143: An opportune mission from the Evil Spirit King! Harvest the Heart-Piercing Insects!

Su Lie looked at his personal panel.

His Lifespan increased from 247 to 248 years.

His level became 19, and the experience needed for the next level rose to 10,000 points.

Current experience points: 1,775.

His attribute values increased by an average of 100 points.

[Life: 10,400; Spirit: 22,829; Endurance: 5,300; Speed: 94,298;]

[Charm: 4,100; Luck: 4,100; Authority: 4,100]

Su Lie's free attribute points increased from 747 to 1,247.

After a simple calculation.

From entering the underground tunnel until now.

He had killed a total of 5,159 monsters.

However.

Because the massive casualties this time resulted from the effects of the Wonder-Scent Burst-Thud Fruit.

Therefore.

The speed attribute bonus Su Lie obtained through kills made with the Mist Pistol was only 16,770 points.

This gain came from the 868 monsters he hunted at the beginning and the 238 monsters hunted within the tunnel.

The deaths of the remaining 4,053 monsters did not provide this bonus.

As a result.

The flight speed attribute of Su Lie's Mist Pistol Skill increased from 70,697 meters per second to 87,467 meters per second.

The number of god-tier basic resource treasure chests he obtained was 1,087.

Su Lie briefly calculated the gains from this venture.

Just as he was about to look around again.

The Little Skeletons had already quickly cleared the monster crystals from the ground in batches.

One small squad separated from the main force and headed to the area ahead to pick up the monster crystals.

Seeing this, Su Lie waved his hand, urging the Little Skeletons of the Exploration Team to quickly follow.

Soon.

Su Lie approached the underground station.

He was surprised to find that this place was different from the pitch-black tunnels around it.

Not only were the lights in the underground station still on.

But even the surrounding walls were covered with clusters of crystals emitting purple light.

Through his Yin-Yang Eyes, Su Lie saw.

The soul-type monsters inside the station had densely formed a Legion.

They were all monsters that had undergone severe distortion, radiating immense resentment.

Such a large group of resentment entities gathered together released negative emotions that made the surrounding environment a dozen degrees darker than usual, and the air was more than twenty degrees colder.

This caused a thick layer of frost to condense on the surrounding ground.

In Su Lie's line of sight, he could even see surging, boiling Mist of resentment, like an ocean, floating among the group of monsters.

And within it was a majestic power of Mist pollution!

Standing in front of the soul monsters were numerous distorted zombies, zombie animals, tyrants, and strange plant monsters covered in growing flora, all with green glowing eyes.

They stood inside the station, staring at Su Lie with dreadful menace.

Crash!

Suddenly, the monsters parted, revealing a passage.

At the end of the passage was a burly Ghost King sitting on a bone throne.

The Ghost King was a monster in a half-physical, half-soul state.

He possessed strong, flesh-and-blood lower limbs and a soul-state upper body.

The Ghost King's left hand was a human limb, delicate and snow-white, and next to him, a large saber, about 1.5 meters long, was stuck upright into the ground.

His right hand was in a soul state, with a swirling light blue fireball boiling in his palm.

The Ghost King's head was that of a doll, his right eye a burning fireball, and his left eye a blue-glowing crystal.

Half of his face was in a soul state, and his hair was long, thin, and pale, trailing onto the ground, measuring a full three meters in length.

Su Lie discovered through the passive Skill Monster Prompt that this Ghost King was 5 levels higher than the Departed Soul in the eye of obsession had stated.

The monsters within this underground station were also Level 20 monsters.

Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong was also sizing up Su Lie, his lips curving slightly as he spoke to Su Lie in a deep, expectant voice: "You are excellent! I appreciate your fighting strength and that of your team! If you are willing to serve as a great general under my command!"

"I, Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong, shall confer upon you the title of Right Hand of the King!"

"You and your Shelter will receive my protection!"

"The resources here are yours to command!"

"All I require is for you to help me hunt down other Survivors and piece together a complete and real physical body for me!"

Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong's voice rang out: "This King shall also grant you the power of Undying!"

This caused the monster Legion inside the underground station to let out wailing cries.

At this moment.

A prompt appeared before Su Lie again.

[Buzz!]

