Chapter 161: Chapter 161 Heading to “Snow Mountain”_1 Chapter 161: Chapter 161 Heading to “Snow Mountain”_1 “This thing seems to have a suppressive effect on all those eerie entities?”

Colin saw that, under the illumination of the light, the majority of the flying heads instantly became sickly…

The massively radiant orb of light hovered about a hundred meters above the ground, with its scope of illumination reaching an astonishing one thousand meters. It also moved along with Colin and his companions, instead of remaining fixed in one place.

The whole of Rain City, which had been shrouded in perpetual darkness due to the relentless rain, now seemed to be in broad daylight under its illumination.

Minutes later, upon seeing the new “map,” Colin and the others let out a sigh of relief—they had finally escaped!

“Truly a top-tier healer. I thought that, as an F Level Employee within the company, I was already without rival at this level. I never anticipated someone to be even more formidable than me, nor do I know who that person might be…”

Colin was equally shocked inwardly.

If they had brought along this super “healer” from the start, things would have probably been much easier.

Unfortunately, after releasing the light orb above and observing their escape, the individual vanished immediately, seemingly having completed the task.

“If I’m not mistaken, his mission was to extricate us from peril, and then I’m out more than a thousand Ocean.”

Suddenly, Colin had the feeling like he hired a locksmith who showed up to unlock a door, and with nothing but two wires, cracked it open in under two seconds…

Impressive as it may be, escaping had been too easy, and he felt like the money spent was somewhat unwarranted.

There should have been a bit more of a ceremonial feel to it…

Taking a deep breath, Colin reigned in his thoughts and quietly noted the name “The Light Chaser,” planning to look into who it was once they got out.

There might be a chance for cooperation someday in the future.

And just as they ran out of the “Ghost-Hitting-the-Wall” perimeter, they immediately felt the persistent sensation of being watched lift off their bodies.

This made the figurative stone hanging in their hearts finally drop…

However, at that moment, Colin, sensing something, glanced back and his eyes narrowed.

Behind them, at quite a distance, a bizarre creature unlike anything they had seen before was faintly visible…

It appeared gigantic, as tall as a five-story building, completely dark like sludge, with no distinct shape. At that moment, its massive body slowly moved until it stopped at the edge of the area that had previously trapped Colin and his companions.

And when it came into the range of the light, Colin and the others couldn’t help but inhale sharply—the strange entity’s skin was tumultuously churning, with its body made of clumpy mud continually forming irregular arms, claws, and tentacle-like limbs. These limbs stretched outward as if they wanted to grab the surrounding buildings but often disintegrated halfway through their extension.

Besides, thousands of eerie green spots that looked like bubbles or eyes were constantly being born and dissolving on its flowing surface…

At that moment, after Colin had escaped, a sense of unwillingness emerged from it…

The colossal body surged like a mudslide out of the area that had confined Colin and the others, attempting to pursue them.

It wasn’t very fast, but its movement and the oppressive atmosphere it brought were no small matters.

However, no sooner had it emerged halfway than it suddenly emitted a sharp, tragic scream, and then its huge body exploded on the spot like cow dung stuffed with a firecracker.

With a loud bang, large chunks of black flesh scattered everywhere, then wriggled back like worms to the largest piece.

Afterward, it no longer tried to chase after them.

“Was it subjected to some kind of restriction?”

Colin probably guessed something, and the icy breath coming from the ring confirmed his suspicion.

The “Rule Book,” one of the fundamental forces that originally constructed “Script City,” strictly limited its range of activity and status.

So unless the “Rule Book” became ineffective, there was no way it could escape under any circumstance.

Furthermore, after encountering the monster, the “Yukionna” shivering inside the ring told him some information.

That creature seemed to still retain some of “Great Mother’s” aura, presumably because it caught part of the “Script Book” responsible for “Passionate Paradise”…

“Playing pretty fancy, that thing with its tentacles and whatnot…”

Colin pursed his lips, understanding who specifically contaminated the “Script Book” in “Rain City.”

However, he didn’t dwell on it for long. Taking advantage of the “Blessing of Light” still in effect, they followed the guidance and fled towards “Snow Mountain” for another twenty to thirty minutes, only in the last ten minutes did they rush into a house to eliminate the anomalies and start recuperating.

Otherwise, with each of them covered in wounds, they wouldn’t last long on the road before collapsing dead…

After applying the “Gluttony Power Mark” to everyone, Colin found a sofa in the living room, took out some chocolate and jerky from his pocket, and began to replenish his energy.

At the same time, he finally had the chance to see what exactly those 3774 characters in the “Subsidiary Document” said.

Thirty minutes later, having read the “Subsidiary Document” several times, Colin figured out what it said…

“Upon reaching ‘Snow Mountain’, at the correct time, summon part of ‘Formless Mother’ 1-24. This part should ideally be only 0.1% of the whole, with a maximum of 0.3%. Otherwise, the probability of failure increases, plain and simple we would be defeated…”

“It is exceptionally sensitive to air quality; the higher the humidity, the better its status and immunity to most attacks. The drier it gets, the worse it is to deal with it. Even physical attacks can injure it to a considerable degree…”

“When it enters a weakened state, use the ‘Decree Book·Fragment’ for suppression and inject it with ‘Special Gene Compensation’…”

“Be aware that it has mastered a portion of the ‘Script Book’ from ‘Passionate Paradise’…”

“Secondly, avoid direct contact with it, or you will be assimilated…”

“‘Dark Cloud’ is a part of it that was once torn away, now forming its ‘Clan,’ but most of its energy is focused on protecting the ‘Formless Mother’ from being locked by the ‘Red Moon,’ and on hunting the invading ‘Red Moon’ cultists. Hence, it lacks the energy to deal with us…”

“Also, because we are weak enough, it knows we could never pose a fatal threat to the ‘Formless Mother,’ so it won’t devote too much energy to us but instead will confront the Red Moon with all its might.”

“Why does this ghostly thing make it sound so easy to handle?”

…

Colin kept extracting key information from the “Subsidiary Document,” forming a rough idea in his mind about how to deal with it later.

Anyway, according to the content of the “Subsidiary Document,” it seems that everything will be straightforward as long as they follow the instructions.

Of course, how things would actually turn out would mostly be known only upon arrival there.

After six hours of rest, everyone was barely back in shape, and Colin and the others set out again.
