CHAPTER 393: CHAPTER 235: REMEMBER, I’M AN UNDERCOVER AGENT WITHOUT EMOTIONS (TWO IN ONE)

"Aoo..."

The earth-shaking beast’s roar reverberated through the blood mist once again; a gigantic blood-colored tentacle covered in grotesque barbs broke free from the mist and hurtled toward Qin Shou.

"What the hell is that?"

A frigid evil wind swept through the pit as Qin Shou’s expression hardened. He immediately activated the Unrivaled Dragon Transformation Card, morphing into a deep crimson dragon that soared upward, tearing through the mist in the sky.

"Roar..."

After unleashing a dragon’s roar, Qin Shou reverted to his original body, gazing downward from high above as the blood mist unleashed by the Magic Eye spread over an area of more than a kilometer, blanketing the entire mining region in a chilling atmosphere.

At this moment, panic-stricken cries emerged from within the bodies of the two Dinosaur Monsters attacking Gagura.

"This is bad! It’s Lord Xiongmu’s Undead Monster!"

"Run...!"

"Lord Xiongmu, he..."

"The Undead Monster has appeared! The chances of Lord Xiongmu surviving this are slim to none. We can’t worry about him now..."

Amid their terrified exclamations, the two Four-eyed Demons abruptly abandoned their assault on Gagura and commanded their Monster Puppets to flee into the distance.

As for Lord Xiongmu’s Monster Puppets, they had already stopped moving when Xiongmu’s head was blasted apart, standing motionless like statues of monsters.

A few Synthetic Monsters freed themselves, unwilling to let the fleeing Monster Puppets off the hook.

In the next instant, over ten Space Gates flickered into existence above the Synthetic Monsters’ heads.

"Don’t chase them! Get inside!"

Qin Shou bellowed, stopping the Synthetic Monsters from continuing their pursuit, then commanded the Giant Snail to move far away from the scene.

As soon as the Synthetic Monsters entered the System Space, a ferocious beast roar erupted from the blood mist. Scarlet tentacles burst forth once again, enveloping their quarry—the two crimson Dinosaur Monsters leading the charge to escape.

"Aoo..."

As the blood-colored tentacle approached the crimson Dinosaur Monsters, its tip suddenly split into three jagged mouths resembling grotesque, gaping maws. The monstrous abyss of a mouth, with a staggering diameter of over a hundred meters, was utterly horrifying to behold.

Slimy mucus splashed from the tentacle’s splitting mouths, and the air was permeated with a sickening stench.

"No!!"

The Four-eyed Demon inside the Dinosaur Puppet shrieked in sheer terror, their voice cracking moments before the jagged maw crashed downward.

"Boom!!"

The earth trembled violently as dirt and rocks scattered in all directions. The two Dinosaur Monsters were engulfed by the grotesque maw, their screams abruptly silenced.

There was no sound of chewing, only the sinister squelching of sticky mucus writhing.

The two Four-eyed Demons perished on the spot, and all Monster Puppets froze where they stood.

The monstrous "tentacle" that had devoured the two Dinosaur Monsters soon slithered toward the motionless Monster Puppets.

"Aoo..."

The three jagged mouths opened once more, enclosing the Golden Toad whose eye had been blasted by Little Vajra in their enormous grasp. The segmented maw wriggled grotesquely as it swallowed the creature whole.

High above, Qin Shou perceptively noted that with each act of feeding, the barbs on the tentacle’s surface grew increasingly vicious, and the sticky mucus secreted by its rough skin became thicker and slimier.

It was consuming the Monster Puppets to regain its strength!

At this moment, Qin Shou’s communicator buzzed with an electronically synthesized voice from the Intelligent System.

"Beep... Respected Master, based on the information overheard from the Four-eyed Demons, preliminary judgment suggests that this monster is an Undead Monster that has been specially sealed by the Magic Eye—not nearly as powerful as it was at its peak..."

The Demon Eye Star People, when dealing with monsters of higher Life Levels, cannot refine them into puppets but can imprison them within the Magic Eye, continuously extracting their life energy to strengthen Monster Puppets or themselves.

Upon hearing this, Qin Shou’s eyes lit up—it was finally the legendary Undead Monster!

The greedy snake in his body had absorbed Undying Cells, but compared to a true Undead Monster, it was still lacking.

Even if the evolvable Undying Cells were powerful, at least in their current state, they could not match the Undead Monster.

Only through future upgrades might the Undying Cells evolve further.

Looking at the Undead Monster before him, grotesque as it was, there was no way Qin Shou would let it slip away.

"I want to see just how ’undead’ this Undead Monster really is!"

Qin Shou chuckled lightly, waving his hand to summon all his combat-ready Synthetic Monsters.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

More than ten Space Gates shimmered around the edges of the blood mist as Synthetic Monsters swarmed out, firing energy of various colors into the mist and unleashing explosive shockwaves that scattered the mist across the sky.

In an instant, the true form of the Undead Monster was finally revealed in Qin Shou’s sight.

It was a massive blood-colored worm, nearly 200 meters long, strikingly different from the tentacle monster Qin Shou had imagined.

The blood-colored worm had no eyes; its body was covered in brutal barbs, and both ends bore identical jagged mouths. There was no telling which side was the mouth and which side was... the rear.

Or perhaps it was all intake with no output, or maybe both ends could serve multiple "purposes."

The grotesque image he conjured in his mind made Qin Shou bend over and retch.

Though it was the renowned Undead Monster, it was utterly repulsive.

When synthesizing with this monster, extreme caution would be necessary...

No, first he’d have to see if it could even be defeated; thinking this far ahead was premature.

Shaking his head, Qin Shou prepared to signal the Synthetic Monsters to gang up on the blood-colored worm.

"Aoo!!"

But unexpectedly, the blood-colored worm writhed its body, both jagged mouths roaring toward its surroundings as an overwhelmingly nauseating stench enveloped the entire mining region.

Immediately, most of the Synthetic Monsters spewed foam from their mouths, vomiting projectile streams in midair.

"Urgh..." The greedy snake, with its three heads, gagged collectively, succumbing first to the overpowering stench.

"This stench could kill me!" Brother Monkey turned pale, pinching his nose and retreating rapidly with Little Vajra.

"Arrgh..." Hillbagon, with its short arms unable to reach its nose, panicked and spun in circles before finally slamming its head into the ground to bury it in dirt.

Only Galatron, Unrivaled Dragon, Dark Dragon, and a few other Mechanical Monsters showed slightly higher resistance to the foul odor.

The most pitiful was Zhu Bajie, who had been hanging around the fringes of the battle. Originally, he intended to release his "Pig’s Qiankun Fart," retreat from the battlefield immediately after, go through the motions, and then find a spot to rest.
