Chapter 142: Join the fear, the Demon Bear's invitation

~14 min read 2,658 words

Zhang Yi landed, the Wasteland Gaze in the sky opened wide, and the blood-red eyes all over the sky stared fixedly at the three of them.

The ground was trembling, and quite a few cracks began to appear.

With the tearing of the cracks, eyeballs like centipedes and spiders drilled out from the ground cracks, coming toward the three.

Those dense eyeballs looked like a tide; just one look was enough to scare the ordinary person to death.

Fortunately, Su Jinlong stood on the side and slapped him awake.

Otherwise, if he fainted here, he would probably be swallowed by the eyeballs in the next second and become a burial object.

"Demon... Bear." Su Jinlong kept retreating with the two, his eyes staring fixedly at Zhang Yi.

This was already the second time he had encountered the Demon Bear. In just a few days, he felt that the Demon Bear's strength had undergone a qualitative leap.

Last time they met, it didn't seem to have this scythe chain in its hand, right?

The short one was trembling all over, not even daring to look directly at Zhang Yi, only lowering his head and grabbing Su Jinlong's hem: "What kind of monster is this, so scary, Leader, hurry up and solve him, I'm so scared!"

A grown man was scared into an injured girl.

Su Jinlong had a dark face: "Nonsense, if I could beat him, I would have gone up long ago."

While retreating, he looked at the Demon Bear vigilantly.

Zhang Yi stared at Su Jinlong, opened his hands, and roared angrily using the Hell Gate.

The infernal roar came, just like music from hell playing, permeating the entire third-floor mall.

Like a music box.

The strange, low-humming music came, and Su Jinlong's face changed. He clearly felt the ghost in his body start to throb, as if it were about to break out of his body.

He hurriedly let go of Ma Zhen and forcibly suppressed his ghost.

And as soon as he let go, Ma Zhen and this ordinary person were in trouble.

The eyeballs on Ma Zhen's body began to jump, constantly absorbing his blood and fear, turning him into a blood bag.

This ordinary person fell to the ground twitching directly, and eyeballs began to appear all over his body. He had already fallen into the Fear Nightmare, his memories full of mistakes he had made in the past.

Crying, low-humming, and regretful sounds came from his mouth.

Only Su Jinlong was safe and sound.

Zhang Yi didn't talk nonsense with him either, threw the scythe with his left hand, and the Night Crow Storm rotated over.

Forming a black tornado in the air.

Su Jinlong gasped, grabbed Ma Zhen with his left hand, and this ordinary person with his right, and dived into the shadow underground with a swish.

Like diving into deep water to escape.

But Zhang Yi definitely wouldn't let him go, drilling into the Hell Gate to pursue closely.

Su Jinlong's ghost energy consumption was huge, and he had to prevent the invasion of the Wasteland Gaze at any time, feeling powerless, and his speed dropped very quickly.

Just one step away from the exit of the Haunted Domain.

A scythe flew over quickly, and it was about to hook Ma Zhen.

In an instant.

There was one more thing in the shadow, a purple vine.

Slap—

The purple vine whipped violently, knocking Zhang Yi's scythe flying, and at the same time, two other vines with meat thorns went toward Su Jinlong.

The two vines hooked Ma Zhen's thigh instantly, and then splat—

Just like that, it tore off his entire thigh, and fortunately Su Jinlong grabbed it tightly, otherwise Ma Zhen would have fallen into the abyss entirely.

"Damn it, Death Peach Vine, you really deserve to die, hiding in my shadow all along!" Su Jinlong also discovered something was wrong at this moment.

From entering the third floor to rescue survivors and kill ghosts, he had been releasing his shadow ghost.

And the Death Peach Vine had long been hiding inside, waiting for an opportunity.

It was also attracted by the two ghosts on Ma Zhen, so it made a move decisively.

The attack missed.

The Death Peach Vine revealed its true face in the shadow abyss; its true body wasn't a peach tree, but like a huge piece of seaweed.

The seaweed was hung with peaches and human heads, countless purple vines wrapped around the surroundings.

Under the shadow of the deep sea, it was like a water ghost seeking life.

Opening its huge mouth, a wave of water came, and Su Jinlong immediately found his body becoming slightly numb.

And it was precisely this slight numbness that made him reveal a flaw, and a huge mouth flew up from under the shadow, preparing to swallow the three of them in one bite.

If it swallowed Su Jinlong and Ma Zhen, the Death Peach Vine's strength would definitely improve again.

Its ghost slave—God, had already been killed by Zhang Yi, and later Su Jinlong and Ma Zhen would become replacements.

Therefore.

Zhang Yi didn't allow this kind of thing to happen.

