Free Web NovelChapter 178: Chapter 178: Gnawing a Paper Man Raw, Stunning the Entire City, Chewing Him Like a Jelly Bean?
The little paper person grabbed the blood-red paper man’s toe and started gnawing on it.
Just like a caterpillar munching on a green leaf.
The little grub buried its head against his body.
It quickly gnawed a large hole in his toe.
Everyone present was dumbfounded at the sight.
The advanced Evil Star that none of them could handle!
Was... was... was... being gnawed on?
’You can fight like that?’
’So this is the true power of an infinite health bar.’
’Enchanting your weapons is out of style, is eating your enemies raw the new meta?’
’What kind of grub-warrior is this thing?!’
"Get off!!"
"Damn it, you damned insect!!!"
The blood-red paper man’s painted eyes turned crimson as it writhed in pain, trying to get the little paper person off!
But its body was too massive.
On top of that, its yin energy was nearly depleted, making the motion of bending over extremely slow.
It couldn’t do a single thing to the little paper person!
She was like a flea!
Every time it tried to swat her, it couldn’t reach!
Whenever it was about to grab the little paper person, she would zip away!
Then she would jump to another spot and start gnawing on its body.
’The elbow tastes like chicken.’
’The belly tastes like bitter melon.’
’The fingernails taste like cilantro...’
Ugh~
She didn’t like cilantro.
The little paper person chewed with disgust.
But she couldn’t bear to spit it out, and swallowed it with a GULP.
Then, she scorched its fingernails with fire.
’That tastes much better!’
’It’s like eating barbecue.’
The blood-red paper man was so disgusted it was going insane!
If it didn’t catch her soon...
...she might even start a hot pot on its body.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
It thrashed and struggled through the slums, as if trapped in a mire.
With every step it took, the earth trembled violently, splitting into a web of cracks. Rubble and dust churned in the turbulent air as its mountain-thick legs stomped about wildly, crushing one dilapidated house after another!
It tried everything!
Scratching, clawing, shaking, jumping...
Nothing could get this little pest off!
Meanwhile, Si Qin and all the other aberrations had it tightly surrounded.
They left it no path of escape!
At that moment, Mr. Luo set up the restrictive formation again.
A giant, blood-red barrier of light enveloped the blood-red paper man.
BAM!
Suddenly, the blood-red paper man collapsed to its knees, its ten fingers digging deep into the cracks in the ground. Dark red paper pulp oozed from between its fingers, and a whimper rumbled in its throat, like a wounded beast tearing at its chains.
"I was wrong... spare me..."
"You can’t kill me. If you do, everyone will die with me."
The blood-red paper man, left with no choice, pleaded and threatened.
At this moment, Yun Zhenyue’s brow furrowed.
’Being threatened feels awful.’
But the situation was indeed tricky.
This blood-red paper man had absorbed nearly half the residents of the Ghostly City.
Xiaoying’s sister was inside it, too.
If they just killed it now...
...all those people might die along with it.
Si Qin, however, took a deep breath and said, "City Lord, give the order to kill it."
"I will bear all the consequences alone."
"We can’t let this menace live."
Mr. Luo also urged, "Please make a decision quickly."
"My restrictive formation can’t hold it for much longer."
Hearing this, Xiaoying looked on from the side with a pleading gaze. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
"My sister..."
At this critical juncture, Yun Zhenyue received a thought from the little paper person in her mind.
It seemed to be telling her not to worry?
...
The blood-red paper man watched the seemingly conflicted Yun Zhenyue.
’My threat worked.’
’But I’m not really surrendering.’
’I’m just scared.’
As the little paper person gnawed frantically, searing, tearing pain shot through its entire body.
At this, its resentment and fury slowly subsided.
A chill ran down its spine.
’I’ve realized something!’
’It feels like a gaze from beyond this dimension is silently watching me.’
’And that one drop I sent out earlier...’
’That City Lord actually possesses a full ten drops of blood!’
’It’s conceivable...’
’...that her relationship with the old City Lord is extremely close.’
’I’ve hidden myself for so many years.’
’Wasn’t it all because I feared the old City Lord’s methods?’
’The old City Lord... a terrifying existence that even at my peak, I wouldn’t have dared to look at directly!’
’Perhaps this was all part of the old City Lord’s plan?’
