That's my captain for you

Xu Mu and Chen Xuan both turned their gaze towards Miao He through the light. At this moment, her appearance had also transformed into the image of a ferocious ghost with full fangs.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Mu asked, puzzled.

"This is the Ten Thousand Ghosts Burial, a funeral formation of the commander level. You must know that in the Jiuli tribe, right below the clan leader are the commanders,"

Miao He explained. "This formation can blind the eyes, making everyone in sight look the same."

"That's not a big deal. We can identify each other by voice,"

Chen Xuan said without thinking.

"Whatever you can think of, the master who designed this formation back then had already considered it. In a moment, the voices of all of us will sound the same,"

Miao He continued. "Then, ten thousand ghosts will appear around us. To put it simply, they are things that look like us, but their purpose is to kill us."

Hearing this, both Xu Mu and Chen Xuan were stunned.

Same voice, same appearance.

In this dark world, it was already impossible to distinguish friend from foe.

At this point, adding a group of killers in the mix to sow discord would ultimately make everyone fear for their own safety.

No one could be trusted.

However, Xu Mu was not afraid because the appearances here only blinded the eyes, but his perception did not rely on sight.

For example, right now, Xu Mu saw through the light that the two people before him looked like ferocious ghosts.

But when he closed his eyes and observed through his perception, the two were still their original selves.

"Quick, let's decide on a code name so we can recognize each other. Otherwise, it'll be too late,"

Miao He immediately said to the two of them.

"Okay, my code name is 'I Eat KFC',"

Chen Xuan suddenly said.

"Fine, my code name is 'Building Materials Boss Xu',"

Xu Mu looked at Miao He. "You'll be called 'No Cilantro'."

"How did you know I don't eat cilantro?"

Miao He asked in surprise, looking towards Xu Mu.

"Enough chatter. Once the code names match, we'll ask some simple personal questions, like about the first time we met,"

Xu Mu was mainly finding a method for the two of them. He didn't need it himself because his perception allowed him to see clearly.

However, he was now starting to worry about Meng Wanyue and Dai Xingluo.

He had no idea where those two were. If they were still in the previous formation, Xu Mu would actually feel relieved.

"Brother Mu, what should we do next?"

Chen Xuan's voice came through.

"Whoa! Old Chen, your voice changed. It's very hoarse, like the sound of metal grinding,"

Xu Mu suddenly said.

"Brother Mu, your voice is the same,"

Chen Xuan said with a laugh. "Feels like these ruins are really interesting."

"It won't be interesting when you're dead in a moment,"

Miao He said coldly. "The primary task now is to obtain other people's wristbands. We need to gather nine..."

"Look out!"

Xu Mu suddenly grabbed Miao He's arm and threw her aside.

Bang!

A violent tremor erupted here. Through his perception, Xu Mu saw a ferocious ghost appear near them.

"Let's retreat for now. Once I get the wristbands, I'll come find you,"

Xu Mu's figure moved outside, leaping onto a building.

Through his perception, he found that the surroundings were already in complete chaos. Not to mention other people, even the cleaners had started infighting.

Zzzzt!

Just then, right in front of Xu Mu, a silver electric current appeared.

A figure in a black robe electrocuted another black-robed figure, rendering them unconscious.

But a ferocious ghost nearby hid in the shadows, motionless.

"People from the Eternal Life Research Institute?"

Xu Mu immediately ran towards that area.

When he arrived, he found that this person from the Eternal Life Research Institute had gone mad.

"Die! Die! All of you, die!"

He continuously released electric currents in all directions. Judging from the wounds on his face, he had clearly been scratched by a ghost.

Now he trusted no one.

Xu Mu first crouched beside the electrocuted person and removed his wristband.

Suddenly, another ghost attacked from the side.

Xu Mu casually flung out an illusionary sword.

Boom!

It shattered the ghost on the spot.

"Die!"

While Xu Mu was launching his attack, the electricity-releasing black-robed man noticed.

He roared and charged at Xu Mu.

Zzzzt!

Silver arcs of electricity crackled in the air.

Xu Mu's figure swiftly retreated, dodging the attack. He opened his storage space and took out his own black longsword.

His Spring Night Grass dagger was for dealing with people stronger than himself; this person before him wasn't worthy.

Just as Xu Mu was preparing to strike, another person appeared in his perception.

It was none other than Liang Yi from earlier.

Clearly, she had noticed the electric currents here and guessed it was one of her own people.

The electricity-releasing man looked around and, spotting the approaching Liang Yi, charged at her without hesitation.

"It's me!"

Liang Yi dodged the attack and shouted coldly.

"What kind of thing are you!"

The electricity-releasing man couldn't recognize Liang Yi's voice at all and continued his assault.

Swish!

Liang Yi flashed behind the electricity-releasing man and punched him in the back.

She sent him flying on the spot.

"I am the Third Captain! Liang Yi!"

Liang Yi's voice carried anger.

"Captain..."

The black-robed man over there had just begun to react when a ghost that appeared pierced through his heart.

Seeing this, Xu Mu shook his head slightly.

Truly worthy of being an ancient ruin. The level of cruelty far surpassed the previous one.

He immediately jogged over and took off this person's wristband as well.

In a short time, he already had three on him. Adding Miao He and Chen Xuan's, there were still four left before he could leave the formation.

"Now you recognize me?"

Liang Yi was moving closer to Xu Mu's location.

"Stop impersonating my captain! Someone else just impersonated the captain too, even called my name. Fake! It's all fake!"

Xu Mu stood up at this moment and shouted towards Liang Yi.

"You still don't believe me?"

Liang Yi frowned. Because all the voices were identical, she didn't know it was Xu Mu speaking now.

"This formation only affects the eyes, it can't alter a person's physical form. If you are really my captain, let me feel your earring."

Xu Mu said calmly.

He intended to teach this woman a small lesson.

Hearing this, Liang Yi nodded to herself. It seemed this person was indeed one of their own.

She knew her earring was a red sword tassel.

"Alright, come here."

Liang Yi said.

Xu Mu slowly approached Liang Yi. When they were face to face, they could roughly see each other's outlines.

Both were in fierce ghost forms, so Liang Yi couldn't discern Xu Mu's true identity.

"Go ahead."

Liang Yi said to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu raised his hands and suddenly gave Liang Yi a two-handed dribble.

"As expected of my captain, quite substantial."

Liang Yi's pretty face visibly filled with murderous intent. "You're looking for death!"

Boom!

The Qi around her body erupted all at once, the terrifying force making her hair fly wildly.

Xu Mu immediately retreated swiftly, giving a firm twist before leaving.

Whoosh!

Liang Yi charged towards Xu Mu's direction, her speed reaching the extreme.

Through his perception, Xu Mu detected a fierce ghost appearing dozens of meters to the left.

He immediately ran towards the left, leading Liang Yi over.

Seeing it was about right, Xu Mu quickly jumped onto a nearby building, slowed his breathing, and remained completely still.

Liang Yi, who had caught up, relying on the light points emitted from her body, spotted the fierce ghost over there and instantly rushed forward.

Crack!

She tore off the fierce ghost's head with one hand.

Even after tearing off the head, her anger wasn't quenched. She then stomped her foot on the fierce ghost's little brother.

Crunch!

With a loud sound, the fierce ghost slowly dissipated into black smoke.

Liang Yi calmed her breathing, the anger in her heart gradually subsiding.

Xu Mu quietly walked over again, arriving behind Liang Yi. "My captain!"

He suddenly grabbed the peaches with both hands.
