Chapter 557 Intentionally Infecting the Spirit-Eating Beast: The Plan is to Raise Gu
Thanks to Liu Qingqing's superb medical skills, those professionals who were originally seriously injured and on the verge of death gradually recovered.
The severed limbs were miraculously repaired, and the lost vitality gradually returned under Liu Qingqing's treatment.
In less than an hour, these professionals stood up again, as if they had been reborn, and once again showed their vitality and fighting spirit.
However, those innocent people who were casually killed by the Dark Lord lost their lives forever. Their bodies lay there quietly, never to awaken again.
Hong Jishi will arrange for people to properly handle the funeral arrangements for these deceased, giving them the respect and peace they deserve. Jiang Chen watched this scene and couldn't help but think of those lost resurrection techniques, "In ancient times, perhaps these people could still have a chance to be reborn."
His expression was slightly solemn, which led Liu Qingqing to mistakenly believe that he was grieving for the dead.
Liu Qingqing gently comforted him, "Xiao Chen, you don't need to be too sad. We will handle their funeral arrangements properly and let them rest in peace."
Jiang Chen understood Liu Qingqing's misunderstanding, but he didn't explain further. He did feel sorry and saddened for the deceased, but the emotion wasn't intense.
His heart was filled with hatred and rage towards the demons. Given the chance, he would surely step into the abyss again to exact a more ferocious revenge on those demons, making them pay a heavy price for their actions.
Even on the day his strength was sufficient, Jiang Chen held a firm belief in his heart—he would destroy the entire Abyss and completely exterminate the demon race. This was a vow that had been rooted in Jiang Chen's heart since childhood.
Hong Jishi acted swiftly, gathering manpower to begin implementing the grand plan devised by Li Xueru.
This plan is unprecedented in scale, far exceeding any previous one.
Under Hong Jishi's command, the army of the Divine Dragon Empire surged forward like a tide and began a tense operation.
Jiang Chen knew that this operation would involve countless lives, and many people might lose their lives as a result.
But before the operation began, Hong Ki-seok had explained the situation to everyone and given them the opportunity to choose.
Those who do not wish to participate can choose to withdraw, but once they choose to join, they must be prepared to become suicide soldiers, having long since disregarded life and death.
Of course, Hong Ki-seok also promised that all those who participated in the mission would receive the rewards and honors they deserved.
Jiang Chen continued to focus on his task—running dungeons. This was his top priority; he needed to constantly improve his strength to play a greater role in future battles.
During his previous meeting with Li Xueru, Li Xueru had recharged his cooling amulet, which gave Jiang Chen enough confidence to reach level 60 in the coming period.
……
Hong Jishi acted with extraordinary speed. Just two days later, a large force gathered outside the secret realm where the spirit-eating beasts were hidden.
The crowd was a dense, overwhelming mass, numbering at least tens of thousands.
And this is just the vanguard; more people are continuously arriving from behind.
Among these people were soldiers as well as experts from various powerful families.
They were all aware of what they were about to face, but they did not back down; instead, they became even more determined.
Hong Jishi stood outside the secret gate and said in a loud voice, "You all know the challenges you are about to face, right?"
"clear!"
Everyone shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and the earth.
Hong Jishi nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. Some of you may have to sacrifice yourselves, but I cannot guarantee that everyone will come back alive."
"But I can assure you that even if you unfortunately sacrifice yourselves, your families and your people will be incredibly proud of the choice you made today."
"This is a momentous opportunity for our human race. We missed it once a thousand years ago, but today, we must seize this opportunity firmly!"
"This is the moment of our human race's rise, the crucial moment for the rise of our Divine Dragon Empire!"
Hong Ki-seok's words inspired everyone; their eyes shone with determination as they prepared to meet the challenges ahead with high morale.
Beyond the secret realm, on the vast land, countless tents sprang up like mushrooms after rain, forming a massive military camp.
This camp is large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, and it stretches as far as the eye can see, seemingly without end.
This camp was built specifically for this project, and its existence symbolizes the military's determination and speed of action.
Meanwhile, a large number of therapists are ready, and medical supplies and food are readily available.
Once the military takes action, it is as swift and ruthless as a storm.
With all preparations complete, Hong Jishi gave the order, and tens of thousands of people surged into the secret realm like a tidal wave.
The once quiet secret place suddenly became bustling and lively with the influx of people.
Surrounding Hong Jishi were several patriarchs of various families and high-ranking military officials, all of whom were staring intently ahead.
Lin Zhenzi, Yi Qianjue, Feng Anzai, and others were among them, their faces showing a hint of trepidation and unease.
Lin Zhenzi asked in a low voice, "Old Hong, are you sure there won't be any problems with this plan?"
