I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 757 - 468 Red Apple Pollution Source_3

"For the sake of caution, it’s best we use the ’Pale Mark’ to inform Jack of the situation. Let’s leave it to the organization to deal with this... Although we won’t get the kill rewards, we can at least get the intelligence rewards," one of them said.

The group exchanged glances, thought for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

The adventure in the Spirit World had only just begun, and they did not want to be too aggressive, lest they squander their resurrection chances... Besides, everyone had already advanced to Sequence Eight, and the penalty of dropping one level upon death was quite severe.

Seeing that his teammates agreed with his proposal, Dongyang immediately interacted with the "Pale Mark" and sent a message requesting assistance from Leader Jack.

Then, he whispered:

"Let’s keep quiet and retreat to the previous area..."

Just as the group was slowly backing away, the Dragon King suddenly felt something slip under his foot as if he had stepped on something.

"Damn..."

He looked down and cursed under his breath.

Those greasy chunks of fat had somehow spread from the dark shadows to under their feet without notice, and he had stepped right on them!

Pupu pupu!!

In the room, that huge lump of flesh suddenly bloomed like a flower, and bulges burst one after another, spilling out blood-stained jailers and dead convicts.

The "Priest," who had half of his body emerging from the flesh mound, suddenly twisted his face and raised his withered hand, ringing the filthy bells grown together.

Ding ding ding!

The contaminated humanoid monsters rose from the ground, all of them wailing miserably, making a very uncomfortable sound that even felt spine-chilling.

The flesh continued to burst and grow, over and over again, as one contaminated monster after another crazily rushed towards the group of high-level players.

"There are too many of them, don’t force it, let’s retreat for now!"

Dongyang shouted calmly.

Boom boom boom...

Tutu and Nana, holding their flintlock guns, began firing behind them, and the people hurriedly fled in the direction they had come from.

However, they discovered that the cells along the way had eerily opened by themselves, and a group of contaminated monsters, dead from torture, rushed out from them, blocking their retreat.

"Bloody hell!"

Doghead Gold cursed, gasping for breath.

Polaris looked grave. These contaminated monsters were indeed tough; even he could not mow them down like cutting grass. He needed his teammates to cover for him to be able to kill them one by one... But now, they were surrounded, making it extremely difficult to break free.

"This is just our luck, running into a source of corruption as soon as we entered the Spirit World," the Dragon King complained as he reloaded his weapon after running out of bullets.

"It’s over, this life might be forfeit."

Just when everyone felt disheartened, a tall figure appeared out of nowhere and moved at high speed, crossing through the encircling contaminated creatures and leaving behind after-images.

The sound of slicing never ceased, along with the dull thuds of flesh being torn apart, as the jailers and the tortured dead were dismembered and fell.

When the group of high-level players came to their senses, they saw remnants scattered around them, blood mixed with the layer of fat fungus, piled up thick. All the contaminated creatures had died, without exception.

The familiar figure of a man in a black hat stood not far away, holding a silver thin sword, turning his head to nod at them in greeting.

"Mr. Jack!"

Dongyang quickly greeted.

The group was surprised by the speed of the organization leader’s arrival for support; it had been only a few minutes, and he had already rushed over.

"My big brother Jack is so handsome..."

Wei Yin giggled and took several screenshots in a row.

However, Jack offered no more words. After nodding in acknowledgment, he walked through the room door alone, and immediately something terrifying happened inside, accompanied by a huge bang.

Boom!!

Purple sword radiance burst forth from the room like a breached flood, spilling out.

The entire dungeon seemed on the verge of collapse.

The already blurred azure view began to completely crumble until everything slowly faded away, turning into a wide open countryside scene.

A gentleman in a black hat, leaning on a silver staff, approached them. The huge tumor behind him was gone, leaving only a cracked, basin-sized silver-white strange "beetle" and a ground full of extraordinary materials.

"Hmm, your information was timely. This was indeed a source of contamination, but now it’s been removed..."

Chen Lun said to them with a smile.

The reason he could arrive so timely was that this wasn’t his real body, but a "Deception Incarnation" that had long been wandering in the Spirit World. It wasn’t just the incarnation; his Circus executives, Golden Cup legislators, and even Mr. Bottles, were all dispatched. They rushed to locations specified by player requests for assistance to destroy corresponding sources of contamination.

Shortly after the main quest began, he discovered he could once again share in the player’s kill rewards as he did during the western wars.

This piqued his interest to a great extent.

The Saint’s promotion task was imminent, and it wouldn’t hurt to accumulate more experience points.

"Teacher, is that beetle the actual source of contamination?"

Polaris looked at the corpse of the silver-white insect and asked doubtfully.

"You could say that."

Chen Lun nodded.

"These insects are called ’Children of the Ancient God’ Didak, the most terrifying creatures in the whole contamination disaster, bar none. Their bodies carry the Filthy Blood of the origin."

"Mr. Jack, the contaminated creatures we encountered just now, it seemed like they were people from the Red Apple Church..."

Dongyang said gravely.

"Hmm, I’ve already scouted it out. If I am not mistaken, a ’Sprit World turmoil’ has captured a dungeon stronghold of the Red Apple Church, and this Didak Bug Person just happened to devour the strongest Priest among them, contaminating the entire stronghold..."

Chen Lun said softly.

He was also surprised, not expecting the Red Apple Church—which had temporarily gone offline—to reappear in the players’ view in such a manner.

The high-level player group nodded in semi-understanding.

"Alright, I have other important matters to attend to, so I must leave. You continue hunting the contaminated creatures in the Spirit World... If you encounter any difficult monsters again, you can notify the Circus like before, and an executive will come to help you."

"Eh! My dear big brother Jack! Don’t go!"

Wei Yin wanted to run over and hold onto him, but Chen Lun’s Deception Incarnation had already pinched the brim of his hat and turned to stride away.

She chased after him but before she had taken two steps, Jack had already vanished without a trace.

She stomped her feet in frustration, cursing under her breath.

Chen Lun’s real body had already found a tiny clue about Carmen through Divination in the Immortal Realm. He planned to have the Deception Incarnation visit the depths of the Spirit World to search the end of darkness. There was no spare time to waste here with this little fangirl.

’Hope it yields some fruit...’ he thought as he navigated through the Spirit World, his gaze profound.
