I've Become the King of Villains in the Game

Chapter 370: Chapter 244: Polluted Creature? Just a New Employee! _2
 

Thud!!

A heavy attack smashed the ground, forming a large pit, and the loud noise echoed within the enclosed mine.

Chen Lun turned around and frowned at the sight of a dozen burning werewolf Lost Souls.

‘Even the Supernatural Flame can’t burn them to death… These contaminated creatures seem a bit tricky, far more formidable than the ordinary moonless villagers.’

He flicked the Silver Staff, morphing it into its Serpent Sword form.

‘Since that’s the case, I’ll just slash the souls directly!’

The next second.

Chen Lun flourished the sword, raising the Silver Sword aloft.

His gaze hardened.

‘Ultimate Sword… Youlan!’

Buzz buzz!

The entire blade of the sword then began to glow with a brilliant purple light, dazzling to behold.

With a stomp, Chen Lun burst forward, his Serpent Sword sweeping across in a horizontal arc.

Whoosh—

A purple ribbon of light, extending several meters, bent and slashed through, and suddenly three massive werewolf Lost Souls were cleaved in two, their movements instantly rigid as if some vital force within them had been severed.

Boom!

The ghostly blue werewolf Lost Souls suddenly burst apart, dissipating into a cloud of blue smoke.

[You have killed the contaminated creatures “Ghastly Moonless Village Lost Souls”! Gained 3900 Experience Points!]*3

Chen Lun jumped and soared in place.

Rumbling!

The remaining werewolf Lost Souls missed their target again, causing the entire mine to shake slightly.

The purple light slashed down fiercely, and with a swish, cleaved through the bodies of two more werewolf Lost Souls, slicing them in half.

The Serpent Sword, having executed the Ultimate Sword Youlan, acted like the reaper’s scythe, easily killing them.

Swoosh swoosh…!

Chen Lun hovered in mid-air, relentlessly slashing at the enemies below.

The advantage of a long reach, combined with deadly strikes, left the werewolf Lost Souls utterly defenseless.

Strokes of purple light, long and substantial, weaved and crisscrossed, instantly forming a brilliant web that enveloped the werewolf Lost Souls from above.

In just under ten seconds, they were all slashed to death.

Click.

Chen Lun sheathed his sword and landed.

He looked around and saw that apart from the sword marks he had made, there were no spoils of war left on the ground.

‘These Lost Souls seem to only provide some Experience Points… But the mine full of Dragon Sharpstone is the real spoils of war!’

Chen Lun was in high spirits.

He did not hurry to look for the wooden cabin but reverted the Silver Sword back into a staff shape, and then proceeded to extract a huge chunk of Black Crystal from the wall, armed with a kerosene lamp in one hand and tightly gripping the staff with the other, using the sharp end of the staff.

Dong!

Sparks flew.

But the next moment—

Sizzle!

Black and red electric arcs sprang forth.

Suddenly, Chen Lun received a strong premonition from his Spiritual Intuition.

He threw a card behind him in a flash, casting the spell “Great Human Transformation” to swap positions, moving to a spot fifty meters away.

Looking back, his eyes widened in shock.

A red glare flashed, illuminating his face as well as the entire mine.

Squeak squeak squeak!!

Loud, shrill sounds, like countless bird cries, exploded.

The entire mine was set ablaze with Black Crystal Ore being detonated by electric arcs, causing a chain reaction and turning the area into a red and black “Lightning Hell” in an instant.

Chen Lun did not dare to linger, continuing to retreat hastily.

Feeling the immense power and heat emanating from behind, he bolted out of the mine back to the initial open area.

The loud rumbling in the corridor lasted for several minutes, and Chen Lun secretly wiped off a cold sweat.

‘Good thing I ran fast, otherwise I would have been in bad shape…’

He was puzzled.

‘Can’t this Black Crystal be mined with force? If so, why can those creatures mine it… Hmm?’

Chen Lun suddenly realized something.

‘That’s it, they are Lost Souls, spiritual bodies… That’s the special thing! If physical means can’t mine this type of Black Crystal Sharpstone, then their kind of Lost Souls can!’

To verify this.

Chen Lun returned.

He carefully made his way back to the previous mining area, where the red and black lightning had subsided, with the Black Crystal Stones quietly embedded in the walls and dome.

If it hadn’t been for the hot air all around, he would have thought the whole scene had been an illusion.

This time, Chen Lun did not attempt to touch the Black Crystal Ore again; instead, after a glance, he suppressed the urge to possess and kept moving forward.

Passing through the third corridor, he entered into a new mining area.

It was even more spacious.

The abundant Black Crystal Stones shone like stars, and hundreds of ghostly blue Lost Souls mechanically excavated the ore from the walls.

In the deepest part, he could faintly make out a cabin, surrounded by Black Crystal Ore, as if set against a dream-like backdrop.

‘Perfect… Found the third wooden hut in the Misty Plains.’

With joy in his eyes, Chen Lun slowed his pace and held his breath.

He did not want to attract the attention of the Lost Souls.

With a wave of his hand, a Black Crystal Wand forged by Floey appeared in his palm.

Chen Lun leaned against the wall and cautiously approached a nearby ghastly Moonless Village Lost Soul, then pointed his wand at it and abruptly unleashed a black and red lightning bolt.

Sizzle!

The thick lightning bolt instantly struck the Lost Soul.

But the Lost Soul seemed to be an “insulator,” the black and red lightning spreading across its body with electric arcs dancing, failing to inflict any damage.

After a few flickers of black and red light, everything fell silent.

‘Just as I thought!’

Having confirmed his suspicion, Chen Lun promptly pocketed his wand and then conjured the [Fairy Wings], rising into the air and flying forward along the ceiling of the mine.

The hundreds of ghostly blue Lost Souls below detected his presence, making strange cries as they gave chase.
