207. Chapter 207: Eradicate the Root, Great War Breaks Out

Xu Wang stared at him: "Ice Wall creatures? They've already gotten in?"

Su Jinlong nodded: "Yes, their danger far exceeds that of Ghosts."

"Dr. Xiao has now developed a Spirit Potion that can transform a Ghost Tamer into a half-Ice Wall Creature, immune to Ghost abilities."

"I need you—I need you to report this to the Official with me."

Su Jinlong is now officially wanted by the Official.

Dr. Xiao has blamed all the crimes on him and the Ma Family; the Ma Family cannot be touched by the Official for now, but that doesn't mean Su Jinlong is safe.

So now not only the Official is hunting him, but Dr. Xiao and even members of the Ma Family are after him.

If caught, it's a death sentence.

The only path left to him is to team up with the Demon Bear, eliminate Dr. Xiao, and have Xu Wang hand over everything to the Official to clear his name.

Only then will the Official protect him again.

In Great Xia, no one's power can shake the Official.

Xu Wang looked at the Demon Bear and clenched his lips: "You won't kill me?"

Su Jinlong patted his shoulder and smiled: "I have no reason to kill you, and the Demon Bear has no reason to kill his own sheep."

"Sheep?" Xu Wang asked, puzzled.

He didn't understand why Su Jinlong compared him to a sheep.

Su Jinlong explained: "To the Demon Bear, the entire world is his pasture; those of us who can generate Fear are the cattle and sheep in his pasture. He needs a constant supply of beef and milk, so he won't slaughter all the cattle and sheep at once."

"In fact, he needs to protect humanity in a different way, so that humans can survive in this world."

Hss—

Hearing this, Xu Wang sucked in a sharp breath, truly terrified by the Demon Bear's philosophy.

He also secretly admired the Demon Bear—could this really be a Ghost and not a human wearing a Ghost's skin? He's only a Level 6 Ghost; though powerful, the Official isn't truly afraid of him.

After all, the Official can kill Level 7 Weirds.

S-Rank Ghost Tamers and A-Rank Ghost Tamers can single-handedly kill Level 6 Ghosts—who gave him the courage to treat the entire world as his pasture?

"You mean… I… does that mean I have to join you?"

The Demon Bear crouched down, smiled faintly at him, and blew two streams of Spiritual Qi from his nostrils straight onto his face.

Messed up his childlike haircut.

Su Jinlong chuckled awkwardly: "Yes, you can choose—either run around naked like Chen Tang, or join us."

Xu Wang clenched his lips.

Su Jinlong added: "You understand my goal now, so joining us isn't betraying Ghostly Faith—in fact, after you join, the Demon Bear will give you the Wasteland Eye, and your Strange Revival will be completely purged."

"Completely purged—your strength will rise another level."

Xu Wang smiled helplessly: "Do I even have a choice anymore?"

He agreed.

This wasn't betraying Ghostly Faith—it was protecting Great Xia in a different way.

At least after resolving all the crises, he would still stand against the Demon Bear for Great Xia.

The Demon Bear didn't care.

He reached out and pulled out a Wasteland Eye, the size of a fist.

Xu Wang's mind filled with question marks: "You want me to swallow this?"

Su Jinlong nodded.

Swallow a fist-sized eye? How the hell do you even do that?

As soon as he brought the Wasteland Eye near his mouth, it seemed sentient—suddenly drilling itself inside.

Xu Wang collapsed to his knees, clutching his throat in agony. He could clearly feel a slippery thing rolling in his throat, then sliding downward.

The thing was scorching hot, releasing a kind of Spiritual Qi inside him.

Then—

Black smoke began to drift from Xu Wang's seven orifices; his physique began to improve.

The scars left by Strange Revival started healing; his old ailments were cured.

The Wasteland Eye could even cure all his diseases.

The eyeball crawled to his heart, then clamped onto it, pumping Spiritual Qi and blood throughout his body with every heartbeat, while crushing the original Ghost beneath it.

In moments, it was over.

Xu Wang stood up again, feeling the changes in his body, his breath now stronger.

"Incredible—utterly incredible—the Demon Bear's power has this effect?"

This was a medical miracle.

It completely purged his Revival burden and even cured minor and major illnesses like herniated discs.

If the Demon Bear could fully stand on humanity's side, what would happen?

"Congratulations—you're one of us now."

"You're immortal now. As long as My Lord lives, you will never die—eternal life!"

Jiang Tang patted his shoulder.

At this moment, Xu Wang was filled with excitement—he never imagined becoming a Ghost Slave would come with this benefit.

Other Ghost Slaves suffered terribly.

Becoming a Ghost Slave meant being tortured by Ghost Energy until unrecognizable, slowly drained of all strength, reduced to a monstrous half-human, half-Ghost thing.

But the Demon Bear?

It has no side effects at all; the only thing to watch out for is not to defy the Demon Bear, that's all.

Zhang Yi stood up and glanced toward the distance: "Alright, it's time to go help. Xing Tao has already brought the Experimental Subjects over. Tonight will be a major battle—aim to kill every last one of Dr. Xiao's people."

Saying this, the Hell Gate opened again, and Zhang Yi stepped forward first.

Su Jinlong and the other followed closely behind.

For the first time entering the Hell Gate, Xu Wang felt uneasy and was still confused about tonight's events.

"What do you mean? Are we really going to fight Dr. Xiao tonight?"

Su Jinlong nodded: "Lü Liang's illness was turned into a monster by one of Dr. Xiao's Spirit Potions. The Demon Bear ordered Xing Tao to steal all the Experimental Subjects. How could Dr. Xiao possibly ignore this? He's already sent people to hunt them down."

"Soon we'll be there. Tonight, either he dies, or we all die together." Su Jinlong gritted his teeth, his gaze fierce.

Dr. Xiao's ideology and twisted logic are impossible to realize in today's society.

Xu Wang took a deep breath—it really was true.

"Xing Tao, where are you running to!"

As Xing Tao and the other fled, a Ghostly Spear suddenly pierced through the air and stabbed straight into the middle of the road.

Immediately, the Ghostly Spear dissolved into countless tiny poisonous insects, forming a net that surged toward Xing Tao and the other.

Xing Tao narrowed his eyes, dropped low, grabbed the ground with both hands, and lifted a massive boulder to block the swarm.

He bent down again and charged forward: "Are we there yet?"

Tang Cai whispered: "We're here!"

Many Night Watchers followed behind, most of them Dr. Xiao's people; as for Su Jinlong's men, they didn't pursue him at all—only trailed from afar, waiting for an opportunity. (End of Chapter)
