"But it's okay, just switch to another one; if one dies, there are still twenty left."

"Judging by its location, it should be an ancient water-dwelling shadow monster."

"This should be the spot," Qin Muye compared the map and confirmed the area.

"Definitely not going to catch any fish, with my luck I'm just as likely to get air, so..."

"Not much value, it all depends on quantity." For Qin Muye, quantity no longer mattered much.

"Looks like a parasite, but to think it could actually parasitize an ancient shadow monster, these little shadow parasites are really something," Qin Muye said as he looked at the utterly shriveled fish skin and casually grabbed a bug that seemed healthy.

"Shame, didn't get to see the full appearance of this ancient shadow monster."

"Hiss~ Didn't expect a surprise, seems like it's not... oh, never mind, it's dead."

"Whatever, I'll just... wait, why does this thing feel off?"

"I remember when it just died it should have sunk, why is it floating up now?"

"I did make some trivial adjustments to the energy environment of the Shadow Realm, but that doesn't mean you can just not show up."

"I'm never going into the sea. I'll never do that in my life."

"Either blow up the fish, or just drain the water."

"Most of the ancient shadow monster's remains should still be underwater, I guess."

"Now that I think about it, this is probably just a part of the ancient shadow monster not the whole thing, no wonder it looked a bit small."

"This thing is actually not dead? No, it should be dead for sure, but something like a parasite or some kind of collective organism inside it didn't die due to protection, and is now breaking through?"

After all, he mostly spent his time on land and not in the water, so he had a preference for land-dwelling ancient shadow monsters.

After all, shadow monster things shouldn't care about sexually transmitted diseases, right?

After all, it's only a 5th tier. If it were 6th tier, it might come out and curse at Qin Muye, but 5th tier just isn't qualified enough.

It wasn't because of death that it got unlucky, but because his first encounter was with a difficult ancient shadow monster.

Unless Qin Muye really has time to come back, otherwise, it's pretty much up to fate now.

Aside from... some unlucky ancient shadow monster that wasn't blasted out, everything else was quite nice.

It's about making you sick even if I can't kill you.

A large number of crimson crystals, blood-flesh amalgamations, and flowing mist all indicate the success of this fish-blasting operation.

But suddenly he noticed that the surface of the thing was moving, and then crimson appeared in his pupils.

Of course, that was because he was quite poor at the time, so he couldn't afford such a large charge.

At his level, if a real fight breaks out, high-end combat strength and top-notch weapons are the key to victory.

After the explosion, Qin Muye slowly made his way back.

It's all about being as devious as possible. Even if it doesn't kill in one go, it can still be a disaster for a thousand years.

I guess the radiation contamination might recede in a thousand years or so. To the Dead Shadows, it would just be a flick of a finger, no big deal.

Still the kind with its belly facing upward.

Forget it, why keep maggots for no reason. If he kept a bug, it might become a butterfly, even a moth would be fine, but maggots would just turn into flies.

Soon, Qin Muye's finger landed on a point on the map, "It's your turn, no idea which unlucky one ran into me."

With that deathly appearance, it was definitely blasted to death by his Crimson Hell, not died from some weird sexually transmitted disease.

A pity, but that's all there is to it.

Once the parasitism host has been exposed to the external environment, of course, it loses any advantage and just waits for death to come.

Even the ancient shadow monster couldn't withstand it, let alone a bunch of bugs.

Even without Qin Muye's polluting radiation environment, they wouldn't be able to survive for long.

Qin Muye originally thought the ancient shadow monster was going ballistic, but then a giant fish corpse with pockmarks and an extremely gruesome death, ranging from crimson crystals to rotten flesh chunks to pus-filled tumors, just floated up like that.

Qin Muye suspected that the ancient shadow monster had become a pile of minced flesh, but he was unclear about its exact appearance.

Looking at the pockmarked fish skin, Qin Muye felt it was quite ominous.

