Free Web NovelChapter 457: Chapter 268: ’Flesh Mountain’ and Killing Efficiency
The mist from the Blood Burst Secret Medicine that Fang Zhen had the drone spray spread over an incredibly wide area. He wasn’t just targeting a single spot below, either; he had the drone continuously circle and spray the surroundings.
Upon inhaling it, the bodies of the Abnormal Ghosts, Ghost-faced Spiders, and other such aberrations would swell up in a matter of seconds. Then, their chests would rupture and explode, blowing their entire bodies to pieces.
Witnessing this incredible scene from a distance, Alexander and the others were shocked beyond belief. They could only stare, dumbfounded, at what was happening.
A small mountain piled high with the bodies of Abnormal Ghosts, exploding and dying in batches of hundreds or thousands per second—Alexander and his men had never seen anything like it.
It wasn’t just them; it was likely that even the long-lived aberrations of the Eternal Night Council had never witnessed such a situation.
The aberrations were completely out of control, all lured away by the Profane Words: Evil Power.
Above the ’mountain of flesh’ formed mainly of Abnormal Ghosts, explosions rang out continuously like firecrackers—POP POP POP POP POP POP—a sound that could be heard even from the distant city walls.
In the span of a single breath, dozens or even hundreds of Abnormal Ghosts and Ghost-faced Spiders were blown apart. This speed and efficiency in slaughtering aberrations was completely unprecedented in the entire Curse Seal World.
When Fang Zhen saw that his tactic was working, his eyes immediately lit up. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
He was, in a sense, prone to sudden flashes of brilliance. In an instant, he had conceived of this tactic: using the Blood Burst Secret Medicine in conjunction with the Profane Words: Evil Power Blood Essence Stone. And now that he’d put it to the test, it was proving incredibly effective.
He continuously sprayed the Blood Burst Secret Medicine, and the Abnormal Ghosts below began to die in droves, by the hundreds and thousands.
The swarm of Poisonous Soaring Ghosts in the sky had now reached the area. They flew straight down, completely ignoring the drone that was dispersing the Blood Burst Secret Medicine. Their only goal was to snatch the Blood Essence Stone hanging beneath the drone, the source of the ceaseless Profane Words.
However, high above, Fang Zhen’s drone was spraying the medicine, forming a ring of blood-red mist that acted like a barrier.
But the Poisonous Soaring Ghosts had lost all reason.
’If they ever had such a thing to begin with.’
Poisonous Soaring Ghosts continuously flew into the circle of blood mist. Within seconds of inhaling the Blood Burst Secret Medicine, their bodies would turn into firecrackers, exploding into gore and falling from the sky.
The scene resembled a giant bonfire in the wild. The creatures were like insects drawn to light; even knowing the flames were deadly, they couldn’t stop themselves, rushing in like moths to a flame. In an instant, they became nothing more than fuel for the fire.
This extremely efficient method of killing aberrations continued unabated.
Fang Zhen’s brow twitched, a premonition stirring within him as he gazed toward the distant forest.
He sensed a tremendous malice emanating from that direction.
Fang Zhen guessed it was the vice-chairman or the councilors of the Eternal Night Council controlling these aberrations. Their original plan was likely to use a combined assault of Poisonous Soaring Ghosts and other Extraordinary aberrations—a neat one-two punch meant to breach Lanxi City directly.
But the members of the Eternal Night Council never expected their offensive would be completely thwarted by a single move from Fang Zhen.
The aberrations now seemed to be beyond their control. Fang Zhen, the very person who’d made them run amok, ignored the malice radiating from the Eternal Night Council’s senior members and simply continued with his work.
Alexander, West, the Curse Sealers of the Whig Society, and the soldiers on the city walls were all utterly flabbergasted. They stared, mouths agape, with some soldiers so stunned they were frozen in place.
In just a few minutes, most of the aberrations below had been wiped out, having inhaled the Blood Burst Secret Medicine and exploded.
Of the ’mountain of flesh’ gathered from over ten thousand aberrations, at least five to six thousand—perhaps even seven to eight thousand—were now dead. The efficiency of using the sprayed Blood Burst Secret Medicine to kill aberrations was simply off the charts.
Under normal circumstances, these aberrant creatures would have been scattered. However, lured by the Profane Words: Evil Power, the Abnormal Ghosts had become overly concentrated. This created a critical vulnerability in their formation, resulting in a highly efficient slaughter.
Below was truly a scene of severed limbs and mangled bodies. The carnage caused by the Blood Burst Secret Medicine was even more gruesome than the slaughter inflicted by the most brutal Samurai.
The ground below was truly a plain paved with flesh and blood. A layer of aberrant remains, one or two meters thick, had piled up on the ground, yet some aberrations, oblivious to death, continued to chase the Blood Essence Stone dangling from the drone.
The Evil Power Blood Essence Stone was clearly corrupting the aberrations, yet they were powerless to resist the urge to chase it.
The swarm of Poisonous Soaring Ghosts in the sky originally numbered over a thousand. Now, in just a short time, eight or nine hundred had already died, leaving only about two hundred.
On the city walls, the Whig Society Curse Sealers and the soldiers began to snap out of their stupor.
Karen’s face was flushed red with excitement. He shouted with abandon, heedless of his image, yet his hands remained steady on the drone’s control console. He expertly maneuvered the aircraft, coordinating with Fang Zhen’s strategy to clean up the last of the aberrations.
Fang Zhen felt a surge of appreciation. It was a wonderful thing to have such a smart assistant like Karen.
The man didn’t need to be taught; he naturally knew how to coordinate with Fang Zhen to achieve the best possible results.
Indeed, having such a capable subordinate was a true pleasure.
