Free Web NovelChapter 456: Chapter 268: ’Flesh Mountain’ and Killing Efficiency
Originally, thousands, nearly tens of thousands, of creatures had appeared, crawling out from around Lanxi City like a veritable mountain and sea.
But now, all the creatures were rushing toward the drone. It wasn’t just them; even the Poisonous Soaring Ghosts flying one or two kilometers high in the sky seemed to be attracted by these profane words.
Instantly, the Poisonous Soaring Ghosts in the sky could no longer maintain their formation. They became like a swarm of bats, instinctively flying toward the drone’s position.
Seeing this, the eyes of Alexander, West, and the others lit up.
Although they didn’t know how Fang Zhen had accomplished this, it seemed to show them a new possibility—a new hope.
"Karen! Keep the drone under control! Lure them to an open area. Don’t fly too high or too low, and don’t let the creatures below grab it," Fang Zhen shouted.
As he gave Karen these instructions, Fang Zhen activated a second drone.
This drone wasn’t loaded with gasoline, but with a prepared batch of the Blood Burst Secret Medicine.
This was the liquid version of the Blood Burst Secret Medicine that Fang Zhen had requested from the Whig Society’s Alchemists, not the upgraded, paste-like version developed later.
In its liquid form, the Blood Burst Secret Medicine could be sprayed from the drone.
On the ground, whether they were Ghost-faced Spiders, Abnormal Ghosts, or other creatures—including the Poisonous Cannon Fiends and Black Armored Fierce Ghosts—all uncontrollably scrambled toward the drone Karen was piloting. Meanwhile, the Poisonous Soaring Ghosts in the sky were also flying this way.
The creatures converging from the sky and the ground created an utterly spectacular scene. It was like a mighty army on the march, or a scene from a nature documentary of tens of thousands of wildebeests stampeding across the savanna.
However, set against the night sky, the sight was terrifying and grotesque—after all, these creatures were monsters.
Karen now piloted the drone away from the city walls. He was in much better shape; his Spirit had stabilized, and he was no longer affected by the profane words.
Fang Zhen, meanwhile, piloted the second drone in pursuit. It flew at a higher altitude, several dozen meters above the one Karen was operating.
Once Karen flew the drone to an open area in front of Lanxi City, Fang Zhen gave another order: have the drone hover in place, about ten to twenty meters above the ground.
The drone hovered in the air.
As soon as the drone was hovering, the creatures below began to surge upward.
In no time at all, Fang Zhen witnessed a bizarre spectacle: the creatures began clambering over one another, stacking themselves higher and higher, all while grabbing and kicking their own kind down. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Through this frenzied action, a small mountain of flesh quickly formed on the flat ground.
It was a literal mountain of creatures. Thousands upon thousands of them scrambled up its sides, trampling their own kind to get higher. The ones at the bottom were likely crushed to death.
It resembled a giant, writhing anthill, constantly growing taller.
In the blink of an eye, the small mountain grew to be nearly a dozen meters high. The sight was as spectacular as it was nauseating, enough to trigger a sense of intense revulsion and trypophobia.
Meanwhile, the Poisonous Soaring Ghosts in the sky seemed to have located the Profane Words: Evil Power Blood Essence Stone. They flew steadily toward the hovering drone, and some were already getting close.
The hovering drone had gathered nearly ten thousand creatures from the surrounding area, forming a spectacular mountain of flesh that seemed to connect the sky and the ground.
’What’s the next step?’
"These Poisonous Soaring Ghosts are coming! My drone might not be fast enough to get away from them!" Anxious desperation was written all over Karen’s face.
Karen understood just how effective the drone was. It was an incredible tool for concentrating the creatures, but he had no way to control them once they were gathered. The Poisonous Soaring Ghosts in particular posed a huge threat to the drone.
"Hold steady," Fang Zhen said. "Just focus on controlling the drone and keeping the creatures below contained in one area. You can leave the rest to me."
His second drone was now in position, hovering above the one that dangled the Blood Essence Stone.
At that moment, from high above—several dozen meters above the lower drone—Fang Zhen began to spray the Blood Burst Secret Medicine.
Fang Zhen had activated the drone’s crop-dusting mode. This function was designed to atomize pesticides, spraying them downward in a fine mist.
Using this mode, Fang Zhen turned the Blood Burst Secret Medicine into a red mist. Like the sulfurous smoke of Hell, crimson clouds began to drift downward.
The blood mist drifted down like crimson fluff, settling directly onto the small mountain composed mostly of Abnormal Ghosts. Within the writhing mass, the creatures began to inhale the atomized Blood Burst Secret Medicine. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Even when broken down into fine particles and inhaled, the Blood Burst Secret Medicine was still effective on the Abnormal Ghosts.
One by one, the bodies of the Abnormal Ghosts began to swell, their chest cavities expanding rapidly. Then, POP! POP! POP! Like a string of firecrackers, or like stick insects being crushed in one’s hand, their bodies burst open with a series of wet bangs, splattering flesh and blood everywhere.