A ball of fire appeared out of thin air, Hellfire flew out, supporting its mouth with both hands.

Then it lowered its head and roared at Su Jinlong: "Go!"

This Hellfire wasn't Zhang Yi's creation, but Zhang Yi's observer, Tang Bing.

Tang Bing had his own ghost, and after merging with Hellfire, his strength was Level 5.

Su Jinlong was stunned for a second. He truly didn't expect that the Demon Bear's Hellfire would also help him. Could it be the Demon Bear?

Just as he turned around, he knew he had thought wrong.

The Demon Bear wasn't helping them, but snatching food; he didn't intend to let this fragrant piece of meat go to the Death Peach Vine at all.

The Demon Bear stared at Su Jinlong, then reached out and threw the scythe over, preparing to seize Ma Zhen's life.

But Su Jinlong protected him tightly and didn't give Zhang Yi a chance.

Snap—

Below, Tang Bing's Hellfire got rid of the Death Peach Vine and came to Zhang Yi's side: "Teacher, let go of Ma Zhen. With the Demon Bear here, you can't take him away, and he really isn't worth you risking your life for him like this."

Huh? Su Jinlong was completely stunned, asking in shock. This Hellfire was not only helping him, but also calling him teacher. Could it be a Night Watcher? "Who are you?"

"I am Night Watcher Tang Bing, but that was before. Now I am... I am the Demon Bear's ghost slave."

"These don't matter. You let go of Ma Zhen; the Demon Bear doesn't intend to be your enemy, but if you insist on doing this, he doesn't mind taking your life either."

The flock needs sheepdogs, and a loyal sheepdog is the key to protecting the flock.

Zhang Yi needs to spread fear, which requires them to live.

Until fear spreads across the world.

Su Jinlong looked down at Ma Zhen, who was covered in eyes, and his right hand holding Ma Zhen had already been polluted by some eyeballs.

He shook his head: "No, he is hateful, but I must save him. He is him, and I am me."

"Roar—" Hearing this, Zhang Yi was too lazy to continue talking.

He flew over, and the iron chain came directly toward Su Jinlong this time.

The huge storm blew up waves in the entire shadow Haunted Domain.

Su Jinlong's face was pale, resisting desperately, but he had to protect Ma Zhen, causing the skin on his body to begin to disintegrate inch by inch, like tree bark and scroll paper peeling off.

Buzz, buzz, buzz—suddenly.

A splash of water came from below, and the Death Peach Vine swallowed Zhang Yi in one bite.

The six-meter-tall Demon Bear was swallowed by the Death Peach Vine.

At the last moment, Su Jinlong gritted his teeth, tore open a crack, and sent Ma Zhen out, together with the Demon Bear, being sent into the mouth.

Immediately after, the world seemed to have its lights pulled, and boundless darkness swallowed the Black Capital.

In the empty surroundings, there were only bursts of echoes.

Then, red lights appeared, one, two, three, four.

Until the Demon Bear's entire figure appeared before his eyes, only then lighting up the scene slightly.

Su Jinlong, the Demon Bear, and Hellfire were locked together, locked inside the Death Peach Vine's belly.

This was a special Haunted Domain magnetic field, with no gravity, no air, no anything, like a bottomless universe.

Rule power began to appear in the surroundings.

The Death Peach Vine's first terrifying rule: all ghosts enslaved by it would transfer part of their own rule power to its true body.

It could transport these things to other ghost slaves through its true body.

Su Jinlong's expression was uncomfortable; the energy in the surroundings was squeezing him, his blood seemed to be about to coagulate, and breathing became extremely difficult.

Unlike the Demon Bear, he was always a human.

"Save... save him!" Hellfire Tang Bing turned to look at the Demon Bear and asked earnestly.

The Demon Bear held the scythe and didn't pay attention to him, instead rotating its gaze to look at the Death Peach Vine.

The only plague in the hidden mission; he had sent ghost slaves to search for so long without finding it, and it appeared as soon as he encountered Su Jinlong.

These Ghost Tamers are truly lucky; trouble appears wherever they go.

"Teacher, can you still hold on?" Hellfire Tang Bing, besides being able to open his mouth to ask, had no other way.

Even moving required the Demon Bear's nod; otherwise, he couldn't move even a finger.

Su Jinlong's face was pale, his mouth corners trying to lift: "I'm an old bone, my comrades have all left, and I'm about... at the station."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and raised his head to look at the Demon Bear.

"Demon Bear, I want to know, do you have human consciousness? Are you on the side of ghosts or on the side of humans? We don't understand you."

He had already recorded everything about the Fear Demon Bear and sent it to the authorities as a file.

But the official agency didn't give a clear reply, just ambiguous.

