With the appearance of the female ghost, the Brain Eater also sensed the arrival of death. It frantically waved its tentacles, as if they were long whips striking in all directions. Attempting to drive away these terrible spirits, this indeed had some effect to a certain extent. As a lower-level creature, the Brain Eaters tentacles themselves also possessed magical powers, and although the female ghost summoned by Zhan was a silver-tier elite, even if she were to be struck once, it would still consume quite a bit of energy.

  After all, monsters of the spiritual system are most afraid of magical attacks.

  However, the female demons did not intend to retreat. On the contrary, they dodged the Soul Devourers attacks while taking advantage of the opportunity to rush forward and bite its brain from time to time. This war of attrition was clearly very beneficial for the female demons, after all, the Soul Devourer was a living creature, if it continued to be invaded by death, it would inevitably weaken and eventually die.

  At this moment, Zhan is not idle either. He carefully observes the Food Brain Demon, waiting for an opportunity to give it a fatal blow. At the same time, under Ennoias cover, he dances with those awakened Terror Claws. This does not mean that Zhan does not want a quick battle, but rather that there are gains and losses. Although Zhan can modify his spells to some extent according to his own ideas, it is not without cost - forcibly manipulating and changing spells will increase the spells cooldown time by three times, which is also a small flaw.

  And previously, in order to ensure that he could hit the Brain Eater, Zhan En had no choice but to change the trajectory of Flame Snake, which instantly greatly extended the cooldown time of his spell. For now, it seems that more than a minute is still needed before he can use this spell again.

  If we can establish a library, we can also study more spells to use...

  While dodging the attacks of the terror claws, Zhan En even had time to think about this seemingly unrelated problem. Just then, he keenly caught a series of urgent footsteps behind him.

  Without looking back, Zann could be certain that it was indeed Verna and her mercenaries who were approaching. And indeed they were; after a brief flurry of footsteps, the mercenaries hurried over, including Verna, looking rather disheveled from their recent battle with the manipulated gray dwarves. Even Verna had lost some of her previous flair, and the dark elf seemed to have taken a small hit as well, judging by the bloodstains on her body.

  "What kind of monster is this!! The stone is on top!"

  Seeing this terrifying giant in front of them, many mercenaries were shocked, and Verenas face also changed greatly.

  "Damn it, its a Brain Eater! Scatter, draw your crossbows!!"

  As a half-dark elf, Verna had once seen this terrifying creature in the Dark Elf Matriarchs place and knew how formidable it was. The dark elves would always throw those useless slaves and people who broke taboos into the arena, then watch with a relaxed and pleasant expression as the Brain Eater cracked open their skulls, savoring the wonderful scene of sucking out brain marrow amidst the slaves painful struggles and mournful cries.

  But when it becomes its own enemy, the scene is no longer beautiful at all.

  Verna reacted quickly, but not everyones reaction could be as fast as hers. The Food Brain naturally had already seen these guys who dared to invade its own territory. Compared to Jian and Enno, this kind of troublesome goods, these new invaders were obviously easier to deal with, so it suddenly opened its mouth and let out a loud roar.

  The loud sound waves reverberated in the empty space, and except for Zhan and Enuo who were prepared for this, everyone else was stunned by the sound. The loud voice was like a heavy hammer that heavily hit the mercenaries who had just experienced a fierce battle, and even several seriously injured ones rolled their eyes and almost fainted.

  At the same time, the tentacles of the Brain Eater suddenly grew violently and quickly cut through the air towards the mercenaries in front. The mercenaries who were still dizzy from the sonic boom didnt even have time to resist before being grabbed by the Brain Eaters tentacles. Immediately afterwards, the tip of the tentacle wrapped around the mercenarys neck like a snake, and stabbed into the back of their head with force.

  Then, accompanied by a series of gasps and inhalations, the mercenary who was originally still dazed and confused suddenly dropped his hands and feet like a wooden puppet with its strings cut, and no longer reacted.

  In less than a minute, four or five mercenaries fell victim to this toxic attack, and the Brain Eater, which had absorbed their brain matter, seemed to have replenished its energy. It violently swung its tentacles, slamming the corpses into other people who were still dazed and hadnt reacted yet. Then it forcibly drove away the female demons that approached again. After letting out a strange cry, its entire body suddenly contracted like an octopus in the deep sea, and it swiftly escaped to the other side of the cave.

  It has to be admitted that the Brain Eaters consumption of so many brains wasnt in vain. It seized a very good opportunity, and the newly arrived mercenaries provided it with enough nutrients to make up for the exhaustion and pain caused by Zhan and the female demon. Amidst the sonic boom, almost everyone was stunned. The Brain Eater knew that if it didnt take advantage of this chance to escape, it might not have to look forward to its next sumptuous lunch.

  Unfortunately, not everyone will be deceived by the food brain demon.

