Chapter 92: Chapter 72: Collecting Spirits!

Rustle... Rustle...

The human officer walked slowly along the mountain road.

Suddenly.

He stopped, gently opening his mouth.

A slender, semi-transparent line emerged from the Void, one end connected to his mouth, the other stretching to the end of the road.

The officer held his mouth open, waiting for a moment.

A semi-transparent human-shaped being flew from the distance at high speed, shrinking into a ball in front of the officer and was swallowed by him in one gulp.

"Please, don’t... eat me..."

Sun’s desperate cry emanated from the officer’s mouth.

The officer was expressionless, his throat moved slightly.

Sun’s voice stopped abruptly.

A gust of wind blew.

The officer stood still, silently absorbing all of Sun’s memories.

Shortly after.

A scene quietly emerged.

Wu Xiaode transformed into a bird, instantly flying into the depths of the tunnel.

In that instant, the officer’s lifeless eyes widened, and he let out a hoarse voice, "It’s a spirit... from the Death Realm..."

Before he could finish, his body began to move.

The officer started to run slowly.

His initial running gait was somewhat awkward, but after a while, his movements had become incredibly swift, almost surpassing human limits.

Whirr—

A cloud of dust rose on the mountain path.

The officer sped up, dashing towards the location of the cave.

...

"It’s among us."

With this statement, the image of the strange person became increasingly sinister and ominous.

Its most distinguishing feature was its mouth.

The long mouth was very much like that of a crocodile.

Yet overall, it bore the shape of a human, walking upright, trailing a tail behind, almost as if a lizard had taken human form.

This monster had killed Sun.

In an incomprehensible manner, it had disguised itself as Sun, now driving the train and taking the entire team deeper underground.

No matter what its intent, they couldn’t wait any longer!

Wu Xiaode made up his mind, quickly got up, walked over to the team leader, and sat down next to her, saying,

"Team Leader, do you have any snacks?"

"Here, take this chocolate."

The team leader passed a piece of chocolate without even looking up.

While reaching out to take the chocolate, Wu Xiaode swiftly wrote something on the team leader’s hand.

—Diary.

As he wrote the first character, the team leader’s eyes widened a bit.

Not until he had written the second character did she relax.

Diary what?

—So it’s the diary!

"Team Leader, I’m carrying so much stuff in my rucksack, why not just throw away those scientists’ diaries," he suggested.

"Don’t throw them away, I’ll take another look," the team leader said.

She subtly drew a question mark on the table.

"You still want to look at them? Alright."

Wu Xiaode then took out several diaries, spread them on the table, and also took out the photo.

"I need a photo too, to show some experts when I return."

He took out his phone, snapped a few photos of the diaries, then quickly opened his notes app and wrote a line of small print:

"Name order, last page, combine strokes."

"Team Leader, how’s the photo I took?" he handed over his phone.

"These few are quite good," the team leader glanced at the line of small print and nodded.

That should do it.

She must have understood.

Wu Xiaode took back his phone, deleted the note content, unwrapped the chocolate, and began eating voraciously.

The team leader then lowered her head, seriously studying the items.

She first looked at the line of words on the photo, then flipped through the five diaries, eyes closed as if pondering something.

Shortly after.

She opened her eyes and continued flipping through the books, casually asking,

"There’s a lot of good stuff in my rucksack, no less than six kinds, could you help me find a piece of chocolate?"

—There are six people here, can you find it?

"Sure," Wu Xiaode replied.

—I can find it.

"Then go into the rucksack and get me a piece of chocolate, don’t touch anything else, it’s all girl stuff," the team leader said, supporting her cheek with her hand, without looking up from the pages.

—You find it, and I’ll take care of the rest.

"Okay," Wu Xiaode nodded.

He went to the other side of the carriage, pulled out the team leader’s rucksack, and unzipped it.

Inside the rucksack, there were not many other items—

It was filled with egg rolls, green dumplings, custard buns, mung bean cakes, osmanthus cakes, milk candies, chocolate, date walnuts, hawthorn rolls, red bean bread, potato chips, sunflower seeds, honey cakes, bagged nuts, pork floss buns, candy beans, lotus seed pastries, mooncakes...

All snacks!

Despite the bizarre and urgent situation, Wu Xiaode still spent a few seconds speechlessly bewildered.

How can a girl eat so much?

—It’s like you’re on a spring outing.

Wu Xiaode rummaged for a while, collecting quite a few tasty treats.

"Team Leader, you have so many snacks here, I’d like to get some for Sun and Ying too, is that alright?" he called out loudly.

——"I suspect it’s Sun or Ying. I’m heading up, do you permit it?"

