Chapter 169 The Black Light Reappears
The ghoul didn't die; it was still alive even after being cut into four pieces.

The severed chunks of flesh wriggled rapidly, extending fleshy tentacles as they hopped back into the fountain, devouring the flesh and blood within and quickly regenerating.

When it stood up again, it was a 3-meter-tall monster made up of pieces of its own body.

Elise said, "Master, this ghoul is not normal."

Mo Yu nodded and said, "Look at the area between his eyebrows."

Elise looked in the direction of the sound and exclaimed in surprise:
"It's Black Light!"

There was a small, very faint black dot between the ghoul's eyebrows, unlike the patches of black light seen before.

This is not good news for Mo Yu.

He couldn't be sure whether there were other Blacklights active, or whether the Blacklights wouldn't disappear and had found a new host after the Ripper's death.

This ghoul was enhanced by the black light, greatly improving its regenerative abilities and other attributes.

Mo Yu opened the car door, took out the Miao sword, and threw it behind the ghoul.

A mirror image appeared out of thin air, caught the Miao sword, and unleashed a burst of magic to launch a sneak attack from behind. Lacking any real swordsmanship, it slashed wildly with lightning speed and overwhelming force, chopping the ghoul into mincemeat.

Mo Yu observed carefully.

After the ghoul died, the black light did not dissipate on the spot, but first separated from the ghoul, moved in one direction, and then disappeared into the air, which was obviously a sign of escape.

Black light cannot kill.

It will only change hosts.

Thinking of this, Mo Yu felt a headache coming on. He remembered the dense black light on the Ripper's body; just a small tuft on the ghoul's forehead was enough to grant it combat power surpassing that of its peers.

Mo Yu looked towards the manor.

This visit is probably not as easy as expected.

"Elise."

"Yes, Master."

"Unleash your ultimate move, piercing right through this entire manor."

"it is good."

Elise unleashed the Bloodthorns, smashing through the manor's main gate and frantically expanding inwards. Explosions echoed continuously, windows throughout the manor bursting open as the bloodthorns spread, entangled and shattering everything in their path.

Skill ends.

Elise retreated to Mo Yu's side, panting heavily. It was daytime, and she had forcibly activated her ultimate move, which had consumed a great deal of energy.

"Master, everyone inside is dead."

"It seems he's not here."

Mo Yu nodded, activated the rewind function, and returned to the time before he gave the order to Iris.

"There's no one here. Let's go check the back of the mountain. Alpha, launch the drone."

"Wang!"

Alpha launched several spherical drones, which rose into the sky to monitor the surrounding area.

The signs of battle nearby were too obvious.

From high above, you can see patches of blood on the ground, stretching along the road towards the back of the mountain.

There was only bloodstains; no body was visible.

Judging from what we just saw, the bodies had all been eaten. Battle scars and bloodstains stretched for several kilometers, and the vegetation and mountainside behind the hill were severely damaged, indicating a very fierce battle.

Judging from these battlefield traces, the enemy attacked the Harriet family from the front.

The two people and their dog then headed towards the back of the mountain.

There are several forks in the road along the way.

Following Mo Yu's directions, they arrived at a small square. Upon approaching, he saw a blood-written clue hidden nearby.

Elise also issued a warning: "There are seven ghouls around here, and they are very resilient."

Mo Yu: "3."

Elise: "?"

Mo Yu: "2."

Elise nodded.

Mo Yu: "1."

Backtracking deviation, airdrop mirror image.

Behind each ghoul, a mirror image appears out of thin air. Even with the enhancement of the black light, they are no match for the current Mo Yu.

With a grappling throw, he struck the ghoul meatballs with both hands.

Elise turned her head, listened to the sounds around her, and whispered, "Master, the clone skill is really convenient."

“This skill isn’t very convenient,” Mo Yu rejected, tugging at his suit collar; the clothes weren’t very practical for movement.

