Chapter 138: Chapter 138 “Explode Equipment”_1 Chapter 138: Chapter 138 “Explode Equipment”_1 After being struck by a bolt of lightning, these people in uniform black raincoats seemed to finally notice something. They all lifted their heads to look towards the source of the lightning.

Dog Brother and his companions trying to break out could now see them clearly. Underneath the black raincoats were faces that were withered, with pitch-black sockets for eyes, looking altogether like walking mummies.

Dog Brother and the others held their breath, their pupils contracting sharply, and it was only upon a closer look that they noticed…

These strange mummy-like beings weren’t actually wearing any black raincoats. Instead, their bodies were covered with a layer of black, moss-like substance over their upper half, making them look as if they were wearing raincoats.

It was also at this moment that they suddenly heard a crackling sound from the necks of these humanoid mummies.

Immediately following, their heads detached from their necks like balloons, dragging a long spine behind, their mouths full of sharp teeth, flying towards them…

“Watch out!”

A four-armed shadow beside Dog Brother leapt out from the darkness, its sharp claws slashing, cleanly bisecting the head in mid-air.

Just as they dealt with one, another one charged at them at an extremely fast speed, but fortunately, a bolt of lightning that was even faster than it sliced through the rain curtain, striking it directly and turning it into ash.

“Lightning seems to have a restraining effect on it!”

Brother Xu was stunned. He hadn’t expected his strike to have such an excellent effect, obliterating it to dust in one blow.

After their heads were smashed, their bodies also seemed to be affected, collapsing on the ground like they had lost all strength, motionless.

It looked as if they were dead…

“Don’t just stand there, keep up.”

Dog Brother yelled, then took the lead and charged forward.

These monsters had a very strange method of attack, but their strategy was extremely simple: They just flew towards someone to bite them upon sight, which was easy to handle.

“So weak… If I knew they were this easy to deal with, I would have started killing them straight away.”

Dog Brother commanded the creatures he had summoned to kill the third monster, which looked like it too was wearing a black raincoat, blocking their way.

Originally, he had thought these beings would be terribly frightening, but upon confronting them, they seemed to fall with a single strike, just like perishable goods.

As his thoughts fluctuated, he glanced at Colin from the corner of his eye and saw that the latter still hadn’t woken up…

Even with the power of the dagger, he couldn’t see through the situation inside Colin’s body. All he could see was his body at this moment shrouded in a gray haze, like something being continuously nurtured within a writhing silkworm cocoon.

“Although I don’t understand the situation, if everything goes well, it shouldn’t take long for a result to emerge. I’m just afraid that the person who wakes up may not be the same person as before, but it’s pointless to think about that now…”

With these thoughts, Dog Brother withdrew his attention.

He quickly scanned his surroundings, seeking a suitable place to regroup before the next “Narrator” appeared to cause more trouble.

At that moment, he tensed up and suddenly saw another head flying out from the mist.

“I’ve got this!”

“Soul Lock Warden” spoke up. In his hands, he no longer held a fishing rod but a metal baseball bat. This was also a special item from Bonfire Company, although it was of a lower grade, just a plain white-rated item, not even a green gear.

However, seeing Dog Brother’s creature cleave a head with each strike, and Brother Xu electrocute a monster with each bolt, he figured the monsters should be simple to handle.

He figured he could handle it too…

Right when the head came flying at him, he took a brisk step forward, swung the baseball bat with force from his upper body, and with a loud bang, struck the flying head attached to a long spine.

The eerie head paused in mid-air, repelled backward a distance, its forehead dented.

Yet, after a brief pause in mid-air, as if dazed for a moment, it then ferociously dived towards the Warden’s neck again…

“Why didn’t it break!”

The Warden was shocked, this was not at all what he had expected: one swing of the baseball bat and the head exploding into pieces mid-air.

At the moment, his body was still maintaining the posture of swinging out with the baseball bat, the old strength had gone, and the new strength had yet to come.

At the critical moment, a fist wrapped with a talisman of great strength fiercely smashed into the flying head, sending it flying away.

“That was close…” the Warden sighed in relief, covered in a cold sweat.

Only now did he remember that Dog Brother’s artifact must be Purple Gear, and Brother Xu’s was also Green Gear, and it just happened to have restraint effects; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so effective…

“Ah, without appropriate close-combat artifacts, it’s really tough…”

Internally sighing, the Warden saw that he was somewhat falling behind the group and immediately quickened his steps to catch up.

In this damned place, being left alone was undoubtedly a dire fate.

Just as they had partially broken free from the encirclement, Dog Brother thought they could relax a little, but unexpectedly, after their first clash, heads kept flying out from the thick fog on all sides…

And the frequency and number of heads kept increasing.

It was clear that they had disturbed the horde of brains!

An occasional intervention from the “Narrator” would immediately result in a dozen heads appearing at once, making them hard to deal with.

“‘Narrator’, this damned thing! If it weren’t for its lure, I might have been able to detect the problem earlier and know that it’s safe as long as we don’t attack.”

Dog Brother couldn’t help but curse.

But it was too late for anything now, and under the dense attacks, they couldn’t help but make mistakes. The fisherman, caught off-guard, had his right hand bitten off in an instant, and he would probably never be able to fish again.

These monsters were indeed fragile, but their attacks were powerful.

A human body, even after three gene injection treatments, was like soft tofu in front of them.

Fortunately, they had already taken the gold ring off Colin’s ring finger and summoned ten “Money Slaves” to carry the fisherman along.

“There’s still one ring with an eyeball, not sure what artifact it is, can’t pull it off, and didn’t see the other artifacts, they should all be in the ‘Storage Room’.”

This thought occurred to them all simultaneously.

To take out those items, the only way was to ‘Explode Equipment’.

The situation had not yet come to that point…

However, if it really came to a desperate situation with no escape, they would have to sacrifice Brother Shunzi…

After all, having a few escape was still better than being annihilated here.

“Just hold on for ten more minutes, if, it’s really not working out, we, can’t do anything else…”

Dog Brother shook his head, feeling the situation of blood loss becoming evident, a constant buzzing in his ears, cold sweats running down his body, and an abnormal flush of heat on his face —

If they delayed any longer, he would indeed bleed to death…

And now, with their abilities and artifacts, the chance of entering the building and dealing with the monsters that were originally from “Passionate Paradise” seemed slim.

The only solution had to be finding a way to ‘Explode Equipment’…
