Joint Operation (Part 2)

The joint offensive is not over yet.

Just as the three bullets pierced the ghost's body, a beam of holy light descended, enveloping the ghost's entire body.

Holy light, fire, and silver bullets hit vital points.

Screams echoed inside the building.

In the blink of an eye, only a pile of charred white cloth fragments remained.

All of this was accomplished by Cas, Koslin, and Sophia working together; Han Dong did not make any move... because Han Dong felt that these attacks were enough, and he vaguely sensed something was wrong.

During the battle, Han Dong always felt that someone was watching him and his group from some dark corner.

Is he dead?

"No... something is still watching us from the shadows, everyone be careful." As soon as Han Dong said this, everyone remained on high alert.

Standing alone in the second-floor corridor, Cas quickly took off his still-burning silver armor, extinguished the flames, and put it back on.

That was truly a close call. If we hadn't anticipated the opponent's plant properties and prepared "Fire Oil Bomb" in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Just as Cas was putting his armor back on, he caught a glimpse of Sophia's location out of the corner of his eye... slender plant vines were continuously growing from the floor.

"Fia! On the ground!"

The moment Cas shouted those words, the plants began to grow wildly.

Clearly, the 'thing' hidden inside this building possesses a fully developed consciousness.

Based on the fact that the ghost was just killed, it was determined that Sophia posed the greatest threat and she had to be eliminated first.

Sophia was positioned between Koslin and Han Dong, about two meters away from both of them.

But when faced with plants that suddenly sprouted from between the floors, Koslin reacted very quickly.

He put away his gun and took out the holy water.

Bang!

Throw a bottle of holy water over.

To everyone's surprise, the holy water had absolutely no effect on these plants.

This indirectly suggests that these manipulated plants were not mixed with evil attributes, but were just ordinary plant bodies that had been manipulated.

This also shows that Sophia's holy light spells have no effect on these plants... With her abilities, she cannot break free from the vines' restraints.

It's even less likely that they would throw Fire Oil Bomb in this situation, as the flames would severely burn Sophia, unlike Cas who is wearing armor.

At such a distance, Cas couldn't possibly get there.

Crunch crunch!

The rampant plant vines had already wrapped around Sophia's feet.

Even Though she took out a finely crafted dagger and cut a few vines, it was completely useless... the separated vines would continue to grow.

Unbeknownst to her, Sophia had been skillfully 'bound' by these vines and was unable to move.

At the same time, a white cloth appeared in the floorboards, foreshadowing the imminent appearance of the ghost! The situation was extremely critical.

The three members of the team were all in a panic and couldn't think of a solution.

Han Dong watched this scene silently, his mind already simulating various rescue methods, but all of them could potentially harm Sophia.

There is only one way to avoid injury.

Inside a prison cell.

The Woman in Red Robe, who was standing facing the wall, suddenly disappeared.

"Miss Chen Li, I'm begging you."

An unusual and malevolent aura appeared in the hall area.

Whoosh!

The blade flashed, precisely slicing through the vines that were wrapped around Sophia.

Beneath his black hair, a pair of chilling red eyes met Sophia's Eye Contact, causing the latter to retreat repeatedly... just in time to escape the range of the plant's restraints.

Immediately afterwards, the Woman in Red Robe turned her gaze to the ground.

A pale arm, wreathed in malevolent energy, swiftly reached out and grabbed the eerie white cloth on the ground.

They used brute force to pull the 'ghost' out completely.

What followed was a series of chaotic and unpredictable sword techniques.

The cleaver, imbued with evil energy, frantically sliced through the ghost's body, chopping up all the plant branches that resembled tentacles... Chen Li single-handedly killed the ghost.

Moreover, like Han Dong, Chen Li was unaffected by the pollution.

Staring at the second dead ghost, Han Dong realized something... the source of pollution hidden in the Baker Manor was secretly controlling the ghosts.

