Chapter 1683 It Was Easy For Hard Mission
Chapter 1683 It Was Easy For Hard Mission
The mission was quite troublesome because they had to investigate whether it was an accident or someone summoned the void creature. It would be easier if they just needed to track and kill it.
"I am good at killing and hunting, but investigating is not my forte. So how do we start?"
Tang Shaoyang did not bother to reveal that he was not good at investigating stuff. He did not have the skill or experience for an investigation like this.
"You are quite honest for a team captain."
That was Anne's first remark. She expected that a team captain should never show their weakness to their team members to keep their image good. That was how a team captain gained the respect and trust of his team members.
"That's not bad. At least, better than a team captain who thought they could do everything which ended up endangering the team."
Ira responded to Tang Shaoyang. She was quite daring for an Admin Helper, but no one looked down on her because Tang Shaoyang trusted her.
"I never said it was bad or anything," Anne was the only one who dared to respond to it in front of Tang Shaoyang, "We can start investigating the cause once we catch the void creature first before it could destroy more areas."
Tang Shaoyang did not care about the banter. He wanted to finish the mission as quickly as possible. Through his Chaos Eyes, he could tell that remnant energy was stronger to the south. Meaning, the void creature was going that way as it destroyed everything it saw.
"I think I know where to find that thing!"
Tang Shaoyang did not say anything as he rushed toward the south. There was no discussion as he just went to the south, not even telling them why he thought the void creature was to the south.
Castor was the first one to follow him with no words, followed by his Admin Helpers.
"She doesn't seem to like you, but why do you let her join the team?"
He could not help but ask Tang Shaoyang. He did not think it was good to make such remarks in front of the other team members like that. That would lower the team captain's dignity. At least, that was what he thought.
"Do you think so?" Tang Shaoyang responded half-heartedly, not taking it seriously, "She was just being honest. It's fine. As long as she is useful, that's it."
Following Tang Shaoyang, soon they heard the sound of battle. The black smoke billowed in front of them, and the scream resonated in the forest.
Tang Shaoyang used his Dragon Transformation and picked up his pace. He did not say anything to Castor and picked up his pace. In an instant, his figure disappeared, leaving Castor and the others behind.
He soon arrived at the village. The wooden gate was breached and burned. Dozens of burnt corpses were on the ground. The corpses had weapons on the side, whether it was a spear or a sword. There was a sign of fighting back, but clearly, these people were not a match for the void creature.
He entered the village and found the void creature. It was quite easy since the void creature did not try to hide. It was in the middle of the village, capturing the women.
The void creature was something like a slime, purple in color. Right at the center of the slime was a man, laughing maniacally as the slime hand captured the women. The women were safe inside the slime. The slime could short part of its body and burn anything that touched it.
A young man in his early twenties, with a burning mark on half of his face, laughing maniacally inside the slime. Through the detection, the young man and the slime were a different entity. They were not one.
The slime was the void creature, and the man was a normal human. Tang Shaoyang did not waste his time and cut the slime hand that captured the woman. As it got separated from the main, the slime burst into slimy liquid to the ground.
The young man stopped laughing and looked at Tang Shaoyang, "Who are you!?" He did not wait for an answer as a slime hand shot toward Tang Shaoyang.
Tang Shaoyang purposely did not dodge the slime, letting himself get caught. As soon as the slime hand touched his body, it broke into a slimy liquid. The slime could not maintain its form near Tang Shaoyang because of Absolute Domination Energy.
A creature like this one usually had a core. Looking at it with his Chaos Eyes, he could not find the core. The void slime kept attacking him, but it was futile.
"Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!" The young man kept using his slime to attack. It shot the burning slimes and kept going.
Tang Shaoyang then scanned the young man's body and found the core. The black core was the size of his thumb. It was located in the young man's brain.
His figure blurred and caught the young man's neck. At the same time, the slime could not maintain its body and fell apart into slimy liquid.
"Did you summon the void creature?"
The mission would be easier since he could find this young man right next to the void creature. Next, he just needed to interrogate the young man. He was good at torture.
Using Chaos Touch, the young man writhed fiercely, in pain as he screamed. His voice filled the village. Even though the villagers were afraid, they still wanted to see it. Some of them even smiled looking at the young man's suffering.
"Did you summon the void creature or did someone else summon it for you?"
Tang Shaoyang repeated the question.
The young man looked down at Tang Shaoyang with sweat, tears, and snot covering his face. Despite the pain, he did not relent. He spat at Tang Shaoyang. Of course, the spit evaporated before it touched Tang Shaoyang.
"Why do you choose the hard way?"
Tang Shaoyang shook his head and amplified Chaos Touch. Not just the body, but the head as well.
The young man screamed again, struggling fiercely but to no avail. He felt like his brain was being squished, his organ was pounded, and his bones were crushed.
"I speak! I will speak! Please stop!"
