Amidst the chaos, the fifth monster was assembled.
But the chaos did not decrease; instead, it intensified.
Many people, after receiving the reward, become obsessed with the feeling of being full of power and become more proactive in killing or stealing corpses.
The more human body parts you donate, the greater the reward.
The greater the power, the greater the advantage.
The sixth image resembles a dragon with a long body, five claws, and a pair of horns on its head, though these horns are made up of fingers pieced together.
A rough count suggests that the entire monster would require more than two hundred human body parts to assemble.
Akita Shun and his team also wanted the reward, so they joined the ranks of murderers and corpse robbers.
Their involvement dramatically increased the death toll among ordinary people, but it also sped up the piecing together of the truth.
The entire first-floor lobby was filled with screams, blood, and mutilated corpses.
For a moment, I didn't know if this was the human world or hell.
Xia Tianqiong neither stopped nor joined in, but simply watched indifferently from the sidelines.
In less than ten minutes, the sixth monster was assembled.
This dragon-shaped monster did not stand around the animal skin painting, but walked straight towards it, which was clearly different from the other five monsters.
Xia Tianqiong immediately became alert, unsure of what would happen next.
"Stop! All the monsters have been defeated."
He suddenly shouted, and the chaotic scene finally came to a stop.
Only eighty or ninety people survived, half of whom were women, children, and the elderly, who hid in various corners and managed to escape the disaster.
Their partners are mostly young and middle-aged men who have donated their body parts and received rewards.
Being suddenly stopped at this moment felt like waking up from a dream.
Looking at the blood and corpses scattered everywhere, some people looked horrified, finding it hard to believe that they had done this themselves.
It seems that without realizing it, everyone has become an executioner.
"The monster...the monster moved!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, and all the survivors looked over.
The dragon-shaped monster approached the animal skin painting, raised its claws made of human hands, and grabbed it.
The next moment, the animal skin painting suddenly burst into flames, emitting eerie green fire.
The green flames instantly enveloped the dragon-shaped monster's entire body, and the seams that were originally seeping blood quickly merged and disappeared, as if the wound had healed and grown back into a whole.
When the flames subsided, a smooth, perfect dragon-shaped body appeared before everyone.
It seems like it was born this way.
But besides being shocked, everyone felt a sense of strangeness.
Dragons in myths and legends are all covered in scales and are majestic and powerful, but this one in front of us is completely naked, as if it has been skinned, which is a bit comical.
The changes go far beyond these.
The five monsters around them suddenly opened their eyes at the same time, their bodies emitting different lights.
These rays of light passed between the five monsters, forming a strange pattern.
The outer ring is a circle, and the center is a five-pointed star.
When Xia Tianqiong saw this picture, her pupils contracted slightly, and she suddenly had a bad feeling.
This diagram looks a lot like the Five Elements diagram, which shows the relationships between the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth) in terms of mutual generation and restraint.
The dragon-shaped monster stood in the center of the Five Elements diagram, seemingly in the form of some kind of ritual.
"Boss, be careful, I sense a powerful spatial force."
Huang Yu suddenly issued a reminder.
At the same time, a tiny spatial rift suddenly appeared above the dragon-shaped monster.
A domineering aura, carrying extremely dense Netherworld power, poured down and injected into the dragon-shaped monster's body.
"I sensed the Ghost Realm and the Ghost King's aura. Be careful, or you'll die."
The human-headed dog suddenly gave a warning.
It is malevolent and has a more acute sense of perception.
The Hanged Ghost also warned, "Little brother, I've also sensed the Ghost Realm and the Ghost King. Run! You're in great danger!"
Xia Tianqiong felt completely numb when she heard the two contract ghosts' reminders in her mind!
He suddenly understood the true meaning of "the six corpses are gathered together, and the human and the treacherous are connected".
It turns out it refers to the connection between the human world and the realm of the undead!
But how could a demon king possibly descend?
When he died in his previous life, the King of Ghosts had just appeared in the human world. How could he have died so early in this life?
Even if my rebirth affected history, it shouldn't have such a serious impact!
Those present could not sense the power of the underworld, but they could see a spatial rift that had suddenly opened.
They also realized that things were not going well.
"What's going on? Wasn't it said that this strange event would end after we fought all the monsters?"
"Yeah, you're not lying to us, are you?"
"So many people have already been killed, how can this ever end?"
All eyes turned to Xia Tianqiong again. He had said before that once the monster was defeated, the strange events would end.
The matter is not over yet, and suddenly everyone feels that he has lied to them.
Xia Tianqiong's expression was solemn. Without offering any explanation, he stared intently at the dragon-shaped monster.
The continuous flow of nether energy comes from the spatial rift and then flows into the dragon-shaped monster's body. This method of arrival seems to be different from other strange occurrences.
It's more like some kind of summoning ritual, and it's in progress.
If we interrupt this ritual, will we be able to prevent the Ghost King from appearing in the human world?
As soon as the thought crossed Xia Tianqiong's mind, he immediately took action.
He absolutely cannot allow the Demon King to descend, otherwise he will surely die here today.
He raised his hand and unleashed several Sky-Splitting Techniques, striking the dragon-shaped monster.
The result was that no one was injured and the ceremony was not interrupted.
Strangely, Xia Tianqiong felt excruciating pain all over her body, as if she had been hit by a space-ripping spell.
