My Salvation Game Became true?!

Chapter 115: Chapter 115: A Minute Tour (2/3)
 

“Crackle—”

“Crackle—”

Lightning whipped about like a long lash, leaving only ash where it swept across the zombies, offering them no chance to resist.

But Fang You furrowed his brows—there were too many.

Compared to the so-called Mysterious Evil Tide outside, this was in a completely different league.

An Jianyou also summoned her Xiao Heis.

The lineup had been upgraded again, three with three, totaling three exceptionally powerful three-star Mysterious Evils.

The moment they entered the fray, it was a killing spree.

But,

“Roar~!”

From within the gray mist, a deafening roar echoed, accompanied by green ghostly fires hurtling toward them.

These were two-star Mysterious Evils ‘Gui Lanterns’, but there were way too many of them.

An Jianyou’s lead Xiao Hei number three, the big black bulky ‘Stitched Monster’ with its flesh-shield origin, was quickly engulfed in flames amid a sizzling noise.

Fang You snapped his fingers, firing streaks of lightning. Silence soon followed in the distance.

But suddenly, the ground cracked open like a spider web, spreading out several meters in an instant right beneath their feet.

A chill shot up from their spines to the crowns of their heads.

Danger! Great danger!

Switching from a grab to a pull, Fang You wrapped his arm around An Jianyou, who was still naively commanding the battle of the Mysterious Evils, and leaped backward with force.

The next instant, the cracked ground caved in with a boom, forming a pitch-black hole several meters in diameter. A gruesome mouth lined with tentacles lunged out from the hole, snapping viciously.

He met it head-on with a Thunder Light Big Handprint.

Boom—!

The ground shattered, emitting a puff of blue smoke, but under the Lightning Palm imprint there was just a hole—the giant worm had vanished.

It hadn’t died; it had fled.

This was a three-star Mysterious Evil, and a Thunder Light Big Handprint wasn’t enough to kill it instantly.

It was likely still lurking nearby.

Meanwhile, the number of three-star Mysterious Evils that came into view was increasing, including familiar forms such as the Flesh Giant, Bone Knight, and Eight-eyed Behemoth.

There were also enormous ghastly birds drifting in the sky.

Three-star Mysterious Evil, the Human-faced Ghastly Bird!

And…

Fang You watched a Flesh Giant in the distance, his eyebrows knitting together.

He fired a highly concentrated Palm Thunder, obliterating the giant’s bloody right arm, but at that moment, fresh flesh burgeoned from its shoulder, regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The same was true for the Bone Knight nearby.

Its damaged armor was rapidly repairing itself.

“Inside the Ghastly Realm, these Mysterious Evils have extremely strong self-regenerative abilities, and they seem to be ‘smarter’ than those outside?”

Fang You glanced at a few of An Jianyou’s Xiao Heis.

But they didn’t; they remained the same as before. Even the three-star ‘Stitched Monster’ peeled off its burning flesh and patted out the flames, but its body had slimmed down significantly without recovery.

Moreover,

“My life energy is also draining, and the gray mist makes the Mysterious Evils more concealed and difficult to detect.”

“In the Ghastly Realm, there are too many factors against us!”

Before coming here, Fang You thought that with the two of them and one cat, handling ordinary three-star Mysterious Evils would be manageable.

But upon arrival, they discovered it to be far more difficult and dangerous than imagined!

Even now,

they were still at the starting point, not having progressed far.

“Xiao Huan!”

Fang You murmured softly, a faint golden light enveloping his body, making him appear both divine and holy.

Spirit Ability Two, Incarnation Body!

He let Xiao Huan wrap around him, and he descended upon Xiao Huan, achieving a safe overlap.

Gold seemed to burst forth from his eyes.

Palm Thunder, away!

A thick beam of lightning was released in an instant, engulfing the Bone Knight charging forward with a spear. Amid the dazzling thunderlight, the gray-white figure halted, fell to the ground, and was reduced to remnants.

