I am becoming the ultimate demon.

Chapter 55 The Calamity of the Blood Lotus Cult

Based on the system's prompts, it's almost certain that this eerie creature has only two methods: mental attacks and extreme stealth.

Once its location is exposed, or even if someone gets close, it will be a fatal disaster for it.

The Dreamweaver Spider, facing a life-threatening situation, finally used all its strength.

A massive mental shock pressed down on Ji Lin, causing his body to stiffen abruptly, forcing him to concentrate all his will to resist.

If you lose focus even slightly, your consciousness may be completely eroded.

"While the [Echoes of Dragon's Might] is powerful, it is ultimately too passive... If it encounters an even more ferocious and bizarre being, and cannot withstand the first wave of impact, wouldn't it be certain death?"

The thought had barely formed in his mind when his body trembled violently.

Immediately afterwards, the familiar twitching sensation swept over me, and dizziness struck the back of my head like a hammer blow.

His mental energy was rapidly dwindling, and the edges of his consciousness were beginning to blur.

"That rambling...it's happening again..."

"Haa..."

He couldn't help but let out a long yawn, his eyelids heavy as mountains.

As my consciousness wavered, the eerie murmur in my mind suddenly amplified.

This time, however, it was not torture. Instead, it acted as a shield, partially offsetting the mental impact of the Dreamweaver Spider and subtly amplifying the counter-force of the [Dragon's Echo].

"These delirious words and the dragon's might appeared at the same time... are they truly from the same source? Perhaps these delirious words have other uses..."

Just then, the blue light suddenly went out.

The Dreamweaver Spider's mental attack came to an abrupt halt, and the eerie aura rapidly dissipated.

"Oh no, it's trying to escape!!"

He immediately realized what was happening, and with his legs transformed by magic, he leaped two zhang away with a light push, rushing to catch the Dreamweaver Spider.

"We went through so much trouble to find its location, we absolutely can't let it get away."

"Moreover, this thing is terrifying; with just a slight movement, it turned the entire Xiong'an County into a ghost town."

"If it's given more time to develop, it will be even more dangerous once it breaks through to a higher level."

Footsteps followed closely, but the Dreamweaver Spider's concealment technique was indeed superb. Even though its general location could be sensed, its true form could never be locked.

The [Shadow Strike] skill requires a clear target, but it's completely useless at this moment.

"That's the only option we can try."

Chasing to the point where the aura was strongest, Ji Lin's right arm suddenly swelled and turned crimson red. He unleashed the [Turbid Blood Boiling] technique and punched the ground!

Boom!!

A dull thud from a heavy impact.

Centered on the fist, spiderweb-like cracks instantly exploded, spreading wildly across the three-foot square ground.

Gravel and dust bounced up with a thud and then fell back down.

"It missed!!!"

He could still clearly sense that the Dreamweaver Spider was still fleeing, and its presence was getting further and further away from him.

So he continued to magicalize his legs and rushed off.

Just as he was about to unleash his magic with his right hand, a sudden mental attack struck, catching Ji Lin off guard.

A beam of blue light shot into his mind again. After the intense exertion just now, he could no longer hold on. After a wave of dizziness, he staggered and fell to the ground.

"So sleepy~ I want to sleep..." His eyes were almost closed.

"No, I absolutely cannot fall asleep. If I do, when I wake up tomorrow, I will have become the puppet of that Dreamweaver Spider."

clap clap clap! ! !

The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the night, the excruciating pain bringing a moment of clarity.

He shook his head, his eyes bloodshot as he braced himself.

"I can't possibly sleep, how could I possibly sleep at my age!"

Fortunately, the strange creature was also in bad shape after the attack. The Dreamweaver Spider seemed to be at its limit, and its escape speed had obviously slowed down.

"This is a great opportunity, let's seize it now!!"

In the dead of night, amidst wind and snow, the burly figure suddenly surged forward, moving rapidly. Just as he was about to approach the Dreamweaver Spider, Ji Lin's crimson giant fist struck repeatedly, sending streams of turbid blood power crashing into the void ahead.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Finally, a multicolored, translucent body trembled violently under the bombardment and was forced to reveal itself.

It was a giant spider demon, over ten feet wide, its body shimmering with strange light, as if cast from crystal.

"This, this looks so much like that egg in Blood Lotus Saint Mother... a spider that Zhang Liang killed."

"Could it be that the Blood Lotus Mother is pregnant with its child? The thought is terrifying..."

"However, this is a good opportunity!!!"

Ji Lin's movements did not falter at all.

[Shadow Strike] was activated instantly, and the figure pierced through space like a ghost, the right hand forming a claw, plunging straight into the core of the Dreamweaver Spider!

*Pfft!*

[Congratulations, host, for successfully killing a medium-level anomaly. Anomaly points +10]

[Successfully absorbed the abnormal substance, gained the Eye of Insight, Spirit +10]

【Spiritual Vision: Able to see through all illusions and perceive hidden targets】

A look of surprise flashed across Ji Lin's eyes. The benefits provided by this Dreamweaver Spider far exceeded those of ordinary anomalies, both in terms of anomaly points and attribute increases, all of which were many times greater than before.

The description of the "Eye of Spiritual Vision" is even more profound, seeing through all illusions and perhaps even penetrating the interior of the Ghost Realm.

A thought crossed his mind, and he brought up the control panel:

Open the properties panel:

【Season Arrival】

[Outliers: 16]

【Strength: 68/200】

Agility: 72/200

[Constitution: 50/200]

Looking at the numbers in front of him, he sighed, feeling that he hadn't lost out too much, and then had no choice but to add all the abnormal points to his physique.

[Constitution: 66/200]

The purple smoke had completely disappeared.

The long-standing problem of the Blood Lotus Sect has finally come to a temporary end.

As for those people in Xiong'an County who were being strangely manipulated, let them continue to act as if nothing happened.

They had no idea they nearly died in this catastrophe, nor could they explain it.

However, the dozen or so pursuers also fell silently along with the Dreamweaver Spider, never to return.

"Ah~ I'm so sleepy, I can finally go back and get a good night's sleep."

......

The next morning, Zhang Liang bid farewell to Ji Lin and hurriedly rode back to the prefectural capital to report on the situation of the Blood Lotus Sect.

"Governor, you have no idea how dangerous the situation was back then!!!" Zhang Liang choked up.

"If it weren't for my senior brother and the Demon-Suppressing Guards risking their lives to save me, and Young Master Ji's crucial rescue, I would have already gone with them..."

The garrison commander remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "You've worked hard. Although so many people were lost this time, you've rid Huai Ding Prefecture of a great scourge. You deserve credit for this and will be richly rewarded."

"Thank you, sir!!"

"By the way, what do you think of that young man, Ji?"

"My subordinates have already taken care of this matter and have expressed their willingness to cooperate with our state government. We should provide them with some resources and funds to win them over."

"Hmm, not bad!! I'll leave this to you to handle." The garrison commander nodded, his eyes showing approval.
