Your Second Uncle Is Back

Su Li already had an idea of who to choose for the thirty Corrupted Enslavement targets.

"An army's strength lies in its quality, not quantity. Since we need to deal with that Flame Dragon Lizard that purifies with fire, we must find monsters that are inherently disgusting, preferably with some special effects."

Su Li counted on his bony fingers:

"First, they must be infected with Crimson Corruption. Otherwise, they can't be converted into Corrupted Enslavement."

"Second, they should ideally possess both offense and control."

"In that case, the best candidates are obvious."

The top choice would be that group of Pipi Fingers. Although they looked sanity-draining, one had to admit they were natural crowd controllers.

Their ability to swarm and control with over a dozen fingers at once... if more of them swarmed together, one after another...

If he got lucky and enslaved the large Finger Bug wearing a ring, he'd get a free magic turret.

The second choice would be that pile of Abyssal Corroding Slimes. They were pure biological weapons.

They were already products of invading foreign rules. Combined with Crimson Corruption, it would be a double contamination.

Even if that Flame Dragon Lizard was a local overlord, it would have to kneel and sing its submission when faced with such "shit from beyond the heavens."

When the damage wasn't enough, they could all self-destruct, unleashing a massive burst of Crimson Corruption. Su Li couldn't even imagine how spectacular that scene would be.

"So, the plan is complete!" Su Li immediately took action.

Although the goal was clear, the execution was not easy, especially with that group of Finger Bugs that liked to gather and play mahjong. Once their numbers grew, even the Elden King would be crushed into a pulp.

"I must be careful and cautious, dividing and conquering."

"Pipi Axe, Pipi Finger, follow me! We're heading to the Corrupted Cave first!"

Inside the Corrupted Cave.

Su Li once again transformed into a diligent porter, taking out all the Cracked Pots he had obtained from the Ghoul Tyrant and pouring them into the Corruption Pool.

Gulp, gulp...

Gulp, gulp...

[Obtained: Inferior Corrupted Pot x50]

Looking at the fifty biological weapons neatly arranged in his Backpack, Su Li nodded with satisfaction.

"Ammo is sufficient, let's go!"

With his two loyal followers, Su Li crept back to the place where he had discovered the Finger Bug swarm.

To prevent being ambushed by these guys who liked to attack from underground, Su Li specifically climbed a dead tree with a wide field of vision and hung himself from a branch.

"Pipi Axe, go squat in those bushes. Don't move without my command!"

Pipi Axe obediently shrunk into the bushes, trying its best to look like a rotten log covered in mushrooms.

"Pipi Finger, it's your time to shine. Go up and recognize your relatives! See if you can lure a few fools over."

Pipi Finger received the order and swaggered into the Finger Bugs' territory.

Its appearance immediately caused a stir in the calm Finger Bug swarm.

The Finger Bugs, which had been buried in the soil with only their fingertips exposed, broke out of the ground. A dozen or so palms of various sizes surrounded Pipi Finger, pointing at it.

"Squeak squeak?"

Finally, a large Finger Bug, as big as a car and wearing a ring on its middle finger, slowly crawled over.

It circled Pipi Finger twice, seemingly finding the smell of this "kin" a bit strong and unsure if it was one of their own.

However, based on a simple intelligence assessment, they classified Pipi Finger as one of their own, just a bit rotten.

It extended a finger and gently patted Pipi Finger's hand.

Su Li watched this scene from the tree, imagining the translation:

"Ah, brother, you've been infected with Crimson Corruption? My condolences. Since you're not dead yet, come back with us."

A small Finger Bug nearby also came over and rubbed against Pipi Finger.

Su Li continued to translate:

"My Second Uncle! Sob sob sob! Where have you been, my Second Uncle? I thought you'd been stewed by a Skeleton!"

Although Pipi Finger couldn't understand, it still followed Su Li's instructions, stiffly waving its fingers and making a gesture that seemed to say, "It's okay, everyone follow me, I'll take you to eat well."

Then it turned and crawled towards the direction where Su Li had set up an ambush.

The large Finger Bug hesitated for a moment, then finally waved its hand, leading a large group of its subordinates to follow.

Watching the vast army of hands below, the fire in Su Li's eyes pulsed with excitement.

"Great job, Pipi Finger! This was a performance worthy of an Oscar! Well done!"

Once the Finger Bug army was fully within range, Su Li didn't hesitate. His hands moved like lightning, pulling Inferior Corruption Pots from his Backpack and initiating the bombing mode.

"Explode for me!!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Twenty inferior corruption pots rained down.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!" The sounds of corruption pots shattering echoed one after another.

Dark red crimson corruption instantly covered the entire area, forming a death swamp.

"Screech scre--!!"

The finger bugs immediately descended into chaos. The searing pain from the crimson corruption made them roll wildly on the ground, trying to rub off the corrosive liquid. But this only caused the corruption to spread further.

The large finger bug reacted the fastest. Realizing it had fallen into a trap, it angrily reared up. A blinding light condensed on the purple ring on its finger.

"Trying to counterattack? Too late!"

Su Li shouted, "Pipi Axe, charge!!"

"Roar--!!"

Pipi Axe, who had been holding back, burst from the grass. The soul fire around his neck burned fiercely. The double-edged battle axe in his hands, carrying a ferocious aura, charged into the chaotic swarm of finger bugs like a heavy tank.

At the same time, Su Li leaped down from the tree.

He adjusted his posture in mid-air and landed with his right foot stomping heavily on the ground.

"War Stomp!!"

"Rumble!!!"

The ground trembled violently, and dozens of sharp bone spikes erupted from the earth, impaling the rolling finger bugs like skewers!

[Corruption Accumulation Value Full! Passive Triggered: Crimson Corruption!]

Over twenty finger bugs instantly entered a weakened state, continuously losing health and emitting characteristic red smoke.

"Now it's hunting time!" Su Li raised his corrupted iron sword and turned into a red whirlwind, charging into the enemy formation.

Affected by the crimson corruption, they were now lambs to the slaughter.

"Slash! Slash!" Su Li dispatched them one by one.

[Killed Small Finger Bug ×15, Gained Experience +150]

[Killed Medium Finger Bug ×6, Gained Experience +180, Spirit +3]

In just a few minutes, the battlefield was mostly cleared.

Finally, only the large finger bug, with its tenacious vitality, remained.

It looked at the corpses of its offspring scattered across the ground and became utterly enraged.

The purple ring on its finger glowed intensely, and a pink gravity wave shot towards Su Li.

Immediately after, its massive body sprang up, spun rapidly in the air, and spread out its dozen or so thick fingers, attempting to crush Su Li!

Su Li's soul fire contracted: "Not good! It's a confinement followed by a throwing technique!!"