Then came the second strike, as dazzling thunderbolt descended, vaporizing the upper half of the flesh giant’s body, which then collapsed with a thunderous crash.

This thick thunderbolt then spread out, transforming into a net of lightning that vanished dozens of one- and two-star Mysterious Evils in an instant.

‘So powerful!’

‘The mentor is really amazing!’

An Jianyou’s cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes shimmered with stars.

But Fang You did not feel at ease.

Indeed, in his Incarnation Body state, he possessed the spirit power of Xiao Huan at a value of 50 points. Even without a physical strength value in this state, the Palm Thunder unleashed with fifty spirit power points was far more powerful than his normal state.

And it was nearly instantaneous.

Both fast and strong.

However, the amount of life energy, which reflected his own – 16.2 units – was quite a lot, but in such an environment, it was nowhere near enough—especially in the Ghastly Realm, where energy not only naturally diminished but also consumed much more when using abilities.

His life energy poured out like riverwater through an opened sluice.

It was running dry.

It was nowhere near enough to exterminate all the Mysterious Evils around, and from the grey fog in the distance, more kept emerging unceasingly, like sharks drawn by the scent of blood.

Their numbers seemed endless, and exceedingly dangerous!

The original plan was to find a four-star Mysterious Evil to practice on, but under the current circumstances, venturing out would be even more dangerous, and one misstep could lead to his demise in the Ghastly Realm.

A plan is just a plan after all.

“Let’s go back,”

“The matters of the Ghastly Realm need careful long-term planning.”

“Mhm, mhm.”

An Jianyou’s Passage to the Mystic eyes activated, and the surroundings slowly began to ripple like water, the gray fog growing sparser.

Suddenly, a terrifying huge shadow appeared.

Three enormous heads and a bloated body oozing pus, one hand grabbed several tall two-star Mysterious Evils and stuffed them into its mouth, crunching down on them like snacks.

Those three heads and six eyes looked in their direction.

In an instant, waves of coldness surged.

The next moment,

Hum—

The grey fog dissipated, Fang You looked up, and sunlight sprinkled on his face, which felt incredibly good.

No matter what, Blue Star must not fall to the same fate as the Ghastly Realm!

…

“Woo… Finally back.”

An Jianyou calmed down, and once she came to her senses, fear overwhelmed her.

If the mentor hadn’t pulled her away at that moment, she might have lost her life there.

“Your combat experience and vigilance are still far from sufficient,”

Fang You said.

In terms of paper strength, An Jianyou could take on three three-star Mysterious Evils, which arguably made her even stronger than him in his normal state.

But her battle readiness was indeed lacking.

Her physical constitution wasn’t weak; after taking potions and possessing expert-level swordsmanship, she simply wasn’t vigilant enough, which meant her capabilities were not being fully utilized.

Seeing the girl lower her head in shame and self-reproach, Fang You didn’t continue to criticize, but instead gave An Jianyou a task.

“Set a small goal for yourself, pass the ‘Sword Trial’ in three days.”

“Mhm, mhm… Huh?”

…

Time was tight, and the mission was critical.

Fang You didn’t stay long in Baijiang, leaving right after the lunch An Jianyou had made herself.

He needed to expand the map coverage to Level 5 within two days, before the doorway to the Ghastly Realm opened, to envelop most of Dong Huang.

“It’s a pity that the Ghastly Realm isn’t within the map’s range, so I can’t gain Fate Points and Ghastly Crystals.”

“But even if it were, the Ghastly Realm is too dangerous. Those of us entering from the outside are like bonfires in the darkness, constantly attracting Mysterious Evils.”

“In such a situation, even if I advanced to the Third Awakening, I would still find it extremely difficult to move about in the Ghastly Realm.”

“And there are other inconveniences as well!”

He had a feeling that the Ghastly Realm was a place he would inevitably have to visit in the future.

But judging from today’s encounter, the Ghastly Realm, the waters were too deep.
