"Earth Net! Rise!"
As Qicai Dan and the others raised their hands, the ghostly energy lingering at their fingertips shot out.
Drilling into the ground.
Instantly, streaks of golden light flashed across the ground of the villa area.
A golden line appeared, and another golden line immediately disappeared.
Finally, where the golden lines had passed, a fine net quickly spread out.
Under the control of Qicai Dan and the others, the fine net seemed to come alive.
It wrapped around the ghost-transformed giant infant from head to toe.
Shrinking, shrinking, until the giant infant was squeezed into a ball by the fine net.
Seeing this, Xu Nan opened his mouth and uttered a word:
"Explode!"
Bang!
Without giving the giant infant any chance to struggle, the fine net instantly exploded.
"Ahhh—" the giant infant screamed in pain.
Many severed limbs scattered with the explosion.
Xu Nan and Qicai Dan's heads buzzed.
The machine ball paused, then nimbly raised its hand and replaced a part in its head.
It returned to its original state, its actions unaffected.
"It hurts! It hurts!"
The ghost infants that formed the giant infant cried out.
As the smoke from the explosion dissipated, the giant infant stood up unsteadily, its limbs all suffering different blast injuries.
"Wuwuwu—"
All the surrounding Yin energy was absorbed by the giant infant.
The blown-off parts flew back at a visible speed.
The machine ball glanced at the slightly slower Qicai Dan and Xu Nan, then took out a stick and threw it at the giant infant.
When the giant infant looked over, it threw another small bomb it had developed.
Bang!
The bomb left a marble-sized pit on the giant infant, almost negligible.
However, it successfully attracted its attention.
"You're bullying me!"
"It's bullying us!"
The ghost infants on the giant infant shouted, their eyes turning red with anger.
They stomped their feet and ran towards the machine ball, swinging a palm down.
The machine ball nimbly dodged the palm and continued according to plan.
It kept throwing small bombs at the giant infant while luring it towards the trap.
Afterward, Xu Nan and Qicai Dan followed a step behind.
...
...
In the live stream, the bullet comment section became empty.
All the viewers subconsciously slowed their breathing, watching the battle footage with rapt attention.
All along, because Jiang Lin was powerful, and the tasks chosen by Qicai Dan and the others were always just right with no risk.
When dealing with ghosts, they mostly completed them smoothly.
The viewers even had a subconscious misconception:
Ghosts don't seem that powerful.
They only pose a threat to humans.
It was only today that they realized the underworld wasn't as they imagined.
Comfortable, harmonious, and leisurely.
Reality often involves killing and casualties.
The underworld also has a cruel side.
On this day, the human viewers seemed to have recognized the "Daily Healing in the Underworld" live stream for the first time.
And the underworld for the first time.
...
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
As trap after trap was used, the giant infant realized something.
Just as it was about to turn to avoid a trap, Xu Nan flipped his wrist, and the ghost artifact, Earth Dragon, appeared in his hand.
The black chain was directly thrown out, coiling around the giant infant's neck.
Pull, tug.
The giant infant was directly thrown onto a trap.
Instantly, countless ghost energy vines flew out from the trap, piercing the giant infant's body.
"Ahhh—"
The giant infant screamed in pain, "Mom, Mom!"
Buzz buzz—
Xu Nan's head ached again, and blood seemed to flow from his ears.
Before he could react, a giant infant palm swung at him.
His vision went black, and he was sent flying.
His head was dizzy.
On the other side, after dodging a couple of times, the machine ball was also sent flying.
"Roar—"
The giantified Qicai Dan quickly caught them, and its giant green dragon head roared at the giant infant.
"Mom. Mom..."
Suffering from intense pain, with its mind filled only with "pain" and "Mom," the giant infant shook its head, its hands swinging like a blur.
It was as if countless hands had appeared out of nowhere, swinging around it without pattern, resisting.
"Mom, Mom!"
As the giant infant cried, those semi-transparent giant hands reappeared from below.
It must not be allowed to recover again!
A thought flashed through Qicai Dan's mind, and it quickly placed the machine ball and Xu Nan safely before rushing forward.
At its eye sockets, two bright yellow eyeballs grew brighter, like two flames burning.
A green light flashed across Qicai Dan's body.
In an instant, it felt countless responses.
All the surrounding green plants became its weapons, turning into sharp objects and flying towards the giant infant.
Either entangling or piercing.
This state was strange; it seemed to be able to sense all living beings.
Some could be controlled and borrowed power from, while others could not be touched.
But this feeling came and went quickly.
It lasted for only about ten seconds before rapidly fading.
But fortunately, those semi-transparent giant hands had dissipated under the fierce assault.
And the giant infant,
At the last moment, was dragged by Qicai Dan into a nearby trap.
The trap was triggered, and a black, circular, enclosed cage immediately appeared, enveloping the giant infant.
"Explode!"
After uttering the word, Qicai Dan felt a void within its body, making even lifting a claw extremely difficult.
Its entire body fell uncontrollably, and its giant form rapidly disappeared.
Bang!
The black cage exploded.
Countless severed limbs splattered out.
Dripping onto the ground.
Drip.
Qicai Dan fell to the ground, its form having reverted to its original small bone dragon.
...
The scene was somewhat bloody.
However, not a single viewer in the live stream cried out in fear.
"Egg Lord is mighty! So cool!"
"Are those ghost infants... dead? Were the semi-transparent giant hands formed by their 'mothers'?"
"!!! Why is Egg Lord just a pile of bones?!"
Besides caring about the battle, the viewers also cared about the three lying on the ground.
Seeing Qicai Dan turn back into a bone dragon, they were shocked.
Had its physical body been digested due to overuse of power?!
Or had it been eaten by the giant infant when they couldn't see it?!
What happened?!
How, how,
How were they supposed to report this to the streamer?!
...
While the viewers were stunned, on the ground of the villa area—
The machine ball was dizzily replacing its own parts, almost going on strike.
Xu Nan weakly opened his eyes, with injuries on his face, ears, and body.
Judging by his appearance, he seemed unable to even move.
Qicai Dan could still move a little, but after flying a couple of steps, it had to rest.
It simply stopped moving, sprawling out on the ground like a starfish.
As far as its gaze could reach, the sky had returned to a clear blue.
Golden sunlight reappeared on the ground of the villa area.
This was the first time it had fought so hard.
But it was also the first time it had prepared so seriously for battle and wanted victory so much.
So this was what the human sky looked like, so blue.
...
Qicai Dan relaxed, but the viewers in the live stream suddenly focused their gaze.
Their entire bodies instantly became vigilant.
"Egg Lord, run!"
"Run!"
In the bullet comment section, reminder after reminder flew by.
...
