Chapter 136 – Mole Rat

While following the [Nightfiend], Su Hao constructed a new ‘Earth Spikes’ Rune within the Pinball Space.

Little did Su Hao know, the [Nightfiend] underground was being driven mad by his relentless pursuit.

[Nightfiend] Lynn found himself in the same predicament as An—unable to escape, unable to fight.

“Why can this bone man pinpoint my location?”

No matter how many times Nightfiend changed direction, through his ‘Subsonic Wave’ Positioning and ‘Life Detection’ skills, Perception indicated that Su Hao had not left, remaining directly above him.

He was likely devising a plan to eliminate him.

The thought sent [Nightfiend] into a frenzy.

After much deliberation, like An, he believed Su Hao had planted something on him for positioning. Thus, he stripped off all his clothes, changed direction again, and burrowed away.

To his despair, the bone man remained steadfastly above him, as if on a leisurely stroll.

“What should I do?”

Soon, [Nightfiend] wouldn’t need to ponder this question, as Su Hao’s new Rune was complete and entering its testing phase, with the underground [Nightfiend] as the obvious subject.

Su Hao spread his palm, and a cup-sized bone Drill Bit began to form in his palm. It was conical in shape, with a surface like a screw, wrapped in spirals.

Then, Su Hao carved two Runes onto this bone Drill Bit: one was ‘Rotation,’ providing immense rotational force, and the other was ‘Earth Spikes.’

Su Hao’s plan was simple: let the Drill Bit bore down automatically, and once it reached a certain position, activate ‘Earth Spikes’ to attack the enemy.

A perfect offensive maneuver.

He called the finished Drill Bit a ‘Drill Mole.’

Su Hao slowly channeled his Blood Qi, activating the Drill Mole in his hand. It immediately began to rotate rapidly, emitting a humming sound.

He threw it onto the ground.

If he had shouted “Go! Drill Mole!” at this moment, the manga-like feel would have been overwhelming.

Su Hao smiled knowingly, Perception the [Nightfiend] underground, his eyes still cold.

As soon as the Drill Bit hit the ground, it swiftly ‘whooshed’ and burrowed underground, disappearing. As the soil flew, a hole appeared.

The Drill Rat contained Su Hao’s Blood Qi, and Su Hao could still perceive the Drill Rat’s location.

As the Drill Rat burrowed deeper and deeper, deviating further and further from its target, it was originally drilling straight down, but after hitting some pebbles midway, its direction became uncontrollable.

Finally, the Drill Rat detonated about twenty meters away from its destination.

The range of the ‘Earth Spikes’ Rune was precisely a circle with a radius of about twenty meters.

“Pfft pfft pfft!”

A muffled sound came from underground, making [Nightfiend]’s heart pound. Just as he stopped, wanting to listen carefully to what the sound was.

Pfft!

Two thick earth spikes shot out in front of him, narrowly missing him by two centimeters.

If he had crawled forward one more step, the outcome would have been unimaginable.

This one move completely scared the crap out of [Nightfiend].

His naked body trembled.

Run!

[Nightfiend] turned and ran.

Then he found he couldn’t escape.

If I burrow any deeper, it’s not deep enough! His heart felt uneasy, and he activated his powerful burrowing ability, sinking immediately.

Su Hao perceived [Nightfiend] diving again and muttered in disappointment, ‘As expected, the deviation is too great at this distance. I need to increase the Drill Rat’s controllability.’

Then Su Hao thought of the Murder Demon Jin Da Mo he had killed in the Academy in his previous life. His core Beast Pattern was ‘Manipulation’.

The ‘Manipulation’ Beast Pattern is complex to operate. To activate the Manipulation Rune, it requires two ports: one is the manipulation port, and the other is the manipulation subject. The Runes drawn for the two ports are different, and its application is very complicated, which is not very useful for Su Hao.

The principle of this ‘Manipulation’ Rune is like a remote control for a Harmony drone. The manipulation port is the remote control, and the manipulation subject is the drone.

So, Su Hao entered the Pinball Space again and began designing a plan for a new type of controllable Drill Rat.

A moment later, Su Hao opened his palm and generated another Drill Bit. This Drill Bit was engraved with three Runes: ‘Manipulation’, ‘Rotation’, and ‘Earth Spikes’.

