The Most Unusual Monster in the Sky
Then, with a poisoned dagger of revenge, he plunged it into the other man's chest.
Thinking of this, the girl's eyes crinkled into a smile.
The Ghost Mother laughed along, a indulgent laugh, and said, "Silly child."
"You've been disguising yourself for over a hundred years, haven't you?" the Ghost Mother said. "You've been waiting, haven't you? Waiting for me to weaken—'The powerful monster is invincible, but she has a fatal weakness: if she doesn't devour the souls of living beings for a period of time, she will become weak.' You discovered this? Oh, so you've repeatedly ruined my food. Just now, fearing that human's intrusion would disrupt your plans, you preemptively tried to kill her... What a wicked child! You were once human, how can you kill so casually? Don't other people's lives matter for your revenge?"
The smile on the girl's face slowly faded.
Other people's lives...
Yes.
unimportant.
At that moment, when she saw the interest in the monster's eyes, she pretended to forget her hatred and her memories of being human. She acted as a true Polluted, revealing her malicious killing intent. She called the monster her mother and became its accomplice.
Countless innocent humans have died at her hands in search of food for the monsters. The girl who once longed to slay demons had long since become a monster herself.
As long as she can get revenge, she doesn't care about anything else.
The souls of the dead in that city must be appeased with the deaths of monsters.
She must take revenge.
Fortunately, the monster is about to die.
The girl cheered up again. "Auntie, you had so many last words."
"Last words?" The Ghost Mother chuckled, and with a snap, the other half of the mask fell off her face, revealing a hideous and sinister expression.
With a malicious glint in her eyes, the Ghost Mother said, "But, Xiao Yu, don't you think your revenge is too childish, and my weakness isn't without a way to be cured?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's expression changed drastically, and she turned and ran away.
But she was too slow; the Ghost Mother stretched out her long arms and easily intercepted her.
To save or not to save?
Ye Jiang, who was watching the show, hesitated for a moment before finally appearing in a flash. She reached out to snatch the girl from the Ghost Mother's hand, but suddenly a mask grew from the Ghost Mother's arm. The mask's mouth opened wide and decisively bit off the girl's neck with a single bite. Then it swallowed the girl whole. Before Xiao Pei's chains could even be fired, it was all over.
Crunch, crunch.
The monster enjoyed its spoils.
Xiao Pei's face was pale, and the sound of her chewing made her teeth ache. From the conversation between the Ghost Mother and the girl, and now the scene of the Ghost Mother's mask devouring the girl, she suddenly understood where the missing citizens of Huanxia City had gone.
She even deduced the girl's identity from the word "revenge".
Xiao Pei snapped out of her reverie, remembering the girl's recommendation of the City of Flowers.
Ye Jiang failed to snatch the person, and she looked down at her hands.
Xiao Pei came to her side and saw Ye Jiang looking at her hands. She was worried about her and asked, "What happened to your hands?"
Ye Jiang shook her head and slowly lowered her hand.
nothing.
She had just grabbed the girl, but the girl pushed her away with her hand.
And the girl's last look...
On the other side, the Ghost Mother stood up, a young girl had fallen in her hands, and her enormous form was shrinking.
Her bulky figure was not the powerful type that Ye Jiang thought she was in; rather, it was a bluff after she had weakened.
She regained her elegant human appearance, the wound on her chest disappeared without a trace, and she looked at Ye Jiang, licking her lips with her bright red tongue.
She had been hungry for too long and was still not full.
She is a

comeback
Humans on the road.
She's like a foolish girl who thinks she's found her enemy's weakness and has been plotting for a hundred years to avenge her great grudge.
The Ghost Mother's lips curled into a smile; she too had been waiting for this moment for over a hundred years. The food she had carefully cultivated was truly exquisite...
prick--
With a soft crack, the Ghost Mother's chest suddenly split open, and the dark poison instantly corroded a large hole in her chest.
Unidentified vines climbed out of the hole, sprouting branches and leaves, and blooming small, grayish flowers, completely unremarkable.
The Ghost Mother's smile froze on her lips, then—
She coughed up a mouthful of black blood, her flesh was rotting and melting, peeling off piece by piece. Her face was also melting, and that hypocritical smile could no longer be maintained.
"... I really underestimated you."
The Ghost Mother was still laughing, her laughter twisted and menacing.
Ye Jiang smelled something and looked up at the Ghost Mother.
She smelled a familiar scent of decay emanating from the Ghost Mother —the scent of a young girl.
It's poison.
The deadliest poison.
The girl knew all along that she was food bred by a monster, and in order to seek revenge, she refined the most deadly poison into her own body.
She was waiting for the Ghost Mother to devour her; she had endured for over a hundred years for this moment.
At the moment she awaited death, her eyes were filled with tranquility.
Ah, finally it's quiet.
Chapter 164 The Most Unique Monster in the Sky
The Ghost Mother... is she dying?
