Ghost Compendium

Chapter 332: Terrifying Intimidation


"Hmm? What did you say? Qin Crossbow?"

Wu Liang frowned, unable to understand how Director Long could conclude this just by looking at two holes.

But the other party just shrugged and said, "When I was young, my dad took me to learn archery, and during that process, he also taught me the history of bows and crossbows in Huaxia. Haven't you studied history?"

In response to this 'why can't they eat cake' sort of statement, Wu Liang just joked, "Sorry, the only thing from my childhood that involved bows and arrows was shooting birds with a slingshot. Later, because I hit someone else's bird, I almost got taken away by the police for intentional harm. They wouldn't teach me the history of bows and crossbows."

Upon hearing this, Director Long was also taken aback.

Why would shooting a bird get him arrested for intentional harm?

"Wait, you didn't shoot a bird like one that flies, did you!"

"Hehe, that's not important. The real issue is if this octopus thing was indeed vanquished by a Qin Crossbow, then the problem is big. Although my history knowledge isn't great, such a crossbow likely wouldn't appear alone, right?"

Wu Liang's words made Director Long re-evaluate the museum in front of him.

Things like bows and crossbows are typically equipped for army use, plus this is the Terracotta Warriors Museum!

There are large formations of Terracotta Warriors in the excavation pits here!

Beyond the Qin Crossbow, it's likely that swords, spears, halberds, lances, and various weapons are fully equipped on these terracotta figures. And the three excavation pits displayed in the museum are just the currently open areas for viewing.

Who knows how many more Terracotta Warriors are still buried underground?

Now, even a suspected Qin Crossbow used as a museum's outer defense mechanism can instantly shoot down and vanquish a City-Destroying Level Fierce Ghost.

What if the entire army swarmed out?

"Phew... I feel like we've hit the big time this time," Director Long took a deep breath and sighed.

Originally, Wu Liang had taken a playful attitude, but now he became serious as those City-annihilating Ghosts were no longer threats.

This museum is the biggest threat!

If its contents were also fierce ghosts or could trigger some kind of supernatural incident, considering the scale of the Terracotta Warriors, this would definitely be a real-world Country-Destroying Level supernatural event!

Phew—

Just as they were both lost in thought, another Fierce Ghost, being endlessly teleported, ran into trouble.

With a whooshing sound, a City-annihilating Ghost that looked like twisted dead branches of a tree was sliced in half at the waist.

The next second, its three-meter-tall deadwood body was neatly cut into dozens of small segments.

The cross-sections were so smooth and polished that it seemed like they were made by modern cutting machines, testament to the sharpness of the cutting tool.

However, just like the octopus Fierce Ghost before, even though the Deadwood Fierce Ghost was constantly being sliced before their eyes, no tangible object causing the harm appeared.

That Qin Crossbow, that sharp sword, seemed to be in the void, sanctioning those who dared to provoke the Great Qin Army.

Screech—

Just as Wu Liang and Director Long were wondering how to avoid this sanction and get closer to the museum.

The door opened.

In that instant, all the City-annihilating Ghosts being endlessly teleported in the square and open space tried their best to stabilize their forms, at least maintaining their posture during teleportation without any changes.

They stared intently at the door.

Wu Liang and Director Long could even see a greedy look in the eyes of these Fierce Ghosts, as though something they had been longing for was about to emerge.

But before anything appeared, what greeted them first was a chilling wind so intense that it lowered the surrounding temperature to about zero degrees, whistling out.

This eerie wind seemed to herald some change, causing the City-annihilating Ghosts to shudder involuntarily.

"My... the fruit is mine..."

"Only I have the right to consume the fruit!"

"Roar!"

After trembling, all the City-annihilating Ghosts began to strongly endure the random teleportation, attempting to approach the door opened at Pit No. 1 of the museum.

The fruit they mentioned is most likely what Wu Liang suspected could allow the City-annihilating Ghosts to enhance themselves again.

Unlike this group of frenzied City-annihilating Ghosts, Wu Liang and Director Long did not act rashly and still stood on the outermost area coldly observing.

They didn't believe that the power of the Qin Crossbow and Sword Slash would permit these entities to approach so effortlessly.

"Noisy!"

"Who dares make a commotion before the iron hooves of our Great Qin?"

Suddenly, a rough, authoritative voice came out from the crack of the opened door.

The next second, all the struggling City-annihilating Ghosts attempting to approach were like flies being swatted flat to the ground, unable to move.

The previously constant spatial teleportation also vanished.

Director Long's eyes showed disbelief as he witnessed a kind of spatial power beyond his understanding.

The moment the voice appeared, the already chaotic spatial structure around them instantly restored stability.

What does this mean?

It's no different than asking an ordinary person to put spilled water back into the basin, ensuring that each water molecule returns to its original position as before it spilled!

This is beyond human capability.

It's practically a miracle!

Even though Wu Liang had witnessed his own mother, Yao Qingxue, with the ability to create special worlds, he was still shocked by such power.

Perhaps even Yao Qingxue couldn't stabilize such an utterly chaotic space in an instant as this?

He suddenly felt he might have overstepped.

Perhaps against the Fierce Ghosts in this museum... he's really out of his league!

Thud—thud—thud—

From the crack just big enough for one person to pass through, came the echo of heavy footsteps.

Each step seemed to tread upon the very beings of these outer City-annihilating Ghosts, causing them to feel shocking fear, so much so that the one closest to the door involuntarily bowed its head to the ground.

It no longer even had the courage to observe the door.

The footsteps grew closer until a burly figure emerged from the crack, standing before the ghosts, leaving them astounded.

He was a tall, strong-built man, his forehead broad, and his eyes gleaming with spirit.

He wore a swallowtail crown, draped in battle attire, with fish-scale armor covering his chest, holding a light green Bronze Halberd, embellished with exquisite shoulder decorations on both sides, his boots with tips tilted upwards, exuding a resolute aura, presenting the image of a seasoned general.

Glancing at the City-annihilating Ghosts lying on the ground, the general raised the Bronze Halberd towards Wu Liang and the others, and spoke in a calm tone:

"You do not resemble the people of my Great Qin."

"Which era is this?"
