Ghoul Factory

Regardless of any modifications Han Dong's right arm underwent later, its essence remains that of a "Ghoul Arm."

When Han Dong came into contact with ordinary Ghoul, even after killing Ghoul, there was no resonance or even a shared origin reaction.

As he stepped into the Ghoul's lair, his right arm trembled slightly due to the resonance.

This indirectly suggests that there might be a true Ghoul or something that can establish a connection with Ghoul below... The level of danger is self-evident.

"Camouflage Enhancement"

Han Dong enhanced the disguise effect of the Faceless Head on his right arm through subjective control, thereby making the resonance effect fade away... so as not to be targeted by the big thing below.

If the 'King' below were to lead a full-scale attack of Ghoul, even the Formal Knight would be plunged into a fierce battle... or even be swallowed up by the horde of ghouls.

"What's down there is definitely not simple... It's definitely much better than [Barber Charlie]."

Han Dong keeps the "Plague Domain" open at all times.

Surrounded by such a fungal-infested feeding ground, Han Dong could replenish his energy by absorbing pathogenic fungi at any time... at least the plague energy was inexhaustible.

despair...

As you step down the last step.

Han Dong paused for a moment, then muttered to himself, "This nest... is quite different from what I imagined!"

Ghoul.

This is Special Individual that exists alongside Graveyard Fungus.

In Han Dong's view, they are a group of individuals who do not have very high intelligence.

The corresponding lair should be a filthy cave filled with fungi, with corpses and bone fragments scattered everywhere... living in the cave like a pack of wild beasts.

However, the "nest" that appeared before Han Dong completely overturned his original concept.

It's less of a den and more of a well-regulated underground space.

Countless Ghoul, encased in ellipsoidal membranes, are embedded in the fungal-covered stone walls, in a special state of growth and dormancy.

This is a pale pink, translucent membrane.

The surface of the capsule layer is also covered by a highly resilient fascia (Anadesma) structure, which appears as muscle strips and covers the capsule surface, ensuring that the Ghoul 'dormant' inside are not affected by the Outside World.

also.

The inside of the capsule is also filled with a special solution, similar to a kind of Life Quality (Cultivation Fluid).

When immersed in this solution, the skin's pores will open to their maximum extent, continuously absorbing Life Quality.

It can catalyze and shape the Ghoul's body to the greatest extent, enabling it to grow into a strong and ferocious mature individual in a relatively short period of time.

in addition.

The flexible tubes are arranged in a regular pattern at the top of the passage, with each tube corresponding to a Ghoul.

It descends along the wall and penetrates from the top of the capsule.

By inserting a highly pathogenic fungal solution into the Ghoul's spine through the back of its head, the rapidly maturing Ghoul also gains a strong ability to infect others with plague.

This is basically a Ghoul Factory.

Moreover, the scale below is enormous, with Ghoul densely packed together on the walls through their membranes, stretching as far as the eye can see.

It's like training an army.

"Where did such a huge number of Ghoul come from...? Could it be that there is a mother entity here!?"

Han Dong suddenly recalled that when the witch was teaching the lower-level life forms outside the city, she mentioned a Special Individual - the "Mother".

A mother organism with extremely high reproductive capacity.

The mother typically occupies a sealed area, such as an abandoned village or an underground cave. Inside, she reproduces indiscriminately and conceals the area with a "fog".

Most of the mothers have reached the level of otherworldly demons, and they are not encountered in ordinary Knight Training Camp.

The Night Watcher, Jon, quickly said:

"Don't overthink the [mother body] matter; you won't come into contact with it."

The Ghoul encased in the sac are in an inactive state. As long as we do not damage the sac or sever the ducts connecting to their spines, they will not be awakened no matter how loud the noise is.

We are currently carrying out a "night watch mission".

The purpose is to address uncontrollable emergencies and to identify and seal off contamination "dead spots".

After we finish dealing with things here, a squad of Knight-Errant will come to the "Graveyard District" to carry out related missions.

therefore.

Under no circumstances should the current area be damaged, including the Ghoul inside the sac.

What we need to deal with are the 'personnel' wandering around here.

When resolving a problem, it must be done quickly and accurately.

"Clear."

"Where do we go next?" Jon handed over the Right of Choice finding the "dead spot" to the two Newcomer.

"Left!"

Han Dong gave the direction without hesitation.

"What is the basis for this judgment?"

"1. The pollution concentration on the left is slightly higher than that on the right."

2. In the plague tubes that connect to the Ghoul's spine, the source of the liquid mostly points to the left.

3. Slope issue. When going deeper into the underground tomb, there is a slight downward slope. The same applies here; the left side slopes downwards, while the right side slopes upwards.

The contamination "dead spots" are most likely located deeper within the contamination zone.

Han Dong had only been at the lair for a short time when he provided three strong pieces of evidence for his judgment.

This made Jon immediately look at the young man with new respect.

"Can you directly capture the 'pollution concentration'?"

"Hmm... the combination of sutures and a special eye given to me by Mr. Black and White allows me to see more things."

"Black and white, not bad! Maybe you can really help me find a few hidden 'dead spots'."

In an instant, Jon cast aside all his prejudices that the two Newcomer might cause trouble, hold him back, or put him in danger... and began to take the current task seriously.

They proceeded in the direction determined by Han Dong through careful observation.

At the corner.

A Ghoul with four arms and strange Curse Markings painted all over its body crawled out.

When an intruder is discovered.

The runes on the Ghoul's body immediately emitted a black light, and black smoke even emanated from between its claws.

Its mobility was on a completely different level from that of ordinary Ghoul... It immediately pounced on the group.

Its muscular arms stretched out, adorned with cursed claws, about to tear apart the intruder before it.

An unbelievable scene unfolded.

With the naked eye, it can only be seen as a fleeting shadow, Just Like a cheetah hunting.

The Ghoul was flying through the air, was instantly slashed more than twenty times, with severe bleeding... Green fluid splattered on the ground and the surrounding membrane surface.

In an instant.

"Amazing!"

Han Dong's "Lesser Demon Eye" saw clearly what had happened in that instant.

As the Ghoul lunged at Jon Night Watcher.

Its cheetah-like physical abilities allow it to unleash a series of incredibly fast attacks in an instant.

Six claw shadows even appeared in the air at the same time... instantly severing the Ghoul's vital parts, including its heart, trachea, skull, and important connecting tendons of its limbs.

"Next time you'd better hurry, otherwise even if you can help me find the 'dead spot,' I won't let you pass... Becoming a Night Watcher isn't as simple as you think."