’Did he intentionally give the blood to this woman so she could ruin my conspiracy?’
’He didn’t even have to show up personally to push me into a corner.’
’Such cunning methods.’
The blood-red paper man lost all will to resist. freewebnovel.cσ๓
’Besides, I have a premonition.’
’Even if I managed to successfully kidnap this City Lord...’
’...the consequences would absolutely be ten thousand times worse than this!’
’For now, I can only pretend to surrender, then look for a chance to escape. After this woman, Yun Zhenyue, leaves, I’ll make a comeback. The Ghostly City will be defenseless then.’
’Endure!’
’I must endure!’
’So what if she gnaws on my body a bit?’
’Where there’s life, there’s hope!’
’As long as she doesn’t gnaw on my...’
Just as the blood-red paper man was thinking this...
BUZZ!
Suddenly, a soul-piercing pain shot through its brain, its mind buzzing and its thoughts thrown into chaos. All it could do was stare with its painted eyes wide as a sound escaped its throat.
"——You!!!"
It was in disbelief.
That little rat had taken advantage of its kneeling and begging for mercy...
...to burrow into the top of its head!
’She’s eating my brain?!’
It should be noted that the reason it had achieved such power was because the paper craftsman who created it had a stroke of genius and deliberately gave it a paper-craft brain.
This paper brain had brought it extraordinary power.
It was also its most vulnerable spot.
"GET OUT OF ME, AHHHH!!!"
The blood-red paper man screamed madly, trying to pull her out.
With a SWISH, it plunged two fingers into its temples!
Instantly, an endless stream of bloody paper shot out!
Like a rain of confetti scattering in a wild wind!
But no matter how deep its fingers burrowed...
...it still couldn’t pull the little paper person out!
As its body grew more and more sluggish, the blood-red paper man was filled with endless regret.
’All this power of mine... ended up paving the way for a paper person of my own creation?’
’If I had known this would be the outcome...’
’...I would never have provoked this City Lord.’
’A simple cup of lemon tea...’
’...actually led to the downfall of an advanced Evil Star like me.’
’What a joke!’
It died with a grievance.
Like a skyscraper caught in a demolition blast...
...it finally collapsed with a ROAR!
...
The little paper person ate its brain!
The scene was too brutal!
Not suitable for children!
This unexpected sight sent everyone present scrambling to get away!
They wanted to avoid being crushed by the blood-red paper man’s falling body.
’Just a moment ago, we were preparing to compromise.’
’And now it’s already over?’
The blood-red paper man’s curtain had fallen.
Everything was calm and peaceful again.
Looking at the collapsed, dead body of the blood-red paper man, everyone present felt a tremor in their hearts.
Si Qin’s eyes were filled with a dazed look.
’The Ghostly City’s greatest menace was dealt with just like that?’
’I barely helped at all.’
’The entire crisis was handled by Yun Zhenyue and her little paper person.’
Half an hour passed.
The little paper person could be seen completely devouring the blood-red paper man.
She rubbed her bloated belly and stretched with satisfaction.
’She must have swallowed those residents too, right?’
Si Qin’s expression was a bit helpless as she thought this.
’This is the best possible outcome.’
However, just then, she saw Yun Zhenyue walk over to the little paper person and say something.
Afterward.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, ptooey, ptooey~"
As if spitting out grape skins.
The little paper person spat out a whole series of the paper figures that the residents had been turned into.
These paper figures were spat onto the ground and quickly returned to their original forms.
They stared at the little paper person, their faces filled with horror.
They had truly felt themselves being eaten just now!
They had probably been just moments from being digested.
Xiaoying, with her sharp eyes, also saw her sister being spat out.
She rushed to hug her.
"Sister!"
"Xiao... Xiaoying?" Xiaoye was completely bewildered.
Her consciousness was still stuck at the moment she was turned into a paper figure.
Now, looking at the countless residents of the Ghostly City around her, she couldn’t make heads or tails of the situation.
"Are you okay? Where’s Mr. Zhuang?"
Hearing her sister’s worried question, Xiaoying subconsciously looked at the little paper person, then pointed to her stomach.
Xiaoye: "(゜Д゜)???"
’What the heck?’
’A grown man like Mr. Zhuang was chewed up like a jelly bean?’
