Cultivation Pet Shop

These ghosts chased after anything that had life force, which meant that as long as there was something fast enough to bring them away, it was easy to lead these ghosts in a circle.

As for why Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen didn't want to fight them head on, that was because the cultivations of each of these ghosts weren't low.

When they had been chasing after the rat earlier, the ghosts had revealed their cultivation while running.

The shocking thing was that every single one of these ghosts was in the Embryo Soul Realm, at different levels of the Embryo Soul Realm. Some were in the low Embryo Soul Realm, some were in the mid Embryo Soul Realm, and there were a few different looking ones that were in the high Embryo Soul Realm.

As for the peak Embryo Soul Realm, Lin Fan hadn't seen one so far.

To fight against all of them, with these kinds of numbers, perhaps even someone in the Child Soul Realm wouldn't be able to take them all on.

While Lin Fan was certain that he would be able to run from someone in the Child Soul Realm, there was no way for him to fight someone in the Child Soul Ream head on, or at least that was what he thought.

There was even less of a chance for Mo Ze Chen who was in the low Embryo Soul Realm to win. That was because Mo Ze Chen wasn't actually a combat expert, rather he was an expert in escaping which was a more useful technique when it came to excavating ruins.

The only thing that Mo Ze Chen had going for him were his artifacts, but those came in limited quantities and there were definitely too many ghosts for him to deal with with just the amount of artifacts that he had now.

Once he didn't have any artifacts left, Mo Ze Chen would actually be weaker than a normal expert since he didn't have any real combat skills.

That meant that Mo Ze Chen would only be a burden at that point.

This was why this discovery was important because it allowed them to avoid fighting these ghosts all around them.

Lin Fan didn't waste any time as he released another rat and threw it into the distance.

As soon as the rat landed, it began running through ghosts, drawing all the nearby ones to chase after it as it led them on a wild goose chase.

There wasn't a single ghost that was able to keep up with the rat and soon the path in front of them was cleared. However, Lin Fan didn't stop it there as he pulled out several more rats that he threw out in different directions.

These rats all ran off to pull in their own group of ghosts, creating a large area around them that was completely empty.

Brainy controlled these rats to continue running around in circles while also moving forward. As they went along, the hordes that were following the various rats also became larger and larger.

This seemed like it was very risky because once they lost control of these hordes, it would mean that they would be surrounded by ghosts, but actually it was very safe since none of the ghosts could keep up to the rats. They weren't even as fast as the rats, so the rats were able to maintain a steady pace as they led the ghosts in circles.

Just like this, they moved closer and closer to the giant tree of light that was in the center of the city. It almost seemed like they were about to reach it without any consequence, but then there was a sudden explosion that came from nearby.

Brainy immediately turned its head in the direction of the explosion and Lin Fan could tell that something was wrong.

Lin Fan asked in his mind, "What is it?"

Brainy was silent for a bit before saying, "There's something that suddenly showed up and destroyed one of the puppets. It happened too fast for me to see what it was."

Lin Fan also knitted his brows when he heard this since this wasn't good news. It meant that there might be something more dangerous than the ghosts in this city.

Lin Fan asked, "Can you find out what it is?"

Brainy gave a nod before saying, "I've already sent the other puppets over, it won't take long before I can see what is happening there."

Not long after, Brainy could see what it was, but it also couldn't help knitting its brows.

Lin Fan could sense this feeling from Brainy and he asked, "What is it?"

Brainy was about to say something, but it suddenly stopped as it turned in the same direction again. As if on cue, there was another explosion that suddenly rang out once again.

Brainy focused on controlling its puppets and only after a bit, did Brainy let out a sigh.

Lin Fan saw that it had finished with what it had been doing, so he asked, "Just what is it?"

Brainy gave another sigh before saying, "It's another ghost, but this one is in the peak Embryo Soul Realm. Not only that, it's much faster than all the other ghosts, so it was able to catch up to my puppets. I had to use the others to take the rest of the horde from the ones that were destroyed, but it's really pushing it. I'll need a few more puppets for this, but that's not the main thing. I'll need that…"

Lin Fan was surprised to hear Brainy suddenly mention that, but he still gave a nod and pulled out the puppets that Brainy needed.

Mo Ze Chen was confused as to what was happening, but seeing that Lin Fan was clearly taking care of something, he didn't say anything.

When Lin Fan pulled out the puppets, what came out were a few more rats, but also a bunny.

This bunny was very cute and seemed completely harmless, but the aura that it gave stated otherwise. This bunny was actually in the Fragmented Soul Realm.

Lin Fan threw out the puppets and they all ran off in different directions. As for the bunny, it ran off in the direction of the explosion with Lin Fan following behind it.

When Mo Ze Chen saw this, he couldn't help asking, "Brother Lin, isn't that the direction where the explosions are coming from? Shouldn't we be avoiding that direction?"

Lin Fan didn't bother explaining as he just said, "You can stay if you want, or you can follow me to see what the cause of those explosions are."

After saying this, Lin Fan didn't wait at all as he headed off in that direction.

Mo Ze Chen was left there with a bitter smile, but then he still followed Lin Fan.

If he were to stay here, who knows what kind of things would come out to attack him. He knew that it was Lin Fan that was keeping away the ghosts and if he didn't stay near Lin Fan, there was no guarantee that ghosts would still stay away.

So stay here and die? He would rather follow Lin Fan into uncertain danger than stay here waiting for certain death.

Just like that, they travelled off in the direction the explosion came from.

As they were walking, there were several more explosions that rang out, but this time Brainy didn't react to them.

Since Brainy didn't react, it must mean that there wasn't anything special that happened.

Soon, they came closer and closer and they were able to see the explosions in the distance. The longer they had walked, the more frequent the explosions came. It was almost as if whatever was causing it was getting impatient.

When they finally arrived, they jumped up onto the roof of one of the buildings to get a better look and they saw the bunny running around with a larger ghost chasing it. This ghost clearly had a stronger cultivation than the others, but even then, it still couldn't catch up to this bunny.

This bunny was one that Lin Fan had caught back in the Kunlun Mountains and it wasn't a beast that was good for fighting.

It was a beast that excelled in running, so even though this bigger corpse was faster than the other ghosts, faster than the rats, it still wasn't able to catch up to the bunny.

The bunny was even faster than Lin Fan when it came to burst speed, but it's weakness was in stamina.

However, even without going max speed, the bunny was able to easily outrun the bigger ghost.

Even Lin Fan would have been able to outrun the bigger ghost since it wasn't moving at that fast of a speed. After all, it was still a corpse that was rotten to a certain degree, so its movements were still impacted.

Mo Ze Chen watched on in amazement at this scene. He knew that he wouldn't be able to even take a single hit from this peak Embryo Soul Realm ghost, but this bunny was easily able to dodge the attacks from it.

As Lin Fan was watching the bunny move around with the ghost, he also pulled out a white dagger with a wave of his hand.

He continued to watch the ghost chase the bunny around until he suddenly saw his chance.

With a single flick of his wrist, he threw out the white dagger right at the ghost.
