The wind and snow, carrying the frost-covered mimicry of the night ghost, cast an almost invisible gray shadow between the ice ridges.

Even though it was much faster than the giant beetle, the distance between the Ghost Shark's territory and the safe zone was still far too great.

Three hours later, he saw the underground river water flowing silently beneath the ice.

He tightly wrapped the space ring on his left index finger with his scales, inside which lay a full one hundred standard fire crystals and twenty fire crystal mother ore.

This is a gift from Atlantis, and it is currently the biggest bargaining chip for the entire community to survive.

It must be sent back as soon as possible!

When the familiar ice crack at the outlet of the underground river came into view, Ling Shuang abruptly stopped in her tracks.

He lay prone in the shadow of the last ice ridge, his dark red pupils contracting sharply.

"How was the safe zone discovered?"

Beneath the ice cracks in the stone wall stood the back of a terrifying giant.

His bronze skin was covered with rough, rock-like scales, and he wore an apron made of animal sinew around his waist.

His arms were as thick as two stone pillars, and his right hand was tightly gripping a creature he knew all too well.

That Night Demon Mother that once dragged the entire Longmao Prefecture into a nightmare!

After evolving to the third stage, its size increased, and its tentacles doubled.

But at this moment, he is kneeling in the dark river.

All sixteen tentacles were drooping, with two broken off at the base.

The densely packed Night Demon embryos on the suction cup had all disappeared, leaving only shriveled empty pods.

Ling Shuang, who was spying, began to breathe heavily.

The Night Demon Mother, capable of instantly killing Geltu, was now treated like a toy to be manipulated at will in the hands of the giants.

The opponent's aura was even stronger than Ying's and the others.

Is this the limit for a third-stage mature form?

This creature appeared in the wasteland.

Ling Shuang subconsciously thought of the inspector Ying had mentioned.

Why did the inspectors arrive here early?

They also used the Night Demon Mother to discover the safe zone.

As if suddenly remembering something, his pupils widened instantly.

Does that also mean...?

The rancher found out too.

Just then, the Cyclops seemed to notice the mother's slackness and suddenly tightened its grip on her neck.

The mother let out a painful scream, her massive body arching backward as she was constricted.

It tried to scratch its opponent with its remaining tentacles, but the Cyclops pulled it back, and it slammed heavily against the stone wall, with rubble and ice shards falling into the underground river.

The Cyclops Night Owl spoke slowly.

"You understand me. I want more of your offspring, all of them, to feed the fire within, understand?"

Despite the barrier separating them, after several attempts, Night Owl discovered that the new spark in the safe zone was pitifully weak.

None of them had reached the first rank. The weapons that killed the Night Demon larvae might not even be able to harm the Night Demon mother in his hands.

Therefore, an evil thought arose in his mind.

He ordered his servants to chase after the slave who delivered the message.

Judging by the timeline, that slave should still be on his way.

We can make it!

Even when the rancher eventually found out about it.

If he can devour all the new sparks in the safe zone before the letter arrives, and then pretend that the Night Demon Mother went out of control and destroyed the entire new spark nest.

Even if the rancher had suspicions, he couldn't find any evidence.

Seeing the weakness of humanity, he wanted to monopolize this batch of new fire.

No one has seen the new spark.

But in the stories that have been passed down

Once the indigenous people consume those new sparks of fire, unexpected changes will occur.

The Night Demon Mother perfectly illustrates this point.

It encountered the night owl before it had even fully grown up.

Perhaps after some time, once it has completely exhausted the power from the new fire within its body, it is not impossible for it to evolve to the fourth tier.

Thinking this, Night Owl gradually increased the force in his hand.

Then the Night Demon Mother began to roar madly.

High-frequency sound waves travel extremely far in a blizzard.

Black liquid seeped from the mother's gray-green eye sockets as she forcefully channeled her last remaining energy to spread the summoning signal further.

After breaking through to the third tier, its intelligence gradually increased.

It didn't want to die.

Therefore, it is summoning all the night ghosts that can hear its voice.

This is the only Tier 3 Mother on the Frostspine Wasteland, and even the offspring of other beings of the same kind must obey its commands.

Noticing this, Night Owl laughed wildly.

"Hahaha, shout it out! Shout it out louder!"

Low-frequency hissing echoed from the depths of the icy plains in response from other Night Demons.

One after another, small groups of Night Demons leaped out from the ice crevices. Some of them, still with blood on their lips from hunting wild creatures, suddenly became frenzied upon hearing the call and rushed toward the safe zone barrier.

But Ling Shuang, who was on the outside, suddenly had a bright idea.

Isn't this giving myself a chance to go home?

He quickly switched to his Night Demon form.

After witnessing several adult Night Demons enter the gap and the giant showed no unusual behavior, Ling Shuang also feigned madness.

Using all four limbs, he directly merged into the torrent of the Night Demon army.

Ling Shuang's nerves were constantly on edge; he was always ready to switch back to ghoul mimicry and unleash his Bloodlust.

Fortunately, the giants lacked the ability to distinguish.

Moreover, it seems to have taken a liking to tormenting the Night Demon Mother.

Even after summoning so many offspring, it still had several tentacles violently bitten off by the giant.

However, Ling Shuang was focused on the giant's expression and failed to notice that the Night Demon Mother had sensed an extremely faint anomaly.

Within its perception field covering the entire outlet of the underground river, Ling Shuang emitted an unusual energy fluctuation.

But the mother did not make a sound.

It merely glanced at the owl through its deepest eye socket.

This giant is gnawing on its own tentacles!

The gaze fixed on the owl's retreating figure held a heavy, unyielding hatred.

At the same time, everyone on the shore suddenly noticed that countless small eddies were rising on the surface of the lake.

Guo Yueshan shouted quickly,

"Manually adjust the arrow tower's attack direction; the seventh wave of Night Ghosts isn't over yet."

However, the final sight that emerged from the lake was beyond everyone's expectations.

Large swathes of grayish-green corpses surged up, crowding together in dense clusters.

Then, in the middle of the lake, a terrifying figure suddenly leaped out of the water.

It is nearly 2.5 meters long, and the muscle lines of its limbs are much smoother than those of the previous Night Demon.

"What the hell? The monsters have changed!"

But at this moment, the arrow tower did not attack.

Guo Yueshan slammed his hand on the arrow tower.

"No arrows? Or did it jam at the crucial moment?"

In a daze, the "night demon" had already come ashore.

The scales began to peel away from the face, revealing a human face covered in frost.

"Everyone, I'm back."

The last wave of nearly thirty adult night ghosts was all easily killed by Ling Shuang.

For him now, adult night demons with strength around the first-tier mature form are simply too weak.

At first, everyone was silent.

What followed was an unbelievable celebration.

"Ling Shuang is back!"

"Xiao Ling, you scared me to death! I was wondering why the arrow tower wasn't working."

"Tiejun, you almost shot that arrow just now, didn't you?"

Zhao Tiejun glared at the man.

"Don't talk nonsense, I recognized that was Manager Ling a long time ago."

The man who was being scolded was originally a Freemason, but now he's a die-hard fan of Ling Shuang and doesn't care about Zhao Tiejun at all.

"Tsk tsk tsk, every time Manager Ling comes back, I feel a little safer."

I wonder what good stuff they brought this time.
