When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 691 - 509 Trapping Turtles in a Jar
Everywhere around, square stone slabs were originally floating in the air, being manipulated into various shapes, but now they were almost entirely disassembled by the red tentacles of Brain Hole, leaving everything in disarray.
When these stone slabs were all covered with golden patterns, it also put everyone at Brain Hole on high alert.
Buzz! Buzz!
The stone slab under the feet of Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage lit up with golden patterns too, and before they could react, the golden patterns had already wrapped around their feet, starting to spread upward.
The three Ghost Mustaches were caught off guard and were promptly immobilized by the golden lines!
The change came too suddenly, leaving them extremely startled, but Brain Hole's reaction was much quicker; he instantly dodged the golden patterns in the air, and while looking around in shock and anger, his red tentacles immediately moved to entangle the other Ghost Mustaches.
The golden patterns also climbed onto the red tentacles, which emitted a powerful presence to counteract the patterns. However, at first the red tentacles managed to cope for a few seconds, but after about ten seconds, the golden patterns began to spread over them too, and it was vaguely clear that they were struggling to resist.
Brain Hole's expression changed slightly, the red tentacles were just an appendage, and although powerful, their strength was limited. Just now, a substantial amount of their strength was consumed dealing with those stone slabs, and he couldn't fathom where such a powerful force had emerged from, as the red tentacles were clearly becoming exhausted.
"It was that person!"
Brain Hole instantly thought of the person who had just infiltrated their group, feeling quite annoyed. He also recognized that the golden patterns came from a familiar source, as Xiang Beifei had just used a brick against him, and now seeing all the stone slabs here displaying golden patterns, it was clear the current turmoil was definitely related to Xiang Beifei.
But Brain Hole found it difficult to rescue his comrades, as a strong suppressive force still pressed down on him, making him very uncomfortable. The influence of Puppet Child was still affecting them.
He cursed inwardly and glanced at his subordinates, who had already been immobilized, and without a second word, he turned and leaped away, trying to escape.
Fighting here was too disadvantageous for him; he had to get out of the range of Puppet Child's influence.
But Beifei would not give him the chance!
The stone slabs in the air rotated rapidly, quickly forming a wall that blocked Brain Hole's escape route. The wall was covered in golden patterns; Brain Hole dodged to the right, but another wall appeared there too. He continued to run to the left, but a wall with gleaming golden patterns was already waiting for him there…
Brain Hole gasped for air as a wall adorned with golden patterns appeared on all six sides—front, back, above, below, left, right—and suddenly began to close in on him. He immediately used the red tentacle to resist the one in front, but he could do nothing about the walls closing in from the other five directions.
Thump... Thump... Thump...
With several muffled sounds, Brain Hole was directly surrounded by a cubic structure of stone slabs, trapped like a turtle in a jar.
This enraged Brain Hole, as he tried to pry open the cracks between the stone slabs with his red tentacles, but the tentacle's strength was being constantly worn down by the golden patterns on the stone, growing weaker and weaker, quickly becoming covered with golden patterns.
"Damn it!"
Brain Hole began to panic, having come here initially to handle the out-of-control Puppet Child with just the red tentacles. But it hadn't occurred to him that the Human Race would interfere with this matter!
He truly couldn't understand why such a formidable person from the Human Race would appear here, since the Human Race had always been confined to a corner in Jiuzhou, their territory limited by desolate beasts and unable to expand.
But no matter how much he thought, it was to no avail. The surrounding stone slabs were like a coffin, trapping him tightly; he was now like a turtle in a jar, powerless to do anything about it.
——
Xiang Beifei instantly appeared above the stone slabs, peering down at Brain Hole through the gaps.
Brain Hole lifted his head to look at Xiang Beifei upon hearing the noise. Despite still not being able to see Xiang Beifei's face clearly, he couldn't think of anyone else but the person from before.
"You lowly Human Race, actually interfering with our actions! You have no idea what the consequences are for offending our holy race!" Brain Hole said with indignation.
"Idiot."
Xiang Beifei simply replied.
"You—"
Brain Hole choked on his words, growing even more furious. In his eyes, the Human Race, like other lowly species, was easily conquered except for their naturally superior physique; otherwise, they wouldn't have been chosen as their hosts.
"I take it you won't fess up easily while I interrogate you, so I need to think about what to do," Xiang Beifei said as he stroked his chin.
"Ignorant human, you think you can extract secrets from me? Keep dreaming! The only purpose your race serves is to provide us with vessels to inhabit! If you dare lay a hand on us, our people will surely annihilate yours!"
Brain Hole looked down on the Human Race from the bottom of his heart. They had already learned about the capabilities of the Human Race and had almost fully grasped their social structure. Most humans simply lacked the ability to navigate the outer desolate wilderness. This man before him might be an anomaly, but he was unlikely to cause any waves.
"Fine then."
With a flick of his finger, Xiang Beifei wrapped a clump of soil from Chou Hou with breath soil, mixing them together. The breath soil transformed into a sword, and he thrust it toward Brain Hole!
Hearing the sound, Brain Hole tried to dodge, but the stone tiles enclosed him, leaving him no room to fight back. All he could do was emit red tentacles from the opening in his head, attempting to block Xiang Beifei.
Thwack!
The breath soil sword, mingled with the soil from Chou Hou, directly pierced through Brain Hole's red tentacles and into his shoulder as well!
"Ah!"
Brain Hole let out a shrill and agonized scream. He looked at the sword in alarm and anger, as the blade possessed a terrifying devouring and corrosive capability. It had not only pierced through the red tentacles but also entered his body, causing him to feel a pain in his soul!
"You... you... how could you..."
Brain Hole stared at Xiang Beifei in shock and fear. Such an object that could wound their kind was known in their terms as a holy relic of Fubei, and he had not expected that Xiang Beifei would use it as a weapon against them!
The soil from Chou Hou, much like the waters of Mao Hou, had the ability to devour Spiritual Power. This effect only occurred in the Hou places, and it was capable of restraining the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, even causing lethal damage to these substances!
Xiang Beifei mixed this soil with breath soil, and employing the strong malleability of the breath soil, he fashioned it into a formidable weapon!
"I don't know what the consequences are for offending your kind, but I do know what the consequences are for offending me," Xiang Beifei said calmly as he pulled out the breath soil sword and thrust it down once more!
Thwack!
"Ah..."
The heart-wrenching screams of Brain Hole continued without end.