However, there was one thing the authorities mentioned: an old man in the official agency who mastered the Time Ghost had calculated that the Demon Bear was very special; it didn't belong to ghosts, nor did it belong to humans; it seemed to be a neutral creature.

Which meant this was an unknown thing, possibly becoming trouble, possibly becoming a help.

The Demon Bear looked down at him, bursts of low humming permeating from the Hell Gate.

Although only low humming permeated from the Hell Gate, Su Jinlong, who possessed a ghost, could also translate it.

"I don't belong to anything, I only belong to myself. Ghosts, humans, unknown creatures, are all my food. The reason I keep your lives is because my sheep need sheepdogs; I need them to grow up, and you happen to be suitable."

Lambs, sheepdogs.

Su Jinlong heard this and nodded secretly; it was about the same as their analysis.

The Demon Bear is an enemy, just that it won't go on a killing spree like other ghosts for the time being.

What it wants to do is spread the plague and spread fear.

"Wait!" Su Jinlong suddenly froze and asked: "What is an unknown creature?"

"The South Pole Ice Wall has already appeared cracks, and a kind of unknown fear in its mouth has permeated the whole world. This is his original words, although I don't know why he knows." Tang Bing knew this, so he explained it casually.

South Pole Ice Wall creature... Su Jinlong had stayed at headquarters for a while and seemed to have heard some doctor in the laboratory mention it.

The South Pole Ice Wall is a barrier, with terrifying unknown creatures outside, just that as ghost revival becomes more and more serious, the barrier appears loose.

This kind of creature wants to come in, wants to snatch the territory of ghosts and humans.

Humans are the food of ghosts, while this kind of creature feeds on everything.

At the time, he thought it was just a legend, or unknown exploration; now hearing the Demon Bear say it, he had to think seriously: could it be true?

Then in that case, ghost revival all has signs.

"What does it want?" Su Jinlong asked.

Tang Bing looked at the Demon Bear and said faintly: "Become the Fear King, enslave the entire world, spread fear globally, and then compete with the unknown creatures."

Hiss—

This ghost has a big mouth, wanting to enslave the entire world.

Do you know what strength the top Ghost Tamers in the world have? There aren't many S-Level Ghost Tamers in Great Xia, but there definitely aren't few; some people can kill Level 6 ghosts with a wave of their hands.

Some people can even release a hundred ghosts walking at night, terrifying.

The Demon Bear gave a light low hum.

"Become my ghost slave, you will not die or grow old, not worry about ghost revival, and your strength will soar. You will understand the taste of fear;

The Demon Bear issued an invitation.

Su Jinlong shook his head decisively: "Impossible, I am a Night Watcher, a lamp in the midst of thousands of darknesses; I cannot throw myself into the darkness."

The Demon Bear laughed loudly: "When everything becomes darkness, the light might just be the anomaly."

He did not say more, shook his body, and a mass of eyeballs spread out, coming toward Su Jinlong.

Su Jinlong gritted his teeth to resist, but any movement would be met with the backlash of the Spiritual Rule, and at the same time, the power of the Death Peach Vine also caused Zhang Yi's Wasteland Gaze to lose its effect.

Ability: Ineffective.

They had already seen it, only this time the effect was much more powerful.

Immediately after, pus sores appeared inside the Death Peach Vine, along with various Ghosts, coming to kill them, preparing to strangle them within the Haunted Domain of its belly.

The Demon Bear charged up wielding its Scythe; this Ghost Domain Magnetic Field was very special; his Hell Gate was air, but this Haunted Domain was a glass cover; it was impossible to get out directly.

But he was not in a hurry; someone had already come; he had long since made arrangements.

"Eat it, otherwise you will die here." Tang Bing took out an eyeball and handed it to Su Jinlong.

If Su Jinlong were transformed and the Ghost inside him revived, that would be a real problem.

The Ghost revival of a B-Rank Ghost Tamer was very powerful.

The Ineffective had already been activated; his breathing became increasingly difficult, and he even experienced brief fainting spells.

Even though the Demon Bear was an enemy, it could not be allowed to be transformed by the Death Peach Vine, otherwise, that would be a true disaster.

Furthermore, the Demon Bear's Wasteland Gaze was not unbreakable; at least Dr. Xiao seemed to have a way, it was just that Su Jinlong felt he was not reliable.

Swallowing the eyeball, he used most of his Ghost Shadow to protect the eyeball, letting it suppress the Ineffective and the surrounding Ghost power, but not letting it propagate.

One person, one Demon Bear, and one Hellfire were fighting inside the belly of the Death Peach Vine.

Outside.

At the parking lot, a man wearing a long coat walked in carrying a Polang Drum.

There were slight cracks on his face, and eyeballs were squirming beneath the cracks.
