Sensing a Secret

It was not only Xue Wei who felt that something was amiss. It was as if these ghosts had a primitive and uncontrollable need to fight one another.

Their bodies were different from that of living beings, and they did not sustain injuries as such. Still, their energy was being spent at a rapid pace, some of which even dissipated into thin air, but they were still desperately trying to emerge victoriously.

It seemed that to them, it was not enough to beat the other. Even in the current situation where they were almost even, they did not retreat to tend to their injuries and return later when they had gotten stronger. Instead, they fought more and more ferociously as if there was no other option.

Lan frowned as he looked at the two ghosts, but before he had the time to guess the cause behind their odd behavior, another ghost appeared on a sand dune opposite to them.
