Chapter 400: Chapter 317: Not a Sure Win_1

The entity swiftly lunged at Zheng Yichen, his fishing rod coated with a layer of black material. The black spear stabbed into the twisted face, which howled and shrank rapidly. A fine thread of heat broke free from the face and wrapped around Zheng Yichen.

After the twisted human face had completely vanished, Zheng Yichen twirled the black spear in his hand, "I think I’ve been marked?"

He examined his own body, and after that tiny heat source wrapped around him, it disappeared without a trace, as if it had merged into him.

"...No, that marking power was too weak, it was dispersed before it even touched your body," Eileena, holding the fully ignited Skeleton head, said to Zheng Yichen.

That kind of power was invisible to ordinary people, but she, as a witch adept in necromantic skill, could see it very clearly. Additionally, the Skeleton head in her hand had gathered a significant amount of ’power,’ which notably enhanced her own strength and allowed her to perceive even more details.

What she saw was the layer of aura surrounding Zheng Yichen evaporating the malicious power before it could take effect.

If that layer had not evaporated the malign power, it indeed would have been troublesome afterward. But since the power hadn’t even taken effect and was still in its raw material state when it was neutralized, even the most malevolent force was of no avail.

"That gave me a scare...wait, should I have deliberately taken that hit?" After dissipating the black spear, Zheng Yichen slipped the fishing rod to his waist. He intended to deal with this mental parasite monster, and since the creature wanted to leave him a mark, he thought he should have let it, to later locate its host.

Eileena shook her head, "I don’t think that’s a good idea. The adversary is very cunning; as soon as it realizes certain things can’t be done, it will cut off the connection immediately. That kind of mark is probably some sort of curse."

"Aren’t you also skilled in that?"

"But this evil force is more powerful than I am... If only I could gain its knowledge."

Seeing Eileena’s somewhat longing expression, Zheng Yichen immediately said, "Let’s handle other issues first; there’s plenty more of that ’Evil Spirit power’ for you to extract."

He could see through thermal vision that there were still some remnants of heat sources in the distance.

Eileena raised the Skeleton head in her hand, and those lingering ’heat sources’ started converging towards them. Zheng Yichen, meanwhile, stabbed his fishing rod into the ground. The Hellfire burning on the ground began to gather toward them and then vanished without a trace, leaving Zheng Yichen with some regret.

The Hellfire that had been re-gathered couldn’t be converted and stored like the Blood Combustion Transform to Origin; even if he collected it with the fishing rod, it only rendered it harmless. It couldn’t be completely transformed and recovered, only eliminated. This caused Zheng Yichen to conjure new ideas for enhancing his fishing rod.

He thought of finding a type of high-quality storage material that would allow him to enhance his fishing rod so that in the future the weapon could store the unleashed Hellfire and release it at crucial moments, thereby saving him a significant amount of Life Force.

If he could find a material that also converted special powers, that would be even better.

After they had cleaned up the site, other areas had been nearly dealt with too. Occasionally, a few gunshots could still be heard, but there was no more significant turmoil. Ahn Longling was directing the armed personnel on the scene; the battle was not yet over.

"Why don’t you rest a bit?"

"Are there any other issues?" Zheng Yichen immediately asked.

Ahn Longling held a tablet computer, calling up the relevant data, "Take a look at this first, the matter this time is no small affair."

After she spoke, her gaze lingered momentarily on the skull held by Eileena, which burned with a strange, blood-colored flame, as captivating as a special effect. Eileena reached out and touched the skull, causing the flames to slowly recede, but inside the skull, intense flames still surged.

The tablet computer in Zheng Yichen’s hands displayed incidents occurring elsewhere; North Lake was a trap, but that mental parasite monster was not only active in this one place. The main focus was here, but after encountering an unexpected event in this location, it utilized forces from other places.

Once Zheng Yichen had read enough, Ahn Longling said, "Hazy City’s officials have granted us significant operational authority this time, with the requirement being to dispose of this creature as quickly as possible! Of course, if we could capture it alive, that would be even better."

Zheng Yichen raised an eyebrow, "Capture it alive?"

"They say they want to thoroughly research it, to avoid similar enemies in the future, but actually..." Ahn Longling trailed off, not continuing. The creature had used forces from other areas after its plans had failed, and some places were prepared and resisted the first wave of the assault.

But some were caught off guard, allowing the creature to steal more weapons. Although Ahn Longling did not understand why the creature had suddenly become so ’impulsive,’ the influence it demonstrated had already instilled a sense of acute crisis in many.

In just a few days, thousands had been affected, and that was a conservative estimate.

"The Ahn family also wants to capture it alive."

"You all seem to have very uniform ideas!"

Ahn Longling smiled without saying much more. If the Ahn family wished to develop further, they needed more knowledge, and this phenomenon was clearly special, not just an ordinary person, and wielded some unique knowledge.

Members of the Ahn family had studied that evil ritual, though not locals, but otherworldly visitors. Over the years, the Ahn family had absorbed many such people; some had joined the hunter’s group, some served in domestic combat units, and others went directly to the Ahn family headquarters.

The Ahn family had been studying knowledge from the alien world, and although they had not seen ceremonies like the Evil ritual before and lacked a witch like Eileena, with time, they could still figure something out. These evil rituals were related to the transformation of life forms...

Moreover, when changing life forms, there was enough controllability in terms of alienation, with a chance to ensure whether the outcome was an abnormal transformation or a mutation. As for how high this probability was, that could only be determined after obtaining complete related knowledge.

But a stable abnormal transformation meant they could easily enhance the overall combat power on their side, and changing life forms touched upon the elevation of the lifeform level, thus, even though it was somewhat evil, it was something the Ahn family desired.

With such needs from the family, as the person in charge of this operation, Ahn Longling’s job was to complete this task as well as possible.

Zheng Yichen asked an extra question, "Must we capture it alive?"

"The Ahn family does not have this strict requirement, but if it is possible to catch it alive, we should try," Ahn Longling explained the stance of the Ahn family. They wanted it, but it was not a must-have at all costs. If trying to capture it alive meant incurring too great a sacrifice, then it was not worthwhile. Anija had its roots in Hazy City, and the uniqueness of Hazy City provided them with too many options.
