“Man-made gods?” A gleam of interest flashed across Jiang Cheng’s eyes. He tugged at the corners of his lips and exchanged a glance with Black Dragon.
Both revealed smiles full of meaning. However, Black Dragon’s smile was even crazier and unsettling.
Seeing that they had aroused Jiang Cheng’s interest, Doctor Ghost waved his hand with a fanatic look. “Open it.”
Two assistants dressed in white immediately removed the black cloth shrouding the cylindrical object.
A transparent container as tall as three meters appeared in everyone’s sights.
The container was filled with a light-gray liquid. Merely looking at the liquid made one instinctively feel a sense of danger and discomfort.
And inside that liquid was also a curled-up human figure.
It was a woman. Her features were gorgeous. Jet-black strands of hair fluttered slightly in the liquid—her beauty was exceptional.
Presently, her eyes were closed. Both her hands were hugging her knees, looking like a mermaid fast asleep at the bottom of the sea.
A small tube extended out, connecting the container and her as one.
On the woman’s back, eight aberrated, spear-like spider legs protruded. Even through the container, one could sense the sharpness of these pitch-black chelicerae. It was as if they could easily rip carbon steel apart!
“Still lacking a little.” Sensing the twisted aura radiating from that woman, Jiang Cheng shook his head lightly, seemingly unsatisfied.
Doctor Ghost’s mechanical eyeball turned slightly, and he said with a smile, “Indeed. We still need one last step.”
Before his words fell, Doctor Ghost had walked to the apparatus by the side and pressed a red button.
All of a sudden, a different liquid seemed to be injected into the container. The light-gray liquid quickly became dark and somber, turning into a dreamlike purple.
At the same time, the eyelids of the woman—who was originally deep in sleep—began trembling violently. An expression of agony appeared on her face.
Dark-purple lines formed at the corner of her eyes and spread swiftly.
An extremely blasphemous and evil aura radiated outward with the container as the center!
The woman abruptly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of pitch-black eyeballs. There wasn’t the slightest hint of white. Through that stagnant, water-like blackness, it was as if one could see the color of the Dreamlands.
She let out a soundless snarl, but some kind of intangible wave seemed to ripple outward in the laboratory!
The containers—which were full of unknown liquids—exploded at this moment!
Two of Doctor Ghost’s assistants also held their heads at once. But their heads still burst open like thoroughly ripe watermelons beneath this frightening wave.
A speck of splendid radiance flashed through Jiang Cheng’s eyes. He could not help but praise, “Not bad.”
This strange event did not last long. Very soon, the young woman inside the container closed her eyes once again.
The purple liquid became increasingly sticky. Finally, it turned into a huge cocoon, enveloping the woman.
Doctor Ghost didn’t even spare a glance at the two assistants’ corpses on the ground. He still introduced zealously, “This is the body we found that is the best fit for Spider God’s aura. We just have to wait till she breaks out of the cocoon. It will definitely give the world a surprise!”
“By then, her level will reach Stage Five. Most importantly, she—who is like the God of Evil’s offspring—will possess the possibility of unlimited growth! She also won’t fall into madness and disintegrate due to receiving too many of the God of Evil’s rewards! She will become our sharpest spear!”
Clap clap!
Applause sounded; Jiang Cheng clapped his hands smilingly and said, “This is a pretty good work of art.”
Black Dragon narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and deep. “You have already seen my results. I need to have more support from the organization.”
“I will truthfully report everything to the organization.” Jiang Cheng nodded understandingly but did not make a promise right away.
…
On the other side, the grounds of the city.
An invisible wave swept across Link and the others’ bodies.
Even though there was still some distance between this area and the source of the wave, Zhao Yongkang and the others still felt slight dizziness and fear.
“Are there any frightening creatures around?” Luo Xinghe frowned and gripped the longsword in his hand tightly.
Link’s eyes narrowed slightly. In his senses were multiple strong and twisted auras in the basement of that three-story villa not far out.
“We should be arriving soon,” stated Link in a deep voice and walked toward that empty villa.
Upon hearing these words, a hint of graveness flashed across Xue Linglong, Zhao Yongkang, and the others’ faces.
The Black Dragon Gang was an extremely sinister organization. They were able to communicate with the God of Evil through special ritual procedures. People could not help but fear them.
Everyone was prepared to go into battle at any time. Six-winged angel Yuna and God Devourer Ant followed closely behind Link.
After entering the villa, what came into sight were corpses lying in disarray. These corpses were all shriveled as if they’d been drained of blood.
On the walls everywhere, there were also crimson-red drawings. They were like a child’s scribbles, but they were filled with a profane and impure aura.
But other than these, Zhao Yongkang and the others didn’t find any other living beings in the villa.
Zhao Yongkang bore the corpses’ stench and said, “Could we have come to the wrong place? This ought to be the Black Dragon Gang’s old base, but it seems to have been abandoned already.”
Luo Xinghe also commented confusedly, “Has the Black Dragon Gang already left, or have they dug a hole and hid themselves?”
Six-winged angel Yuna swung her staff, and golden holy light energy radiated out from her body like waves.
The tattered bodies inside the villa were all shrouded in the golden light and turned into ashes.
Xue Linglong only gripped the long spear in her hands tightly. She trusted her lord’s judgment; he certainly wouldn’t make a mistake.
Link’s countenance remained cold. He pointed to the underground, and the [King’s Sword] had already appeared in his hand.
At the same time, extremely sharp sword energy spread out from Link!
The [Spring and Autumn Sword Technique] was launched!
The piercing sword intent abruptly rose and filled the entire abandoned villa!
Link’s white robes flapped; his bearing was aloof as if a sword immortal had strode over the long river of time to arrive here!
Without hesitation, he swung the sword at the ground beneath their feet.
A golden sword ray instantly leaped out from the sword blade. Sword energy that was as turbulent as a river slammed into the ground harshly!
A roar instantly exploded in the area!
The current Link could even suppress a Stage Six existence transformed from a Semi-Sage’s imprint—his might was imaginable.
Even some Stage Five monsters couldn’t match up to his attributes!
With just one slash, it was as if this area had encountered a frightening earthquake!
Gravel flew in all directions; the ground was easily torn like white paper by that flaming sword ray!
After the cement on the ground was ripped apart, Link’s sword energy also tore into the hidden metal layer!
A massive space appeared before Xue Linglong and the others’ eyes!
Luo Xinghe and company could not help opening their mouths slightly.
“We’ve finally found it. It turns out the Black Dragon Gang has really become field mice during this period of time!” Zhao Yongkang sighed and tightened his grip around the blade in his hand. A cold light gleamed in his eyes.
Right at this moment, a sharp whistle sounded.
The Black Dragon Gang members all frowned and passed on the information regarding the enemy’s attack!