A dilapidated garden, yet its owner, oblivious to sorrow, sleeps soundly amidst the flowers.
Flowering vines sprouted from the chest of the man-eating monster, and chunks of rotting flesh melted and fell away. At this moment, the once mighty and invincible creature looked extremely pathetic.
Xiao Pei's eyes widened in surprise at this sudden turn of events.
Is the Ghost Mother really going to die?
Because of his arrogance and conceit, he ended up dying at the hands of the weak?
The monster is melting, and the insurmountable mountain is collapsing little by little. This is a scene Xiao Pei never imagined, and it is truly a beautiful sight!
A twisted sense of pleasure welled up within the female warrior.
That Ghost Mother, she deserves to die!
Was this all part of that girl's scheme?
A scheme based on the sacrifice of lives?
Such deep hatred—that girl, without a doubt, was a survivor of that catastrophe more than a hundred years ago.
A gentle breeze carried the stench of decay, and the female warrior from the Ability Control Bureau's eyes turned bloodshot. Without the slightest hesitation, corroded chains shot out from behind her, roaring like a black dragon as she charged towards the weakened monster!
Whether the Ghost Mother lives or dies, now is the perfect time to finish her off!
Sizzle--
The chains pierced the monster's body, tearing away large chunks of rotting flesh. The monster remained unresponsive, seemingly too weak to move.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
The chains pierced through the monster's body, causing it to stagger and fall due to inertia.
A flash of dark red light appeared, and the monster's head suddenly tilted to the side, held together only by its remaining skin and flesh. Ye Jiang landed behind the monster, shaking the dirt off her hands.
She took action too.
Ye Jiang did not have the habit of taking advantage of weakened opponents to finish them off.
But the Ghost Mother is different.
At that moment, she desperately wanted her dead, so she couldn't care less about anything else.
Ye Jiang glanced at the flowers blooming on the Ghost Mother's body, and her figure moved again. She and Xiao Pei each finished off the remaining enemies with their own knives. Before long, the Ghost Mother was torn to pieces, swaying and collapsing amidst the phantom of the chains.
But her head remained attached to a layer of skin and flesh, and did not fall off.
In the midst of the relentless attack, the Ghost Mother's eyes suddenly shifted, fixing on Xiao Pei. Xiao Pei froze, feeling a chill run through her body. Then, the eyes shifted again, fixing on another attacker, Ye Jiang, and this time remained fixed for a long time.
Xiao Pei's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding suddenly arose within her, prompting her to instinctively stop her attack.
"Ye Jiang, no, get away from the Ghost Mother!" Xiao Pei shouted, retreating several meters while simultaneously locking onto Ye Jiang with chains, trying to take her with him, but the latter dodged.
Xiao Pei's eyes immediately reddened.
Something suddenly appeared in the wind—cold, sharp, as if stirring something in my brain.
The female warrior's expression changed drastically; this was...
It felt as if she had been punched in the head and abdomen at the same time. Ugh—the strongest warrior of the Ability Control Bureau suddenly vomited a pool of acidic water. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see that her skin was rapidly festering.
It's Pollution!
It's the Pollution of the Ghost Mother!
The Ghost Mother... she didn't die!
Even with the most deadly poison in her body, her skin and flesh rotting all over, and then this attack, she was far from dying, far from it!
Wisps of black smoke drifted from the decaying body of the Ghost Mother, their chilling aura seemingly laced with a sharp, murderous intent. Something was about to emerge; it was...
The monster's true form.
The mountain did not collapse. What appeared to be a collapse was actually just a few rocks rolling down. The surface looked like it had collapsed, but the mountain itself was actually solid!
These were the last words that flashed through Xiao Pei's mind before she lost consciousness. They were words of utter despair, and a deep sense of resentment and worry for her friend welled up within Ghost Mother. Ye Jiang was still with the Ghost Mother.
Xiao Pei's body went limp and she lost consciousness.
The strongest warrior of the Ability Control Bureau couldn't last five seconds against the monstrous Ghost Mother.
A hand reached out and caught the female warrior as she fell backward. Xiao Pei collapsed, but Ye Jiang, whom she had been worried about, was fine. She flashed to her side and caught her.
A healing power descended upon the human, Ye Jiang used her power to protect the female warrior's consciousness.
"Oh..."
A low chuckle escaped from the Ghost Mother's mouth, black smoke billowing beneath her tattered flesh. Ghost Mother laughter was mocking and disdainful.
Even if weak humans become Polluted, they are still weak. Trying to outmaneuver a powerful monster is truly overestimating their own abilities.
The Ghost Mother found it amusing.
It's not just her obedient daughter who's ridiculous, but also this... grotesque combination of humans and monsters.
What an interesting combination.
But do these two really think they can kill themselves by teaming up?
What kind of naive idea is that to think a high-level monster could be killed by poison or mere supernatural abilities?
