Chapter 332: Chapter 328: The Nightmare of Cordyceps

Ribbit?

The Desolate Ghost Frog King tilted his head curiously, just when he was about to search around, the poisonous gas above him suddenly surged violently. By the time it stopped transforming, it had turned into a figure resembling the Death God, clad in a black robe, and wielding a sickle.

If Bai Heguang was present, he would definitely recognize that this Death God’s appearance was almost identical to his Blood Scythe Wraith, except for the fact that this Death God was slightly smaller, which from a distance, made it look somewhat adorable.

Nightmare Death God, a semi-finished product of the Cordyceps replicating the Blood Scythe Wraith.

Upon seeing the Nightmare Death God’s emergence, the Desolate Ghost Frog King seemed to realize something. He gasped heavily, launching another round of poisonous gas cannon. However, the Nightmare Death God did not fear this. It let the poisonous gas cannon pass through its body and rushed towards the Desolate Ghost Frog King, brandishing its similarly small sickle.

Upon seeing this, the Desolate Ghost Frog King immediately altered his tactics, opening his mouth and spewing out a stream of black mucus. Before it even hit the ground, the mucus turned into countless lost souls targeting the Nightmare Death God.

But the Nightmare Death God seemed to be only an illusion, with both the poisonous gas cannon and the lost souls moving right through its body, allowing it to watch as the Nightmare Death God reached the face of the Desolate Ghost Frog King and swung its sickle at him.

Ribbit!

A surge of excruciating pain instantly shot through the Desolate Ghost Frog King’s mind. The once teasing attitude of the Desolate Ghost Frog King was instantly replaced by a provoked beastliness as it instinctively snapped at the Nightmare Death God, yet still ended up going right through it.

But after all, the Desolate Ghost Frog King was still a king-level creature. It opened its mouth and absorbed the lost souls back again. But unlike usual, the souls weren’t stored in its cheeks. It chewed them twice and then swallowed them directly.

Then, a soul-piercing cry came from the mouth of the Desolate Ghost Frog King. The Nightmare Death God, which was continuously inflicting damage on the Desolate Ghost Frog King, was also impacted and was actually dispersed.

And as the Nightmare Death God disappeared, the surrounding environment instantly changed.

However, it wasn’t the familiar Black Nightmare Swamp that the Desolate Ghost Frog King recognized, but a pure white surgical table.

Next to the operating table was an Ancestral Beast dressed in a white coat and holding a scalpel, walking towards him with a creepy smile.

“Yo, a rare specimen, let me slice a few pieces for research.”

Ribbit, ribbit!

Although the Desolate Ghost Frog King couldn’t understand what the Ancestral Beast was saying, it still sensed the threat from the scalpel and emitted another low cry. The Ancestral Beast and the strange room disappeared suddenly.

The Desolate Ghost Frog King croaked disdainfully a few times, preparing to find the Cordyceps to obliterate it completely. However, he found that his surroundings were still not the Black Nightmare Swamp; instead, it was a kitchen filled with all kinds of utensils.

And he was being soaked in a huge soup pot. Beside the pot, a slime monster wearing a white chef’s hat and holding several utensils, including a pot stirrer and a fork, was looking at him with anticipation. The look in its eyes was no different from when it was looking at food.

“Tell me, what dish do you want to be made into?”

Ribbit, ribbit, ribbit!

Upon seeing this, the Desolate Ghost Frog King used another low cry to break the illusion again. This time, it did not let down its guard but vigilantly scanned the surrounding environment.

As expected, it was still not home to his nest, but a strange and peculiar research room. Facing him was a double-headed wolf looking at him curiously.

“You are very valuable for research, lie down obediently.”

Ribbit!!!

After encountering three strange pets in a row, even the slow-witted Desolate Ghost Frog King knew he was being played. He roared full force, tearing the dreamland instantly. Through some gaps, he could vaguely see the Black Nightmare Swamp outside.

Under this kind of soul impact, the dreamland of the Cordyceps was about to be broken.

However, before the Desolate Ghost Frog King could rejoice, streaks of black mist suddenly emerged from those cracks, slowly converging into a Crystal Skeleton wielding a black long sword.

“Fight, or die!”

Ribbit!

The dreamland shattered again, and this time, no new creatures appeared, only the Nightmare Death God that had been shattered into pieces by it at the beginning.

This time, the Nightmare Death God seemed to be much larger than before.

Though bewildered, the somewhat weary Desolate Ghost Frog King still shattered the Nightmare Death God.

Immediately following, there was that Ancestral Beast fond of dissection, the chef slime monster, the investigator double-headed wolf, and the battle-crazed Crystal Skeleton…

The seemingly endless cycle began to tire the Desolate Ghost Frog King, while the Nightmare Death God grew larger and larger, gradually surpassing the Desolate Ghost Frog King.

“Hehehe… let me reap your soul…”

The Cordyceps, now transformed into the Nightmare Death God, looked at the visibly weary Desolate Ghost Frog King below it. Its initial fear completely vanished, replaced by boundless confidence. It swung its sickle and struck at the Desolate Ghost Frog King.

Ribbit!

This time, the Desolate Ghost Frog King could not shatter the Nightmare Death God, a being born from its endless fear. It could only watch helplessly as the Nightmare Death God cut a deep wound on its body. The intense pain made it let out a sky-shattering roar.

The Black Nightmare Swamp.