Qin Muye wasn't particularly affected; he had seen more terrifying scenes before, let alone such a minor one.

After some investigation, Qin Muye found the lake to be very deep, with a lurking colossal creature beneath.

Qin Muye's requirements weren't high; he just wanted to find a shadow monster that could take a hit, and looks didn't matter anymore.

Qin Muye genuinely intended to put the ancient shadow monster out of its misery, perhaps by dissecting it for an experimental sample or something similar.

Then he casually crushed it to death.

The wriggling worms were like maggots, emerging only to... meet with society's harsh treatment.

Without hesitation, he tossed a Crimson Hell into the depths of the lake, then decisively fled from the scene.

Marine life always has its limitations.

After some thought, he found the idea of draining the lake too challenging; it seemed to be a very deep lake, but beneath it there was actually a massive underground cave system.

He casually took out a stack of Crimson Hell; he had precise control over it, ensuring it wouldn't be too excessive—in the worst case, it would simply turn the black lake into a ruby one.

So, it's better just to blast it directly.

The amount he used just now was not small, even more than he had used when bombing the Silver Star Alliance.

He wasn't familiar with shadow monsters or Dead Shadows, or even with this whole world, so he just took it as adding a little bit of different color to the gloomy Shadow Realm.

He really wasn't afraid of being harmed by Crimson Hell, but that didn't mean he wanted to stay inside it.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw the skin of the ancient shadow monster open up like a honeycomb, and countless pitch-black worms gushed out of the skin openings like a deluge.

Now it was different; he was truly wealthy, and many problems could be solved with money rather than superpowers.

After making his selection, Qin Muye used the Super Space-Time Transmission Channel to leave the place.

If it hadn't been an aquatic ancient shadow monster, Qin Muye wouldn't have seriously set out to kill it.

It wasn't without its merits; daring to parasitize within the body of an ancient shadow monster, even managing to hollow out the enormous creature, spoke volumes about its top-tier reproductive capability.

A huge explosion erupted, accompanied by mushroom clouds, nuclear radiation, genetic pollution, and all manner of bizarre lasers breaking out. This Crimson Hell was no longer the original; Qin Muye had added plenty of technology and magic to it, like Nuclear Energy Technology and Biotechnology, among others.

There were mutants, those polluted by nuclear radiation and died, and others that turned into ruby crystals; death came in myriad bizarre forms.

Moreover, flies were one thing, but these maggot-type shadow monsters clearly lacked the evolutionary type; they were mere maggots for their whole lives.

Besides, this series wasn't known for its power but rather for the subsequent contamination and radiation, among other effects.

It was like setting off fireworks; they might not necessarily harm people when they explode, but how many would choose to stand next to them and get blasted?

This was a large lake, devoid of anything but the ink-like blackness of the water.

The strength of these maggot-type shadow monsters wasn't formidable; if they'd been strong, they'd be predators, not parasites.

This stretched Qin Muye's face.

It made an already bizarre scene even more terrifying.

Indeed, these things looked almost like maggots, but what set them apart was their ferocity; they even dared to nibble on Qin Muye, showing no fear of heaven or earth.

Qin Muye's twitching eye corner betrayed his suspicion that there was something unscientific about these creatures.

Draining the lake would take an eternity, a duration he simply didn't have. @@novelbin@@

If they had been formidable, they wouldn't all have been annihilated by the pollution and radiation of the Crimson Hell by now.

If the ancient shadow monster beneath the lake didn't show itself after the explosion, Qin Muye could only leave with tears and find another unfortunate target.

Just as he was pondering a departure to bother some other unlucky soul, he suddenly noticed the water beginning to bubble, resembling boiling water.

The previous uprising left because of the host's death, which is why it acted out; otherwise, it would have remained quite well-behaved.

As for the polluted environment, that wasn't his concern, as it wasn't his home, so there was no need for cleanup.

As for the idea of keeping them in case they might be useful...

He took out the map again and started to randomly point, "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe, catch a chicken by the toe."
