Chapter 1176 – If I Don’t Kill You, You’ll Kill Me

“Ball? What ball?” The Niepan captain instinctively froze for a moment. The name didn’t sound very lethal…

But in the next second, this man whose appearance had completely changed and no longer looked human suddenly let out a scream a hundred times more shrill than before.

Very quickly, he couldn’t even make a sound anymore, just stood there rolling his eyes, twitching uncontrollably.

And during his convulsions, the “Poisonous Insects” on his body also seemed to be greatly affected, all trembling and weakening.

“That is…”

Liu Yang’s gaze locked onto the Niepan captain’s forehead… There was a semi-transparent creature about the size of a fist, its overall shape resembling a Jellyfish. When it was lurking motionless before, it had fooled all of them. But once its blood-red tentacles started to move, it immediately erupted with a chilling destructive power.

With the Niepan captain’s skin defense, even if all those tentacles turned into steel needles, it would have been hard to pierce his skull completely. That was his biggest advantage when tangling with Ling Mo before. But neither he nor Liu Yang had expected that, even when Ling Mo was at a complete disadvantage, he had already prepared a backup plan. And this backup was so simple…

Yet the Niepan captain fell for it… It wasn’t bad luck, but Ling Mo’s timing was just too precise.

Besides… it was only a few meters away! If it had been a second earlier or later, the one screaming now might have been him…

“Was it a gamble? No… it was confidence…” Liu Yang murmured softly.

But soon, his attention returned to that master ball.

“Too late…”

Its tentacles had already bizarrely pierced into the Niepan captain’s head, and as they burrowed deeper into his brain, the captain’s mouth immediately gaped open. Next, it was as if he was being drained from the inside out. While his face twisted in pain, the color drained rapidly from his cheeks.

“…If I don’t kill you, you’ll kill me.” Ling Mo looked calmly at the Niepan captain before him.

This is survival… No one knows whether a step forward or back leads to life or death, but on this path, anyone who blocks another’s way will inevitably face the outcome of killing or being killed.

But even now, Ling Mo couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional. The longer you walk this road, the harder it feels…

“Thud!”

The Niepan captain’s body finally fell straight to the ground, his head turned to the side, that lifeless eye staring fixedly at Ling Mo.

Plop!

The master ball also detached from the captain’s head, leaping into Ling Mo’s hand.

At this moment, it still looked only palm-sized, but inside it was filled with invisible psychic energy.

But this jellyfish-like glowing scene was invisible to Liu Yang. In fact, the first thing he noticed wasn’t that, but the captain’s head.

It was covered in tiny red dots. At first glance, it didn’t seem like much, but recalling the earlier scene, it sent chills down one’s spine.

“I was wondering how it got in… Turns out it was corrosion. If I’m not mistaken, this master ball should be able to secrete corrosive bodily fluids, right? Through those straw-like tentacles, it can inject digestive fluid like a Spider, smearing corrosive liquid on the human scalp, then drilling in like an electric drill. But what it ultimately sucks out isn’t flesh and blood, but psychic energy… A strange Creature that can Devour psychic energy… Interesting…” Liu Yang said expressionlessly.

“Interesting, my ass… Can’t you keep this analysis to yourself? Besides, all that talk could be summed up in one sentence: No matter how high the defense, it’s still afraid of sulfuric acid…” Ling Mo put the master ball back in his pocket with a flip of his hand.

After absorbing so much, the master ball couldn’t be used again for now. And once any sneak attack method was exposed, there was no point in using it again.

Liu Yang’s eyes shifted to Ling Mo. Suddenly he asked, “What, does my saying it make you uncomfortable? But wasn’t he your enemy? Even if I didn’t act, he still wanted to kill you, you know that very well. Since that’s the case, the more miserable his end, shouldn’t you be happier?”

“He was an enemy, so I killed him without hesitation. But dead is dead. The enemy I care about now is you, and the Niepan behind him.” Ling Mo said blandly.

What’s the point of fussing over a dead enemy… Only non-humans would simply eat their enemies, right…

Ling Mo secretly rolled his eyes. Compared to the Female Zombies around him, the Spider Queen, a wild Monster dominant, really was far more ruthless…

But whether it’s ruthless is only relative to humans. For the Spider Queen, to evolve, it must face ever fiercer competition. Bloodshed… cruelty… these are just the daily tone of life for it.

“Humans really are strange…” Liu Yang sighed again, then looked up at the Ceiling and the corresponding floor, asking, “How did you avoid Sensing? His Psychic Shielding Net is one thing, but how did you break through my interception?”

Those tentacles and the master ball’s appearance were just too unexpected…

“Why should I tell you?” Ling Mo rolled his eyes and replied bluntly.

Liu Yang clearly hadn’t expected this answer and was stunned for a moment. After coming to his senses, he answered honestly, “Why? Didn’t I just answer your question? Besides, I’m just curious…”

“But what’s that got to do with me?” Ling Mo asked again.

Liu Yang thought seriously for a moment… but couldn’t answer.

Ling Mo secretly wiped his brow… Who would’ve thought this guy, for all his strength, could be so clueless… Zombies are just too honest, and their brains don’t turn corners…

“Fine then, after fighting you, I should be able to figure it out.” Liu Yang suddenly looked up and said. And the moment he finished speaking, Ling Mo suddenly froze.

The Psychic Shield disappeared… But as Liu Yang charged out, Ling Mo felt as if he’d fallen into some kind of hallucination…

Everything around him was rapidly retreating, all sounds quickly fading, and in the sweeping darkness, Ling Mo saw only a figure swaying…

Not charging, just walking toward him…

But this overwhelming sense of threat instantly made Ling Mo’s body tense up.

So strong!
