Lin Chuan snapped out of his daze.
He exchanged a deep glance with the White Spirit, whose face had changed beyond recognition.
He did not know whether it was just his imagination.
He seemed to have seen the White Spirit nod gently at Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan gritted his teeth and shot out his chain spear.
The Blood Spirit could have dodged it.
But the White Spirit held it back and allowed the burning chain spear, which was strengthened by the Undying Bird, to wrap around it.
Lin Chuan yanked. Each of the runic symbols on the chain spear shone and screamed. It sank deep into the Blood Spirit's body, and it burned so much that its tentacles screeched.
The Blood Spirit struggled and jumped up and down.
Lin Chuan used all his strength and tightened his grip on the chain spear. His feet sank into the ground and locked down his opponent. Even if every inch of his flesh and bones from his arms to his back exploded, he did not care.
"Big Brother Lin won't be able to last for long."
Meng Chao shouted at Qin Hu and Lu Siya. "We have to help him!"
The three of them pounced on it again.
The bloody flower in the Blood Spirit's left eye was like a gaping mouth. It let out a piercing screech and shot out three murky, brutal, and crazed rays of red light.
The three of them shuddered. They felt as if their brains had been cut open by an invisible blade. It went from the top of their skulls to their tailbones. All their muscle fibers and nerve clusters screamed, and they could no longer take another step forward. They fell to the ground.
After the Blood Spirit turned into an undead creature, its ability to create illusions and control minds turned into a simple and crude mind attack. With the violent amplification from the Red Radiance Jades' magnetic field, it practically boiled the trio's cerebral cortexes.
Lin Chuan was also struck by the Blood Spirit's mind.
He swayed, and the Blood Spirit threw him with its chain spear. He crashed against the walls of the mine, but it refused to let go.
Meng Chao heard Qin Hu's screams, Lu Siya's moans, and Lin Chuan's grunts.
He also heard his nearly suffocating breathing.
There was no other way.
His hands felt two hard things on the outside of his thighs.
It was a self-destruct gun that even Li Xin, the lone gunslinger, did not dare to use.
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath with great difficulty. He twisted his thumb and index finger and opened the small bottle containing the meteor fragment bullets.
At the moment the bullet left the mithril stabilizing fluid, it let out an even sharper whistle than the Blood Spirit's.
Meng Chao used two fingers to grab it, and his fingerprints were immediately flattened by the destructive force contained in the bullet.
The ten fingers were connected to the heart, and he felt a piercing pain.
However, he endured the pain and inserted the bullet into the self-destruct gun.
With a light click, the magazine was closed, and the mysterious and complicated runes on the body of the gun emitted an extremely dangerous light.
The light was like a wriggling venomous snake. It crawled up his arm through the handle and fused with his vitality magnetic field. Then, it continued spreading up, and like a fierce beast, it charged forward and pierced the deepest part of his brain.
Meng Chao's pupils shrank to the size of needles.
He felt that the top of his skull was going to be blown away by the destructive power of the meteorite fragment bullet before he even fired. His entire brain was going to fly into the sky.
He trembled as he pulled the trigger and aimed at the Blood Spirit. He continued stimulating his brain cells so that his brainwaves would resonate with the destructive magnetic field contained in the meteor shard bullet, which increased its destructive power to the max.
At the same time, he comforted himself.
'It's fine. I'm someone who has returned to the past, and I'm destined to change the future. That's why this self-destruct gun, which can even blow up a Heaven Realm superhuman's head with one shot, can't hurt me, who's just a one-star superhuman.
'It might even help me activate the mysterious domain in the deepest parts of my brain and release ancient power or all sorts of strange bloodlines. I might even awaken to more than one hundred superpowers and become a Deity Realm superhuman on the spot. It'll strengthen my body and increase my lifespan. That's right, that must be it!'
He narrowed his eyes and accurately locked on the bloody flower on the left side of the Blood Spirit's face.
Before the bullet left the barrel, the unstoppable mental power had already turned into an arrow that left its bow. It burned the bloody flower so much that it started shrinking.
Just when he was about to fire, he heard a whoosh. The chain spear that bound the Blood Spirit finally reached the limit of metal fatigue after a series of intense fights, and it was completely shattered by the Blood Spirit's monstrous strength.
Lin Chuan coughed up blood and fell back.
'No!'
Meng Chao was shocked. His vision blurred, and pain shot up his wrist. The self-destruct gun was flung to the side by the Blood Spirit.
The demon pounced on Meng Chao again and spat out a mouthful of sticky, barbed, stinking tentacles. It tried to lick, tear apart, and devour Meng Chao's head.
'Why is it always in such a bad position?' Meng Chao's mind went blank.
At that critical moment where he was about to die, he heard Lin Chuan shout, "Whitey!"
The Blood Spirit shuddered. Its right eye instantly became clear again, and it turned its head around.
Lin Chuan held the self-destruct gun with both hands and aimed at its head. Tears shone in his eyes, but there was an incredibly gentle smile on his lips. He called out softly, "Whitey …"
Meng Chao did not know whether he was seeing things again.
He clearly saw the Blood Spirit — no, the White Spirit hesitate for a moment before its lips curled up into a smile that looked very much like a human's.
