Though a minor mishap occurred because some robot insisted on showing off, fortunately, the nearby wraiths had been cleared, and there was no immediate danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone over there, Anbi!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng pointed at a dark shadow emerging from a cloud of dust behind them and warned Anbi sharply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why he didn’t call Billy—who was closer—it might be because he unconsciously felt Anbi was more reliable...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anbi and Billy moved forward cautiously to investigate, while Ye Qingfeng naturally kept a short distance away from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the dust slowly parted, revealing a tall human silhouette before the three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The safe is at his feet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anbi was the first to notice the safe on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really? Great—we won’t have to search for it!” Billy, seeing Anbi suddenly step forward, abruptly called out in a serious tone, “Wait, Anbi! What are you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Capture him. Recover the safe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Billy suddenly grew serious, raising his firearm and aiming it directly at the man before them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng watched as Billy suddenly raised his gun at the man, and his heart tightened with tension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it because of the safe? And who is this guy?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I... cough... eliminate... ughhhhh...!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng looked up at the man. At the same moment, the white-haired man slowly turned his head—his eyes bloodshot, the other half of his face entirely marked by wraith traits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng’s body trembled uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This... is a human gradually turning into a wraith?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he knew humans with low ether adaptability would transform into wraiths inside the Hollow, knowing it was one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene for the first time shook Ye Qingfeng to his core. Even though he had 80% ether adaptability, would he also become like this if he stayed in the Hollow too long?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was certain... He completely abandoned his previous indifference. Now, he had only one thought: get out of the Hollow as fast as possible—even if he died, he wanted a dignified death!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No! I don’t want to die...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I can’t leave the Hollow alone—I need Anbi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anbi...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng instinctively turned toward Anbi, the one who’d always seemed more reliable on this journey—but his words were cut off by Billy speaking first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I figured. He’s been corrupted by ether—his mutation level is already this deep. Clearly, this guy had no ether adaptability.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Billy was nothing like his usual careless self. For some reason, he now radiated an air of absolute reliability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...ughhhhh! Eliminate... don’t take it... eeehhhh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired man emitted incoherent words and agonized cries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He still has some consciousness left!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anbi watched him warily and warned Billy beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Billy shook his head slightly, his gun still steadily aimed at the man. “Too late. Ether crystals are spread throughout his body. He’s already...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ughhh! Save me... eliminate... eeehhhh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired man’s cries grew louder, his expression twisting into something more monstrous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ether crystals kept emerging from his head and body, and the black sphere covering half his face continued to expand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A core’s forming!” Billy immediately warned, “Damn! He’s about to fully transform into a wraith!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind them, Ye Qingfeng watched as ether crystals crawled across the man’s face until his entire head and back had transformed into a core—completely becoming an unconscious wraith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fear reached its peak at that moment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t afraid of the wraith before him—he was terrified of becoming one himself, an unconscious monster. That he could never accept!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could accept his own death... but never becoming a monster!!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve got it! The System! Right—I still have the System! It won’t just let me die like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘System, hurry up! Take me out! Tell me how to escape the Hollow!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding!... Sorry! Only the Carrot and the Rope Master have the ability to extract the host!】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“S-System! Send me back! Quick! I’ll die! I don’t want to become a monster! Why did I get reincarnated here?! Why me...?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng stood frozen in despair—but the wraith ahead wouldn’t spare him just because he stood still. It wouldn’t hold back on any of the three.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tch, this guy’s tough—Anbi, get ready!” Billy warned Anbi beside him, then turned and shouted to Ye Qingfeng, “Qingfeng, find cover fast!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Ding! Host’s ether adaptability is very high—you won’t be in immediate danger. Don’t give up...】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yeah... you’re right, System...” Ye Qingfeng’s confused gaze gradually hardened with resolve. “Sorry... I said some self-defeating things...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he now had the will to fight on, without any means to defeat the wraith, he obediently followed Billy’s advice and quickly found a hiding spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anbi! Billy, go for it!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wow! This thing looks tough—and it’s even armed? Is this even fair?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hidden nearby, Ye Qingfeng noticed this wraith was different from any he’d seen before—it carried a large sword and had a shield on its other arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is definitely an elite monster?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, Anbi and Billy were strong. Though it took time, they finally defeated the wraith. Just as Ye Qingfeng was about to relax, he saw it rise again—as if fully healed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s so cheap...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It regenerated. Its ether activity is still rising!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anbi watched the situation warily and asked Billy beside her, “Keep attacking?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No! Our current firepower isn’t suited for a war of attrition!” Billy thought quickly and immediately rejected Anbi’s suggestion, firing bullets at the fire extinguishers scattered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go! Qingfeng!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullets shattered the fire extinguishers, instantly spraying thick smoke. Seizing the moment, Billy grabbed Anbi’s arm and shouted for Ye Qingfeng behind the wall to retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wraith reacted instantly, slashing through the smoke with one blow—but it was too late. The three were already gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Billy, I didn’t know you could be this cool when you’re serious!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After successfully escaping, Ye Qingfeng praised the serious-looking Billy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Nah~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Billy struck a ridiculously over-the-top pose. “I’ve always been this cool!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“...”\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-20T20:13:17.554Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","67837095318fc5a28a84a9f602ee2785f03fa0bc21d6eeef3ba63c2b166c1aa9","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-20","love-life-begins-in-new-eliad-chapter-18",280,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flove-life-begins-in-new-eliad-cover.jpg"]