[Congratulations, you have successfully triggered an Opportunity Mission!]

[Opportunity Mission: Become the Right Hand of the King for Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong. You will be converted into the Undead Race, receive all the resources collected by Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong, and gain a monster Legion, but you will completely lose your freedom.]

[Note: If you accept the demands of Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong, the Opportunity Mission you triggered via the eye of obsession will fail.]

[Note: Once the Opportunity Mission fails, you will face the punishment of the mist rule.]

[Note: The first failure penalty only requires paying 100,000 Mist Points to complete.]

[Note: If you accept the demands of Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong, you will receive a reward of Mist Points.]

[Note: You may refuse the demands of Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong, but you will face the siege of 20,000 Mist Monsters in the underground station.]

"Damn! This can trigger an Opportunity Mission too?"

Su Lie couldn't help but complain.

Immediately after.

He raised his head and shouted loudly: "Life and Death Moment!"

Clatter!

Hearing Su Lie's code word, the Little Skeletons immediately took the Backpacks off their backs and reached inside.

Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong, seated on the throne, frowned upon hearing this: "You refuse my goodwill! You deserve death!"

As he spoke, he grabbed the large saber to his left.

Crash!

In an instant, the monsters angrily turned toward Su Lie.

"Throw!"

Su Lie did not shoot, but instead threw the Strange Fragrant Chestnuts he had prepared from his ruyi pouch.

Since this item could also affect soul-type monsters.

Then today was the day for him to massively harvest heart-piercing bug molts.

Anyway.

He could also gain experience by killing the Heart-Piercing Insects.

Rattle!

In an instant, the Little Skeletons and Su Lie threw out a large quantity of Strange Fragrant Chestnuts.

The aroma emanating from the Strange Fragrant Chestnuts completely lured the monsters into chaos.

They completely ignored the command of Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong and rushed desperately toward the Strange Fragrant Chestnuts.

Some monsters even began tearing at each other, only for the Strange Fragrant Chestnuts they were fighting over to be stolen by a third monster.

Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong was stunned. He sniffed the scent in the air, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face: "What delicious food!"

Bang!

Immediately.

Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong's eyes widened, and he suddenly stood up. His immense prestige radiated outward, successfully halting the chaos of some monsters: "Damn it! How dare you privately snatch such a good thing instead of offering it to this King! You deserve death!"

Just as Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong was about to charge into the chaotic monster crowd with his saber to seize the Strange Fragrant Chestnuts.

Bang!

A brilliant light, wrapped in a blast of air, instantly arrived at the Ghost King's brow.

Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong froze.

The Soul Dissolving Bullet instantly drilled into his forehead.

Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong's Spirit value was as high as 50 million.

This strike did not directly dissolve his soul, but it caused soul damage, plunging him into a state of unconsciousness.

About 10 seconds later.

Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong suddenly opened his eyes.

A look of confusion and bewilderment flashed in his eyes.

He looked up suspiciously at the chaotic scene before him, and a thought surfaced in his mind: "What happened? Where am I? What is this place?"

The dissolving effect of the Soul Dissolving Bullet had affected a part of his soul containing key memories.

Causing him to temporarily forget how this chaos had started.

Just as Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong raised his eyes to look at Su Lie.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Continuous gunshots rang out.

Along the trajectory of the Soul Dissolving Bullet, large numbers of monsters were swept away.

In a flash.

Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong fell into a state of unconsciousness again.

The attack of more than a dozen consecutive Soul Dissolving Bullets caused Evil Spirit Ghost King You Tong's aura to weaken further and further.

At this point.

The Little Skeletons also simultaneously pulled the triggers on the other distorted monsters.

The first three batches of monsters that ate the Strange Fragrant Chestnuts had been successfully infected by parasitize from the Heart-Piercing Rampant Insects, and the Heart-Piercing Rampant Insects had quickly grown, bursting through the monsters' bodies.

Numerous bullets slammed into the heads of the Heart-Piercing Rampant Insects, killing them one by one.

Leaving behind the heart-piercing bug molts and monster crystals scattered across the ground.

Su Lie ignored the Ghost King's status, quickly moved his muzzle, and aimed at the remaining monsters...
