Chapter 72 Bewitching Hearts and Escapes with Luo Yue Rao on His Back

Willow Crab also instantly caught sight of that massive figure. Its originally lazy expression froze instantly, its pupils constricted, and it hurriedly shouted.

"Kid, run! It's a Silver Rank 8 Mind-Beguiling Ghost."

"I... know!" Gu Ye's heart pounded wildly. Spiritual energy erupted from his entire body. Not daring to hesitate for a second, a thought flashed through his mind, and he hurriedly switched to the tuonaduo armor.

The tuonaduo armor and nava armor appeared simultaneously, activating the effect [Solar Energy Resonance].

The tuonaduo armor's overall speed increased twofold, its armor defense increased twofold, spiritual energy consumption was halved, and it could absorb solar energy to restore spiritual energy.

Gu Ye's speed increased even further.

Just at this moment, the Mind-Beguiling Ghost let out a deafening roar. Its massive palm, bringing with it a shadow that blotted out the sky and wrapped in violent ghost energy, descended from the heavens, slamming fiercely toward Gu Ye and Willow Crab.

The palm wind was sharp, compressing the surrounding air until it emitted muffled explosions; the ground even began to show tiny cracks in advance.

Out of the corner of his eye, Gu Ye caught a glimpse of Luo Yuerou lying unconscious on the ground. His heart softened, he gritted his teeth, and cursed under his breath, "Consider this your life debt to me!"

Before the words left his mouth, he bent down, hoisted Luo Yuerou onto his shoulder, and clamped his arm tightly around her legs, not daring to loosen his grip in the slightest.

Immediately, he fiercely activated the skill [Hurricane Void Instant Movement Technique].

Gu Ye's figure instantly vanished from the spot, leaving behind only a faint trail of wind.

Almost the instant he vanished, the Mind-Beguiling Ghost's giant palm slammed heavily into the ground. With a loud "Boom—!", dirt flew everywhere, and crushed stones fell like rain.

The ground was forcefully smashed into a huge crater several meters deep, with jagged pit walls, showing just how terrifying the power of that palm was.

The Mind-Beguiling Ghost lowered its huge head, its turbid eyes scanning the crater. Thinking that Gu Ye and the others had long been smashed into meat paste by it, it let out a triumphant low roar and slowly lifted its palm.

But when it saw clearly that the crater was completely empty, without even a trace of blood, a flash of rage instantly crossed its eyes. It let out a roar that shook the mountain stream, its voice filled with unwillingness and fury.

When Gu Ye appeared again, he was already a hundred meters away from the Mind-Beguiling Ghost.

Seeing this, the Mind-Beguiling Ghost was thoroughly enraged. It moved its thick limbs and came sprinting toward Gu Ye's direction.

The mountain stream, which was originally quite large, appeared so narrow under the Mind-Beguiling Ghost's towering figure. Looking down from high above, it was as if a person was struggling to move forward in a crack.

"Master Liu, what should we do?" Gu Ye constantly kept an eye on the movements of the Mind-Beguiling Ghost behind him. As soon as the Mind-Beguiling Ghost approached, he would activate his skill to widen the distance between them.

"You run first, let me observe." Willow Crab straightened its body, its small eyes filled with ghost energy, staring straight ahead.

While observing the terrain, Willow Crab said, "Kid, I finally understand why there isn't a single ghost in this mountain stream; they've all been bewitched and devoured by the Mind-Beguiling Ghost."

"What the Mind-Beguiling Ghost likes most is to control a person's mind when they are unaware, letting them slowly go crazy, and finally devouring them."

That woman just now was controlled by the Mind-Beguiling Ghost, which is why she seemed so manic."

Roar—!

The shadow beneath the Mind-Beguiling Ghost weirdly rushed toward Gu Ye, instantly arriving beneath him. It transformed into a giant black nail with a cold glint on its tip, and with lightning speed, it quickly nailed the shadow behind him.

