Chapter 290: Chapter 290: First Kill of a Large-scaled Grudge

"What kind of creature is this?"

"It’s the entwined grudges of eight children, very difficult to deal with. Even the Paperman would walk around it."

As soon as Yinglong’s words ended, a piercing scream came from the bottom of the Deep Pit. The Monster, bearing eight distinct faces, climbed up the edge of the Deep Pit.

It was longer than four meters, shrouded in thick Dark Energy. Everywhere it crawled, it left behind a glaring trail of blood.

If Han Fei were still on his own, he would have thought about how to escape the moment he saw the Monster.

But times had changed. When the eight-headed creature climbed out of the Deep Pit, neighbors had already moved in front of Han Fei.

The eight-headed was just one of the tenants of the Death Building. Now, having rallied the forces of the Happiness Residential Community and Yimin Private Academy, two F-level buildings, Han Fei had the full ability to confront it head-on.

Being able to log off at any time, and with many neighbors’ help, Han Fei’s confidence swelled more than ever, even his gaze at the eight-headed carried a hint of disdain.

Bai Sinian, who didn’t know much about Han Fei, grew increasingly curious upon seeing this. Why did the seemingly weakest person appear to be the most confident?

Crimson eyes opened in the dark night, pairs of bloodthirsty pupils fixed on the terrifying eight-headed.

Shadows merged, interlacing with the cries of despair slowly overpowering the children’s screams. A thin Cry pointed at one of the eight-headed’s heads: "Do you want to play with me?"

A thick snake’s tail smashed viciously towards Cry, who neither dodged nor flinched. Raising his hands, he seemed to grasp the despair inside the eight-headed, slowly shaping that despair into the form of a blade.

"Move out of the way!" Although Bai Sinian was a coward, he was still a good person. Seeing the frail child about to be hit by the tail, he gritted his teeth trying to knock Cry aside.

But before he could get there, a pitch-black shadow crashed down onto the ground.

Walls and floors cracked as Li Huo, emitting an ominous aura with a fierce expression, wrapped his arms—thicker than a normal person’s thigh—tightly around the snake tail.

His face ferocious, he opened his mouth wide and bit down on the eight-headed’s tail.

"Flesh!"

The colorful poison and Curse on the eight-headed’s body injected into Li Huo’s body, similarly, the intense misfortune from Li Huo also stained the eight-headed.

Watching Li Huo physically struggle with the eight-headed, Bai Sinian was utterly dumbfounded. Who were these formidable people he’d come across?

The faces of the eight children began to distort. A weird glyph appeared on each child’s face, and one girl with the character for ’Spell’ on her cheek stared intently at Li Huo. Shortly after, faces of the girl began to surface on Li Huo’s muscular body.

The faces giggled and frolicked, constantly burrowing into Li Huo’s body.

At the same time, the forehead of the boy with the character for ’Soul’ also looked towards Li Huo. The moment his gaze fell on Li Huo, fine cracks began to appear on Li Huo’s Soul Body.

"The eight-headed’s eight faces have eight different abilities. Used alone, the effects are not strong, but when stacked on one person, they become incredibly terrifying," Yinglong’s One-eyed reflected the figure of the eight-headed, as if he could see things many others could not.

Unnoticed by everyone, fine hairs passed through blood vessels and corpses, like black streams, eventually converging behind the eight-headed.

The woman from Building No. 2, who had died from domestic violence, appeared quietly. Black and purple bruises remained on her exposed body; this was the first time she had taken action outside her own room.

What seemed like easily breakable black hair gradually converged, and by the time the creature noticed, its body was already shrouded by dense, tangled black hair.

These strands of black hair could not confine it, but each time it broke one, a small wound appeared on its body.

As the black hair tightened, the creature faced a dilemma. Breaking the hair would injure itself, but not breaking it would greatly restrict its movements.

The giant tail, carrying a dark energy, swept fiercely at the woman. Upon touching her, her body transformed into black hair, dissolving like splashes of water, only to reassemble moments later in another place.

No one knew where she had hidden her real body, nor did anyone know the true extent of her abilities. What Han Fei and the others saw was only what she chose to reveal.

Han Fei had a profound impression of this woman from Building Two; her name was Qu Yun, and she and the Dark Dog were the most hopeful contenders for the position of Building Chief.

The Dark Dog did not appear in Happiness Residential Community, and Xu Qin was injured. At this moment, the most terrifying ghost around Han Fei was this woman.

The wounds on its body multiplied, and all eight child-like faces twisted in agony. The head with the character for "brain" written on it burst open, scattering a mist of blood that enveloped the other heads.

The creature’s movements became more agile, and the expressions of the child-like faces more lively. The blood mist that exploded inside its brain had a beneficial effect on the creature, but it sucked away the last remnants of humanity from any other grudges that came close.

Ordinary ghosts and monsters found it difficult to approach, but unfortunately, its luck was extremely poor— it encountered a Curse Aggregation like Xu Qin.

When the blood mist touched the curse on Xu Qin’s body, it visibly altered, transmitting Xu Qin’s suppressed desire for Gluttony into the creature’s body.

The faces on its shoulders gradually descended into madness, no longer thinking, but attacking purely on instinct.

Several Grudges struck at the same time, leaving Bai Sinian astonished. He had never seen such a sight before, and had never imagined that ghosts and monsters could cooperate in such a way.

A cold wind swept through the entire fourth basement level, and battles to the death among high-level ghost and monster Grudges were extremely rare.

Merely watching left Bai Sinian trembling in fear; he lacked the courage to step forward.

Stealing a glance at Han Fei, who was retreating, he initially thought Han Fei felt the same as he did, but he quickly realized he was wrong, and terribly so.

At the edge of the Deep Pit, Han Fei opened his Item Bar and took out a bloody chain he had acquired at the pet store. He tied one end of the chain to the edge of the pit and threw the other end into the Deep Pit.

"You’re not thinking of going down there, are you?"

"If we had to fight it in its well-established Corpse Mountain and Flower Sea, we would have to pay a heavy price to win. But it underestimated its opponent and ran out directly," Han Fei’s voice was very low, as if he was discussing something mundane, "It will soon realize its mistake, so we need to cut off its escape route in advance and not give it a chance to return, or rather, when it thinks of fleeing back, we’ll take its life instantly."

With the most casual words, he spoke the most ruthless sentences. To Han Fei, a Large-scaled Grudge was just a whetstone. Of course, this was the case only because the neighbors were around.

Although it was considered a Large-scaled Grudge, the strengths of Large-scaled Grudges varied greatly.

For example, the Spider who controlled Beast Alley and the Doctor Personality who modified his own body— it was merely on the same level as the Doctor Personality.

"Are you sure? Isn’t this going to be..." Bai Sinian didn’t even get the words "too dangerous" out before Han Fei nodded.

"Are you trying to say it’s too wasteful? Actually, I also wanted to catch it alive, to see if I could turn it into a pet. Back when I played games, I liked to catch large pets; it was very impressive," Han Fei gripped the Rebirth Saber, stuffed the Black Giant Python into the Ghost Pattern, then grabbed the chain, "But now the situation is too dangerous, we absolutely cannot be careless. If we can kill it, we should kill it right away, to avoid unneeded complications."

Bai Sinian didn’t know what to say at this point, feeling perhaps it was because he had been disconnected from the outside world for too long, and he was somewhat unable to keep up with Han Fei’s train of thought.
