Chapter 141: Second Layer of the Lingmu (1800+)

"Kaier is dead! He killed Kaier!"

Watching Kaier's corpse fall, the few Extraordinary followers were stunned.

The next moment, without a word, they fled toward the entrance of the Lingmu.

Aaron pursued them while reloading his Zoulun, a faint smile appearing on his face: "Next is hunting time!"

Pursuing those Extraordinaries who only possessed First or Second Layer Primordial Substance was a fairly simple process.

After a few gunshots, Aaron deliberately left behind one captive who was pale and nearly scared to the point of wetting himself, having wiped out the rest of the pursuers.

"Spare me, spare me!"

The "Wuxing Bianzhi" after his promotion told him that this was a material rich in pure Spirituality and of high value.

"It... it presents an inverted Pyramid structure, with about three layers, or more... The first layer has the largest area, but it has been mostly cleared by us, with only sporadic Evil Spirits remaining... The second layer often involves facing more than one Evil Spirit and is extremely dangerous; we didn't even have time to collect the corpses of our fallen companions... Between the third layer and the second layer lies a Bridge of the Dead, and we have been working hard to break through there, but unfortunately without success... The most precious burials are in the third layer, but they should also be the most dangerous and lethal... You promised, you are going to let me go, you swore an oath."

The thin man's pale complexion grew even paler due to blood loss, and as he watched the direction Aaron left in, his hands gradually became limp.

Aaron asked curiously.

Aaron spoke.

"There couldn't be any harvest in the first layer, it's all been harvested clean, but perhaps there are some treasures in the second layer?"

Aaron looked at the massive pit of corpses.

Just then, he saw an illusory Evil Spirit attracted by the scent of blood and death, and it couldn't help but let out a desperate shriek...

"A relatively high-level Spirit World Creature..."

The thin man finally said aloud.

"Our leader..." The thin man swallowed his saliva: "Although he is Third Primordial Substance, he possesses a 'Non-human Grade' Magical Item. He is not at the camp; I heard... he went to a branch of the Lotus Eater Society."

Aaron nodded, but he was exactly trying to lure this Evil Spirit!

"I used Evil Spirit Curse Bullet earlier, plus the aura of these finished products... If that's not enough, there's also my bloodline... Monsters that have turned into true Evil Spirits are all very interested in similar bloodlines, because they are excellent targets for devouring and possession!"

"Hmm, this second layer is still dangerous; at night, even those Bone Worship Society members don't dare to come down... After all, there might be Evil Spirits lurking!"

"That executioner Kaier is also a pauper; he didn't even have a single Magical Item on him, it's simply shameful!"

According to the thin man's intelligence, after passing through the gate guarded by two gargoyles and walking downward for a distance, one arrived at the second layer of the Lingmu.

On the walls of this passage, pale palms stretched out one after another.

"The Bone Worship Society is an affiliated force of the Lotus Eater Society..." The thin man confirmed that the Extraordinary before him lacked some common knowledge: "Our leader only came to excavate this Lingmu after receiving orders from the Lotus Eater Society... It is said that as long as this mission is completed, the merit we have accumulated will be enough to obtain the reward of a Non-human Grade Secret Transmission..."

"Purification!"

"I... we belong to the 'Bone Worship Society', and the leader is Lord 'Man-Bone' Sipeite!"

"The leader's right-hand men are 'Executioner' Kaier and 'Owl' Aolifu! But Kaier has already been killed by you..."

"No wonder the Bone Worship Society hasn't been able to clear it out for so long..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After three aimed shots, that transparent tentacle exploded inch by inch, and the thick darkness suddenly became much thinner.

Aaron thought for a moment and asked the final question: "Tell me everything you know about this Lingmu!"

"What force do you belong to? Tell me everything you know about this Lingmu! Then I will let you go."

Aaron made a hoarse sound.

Ordinary Evil Spirits could not withstand this light of Purification at all, but at the bottom of the corpse pit, deep darkness was surging.

"Even they don't dare to enter the second layer at night, only arranging for people to patrol the first layer..."

Transparent, octopus-like tentacles emerged, and countless eyes opened abruptly where the original suction cups had been.

Aaron chose a direction at random and walked into the darkness, his brow furrowing.

"Hmm, I'll let you go."

"The Absolute Observer located behind the multiple veils!"

"What relationship do you have with the Lotus Eater Society?"

"If I weren't an Extraordinary of 'Yao' and didn't have Radiant Bullet, I'm afraid it would be a bit troublesome..."

Aaron summoned a touch of Purification light, which landed on the transparent, illusory octopus tentacles, making them even more illusory.

The thin man's tone carried disbelief; he could not imagine that the other party would start a war like this without even knowing what force they belonged to!

"Sipeite? What Primordial Substance is he? Where is he?"

The pale, short, and thin man had been shot in the abdomen and was constantly losing blood; looking at the approaching Aaron, a clear look of begging appeared on his face.

And... let's see if he can survive to get out first!

"Wait..."

As for this person, he had not discovered his true appearance, so he could be killed or spared.

"So... I must find a way to break the situation, and I have long known this method."

At this moment, his body was constantly shrouded in a layer of white light, bathing in it as if he were a deity.

Aaron activated his 'Light Shepherd' ability, summoning the light of Purification.

In an instant, those pale, transparent palms curled back; some that were slow to escape were even evaporated and burned, leaving behind streaks of pale water marks.

At the same time, the Zoulun aimed at the opponent and began to fire!

Radiant Bullet!

Aaron scanned the tomb chamber and found it relatively calm; he took a special magazine from his pocket and removed five 'Evil Spirit Curse Bullet's covered in three-dimensional twisted patterns, exposing them to the air.

Aaron complained while entering a tomb chamber, where he saw a large number of buried slaves.

"This place... can simply be called a nest of Evil Spirits."

He didn't dare to lie, firstly because of the deterrence of Aaron's previous ruthless killing, and secondly because the other party had been tossing a gold coin in his hand.

That might be some Magical Item capable of detecting lies!

"Who is in charge of the camp now?"

To save his life, the thin man leaked all the information he had heard.

Aaron's figure instantly exploded, dissipating into a phantom, while he himself hurried toward the entrance of the second level.

After surveying his surroundings for a moment, he began to silently recite the honorific name:

"The Creator above the Creator!"

"Furthermore, the people from the Bone Worship Society up there are definitely blocking me, and they might have even notified their leader, that Sipeite who wields a 'Non-human Grade' Strange Object!"

Around the pit of remains lay several shriveled corpses wearing modern clothing; they were likely deceased members of the Bone Worship Society, as well as the Extraordinaries who had been lured here by the 'Beast' before.

"However... I am not here to scavenge for junk."

Each and every pair belonged to a vengeful spirit!

"Radiance!"

Aaron arrived at the bottom of the pit of remains and picked up a few pieces of crystalline, jade-like bones.

"Spirit of falsehood wandering in the unknown, Absolutely Neutral Existence, Silent Observer!"

Aaron's own Prayer echoed in his ears, but he did not respond, instead waiting quietly for something...
