"Ring, ring, ring~~!"
At that mont, Mu Rufeng's phone suddenly rang.
"Drive it yourself, I'm taking a call," Mu Rufeng said as he loosened his grip and pulled out his phone.
"Sure thing, master," Ma Qiu swiftly replied.
"Look, train conductor, I've been waiting all day for this call." Mu Rufeng started to complain as soon as he answered the phone.
He had called the train conductor again at noon during his lunch break, but still, no one had picked up.
"Mr. Mu, I'm truly sorry, so sorry indeed, I just woke up, saw your ssage, and imdiately returned your call," the train conductor said apologetically.
"So, do you think the client I entertained last night could be the Captain of the Gluttonous Cruise?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"I'm not sure, I don't even know his na. And there are multiple Level 8 Captains; I know of four," the train conductor replied.
"The first is, of course, the Captain of the Gluttonous Cruise, the second is the Captain of the Titanic, and the third is the Captain of the Black Pearl."
"I haven't heard about the other Captains getting injured, so it could only be the Captain from the Gluttonous Cruise..." the train conductor paused.
After a brief pause, he continued, "Mr. Mu, I assu the Captain won't be leaving the Blood Chamber Hotel anyti soon."
"I'll ask soone to pull so strings and find out what the Captain of the Gluttonous Cruise is called. If it really is him, we can't let him get away this ti."
"Alright, I won't return until tomorrow night, so there's still ti," said Mu Rufeng.
"Don't worry, it won't take too long," replied the train conductor, ready to hang up the phone.
"Wait a second, train conductor, I wanted to ask about the at Fruit, Soul Fruit, and Strength Fruit sold in your dining car. Do you know anything about them?" asked Mu Rufeng.
"Huh? That's always been handled by Xiao Fei; I haven't paid much attention to it. Why?" the train conductor asked.
"I cleared out your stock last ti, ten thousand yuan each, and then today at Treasure Tower, I saw them for just one thousand yuan each."
"Though I'm not short on money, I don't want to be the big sucker. Beat up Xiao Fei for , to let off so steam," Mu Rufeng said.
"What? That Xiao Fei, rest assured, Mr. Mu, I'll imdiately top up the difference to your card, and I'll throw him into the fuel furnace to vent your frustration," the train conductor said, fuming.
"I said, just beat him up for , I'll want to do it myself next ti I see him," Mu Rufeng stated.
"Sure, no problem, Mr. Mu, your word is law, I'll beat him to death," the train conductor gritted his teeth.
"Mm," Mu Rufeng nodded and then hung up the phone.
"Ma Qiu, let drive; we're short on ti," Mu Rufeng said as he picked up and placed his hands on the handlebars.
"Yes, master," Ma Qiu quickly responded.
Suddenly, Mu Rufeng twisted the throttle to the max.
"Roar!" Ma Qiu roared, and the speed abruptly soared.
In just seven to eight seconds, the speed of Ma Qiu shot from hundred kiloters per hour to one hundred and fifty.
Rember, this was an urban road with plenty of traffic.
But this was no trouble for Mu Rufeng. With the Crazy Driver's boost and his brilliant driving skills, he managed with ease.
After weaving through Qingshan City for about forty minutes, the roads beca more remote.
Even the pavent beneath changed from the previous tarmac to a slightly uneven concrete road.
"Master, we're about to leave the city. Your ghost qi should last a while, right? We still need to drive in the wilderness for another twenty minutes," Ma Qiu spoke.
"Twenty minutes? Should be about right," Mu Rufeng said.
A few minutes later, Ma Qiu's speed suddenly dropped.
At that mont, Mu Rufeng looked into the distance and spotted the encroaching Darkness.
It emitted a highly abnormal aura that gave one the chills.
Mu Rufeng even noticed so warning signs along the roadside.
They had ssages like 'do not leave,' along with warnings about the dangers of the wilderness, and attention to the Spiritual Pollution.
Imdiately, Mu Rufeng released his ghost qi.
As the ghost qi appeared, that abnormal aura instantly vanished.
"Master, you have to maintain the ghost qi. It's foggy today. Without it, if we get lost in the wilderness, that would be truly dangerous," Ma Qiu said, stopping at a clear boundary line and calling out again.
Mu Rufeng didn't speak, only honked the horn and twisted the throttle, plunging straight into the Darkness.
As soon as he entered, Mu Rufeng felt his ghost qi being eroded from all sides.
Right away, he shrank the range of his ghost qi to a three-ter radius around himself, which drastically reduced the eroding force.
"Ten minutes," Mu Rufeng sensed that his ghost qi would probably only last about ten minutes.
He had no choice; his strength had improved, but his Ghost Power level could barely reach Level 4 standards.