Without asking any further questions, Elise stepped forward and took Mo Yu's arm.

The two entered the small square. It was filled with the remains of corpses.

In front of the small square is a spacious tunnel, from which you can hear rhythmic thumping sounds.

"Come out, come out~ My little cuties~ Come out~"

A voice that was neither male nor female came from inside the tunnel.

The tunnel was completely dark, with only a few red dots visible moving around.

Mo Yu called out:
"alpha."

"Wang."

Alpha launched several lighting drones, which flew into the tunnel and burst into bright light, illuminating the entire tunnel.

In front of an ancient stone gate, more than a dozen ghouls gathered, led by a giant ghoul that was 3 meters tall, dressed in a clown costume, and had two heads.

When the light came on, his two heads rotated 180 degrees to look out of the cave.

Two heads dressed as clowns spoke at the same time:
"Who goes there? Is the head of the family back?"

Mo Yu led Elise into the tunnel. He stood in the center, surrounded by glowing drones. His cane struck the stone floor with a crisp sound.
"It's very lively here."

His gaze fell on the clown ghoul.

Early stage of the third evolutionary form.

Visible black light swirled around its body, like flames burning, and a small patch of black light clung to the surrounding ghouls.

With that much black light attached, no wonder they were able to fight their way in.

It's just unclear why they targeted the Harriet family.

The clown stared at the two of them, his two heads simultaneously sticking out long, scarlet tongues, and his eerie laughter rang out in unison: "You... are quite delicious."

Mo Yu said, "Where did you get this power from? Tell me, I need it very much."

"This is a gift from God."

The clown uses binaural audio and emits a low whistle.

All the ghouls sprang into action and surrounded the two.

Elise hugged Mo Yu's arm tightly, and crimson ripples spread beneath her feet.

Mo Yu gently patted Iris's small hand and said, "Go back."

"Yes." Elise was puzzled, but didn't ask any further questions and obediently retreated.

At the entrance, Alpha had already set up a folding door. It took out a Miao knife and tossed it at Mo Yu.

Mo Yu drew his longsword, ready for battle.

He did not use mirrors for assistance, but fought head-on with his longsword.

Hiding inside.

Elise and Herobella were puzzled and didn't understand why Mo Yu did this.

But in less than 5 minutes, they understood.

Just as Mo Yu had killed five ghouls and was engaged in fierce battle with the remaining ghouls, a man's roar came from outside the tunnel.

"Who goes there?! How dare you cause trouble in our Harriet family! Come out here!"

"Master, the dear master is back! Hehehe! Hahaha! Master! I'm here! I'm here!"

Suddenly, the clown went mad. Ignoring Mo Yu, he crawled on all fours and burst out of the tunnel.

The sounds of battle erupted outside the tunnel.

Seeing this, Mo Yu stopped pretending and used all her strength to kill the ghoul minions. Then she went to the tunnel entrance to watch the show.

In the small square.

Two ghouls are engaged in a fierce battle.

One was a clown ghoul, the other clad in armor and wielding a greatsword. They engaged in a pure physical clash, fighting fiercely.

A middle-aged man stood at the back, his face extremely grim. Around him stood several ghouls of various shapes, clearly under his control.

This is a family of witchers who are skilled at manipulating ghouls for their own use.

Mo Yu watched the play.

Others might not know, but he knew perfectly well. Besides the spectacle in the small square, another drama was unfolding behind this stone door, which was why he had Elise hide.

Regardless of the influence of the dark light, this family is destined to perish today. Red-named bosses are not so easy to provoke.

Meanwhile, in another city.

Alice sneezed, rubbed her nose, and continued directing her subordinates to attack a monster's lair.

Govia: "Sister, where are you in this world? Don't let that pervert catch you."

Alice pondered deeply and said, "I forgot... I think it was around this time that I started to hate humans, after finding medicine for Bao and then wiping out several witcher families."
