Beast Taming, my intelligence updates daily.

As they were talking, Ye Bai was taken by the Shadow Ghost to a survivor camp.

This camp is said to have been established by survivors who escaped from a strange control.

Ye Bai also wanted to observe how these survivors survived in the wild and how they were able to establish survivor camps.

However, as they approached, they discovered that the survivor camp was engulfed in flames, accompanied by intense screams.

"Something strange is coming! We must quickly activate its power!"

Ye Bai was very curious after hearing this.

"Let's go up and see how those people are resisting the strange phenomenon."

Ye Bai needed to find an opportunity to join these survivors, ideally when they were in danger and about to perish.

"Clang clang clang".

A man was ringing a bell, signaling for the strange creature to enter the city.

Many people immediately dodged.

Some people released the strange objects in their hands to fight against the supernatural.

A charred corpse with a狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) grinned.

"I'm really lucky today, I actually found a wild survivor camp."

"Let your flesh and blood become the supplement for my advancement."

"The smell of blood and fire is so captivating to me."

“You certainly have courage to stand against me while I burn Frank.”

Frank raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and suddenly many burning skeletons emitting black smoke appeared around him.

"Come forth, my fire undead warriors! Embrace these humans with your passion and make them one of you!"

[Evaluation: The more puppets Frank creates after defeating his opponent, the stronger Frank becomes!]

A look of excitement and agitation appeared on Frank's face as he burned.

The more fire undead warriors he has, the stronger he becomes.

He was already a half-step Red-Clothed Demon; once he found that heart, he would be able to advance to the next level.

That heart can only be exchanged at a wild survivor camp; that's the rule of the Ghost King, and everyone must abide by it.

"You should just surrender. You are far too weak. Even if you unleash your strange powers, you are no match for me. On the contrary, you will be corrupted by the strangeness and become new strange beings."

"I only want your flesh and blood, I don't want those filthy and bizarre things."

Frank spoke in a hoarse voice, as if his throat had been smoked.

Frank then walked over step by step.

"No, this is a base we worked so hard to build, and I won't allow anyone to destroy it."

"Deceptive Hand, move."

A man in his forties walked out of the camp.

He activated the grotesque hand in his hand, and his arm instantly blazed with black light, transforming into a grotesque hand covered with many eyes.

At this moment, Ye Bai could sense that the man's movements had increased in both strength and speed.

"You are no match for me, I've already said that."

Black flames suddenly erupted from Frank's burning hands.

"Enough talk, take this! Tear the Claw!"

The enormous, grotesque hand pierced right through Frank's chest.

Flames erupted from Frank's shattered chest and landed on the man's cunning hand.

"Ahhh!"

A burning, excruciating pain spread through the man's body.

A desperate roar erupted from his mouth.

"Frank, Frank!"

The man exuded a dark aura, his eyes filled with unwavering faith.

"This is a shelter that I worked so hard to build, and I will never let you destroy it."

"Tricksterize, tricksterize me!"

The man removed the sacred object from his chest and tossed it aside.

Sacred objects can suppress the subconscious mind of the demonic hand, causing the speed at which the man transforms into a demon to begin to slow down.

At the very moment the sacred object vanished, strange patterns appeared on the man's face, and his eyes turned blood red.

Large eyes appeared on his gray skin, and a pair of ferocious bone hands emerged from his back.

"Frank, you forced me to do this."

At this moment, the man's consciousness seemed to be controlled by the eerie resurgence.

"This body is really good. It can actually undergo this stage of transformation. It's like I've projected my true self out of the inner world."

"Burning Frank, you should leave this place. This will become my territory, and the humans here will be my property!"

He said it in a strange, cold voice.

Your valuables?

"This is utterly ridiculous! Your wicked hand, suppressed by something sacred, is actually going against me. You really have no fear of death."

"But it doesn't matter to me. I haven't eaten anything strange in a long time. The moment I saw you, I felt hungry again."

"Alright, I'll make an exception this time and treat you as my food."

Flames shot into the sky as Frank burned, and the blackened charred parts on his body were burned away by the black flames.

Black bones emerged from the flames, and in a matter of moments, he was wielding a sharp claw and began fighting the grotesque hand.

The cunning hand seemed to be afraid of the black flames, and kept fighting Frank from a distance, not daring to get too close to the guy.

"Haha, you're scared, aren't you, Ghost Hand? You're just a low-level monster, while I am an indomitable soul born from flames. I am far more noble than you."

“Deceptive Hand, let me give you a piece of advice: if you don’t want to die, I will send you into the underworld.”

"There must be quite a few weird creatures that like to gnaw on their claws."

"You escaped from there, so you should know how terrifying it is."

Frank grinned, the grotesque, hollow skull silently mocking the cunning hand.

"Ugh, it's like watching chicks pecking at each other. Can't you be a little more serious?"

"Myriad Transformations Silkworm, go!" Ye Bai's voice came from afar.

"Who's there? Who dares to threaten Grandpa Frank!"

"Hmph, now I'll show you how many eyes Lord Ma has."

A large amount of flame erupted from Frank's body again, and the flames spread along the ground.

"Burn it, burn everything here completely."

"Let everything turn to ashes!"

The black flames spread out, incinerating everything in their path.

"The more souls I incinerate, the stronger I will become!"

Frank shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice hoarse.