For a Level 4 to deploy ghost qi was virtually impossible. For Mu Rufeng to last ten minutes was already an extraordinary feat.
"But there's no need to worry, after all, he could rely on Little Ying and Bai Jingwei's Ghost Power and hold on for another twenty minutes without any problem."
As they entered the darkness, Ma Qiu's front lights instantly turned on, illuminating the road ahead.
At the sa ti, the flas enveloping his body also broadened the visible range considerably.
"Master, this Fla Vehicle Card is really impressive, the speed at which the ghost qi erodes has slowed down a lot," Ma Qiu said.
"By the way, Ma Qiu, are there any Spiritual Objects or sothing similar in the wilderness?" Mu Rufeng asked.
"Of course, Spiritual Objects are all grown in the wilderness, and they can absorb the chaotic ghost qi from there," Ma Qiu replied.
"In that case, wouldn't many people specifically enter the wilderness to look for Spiritual Objects?" Mu Rufeng comnted.
"Yes, Master, but this is a high-risk profession, and you must possess a Ghost Power to do it; otherwise, coming to the wilderness without Ghost Power really is seeking death," Ma Qiu explained.
"The Spiritual Objects in Treasure Tower, are they also obtained from the wilderness?" Mu Rufeng asked further.
"Yes, Master, Treasure Tower has its own Hunters, and it seems they have even carved out many spirit fields in the wilderness specifically for planting Spiritual Objects," Ma Qiu said.
"Ma Qiu, it seems you know quite a lot," Mu Rufeng said with a smile.
"Well, of course, Master, I have been working for five years now, I've carried many, many passengers, and they chat and make phone calls while riding, so I learned a bit more," Ma Qiu explained.
"Woo woo woo~~!"
It was just then that so strange noises suddenly ca from a distance.
It sounded very much like a monster's gulping noise as it ate.
"Master, it seems we have a situation," Ma Qiu whispered.
"Ignore it, keep driving, don't slow down," Mu Rufeng ordered.
Ma Qiu responded and then continued driving along the road he rembered.
A minute later.
They had driven quite a distance, but instead of fading, the gulping sounds seed even closer, as though they were right behind them.
Mu Rufeng turned to look but saw nothing but pitch-black darkness behind them.
The flas on Ma Qiu's body could only illuminate about five ters around them.
After deliberation, Mu Rufeng took out his Light Energy Flashlight.
[Old Light Energy Flashlight]: This is an invention from a brilliant inventor.
Effect: Press the switch to emit light; if in a well-lit area, no personal battery consumption is needed to emit light.
Note: When out of battery, rember to recharge in the light.
This flashlight wasn't of a high level, only a two-level.
However, Mu Rufeng felt that it would definitely be of great use here.
Pressing the switch, the flashlight imdiately shone a bright beam of light.
He then aid the flashlight behind them, towards the source of the gulping sounds.
When the light of the flashlight penetrated the darkness, it did not shine very far, reaching about fifteen ters.
Fifteen ters wasn't too close.
However, at a position about twelve ters away, Mu Rufeng saw an Abnormality covered all over with mouths.
This Abnormality was also holding a black stick about one ter long and was gnawing on it continuously.
Since the wilderness was shrouded in a black fog, visibility was poor, so Ma Qiu's speed wasn't very fast, or else they would have definitely shaken off this creature.
When the flashlight shone on it, all the mouths opened and let out a roar.
However, Mu Rufeng couldn't hear any sound at all.
"What is happening?" Mu Rufeng was sowhat puzzled.
The Abnormality kept pursuing Mu Rufeng on foot, its dozens of mouths still opening and closing without making a sound.
"Wait... could it be a Spiritual Attack? And because I'm immune to level four and below Spiritual Pollution, so...," Mu Rufeng guessed.
Because the Abnormality chasing them was only Level 4, he was naturally immune to its Spiritual Attack.
Ma Qiu wasn't affected either, being rely a vehicle, any soundwave or spiritual attacks had no effect on him.
"This is a good opportunity to test the effectiveness of my new slingshot."
Mu Rufeng turned around in his seat, facing the Abnormality behind him.
This Abnormality, presumably, was the one contaminated and void of reason that Ma Qiu had ntioned—an Evil Ghost.
On the wilderness above, those Abnormalities contaminated and void of reason were known as Evil Ghosts.
Mu Rufeng took out the Black Wood Slingshot and a marble, loaded it, then aid directly at the Evil Ghost's head and fired.
"Whizz~~~!"
There was a sound of cutting through the air, and in an instant, he saw the marble penetrate the Evil Ghost's cranium.
However, the Evil Ghost acted as if nothing had happened and continued to chase after Mu Rufeng.