It wasn’t finished yet. Su Hao generated another Domino. This Domino was inscribed with the port Rune of the ‘Manipulation’ Rune, used to control the Drill Bit. Su Hao input Blood Qi, calculated [Nightfiend]’s depth, made some adjustments, and then threw the high-speed rotating Drill Rat onto the ground.

Whoosh!

Mud and stones flew, and the Drill Rat burrowed underground and disappeared.

And Su Hao, using the Domino in his hand, continuously adjusted the Drill Bit’s position, ensuring the general direction remained unchanged.

Soon, the mole arrived next to [Nightfiend].

And [Nightfiend] only heard something rapidly drilling towards him, which scared him out of his wits. He dove down again, paddling with all his might.

He didn’t know what it was, but he perceived danger and just wanted to leave quickly.

He had never encountered such an unsolvable enemy. He had already dug so deep underground, yet it could still chase him.

If it were another [Nightfiend] chasing him, he wouldn’t say anything. The key was that it was a [Bone Demon], a flying [Bone Demon] that could also burrow underground. Can you believe it?

[Nightfiend] was questioning his life at this moment. He had never felt so desperate.

In his perception, the thing drilling towards him slowly stopped, making a soft sound, and then the ground vibrated.

“Pfft pfft pfft!”

A large number of Earth Spikes generated, piercing through the ground in all directions.

“Pfft!”

Three thick Earth Spikes instantly penetrated Nightfiend’s body.

[Nightfiend] suddenly opened his eyes underground, ignoring the pain of dust entering his eyes, and incredulously asked: “How could this be…”

Blood gushed out of his mouth in large quantities, soaking the surrounding land. In his bewildered state, he slowly lost his life.

Until his death, he did not understand how he died. Based on his understanding of various sequence Evolved Humans, there was no possibility of failure… But why?

Su Hao perceived that [Nightfiend] had lost his life and slowly retracted the Domino in his hand.

“This mole is effective!”

Su Hao had compensated for another weakness, which made him exceptionally happy.

From now on, when encountering enemies who can hide underground, he wouldn’t have to worry. Just one mole would be enough to eliminate all troubles. If one wasn’t enough, he’d use two.

If that still wasn’t enough, he’d send out a hundred moles at once, turning the entire underground into a world of Earth Spikes, rendering any fancy footwork useless.

This was the sense of security brought by overwhelming firepower.

Su Hao waited for Yashan and the others to arrive in the Yuan land. Soon, Yashan arrived next to Su Hao and asked, “Boss Wei, we’ve subdued those three Evolved Humans. Are you alright?”

Su Hao said: “I’m fine, I’ve also dealt with the enemy on my side.”

Everyone looked around. Where was the enemy? There wasn’t even any sign of a fight!

But they dared not question anything Su Hao said.

This Boss Wei, in their minds, was at least a Level 6 Evolved Human, treated almost like a deity by them.

The shock they felt when they passed the deep pit created by the bombs was unimaginable.

They could only ask: ‘Who could create such a large pit?’

Even a Level 5 Evolved Human from the [Great Strength Person] sequence, the [Destroyer King], couldn’t do that, right?

Su Hao pointed downwards and said to [Tibetan Beast] Meng Chuan: ‘Meng Chuan, the [Nightfiend] is right below. You already have its flesh and blood for your evolution. Go pull him up!’

Meng Chuan was startled at first, then replied with great joy: ‘Yes, Boss Wei!’

With that, he dove into the ground like a diver.

Then Su Hao said to Yashan: ‘Yashan, wake one up casually, we need to interrogate them properly.’

Yashan responded and went to Big Nose, slapping him with practiced ease.

‘Slap!’

Big Nose slowly woke up.

Upon seeing a group of enemies around him, he was about to beg for mercy.

Yashan immediately slapped him a few times, then stopped and asked: ‘Are you willing to talk properly?’

Big Nose was internally collapsing. He wanted to talk properly from the start!

His snot and tears flowed down together: ‘Please spare me, sirs…’

Yashan raised his hand again. He immediately changed his tune: ‘I’ll talk, I’ll say anything!’

Thank you, brothers and sisters, for your rewards and votes!
