Chun retraced his steps, activating Invisibility the moment he vanished from the team's view.
"Earth Lotus, provide me with protection, activate the Shrinking Earth Technique!"
"Okay, Father!"
Chun switched scenes with every step, changed maps with every two steps, and quickly approached the previous battlefield.
He saw dead bugs scattered everywhere in the forest, by the road, and on the swamp, with exploded flesh, and a green mist rising from the swamp.
This setup made Chun completely unwilling to hide underwater.
Then, advancing cautiously, he saw the two fleshy mountains; the Eight-headed Serpent was defeated!
He then heard the faint, chaotic buzzing coming from under the meat mountain! It sounded like a broken fan, incomparable to the previous overwhelming force when the plane took off.
He understood; when the Eight-headed Serpent died, it pressed down on it, and it was struggling!
Chun was overjoyed; this was truly a player's windfall!
At this moment, Chun really wanted to go back and call everyone! But regular little bugs would self-destruct, and that cockroach met in the sewer would self-destruct too; this super Boss that just got the Eight-headed Serpent's Crystal Core might also self-destruct, which would ruin the whole team's mission and bankrupted the Consortium, would it not?
Therefore, he could only rely on himself! No, what am I by myself? Depend on Earth Lotus!
"Earth Lotus, do you have a way to kill this beetle?"
"Yes, I can shield Father, then you go and pin it down, and I'll use Root Entanglement to drain its energy; it might not self-destruct!"
Chun was determined: "Let's do it!"
Chun quietly followed the sound, he found it!
Underneath the meat mountain, a piece of fatty meat and earth trembled, it seemed to be burrowing out!
Holy Shit, good thing I made a decisive move to come with the Shrinking Earth technique in time, otherwise—
In any case, as long as it shows its head, pin it down. With my few hundred weight load plus the assistance of the meat mountain, holding a bug's head should not be a problem, right?
Chun selected a position with his back against the meat mountain, to prevent being shaken off by its struggle.
He held his breath like waiting for a rabbit, watching the increasingly shifting soil, his heartbeat stuck in his throat!
A flash of black, a small piece of black armor squeezed out!
Not enough, stay calm!
More black armor squeezed out, covered in what seemed like either bug blood or the Eight-headed Serpent's blood's viscous liquid, seemingly too slippery to get a grip, stay calm!
Another patch of black and white color squeezed out!
Holy Shit, Chun almost puked, this looked like a squashed cockroach—with its guts out—but is this broken armor, Heaven's help! Now is the time to act!
"Earth Lotus!!!"
"Go for it, Father!!"
Chun pressed his back against the meat mountain, both Earth Flame Hands like red jade grabbed the white flesh, while two purple streams of light wrapped around Chun's hands like vines and rooted into the white flesh!
A red light exploded before Chun's eyes:
——System Prompt: Warning! You launched an attack on the super Boss Chaos Beetle…
At that moment, a violent tremor and screaming exploded and surged towards him!
Chun's screen also shook, dozens, hundreds of shield breakdown damages poured out!
At the same time, a large stream of black light poured from the white flesh up Chun's hands and spread throughout his body, his Shield Value rapidly recovering at tens by tens!
This is Aileen's absorbing power, using its energy to replenish the demolished shield, swapping one for another...
Time passed second by second, the shaking on the screen only visible through jumping numbers...
Until, the opponent's numbers got smaller, the screen's shaking also got smaller—until it suddenly stilled!
——System Prompt: Warning! Super Boss Chaos Beetle is about to self-destruct, respond with all your might!
In the end, it will self-destruct!
Chun felt a chill down to his heart at that moment!
Earth Lotus's voice came through: "Father, leave it to me, I haven't lost yet!"
Had I lost but she had not?
No time to think: "Earth Lotus, it all depends on you!"
A loud bang, the entire screen flashed white, then instantly went black!
——System Prompt: You were killed by the self-destruction, your parasitic Earth Spirit Earth Lotus has taken over your body.
——System Prompt: Your clone was impacted in the soul, it will enter a dormant state for a period.
The screen went completely black!
Chun sat there in a daze for a moment, the screen too stayed dark for a while, utterly silent!
Crashing? Chun switched to the main account and looked, it did not crash, the main account was aimlessly swinging a hoe under the sunset.
Holy Shit! What an odd situation!
Stay calm!
One can infer that my alt character's body was indeed taken over by Earth Lotus, just like Aileen took over my main account. My alt should not have got back to the city from death but turned into a zombie staying on the battlefield.
Yet the beetle self-destructed; it must have died! It's dead, its Crystal Core, the Eight-headed Serpent Crystal Core it just swallowed, and all the experience from a solo super Boss, all not lacking!!
The alt bursting with Power of Chaos, slaying demons with True Damage and a level so high Consortium players cannot suspect, might even further comprehend the Asura, exactly! Only reaching this level is qualified to mingle on the 7th layer of Hell…
Ha-ha~~~ Wow ha-ha-ha-ha~~~~~~~
Realizing all this, Chun's pressure was entirely relieved, and this feeling could not be compared even to receiving the college entrance examination acceptance letter back then…
He laughed for a minute, laughed himself exhausted, only then did Chun slowly come back to his senses, turn over this page, time to stay calm, stay composed!
Speaking of, what would Earth Lotus do after taking over my body? Will she shrink earth and catch up with the team to continue the mission? Will she use the Consortium channel to shake someone up? Holy Shit, could there be exposure?
No, no, she is the legitimate NPC, an exposure would be my business! Better still if she takes over, even if encountering Consortium players there probably won't be an issue.
Afterward, well, hungry and tired.
Check the time, almost 5 o'clock. Good, nap for a while, wait for the game's nightfall, main account continue to hang out with the old foreman, then when the restaurant opens, go out and feast.
...
In the middle of a nap, Aileen's voice came through: "Big event happening!"
Chun suddenly woke up, looking at the game, the sky was indeed dark, the entire island lit brightly, clattering sounds of dinosaurs resounded like a big factory.
Evil Spirit City had returned!
Chun first asked Aileen: "What's the situation?"
Aileen said: "I woke up from a nap too, and was woken by the noise, finding Southern Canyon full of formidable Elite Boss monsters, even including a Two-legged Flying Dragon Shaman, feels like the village is in danger!"
Holy Shit such high-end siege Boss! It couldn't be dug out by the Consortium on the first layer, it could only be the dozens of carts I sold? But clearly, it was Tata War God who lured the monsters, he counts as a Consortium player too, why would he attack the village occupied by the Consortium?
Chun was puzzled and couldn't figure it out: "So, you're going to save the villagers?"
Aileen laughed heartily: "I'm going to take advantage of them both fighting to mutual destruction and massively ambush and harvest these advanced Bosses, I can grow rapidly this way!"
Not quite kind enough! But right, it's all about mutual destruction for harvesting.
Chun reminded: "You must cover your identity, do not expose it!"
"Got it, got it wow ha-ha-ha~~~"
