Jiang Li stepped forward, facing several ghouls that lunged at her simultaneously, and seamlessly delivered the long saber in her hand with fluid motion.
In that instant, the hum of the blade overlapped with the wails of the ghouls.
The long saber, spitting silver light and shadow, tore through the darkness, leaving behind streaks of solidified silver light arcs in the air.
The ghouls swept by the light arcs froze in mid-air, then exploded in an instant. Their black blood, like thick ink, shattered into countless ink dots scattering in the darkness.
Then, brilliant silver light intertwined and shot out, slashing across the four walls of the corridor, leaving behind deep cracks.
Jiang Li moved forward rapidly, tearing through urban legend as if ripping through layers of thin paper, effortlessly ripping apart one after another wherever she went.
Without question, without hesitation.
Her blade was fast and sharp, but what was even more terrifying was the poison on the blade.
Even deities would suffer if the Hydra's poison invaded their bodies.
The silver light flashed and disappeared, like a shooting star.
In an instant, Jiang Li had charged from one end of the corridor to the other. The few remaining ghouls huddled in the corners, hesitant and ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) trembling.
These pitiable creatures, controlled by higher-level urban legend, might be life-threatening beasts to ordinary people, but they were so vulnerable against truly powerful Psychic.
However, this was just a test.
The pitch-black shadow covering the corridor had not dispersed. Jiang Li knew very well that the mastermind was still hiding in the dark.
She stopped looking at the ghouls, raised her wrist, brought the blade down, sheathed her saber, and scanned the surrounding darkness with eyes as cold as ice.
"Come out, the test is over!"
Jiang Li called out softly, but received no response. Just then, her phone in her pocket vibrated.
Encrypted file decryption complete.
She raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, silently took out her phone, and opened the file.
Since you don't want to show yourself, don't want me to know the content of the file, and don't want me to take it away, then I will have a good look at what exactly is written inside!
Thinking this, Jiang Li unlocked her phone and opened the file. After clearly seeing the content of the file, she paused slightly.
She had thought a file so strictly guarded would be something important, but she didn't expect it to contain only a few diary entries and some audio files.
She frowned slightly while staring at her phone, then opened the first log entry and read it in a low voice.
"May 22nd, Big King's weight gain progress has been severely hindered; it is no longer eating.
I think this is very likely because it heard us discussing by the pigsty that we would make it into a specimen after securing new investment that day.
Pigs are very smart animals; they can read human expressions, and some can even understand what people say.
I am certain Big King understood our conversation that day. When I looked at it, its eyes darted around, and it even smiled at me, its long white tusks curved and protruding from its mouth."
Big King? Jiang Li frowned after reading the first log entry. She hadn't seen a specimen with this name in the Pig King Specimen Exhibition Room just now, but from the content of the log, that empty glass tank was perhaps prepared for it.
After pondering for a few seconds, she opened the second file, which was an audio file with a title full of garbled characters. freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"Beep—!"
As she lightly touched the file with her fingertip, the sound of two men arguing immediately came from the phone.
"I told you long ago, that unknown formula has a problem! It was just luck that nothing happened in the past few years!"
"Shut up! If I hadn't gotten this formula from northern Tibet, could we have competed with Hope Meat Factory? Could we have raised a Pig King? If we couldn't raise a Pig King, could we have gotten so much sponsorship?"
"Hmph! You talk so righteously, but I have never heard of feeding pigs a mixture of animal carcasses and heavy metals! The pork raised this way will kill people, do you know that?"
"What mixture? That's divine medicine, divine medicine, do you understand?"
Hearing this, Jiang Li frowned.
This description sounds like... some kind of sinister Alchemy potion?
Is this the so-called meat?
As she was thinking, she suddenly felt the surrounding shadows deepen. Something was stirring in the darkness, emitting waves of oppressive Spiritual Energy fluctuations, as if trying to force and threaten her to stop this offensive behavior.
"Hmph—!"
Jiang Li let out a cold nasal sound, her delicate body trembled slightly, and a phantom of a centaur with fur as white as the moon flashed behind her. The oppressive feeling instantly vanished, and she continued to open the next file to read.
"June 17th, for such a small investment, the factory director is acting arbitrarily, it's ridiculous!
The people from Hope Meat Factory always think we have some special scientific research achievements. This time, they even went as far as to send someone to sneak into the factory area to steal, which is absurd.
Two absurd things came together, and finally, something happened.
The thief accidentally fell to his death in Big King's pigsty.
No, perhaps he wasn't dead when he fell, it's just that by the time we found him he was already...
Damn it!
I told the factory director long ago that we couldn't feed the pigs that stuff anymore. Once they taste raw meat, they won't forget it!"
Jiang Li finished reading the second log entry and was about to open the second audio file when a low roar suddenly came from the other end of the corridor. It sounded like a rampaging wild boar, mixed with heavy breathing sounds.
The next moment, sparks flew from the cold floor of the corridor, and a sharp, high-pitched sound erupted, tearing through the deathly silence.
A huge body was galloping in the darkness, screaming loudly. Iron hooves fell, bringing waves of thunderous sound.