Bang!
Lin Chuan fired.
The recoil was like an invisible hammer that smashed into the top of his skull.
Even the strength of a Heaven Realm superhuman's brain could not withstand the side effects of the self-destruct gun. Blood gushed out of Lin Chuan's eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. He fell back, and the back of his head crashed into the Red Radiance Jade cluster.
The meteor fragment bullet drew out a dazzling trajectory and accurately pierced through the bloody flower on the left side of the Blood Spirit's face. It sank deep into its brain and stirred up an unstoppable explosion in the depths of its brain.
Hiss!
The Blood Spirit let out a final screech.
All the tentacles on its body were no longer as savage and frenzied as they were a moment ago. They were all tensed up and trembled in fear.
Only the smile on the right side of its mouth that resembled a human's, or more accurately speaking, it was the same smile as Lin Chuan's. It seemed to have frozen and refused to disappear even after a long time had passed.
Boom!
Its entire head and upper body were blown to smithereens.
Countless Blood Flower bacterial flora scattered on the ground. They struggled and squirmed while screaming.
Lu Siya gritted her teeth and climbed up. She brought out all the Blood Flower inhibitors and sprinkled them over Meng Chao's body.
When the Blood Flower bacterial flora came into contact with the inhibitors, they shrank as if they had come into contact with flames. Soon, they withered, froze, and turned into puddles of dried blood.
A notification popped up at the corner of Meng Chao's eyes, telling him that he had completed the quest.
Finally, it ended.
"Big Brother Lin!"
Meng Chao was stunned like a statue for a long time before he crawled to Lin Chuan's side. He noticed that the recoil from the self-destruct gun had already turned into spirit flames that could destroy everything in its path. It burned his brain into a mess, and even his eyes were blinded.
Even with the mental strength and brain strength of a Heaven Realm superhuman, they had to pay a devastating price to use a self-destruct gun.
If he had been the one who fired just now …
His head would have exploded at the same time as the Blood Spirit.
When he thought of this, Meng Chao felt complicated.
Lin Chuan could not see anything. He reached out to touch Meng Chao, and suddenly, he shuddered. Indescribable shame, regret, pain, joy, and relief appeared on his face again.
"I'm sorry, Meng Chao," he mumbled.
He mumbled, "I was wrong. I killed a lot of people. I killed Whitey …"
"But you also saved a lot of people, Big Brother Lin," Meng Chao said softly.
"You'll never know just how many people you've saved."
"Is that so? Can I really save — cough — a lot of people?"
Lin Chuan coughed up blood. His face was pale, and his expression would occasionally relax before scrunching up again. He moaned as if he was in a nightmare. "I don't know, Meng Chao. I often have a dream. I dream that in the beginning, we were in a warm and calm ocean. We were all cells that were absolutely equal.
"Later, a ray of light shone down, and an incredibly mighty and alluring voice told us to evolve. Evolve! Evolve no matter what. Go and create your civilization!
"So, cough … So, we continued evolving. We evolved madly. We evolved, and we evolved … Slowly, some of our cells evolved into Crystalline Nine-headed Dragons that soared freely above us. Some of our cells evolved into Demonic Halberd Pigs that rolled around in mud. Some of our cells were even worse. They evolved into weeds that could be cut down by others.
"Everyone seemed to have become more advanced, more advanced, and stronger.
"But we didn't know each other and no longer treated each other as the same kind!
"Tell me, Meng Chao. How will we evolve next? Will the Crystalline Nine-headed Dragons, Demonic Halberd Pigs, and weeds fuse together like how the cells huddled together in the warm ocean to stay warm? Can our civilization really become a better place? Just what is' us'? What is' civilization '? What is' beauty '? I've been thinking about the answers to these questions, but no matter what, I can't figure them out! "
Meng Chao was silent for a while before he said firmly, "We will, Big Brother Lin. Our civilization will definitely become better. I will also find the answers to all your questions. Trust me, we can save Dragon City and our civilization!"
"I know. You mentioned it before. You wanted to use the Ultimate Style to save Dragon City."
Lin Chuan closed his eyes and smiled in a sad manner. "But you don't understand. The Ultimate Style can't save Dragon City. If we don't understand what civilization is, Dragon City is bound to be destroyed. I think I can see it. I can already see it …"
"Then we'll think of another way!"
Meng Chao cut him off and growled in excitement. "If the Ultimate Style can't work, we'll think of another way. If this path doesn't work, we'll look for more friends who share the same ideals and use our feet to tread more paths among the thorns and flames. There will definitely be a way! Our civilization will definitely find a way!"
His vitality magnetic field burned like a torch in a lighthouse. It shone brightly.
Lin Chuan might not be able to see, but he could sense Meng Chao's determination, which was even more brilliant than the Red Radiance Jades.
For a period of time, the nightmare that had haunted him for years shattered and disappeared.
"Meng Chao, you're just too much stronger than me. Perhaps I should be the one — cough — treating you as my idol …"
Lin Chuan exhaled slowly and smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! A series of explosions occurred in the depths of the Red Radiance Jade mine. Rampaging spirit energy surged at the four of them like an avalanche.
