Wasteland Border Inspector - Chapter 696

Chapter 696: Chapter 235: Epilogue, Luokuke’s “Death”!

Bang!

A massive force struck from behind.

It was like being ruthlessly pushed, and Cheng Ye was thrust straight through the light gate.

Because he wasn’t wearing the Cotton Room attire, he crashed into the sponge barrier of the Demon Eye Sponge the next second. The impact was so heavy, he felt a dull pain in his chest.

Then, his body slid to the ground as if glued to a slippery wall.

Deliberate!

Tan Ming definitely did it on purpose!

Cheng Ye cursed inwardly, stood up, and dusted off his back, when suddenly an unprecedented emptiness washed over him.

So weak!

Without the cover of the blood-colored Withered Armor, even though he wore the Destruction Level Obsidian Battle Armor, the feeling of “weakness” still surged through his nerves.

It was like suddenly reverting from steel and bones to flesh and blood, far more prominent than losing his physical talents, and if he felt it carefully, he could even sense the threat of the Demon Eye Sponge seeping through, offering no sense of security!

Only.

Cheng Ye instinctively raised his hand, his gaze falling on the back of his hand.

The faint green Vital Rune on the back of his right hand flickered slightly in response to his gaze.

The back of his left hand, to his surprise, now bore a dark red Withered Rune!

The two runes, one green, one red, interplayed on his skin, not clashing at all, instead exuding a harmonious fluctuation of coexistence and cyclical renewal.

Can life and withering truly coexist?

Cheng Ye was suddenly invigorated, his scattered eyes refocused, and he couldn’t help but smile.

So satisfying!

Old Tan, I didn’t misjudge you after all!

Unexpectedly, Tan Ming had agreed and bestowed both runes upon him!

With his left hand, he could summon the Blood Shadow Corps, and with his right hand, he could wield the Power of Vitality…

Wait, wouldn’t summoning the Blood Shadow Corps to help cultivate, sow, and harvest also be a form of ideological fusion?

Cheng Ye rejoiced inwardly, his fingers gently caressing the runes on the back of his hand.

Even with the armor between them, he could feel clearly that the two runes were not yet fully activated. The Collector had only deciphered their basic functions. The specific control methods and task details would likely only be unlocked after Tan Ming and the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch’s battle ended.

Thinking of this, Cheng Ye suddenly stiffened, a fleeting image from before passing through the light gate flashed in his mind.

At that time, the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch on the lake seemed to have taken form as well?

It also transformed into a towering white mist giant about a hundred meters high, enveloped in dense vitality, its power no less intimidating than Tan Ming’s blood-colored humanoid figure.

“No wonder Tan Ming insisted on gathering enough energy before proceeding to the final showdown…”

Cheng Ye frowned, a wave of horror surged in his heart.

Wasn’t the energy level of the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch weakened to an extremely low point by him? Yet judging by its transformed power, it clearly wasn’t that simple on the surface!

How long has this Immortal Object been hiding under the White Water River?

Or how much power has it amassed while wandering elsewhere?

The external energy, the Crab-men, and the vitality of the dense forest have indeed been exhausted, but it still harbored an enormous amount of energy inside, probably not much less than the energy contained in a hundred thousand Crab-men!

Without Tan Ming’s help, could he and Luokuke really complete the containment?

The questions emerged in his mind, and Cheng Ye couldn’t help but shake his head, almost certain of the answer.

It’s almost an impossible challenge to accomplish.

Even ignoring the explosive timing of the Spiritual Contamination, relying solely on the Heart-Protecting Fire to deplete the energy over time slowly, won’t work.

As soon as the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch senses a descending singular contamination, he’ll end up dead inside.

And even if he could eventually exhaust the Conch’s energy without being noticed, aside from himself, no one else would survive in Dapo Town.

“Indeed, containing the source of infection can’t be done by force alone; one must find ways to ally and borrow strength.”

Cheng Ye concluded to himself, “More importantly is intelligence; without knowing the presence of Tan Ming, the real situation in the caves, or the true form and energy reserves of the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch, this containment couldn’t possibly succeed.”

Once intelligence was mentioned, a gnawing resentment was inevitable, unconsciously recalling Yueye Shelter City.

If it hadn’t been for Yueye deliberately concealing crucial information about the caves, the initial phase wouldn’t have turned into a passive scenario.

If intelligence had been shared in time, simply tracking the traces of the missing along the way would have made it easy to locate the remnants of the Poison Water Crystals and the activity traces of the Crab-men, potentially even discovering the Demon Eye Sponge under the White Water River earlier.

Yet Yueye purposely hid this piece of intelligence, causing over a thousand participants in the assessment to become guinea pigs probing the danger.

Even four Inspectors nearly perished less than a hundred kilometers from Happiness City, in their own “territory.”

Thankfully, he discovered the presence of the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch in time; otherwise, if this Immortal Object were to erupt completely, forming a Disaster Level or even Destruction Level contamination tide, the impact would extend far beyond Dapo Town.

The entire Happiness City, or even the southern part of Stone Province, would suffer catastrophic consequences, and even dragging out the City Lord of Yueye Shelter City to be slain a hundred times over wouldn’t quench the hatred.

Of course, as long as the information from this incident is conveyed, even if Yueye Shelter City doesn’t perish, it will surely suffer severely!

Cheng Ye, donning the Cotton Room clothes placed nearby, rubbed his fingertip along the runes on the back of his hand, pausing momentarily, then softly said toward the light gate:

“Lord Tan, I’m heading out first. If you don’t care for the shards of the Ten Thousand Orders Land Conch, send me a message, and I’ll come back for the containment!”

He didn’t care if Tan Ming could hear him. After finishing his words, he turned around and walked away.

Passing through the various tunnels of the Cotton Room, his body gradually returned to its initial five-meter height as space shifted.
