Across from them, at the base of the opposite wall, sat a giant with insect-like features, its head adorned with huge, ferocious black horns, and beetle-like wings spread out from its back.
Its chest had been blown open, but thankfully, it wasn't reduced to bits like a typical professional would have been.
“Wasn't it smaller when we were looking at it just now?” Wu Heng asked, puzzled.
In the surveillance, it hadn't appeared so large.
Looking at it now, it was at least three meters tall, and its build was as exaggeratedly muscular as a Beastman.
“It was of a normal size initially and grew bigger when it broke the chains,” Glenda said.
“It seems to be an evolved trait,” Wu Heng noted.
“Being able to change size can be quite convenient. Too large isn't always better,” Glenda raised an eyebrow.
“There are children present, what are you talking about!” Wu Heng gave Glenda a stern look.
Glenda chuckled, then asked, “Shall we transform it now? See what abilities it has.”
Wu Heng turned to Xiao Xiao, “Xiao Xiao, where is the jade stone Lilith gave you?”
“It's on the desk.”
“May I use it?”
“Sure, Uncle, feel free to use it, just don't break it,” Xiao Xiao said generously.
Glenda and Bella exchanged puzzled looks.
Xiao Xiao relayed to them what Lilith said yesterday about the jade stone preventing the skeleton from degrading, and Glenda and Bella finally understood.
Normally speaking, when Wu Heng transforms a corpse higher than his own level, the summoned creature risks degradation.
So, transforming a Level 20 from Level 19 might result in the skeleton being reduced to Level 19.
It seemed Wu Heng remembered this and had asked Lilith.
Lilith managed the association's intelligence, so this method was certainly reliable.
Wu Heng called the third soul back and left the prison through a side door, heading back to Gold and Silver Island to fetch the jade stone.
Lundham City, Alliance Hall.
City Lord's Restroom.
Wen Mansha, in a flowing red gown, walked in, about to sit on the sofa.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three sounds of arrows whistling through the air.
Crosbow arrows ripped through the air, screeching sharply.
Wen Mansha's eyes widened, and before she could react, the arrows struck her chest, followed by a figure who dashed out from the shadows, a short sword piercing through her torso.
Pressing Wen Mansha backward.
The assassin, holding Wen Mansha's mouth shut, sneered, “City Lord, don't blame me, I too wanted to be the boss, don't blame me.”
While saying this, he furrowed his brows.
Looking down, he saw Wen Mansha transformed into a Skeleton Ghost Hag with a hunched body.
The hollow eye sockets glittered with fire, and the dagger stuck at her chest.
“Grayson, not a low level, huh.”
A chilly voice sounded, and outside the room, Wen Mansha in the same red dress stood by the door with a skeleton.
The assassin's gaze sharpened, and he sprinted toward the window.
“Kill him, but don't damage the head,” Wen Mansha commanded again.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Gunshots sounded, and blood splattered from the assassin, who stumbled and fell to the ground.
“City Lord, don't kill me, I'll tell you who sent me.”
“I was wrong, give me another chance, I really was.”
“City Lord, please.”
The assassin moved backward while pleading loudly.
The fear of death filled his eyes.
Wen Mansha softly said, “We've both been in gangs, you understand the risks and rewards well. You failed, be prepared to face the consequences.”
“No, I'll tell you who …”
Bang!
A gunshot, and a bullet pierced his forehead.
Wen Mansha glanced at the now fully dead body and then instructed, “Search the room.”
The skeleton searched inside the room.
Then, it dragged out a woman from behind a partition.
Wen Mansha's eyebrows instantly furrowed, and she coldly commanded, “Lift your head.”
The woman slightly raised her head, her face filled with fear, but her features and appearance were extremely similar to Wen Mansha's, dressed in a red gown identical to what she wore today.
Wen Mansha's eyes narrowed, immediately understanding today's plot.
To kill her in the lounge and then have this woman take her place as the City Lord.
Such a cliched trick.
“Who are you?” Wen Mansha asked.
But the next second, the woman's eyes suddenly glazed over, and she collapsed backward.
Dead!
Slavery Contract, the soul erased.
How cruel.
Wen Mansha softly ordered, “Roll up the bodies.”
The skeleton wrapped the two bodies together with a carpet from the floor.
Wen Mansha stored them in her Space Ring.
Once everything was dealt with, Wen Mansha straightened her dress and walked out.
By the staircase, two commanders and a guard stood by the stairwell.
“Sister-in-law, are you all right?”
As she walked, Wen Mansha responded, “I'm fine. Have the Beastman tribe chiefs arrived?”
“They have, just waiting for you.”
“Alright, let's go.”
The group headed towards the meeting room.
Zombie World, prison.
Wu Heng held a goose egg-sized Companion Yin Jade, his gaze fixed on the corpse on the ground.
“Uncle, what are you waiting for?” Xiao Xiao, noticing his hesitation, asked curiously.
“Just preparing,” Wu Heng replied.
Lilith had told him that using the Yin Jade would amplify his magic, but what he said was about transforming an 18-level corpse at Level 16.
Level 20 reached the hero tier, and he was uncertain if the effect could be achieved.
He murmured a few incantations.
Directly through the stone in his hand, he released the [Bone Command Technique].
Dense Necromantic Power flowed through the stone toward the corpse on the ground.
Slowly, the flesh began to fall off, gradually transforming into a grotesquely-shaped, stag-beetle-like giant skeleton.
