307: Chapter 306 Unkillable Units
[You have killed Specter: Zuihuo Monkey. 3,500 points of spiritual essence remain in this flesh and blood; 1,400 points have been fed back to you.]
[Current spirituality value: 2,560]
As the System prompt appeared, Chu Xuan understood that this was yet another Constellation Envoy of the Resurrection Society. From the spirituality value obtained, it wasn't hard to tell that the opponent must have had a significant number of subordinates.
In the current context where Specters were emerging one after another, everyone felt endangered. Some ordinary members of the Resurrection Society, whether through coercion or deception, would inevitably be driven to recruit subordinates frantically just to survive.
With such exponential growth, more people would be guided to join the Resurrection Society through various means in the future, living in symbiosis with Specters.
Every new member added to the Resurrection Society signified a shift in the balance of power between the two worlds. As upper-level personnel in the Resurrection Society's pyramid, they would receive massive spirit money rewards as their number of subordinates increased, allowing their strength to skyrocket.
If not curbed, this vicious cycle would continue, the global environment would deteriorate daily, and the world would be gradually weakened from within, eventually losing the foundation to resist the Gloom Invasion.
This Resurrection Society was absolutely a massive tumor, a sharp blade of The Gloom!
As these thoughts raced through his mind, the killing intent in Chu Xuan's heart grew stronger.
Meanwhile, everyone in the underground control room had witnessed the entire process of Jiao Hui transforming into a Strange Creatures and being killed; they were all left dumbfounded with shock.
No one expected that this Night Watchers Deputy Captain, who had been left behind to guard the area, would actually turn into a Strange Creatures.
In that case...
Besides Jiao Hui, were there others who had been compromised?
At this moment, Chu Xuan's gaze swept over them, causing everyone's hearts to shudder. Elder Guo, in particular—who had just claimed he was willing to bear the infamy alone to launch a nuclear strike—felt his soul tremble.
“Wait!”
A guard by Elder Guo's side, who had a starburst mark between his eyebrows, took a step forward and raised his hand. “You have already killed the person who needed to be killed. You cannot touch these few...”
“Scram!!”
Chu Xuan gave a violent shout, accompanied by a Slash that flew out and arrived instantly.
The guard was sent flying by the strike, a deep gash appearing on his chest as he violently spat out blood.
“How bold!”
The other four guards roared in unison, their powerful Aura surging so much that their clothes were strained tight, and the entire underground control room vibrated along with them.
However, they seemed to have reservations. They stared at Chu Xuan with tense expressions but did not step forward to attack; instead, they shielded their injured comrade and the five elders, including Elder Guo, behind them.
Their majestic breath permeated the air, isolating Chu Xuan from the group.
“I advise you people who don't belong to this world not to meddle in other people's business.”
Chu Xuan's tone was icy.
When his Eye of Insight swept around, he had already taken in everyone present, understanding each person's identity. However, when his gaze passed over the five guards with starburst marks on their brows, an unexpected discrepancy appeared.
These five people actually all belonged to another world.
However, this was not the reason Chu Xuan had shown mercy.
The reason he hadn't struck to kill was that the prompts from the Eye of Insight labeled these people as [Unkillable Units].
If he killed these people, he would suffer varying degrees of spirituality value deduction penalties. If he had spirituality value, it would be deducted; if not, an equivalent amount of health points would be deducted instead.
And just now, since he only injured that man, although he didn't suffer a spirituality value deduction, he received a warning from the System.
[Warning! You have dealt 300 points of damage to an Unkillable Unit while under no threat or attack. If you deal damage to this unit again within a short period, every attack will result in a penalty of 10 to 100 spirituality value points. If you kill this unit, you will suffer a one-time penalty of 420 spirituality value points.]
At this moment, when Chu Xuan stated bluntly that they did not belong to this world, the young guards immediately showed looks of astonishment, followed quickly by their gazes turning cold.
“Kid, aren't you being a bit too overbearing?” one of the guards, whose forehead starburst was the most dazzling and whose Aura was the most powerful, said with a cold face. “Acting like this, you won't get very far.”

As the various pieces of information entered his eyes, Chu Xuan's expression remained unchanged, but his mind was racing with thoughts.
He had encountered people from another world again.
This Junior Brother Shen Guyun was quite different from those Battle Warriors of the War Dragon World. Not only did all his attributes break the limit by twenty percent, but the existence of various techniques was also something Chu Xuan was seeing for the first time.
Specifically, the prompt [Unkillable Unit] made Chu Xuan feel suspicious.
Based on Chu Xuan's experience, on the surface, this System prompt was naturally telling him not to deal with these people, but the prerequisite was that he was not under attack.
Furthermore, even if he did kill them, it wasn't a direct erasure like violating a rule, but rather a deduction of spirituality value, leaving some room for maneuver.
This was quite intriguing.
It seemed to be telling him not to take the initiative to cause trouble for the time being, but also not to be afraid of trouble. If he really couldn't help but make a move, it was fine, but he'd have to pay a fine.
As Chu Xuan's eyes flickered, it was naturally impossible for him to back down like this. “I'm only giving you this one chance. Stand aside obediently. If you dare to stop me from doing my work again, it won't be as simple as just getting injured.”
Junior Brother Shen Guyun's face was extremely ugly as he stared fixedly at Chu Xuan.
But in the end, he took the lead in stepping aside. However, he still left some harsh words, saying coldly, “Acting so recklessly... when Yang Yu returns, I will tell him everything.”
“No need for you to worry.” As Chu Xuan spoke calmly, the majestic Aura dispersed, and he looked at Elder Guo with a tranquil gaze.
“Mr. Shen, you...”
Elder Guo was shocked, but before he could finish his sentence, his peripheral vision caught a glint of black light in Chu Xuan's eyes. Suddenly, his head roared as if struck by a giant hammer, and he instantly lost the ability to think.
At the same time, an icy voice entered his ears.
“Still hiding and not coming out? If you don't awaken now, you won't have another chance to appear.”
As the voice fell, Elder Guo's entire body instantly trembled. Densely packed tiny tentacles sprouted from within him, and in the blink of an eye, under everyone's astonished gazes, he transformed into an ugly and bizarre humanoid creature.
