CHAPTER 413: CHAPTER 243 ZOMBIE MONSTER, XILIZAN (TWO-IN-ONE)

Brother Monkey spat out a shell from the sunflower seeds in his mouth and muttered, "Gamma Illusion, so flashy."

Qin Shou stood up and kicked Brother Monkey’s furry tail, "Stop lounging around. Remember to grab that guy’s corpse later. I’ll need it."

"Got it, got it. Don’t worry, stealing stuff is my specialty."

"Alright, I’m off to take care of business."

Qin Shou patted his backside, and the Dark Dragon Transform Card dissolved into black particles that merged with his body.

"Roar..."

A deep dragon roar swept through the mountains, and a pitch-black steel dragon leapt into the nearby stream without causing a single splash.

Under the reflected sunlight, visible to the naked eye, a black dragon shadow raced through the stream at incredible speed, yet the water remained still, as though it wasn’t truly swimming there.

A kind of "Mirror World" in essence.

For the first time, Qin Shou wandered through this illusory yet real Mirror World, experiencing an extraordinarily peculiar sensation.

In this strange blend of illusion and reality, Qin Shou soared and clawed through the vast, boundless skies, feeling as though he were the sole "being" in this realm.

He didn’t feel lonely; his heart was full of boundless anticipation for freedom.

"Roar!!"

In the eerily silent sky, the black dragon shadow soared to the heavens, suddenly diving down, then spiraling upward again.

"Buzz..."

Moments later, the stream flowed into the roaring river at its endpoint, the turbulent waters gushing loudly as the black dragon shadow suddenly burst out from beneath the surface without creating even a ripple.

The shadow spiraled downward and dissolved into countless black particles, reforming into Qin Shou’s human shape.

"That was fun."

Qin Shou chuckled lightly, glancing at the positions of Swordfish Eye and Charming Eyes displayed on the Communicator. He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

It was mealtime—time to eat first.

And so, he sat by the river, letting streams of blue electric Star Power zap into the raging waters. With loud splashes, several plump Fish Beasts were hoisted into the air.

"Hmm... These won’t do; the texture’s mediocre, too many bones, and they smell fishy."

Shaking his head, he returned the big fish into the river and continued fishing.

...

"Huff... puff... huff... puff..."

In the dense forest, Swordfish Eye carried Charming Eyes on his back, sprinting through the woods relentlessly. Despite being completely out of breath, sweat streaming down his forehead, he dared not stop for a moment to rest.

"Swordfish Eye, are you an idiot? We Demon Eye Star People always use Puppets for traveling—who runs like a fool like you? It’s embarrassing!"

Now that Charming Eyes believed she was out of danger, her true nature returned, as she sarcastically berated Swordfish Eye.

"Huff... puff... Miss Charming Eyes, the battlefield is too close. If we use Monster Puppets now, the Drue Star People would definitely notice."

Swordfish Eye explained between labored breaths.

"Please rest assured, Miss Charming Eyes. Once we get further away, we can release the Monster Puppets for faster travel.

Once we return to the Demon Eye Base City, I will ensure we avenge Miss Charming Eyes and kill every last one of those Drue Star People."

Charming Eyes snorted coldly. "Of course! Dare lay a hand on me, my Mother and Father won’t let them off, because we belong to the Six-Eyed Family—a superior existence over the Drue Star People!"

Swordfish Eye quickly seized the opportunity to flatter her: "Absolutely, Miss Charming Eyes! I swear on my life to escort you back to the Demon Eye Base City and make those lowly Drue Star People pay."

"Hmm, Swordfish Eye, although you’re just an ugly Four-eyed Demon, seeing your performance this time, you may serve under me from now on!" Charming Eyes declared.

Swordfish Eye was overjoyed, pledging his loyalty while feeling a surge of renewed energy, as if reborn.

No longer weary, he carried Charming Eyes excitedly and soon arrived at the banks of a roaring river.

"Splash, splash, splash..."

The rushing water sent waves splashing high.

"Miss Charming Eyes, if we travel by water, we might evade the Drue Star People." Swordfish Eye suggested.

Charming Eyes didn’t object but asked, "Do you have a Water Monster Puppet?"

Swordfish Eye: "Uh... no."

"Then why are you talking nonsense? Acting stupid again?"

"Please let me explain, Miss Charming Eyes. While I don’t have a Water Monster Puppet, the Demon Eye Space happens to have a small submarine that should be enough for our escape."

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up..."

Before she could finish, Charming Eyes’ face turned pale as if she’d seen something terrifying.

"Miss Charming Eyes, what’s wrong?"

Swordfish Eye asked, puzzled, instinctively following her gaze.

The next moment, his expression froze, all four eyes wide open, filled with disbelief.

"You, you, you... Liang Yan... You-you-you’re not dead... Impossible, I saw you with my own eyes blown to smithereens!"

He pointed at Qin Shou, who was sitting by the river, holding a grilled fish and devouring it hungrily—his tone an odd mix of excitement and fear.

On the Demon Eye Planet, there were legends of "Ghosts" circulating.

Qin Shou swallowed down a mouthful of fish head, looked at himself, and suddenly slapped his forehead with a laugh.

"Oh, sorry about that. It’s a habit, I made you misunderstand—my bad, my bad."

As he spoke, he reached out with his greasy right hand, hooked the Camera on his waist with a pinky, and pulled out the Four-eyed Card, letting it fly into System Space.

Qin Shou then returned to his true appearance.

"Earth people!"

The two shouted simultaneously, their faces turning grim as they recalled the leaked footage.

"Liang Yan... no, Earth person—was it you who framed us?" Swordfish Eye accused Qin Shou angrily.

A human from Earth capable of perfectly disguising themselves as a Demon Eye Star Person—a truly terrifying skill!

The rumors about Earth’s ambitions seemed far from baseless.

The thought of how many Earth people could flawlessly disguise themselves as Demon Eye Star People sent chills down their spines.
