Chapter 1585: The Oppression of the Poison Heads

"This..."

"Two more came?!!"

Wu Tongyuan and the other three, who thought they had escaped a disaster, were dumbfounded when they saw the two Tier 8 Poison Heads descending from the sky... The aura of these two Tier 8s was much stronger than the willow tree in front of them. Either one was probably capable of crushing them to death in five seconds.

Despair appeared on the faces of Wu Tongyuan and Qi Muyun, but Wen Ruoshui's eyes lit up visibly...

Wen Ruoshui knew very well that these two Tier 8 disasters hadn't appeared in the previous restart. In other words, this was most likely a backup plan left by Chen Ling!

The facts were just as Wen Ruoshui expected. As the boning knife buzzed again, the toad and the gecko hesitated briefly before rushing directly toward the massive willow disaster!

That willow disaster from the Bitter Flesh Turbid Forest never expected to encounter two Poison Heads from the Ghost Mockery Abyss at once. After feeling the deadly and sharp aura from the other side, it panicked directly. The dancing willow branches quickly retracted into the trunk, and its entire body seemed to want to shrink directly into the ground, terrified to the extreme.

But the toad didn't seem to intend to let it go. Its black long tongue streaked across the sky like lightning, directly wrapping around the half of the trunk that was about to drill into the ground, and then its legs kicked hard!

Boom—!!!

The earth beneath Wu Tongyuan and the other three exploded directly. The tree roots within a radius of several kilometers were uprooted, and the intricate tree roots twisted violently like living things. The trunk that had already drilled halfway into the ground emitted a heart-rending wail like a human.

As the willow tree was forcibly pulled out of the earth, amidst the splashing mud, another massive black shadow had already climbed onto the surface of the willow tree...

No one saw how the gecko, which had always been stationary, appeared on the trunk like a teleportation. Wu Tongyuan and the other three could only see that as the black shadow appeared like a ghost, the trunk, which had been like a living thing, suddenly began to turn into stone rapidly, as if some kind of toxin had been injected into the willow tree through the gecko's skin and palms.

The dancing willow branches gradually stiffened, and the pupils on the trunk were covered by a lime-like color... The gecko just lay on it quietly, its gaze dull, as if it had just casually climbed onto a wall, but the willow tree's struggle became more and more intense.

The willow tree seemed to have sensed the invasion of the toxin and actually split itself from the center, abandoning half of its body to "feed" the gecko, while the other half of the broken branches and withered leaves fell heavily to the ground, desperately continuing to drill into the ground...

Swish—

A black giant tongue wrapped around its broken limbs, and immediately after, the giant force dragged it across hundreds of meters!

The toad opened its mouth wide, the size of its mouth breaking the limits of physical rules, directly turning into a pitch-black, eerie abyss in the void. As the tongue dragged the screeching willow broken limbs into the abyss, it closed its mouth unhurriedly...

And then let out a burp.

The terrifying willow tree that was invincible in the eyes of Wu Tongyuan and the other three was kneaded at will like a chick in front of the toad and the gecko. Half was turned into stone, and half was swallowed into the belly... The whole process took less than two minutes.

"Are the creatures in this Gray Realm... all this scary?" Wu Tongyuan was already scared silly.

"No wonder Director Chen said that future humans will have a very hard time..." Qi Muyun gave a bitter smile. "Let alone after civilization regressed and world wars, even before this, in the heyday of our thermal weapons, we might not have been able to deal with these monsters."

"They're looking over here!!"

After slaughtering the Tier 8 general of the Bitter Flesh Turbid Forest, two pairs of highly oppressive eyes slowly landed on the three humans in front of them...

The three of them tensed up instantly, and the shadow of a life-and-death crisis climbed into their hearts!

"It..."

"Did it treat us as food too?"

Wu Tongyuan swallowed his saliva. He could clearly see that the toad's eyes were staring at them faintly, and the curiosity and heat in them were far greater than the willow tree just now... Its chin moved, and he didn't know if it was his imagination, but it seemed like a few strands of crystal-clear mucus were sliding down from the corner of its mouth.

As for the gecko on the side, it was lying on the ground blankly, not even looking at them.

Just as the toad’s gaze grew increasingly fervent, the bone-cleaving knife spun back to the front of the three, and as the blade hummed, a flicker of confusion surfaced once more in the toad’s eyes...

Just as the hearts of Wu Tongyuan and his two companions were in their throats,

A figure in red robes stepped lightly upon the earth.

Hum—!!

An aura of world-ending destruction surged forth instantly.

In that split second, both the toad and the gecko shuddered violently. Like mice seeing a cat, they didn't even need to turn their heads to look; they immediately prostrated themselves on the ground in terror, as if this had become an instinct carved into their very bones.

The two great calamities, which had been so imposing just a moment ago, were now suddenly groveling in humility, leaving Wu Tongyuan and his companions completely bewildered...

But when they turned to look, they saw a figure in theatrical robes, carrying the unconscious Ji Xuan on their back, walking slowly from between the two poison heads.

“Director... Director Chen?”

At this moment, the three of them were completely dumbfounded.

The terrifying willow tree had easily killed them and those ordinary calamities, and the two poisonous insects had easily killed the willow tree. Now that Chen Ling had arrived, the two poisonous insects were so frightened they were prostrating and kowtowing... It was self-evident who stood at the top of the food chain.

But Wu Tongyuan and the others couldn't understand: how could Chen Ling, a human, make these monsters—capable of easily overturning a city or even a nation—so terrified?

Chen Ling raised his hand slightly, and the bone-cleaving knife, covered in centipede legs, flew back into his palm automatically.

His gaze swept over the eighth-order poison heads on either side, his expression somewhat strange.

The moment Chen Ling realized that no matter which side he saved first, the other would fall into danger, he had already thought of bringing in reinforcements from the Ghost Mockery Abyss.

But the problem was, the Chen Ling of this era had never met the poison heads of the Ghost Mockery Abyss, so naturally, he couldn't trigger a Thought Storm. The only one who could contact the calamities of the Ghost Mockery Abyss was the previous centipede poison head residing within his bone-cleaving knife.

Chen Ling had communicated with this poison head; at this point in time, it was itself one of the poison heads of the Ghost Mockery Abyss... In other words, as long as it actively released a distress signal, it could attract reinforcements if any Ghost Mockery Abyss calamities happened to be passing by.

But this move carried risks.

After all, in this world, there was still "It" in its prime.

Once this aura was discovered by the centipede poison head of this world, and it saw a bone-cleaving knife inexplicably appear that was made from its own soul, it would likely be completely baffled and then detain it for careful study...

It might even alert the one currently in the Ghost Mockery Abyss... the King of Calamities in its prime.