"Sure," the captain said, turning the pages of the book.

Wu Xiaode smiled and then took some other food out of his marching bag.

"Captain, for you!"

He handed over the chocolate and gave snacks to the gunner and Xiao Baihong, one piece each, then strode toward the cockpit.

The gunner glanced at the captain, who remained serene and continued flipping through the book.

The gunner then tore open a packet and began to crack sunflower seeds.

However, he slightly shifted his position to be closer to the firearms laid out on the ground.

Xiao Baihong also gently tore open a bag of chips, grinning as he said, "I’m not particularly fond of tomato-flavored chips, but I suppose they’re edible."

His half-smiling face expressed an eagerness to watch the unfolding drama.

The exchange of hand movements between Wu Xiaode and the captain just now hadn’t escaped the two men.

They had long sensed something was amiss.

At this moment, they were preparing in secret.

Then they saw Wu Xiaode enter the cockpit, saying with a smile:

"Have something to eat to rejuvenate your spirits."

Ying and the Sun brothers sat in the cockpit, one examining the route map, the other fiddling with the train control buttons.

Wu Xiaode passed a slice of cake to Ying and handed a pack of dried fruits to Sun.

Ying immediately tore open the packaging and began eating.

Sun accepted the dried fruits and casually said:

"Thanks, Little Wu, why don’t you go rest a bit? We’ll be relying on you shortly when we arrive."

Wu Xiaode replied with a smile, "Sure, take care to rest as well, embrace the Ice Frost."

In an instant.

The Book of the Dead suddenly sprouted rows of combat prompt runes:

"You have spoken the spell ’Embrace the Ice Frost.’

’The Deep Cold Blessing of the bone dragon has been released!’"

"Any being below level 60 will be frozen by the chill from the Death Abyss."

"Duration 3 seconds."

A layer of white frost instantaneously covered Sun’s body surface.

He stiffened, unable to move at all.

The first second.

A flash of blade light, and both of Sun’s hands and feet were severed, rolling away into the corner.

The long knife was drawn back and rested at Sun’s throat.

The second second.

Ying’s complexion changed, and he was about to take action, but two hands pressed down on his shoulders, one from each side.

The gunner and Xiao Baihong!

"Don’t move!" the gunner shouted.

The moment Wu Xiaode moved, they had rushed in.

The third second.

The captain quietly appeared beside Wu Xiaode, slapped a yellow talisman onto Sun’s forehead, and exclaimed, "Heaven Thunder, Demonic Stabilization!"

A burst of roaming Thunder Radiance erupted from the yellow talisman, instantly turning into chains flickering with intense Thunder Light, binding Sun’s body.

Three seconds ended!

Sun let out a strange cry and burst into laughter:

"People from that world, you indeed are stronger than the waste here, but it’s too late, everything will be destroyed."

"Who exactly are you?" the captain asked in a deep voice.

Sun replied with a grin, "You will all be devoured by demons; it is an inevitability, this is the Eternal history."

Its head lolled to one side, motionless.

Only then did its appearance gradually change, morphing into a form none present had ever seen before.

——A long tail, a back covered in hard armor, a pair of vertical pupils, and the torso and limbs of a human.

It was that monster!

Xiao Baihong stepped forward to examine it and exclaimed in surprise, "It’s dead."

The group was somewhat bewildered.

Sun had actually been impersonated by a monster.

He was likely already dead.

——But what exactly was this monster?

The next instant.

A semi-transparent specter flew out from the body, floating in mid-air.

No one witnessed this spectacle.

Only Wu Xiaode saw it clearly.

——Because that specter was the monster’s Dead Soul!

The specter, almost as if taunting, circled around everyone and spoke in a deep voice, "We will meet again soon—I will personally come to witness your deaths."

Having said that, it immediately attempted to leave the place, heading toward the deep underground.

——It wanted to flee?

It couldn’t be allowed to escape!

In his mind, Wu Xiaode silently called out, "All Heroic Spirits dwelling upon the Battle Armor, stop it for me!"

Clang clang clang clang——

Something on him seemed to awaken.

The specter had barely flown a few meters when it sensed a pulling force, desperately struggling against it.

But it was in vain.

In the Void, one Heroic Spirit after another rapidly emerged, filling every corner and shouting in unison:

"By the power of this Battle Armor, capture!"

——This was Battle Armor co-forged by elves and spirits, capable of housing countless Dead Souls and Heroic Spirits.

It had already absorbed innumerable Heroic Spirits!

An invisible Power erupted from the Battle Armor, spreading in all directions, quickly enveloping the specter.

The specter was unable to flee.

It was abruptly pulled back, drawn into the Battle Armor, and vanished from sight.
