Chapter 398: Chapter 316: It’s More Formidable?_1

Under the bombardment of modern weapons, the Skeleton behemoth was blasted into smithereens, with ashes drifting everywhere. However, the situation was far from resolved; in fact, it started to worsen. Tourists in the vicinity who were not wearing protective suits began to show abnormalities: their bodies swelled rapidly, and their organs mutated into some kind of monsters that leapt out.

A portion of them was swiftly eradicated by armed personnel in protective gear, while another portion managed to turn the tables and fight back.

At this time, Ahn Longling popped a medicinal pill into her mouth, her expression turning cold, "Need this? A medicine that can solidify mental states."

"No need," Zheng Yichen shook his head. He was confident in his mental defense; after all, he had once eliminated a tricky jellyfish, which granted him a new soul trait. That new trait had prevented even the Supreme Demon from infiltrating his dreams, so here... there was no significant problem!

"If I use it, I may not be able to use necromantic skills," Eileena also refused the medicine offered by Ahn Longling.

The driver in the car immediately took the same medicinal pill after Ahn Longling had taken hers. There had been no need previously, but now, the situation was unresolved, and the effectiveness of the pill had already been confirmed by the armed personnel active outside, which was why they had resorted to using it.

As he opened the car door, Zheng Yichen immediately sensed an abnormal substance in the air outside, brought about by the ’heat sources’ swirling in the air. The source of these minute heat sources were the pulverized remains of the Skeleton behemoth. After being blown to bits, the heat within the bones hadn’t dissipated but had merged into the environment.

These tiny heat sources circled within the environment, covering a vast area. They seemed to be rising from underground... Underground?

With a flick of his fishing rod, Zheng Yichen upturned the ground, revealing blood-like strands beneath. These strands wriggled like living earthworms when Zheng Yichen lifted them.

"Was that behemoth a decoy to draw our attention?" Zheng Yichen muttered, tossing a clump of Hellfire without hesitation. The flames carried a scent of death and spread rapidly, igniting the blood-like strands underground. It was akin to lighting a firecracker’s fuse which needed a moment to burn.

The puppet master behind the scenes, realizing that their prepared trap had been exposed, immediately altered their tactics. A large-scale Evil ritual emerged from underground. Although a part of the ritual had been ignited, it still had its effect, causing unmutated ordinary people in the distance to abruptly mutate.

Their organs, eager to escape, burst out of them, and some Aberrant creatures charged towards the armed personnel. The weaker ones were shot down before they could get close, while the stronger ones charged through the bullets to engage at close quarters. Those who encountered the creatures at close range tried to fight back, but the mutated monsters simply detonated themselves.

Any armed personnel hit by the blast, whether dead or alive, began to undergo new mutations. Organs burst forth from their bodies, seizing their original hosts’ eyes, devouring their brains, taking up their weapons... Other organs outright attempted to seize the heavy weaponry.

Some of the organ monsters successfully reached the weapons, but they couldn’t operate them due to authentication failures. This advantage of technological weaponry now came into play; without passing authentication, they couldn’t truly leverage the heavy firepower against their former allies. While firearms were effective, other armored personnel had already begun to counterattack.

The effect of their firearms could not be said to be useless, only minuscule at best. There were no snipers among the organ monsters, while further away, real snipers lay in wait, ready to blow up any of the organ monsters on sight.

Eileena held a Skeleton head in her hands, which flared up with glaring flames that behaved like shifting eyeballs.

"Over there, that being has been trying to influence me in reverse," Eileena locked onto a direction with the assistance of the Skeleton head.

Ahn Longling spoke decisively, "I will arrange for support for you. Any abnormal beings that appear beside you will be immediately eliminated."

She had not considered taking prisoners; a mental parasite monster that also commanded some Evil ritual was too irrational to capture alive.

Zheng Yichen had lit up the enormous Evil ritual hidden within North Lake, but even before it was rendered completely ineffective, it still wielded sufficient influence over them.

Ahn Longling could feel her mentally solidified state dissolving due to the medication. Should it fully melt, she, too, might succumb to the Evil ritual’s influence and follow in the path of the mutated organs. However, she did not panic in this environment, and the other veteran armed personnel continued to execute their orders stable.

It would be a race to see whether the vast and Evil ritual would fail first or if they would succumb to it first.

"Good."

Zheng Yichen instantly scooped up Eileena and quickly moved toward the direction she had pointed out. His speed was so fast that initially, Eileena had to guide him, but soon Zheng Yichen learned to discern the direction by himself, watching the change in position of the flames in the Skeleton head’s eyes and immediately following suit.

Until the fire in the Skeleton head’s eyes steadfastly fixed ahead...
