This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous-Chapter 987 - 464: The Might of One Strike

"That’s terrible..."

Fuya looked at the sea surface, cluttered with various floating objects and bloodstains, feeling a chilling shock.

When she first appeared in City K, she immediately noticed the great changes in the surrounding landscape since her first visit to the Forgotten Land, as if it had been struck by a natural disaster, leaving nothing but ruins and remnants of buildings in sight.

However, that area was, after all, a wilderness, nearly devoid of human habitation, so it hadn’t seemed too severe until now, following Mu You to the center of the battlefield in the Pacific Ocean, where she truly grasped the severity of the situation upon seeing the devastation all around her.

These Titans showed no mercy, they were bent on the annihilation of the Forgotten Land!

"Thump... Thump..."

The distant and intense thumping continued, and the cracks near the entrance to the labyrinth were spreading at an alarming rate, so that no one would be surprised if it collapsed entirely the next second.

However, right now everyone’s attention had shifted temporarily from the labyrinth to a man and a woman on a small island ahead.

After the Ghost Captain returned, without seeking anyone’s opinion, he went straight into the Red Sickle Girl’s ten-meter radius and even made direct, close contact with her.

This made the Blood Emperor and others sweat with worry; after all, the Red Sickle Girl was confirmed to have been parasitized. Wasn’t the Ghost Captain afraid of the parasite transferring to him by recklessly getting so close?

The Ghost Captain was their only hope at the moment. If he were also parasitized, everyone would truly be at a loss.

At this point, all the Blood Emperor and the others could do was pray that the Ghost Captain knew what he was doing and had means to prevent the parasite infestation.

"Help me..."

Lin Xue lay collapsed in Mu You’s arms, and after she conveyed the last piece of intelligence to him, she shakily handed the knife she held into his hand.

Mu You understood her intention. Lin Xue’s character clearly could not tolerate another consciousness occupying her mind. Her only thought at the moment was to end herself, but the parasitic process had already begun, and she could not commit suicide, relying on someone else to grant her release.

Mu You looked at Lin Xue, who was trembling all over and enduring the pain, sighed, and held the hand that was holding the knife with one hand, while with the other, he took out the Pen of Order and modified a few Order Runes on her body, eradicating her sense of pain.

Lin Xue immediately felt relief spread through her body and her spirit calmed, as if a gentle energy was flowing within her, lulling her into a strong drowsiness.

"Don’t worry, you’ll be resurrected soon..."

As Mu You spoke, he maneuvered her knife-wielding hand over her heart, and then slowly pushed it in.

"But for now, rest. You’ve done enough; leave the rest to me..."

Lin Xue, listening to Mu You’s soft voice, saw the last trace of worry on her face dissolve into relief, and with a relaxed smile, she finally closed her eyes, unburdened.

Lin Xue’s energy was already burnt out, and she had sustained injuries and continual blood loss. Her life was hanging by a thread, and so this seemingly gentle stab still easily snuffed out the last of her life force.

After Lin Xue’s death, a square crystal floated out from her body, which was the Secret Art Crystal of Pisces.

Mu You waved the Pen of Order, covering the crystal’s surface with an invisible energy, completely enveloping it. Then he secured the encased crystal in his backpack.

The onlookers from the perimeter watched the scene in silence, never expecting that the Red Sickle Girl would ultimately die, especially by the hand of the Ghost Captain himself...

This realization made everyone’s hearts skip a beat, suddenly recognizing that perhaps even the Ghost Captain did not have a better way to deal with the Divine Beast. Once confirmed to be parasitized, death seemed to be their only destination...

However, at the same time, a few who were closer faintly heard the Ghost Captain’s last words: You will be resurrected...

Resurrected?

This reignited hope in many hearts. Could it be that the Ghost Captain possessed the ability to resurrect the dead?

At the instant of Lin Xue’s death, from an angle unseen by everyone else, an almost transparent, fluffy creature quietly emerged from her temple, floating weightlessly in the air. After glancing around, it locked onto Mu You next to it and rapidly floated toward him.

However, just as the fluffy creature was about to enter Mu You’s body, it was stopped by a thin layer of pale blue energy. freewebnøvel.com

The creature was repelled by the energy barrier, shook its tiny head, and hurriedly charged towards Mu You again at an even faster speed.

Unfortunately, the result was the same. The energy layer was like solid armor, blocking the fluffy creature at its surface and preventing it from advancing further, no matter how hard it tried.

The next second, an ethereal blue energy in the shape of an arm swept over and grabbed the fluffy creature in its ’hand.’

Wrapped in the hand of energy, the fluffy creature struggled fiercely but to no avail. Due to prolonged exposure to the air, its translucent body began to show a faint red color, finally revealing it to everyone’s sight.

A series of astonished gasps rose all around, as onlookers watched the floating tuft of red fluff in front of Mu You, quickly realizing what it was.

"Is this the Divine Beast?" asked the Blood Emperor, frowning at the struggling red fluff. But at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, it appeared that the Ghost Captain did indeed have a means to prevent the parasitic infestation, and had even caught a Divine Beast alive.
