Chapter 149: Undertaker Ghost

The limbless Tanuki Power was still sliding on the ground, with flickering specks of fire in the darkness.

The next moment.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

One after another, small missiles flew in, hitting Tanuki Power and exploding into several fireballs.

The Tanuki Power is surprisingly weak, as the missiles exploded, the body was completely shattered, and fiery fragments scattered in all directions.

Inside, there were many strange beings with deformed bodies.

They howled in the flames, slowly dying.

The energy spectrum signal of Tanuki Power disappeared.

Luo Yan then heard a deep, rumbling sound of footsteps approaching.

A moment later.

A mecha emerged from behind the building to the left of the ‘White Dragon’.

This mecha had a slender design, resembling a woman.

It was painted in red with white patterns, and had two armor plates on its back that looked like insect wings, their purpose unknown.

The red robot took two steps forward and a window popped up on Luo Yan’s control panel.

‘Red Moth’ robot invites you to join a communication group, do you accept?

After Luo Yan accepted, an image appeared in the window showing the pilot of the ‘Red Moth’ robot on the screen.

To Luo Yan’s surprise, it was his classmate Lin Wei.

Luo Yan was a bit surprised, "How come you are here? Your name is not on the list for the mission."

Lin Wei calmly replied, "I am here as a scholar, participating in this operation, that’s why my name is not on the mission list."

Scholar…

Luo Yan remembered that Lin Wei was studying the pictograms of the ‘Return Ruins’.

She had left the academy for some time not long ago.

Go to the town to help decode some inscriptions found in ‘Return Ruins’.

"Try not to get close to the giant beasts here," Lin Wei said again.

Luo Yan looked at her with a questioning gaze.

Lin Wei sent over a picture.

Luo Yan received it, and another screen appeared by the window.

On the screen were those ‘people’ that Luo Yan had discovered before, who looked like humans but without moisture in their bodies and distorted limbs.

"Undertaker Ghosts."

"You can think of them as ‘cells’ inside the ‘Death Threshold Evil’s’ body."

"These things will parasitize on giant beasts that have been preyed on by the ‘Death Threshold Evil’ but not fully digested."

"Then control the giant beast to attack the intruders."

"If you attack the giant beast recklessly and get too close, there is a chance of being possessed by the Undertaker Ghost."

"So, the safest way is to use long-distance attacks to deal with the giant beast."

Lin Wei seemed to know a lot about the ‘Death Threshold Evil’, even though she didn’t know everything about it, she understood more about the ‘Death Threshold Evil’ than Luo Yan did.

Curiously, Luo Yan asked, "How do you know so much about it?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Wei said, "Dr. Jia Miao was the one who deciphered the ‘Three Evils Book’."

"She was my mentor in deciphering texts in the Return Ruins, and when she deciphered the ‘Three Evils Book’, I assisted her."

Luo Yan finally understood.

Looking around, Luo Yan asked, "So, are we inside the ‘Death Threshold Evil’ now?"

"What is it after all, is it a living creature?"

Lin Wei said solemnly, "It is not entirely a living creature, it can be said that it possesses some characteristics of living beings."

"Our understanding of ‘Disaster Evil’ is limited to the ‘Three Evils Book’. According to the description in it, ‘Disaster Evil’ is something generated based on the underlying rules of the ‘Yanfu Space’."

"They have some characteristics of living beings, but they are different from creatures like giant beasts."

"In the ‘Three Evils Book’, ‘Disaster Evil’ and some other things are referred to as ‘monsters’."

"Monsters?" Luo Yan whispered, "Who defined that?"

"Who wrote the inscriptions and scriptures in the ‘Three Evils Book’ and even ‘Return Ruins’?"

Lin Wei didn’t respond, but said, "The most important thing now is to destroy the ‘Death Threshold Evil’ and prevent it from continuing to grow."

"According to the original plan, blast open the chrysalis, enter the body of the ‘Death Threshold Evil’, find the ‘Weak Point’ and destroy it, then the ‘Death Threshold Evil’ will disintegrate on its own."

"Unexpectedly, after the embryonic sac burst, it stimulated the ‘Death Threshold Evil’, capturing all targets marked as ‘threats’ inside it."

"This is the importance of ‘experience’."

Luo Yan asked, "What is a ‘Weak Point’?"

"It’s the gathering place of malevolent energy, mentioned in the ‘Three Evils Book’."

Lin Wei calmly said, "Death Threshold, Sackcloth, and Diaoke all have their Weak Points."

"When the Weak Point is broken, the malevolent energy dissolves on its own."

"I think it’s something similar to a Giant Beast Core."

Luo Yan pressed further, "How do we find the ‘Weak Point’?"

Lin Wei answered, "Although the three malevolent beings are ‘monstrous’, they all appear in human form."

"’Weak Point’ is located behind them, between the second and third lumbar vertebrae."

"It would be easier to locate from the outside."

"But now we are inside its body…"

At that moment, there were soft rustling sounds outside the mecha.

Luo Yan looked out through the panoramic window and saw figures emerging from the fleshy buildings on both sides.

Undertaker Ghosts crawled out one by one.

These things were all dry, with distorted limbs and only a single orifice on their faces.

They appeared to be of both genders, different ages.

Their clothing varied as well.

Suddenly, the creatures poured out like a swarm of ants or a tide of insects.

Luo Yan got goosebumps.

"Hurry!"

"There are too many Undertaker Ghosts, and they regenerate quickly after being killed."

"They are not worth fighting."

Next to the ‘White Dragon,’ the mecha ‘Red Moth’ quickly turned and ran.

This mecha appeared much lighter than the ‘White Dragon,’ but when it stepped down, the soft ground still trembled.

Luo Yan didn’t dare to be brave, controlling the ‘White Dragon’ and following behind the ‘Red Moth.’

Not long after.

A ‘Xingxing’ charged out from the darkness ahead.

It was a giant beast that looked like a big gorilla.

Just like the Tanuki Power from before.

The body was in a decayed state, showing signs of rot.

Some parts even revealed white bones.

There were blister-like things hanging on the body, each containing an Undertaker Ghost inside.

With the previous experience.

This time, Luo Yan lifted the Divine Power Rifle without Lin Wei’s reminder and fired at the giant beast’s head.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The powerful gunshots rang out in the air.

The bullets rubbed against the air, creating sparks, dragging a trail of fire inside the body of ‘Death Threshold Evil’, hitting Xingxing’s head.

Since these giant beasts had been corroded by ‘Death Threshold Evil’ once, their bodies were weak, and even the Divine Power Rifle could easily pierce through them.

As the giant beast charged forward, its head was shot into a hornet’s nest by bullet after bullet, finally exploding and falling to the ground.

The ‘White Dragon’ and ‘Red Moth’ mechas bypassed the beast’s corpse and left swiftly.

A moment later.

Countless Undertaker Ghosts surged like a tide, marching like ants over the corpse of the giant beast.

Once these Undertaker Ghosts departed, the giant beast was reduced to a skeleton.
