Chapter 158 Just This?

Just this? Master Mo? Pfft!

Fang Yue looked at the limp corpse on the ground and spat.

When he was being beaten down earlier, Fang Yue was filled with anger.

Now that he had beaten the corpse down, he finally vented some frustration.

Fortunately, although this corpse copied his body, it seemed to have only inherited his martial skills and not his talent.

Did Fang Yue rely on the Raging Fire Heart Technique to survive out there? Wrong! Completely wrong! I rely on [Breath of the Night]!

It's no exaggeration to say that I am the Breath of the Night Jinchuriki! Without Breath of the Night, there would be no me. This life was given to me by Breath of the Night.

You knockoff don't have [Breath of the Night], what are you pretending for? What are you pretending for!!

Seemingly not satisfied, Fang Yue kicked the corpse on the ground a couple more times.

But strangely, even though the corpse on the ground was no longer moving, the system notification didn't sound.

"Is this guy still alive?"

He relentlessly beat the corpse for another few minutes, smashing its shriveled body beyond recognition, before Fang Yue frowned and stopped.

At this moment, the burning white flames on his body had long been extinguished, leaving only several piercing wounds on his face and body, whistling like leaks. From time to time, the injuries would flare up, showing small amounts of HP loss: '-5', '-3'.

Fortunately, as the Breath of the Night took effect, the injuries gradually recovered, and the amount of HP loss gradually decreased.

By the time Liao Moran cautiously poked her head out from the corner and came to Fang Yue's side, the holes on Fang Yue's face had already scabbed over, and the HP loss notification had stopped.

"Is Master Mo dead?"

"Not dead."

"What?!"

Liao Moran was startled and quickly hid back behind the pillar, poking her head out again. "Then, then, then, quickly kill it!"

Liao Moran had witnessed the battle just now. The corpse's violent attacks would be fatal to her if she took just one hit. She didn't have Fang Yue's freakish physique, able to withstand so many attacks as if nothing had happened, and ultimately trade injuries for injuries to forcibly take down the corpse.

"Although it's not dead, it has no aura anymore. I don't know what state it's in now. In any case, I'll smash its corpse first."

Saying that, Fang Yue once again raised his fist and punched the corpse on the ground.

Before long, the corpse's shriveled skin was beaten to a pulp, and its bones were shattered all over the ground.

But the system notification he expected still didn't appear.

Fang Yue frowned as he looked at the shattered bones and remains on the ground. He circulated the Raging Fire Heart Technique and directly set it on fire.

Sizzle!

The bones sizzled, quickly turning black and becoming extremely brittle. With a stomp from Fang Yue, they completely turned to powder.

However… the system notification still didn't sound!

This thing is still alive!

Fang Yue's expression turned ugly. Could it have abandoned its corpse and hidden itself?

Fang Yue really couldn't think of any means to deal with this corpse that was reduced to powder but still wasn't dead.

"Great! It's dead this time, right?"

Liao Moran poked her head out again, causing Fang Yue to feel a little annoyed.

But at that moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck his mind.

"Water Curtain Room!"

"What?" Liao Moran was stunned.

"Before, when that female corpse came out of the Water Curtain Room, it told us not to enter the Water Curtain Door. What do you think will happen if we collect the fragments of this corpse and throw them into the Water Curtain Room?"

He seemed to be asking Liao Moran, but Fang Yue was already taking action.

After simply cleaning up the remains of the corpse, Fang Yue wrapped everything together and took it to the Water Curtain Door.

"Tail, are you still inside?"

"Brother Ye! I'm still here. Have you guys found a way to open the Water Curtain Door?"

"Not yet, but I'm going to throw something into the Water Curtain Door to try. Wait a moment and see what happens to it once it enters the Water Curtain."

Saying that, Fang Yue threw the package containing the fragments of the corpse towards the Water Curtain Door.

With a plop, the fragments of the corpse pierced through the Water Curtain.

However, at the same time the corpse pierced through the Water Curtain…

"System notification: Congratulations to player [Night Dusk], for killing [Artificial Aberration: Mold Seven], reward: Force Manipulation +20, Force Redirection +20, Lifespan +3 months."

Fang Yue: ???

What the hell?

Artificial Aberration?

Not Master Mo?

Fang Yue was a bit confused. Just then, with a plop, a figure was ejected from the Water Curtain Door.

Fang Yue subconsciously reached out to catch it. Looking down, he saw it was Tail, looking completely bewildered.

The two of them stared at each other, speechless for a moment.

It wasn't until Fang Yue looked at the female corpse beside him, still on the ground, and then sent a message to Tail, that he confirmed that the person in his arms was indeed Tail himself.

"It, it's me."

Quickly distancing herself from Fang Yue, Tail said with a slightly red face, "When I caught the thing you threw in just now, the entire Water Curtain Room generated a strange repulsive force that sent me flying out."

There's such a thing?

Fang Yue couldn't help but ask, "What about the package? Is it still in your hand?"

"Of course…"

Tail subconsciously raised her hand, only to realize that the package she had been tightly gripping had already disappeared.

"It's gone… Brother Ye, what exactly is going on?"

"I'm not sure either. Perhaps only Hai Ming, who is still inside the Water Curtain Door, might know something. Can you ask him what the situation is inside the room?"

"…I don't have him as a friend."

Fang Yue:!

The poor guy, locked in the same room and still can't add each other as friends.

Fang Yue sent a message to Hai Ming himself.

"Brother Ye, where's my Goddess Tail! She suddenly flew out! Is she outside!"

Hai Ming immediately responded. Fang Yue briefly explained the situation and then asked, "After the corpse fragments entered the Water Curtain Room, did any changes occur in the room?"

"Yes! Many words appeared on the walls of the room! Almost all of them are ancient characters I can't understand."

"Almost?"

"Yeah, because there's one line of text written in basic characters we all recognize. It says - Reshaping Regression, Failure."

Reshaping Regression, Failure?

After seeing the system notification for the kill, which contained strange names like [Artificial Aberration: Mold Seven], Fang Yue had already determined that the corpse was not the Master Mo rumored in Mo Village.

But without a doubt, the real Master Mo seemed to have conducted some experiments in this desolate ruin, and the artificial aberration was one of the failed products.

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yue asked, "Are there any other changes or discoveries in the Water Curtain Room?"

"Yes, a golden box with the number 'Seven' on it suddenly opened after the text on the walls faded! Inside was a cold stone, which I'm holding now."
