Chapter 233 - A Supernatural Entity Sho (2/2)
When Shen Yulong ran into the subsurface plasma, Lu Siya suddenly shuddered and shouted, “Shen Yulong, come back!”
But it was already too late.
Shen Yulong’s scream tore through the subsurface plasma, and a white monster’s savage and strange figure came out from it.
It bit Shen Yulong’s neck, and with a crack, his spine snapped. Shen Yulong’s cervical vertebrae broke, and blood gushed out of his artery.
Shen Yulong’s eyes bulged out, and he died on the spot.
The white monster tossed Shen Yulong’s corpse back between Lin Chuan and Lu Siya. Then, it calmly revealed itself.
It was a wolf-shaped monster that could not be considered large.
Its eyes shone with a profound light, which meant that it possessed intellect that did not lose to that of a human, but it also had the cunning of a fox.
Its fur was as white as snow, and it had a crystalline quality to it. Not a speck of dust could be found on it.
Swinging behind it were three fluffy tails. They looked beautiful, but dangerous.
Qin Hu’s eyes went wide, and he mumbled in disbelief, “White Spirit?”
Meng Chao shuddered. “What?”
“This is a different type of Illusion Wolf. In the hunter’s circle, we call it White Spirit. Normal Illusion Wolves are just Grade One Nightmarish Beasts, and they can be considered to be distant cousins of the Demonic Blood Moon Wolves. They don’t have powerful talents, but they have a faint mind attack that can interfere with a human’s brain waves. They can then create all sorts of illusions. They’re like the fox spirits in legends, but it’s not difficult to see through their illusions.
“But this Illusion Wolf is different. It’s very rare and is an abnormality that can evolve on its own will. Look at the three tails it has, that shows just how powerful it is.
“Monsters who are skilled in mind attacks usually have highly developed brains, and the heat dissipation issue they face when their brains work at high speed is always a major problem for them.
“Aside from the normal brain that Illusion Wolves have above their cervical vertebrae, they have a bundle of special nerves that are swelled up at the end of their caudal vertebrae. It’s like a second brain for them.
“It’s an organ to release mind attacks which can interfere with human brainwaves and create all sorts of illusions, and their fluffy tails can increase the surface area for heat dissipation, which is deliberately there to help their second brain dissipate heat.
“Normal Illusion Wolves only need one tail for heat dissipation.
“But this super Illusion Wolf has three tails to dissipate the heat because of its second brain. From this alone, you can tell just how strong its mind attacks are.
“By the way, this three-tailed Illusion Wolf goes way back with your Big Brother Lin. Lin Chuan has been staying in Shattered Starlake and Graveyard Forest for years because he has been hunting it. Don’t you know about it?”
“Of course I know,” Meng Chao said in a daze. “During Big Brother Lin’s first mission, he ran into this incredibly cunning Illusion Wolf and nearly suffered a party wipe. He was the only one who escaped.
“Big Brother Lin has a huge grudge against that Illusion Wolf, and to take revenge for his comrades, he formed a few hunts to take it down, but every time, his teams suffered heavy casualties and have come back dejected.
“Big Brother Lin’s hate has continued growing, and as he trained and hunted madly, he improved by leaps and bounds, but the three-tailed Illusion Wolf seems to be a genius among monsters as well. Its strength had flown over the roof, and it became his mortal enemy.
“Big Brother Lin has said multiple times in his broadcasts that half of the tears he shed as the Weeping Reaper are for the Three-tailed Illusion Wolf. If he doesn’t kill it, he won’t come back to enjoy his life in Dragon City. He will definitely fight against this monster until one of them dies.
“But why have I never heard that this three-tailed Illusion Wolf has the nickname of White Spirit?”
“This is a nickname that has only recently spread around,” Qin Hu explained. “In the northern offense, this three-tailed Illusion Wolf moves through Graveyard Forest like an elusive spirit and by now has killed more than ten hunters. Recently, it killed two four-star superhumans back to back, and it became a lot of hunters’ nightmare.
“You know that we aren’t that afraid of high-grade monsters who are born strong. They just have brute strength. Their attacks are monotonous, and they’re huge creatures who can’t understand human strategies. They don’t pose any real threat to our teamwork and steel army.
“But these sort of mutated types who can evolve very quickly, have great learning abilities, and are incredibly cunning and fierce get more and more troublesome the longer they live.
“This creature has risen from a Grade One Nightmarish Beast to a Grade Four Hell Beast in just a few short years since the first time it appeared and attacked Lin Chuan’s squad. No one knows just what sort of terrifying existence it will become if we don’t kill it soon.
“So, the hunters named it White Spirit. The Supernatural Tower also put a high bounty on its head because they want to get rid of it and be free of trouble. It’s a surprise that it not only did not run far away, it actually went under Raging Waves!”
Meng Chao’s eyes widened further.
White Spirit! White Spirit! White Spirit!
This name was like a burning steel needle that crawled out of the depths of the memories from his previous life.
White Spirit, one of the Nine Great Supernatural Entities!
Nine Great Supernatural Entities were so intelligent that they were nearly at the level of supernatural beings. These nine creatures not only had Apocalyptic Level destructive power at the end of the Monster War but also great intelligence, which allowed them to have a good understanding of human civilization. They even tried to gather all monsters to upgrade monster tribes into monster civilizations. They were the ultimate superbeasts!
Among them was the Nine-tailed Illusion Wolf, White Spirit. Its most terrifying talent was not the illusions that normal Illusion Wolves created.
It was mind control. It could control human hearts!