Although they had all agreed to participate in the project, a lingering doubt remained in their hearts.
Hong Jishi took a deep breath and said firmly, "This is a plan that Lao Li has carefully devised. You may not believe me, but you can't not believe him, can you?"
Yi Qianjue then asked, "Where is Old Li now?"
Hong Jishi shook his head and said, "He has more important things to do. We just need to follow the plan and do what we're supposed to do." He paused, then continued, "If you want to go further and gain a higher position among humans, this is the best opportunity. If you miss this chance, you may never have another one."
Upon hearing Hong Jishi's words, the group fell silent. They knew the importance of this plan and understood the responsibility they bore.
They then followed Hong Ki-seok into the secret realm. The realm was already filled with people, lined up neatly, awaiting Hong Ki-seok's next instructions.
Hong Jishi stood before the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Get ready, I'm about to begin!"
Everyone held their breath; their preparation was to remain still and not make any movement of resistance.
These people were of varying levels, but without exception, none of them exceeded level 70. According to Li Xueru's plan, this level range was the most suitable. Hong Jishi suddenly threw a punch, the immense force instantly piercing the ground and shattering the final barrier between the spirit-eating beast and the secret realm.
Not just one place, but hundreds of places were broken at the same time.
A gust of wind howled out, and a large number of spirit-eating beasts flew out from the ground. Their faces were ferocious, and they looked extremely terrifying. These spirit-eating beasts roared in the secret realm, searching for their next target.
"Activate soul detection, stay calm, do not resist!" Hong Jishi's voice was firm and powerful, echoing in everyone's ears.
At his command, everyone simultaneously cast detection spells. The subtle fluctuations generated by the detection spells permeated the air, establishing an indescribable connection with the wandering spirit-eating beasts.
The spirit-eating beasts seemed to have found their target; they silently burrowed into the depths of people's souls along this special soul passage.
Some people trembled slightly, but then regained their composure as if nothing had happened. However, the next second, screams of terror rose and fell as they felt their strength rapidly draining away, their limbs as if their life force had been drained, and they began to wither away.
Many people quickly became lethargic, pale, and unusually weak. But strangely, they did not feel any pain.
The abilities of spirit-eating beasts are indeed terrifying. They can devour souls and any energy they can consume without a sound, and the victims will not feel any pain.
Hong Jishi's gaze was fixed on everything before him. He discovered that the number of spirit-eating beasts far exceeded his expectations. Some people were even possessed by more than one spirit-eating beast, some even possessed by two or three.
"Fortunately, Lao Li's plan was well-prepared." Hong Jishi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "There are 30,000 people here, and more are on their way."
"Adding to the people who were already infected by the Spirit-Eating Beasts, and the number of Spirit-Eating Beasts that have split off during this period, we will then have hundreds of thousands or even millions of Spirit-Eating Beasts in our hands."
Lin Zhenzi also said in a deep voice, "I hope Lao Li's plan will succeed."
Feng Anzai also chimed in softly, "We must succeed, or we will truly become sinners for all time."
Hong Jishi clenched his fists, his eyes revealing determination: "We must succeed! I have no doubt about Lao Li's wisdom."
His long-standing tacit understanding and trust with Li Xueru gave him great confidence in this plan. He could sense Li Xueru's anger and determination, his strong desire to change the status quo and turn the tide.
When no more new spirit-eating beasts appeared, Hong Jishi shouted, "Everyone, leave the secret realm immediately and proceed according to the pre-arranged plan!"
Under Hong Jishi's orders, people quickly and orderly left the secret area. The soldiers, in particular, demonstrated exceptional discipline and execution, evacuating the site in a neat and orderly fashion.
They stepped into the pre-designated encampment.
A large number of therapists are ready and waiting to begin using their skills to treat those who have suffered significant trauma.
Healing techniques contain the power of life, a power that spirit-eating beasts also cherish.
Continuously using healing techniques can nourish spirit-eating beasts and make them docile.
Under such conditions, the spirit-eating beast will not choose to kill its host, but will choose to parasitize it for a long time.
However, there are also some spirit-eating beasts with bad tempers among them, which requires a more powerful healer to deal with them.
Hong Jishi turned to Liu Qingqing and said, "You'll have to work hard again this time."
Liu Qingqing smiled and replied, "There's no need for thanks between us. I've already gathered the most outstanding healers in the family, and I'm sure everything will go smoothly."
As a god-level healer, Liu Qingqing's abilities are enough to withstand the power of multiple people.
She was also a core pillar of the healing team. Hong Jishi watched as everything proceeded smoothly and according to plan, silently pondering Li Xueru's strategy.
In short, this strategy is "raising a treacherous insect"!