"Hurry to the Backyard... Since the mansion can be restored to its original state when night falls, the Backyard might have been restored as well!"

When Han Dong shouted those words.

Apart from Cas making a move, both Koslin and Sophia were somewhat bewildered.

Staring at the terrifying Woman in Red Robe, wielding a kitchen knife and with disheveled black hair, I felt slightly frightened because I didn't quite know her background.

Cas quickly explained, "This is what I told you about before, Andeva's powerful summon! Hurry up... Andeva is right."

Since the other party can control ordinary plants, there's a high probability that its true form is in the Backyard!

"Um..."

Sophia, who had been rescued, slowly came to her senses, her gaze shifting from the Woman in Red Robe to Han Dong... She bit her lip slightly and nodded her thanks.

The four gathered and prepared to leave through the main gate and head to the Backyard.

But then... boom!

With Loud Noise, the heavy Wooden Gate of the mansion slammed shut, and a large number of plant vines grew out of the cracks to reinforce the door.

At the same time, another ghost appeared in the corner of the hall.

Just as everyone was preparing for battle, Cas looked furious.

The reason for the anger was that the other party directly attacked the vulnerable women in the group.

Without Han Dong's abilities, Fia would probably be seriously injured.

Cas decisively pulled out a Fire Oil Bomb and slammed it heavily against the door.

As the fire spread and burned some of the plants on the gate... Cas focused his strength on his legs and left arm.

Lower the center of gravity.

"Brute Force Charge" + "Shield Bash".

Loud Noise was heard.

Wood chips and charred plant vines flew everywhere.

The fact that Cas could single-handedly force open a massive, three-meter-high door demonstrates just how strong his physical abilities are.

That's how the team was able to leave the mansion smoothly and head straight for the Backyard.

The guess was correct.

In the very center of what was once a weed-infested Backyard, a giant sycamore tree has appeared... Its size is so enormous that it occupies the entire Backyard, with part of its trunk connected to the mansion.

At the bottom of the giant tree, there is a small Tree Hole that can be entered by a single person.

To completely eradicate the ghost haunting the Baker Manor, it seems necessary to delve into the Tree Hole hollow and kill the true source of the pollution.

Bang!

Koslin grabbed a Fire Oil Bomb and threw it, intending to burn the tree down in one fell swoop.

Things were not that simple, of course. The flames could only burn off the Shallow Layer bark and could not spread across the surface of the tree... They soon went out on their own.

The white ghost had already drifted out from the mansion's entrance, giving everyone little time to think.

A decision must be made immediately.

"Friend Andeva, leave the rest to us!"

The three of us have worked together many times before, and we've confirmed that the enemy's true form is inside this large tree. We'll go in... You stay outside and cover our retreat, clearing out the pursuing ghosts.

Since Han Dong's summoned creatures can deal with ghosts, let's leave him to cover our retreat.

With Fia's holy light, Cas was confident that he could defeat the source of the infection inside, and then Koster would set fire to the strange tree inside to burn it completely.

"Alright... be careful."

"Hmm, don't worry! The other party only has one more pollution attribute. In terms of difficulty, it is not comparable to the things in the [Destiny Space] at all."

Cas and his two companions quickly entered the Tree Hole.

Han Dong and Miss Chen Li stood still, staring directly at the ghost drifting towards them, unmoved.

"Should I do it?" Chen Li asked.

"No... I can do it myself."

The ghost floated right up to Han Dong.

The ghost stretched out its soft tree root fingers to grope Han Dong's body, or made terrifying screams, or lifted the white cloth to reveal a disgusting face full of eyes.

Han Dong remained completely unmoved and shrugged helplessly.

Snap!

Han Dong reached out and grabbed the female ghost's head.

A thick, spotted tentacle quickly penetrated deep into the skull.

Glug glug! It seems to be absorbing the other party's 'brain essence'.

However, this time is a little different... It seems to have absorbed not only energy, but also a little memory and Cellular Essence.

The third update will be at 9 PM!
