Chapter 1244 - 1242: What’s Going On with the Two Combat Auras?

Chapter 1244: Chapter 1242: What’s Going On with the Two Combat Auras?

Feeling the Aura of Death coming from the private room next door, Gu Xi immediately understood what was going on.

Someone had noticed the commotion outside and released the Undead they carried with them.

Gu Xi wasn’t surprised at all that someone would let loose an Undead on this train.

After all, this train passed through the Netherworld, so having a few Undead Mages on board was perfectly normal.

It was just... was it really appropriate for them to release Undead here?

Gu Xi muttered in his heart, completely forgetting that he was currently telling Luna to send an Electronic Ghost over, which was also a kind of Summoning of Undead.

Anyway, Gu Xi was like a crow perched on a chimney, thinking it was only the others who were dirty.

When the Undead aura came from the compartment next door, part of Gu Xi’s attention shifted over there.

It was precisely this wariness that let Gu Xi react at the first instant when something happened.

Boom!

Just as the sounds outside died down, a heavy impact suddenly came from the private room next to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi dove down at once; the Extreme Sunlight Carrier appeared, raising two Shields to block in the direction the sound had come from.

But the compartment was really too small; the moment the Extreme Sunlight Carrier appeared, it took up most of the space, and Gu Xi could only curl himself up in a spot under the recliner.

The instant the Extreme Sunlight Carrier materialized, the compartment wall was smashed open by a powerful force.

From the private room next door, a Bone Spear thicker than a normal person’s thigh pierced through the wall and struck the Shield of Extreme Sunlight.

Boom! Boom!

The moment it hit the Shield, the Long Spear exploded on the spot, blasting the Extreme Sunlight Carrier back into the nearby wall.

Gu Xi could see now that this was the result of a Bone Spear being refined and then further enhanced.

Judging from how thick this Bone Spear was, the Bone Spear Skill had to be at least raised to above Level 20.

The one in the private room next door was probably a rather powerful Undead Mage.

It just wasn’t the time to be worrying about that.

After Gu Xi’s Extreme Sunlight Carrier was knocked flying by the Bone Spear, Gu Xi was exposed within the enemy’s Attack range.

Gu Xi’s eyes widened, his skin turning a pale Gold as over three thousand layers of Golden Skin fully activated.

Then Gu Xi braced both hands on the floor and sprang toward the opposite compartment through the hole smashed in the wall.

When he charged into the private room next door, Gu Xi realized the situation inside was a complete mess.

A huge half-sodden corpse was occupying more than half the space in the compartment. That corpse was constantly dragging at the limbs of a black-robed woman, trying to stuff her into its belly.

The black-robed woman was struggling nonstop; the earlier Bone Spear had been thrown by her.

But it was useless; this corpse was far too bizarre.

This corpse looked like a wet cadaver that had been soaking in a Sewer for over a decade, its entire surface waxed over.

Black liquid was continuously flowing down, and when it splashed onto the black-robed woman, it could even directly melt away her clothes.

And within that black liquid were many withered yellow arms that had already seized all the joints of the black-robed woman, making her struggles grow weaker and weaker.

Gu Xi also noticed that poisonous gases kept spraying from the corpse’s mouth, each kind of gas having a different effect.

The black-robed woman had still been struggling at first, but by the time Gu Xi rushed in, her movements had lost all strength.

Seeing Gu Xi rush in, she only lifted her head slightly and opened her mouth, wanting to say something but unable to make a sound.

Gu Xi had no particular desire to save her, but he understood that once this black-robed woman was swallowed by the corpse, the corpse’s next target would be him.

Since he had to fight anyway, why not strike first and at least get some advantage.

With that thought, Gu Xi immediately stretched out his hand, activating Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain.

It was clear that Gu Xi was already very used to using Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain now.

These days, whenever Gu Xi saw an Undead, he wanted to use Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain to suppress it.

Even though he knew that using Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain wasn’t the optimal choice.

When facing hostile Undead, the best option should be to just kill the Undead outright.

That way, with Double Death he could gain an Undead of the same Level, and he could also bring the Undead’s corpse back for Summoning.

An extreme one-for-two trade; that was the most profitable play.

Not like now, using Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain on the spot and only getting a subdued Undead out of it.

As he struck, Gu Xi consoled himself in his heart.

This time, it was only because the compartment was too small that I used Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain.

Not because I just casually made a move and immediately burned this skill.

As he thought this, his hands didn’t slacken; instead he exerted more force, smashing the Peach Mountain he’d compressed to the size of a fist heavily into the corpse’s forehead.

Even if he couldn’t enlarge the Peach Mountain, the power of Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain was the same.

As Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain fell, two completely different Combat Auras immediately sprang up from the corpse’s body.

Gu Xi had never seen anything like this before.

At least, in all the knowledge he’d learned, there was nothing about two different Combat Auras.

Gu Xi only knew that whether it was a Player or an NPC, once they reached Level 20, they would generate a Combat Aura based on their class.

At Level 30, they could control their Combat Aura, freely enlarging or shrinking it and moving it to different positions.

Two different Combat Auras?

This corpse belonged to two Undead above Level 20, but even if two such Undead were combined, their Level wouldn’t be Level 40, right?

Gu Xi was a bit puzzled.

But his hands didn’t stop; he could already tell that his Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain was still a bit under-leveled.

At the very least, it couldn’t take this corpse down in one go.

So Gu Xi needed to up the stakes.

Gu Xi flipped his left hand, and another Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain appeared in his palm.

This Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain was still small, but it didn’t land on the corpse’s forehead.

Instead, it slammed directly into the head of the black-robed woman being dragged into the corpse.

With that strike from Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain, all the Withered Bones and arms wrapped around the black-robed woman bounced away.

The black-robed woman lunged forward, and Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain flew straight into the corpse’s chest cavity.

Right after that, the corpse’s movements clearly stalled, and the two operating Combat Auras visibly dimmed.

"Still not enough?

Then let’s add one more!"

Gu Xi decisively sent out yet another Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain.

Just as that Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain shot out, a ding sounded by Gu Xi’s ear.

[Ding, you have forcibly subdued an Undead (Demon River Corpse Source, Level 42) using Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain. Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain gains 1 point of Experience.]
