Chapter 247 - Wraith Devil’s Evolution (2/2)

As he had gone through rebirth, he understood entities like the Wraith Devil. They were not suited for life on the planet, especially during the day as the entity was extremely weak then. It was now heavily restricted by Qin Feng’s fire, and despite it being still alive from their battle, the Wraith Devil felt a heightened sense of danger.

Advanced wisdom tribes had special methods of evolution!

In order to prevent fire or light from damaging themselves, they would usually just find a body to hide in. Originally, the Wraith Devil chose Qin Feng as its host.

It was a pity that it failed, and ended up becoming Qin Feng’s greatest enemy.

This time, when it got dark, the zombies carefully moved about and started to form small groups.

Ten thousand people had fled from Pingyun, and within a day’s time, with Qin Feng’s help and defense, two thousand more managed to escape.

The darkness infection last night caused too many people to decay overnight, but now there were only eight thousand zombies left roaming the colony. Qin Feng had killed off a lot of them during the day and the rest were gradually disappearing.

During this time, a new king was born among the ruins.

The entity stood at the height of an average man, and while it might seem like a person from far away, its entire body was covered in black armor. The only thing that resembled a human was the appearance of its face.

The Wraith Devil had stolen Guang Xiaogang’s body and it happened to be the strongest body it had in hand.

At this time, zombies began to crawl toward it.

Pop!

The thing that used to be Guang Xiaogang raised a hand and brought its claws down onto the skull of a zombie, splashing yellowed brain matter onto the ground as it ripped out an energy core and swallowed it without a second thought.

One after the other. Its physical strength began to rise.

Darkness shrouded the area, nobody noticed any movement there. Even the Wraith Devil was not aware that there was a pair of eyes watching him this entire time.

Qin Feng was there, hidden in the dark.

He had been hiding his dark abilities since the beginning, which led to the Wraith Devil feeling that it was strange that he had not rotted away even after standing in the center of the beam of darkness.

Besides that, the Wraith Devil did not know that Qin Feng could see in the dark. The Dark Shadow that the entity casted was merely darker than all the shadows that Qin Feng was used to seeing.

This was way too obvious. He still had not taken any action. He was waiting.

Finally, the Wraith Devil had consumed all of the bodies. Densely packed around him were just headless corpses, it had reached E-tier.

Just barely.

“Curses!” The Wraith Devil felt that if it had eaten all the human souls before corrupting them he would have gotten a stronger body. It was a shame that that was impossible now.

Qin Feng left behind too little zombies for it to consume.

“Cunning human!”

After he had killed the zombies, he did not just take away the energy crystal core. He took them with him, and since even the bodies were burnt to a crisp there was nothing left for the entity.

This was the equivalent of crippling the Wraith Devil’s power. However, the entity had its own plans, in his mind, Qin Feng was the best vessel. All he needed to do was to kill the human.

“Rise!” The Wraith Devil suddenly called out. A blast of darkness spread out to the headless bodies, causing them all to stand up and merge together in a gory and twisted manner as they melded together into a gigantic mass.

Bones were snapping and muscles were contorted as the dead now formed into a huge humanoid shape. Perhaps there were limitations to the size, the thing was only about fifteen meters tall. From the looks of it, it had to be as tall as a five-to-six-storey tall building.

Where the head was supposed to be was the Wraith Devil, its legs sinking down into the neck area of the giant as countless beams of darkness began to emit from its body.

The monstrous figure gave off an even more terrifying aura.

Even a fleeting glance sent chills down the spine.
