This actor is full of tricks.

"what!!!!"

Hearing the eerie and shrill screams, Lin Jue immediately retreated, summoning the Mirror Ghost and the old man at the same time: "I'll leave it to you."

Without any hesitation, the female ghost in the mirror rushed forward and launched a frenzied attack. Compared to the old man, she seemed more pure and completely obedient to Lin Jue's orders, because if she did not show her value, she might be kicked out of the game.

Seeing that the female ghost was going to such lengths, the old man had no choice but to slowly follow her.

Lin Jue watched the strange creature retreating under the attack of the two monsters, and his gaze returned to the pencil sharpener in his hand.

That last strike gave him a rough idea of ​​the knife's abilities. It was somewhat like a weakened version of flames; once an enemy's flesh was cut, it would be imbued with a devouring power, making it impossible for the strange creature to escape.

However, compared to flames, the absorption speed of a pencil sharpener is rather slow, more like an ineradicable virus that slowly corrodes away flesh and blood.

"If I encounter an extremely vicious beast, I can sneak up and stab it, then run away. Could this blade's ability gradually devour such a vicious beast bit by bit?"

Lin Jue started to let his imagination run wild, but this was basically impossible. Putting aside whether he could even get close to the extremely evil beast, if the extremely evil beast could be destroyed by a strange weapon, then it could not possibly be an existence that surpasses all strange beings.

"This thing's ability is a bit like tetanus. Once you're cut by a knife, its ability is like the tetanus virus entering the enemy's body, slowly destroying their life force."

"Let's just stop calling it pencil sharpener and call it the tetanus blade instead."

Lin Jue put the pencil sharpener away. It used to belong to Yan Hui, but now that he had named it, it was his property.

Although the knife's abilities were somewhat useless for someone with flames, it was extremely sharp. He hadn't even used much force to slice off that strange arm, making it hard to believe that a pencil sharpener could cause such damage.

Moreover, he is now a monster, unable to use fire, so the Tetanus Blade can be considered a weapon that can be used, at least it is better than the previous bronze dagger.

On the other side, the old man and the female ghost had already dealt with the monster. Looking at the monster's corpse, Lin Jue said calmly, "Eat it."

Although we still have a good supply of ferocious blood, we can't waste these evolution materials that we've acquired.

The old man continued to laugh, but after consuming the ferocious blood, he became increasingly resistant to devouring the monster. On the contrary, the female ghost in the mirror directly cut the monster into pieces, eating it until her mouth was full of blood.

"Gulp—" The old man's eyelids twitched wildly. This girl was really ruthless. She swallowed her own kind without any hesitation.

Seeing the old man staring at her, the mirror-like woman offered him a lump of flesh and blood, asking indistinctly, "Grandpa, why aren't you eating?"

"I'm so sick of looking at this, I'm not eating anymore." The old man crawled back into his raincoat.

After the mirror ghost finished eating, Lin Jue rolled up his raincoat and put it away, then continued forward according to the map's instructions.

On the way, he saw a dilapidated car with its body completely twisted and deformed, covered with dried bloodstains, and several mangled corpses inside.

This must have been a vehicle that wandered into the fog, disturbing the eerie creatures within, and everyone became their prey.

Lin Jue went to the driver's seat. The car key was still in the lock. He threw the severed hand aside and sat down.

I stepped on the brake, turned the key, and the engine roared twice before shutting off completely. "What a pity. Although the car body is twisted, the chassis, fuel tank, and other parts are still relatively intact. Judging from the sound just now, the engine should be fine. It's just that the battery is dead and can't start."

Lin Jue felt a little regretful. There was nothing he could do since the battery was dead, and there was nothing nearby to jump-start the battery.

After opening the trunk and confirming there was no spare battery, Lin Jue had no choice but to leave.

However, rustling sounds came from the surrounding buildings. It must have been the noise of him starting his car that attracted the attention of other strange creatures. A series of sinister gazes lurked in the shadows, staring at him menacingly.

Some gazes were withdrawn, probably because they lost interest after seeing that he was just a strange creature. However, some gazes remained restless, wanting to devour him.

Lin Jue followed a gaze and saw a male ghost with pitch-black eyes staring coldly at him from the second-floor balcony of a building, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth as if he had spotted some delicious food.

"Get down." Lin Jue stretched out a finger and beckoned to the male ghost, his provocative posture full of bravado. Since Yan Hui had an eccentric personality, there was no need to be subservient.

The male ghost never expected that a student who looked so weak would dare to act like this. His face turned sinister, and he jumped off the second-floor balcony, crawling towards Lin Jue on all fours.

As the male ghost made his move, other restless ghosts emerged and rushed towards Lin Jue, seemingly afraid that if they were too late, they would miss out on a share of the spoils.

Most of these strange creatures are E-rank, with only a few being D-rank. Even though Lin Jue can no longer use flames, he can still kill them all with pure physical strength.

He wielded the tetanus blade, employing no fighting techniques, but with wide, sweeping movements, each strike drawing out a spray of black blood.

The knife in his hand rang out, as if in merriment. The more Lin Jue used it, the more comfortable he became with it. For some reason, he felt that the knife was slowly getting stronger, because the speed at which it absorbed the strange things was increasing.

"Could this knife still grow stronger? If so, it might actually harm the most wicked and vicious creatures in the future."

This was an unexpected delight, and Lin Jue mentally raised his evaluation of the Tetanus Blade by one level.

Ten minutes later, he stood covered in blood amidst a pile of bizarre corpses. The Tetanus Blade was whistling incessantly, and distorted ghost faces appeared on its blade, all of which were the bizarre creatures he had just killed. The blade was absorbing the power of the bizarre creatures to enhance itself.

This knife is indeed unusual; rather than a strange weapon, it is more like a monster that can grow.

"Could there really be a monster hidden inside the knife?"

Lin Jue raised the knife in front of him and examined it carefully. All the ghost faces on the knife slowly disappeared, and there was no longer any abnormality.

Looking at the bizarre corpses scattered on the ground, Lin Jue shook the old man out and said, "Grandpa, digest the Mirror Ghost now, don't waste it."

The shopkeeper looked helpless; there was no way to escape the fate of eating the monster's meat, no matter how hard he tried.

As the old man devoured his own kind, Lin Jue's eyes swept around, and all the prying gazes disappeared at that moment. Although the strange creature was violent and cruel, it was clear that this seemingly weak student was not someone to be trifled with.

After a moment's thought, Lin Jue abandoned the idea of ​​cleaning up the place. The journey was still long, and he needed to hurry. (End of Chapter)
