Chapter 707 Fang Yu’s Surprise!
The captain of the team at that time, Captain Croix, whom Violet still pays respects to every year, immediately sent a distress signal to the guild headquarters.
However, from the moment the wraiths appeared, death had already descended.
Facing the wraiths, the so-called guild elites had absolutely no power to fight back!
And the two soul wraiths didn’t actually do much.
They just stood in place, opening their abdomens that resembled black holes!
Then, from their abdomens came a suction force as powerful as a hurricane!
Many people in the team couldn’t resist and were forcibly pulled toward their abdomens.
“Splat!”
Those sucked into the abdomens made clear crushing sounds, followed by sprays of fresh blood.
Violet stood at the back of the team, tightly hugging a tree trunk, barely avoiding being sucked in.
But she could see, one team member after another, letting out shrill screams, then being sucked into the wraiths’ abdomens with a ‘splat’ sound, blood splattering, and screams abruptly stopping.
This scene became the source of her nightmares.
“Run!”
At that moment, Croix noticed Violet and shouted.
Normally, Croix was very kind to Violet, like a brother, taking care of her in every aspect.
And in this dangerous situation, his first thought was still of Violet.
Gritting his teeth, he rushed toward Violet.
Then, he grabbed Violet’s arm and ran outward with all his might.
Croix was the strongest person in the guild; only he could resist those two powerful suction forces with pure physical strength.
In this way, Croix forcibly carried Violet, running a distance of twenty to thirty meters.
But by this time, most of the team members behind them had already been slaughtered by the two wraiths.
One of the wraiths noticed Croix and Violet escaping.
But seemingly already full, it didn’t choose to pursue, instead opening its pitch-black mouth and spitting out a black mass.
Violet happened to look back and saw this.
But the speed of this black mass was far greater than Croix and Violet’s running speed.
“Splat!”
Two seconds later, the black mass hit the back of Croix’s head.
In an instant, Croix’s body immediately became rigid.
Violet turned around and saw Croix’s entire head beginning to melt… like ice cream in heat, rapidly melting.
At that moment, Violet saw Croix’s terrified eyes and his face, melted to only half.
The immense fear almost made Violet faint.
But survival instinct made her keep running forward, gritting her teeth and running forward!
After running for who knows how long, when she looked back again, she was already outside the forest.
This memory, even after many years, still makes Violet’s heart race when recalled.
Even now, she often wakes up in the middle of the night because of this nightmare.
The tragedy in the forest caused a tremendous shock at the time.
Various forces in the Western Region united again and carried out an extermination of the Wraith Clan throughout the entire Western Region.
Since that extermination, Violet never saw or heard news of the Wraith Clan again.
And in the entire Western Region, although not officially announced, everyone believed in their hearts that the Wraith Clan had been extinct and would never appear again.
Violet never expected that in such a situation today, she would see the figure of the Wraith Clan again!
This not only stirred up her memories but also exposed her most vulnerable side to others.
After recounting this memory, Violet realized she had said too much and her expression turned cold.
“Can you confirm that the figure in the recording is from the Wraith Clan?” Fang Yu asked.
Violet tensed her face and answered coldly, “Not certain.”
“According to your description, wraiths look like ghosts and demons… but the figure beside Gary in the recording looks humanoid, just a bit larger in size,” Fang Yu said.
“Bang!”
Violet suddenly slammed the keyboard on the table, stood up, and said coldly, “I trust my own judgment. As for what you think, it’s none of my business.”
“Don’t rush, let’s continue watching. Let’s assume this figure is a wraith… and see how it absorbed all eight spirit veins simultaneously,” Fang Yu said. “I absolutely don’t believe that such a wraith could absorb so much high-intensity spiritual energy at once!”
Violet gave Fang Yu a cold look and continued to play the surveillance recording.
In the footage, Gary and the figure suspected to be a wraith walked forward, and anyone in their path was sucked in and slaughtered.
Soon, they arrived at the eight spirit veins.
At this point, the eight spirit veins in the recording were still emitting intense blue light.
Fang Yu knew clearly that this meant the spirit veins were still full of spiritual energy!
“Let me see how you did it…” Fang Yu narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the display.
In the footage, Gary said something to the figure beside him, then retreated more than thirty meters away.
The figure remained standing in place.
Since it had its back to the surveillance camera, it was unclear what it was doing.
But in the next second, the content of the footage made Fang Yu’s expression change.
The openings at the heads of all eight spirit veins were simultaneously opened!
Then, the high-intensity spiritual energy bursting from the spirit veins all surged toward the figure’s abdomen!
Like tributaries flowing into a great river.
The high-intensity spiritual energy from those eight spirit veins was absorbed into the figure’s body!
“This…”
Fang Yu’s eyes widened in extreme surprise.
In his understanding, no such creature existed in the world.
But the facts before his eyes told him that his previous thoughts were wrong.
The world is vast, with all kinds of wonders.
Even though Fang Yu had lived for nearly five thousand years, he couldn’t know everything.
For instance, this suspected wraith before him broke Fang Yu’s conception by absorbing all the spiritual energy from eight spirit veins in just a few minutes!
For humans, even a peak Tribulation Realm master couldn’t achieve this!
“What is this thing’s body made of? How can it contain such a large amount of spiritual energy? Eight entire spirit veins!” Fang Yu was both shocked and distressed.
In his view, absorbing spirit veins in this way was like swallowing without chewing.
The high-intensity spiritual energy in spirit veins needed to be slowly refined to transform into spiritual energy that could truly enhance cultivation.
And the creature in the footage, absorbing eight spirit veins in just a few minutes…
Wasteful! It was simply wasteful!
“Even if it can absorb it into its body, it definitely can’t refine it in a short time! This can be guaranteed one hundred percent!” Fang Yu thought.
Violet pressed fast-forward, and on the display, the eight spirit veins were consumed at a visibly rapid rate.
From initially emitting brilliant blue light, to later dimming, until completely disappearing…
This process took a total of five minutes and forty-two seconds.
After absorbing all eight spirit veins, the figure left this place together with Gary.
After watching the recording, Violet turned and walked out.
“Where are you going?” Fang Yu asked.
“Back to base, to collect intelligence,” Violet said coldly, not stopping.
“Don’t you want the mark on you removed?” Fang Yu asked.
Hearing this, Violet stopped, turned around, and looked at Fang Yu.
She tucked her purple hair on her forehead behind her ear, looking directly at Fang Yu without speaking.
“To be honest, I’m still reluctant to remove it for you. I believe this place is the source of Gary’s power core, but the problem is… after arriving, there’s nothing left,” Fang Yu said, spreading his hands.
Violet’s face turned icy as she turned around and walked out again.
“But the spirit veins being absorbed by someone else first isn’t your fault…” Fang Yu said.
Violet stopped again, but this time, she didn’t look back.
She gritted her teeth, suppressing the anger in her heart.
If Fang Yu toyed with her again, she would attack regardless of consequences, using all her strength to vent the fury in her heart!
“You must be very angry now, thinking I’m toying with you, but there’s also a glimmer of hope in your heart…” Fang Yu said.
“Enough!” Violet turned around, her aura surging, killing intent evident.
“Actually, I’ve already removed the mark on you,” Fang Yu said unhurriedly.
Violet was stunned and immediately looked inward to check herself.
