"Big Brother Lin, we —"
Meng Chao had his back turned to the White Spirit's carcass. He wanted to say a few words that diehard fans would say when they saw their idol to resolve the awkward situation.
Suddenly, all the hair on his back stood up.
He turned his head around in disbelief and saw a bewitching and monstrous flower of flesh growing out of the White Spirit's empty left eye socket.
Slurp, slurp, slurp!
As squirming sounds that made his skin crawl rose, the flower of flesh bloomed. Dozens of red tentacles that looked like nerve bundles crawled out of the center. They pieced together the torn left side of the White Spirit's face, and it looked like a shattered demon mask.
Flesh tentacles crawled out of the wounds on his body. Under the excessive radiation from the Red Radiance Jades, they grew and swelled up rapidly. They wrapped around his torn body and went to the stalagmite that was stuck in his body.
"No, no, no, no, no!"
Meng Chao was in despair. "The Blood Flower is attached to it! It's turned into an undead!"
Kacha!
A few especially thick tentacles wrapped around it, and the thick stalagmite started cracking.
Meng Chao staggered to the chain sabers and swung them again. He wanted to cut off the mutating White Spirit's head.
It lifted its head and opened its mouth wide to spit out dozens of thick and long red tentacles. It flung the two sabers away and nearly wrapped them around Meng Chao's head to grind it to a pulp.
Then, the White Spirit opened its remaining right eye.
Its right eye was murky, murky, and red.
It no longer had the cunning and intelligence it had when it was alive. There was only killing intent to destroy everything.
"Whitey!"
When Lin Chuan saw that the White Spirit had started moving, he cried out in delight.
But soon, he saw the White Spirit turn into a monstrous and ugly creature, and he was stunned.
The White Spirit cast him a cold glance and even spat out a large number of tentacles. Lin Chuan became even more dejected.
Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!
The flesh tentacles twisted, and the stalagmite in the White Spirit's body shattered. The White Spirit regained its freedom, and its empty stomach was soon filled with madly dancing tentacles. Under the illumination of the Red Radiance Jades, it was surrounded by frenzied will-o '-the-wisps, and it looked like a demon that had returned from the depths of hell for revenge.
It was only then that Meng Chao learned that the White Spirit had long since been infected by the Blood Flower.
However, the Blood Flower was a very smart parasite. When the host was healthy and strong, they would usually not overpower the host. Instead, they would enter a half-hibernation state and focus on improving the host's physiological functions and brain cell activity.
When the host's life was drained, they would explode and turn the host's corpse into an even more terrifying form.
In his previous life, the White Spirit should have successfully completed the mission of destroying the Red Radiance Jade mine and stopping the humans' northern offense. It did not die there, which was why the Blood Flower in its body never had the chance to activate.
But Meng Chao believed that the Blood Flower's help was definitely related to it being able to grow from a small Illusion Wolf to a Supernatural Entity that surpassed Apocalyptic Beasts.
Due to his arrival in this life, he had changed a lot of things. The most important thing was that he had ended the White Spirit's life prematurely and turned it into an even more terrifying undead.
Just where would this change lead Dragon City?
He did not have time to think. The White Spirit's broken bones let out cracking sounds, and it struggled to stand up.
No, now, all of its white fur had fallen off. There was only a thin layer of blood-red fur squirming on its mottled skin. Its appearance was completely different from when it was alive, and it should be known as the Blood Spirit!
Qin Hu and Lu Siya could tell just how terrifying the Blood Spirit was.
Qin Hu shouted and raised his palms above his head as if he was holding an invisible saber. He finally did not screw up and summoned around thirty Shooting Star Blades to form a huge saber that went to the Blood Spirit's head.
The Blood Spirit stabbed two of its index fingers into its temples and activated its last bit of mental energy. Its vitality magnetic field erupted like a volcano and resonated with the magnetic field of the planet in the depths of the ground. It summoned nine spikes that looked like fangs.
Unfortunately, after turning into an undead, the Blood Spirit's fighting strength was much stronger than when it was alive. Its blood-red tentacles danced about and struck down most of the Shooting Star Blades. Even if a few of them stabbed into its body, they were expelled as it squirmed.
And Lu Siya had just started learning how to fight over the past two years. She had used Spikes a few times just now, and her spirit energy was drained. Her head hurt, and she could not lock down on the nine spikes. The Blood Spirit easily dodged them while dragging behind it a blood-red afterimage.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The Blood Spirit's afterimage split into three and appeared in front of Meng Chao, Qin Hu, and Lu Siya at the same time.
The three of them looked as if they had been attacked by a Bloody Cerberus at the same time. They were sent flying like kites with snapped strings and crashed into the wall of the mine. They coughed up blood and fell limp on the ground.
The Blood Spirit twitched in a neurotic manner, but it did not go forward to attack them. Instead, it returned to the place where the crystal bombs were placed. A few of its tentacles nimbly swept up a crystal bomb, tore off the seal with a lot of runic symbols, and tossed it at the spot with the densest number of Red Radiance Jades.
Boom!
The Red Radiance Jades exploded to pieces, and an incredibly rampaging spirit energy was released from the mine, filling the entire mine with a foehn wind that could burn souls!
Regardless of whether it was on Earth or the Other World, explosives were always used when mining mines.
However, the atomic structure of Earth was relatively stable, and most of the changes happened at the molecular level. After repeated research by scientists, they had long since created safe explosives that were incredibly stable. If they did not have detonators in them, they would not explode even if they were cut by knives or burned by fire.
But the crystals of the Other World were incredibly unstable and high-energy substances.
Even human brainwaves could activate the terrifying power hidden in the deepest part of the crystal.
