The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

The staircase was not long, and many of the steps were rotten and broken, so there were only a few places where Zeng Wenyu could step on solid ground, so Zeng Wenyu quickly approached the sounds.

Unlike the deck, the ghostly aura here was much less as he was about to reach the end of the stairs. Zeng Wenyu could clearly see a lot of people standing at the end of the stairs, but rather than saying they were people, they were monsters that Zeng Wenyu had never seen before.

The monsters at the end of the stairs had human breath and human reminders, but the blue-gray color on their faces showed that they were no longer human. Their expressions were different, and joy, anger, sorrow, happiness and sadness kept changing on their faces. Moreover, each expression was very exaggerated. When they laughed, the corners of their mouths cracked to their ears, when they were angry, their eyeballs bulged and their teeth popped out of their mouths, and when they cried, their tears were more like two lines of blood, constantly flowing from the corners of their eyes. They kept changing various expressions, standing at the end of the stairs looking at Zeng Wenyu.

These monsters seemed to be stopped by something. They just stood at the end of the stairs and looked at Zeng Wenyu, growling at him continuously, but they did not run down the stairs.

Standing on the stairs and counting, Zeng Wenyu saw that there were only fifteen monsters here. They were in good health, but he had seen these monsters before. These were the fifteen cultivators with the lowest cultivation levels recruited by Hua Sect. When the cultivators under Long Tan were fighting with the people from Hua Sect, these cultivators only helped to deliver some supplies. Unexpectedly, these cultivators with the lowest cultivation levels would become the first group to mutate.

After stretching his body a little, Zeng Wenyu clenched his fists, bent his knees and leaped upward. When he was close to the end of the stairs, he swung his right fist forward and hit the chest of the monster standing in front.

Even though they have turned into monsters, their bodies are still human bodies. When hit by huge force, they will still fall backwards involuntarily. The same is true for the monster that was hit in the chest by Zeng Wenyu's fist. It leaned back and crushed several monsters behind it, giving Zeng Wenyu a place to stand.

Zeng Wenyu fell down and stepped on the monster in front of him. He kicked forward with his right foot and kicked the monster running towards him down the stairs. He kept waving his fists to repel the monsters around him.

Zeng Wenyu could clearly feel that the touch on his hands and feet was not right. The Qi-refining cultivators only paid more attention to their bodies in the first three stages of Qi-refining, and they mainly trained their Dantian Qi Sea, which allowed them to accommodate more true Qi during cultivation. The more true Qi they could accommodate at this time, the better the quality of the spiritual energy would be when they entered the Spiritual Transformation Stage.

But when Zeng Wenyu's fists and feet hit those monsters, the feeling was obviously like kicking them, and the hardness of the rocks was very high. The recoil of the attacks made Zeng Wenyu's fists and feet numb. It was fortunate that they were not rooted in the ground, so he could push them away with force, making them fall down or fall off the deck. Otherwise, when Zeng Wenyu felt the recoil force, he would leave here immediately.

After kicking another monster down from here, Zeng Wenyu frowned. Under normal circumstances, the stairs were not high, and even if the monsters kicked down from here could land normally, they would make a sound on the wooden deck. However, nine of the fifteen monsters here had been kicked down the stairs by him, but there was not a single sound of them landing, not even the slightest movement.

"Something's wrong! This situation is very wrong," Zeng Wenyu muttered softly as he dodged the attack of the monster next to him, "Why does the ghost energy around me seem to be getting closer? Is it because I attacked these monsters that are neither human nor ghost? Or is it because I kicked them down?"

Just as he said this, Zeng Wenyu suddenly discovered that the ghost energy around this floor was much thicker. Compared to just now when he could almost see the end of the corridor, more than half of it was now shrouded in ghost energy. On the other hand, the thick ghost energy on the deck below the stairs seemed to be lighter than before he came up.

"It seems that I was wrong. I shouldn't have kicked them down. I was wondering why there was not much ghost energy on this floor before. It turns out that it was all absorbed by them."

Dodging the attack that was coming towards him again, Zeng Wenyu was not prepared to fight with these monsters here. He wanted to continue going upstairs to see what was going on upstairs.

They kept dodging the attacks of monsters. After being invaded by ghost energy and turned into monsters, these monks could not use magic, but their speed and physical strength had increased a lot. Moreover, when they attacked Zeng Wenyu, they mostly used the sharp nails that grew on their fingertips. Zeng Wenyu also dodged the nails on their fingers. Those dark and sharp nails were dangerous just by looking at them.

Running all the way in the corridor, Zeng Wenyu saw that almost all the doors on this floor were closed. Zeng Wenyu didn't know what was in these rooms, but precisely because these doors were closed, he didn't have to run around in the corridor at the back and directly found the stairs to the upper floor. The monsters stopped when they reached the stairs. They just stood there and watched Zeng Wenyu climb up the stairs.

"Sure enough, the monsters on each floor can only stay on each floor. They can't leave the floor they are on. So...the monsters that I kicked onto the deck before didn't make any sound. Could it be that they dissipated when they fell? But that doesn't make sense. If they really dissipated, why did the ghost energy on the deck become weaker?"

Zeng Wenyu walked upstairs while thinking, unfortunately he knew nothing about ghost ships, so naturally he would not understand these things.

As soon as he walked out of the stairs, Zeng Wenyu immediately stretched out his right hand and grabbed the door frame at the stairs. A huge suction force was coming from the corridor. Zeng Wenyu could see that all the ghost energy on this floor was gathering towards a light curtain, and that light curtain was very thin and seemed to be able to break at any time under the impact of the ghost energy.

"Shanshan! Be careful!" A cry of surprise came from the other side of the light curtain.

Hearing the voice, Zeng Wenyu's eyes lit up. He let go of the door frame and jogged towards the light curtain. When he got close to the light curtain, he saw two people in it. He seemed to have seen these two people somewhere before.

"Who?" A person in the light curtain shouted in the direction of Zeng Wenyu, "Come out!"

Zeng Wenyu walked out of the darkness and looked at the two people in front of him. Then he remembered that these two people were Bai Jie’s senior sisters whom he saw on the grassland before!
