Chapter 3459: The Unkillable Wind Spirits

The wind spirits existed in a very peculiar way. They had a weak soul flame. Judging purely by the strength of the soul flame, wind spirits were very weak, even weaker than a Heavenly Venerable.

But their bodies had no substance and could completely scatter into nothingness, somewhat similar to illusory-type power.

When they scattered, even their soul flames could disperse, just like dissipating after death. But the next moment, they could gather again.

Between gathering and scattering, the wind spirit silently attached itself to the skeleton general.

In an instant, terrible winds surged from the skeleton general's body. Every corner, every inch of bone on the skeleton general was blown by wind.

The skeleton general's soul flame flickered chaotically in the wind, then quickly extinguished and died.

A sixth-level Dao Venerable skeleton general died silently like this.

After its death, even its solid body was rapidly corroded, leaving not even a speck behind.

No remains were left. This skeleton general had truly died permanently. Even the undead nature lost its effect at this moment.

After its death, that wind spirit appeared again, unchanged from before.

Its soul flame was still as weak, looking as if any Heavenly Venerable would be much stronger than it.

Lin Moyu's vision was connected to this skeleton general, witnessing the entire process. "So this is a wind spirit? Killing a sixth-level Dao Venerable skeleton general was actually so easy."

"No wonder those Dao Venerables of the Wu family would die at its hands. It's indeed a bit strange, but also interesting. Let's try again!"

He had nearby skeleton generals rush over. From afar, before the wind spirit could launch an attack, the skeleton generals struck first.

White sword energy flashed through the cave, instantly tearing the wind spirit apart. Facing the skeleton generals' attack, it seemed to have no ability to fight back at all.

But the next second, this torn-apart wind spirit gathered together again, flying towards the skeleton general.

During its flight, it constantly scattered and gathered, changing between scattering and gathering, giving the feeling of teleportation.

Lin Moyu ordered the skeleton general to dodge. The skeleton general quickly retreated along the narrow passage towards other areas.

The skeleton general retreated very fast. The wind spirit wasn't as fast as the skeleton general and couldn't catch up no matter what.

After chasing for a while, the wind spirit suddenly stopped, no longer pursuing.

Not only did it stop chasing, but the wind spirit also returned the way it came, back to where it first appeared.

Lin Moyu had the skeleton general attack the wind spirit again, scattering it a second time. The wind spirit chased again.

The skeleton general continued to retreat. At the same spot as last time, the wind spirit stopped again, then returned to its own territory.

At this point, the skeleton general quickly caught up, attacking again before it could return.

The wind spirit chased again, but when it reached the same spot as before, it suddenly stopped, then flew back towards its initial location.

After this experiment, Lin Moyu figured out the wind spirit's movement pattern.

The wind spirit's range of action was actually limited. Usually, it just stayed in its own territory, not going anywhere.

Even when chasing someone, it wouldn't go beyond a thousand-meter distance.

Once it reached a thousand meters, the wind spirit would return, even if attacked midway. It still wouldn't go beyond a thousand meters from its territory.

"The wind spirits seem to have their own rules. Who set these rules for the wind spirits?"

"Strictly speaking, wind spirits are not living beings. Although they have soul flames, they don't have any consciousness, only some simple instincts."

"The only trouble is how to kill them. Ordinary attacks are ineffective, and the soul flame can freely gather and scatter. So let's try a soul attack."

To use a soul attack, there were two methods. One was for Lin Moyu to go personally and use Skeleton Hell, using the Hell's Eye to launch a soul attack.

The other was the Skeleton King's White Bone God Slayer, which invoked the Bloody White Bone Great Dao and could launch a dual attack on both body and soul.

Lin Moyu had a thought, and a Skeleton King appeared beside him.

The cave was too small. Even shrunk to its smallest size, the Skeleton King still touched the ceiling and floor, finding it very difficult to even stand.

With the Skeleton King's appearance, the skeleton generals immediately shared the White Bone God Slayer.

A skeleton general approached again, raising its bone sword. Technique: White Bone God Slayer!

The Bloody White Bone Great Dao appeared. Following its attack, numerous small, white bone swords flew out, accompanied by a sword light, tearing apart the wind spirit.

Unsurprisingly, the wind spirit was scattered, but the next second it returned to its original state.

"Useless?"

Lin Moyu was a bit surprised. The skeleton general quickly retreated, escaping beyond a thousand meters to avoid the wind spirit's chase.

Even soul attacks were ineffective. Lin Moyu was getting a headache.

At this point, the exploration of the cave had come to a standstill. The skeleton generals had explored over ten thousand routes, but wind spirits appeared on every route, blocking the skeleton generals' path.

Even soul attacks were ineffective. Lin Moyu knew that relying on skeleton generals alone probably wouldn't work against these wind spirits.

He had a thought, and more skeleton generals rushed over. Since you're blocking the way, I'll force my way through!

Hundreds and thousands of skeleton generals charged towards the same path. Lin Moyu didn't believe that a few wind spirits could kill so many skeleton generals.

The appearance of the skeleton generals attracted the wind spirits' attention, and they immediately pounced to kill.

The skeleton general possessed by a wind spirit quickly fell into mortal danger. Lin Moyu had a thought, and that skeleton general voluntarily died, its body automatically crumbling.

Seeing the skeleton general die, the wind spirit didn't continue to possess it but pounced towards another.

The just-deceased skeleton general took this moment to revive and then continued forward.

"It really works!"

Lin Moyu laughed inwardly. The wind spirits had no intelligence, so he used suicide to trick them.

The skeleton generals might not be able to kill the wind spirits, but in front of suicidal skeleton generals, the wind spirits were also run ragged.

This was the disadvantage of having no intelligence. As long as there was no intelligence, there were many ways to deal with them.

The key was that Lin Moyu currently didn't want to risk himself. At least before the map was fully explored, he didn't want to go.

Otherwise, if he used Skeleton Hell, Lin Moyu believed he could certainly solve these wind spirits.

A vast number of skeleton generals broke through the wind spirits' territory, continuing to explore the cave.

The caves in Rift Wind Cliff were incredibly complex, with countless forks, twists and turns, and most were dead ends.

As they went deeper, Lin Moyu found that the wind spirits were getting stronger and gradually increasing in number.

Stronger wind spirits had more corrosive power. Once a skeleton general was possessed, it wouldn't last even a second.

Finally, a skeleton general rushed into a relatively spacious cavern. A treasure entered its vision, along with dozens of wind spirits.

This skeleton general was quickly possessed by a wind spirit and subsequently died.

The skeleton general's vision was quite peculiar and couldn't see too many details. To see clearly, Lin Moyu would have to go personally.

"The first treasure. If Wu family members find this place, this treasure would be their gain."

"But for me, this treasure doesn't mean much."

Lin Moyu knew his purpose for coming here. First was for the Hell fragment, second was to help the Three Ancestors find the wind opening.

A treasure wasn't something Lin Moyu cared about.

One cavern after another was found, most containing treasures. The only problem was that the number of wind spirits was also very high, ranging from dozens to hundreds.

These weren't what Lin Moyu wanted. He needed to find the truly correct path.