Hence, not only did crystal bombs not need detonators to activate them, they needed runic symbols to seal them so that they could suppress their power and be safely stored and transported.
At that moment, the Blood Spirit tore off a few of the seals from the crystal bombs and tossed them into the depths of the Red Radiance Jades. The explosions caused the entire mine to tremble violently. All the Red Radiance Jades started cracking, and undercurrents surged in the depths of the crystals. It was as if the ancient power that extended to the core of the planet was awakening.
Before the trio could get up, they tumbled a few times because of the impact from the explosions.
"Is it mad?!"
Qin Hu cried out. "It blew up the Red Radiance Jade mine just like that?! It didn't even set a time to escape!"
"To a certain extent, it is mad," Lu Siya said through gritted teeth.
"Professor Ye told me before that the undead that are infested by the Blood Flowers and mutated are like zombies. Before their brains completely rot away, they still remember their deepest obsession when they were alive.
"When this monster was alive, its greatest obsession was to blow up the Red Radiance Jade mine. After it turned into an undead, its obsession turned into instinct.
"The Blood Flower itself is just a fungal life form of the lowest level. It doesn't have the ability to think. It only tossed the crystal bombs based on its instincts, but it never thought about leaving at least twelve hours to escape.
"Right now, it only cares about the crystal bombs and the Red Radiance Jade mine. It can't see anything else!"
The spiritual energy surging madly in the cave soon gathered into raging waves.
Even though the Blood Spirit did not have enough intelligence and did not know how to dig a hole in the depths of the mine, stuff the crystal bombs inside, and seal them to maximize the power of the explosion, the Blood Spirit did not have enough intelligence.
But no one could be certain that if so many crystal bombs were thrown on the surface of the Red Radiance Jade mine, the explosions would reach the critical point of a chain reaction and stir up a spirit energy tsunami that could destroy the world.
The trio was suppressed by the impact wave.
They seemed to have no choice but to pray.
At this moment.
Whoosh!
When the Blood Spirit wanted to sweep up more crystal bombs, the remaining half of the sealed crystal bombs were swept away by the chain spear.
It was Lin Chuan!
With a dazed expression, he mumbled to himself, "Whitey, we can't …"
The Blood Spirit growled and turned into a fierce, bloody shadow that shot past Lin Chuan's shoulder.
A bloody flower instantly bloomed on Lin Chuan's shoulder. His skin and flesh were torn apart.
"Big Brother Lin, it's no longer your Whitey!"
Meng Chao shouted anxiously. "It's an undead creature! It's a parasite that stole the White Spirit's carcass! It's an ugly zombie! Look at its current appearance. Do you think that the White Spirit would want to become like this?"
Lin Chuan was slightly stunned.
The Blood Spirit pounced on him again.
Lin Chuan instinctively swung his chain spear to block it. His Undying Bird shone again.
Unfortunately, he had used up too much spirit energy in the continuous fights, and he had been injured badly when he fought against Shen Yulong. Otherwise, he would have been able to kill Qin Hu, who was at the peak of Earth Realm.
But the Blood Spirit had received an additional boost from the Blood Flower. Its ability to create illusions and control minds might have been weakened, but its physical strength had increased.
Two figures intersected with each other, and a deep wound appeared on Lin Chuan's chest. He fell to the ground and revealed his throat.
The Blood Spirit's eyes shone with a fierce light. It spat out barbed tentacles from its mouth.
With just one bite, it could tear apart Lin Chuan's throat.
But at the final moment, it stopped.
Just like Lin Chuan, it turned into a puppet controlled by two puppet masters.
His spine let out cracking sounds as it twisted and trembled in a weird way.
It was as if there was a force controlling its body and wanted to pounce on Lin Chuan's throat, but another force was trying its best to stop it.
For an instant, the fierce light in its single eye disappeared without a trace.
Instead, just like Lin Chuan, it squeezed out a crystalline, bloody tear during the fight.
The left side of the blossoming flesh and blood face was still brimming with brutal killing intent.
The right side of its face, which resembled a fox's, had a conflicted and pained expression that was similar to a human's.
It opened its mouth as if it wanted to say something to Lin Chuan.
But its throat was blocked by the bloody tentacles, and it could only let out hissing moans.
"This is …"
Lin Chuan was stunned.
Qin Hu and Lu Siya were dumbfounded.
A thought flashed in Meng Chao's mind.
Kindling had never given him the reward for killing a Hell Beast.
Even if he did not kill the White Spirit alone, he was the one who lured the enemy and nearly paid the price of Huge Dragon's Might Cannon, which allowed Lu Siya's spike to pierce its abdomen.
No matter what, Kindling should have given him a small sum of money to encourage him to continue spreading fire, right?
Unless …
The White Spirit was not completely dead.
In fact, it was not completely controlled by the Blood Flower.
That was right. When normal monsters were infected by the Blood Flower, they would erupt before they died completely.
But the White Spirit had two brains. Even if its main brain was invaded by the Blood Flower, it might still have a fragmented soul attached to the swollen nerves at the end of its spine. It could last for a few minutes or even a few seconds!
"Big Brother Lin, do you see that?! The White Spirit is in pain!"
When Meng Chao thought of this, he shouted at the top of his lungs. "It was originally a muddle-headed monster that lived and fought based on its instincts. Regardless of whether it killed or was killed, it did not suffer from the pain that humans suffer from.
"It's you! You're the one who created it and gave it human emotions, desires, ambitions, and the deepest emotions. You're the one who created its soul and gave it the ability to sense pain.
"Now that it's dead, are you going to watch its soul suffer endless pain and torture in this ugly corpse?"