The dense, foul Spiritual Energy was suddenly suffocating. The roaring hoofbeats were like drums counting down the approach of death.
In the darkness, a piercing sound suddenly burst forth.
Jiang Li drew her saber without warning and slashed forward. The blade collided with something abnormally hard in the darkness, sparks flew, and the grinding sound of metal on stone, grating on the teeth, suddenly appeared.
The blade and the Strange Tale's tusks clashed head-on. The tip of the saber flicked upwards, and Jiang Li actually felt a numbness in her tiger's mouth.
She used the force to leap into the air, rolled backward, and the moment her hand touched the ground, the silver armor silently appeared. As she landed, the armor rippled, and her lower body transformed into the strong body of a horse.
Her hooves struck the ground, azure and silver intertwined, carrying the aura of a strong wind, sweeping away the surrounding filth.
Just then, a strange feeling suddenly rose quietly within Jiang Li's body. Following this, the black sun totem on her back glowed faintly and flickered restlessly.
She only felt her Spiritual Energy circulation stagnate, and her movements also stiffened. The next moment, a heavy iron hook whistled out from the darkness and struck her chest squarely.
Her breastplate dented and deformed, and she was instantly sent flying backward. Her body crashed through a large gap in the wall, falling from the high building, arcing through the air, and crashing heavily onto the open ground in front of the building.
"Boom—!"
Jiang Li landed with a loud crash. Enduring the intense pain in her body, she stood up again, her face pale, her lips stained with blood showing a hint of strangeness.
Feeling the black sun totem on her back stirring restlessly, a sense of unease slowly rose in her heart. freewēbnoveℓ.com
There are people from the Eclipse Society in the South Suburb Slaughterhouse. They have broken the seal and are conducting that ritual in the dark!
Jiang Li thought with a heavy heart, her fingertips unconsciously moving towards the baogang cang owl badge hidden beneath her armor.
Even if I'm discovered acting without authorization and punished by the higher-ups, it's better than letting those damned guys from the Eclipse Society succeed. Jiang Li thought.
Once they succeed, an existence of A-Level or higher will be born using the contaminated land of the South Suburb Slaughterhouse, just like she had personally experienced before.
But individuals like her, who endured the erosion of the night and became Psychic, are ultimately a minority. Those born from that kind of ritual are highly likely to be urban legend.
"Damn it, die for me, die for me!"
Just as Jiang Li's fingertips were about to touch the baogang cang owl badge, a soft shout suddenly came from a distance.
Following the sound, she saw a white-haired young girl, carrying a big man who was more than twice her size on one shoulder. While running wildly on the roof of the factory building, leaving behind afterimages, she constantly took something out of her pocket and threw it at the three massive creatures behind her that resembled wild boars.
Whenever those three urban legend were hit by the things thrown by the young girl, a cloud of purplish-black smoke would rise around their bodies, and then they would stumble as if drunk.
"That's..." Jiang Li concentrated her Spiritual Energy to cover her eyes and looked at the things in the young girl's hand. Immediately, her mouth twitched slightly, "calamity water? This..."
Where did she get so much calamity water?
With such a large quantity, she is definitely not just a transporter; she is undoubtedly a producer.
This woman has a big problem!
While Jiang Li was thinking, a strong gust of wind suddenly struck from above. The next moment, a Strange Tale, half-human and half-pig, covered in flesh tumors resembling human faces, descended from the sky and threw a huge, sharp iron hook at her.
She hastily dodged. The iron hook slammed down, dragged by those pale large hands, plowing through the ground and leaving deep furrows.
————
Zhang Dexian was dumbfounded watching Lu Yibei constantly taking out calamity water and throwing it at the urban legend behind her as if it cost nothing.
This Miss is really...
Too despicable, too rich, too disgusting!
"What are you looking at? Didn't you say you had a killing move? You've been preparing for more than ten minutes, and you're still not ready?"
"And you want to learn from others to be a Long Aotian? How many times have I told you, Long Aotian can't choose professions with long casting times, it's not cool enough!"
Lu Yibei's voice sounded in his ears, and Zhang Dexian snapped out of his shock, quickly saying, "Rea-ready! I'll just..."
Before Zhang Dexian finished speaking, Lu Yibei suddenly stopped, turned around, made a step-back shooting motion, and threw him towards the urban legend that were relentlessly pursuing them.
"Ready? Then you go! It's decided, Big Muscle Guy!"
Zhang Dexian, "???"
This, I thought we were already friends, how could she...
After a moment of shock, his sturdy body had already begun to fall towards the three urban legend. Feeling the gradually approaching Spiritual Energy fluctuations below, he snapped back to his senses, quickly took out the fully charged Vajra Pestle from his pocket, and aimed it at his chest.
"Puff puff puff—!"
He stabbed three times, and countless golden lightning bolts erupted from his body, filling the air with light.
Watching Zhang Dexian descend from the sky, looking as strong as a war god, Lu Yibei nodded with satisfaction.
I threw him out. If we win this, the credit is at least 80-20, I get eighty, he gets twenty!