Bai Qi held a sunflower seed in his hand, watching the eager Cordyceps hover around the sleeping Desolate Ghost Frog King, continuously sprinkling sleeping pollen over it, and nodded slightly.

“A king-level creature has fallen for it. Should I say that the Cordyceps are too strong, or the Desolate Ghost Frog King is too weak?”

Hearing this, Jerry glanced at the Sun Wheel on the Cordyceps, constantly absorbing sunlight, and said: “The bloodline of the Sun Beetle hasn’t fully awakened yet, but after all, it’s a mythical species, so the effects of the same skills are different.”

“However, didn’t you, Jerry, help out earlier? Otherwise, it shouldn’t have been so easy to hypnotize the Desolate Ghost Frog.”

Bai Qi looked at Jerry with a smile, and Jerry didn’t hide it and simply nodded his head.

“It was just something I did on a whim.”

“I see. But it doesn’t matter. As long as Epsilon gains confidence, it’s okay. It’s really disgraceful that a Mythical Symbiotic Species is always so fearful.”

“But why hasn’t this guy parasitized yet? If it wakes up later, it won’t be so easy to hypnotize it again.”

Awo?

(But why do I feel that the big frog is about to wake up?)

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Desolate Ghost Frog suddenly woke up, followed by a roar of rage. The originally delighted Bug Grass was startled and quickly distanced itself from the Desolate Ghost Frog.

The intense pain of the soul caused the Desolate Ghost Frog to break free from its deep sleep. The anger meter was instantly maxed out, and a dense force field was immediately diffused, directly enveloping the Bug Grass.

“Boss, save me!”

The Bug Grass was full of regret at this moment. It was too busy constructing endless dreams to erode the Desolate Ghost Frog’s spirit and missed the chance to take up residence in the Desolate Ghost Frog’s body. Now it had gone too far.

“Really, speak of the devil.”

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi helplessly shook his head, while Jerry had rushed out. The Judgment Scale immediately unfolded, and the force field immediately penetrated into the field of the Desolate Ghost Frog.

Against Jerry’s sudden attack, the already mentally and physically exhausted Desolate Ghost Frog had hardly any resistance and had its soul deeply invaded by the power of judgment.

The scale tipped, and strands of black air emerged from the Judgment Scale, continuously entering the body of the Desolate Ghost Frog. The formerly intimidating Desolate Ghost Frog had its force field shattered and its condition worsen spectacularly after these black auras invaded it.

Curse: Weakness.

“Epsilon, you handle the rest.”

Looking at the Desolate Ghost Frog whose spirit and physique had entered a state of dual weakness, Jerry didn’t seem to want to strike the final blow, but signaled for Bug Grass to step forward.

“Me?”

The Bug Grass asked uncertainly. But, seeing Jerry nod, it quickly became excited again. Its wings flapped as it landed on the Desolate Ghost Frog. Its sharp mouthparts pierced through the skin of the Desolate Ghost Frog directly and skillfully moved towards the central structure.

Croak!!!

The intense pain caused the Desolate Ghost Frog to scream, but its weak body made it difficult for it to move, let alone resist. It could only give out screams of sorrow on the spot.

At last, the cries of the Desolate Ghost Frog subsided. Bug Grass, with a satisfied look crawled out of the body of the Desolate Ghost Frog. Looking at the huge frog corpse below it, it seemed to still be savoring it.

The central structure of a King-level creature was definitely a great tonic for it. After complete digestion, it might be able to level up directly.

Bai Qi approached Bug Grass and asked, “How does it feel to defeat your archenemy?”

“Thank you, boss, I feel much more relaxed.”

Bug Grass was full of gratitude, but before it could flatter a few words, it was punched on the head by Bai Qi.

“Why didn’t you parasitize sooner just now? Don’t you know that being frightened while dreaming will wake him up?”

“I was wrong. I will definitely learn my lesson from this and not make the same mistake again!”

Upon hearing Bai Qi’s reprimand, Bug Grass immediately admitted fault, acknowledging his mistake without hesitation.

If those initial dreams were to erode the will of the Desolate Ghost Frog and avoid waking it up while it’s parasitizing, the subsequent infinite loop operation was purely because he was having too much fun.

“Hmm.”

Seeing Bug Grass admitting his mistake, Bai Qi nodded.

In fact, he also knew Bai Qi’s idea. Regardless of Jerry’s help and the bonus from the Mythical Species bloodline, it was difficult for a high-ranking lord to trap a King-level creature in a dream. Bug Grass had done a very good job trapping it this far and wearing out the Desolate Ghost Frog.

However, Bug Grass lacked direct offensive abilities. If it faced an opponent like Husky, it might not be able to maximize its effects.

After going back to headquarters and consulting with Nicholas, we’ll see what changes will occur after fusion with the Green Dragon’s Scales.

“Speaking of which, what dream did you mold after all? What I showed you shouldn’t affect a wild Ferocious Beast like the Desolate Ghost Frog, right?”

Bai Qi looked at Bug Grass curiously, while Gamma and Delta who were processing the Desolate Ghost Frog’s corpse also paused and looked curiously at Bug Grass.

“Cough cough…it was nothing, just a reenactment of the Blood Scythe Wraith.”

Bug Grass looked away somewhat guiltily, not daring to meet the eyes of Husky and the others.

If this was revealed, then what the Desolate Ghost Frog had experienced would no longer be nightmares, but would immediately become reality.

And the target, of course, would be him.

Yes, he must keep it to himself!
