Chapter 153 Why did you stab yourself twice?
In the ghost's perception, it successfully invaded the human body.
But here is not the warm spiritual sea it imagined, nor are there any emotions and memories to devour.
This place is nothingness.
There was no sky, no earth, only endless grayness and deathly silence.
It became overconfident and rushed into this place, which was even more hellish than itself, without hesitation.
It wandered around frantically, trying to find the core of this space, the "core" that represents the source of the host's spirit.
Once the "core" is destroyed, it can completely take over the body.
It darted around for a long time, and finally, in the center of the endless gray, it saw a different color.
It was a black lotus flower.
The lotus flower is small, with only nine petals, and floats quietly in mid-air.
The edges of each petal shimmered with a dark gold hue that seemed to absorb all light.
That's it!
The ghostly contract beast let out a silent shriek, stretching its spirit body into a sharp arrow and plunging it fiercely towards the heart of the black lotus.
Just drill in and smash it!
Just before the arrow touched the lotus heart, the nine petals moved.
Instead of blooming, they withdrew inward in a way that defies common sense.
The nine petals gently closed, completely enveloping the ghostly contract beast.
"No...that's not right!"
A desperate thought exploded inside the black lotus.
It felt its body being broken down and slowly absorbed by the lotus heart.
outside world.
It all happened in less than a second.
The gray-white frost pattern covering Lu Yan's combat uniform cracked with a crisp sound, shattering into powder and scattering.
He took a half step back and stood firmly in place.
He raised his head, looked at the group of ghostly contracted beasts that had emerged from the ground, ready to celebrate their victory, and stretched his neck.
The expressions on the faces of the ghostly contracted beasts, who had just been looking smug, froze.
They could sense that the presence of their companions had completely and permanently vanished.
They wanted to escape, but their bodies remained frozen in place, nailed to the spot by a fear that came from the depths of their souls.
"Lu Yan!"
Wen Yue's anxious shouts came over. She didn't think too much about it and simply believed that Lu Yan had been hurt.
The moment Lu Yan was invaded, the blue dragon-shaped creature moved.
It flapped its wings, about to charge, its target being Wen Yue, the only one present who could still pose a threat to it.
The Azure Dragon opened its mouth and spat out a spiraling wind blade compressed to its limit.
The wind blades moved swiftly along the ground, carving out a scorched, half-meter-deep furrow in their wake of the lush green grass.
Wen Yue rolled to the side, her military boots stomping heavily on the ground, using the force to propel herself up.
In mid-air, she had already completed the entire process of turning around and aiming.
The crosshairs of the World-Destroying Thunderbolt were firmly locked onto the Azure Dragon.
Seeing Lu Yan being struck by the gray shadow, a certain valve in her chest was suddenly opened.
Unease and worry transformed into the most primal killing intent.
She no longer considered conserving ammunition or tactical maneuvering.
He pressed the rapid-fire button with his index finger.
Three specially modified scatter grenades were launched in a triangular formation.
The grenade did not fly towards the Azure Dragon, but exploded in mid-air ten meters in front of it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst the flames of the three explosions, thousands of tiny steel ball fragments formed three walls of death, instantly blocking all of Azure Dragon's possible routes of advance and evasion.
The Azure Dragon, which was diving at high speed, crashed headlong into this deadly metal storm.
"Clang clang clang—"
The sounds of intense impact blended together, and sparks flew from the bronze scales on the Azure Dragon's body.
The intense pain caused it to let out an angry roar, forcing its charge to halt in mid-air.
It tried to force its way up to escape this damn barrage of bullets.
That's the pause.
Wen Yue pulled the trigger.
Inside the magazine, a high-explosive grenade was pushed into the launch slot.
A crimson tail flame flared up as the deadly arrow tore through the air, not aiming for the strongest defense—the head—but precisely piercing through the impenetrable barrage of shrapnel, striking the Azure Dragon squarely in the chest.
There were wounds there, left from the friction between the exoskeleton armor and the enemy when they tried to drive them away.
The next instant, an explosion occurred.
The violent energy did not leak out at all; it all exploded and dispersed within the Azure Dragon's body.
The sturdy scales were ripped off from the inside, and flesh and blood mixed with fragments of internal organs turned into charcoal in the high heat.
The Azure Dragon's roar abruptly ceased, turning into a short, mournful cry.
Its golden vertical pupils immediately became unfocused, and its massive body lost all strength, falling helplessly from mid-air and crashing heavily onto the grass, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Its body did not bleed, but instead rapidly became transparent, turning into countless cyan light spots flying everywhere.
The points of light swirled and converged, eventually coalescing into a fist-sized energy sphere with swirling winds inside where it fell.
Everything returned to calm.
Lu Yan walked over and patted Wen Yue's still slightly trembling shoulder.
Wen Yue shuddered, put down the World-Destroying Thunder Crossbow, her chest still heaving violently.
"Go take a look, this is your spoils," Lu Yan said.
Wen Yue nodded and walked to the cyan energy ball. She reached out and gently touched it with her fingertips.
A completely new message flooded into her mind.
[An unclaimed core has been detected. Propose a soul contract?]
[Contract Target: Azure Wind Dragon (Mount-type Contract Beast)]
[Attribute: After mounting, shares the "Flying" ability with the master, increasing movement speed by 120%. Activates the skill "Wind's Protection" (consumes primal energy to form an instant-cast wind shield capable of blocking one targeted attack; cooldown is ten minutes).]
Wen Yue looked at Lu Yan.
A smile appeared on Lu Yan's face.
It turned out to be the case.
The rules of this secret realm were simpler and more brutal than he had imagined.
Defeating the creatures here will grant you their most primal power, allowing you to transform them into your own contracted beasts.
That recluse named Li Shan wasn't making up a story; he had discovered a treasure trove that could change the landscape of grassroots combat power in China.
"It suits you perfectly, let's take this one." Lu Yan's voice was excited.
Wen Yue no longer hesitated.
As she confirmed it with her mind, the cyan orb shattered, turning into a stream of light that disappeared into her right arm.
A delicate, small blue dragon tattoo slowly emerged on her skin, lifelike.
Wen Yue's mind stirred.
A flash of blue light appeared, and the little blue dragon, now fully restored, reappeared before her.
This time, however, there was no hostility in its eyes. Instead, it lowered its head affectionately and rubbed its smooth forehead against Wen Yue's cheek.
A silent sniper gained the ability to fly.
This means she will become the deadliest ghost on the battlefield, an aerial artillery platform that moves freely.
Lu Yan's gaze passed over Wen Yue and her mount, and landed in the distance.
The translucent ghostly contract beasts were already terrified and were desperately burrowing into the ground.
Lu Yan's smile widened.
"Don't rush off," he muttered to himself. "I haven't even hit you yet, why are you stabbing yourselves in the back?"
