Chapter 389: Subdue Birch

The person running at the very front in the ghost lair had golden hair.

In an instant, he and Birch’s positions swapped. The man was about to escape, he returned to the interior of the ghost lair.

“No! Elder, you lied to me!”

Looking at the Golden Scarecrow, the golden-haired man’s legs and stomach kept trembling. His heart was filled with extreme hatred.

His life force had been taken away by that hateful old man just like that!

You were supposed to let us leave first, but in the end, you betrayed your subordinates and escaped by yourself.

Rattle!

“I can’t bear to kill you!”

No matter what, the golden-haired man was a B+ rank extraordinary ability user. He could be considered a little fat sheep. Keeping him alive was much better than killing him.

Two scarecrows, one black and one green, entered the blond man’s body. In the blink of an eye, the blond man completed his transformation.

Seeing that the other temple members were fighting with the ghosts, he immediately went up to persuade them.

“The scarecrow king doesn’t kill captives. If you surrender, he wont kill you!”

The temple members, who were already tense, saw that the blond man was alive and well. They did not want to struggle anymore.

No one wanted to die if they could live. They put down their weapons one after another.

Rattle!

“A wise choice!”

Even though Birch had changed his position, he was still in the ghost lair. This place was full of ghost strange creatures.

His movement speed was still very slow. The ghost formed a battle formation and attacked him again and again.

Birch’s speed was infinitely slowed down. Usually, he had just defeated one battle formation when another battle formation attacked him.

“Hehe, you want to run? Have you asked me, the king of chilly wind?” At this moment, the king of chilly wind had already been strengthened, and he had temporarily entered the S rank. He felt that his entire body had undergone a qualitative change.

In the past, he still needed to use the weapon in his hand as a support to split open the space in order to teleport. Now, he did not need any support at all. With a thought, he could enter the space if he wanted to.

In the space tunnel, he turned into a gust of wind and arrived beside Birch in two seconds.

Birch, who was fighting with the ghosts, sensed the abnormal space around him and wanted to dodge.

However, it was too late. The king of chilly wind instantly appeared behind him and stabbed at Birch with the longsword in his hand.

Even with the protection of the magic shield, Birch was still heavily injured.

The power of the king of chilly wind was too great, and it sent Birch flying. The powerful force made him spit out blood.

However, it was not the end. The countless attacks from the ghosts that formed the battle formation all hit Birch. His dark blue magic shield shook non-stop and gradually turned light blue.

His magic power was gradually exhausted. Without magic power, his magic shield could not continue.

The battle formation formed by the ghosts did not deal much damage to Birch. However, he could not withstand the concentrated attacks.

In addition, the king of the chilly wind was eyeing him from the side. Soon, he was defeated. He could not run or fight. Birch was in an awkward situation.

Rattle!

“Old Man, do you want to live or die?”

Flanders quickly led his men and surrounded Birch. Flanders really did not want to kill this old man.

If he could surrender, Flanders did not mind subduing him.

Hearing the scarecrow’s words, Birch’s eyes rolled. He had a plan in mind.

The childish scarecrow actually wanted to subdue an S rank powerhouse. He might as well feign civility with him first.

Birch quickly made a decision in his heart. He said to the scarecrow with a smile, “if sir scarecrow is willing to give me a way out, I surrender!”

Rattle!

“You are indeed a shrewd old man. That’s right. If you surrender, you don’t have to die!”

The ghost king, the zombie king, the king of chilly wind, and the shadow king surrounded Birch, preventing him from moving.

“What do you want to do, scarecrow? I’ve already surrendered. Didn’t you say that if I surrender, you won’t kill me?”

Birch looked at Flanders nervously. He tried, but he was restrained tightly. He could not resist four experts of the same level at all.

Rattle!

“What do you think I want to do? I asked you to surrender, and you just surrendered. Who knows if it’s a trick or not?”

“Shut his mouth!”

Flanders did not want to listen to what Beecher said anymore. Soon, Birch’s mouth was covered by a piece of bone by the zombie king.

He could only groan. He could not say a word. No matter how powerful he was, he could not use his powers anymore.

Flanders had temporarily entered S rank. He wanted to try and see if the Black Scarecrow could control Birch.

“Mmmmmm!” Birch watched helplessly as the Black Scarecrow entered his body. He was extremely terrified!

[Fear Points +101,000]

Rattle!

“Wonderful fear!”

After Flanders absorbed Birch’s fear, his entire body felt comfortable.

“Right! Continue to fear! That’s it! Don’t stop!”

Birch regretted it. He regretted trusting the scarecrow so easily. Right now, his heart was filled with regret, fear, and anger!

All sorts of emotions were mixed together, giving Flanders a few more waves of fear points.

Flanders felt that this old man, Birch, was so cute. His fear points were so different.

He was becoming more and more reluctant to kill this old man. It would be better if he kept on giving himself fear points.

The Black Scarecrow swam around Birch’s body. The Black Scarecrow quickly approached Birch’s heart.

Even if Flanders had temporarily upgraded to S rank, he was still an S rank existence. As long as they were on the same level, Flanders’s Black Scarecrow would be able to control the other party, but it would only take some time.

One Black Scarecrow entered Birch’s heart. Two Black Scarecrows, three Black Scarecrows..

Finally, more than thirty Black Scarecrows entered. Only then did Flanders manage to control Birch.

Flanders could sense that Birch could expel the Black Scarecrow from his heart at any time.

Perhaps after Flanders’s temporary level-up status disappeared, Birch would be able to get rid of the Black Scarecrow in his heart.

Flanders had no way to deal with this for the time being. He would just make do with it for now.

He still had a lot of questions to ask Birch. He was filled with questions about the entire ghost lair. As the boss of the mystical faction, the hidden elder of the Salko Temple knew a lot more than he did.

This was a good opportunity to learn.

Flanders was also eager to improve. If he could improve, he would be very happy.

“Hehehe!”

“Let him go. For the time being, he is under my control!”

Flanders waved his hand, and the four kings of the ghost strange creatures let Birch go.

“Let’s go inside the altar and have a look. There are many questions that I don’t know and need your answers.”
