Stronger with More Jobs-Chapter 466 - 238: The Cruelest Truth

Humans?!!

A surge of intense instinct coursed through Fang Qingyu’s entire body like an electric current!

His gaze was locked onto the wolf-headed Life Ghost kneeling on the ground, trembling.

Beneath its beastly grotesque appearance, within its twisted wailing.

Fang Qingyu clearly captured something...

Something only a fellow being could perceive, belonging to "human" fear, despair, and Will to survive!

It was unlike any Life Ghost he had encountered before.

Even the Punishment Bone Buddha and Vajra Buddha, who possessed intelligence and could speak, were filled with an eerie aura of twisted buddhahood intertwined with demonic nature, their core remained a cold, inhuman "Life Ghost".

But this corpse wolf...

Its fear was so "vivid", so "humble".

Like... like those ordinary people who let out instinctive cries when on the brink of death under a Life Ghost’s claws.

Fang Qingyu could even "hear" its trembling on the verge of collapse!

However.

The black title above its head...

[Corpse Wolf].

Just like the coldest brand, it silently mocked this absurd perception.

A Life Ghost is a Life Ghost!

In his Melted Gold-like eyes, the ripple of surprise instantly froze, turning back into a deep, cold vigilance.

Buzz!

Thunder Shock Escape Shadow activated!

Purple-Blue Electric Light entwined with a pale golden Dragon Shadow, flashing and disappearing.

Fang Qingyu’s figure appeared beside the blood maw of the Corpse Wolf as if by teleportation.

His right hand spread open, fiercely grasping the Destruction Thunder suspended in mid-air, wildly leaping!

Sizzle sizzle sizzle——!!!

Violent Thunder Power fiercely surged in Fang Qingyu’s palm, emitting a piercing roar.

Purple-Blue and dark red electric flames curled around his arm like living creatures, illuminating the knotted muscles and still-unhealed scorch marks on his bronze arm.

Also illuminating his face, appearing particularly hardened and expressionless in the thunder light.

The cold gaze, looking down from above, like a judgment sword, piercing the Corpse Wolf’s completely twisted wolf face due to fear. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Can you speak?"

Fang Qingyu’s voice was not loud, yet carried a freezing coldness, each word dropped like an ice cone.

The Corpse Wolf Blood Maw kneeling on the ground, as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, its entire body trembled violently.

The eerie green vertical pupils erupted with a strong will to survive.

The ferocious wolf head nodded frantically like pounding garlic, the movements so large that it almost broke its scaly neck.

"I can! I can! I can speak!"

Its voice was sharp, hoarse, like two rusted iron pieces rubbed forcefully, carrying an awkward imitation of human language, yet incredibly clear and urgent, "Don’t kill me! Please! Don’t kill me!"

Fang Qingyu’s hand gripping the Thunder didn’t move an inch, the violent electric light tamely jumping in his palm.

"What’s your name? Where do you want to go? What do you want to do?"

These three questions, like cold chains, instantly shackled the Corpse Wolf Blood Maw.

It dared not hesitate, its wolf mouth opened and closed, awkward but rapidly answering:

"Blood Maw! My name is Blood Maw!" It raised its hand to point at its scale-covered wolf head and urgently pointed toward the northern dark forest, "Heading north! I need to go north! To meet up with my... my army!"

"Army?!"

These two words hit Fang Qingyu’s mind like two heavy bombs.

The Melted Gold-like pupils suddenly contracted into dangerous lines.

A chilling coldness raced from his tailbone up to his Celestial Spirit cover.

Life Ghosts... in this world... had actually formed an "army"?!

And he, as the special squad leader of the Hidden Dragon Plan, the top fighting force of the Federation’s younger generation, knew nothing about it?!!

This information, like the sharpest ice cone, instantly pierced through all Fang Qingyu’s previous understanding of the situation!

Immense shock surged like a tsunami within his mind!

But Fang Qingyu’s strong willpower forcibly suppressed his turbulent thoughts, his voice becoming even colder and more solemn, with an undeniable oppressive force:

"Your army... where?!"

He stared firmly into Blood Maw’s eerie green vertical pupils, not missing any change in emotion.

However.

Upon hearing this question, on Blood Maw’s ferocious wolf face.

There unexpectedly appeared an extremely human-like expression, mixed with astonishment, confusion, even... a trace of absurdity.

As if Fang Qingyu had asked the most foolish, most inconceivable question.

Its wolf eyes widened, the eerie green pupils full of disbelief, blurting out instinctively, its voice raised several pitches:

"In... in the Arctic!!" It even used its gray-white bark-covered hand to instinctively point toward the extreme northern night sky, "Humans... humans have blocked us there for hundreds of years! You... you didn’t know?!"

Boom!!!

These words exploded like a thunderclap in the depths of his mind.

"Arctic... defense line... century..."

These words combined, and the information they carried, vast and cruel, instantly went beyond the realm of Fang Qingyu’s understanding!

An indescribable icy suffocating sensation instantly seized his heart!

He could even feel his right hand holding the Thunder, the fingertips involuntarily trembling slightly!

Buzz——!!!

Almost instinctively!

The Realm Patrol power within Fang Qingyu erupted suddenly!

Deep, cold, like black dark domain capable of swallowing all light suddenly expanded madly with him as the center!

Like an overturned ink-black giant bowl, it instantly enveloped Fang Qingyu, Jiang Wei, and the kneeling Corpse Wolf Blood Maw entirely!

All external sound, light, and aura were instantly isolated!