However, a thin thread interrupted Frank's shouting.

"Long-winded."

Frank's body instantly disintegrated in the flames, and a thin thread pierced through Frank's bones.

The ever-changing silkworm simply removed Frank's skull and used it as an ornament on its own body.

"How is this possible? How is this possible? My power has all disappeared."

A desperate scream came from within the skull.

However, the Myriad Transformations Silkworm found this thing troublesome, so it simply spat out sticky silk threads and plugged the skull's mouth shut.

Oh oh oh!
Frank became extremely agitated because he could no longer speak.

"Who are you people?"

"How could such anomalies as you exist among humans? And the one you've made a contract with doesn't seem to be the supernatural."

"Are you from out of town?"

"The cunning hand said with a look of shock."

"Oh no! I have to get this message back to the Otherworld!"

The cunning hand said with utter shock.

Unfortunately, before the cunning hand could move, a silk thread completely bound it.

“Your consciousness can now enter eternal slumber, I said.”

Ye Bai picked up the sacred object from the ground and stuffed it directly into the mouth of the grotesque hand.

"Bah bah bah."

The eccentric hand gagged a few times, but instead of vomiting up the sacred substance, it suddenly emitted bursts of light from its body.

The body, which had been occupied by the grotesque hand, emitted a large amount of black smoke, and all the open eyes closed one by one.

After a short while, the monstrous hand returned to the human body, and the middle-aged man gradually regained his senses.

"That's strange. Wasn't my consciousness devoured by the Ghost Hand?"

"Why was I able to recover? What happened to me?"

The middle-aged man looked at the grotesque hand with a slight hint of doubt.

He suddenly spotted Ye Bai.

"Did you save me?"

"My name is Aiwei, and I am a fifth-tier Ghost Master!"

"My benefactor, what is your name?"

Ye Bai did not reveal his name, but instead gave a code name: "Just call me Big Monkey."

"As you can see, I am a traveler from the outside world, but I don't know why I came to this world."

"I am very interested in your world, so I want to know what happened here that made the world like this."

"By the way, I've noticed that all the food here is inedible; it all tastes extremely bitter. What's going on?"

Ye Bai continued to ask.

“My benefactor, this world has been taken over by the supernatural, and we humans are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter.”

"The supernatural has kept us confined to the town as a unit, weaving many scenarios for us, making us believe that this is a real town, and that we have the upper hand in the battle against the supernatural."

"But gradually I realized something was wrong."

"Because I discovered that a strange creature was residing inside the town's mayor, and the mayor was being controlled by this creature, requiring him to absorb human blood from time to time."

"I told others about my discovery, but they thought I was being delusional."

"The next day, the mayor summoned me and, taking advantage of my unpreparedness, tried to devour my flesh and blood."

"In the chaos, I triggered a sacred object, severed the mayor's hand, and escaped."

"In the end, I used a sacred object to suppress the Ghost Hand and formed a contract with it, which made me a fifth-tier Ghost Master."

"Master, I want to leave this world and live as an ordinary person. I wonder if you can grant me this wish?"

Aiwei knelt on the ground, pleading with Ye Bai.

"I'm just a slightly stronger human being, and in fact, I'm also looking for ways to leave this place."

"By the way, have someone clean up this place. I want to find out what exactly happened here."

"How do you obtain food in the wild? How many of your ghost hunters are there?"

All of this was something Ye Bai wanted to know.

"This is the survivor camp I built. There are only fifty-odd people here, including ten Ghost Masters."

“We grow a lot of food. After absorbing the yin energy in the food through the strange power within the Ghost Master, we can eat the food normally. The same goes for water.”

"Only the supernatural can cleanse the yin energy from food."

“We have always wanted to fight against the supernatural, but as you can see, I am too weak.”

“I once tried to persuade the humans trapped in the town, but they couldn’t bear to leave the peace there and ultimately failed to leave. Instead, they became the monster’s prey.”

"The supernatural only needs humans with strong mental power. These humans can be possessed by the supernatural, while other humans will only be regarded as food by them."

"If there isn't a single person with strong mental power in a given generation, they will treat the people in the town as food."

"At the same time, some of them will migrate back to the town and fabricate false memories, believing that the town is something that humans have taken back from the supernatural and that it has great significance."

After listening to Aiwei's words, Ye Bai realized that what Aiwei said was almost the same as what Ying Gui had said.

It seems that the Weird truly treats humans as its prey.

"Avey, what are your plans now? Do you intend to restore humanity's freedom, or..."

Those humans in the captive areas were treated like livestock; strangely, they could be made to live or die at will.

"I don't know. I just hope that humanity will no longer be kept by the supernatural, that we can overturn the laws of this world, and that humanity can become the masters of the supernatural."

Do you think there's something wrong with my idea?

Aiwei asked Ye Bai with a devout expression, as if Ye Bai were a messenger of God who could lead them away from this hell.

"To tell you the truth, I came to this world to set things right. The supernatural and the aloof are simply wrong."

"Humanity will inevitably overcome the supernatural and become its master. You have a good idea."

"However, you humans alone are not enough. We need more humans and more Ghost Masters."

"Only when the human force develops can we deal with more strange creatures."

"By the way, Ivy, do you know where the other survivor camps are? I'd like to visit those leaders." (End of Chapter)