  "Bang!!"

  A whip shining with lightning-like brilliance drew an arc through the air, tightly wrapping around one of the Brain Eaters tentacles. As an undead creature, Enyo didnt need to use her ears to "hear" sounds and naturally wouldnt be affected by sonic booms. So when she saw the Brain Eater trying to make a run for it, she immediately took action.

  Although Enyo appears to be a delicate and slender girl on the surface, it is wisest never to measure their power by their appearance when it comes to undead creatures.

  In terms of physique, the difference between the Devourer and Enyo was no different from that between an elephant and a small cat, but the powerful strength of the undead creature still ruthlessly pulled the Devourer back. In the instant when it was entwined by the Thunder Whip, the Devourers massive body trembled slightly, and then its speed immediately slowed down.

  But for Zhan En, this moment was enough.

  He stretched out his right hand again, and a mysterious symbol flashed through the void. Soon, dazzling lightning burst forth from Zhans hands once more. They swirled around to form a prison, trapping the Devouring Demon firmly within.

  If it were any other creature, the pain brought by lightning would be enough to kill it. But for the Devourer of Brains, the lightning before it was just a minor inconvenience, and it charged against the prison of lightning with all its might, trying to escape from here.

  It was also because of this that the Food Brain Demon did not notice the strange change on top of its head.

  A deafening current burst forth once more, and a dazzling white radiance spread rapidly along the ceiling like a tiny stream, striking heavily against the hanging stalactites. For a moment sparks flew everywhere, shattered rocks and soil scattered and danced in the air, and a huge crevice rapidly expanded at the top of the stalactite column.

  The next moment, the massive stone pillar thundered and trembled, accompanied by a huge crack that appeared on the top of the underground dome. A stalactite pillar as high as four or five floors collapsed and fell straight down, following the direction of gravity, and smashed towards the Devouring Brain Demon.

  At this moment, the food brain demon was unable to escape, perhaps it didnt even react in time to realize what had happened. Its massive body was pierced by a sharp stone pillar and then completely buried along with the rubble.

  "Cough... cough... I should have studied a defensive shield..."

  Coughing, Zhan En fanned away the dust in front of him. At this moment, he was also covered in dust and dirt, although he hadnt been directly affected, but the flying dust and debris were enough to make ones head spin.

  "Master, are you alright? Are you injured?"

  At this moment, Enya also rushed over from the other side, looking at her master with a concerned gaze. Sensing Enyas gaze, Zhan En waved his hand.

  "No, Im fine, but it seems like a bath is unavoidable after getting back. How about you..."

  As he spoke, Zhan En glanced at Enoyas right hand. There, the blood had stained her black sleeve red, and it was clear that Enoyas right hand was longer than her left by a segment. Without needing to look closely, Zhan En could imagine the scene of the girls elbow joint being torn apart by a massive force.

  "How is your injury?"

  "Its just a minor injury, it can be fixed once I get back."

  "Thats good."

  Upon hearing Enyas nonchalant response, Zane nodded. He then reached out and gently stroked Enyas long hair. Feeling Zanes touch, Enya happily narrowed her eyes, but soon her bright red eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.

  "What should we do with these useless things, master?"

  At this moment, all around were corpses. In addition to the mercenaries who died from being attacked by the Brain Eater, the Terror Claws it had manipulated also accompanied it in death after its demise. Only Verna and a few half-beastman mercenaries remained there, barely clinging to life.

  However, their situation is not optimistic either. Except for Verna, the others are all battered and bleeding from being hit by rocks. It seems that they are counting down to death in seconds. As for the unlucky dark elf, he is also buried under a large rock with half of his body visible, looking like hes half dead.

  Zhan En stretched out his hand and pushed his glasses up, then the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a hint of a smile.

  "This is the compensation I deserve, so Ill take it without hesitation... Just right, let me conduct an experiment."

  As he spoke, Zhan En walked up to the unconscious Dark Elf and stretched out his right hand, making a downward motion as if pressing something down.

  As Zane moved, a strange, twisted crimson symbol suddenly appeared out of thin air, and then it dissipated into a faint mist that was slowly absorbed by the dark elf. Zane watched this scene with great interest until the gas was completely absorbed by Verna, at which point he nodded in satisfaction, stood up, and looked around him.

  "Next, let me see your true strength."

  One side muttered to himself, Zhan En snapped his fingers on the other side.

  Soon, the female demons reappeared. They gazed at the few struggling to survive on the ground, but with one foot already stepping into the Ghost Gate, an extremely excited flame burned in their pitch-black eyes. Before long, three female demons arrived beside those half-beasts, surrounding the hapless eggs and letting out ear-piercing screams that terrified the living.

  At the moment when the female demons icy hands touched the half-beastman, the mercenarys faint heartbeat also stopped.
