"Damn you... you've gone too far!"
The man stared at Zhang Chen's retreating back, his teeth itching with hatred, but he didn't dare to act rashly.
"You'll pay for this later, stealing my mount, ruining my plan, you damned fellow!"
The man clenched his fists and slowly followed.
"The monument is ahead, which direction is it?"
Zhang Chen suddenly turned and asked.
"It's directly in front of the monument. I've released a large dose of spirit attractant!"
Seeing Zhang Chen turn, the man quickly said with a fawning smile.
At this moment, several girls had already arrived in front of the monument, sightseeing and admiring the surrounding scenery.
The monument, made of huge stones, was covered with traces of time and battles. It was originally a stone tablet to commemorate humanity's victory against the spirits.
However, the spirits had not disappeared as humanity had imagined. The battlefield had changed hands several times, and this stone tablet was still not entirely in human hands, remaining in the war zone.
"Go and disable it. I'll keep watch here!"
Zhang Chen said.
"Understood!"
The man hurried towards the place where the monument was trapped.
He squatted there and fumbled for a long time.
"Does it really take that long to disable a trap?"
Zhang Chen walked over, surprised.
"Of course it takes time. Setting a trap is simple; it's designed to be easily triggered."
"But to avoid triggering the mechanisms and disable the trap completely is much more troublesome, as no one sets traps with the intention of dismantling them!"
As he spoke, the man carefully retrieved a cracked glass container from under a large piece of rubble.
It was filled with spirit attractant.
A tiny amount of spirit attractant could draw all spirits within a three-kilometer radius.
With such a large quantity, it could likely attract all the spirits in the entire outer battlefield.
Given that number, no matter how strong these girls were, they would be torn to shreds.
"Are you crazy? If this amount of spirit attractant is triggered, what can you even do?!"
Zhang Chen frowned.
"Yes, that's why my initial target wasn't to harm certain girls as you might have thought. I have no interest in women... ah, no, I have no interest in humans!"
As he spoke, the man suddenly smashed the spirit attractant in his hand.
A layer of human skin peeled off his body, revealing a smooth, faceless humanoid spirit.
"You're a spirit?"
Zhang Chen was slightly taken aback.
While this guy was impersonating a human, his internal spiritual veins were exactly the same as a human's. How could a spirit infiltrate the Corpse Collector's Guild with so many powerful individuals present? This had caused Zhang Chen to let down his guard from the beginning, leading to a misjudgment.
"That's right, but that's not what you should be concerned about now!"
"Worry about yourself more! Hahaha!"
The faceless spirit chuckled and leaped backward gently.
Immediately, the entire ground began to tremble.
Rumble!
Huge cracks spread rapidly across the ground, and a powerful spiritual energy was released from below.
At the same time, Zhang Chen sensed that not just here, but the entire ancient battlefield, both inside and out, was filled with abnormal spiritual energy fluctuations.
This spirit attractant was just a catalyst; there must be similar traps elsewhere. These excessive, forbidden substances had awakened the ancient spirits that were either dormant or sealed underground!
"Even if I'm in trouble, I won't let you have it easy!"
Zhang Chen raised his left hand and unleashed a burst of spiritual energy.
This burst of spiritual energy did not turn into a normal spiritual attack. Instead, it transformed into a grid-like cage during flight, trapping the faceless spirit within it.
"Spiritual energy manifestation? You... who exactly are you? How do you possess such a powerful skill?!"
Although the faceless spirit had no facial features, fear could be heard in its voice.
"A Corpse Collector, don't you know?!"
Zhang Chen dodged to the side.
He narrowly avoided a murky spiritual energy attack surging from the ground. The murky spiritual energy shattered the ground and shot straight into the sky.
Not only that, but from afar, hundreds of similar spiritual energy surges could be seen erupting into the sky.
"Roar!"
A massive four-legged creature emerged from beneath the ground.
Simultaneously, Zhang Chen's Corpse Collector's teleportation talismans began to flash one after another!
