Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter Fifteen: Gray Fog

The 'Molotov cocktail' struck the 'giant spider with a human face' right between the eyebrows, and the giant spider was now engulfed in scorching flames.

However, the black aura on the giant spider's outer layer only dimmed slightly under the scorching heat of the fire. This black aura firmly enveloped the giant spider, preventing it from suffering any harm!

As the black mist dissipated, the raging fire extinguished with a hissing sound, as if it had encountered heavy rain. With the dissipation of a large amount of water vapor, thick smoke was produced, and oil dripped down bit by bit!

The numbers floating beside the 'giant spider' also changed slightly, becoming '49~49'!

"What? You're cheating, right? And you even have invincibility? I'm reporting you!"

Han Yi was a bit dumbfounded. Even though his attack power, now wielding the Molotov cocktail, had exceeded the giant spider's defense threshold, this layer of black energy seemed to make the giant spider immune to any form of attack, as if a god had descended to earth!

Not only that, this 'giant spider with human face' is also incredibly strong, tireless like a robot!

How do we deal with such a monster?

Waiting online, it’s urgent!

"what?"

After the 'Giant Spider with Human Face' fell from mid-air, it remained motionless in place, like a clay or wooden sculpture. If it weren't for the slight trembling of its massive body, it would have looked like a completely lifeless object.

"It seems the 'Molotov cocktail' wasn't ineffective after all," a thought flashed through Han Yi's mind. "Could it be the billowing smoke from the fire...?"

"Strike while the iron is hot, let's give it our all!"

He gritted his teeth and barely managed to circulate the remaining vital energy. 'Swallow Flight'!

He moved like the wind, his fingers touching the layer of black mist in an instant!

A familiar, chilling aura instantly reached the depths of his mind.

Ding!

[Found to absorb yin energy, should it be absorbed?]

【Yes】

Han Yi did not hesitate

A chill ran from my arms through my limbs and bones.

Although he had mentally prepared himself, his body still instinctively shuddered.

In an instant, the layers of black energy flowing over the 'giant human-faced spider' melted away like a thin mist under the blazing sun.

[Elemental Power Value]: 50

"50 Yuan Power Points? And my lifespan has increased by 5 years?" Han Yi was a little excited. As the black energy disappeared, the giant spider, which had been standing there like a wooden stake, suddenly became much weaker, and even its body seemed to have become thinner.

"Hmm..."

Looking at the giant spider, which remained motionless even after all the black energy around it had been absorbed, Han Yi pondered for a moment.

The value floating above the 'giant spider's' head has changed to '30~40'.

His upper thigh muscles bulged, and he launched a probing attack with a 'Flying Swallow Kick - Swallow Peck'.

咚

Han Yi rubbed his sore and swollen legs. Even though the black mist had dissipated, the 'giant human-faced spider's' shell was still incredibly hard!

This attack seemed to awaken the 'giant spider,' which twisted its ferocious body and pounced on Han Yi.

However, without the protection of the black energy, its strength and speed have decreased significantly. Even without using its blood and qi, Han Yi easily dodged it!

"Even if the black aura disappears, without sophisticated weapons, it seems my current strength isn't enough to break through this 'giant spider's' defenses..."

"Looks like I'll have to rely on my ultimate weapon!" Han Yi thought to himself.

crackling

Han Yi flashed forward and threw all the incendiary bombs around the 'giant human-faced spider'.

Suddenly!

A raging fire exploded and ignited inside the cave, and the 'giant human-faced spider' let out a series of eerie screams, while a smell like burning long hair filled the air.

Han Yi stood at the cave entrance, unmoved. He gazed at the piles of white bones on the ground, his eyes cold and his expression grim, his hands clasped behind his back. "Indeed, guns and cannons are the only truth. Let the flames purify all this..."

"Cough, cough..."

Han Yi coughed several times, choked by the thick smoke, and hurriedly ran to the outside of the cave to hide. The air of a reclusive master he had just created vanished in an instant.

"These days, can't we even pretend to be an expert?"

The flames gradually died down, the smoke slowly dissipated, and the pungent smell of ashes lingered as things burned away.

The giant spider with a human face lay not far away, its body charred black, and it no longer twitched.

"This is?"

Han Yi's eyes flickered, and he saw what appeared to be a white object beneath the black ashes.

He stepped forward and kicked away the remains of the 'giant spider' in a few quick movements.

A plain handkerchief suddenly appeared before my eyes. The handkerchief was brightly colored and lustrous, clearly made of the finest silk. There were even specks of blood on the handkerchief, forming plum blossoms. But instead of staining the handkerchief, the blood blended perfectly with the plum blossom branches embroidered on the handkerchief, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene!

Han Yi remained silent. Even in its dying moments, this 'giant human-faced spider' was determined to protect the 'handkerchief' beneath its body!

He picked up the handkerchief.

Ding!

[A purifiable magical artifact has been detected. Purify it?]

[Note: Purification requires Elemental Power.]

"Huh, a magical artifact?" Han Yi frowned slightly.

"This word doesn't sound like a proper weapon, and besides, I have so much Yuan energy right now..." He pondered for a long time.

"Purify!" In a daze, Han Yi seemed to have arrived in a remote town, not knowing which year or month it was, or where it was. Although the location was remote, the government was honest and efficient, and the people were well-fed, clothed, and lived in peace and contentment.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the streets were bustling with activity. Peddlers called out their wares one after another, and the sounds of neighbors talking and children playing could be heard clearly. It was a lively and bustling scene.

Inside a courtyard, two kind-looking women were doing needlework while chatting about everyday matters. One of the women would occasionally glance tenderly at her daughter playing under the ancient cypress tree nearby.

"Nannan, watch your step, don't run too fast!"

"Okay, Mother."

The little girl answered in a playful tone. Her eyes were big and bright, like two crescent moons when she smiled, and with her shallow dimples, she was extremely cute.

But at some unknown time and from some unknown place, wisps of gray mist slowly rose, initially unnoticed by anyone.

"This fog is acting strangely..."

"What's there to be afraid of? Maybe it's going to rain."

The gray fog gradually spread throughout the small town, but no one paid any attention, treating it as a normal change in the weather!

As time passed, the mist slowly seeped into everyone's body and mind...

Within the small town

A mere quarrel escalated into a brutal act: a butcher brandished a butcher's knife and slashed at the arguing customers; a down-on-his-luck scholar set fire to the examination hall to vent his frustrations; and a local thug broke into a private residence and committed a bestial act to satisfy his lust…

It seems that the gray fog has made people lose their minds and has stirred up the deepest malice in everyone's heart!

A subject murders his ruler, a son rebels against his father, a brother kills his elder brother! The Three Cardinal Guides are in chaos, and the Five Constant Virtues are out of order!

The streets were filled with the sounds of fighting, and flames roared from inside the houses!

Inside the courtyard, the little girl who had been playing under the ancient cypress tree cried and returned to her mother's side, the two of them hugging tightly and hiding in a corner.

But the little girl gradually felt that her mother's embrace was no longer as warm as before, but was becoming cold and damp.

She looked up and could vaguely make out a pair of blood-red eyes in the gray mist…....

The handkerchief fell to the ground, its bloodstains forming clusters of 'plum blossoms'...
