Under the relentless torment of Yan Ling and Yao Qing, the two-meter-tall low-grade peak monster in front of them was finally covered in wounds, and its own regenerative ability was nearing its limit.

The strange creature's recovery ability is indeed very strong.

But ultimately, there are still limits.

After suffering severe damage, the most obvious sign of their decline is that they gradually become unable to maintain their physical existence.

Perhaps, the state of the ethereal body is the most original form of the ghost.

In short, the strange creature in front of us is about to be sent away.

"Should we execute him directly?" Yan Ling asked.

“No, wait—” Liu Ren said.

He was just about to say that he would wait for Liang Nian and the others to come down, and then let Liang Nian try to enter the ghost realm.

Before he could even utter a word, the monster in front of him let out a piercing shriek.

“————!!”

"Well……"

Yao Qing and Yan Ling's expressions changed instantly, and they quickly covered their ears.

Even though the movement was very fast, the sudden shriek still ripped my eardrum.

Although it recovered quickly.

But that kind of pain is not pleasant.

"Why don't we just take it out?" After the shriek ended, Yan Ling said fiercely, "Anyway, it's only at the peak of the low-grade level. Liang Nian's mental strength probably can't withstand it. Let's find her a low-grade early-stage monster before she tries it. That way, the success rate might be higher."

"Hmm—you have a point." Liu Ren nodded.

He didn't cover his ears.

Given his physical condition, that sonic attack couldn't have harmed him.

"Then I'll do it!"

After receiving a positive response, Yan Ling was overjoyed and charged towards the heavily injured monster once again.

Upon seeing this, Yao Qing immediately went to assist in the battle.

Even without Liu Ren's help, executing a severely injured low-level peak-strength monster was not much of a challenge for the two of them.

Liu Ren stood behind them and watched them make their move.

The result was as expected.

only……

His keen hearing suddenly picked up some fragmented sounds.

At first, he thought it was his imagination.

But soon, these sounds became more frequent and clearer.

"!?"

As Yao Qing leaped down and cleaved the monster in two from top to bottom.

Suddenly, countless black figures appeared in the tomb.

"Holy crap! What is this?!"

Yan Ling shone her flashlight in that direction and immediately swore.

Countless black insects, each as big as a head, crawled out of the holes in the wall.

Then it transformed into a black tide, surging towards the three people standing in the middle of the tomb.

"We're doomed—what do we do now?"

Yao Qing quickly moved closer, standing back-to-back with Yan Ling and Liu Ren.

She kept scanning her surroundings with her flashlight, trying to find a gap in the encirclement.

But the more they swept, the more desperate they became.

She didn't find the gap, but she did estimate the number of these black insects.

It's at least a hundred!

"What else can we do but start killing?"

Liu Ren remained as calm as ever.

He held the knife and said to the two men, "Try to fight back to back to avoid being ambushed. I don't mind, but you two must be careful."

"Yes!"

"Do it!"

The three of them quickly stepped forward, waving their strange tools to meet the oncoming swarm of black insects.

...Is this considered a "swarm"?

Liu Ren didn't know.

Anyway, these aren't things he should be researching.

The form, type, or even the names of these strange creatures...

These tasks will then be handed over to the research institute.

At that time, we might be able to get Ma Ming to create an "illustrated guide".

For now, let's just call these things "insects".
