Chapter 103: Chapter 85: Ghost Demon Cluster! The Administrator Makes a Move!

"Is this the origin of the desert?"

On the watchtower of the Sanctuary gate, Su Yu and his group looked into the distance with heavy hearts.

At the far end of their vision, several kilometers away from the Sanctuary, a sprawling mass of viscous gray mist extending hundreds of meters was steadily advancing toward their location.

Even though it hadn’t drawn near, just staring at the distant gray mist made one feel a wave of dizziness in the brain and an uncontrollable sense of nausea started to spread.

"Administrator, do you know what this is?"

Several Hunting Team Leaders were taken aback by the scene in front of them.

Some even had a look of fear creeping into their eyes.

It wasn’t because they were cowardly.

With their strength and hunting experience, even if a four-star Radiation Beast Lord attacked, they wouldn’t be scared to this extent.

But the threatening aura from this bizarre gray mist, whose origins and principles were utterly unknown, was in a different league than the threat from a Radiation Beast Lord!

Upon hearing the uneasy questions from the team leaders, the Administrator also felt a heaviness in his heart and put on a serious expression, "I have some suspicions, but I can’t be certain yet... someone must go and investigate the situation!"

"I suspect this thing might be related to Ghost Energy!"

"What? Ghost Energy?"

Upon hearing the name.

The present Hunting Team Leaders were all stunned.

The name Ghost Energy wasn’t unfamiliar to them.

In this area, the notoriously fearsome medium-sized settlement, the Ghost Tribe, wielded this kind of extraordinary energy.

The origins of Ghost Energy are unknown. Some say it’s a creation of chaotic Evil Gods from Subspace, others claim it to be remnants of imperial technology. There are too many theories, and no one cares about the truth anymore. Only two bits of information are certain.

Firstly.

The last ruling entity on Ruins Star, the Ghost Empire, relied on this energy to establish its reign. Of course, this energy eventually turned this frontier planet into the current Ruins Star.

Secondly.

Among the various settlements nearby, only the Ghost Tribe has technology related to Ghost Energy.

"Could it be... this is something the Ghost Tribe concocted? Are they preparing to use it to annex us smaller settlements? But this gray mist doesn’t seem like it’s trying to subdue us!"

Hu Yueshan spoke, unable to hide the tension in his voice.

The Administrator was aware that the reputation of the Ghost Tribe was intimidating.

These Hunting Team Leaders all carried a significant dread within their hearts.

The Ghost Tribe’s notorious reputation wasn’t just due to their power. More importantly, over the years, anyone who crossed them, even by accident, whether they were mere ruins residents or ruined settlements, ended up in miserably tragic situations. Being directly killed by people sent by the Ghost Tribe was considered a relatively fortunate outcome.

The truly tragic ones would be captured and taken back to be used as test subjects for the Ghost Tribe’s Ghost Energy technology, a fate worse than death!

Even the Administrator, who hailed from Dawn City, feared the Ghost Tribe immensely, let alone these Hunting Team Leaders?

Thus, even though he had a creeping suspicion that this gray mist was created by Ghost Energy, he refrained from confirming it outright. To maintain morale, he immediately declared sternly, "I can’t be sure if this is Ghost Energy, so let’s not scare ourselves for now!"

The Administrator spoke, preparing to issue orders.

"Bai Hong, gather the rescue team members and organize the Sanctuary residents. Open the armory, distribute firearms, and have them come to the front of the Sanctuary to assist us in repelling this gray mist!"

Even though the exact nature of this bizarre gray mist was unknown.

Sitting and waiting for doom was definitely not the Administrator’s style.

When Bai Hong, also startled by the Ghost Tribe’s reputation, heard the Administrator’s orders, he snapped back to reality and quickly responded, "Understood, I’ll go right away!"

Bai Hong turned to start assembling people but was called back by Su Yu before he could act.

"Captain Bai, don’t gather the Sanctuary residents."

Su Yu said, looking at the Administrator, speaking in a deep tone, "Not only should we refrain from gathering the Sanctuary residents, but also, no members from the hunting teams below the two-star level should join the battle. I ask all the team leaders to deploy their forces, have them retreat to the back of the Sanctuary, and be prepared to evacuate at any moment!"

"The upcoming blockade can only be handled by those of us who are Transcendents above the two-star level!"

"Mr. Su, what do you mean by this?"

Upon hearing Su Yu’s serious words.

The Administrator and others turned slightly pale.

The elder couldn’t help but ask in a low voice.

Su Yu took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on the gray mist advancing steadily toward the Sanctuary, and spoke in a calm voice, "Sir, are you familiar with Ghost Demons?"

"Ghost Demons..."

The name made the Administrator freeze for a moment before his pupils shrank to the extreme!

"Are you saying, this gray mist is formed by Ghost Demons?!"

Ghost Energy.

Though its origin is untraceable, one thing is clear.

This kind of energy is extremely chaotic and impure.

Compared to the Spiritual Energy that Transcendents draw from Subspace, Ghost Energy is like the murky water of a swamp.

Even Transcendents with steadfast wills could initially make limited use of it.

But with increased frequency of use, Transcendents engaged with Ghost Energy become like travelers who step deeper into quicksand, getting more entangled until eventually, they are completely assimilated by Ghost Energy, turning into beings akin to a radiation source.