Following closely behind, the Mind-Beguiling Ghost's giant palm attempted to kill Gu Ye in one blow.

Gu Ye's shadow was nailed down, causing his figure to pause for a moment, but the shadow quickly broke free from the nail. He increased his speed again and escaped the range where the giant palm fell.

Trait [Piercing Sky Hurricane Seal] activated! Immune to binding control effects!

"Boom—!" The giant palm slammed into the ground again, creating another huge crater. Stones flew everywhere, nearly grazing the corner of Gu Ye's clothes.

"Kid, run to the left."

Gu Ye immediately changed direction. Perhaps because Gu Ye's running was too bumpy, Luo Yuerou on his shoulder slowly woke up. Her eyes were still somewhat dazed, and she asked weakly, "I... where am I? What happened?"

Before she could finish her sentence, as Gu Ye turned, her head hit a tree with a "thud," and Luo Yuerou passed out again in an instant.

"Master Liu, did you hear someone talking just now?"

Willow Crab was stunned; could another ghost have appeared? But its eyes scanned the area and it saw nothing. However, it still hurriedly urged Gu Ye to run.

The two ran another li or so, each time facing perilous situations, and the Mind-Beguiling Ghost was still in relentless pursuit.

"Stop! Turn left, take five steps, get down." Willow Crab shouted loudly, and its two claws emitted two lasers, shooting into the depths of the forest ahead.

"Roar—!" A huge roar suddenly erupted.

Gu Ye, who had gotten down, saw a huge black shadow dash out from the depths of the forest and collide with the Mind-Beguiling Ghost.

A huge sound came, and the two roared and wrestled together. Gu Ye stared blankly at the monkey-type ghost that had suddenly appeared.

"Why are you crawling there, hurry up and go!" Willow Crab's anxious voice suddenly rang out, pulling Gu Ye's mind back.

Gu Ye hurriedly scrambled up, threw Luo Yuerou back onto his shoulder, and continued to run in the direction given by Willow Crab.

Listening until the sounds of battle finally disappeared, Gu Ye then threw Luo Yuerou onto the ground and rested against a tree.

"What is your name?" The voice was soft and lazy, carrying a touch of casual allure.

Gu Ye looked at Luo Yuerou in surprise, "You're awake."

Luo Yuerou smiled enchantingly: "I woke up when you hoisted me back up to run."

"Thank you for saving me."

Gu Ye rubbed his nose, "You're welcome."

He stood up, avoiding looking at Luo Yuerou. The combat suit on her body was still tattered, revealing a large expanse of fair, tender skin, her curves alluring; she was truly too enchanting. He said, "Since you are awake, let's part ways here."

After speaking, Gu Ye fixed his gaze on a direction, preparing to leave. Suddenly, Luo Yuerou called out to him.

"Wait a moment. Since you dislike being with big sister, then take this thing; it should be helpful to you." Luo Yuerou's tone carried a hint of grievance and allure.

Gu Ye felt that the way she spoke was so strange. He wanted to refuse Luo Yuerou's kindness, but upon seeing it was a map, his tone paused, he withdrew his intention to refuse, and his body honestly accepted the map.

"Thanks, we are even."

Before the words left his mouth, Luo Yuerou suddenly stood up, walked with a bewitching gait to stand in front of Gu Ye, tilted her head slightly, smiled charmingly, and said in an ambiguous tone, "How could we be even? Big sister's body was seen completely by you, you know."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ye's pupils constricted, and he explained, "You can't blame me for that; it was forced by the situation."

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. You haven't answered me yet: what is your name?" Luo Yuerou smiled slightly, her chest truly magnificent.

"Gu Ye!"

After saying this, Gu Ye felt it was better to stay away from this woman. "You are safe now, I'm leaving."

Gu Ye immediately activated the skill [Hurricane Void Instant Movement Technique] and vanished from the spot.

Luo Yuerou's expression froze, her eyes filled with astonishment, then she smiled sweetly. "What a boorish boy. However, with such strength, which Noble Families do you belong to?"
