Zoom out.........

As dawn broke, some people left, while others rushed back!

A hunting party was seen marching confidently toward the ancient city gate.

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Look! That's the 'Ghost Hunters' hunting party, ghost hunters who specialize in dealing with ghostly demons!!!"

The members of the hunting party were dressed in specially made black outfits embroidered with silver runes that shimmered with a mysterious light in the sunlight.

They carried exquisite quivers filled with arrows engraved with spells, and uniquely designed cedar swords hung at their waists.

This cedar wood sword may look ordinary, but it has quite a history. It was meticulously crafted by a Taoist priest from Maoshan, modeled after a peach wood sword struck by lightning.

Within the Taoist system, peach wood swords possess special spiritual power, capable of dispelling the yin energy from wandering spirits, making them unable to hide.

Once a ghost is cut by a cedarwood sword, it will suffer a severe loss of vitality and will be difficult to recover.

The sword made from peach wood that survived being struck by lightning is the best of the best. The combination of lightning and fire with the life force of the green wood gives it a +1000 advantage!

A cedar sword is less effective than a peach wood sword, which has a deeper sap.

In short, the order is: Lightning-struck peach wood sword >> Lightning-struck cedar wood sword >> Artificial lightning-struck peach wood sword >> Peach wood sword >> Cedar wood sword!

The artificial lightning-struck peach wood sword is a domestic product!

The Taoists, the four major online merchants, and the peach orchard owners all over the south combine their efforts to produce lightning-struck peach wood using 2 to 220 volts of high voltage. However, artificial lightning is still no match for natural lightning, so peach wood swords of the same level are slightly inferior to cedar wood swords!

However, if every member of a 32-person hunting party has a spirit-grade lightning-struck cedar sword at their waist, then that's a different story!

The members of the hunting party moved with brisk steps and firm eyes, every movement exuding confidence and pride.

Judging by their momentum, not only will they not suffer any losses this time, but they will also surely reap considerable rewards and return in triumph!

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to walk with such a seductive gait!

..........

As Chu Ming's number one sycophant (in his own opinion), Scott gained the privilege of serving closely after no longer having to lead the team to hunt down Sa Lang, thanks to his superb flattery skills. This not only solidified Scott's position within the Undead Blood Clan, but also garnered a large number of envious, jealous, and hateful people!

At that moment, Scott shifted uncomfortably.

Seeing this, Chu Ming became curious and couldn't help but ask, "That lightning-struck cedar sword shouldn't be of any use to you, right?"

Fir trees grow in the mortal world and often grow to towering heights, with thirty to fifty feet being commonplace!

Its vitality is extremely strong.

What's particularly peculiar is that cedar trees are believed to reproduce by being struck by lightning and fire.

It seems that only through the trials of life and death can the race continue.

A cedar sword made from this magical cedar wood,

It possesses unimaginable restraint and powerful destructive force against the undead.

When the undead approach the cedar sword

The sword seemed to emanate a unique aura.

It was as if the power of thunder and fire that had once been experienced had been rekindled.

The burning souls of the dead

This caused it to let out painful cries.

Each sword aura unleashed by the cedarwood sword,

They are all like the vitality that bursts forth from the brink of life and death in cedar trees.

It can tear apart the body and soul of the dead.

Making them difficult to survive in the world,

Like the thread of reincarnation being severed, it vanished into nothingness.

However, talking about restraint without considering hierarchy is just being irresponsible!

These general-level cedar swords are so powerful that even a Grand Commander-level demon would have a hard time killing them; at most, they could only kill some minor commanders!

Upon hearing this, Scott, an undead vampire, frowned slightly, suppressing his natural aversion to the cedarwood sword!

He opened his mouth and said, "It's an instinctive reaction etched in my blood, it's disgusting!"

"Moreover, just from the smell, I know that this cedar wood sword is 100% from the North Rice Federation."

Within the vast territory of the Rice Grain Federation, there are actually five Fir Tree Demon Kingdoms standing tall.

These cedar spirits harbored an intense, almost obsessive, hostility towards plant-based demons.

In comparison, even the hatred for humanity seems somewhat insignificant.

Upon entering the territory of the Cedarwood Demon Kingdom, one can immediately sense the strict hierarchical atmosphere.

Here, procreation is a strictly controlled matter.

Only cedar trees of warrior rank are qualified to embark on this path of continuing the bloodline.

Moreover, mature cedar trees cannot reproduce without thunder and fire!

If the cedar trees don't grow tall enough, they won't attract lightning to ripen the cedar seeds, and all efforts will be in vain;

If the lightning doesn't burn intensely enough to burn through the plant layer outside the seed, it will suffocate the young cedar seedling!

And so, generation after generation, the selection process continued...

Their ancestors were incredibly powerful, and their descendants lived up to expectations, proving themselves exceptionally capable.

The speed at which its bloodline evolves is truly terrifying.

According to a report issued by a professional organization after long-term and rigorous monitoring,

Over this long period of time, the bloodline of the Cedarwood Spirit has evolved by approximately 1% every hundred years.

Like an epic of evolution that never stops, they continue to write their own legendary chapters.

The raw materials for this cedar sword all came from the body of a warrior-level cedar giant.

Among plant demons alone, the cedar tree, which doesn't even spare its own kind, can be considered a vampire among humans!

But damn it!

What a coincidence!

"A cedarwood sword born to be bathed in lightning is practically a natural nemesis to us vampires and even to all dark beings."

Just like the basic light magic - Radiance - it's at most a little dazzling to ordinary creatures, but it's completely useless;

However, if you cast Radiance on undead, ghosts, vampires, etc., it can take away half of the target's life, which is more effective than lightning and fire magic!

As Scott spoke, he unconsciously thought of the wound he had in West Vancouver when he was pierced by the cedar swords offered by the Rice Grain Federation by those exorcists. Even though the additional lightning and fire injuries had long been removed, it still ached faintly when he thought about it now!

"That's quite interesting!" Chu Ming looked at it with great interest.

It seems that seven or eight out of ten groups traveling to other places have a cedar or peach wood sword as a weapon. Perhaps this is a characteristic of the ancient capital?

In the distance, some released their spirit pets. These pets varied in form, including agile leopard cats and falcons poised for flight... most of them possessed dark attributes, either shadow or poison-based...

They were driven ahead by their owner to scout the way.

His eyes gleamed with a sinister light as he warily scanned his surroundings, not missing a single shadow or corner.

Some teams' necromancers openly summoned several skeletons, iron zombies, white ghosts... and even a few headless knights of warrior level were summoned for travel!

Five kilometers from the safe zone of the ancient capital, cracks appeared in the ground, and a horde of zombies, almost at the level of generals, surged back!

Emerging from it was a contracted beast resembling a vicious dog, surrounded by thick, dark green miasma—the very same servile-level ancient capital symbol: the Wraith Dog.

The resentment is fresh and heavy; it's obvious at a glance that it's a newly created ghost!

The haunted hounds of the ancient capital have a long history of use in the ancient capital, dating back to prehistoric times.

At that time, the ancestors of the ancient capital discovered that they could use specific rituals and incantations.

They can communicate with the vengeful spirits of these hounds that roam the tribe, using emotions as a bond, and tame them as contracted beasts.

Use it once while you're alive, and you can use it again after you die!

As time went by, this method of animal taming was passed down from generation to generation, but it was only in the last ten years or so that the skill was lost!

Surprisingly, some people actually withstood the pressure and preserved it.
