Gao Yuan carefully examined the entire bloodflesh mother nest: "Nothing feels right here. Could it be a big shot with Light Element Root Bone?"
Zhao Ying waved his hand to deny: "There are only five super big shots with Light Element Root Bone, and they’re all stuck in the interstellar battlefield, unable to break free."
Gao Yuan: "Could it be that the Nightmare Vengeful Mother sensed we were going to forcefully kill her, so she fled in advance?"
"No, no, no, even if she ran away, she should have left some pollution behind. But now the situation is, in the underground tunnel, there’s not a trace of the Nightmare Vengeful Mother’s pollution, as if she vanished into thin air..."
While the two were puzzled, Huang Liang noticed a few pieces of shredded paper on the ground. He picked up three or four scraps: "Take a look, what do you think these are?"
The three of them put their heads together to study: "Not sure, there are special energy fluctuations on the paper, as if they’re part of some spiritual artifact."
Huang Liang glanced up, sweeping across the bloodflesh mother nest: "I speculate that a batch of spiritual artifacts fought the Nightmare Vengeful Mother here, ultimately shattering, and the Nightmare Vengeful Mother’s whereabouts are unknown..."
Zhao Ying: "Huh?"
Gao Yuan: "Huh?"
"Did a battle take place?"
"We didn’t feel a thing."
"If a battle took place, shouldn’t there be an energy fluctuation? The Nightmare Vengeful Mother isn’t an ordinary character; even if we were to go all out, the explosion would echo for several kilometers around. It would be like a missile going off."
Zhao Ying and Gao Yuan were baffled, faces full of confusion.
They couldn’t imagine what exactly happened underground.
How could it cause the seemingly advantageous Nightmare Vengeful Mother to suddenly disappear without leaving a trace of pollution...
Huang Liang frowned slightly: "I’ll ask Brother Ping. Brother Ping must know something. He was being all mysterious just now, surely keeping something from us."
As he spoke, Huang Liang pressed on the communication device: "Brother Ping, we’ve arrived underground, where the Nightmare Vengeful Mother is hiding."
Ye Ping: "So, did you slay the Nightmare Vengeful Mother? You have nothing to worry about now, just quickly and decisively kill the Nightmare Vengeful Mother, it should be very simple for you."
Huang Liang was silent for a moment.
"No, no, Brother Ping, we’ve come to the underground nest and found it empty, the Nightmare Vengeful Mother is nowhere to be seen, not even a trace of pollution left... what’s going on?"
Ye Ping spread his hands: "...You’re asking me? I’ve been up the mountain stalemating with the Nightmare Vengeful Mother, I don’t know what’s happening underground."
Zhao Ying suddenly spoke: "Brother Ping, did you secretly hire a Godslaying Squad? This is definitely the Nightmare Vengeful Mother’s bloodflesh nest, yet there’s no pollution."
Ye Ping was surprised: "Huh? Godslaying Squad? I didn’t hire any Godslaying Squad. The interstellar battlefield is in a stalemate, they can’t spare any personnel..."
"Wait... what did you say? Not a trace of pollution left? Impossible."
Hearing Ye Ping’s shock, the trio was speechless: "So even you don’t know what happened?"
Ye Ping: "..."
He seemed to know something, yet knew nothing at all.
It was probably Xiao Ran’s handiwork, but as to how he did it, Ye Ping had no idea...
Ye Ping hesitated to believe: "Are you speaking the truth, has the Nightmare Vengeful Mother died? And without leaving a trace of pollution."
Huang Liang nodded: "Based on the on-site analysis, the Nightmare Vengeful Mother is most likely dead, thoroughly dead, cleanly dead."
Hearing this, Ye Ping took a deep breath: "To tell you the truth, I don’t know... If you’re curious, come to the kindergarten later to see if you can find out the slaying method... By the way, I asked you to look out for an invisible child, have you encountered him?"
The three shook their heads in confusion: "No, we haven’t seen the invisible child."
Huang Liang suddenly sensed something amiss: "No, invisibility? What kind of heaven-defying Root Bone is this?!"
Ye Ping didn’t have time to reply, he suddenly became worried: "You haven’t seen him? Could there be danger? Quickly use your spiritual power to carefully search!"
Ye Ping couldn’t help but worry, although the Nightmare Vengeful Mother was resolved, what if Xu Ran encountered danger, or perished together...
The loss would be too great.
"However, Xiao Ran’s ability is so special, it shouldn’t be a problem."
Ye Ping exhaled deeply, just when he was about to speak, the phone rang frantically. He took a glance and relaxed.
The call was from Xu Ran.
On the other end of the phone, Xu Ran stood alone, solitary, on a high building. Above him was a precariously hanging red moon, the night wind brushing through his hair, turning it into a swept-back style. His handsome features were not so chiseled, appearing very young.
He had just retrieved his stored smart watch from the stairs.
"Hey, Uncle Ye, task completed. I’m heading back to the kindergarten now."
Ye Ping concernedly asked: "Are you hurt?!"
Xu Ran gave a faint smile: "No. Thanks to the Nightmare Vengeful Mother’s ability, which is naturally countered by me, otherwise I couldn’t have dealt with it. Ha."
Ye Ping breathed a sigh of relief: "You soloed the Nightmare Vengeful Mother? And removed all the Nightmare Vengeful Mother’s pollution?"
Xu Ran said coldly: "Of course, sent Buddha all the way west. A one-stop service, in case it rises from the ashes."
Ye Ping: "..."
"Amazing! Hurry back! Your mom and the principal are very worried about you."
Xu Ran felt a warm feeling inside: "Alright, I’m on my way back. You go ahead and share the good news with them."
Ye Ping: "Okay!"
...
On the other end of the communicator.
Huang Liang, Zhao Ying, and Gao Yuan looked completely bewildered: "...?????"
What did they just hear? A childish voice of a kid?
"Wait, Brother Ping, what’s going on? This mysterious big shot who slew the Nightmare Vengeful Mother is a child? A return-to-youth Root Bone?"
Ye Ping shook his head and chuckled: "No, no, no, just a super genius with a unique Comprehension Root Bone, an immensely powerful ability."
