My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World-Chapter 477 - 412: Turncoat Alliance [Double-Length] (Part 2)

The expressions of the crowd changed. Lu Shuhang stopped in his tracks and looked up. The ceiling was deep and nearly black, with thick thorny vines winding and piling like a mass of snakes, densely occupying the upper space, writhing as if alive, with veins flowing with a fluorescent light.

These thorny vines extended far into the distance, where a giant bud emerged on a wall surface, its human-face-sized petals tightly closed, revealing sharp teeth inside, with corrosive venom oozing out.

"It's a Plague Hunter, currently dormant. Everyone, enter Stealth mode," Lu Shuhang issued the order.

Beneath the Kingdom, these mutated plants were everywhere. The first to mutate, these plants crawled through the botanical garden down to this place, weaving their roots tightly in the sewers. These plants were extremely bloodthirsty and manic; a lack of caution would result in being preyed upon, and in recent days, they had suffered many losses due to these plague plants.

Similarly, they had figured out a pattern; only after 6 PM would these plants wake in large numbers. Traveling before then could avoid as many casualties as possible.

Having navigated through a path filled with biological traps without incident, they finally reached a chamber; it was the sewer outlet, where toxic water relentlessly cascaded, carrying human remnants within.

A giant creature dangled in the air, resembling an agglomeration of swollen eyeballs pressing against each other. Several large eyeballs remained open, rolling alertly to watch the environment, while the upper eyeballs drew out long, white, thick mucus to maintain its suspended stance. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The creature was covered with scars, with pus occasionally oozing, and its giant mouthparts revealed a blood-red, plump, and tooth-filled tongue, rolling up the debris in the toxic water and devouring it eagerly.

"It's the Life-Devouring Gospel," Lu Shuhang's eyes darkened. The Assassin's Creed had been jointly hunting this world BOSS for days now, but the sewer was its domain; its seemingly cumbersome body was extremely agile, repeatedly escaping their sieges with its heavily injured body.

The complex and perilous terrain of the sewers required them to pay a price each time they sought it out, which led them to seek assistance from the Light Chasing Garden.

Wendy nodded bleakly at the group, turned off the 'Olfactory Perception,' and moved aside to lean against the wall and vomit. For some reason, her senses were much sharper than other Hunters, nearly overwhelming her with the sewer stench.

The girl's mind couldn't help but recall the image of the 'Red Queen,' instinctive fear causing her shoulders to tremble slightly. She held haunting memories from her time with the 'Red Assassin.'

Many people who couldn't log out due to reality's circumstances were captured and forced into the Red Assassin ranks, and she wasn't exempt.

The madwoman saw these people as her slaves, forcing them to increase pain perception to 120%. In the virtual world, with no concern of breaking her slaves, the Red Queen employed any conceivable method on them.

And she was the Red Queen's most cherished 'toy,' at least that's what the woman told her whilst holding her in her arms and gently kissing away her tear stains...

Wendy looked at her hands, shattered countless times before, recalling that night. In front of the blonde girl, the Red Queen was in such a sorry state, her face twisted like an Evil Ghost, suddenly feeling as if a lifetime had passed.

Had she truly escaped that Hell?

Lu Shuhang organized the party ahead, preparing to finally slay the Life-Devouring Gospel this time.

Several members of the Assassin's Creed knew how unpleasant Sensory Enhancement felt, especially in the Poisonous Sewer, and gathered around to comfort the uneasy-looking girl.

At that moment, Wendy suddenly noted the world channel's message regarding 'Dark Gold Rose's betrayal of the alliance,' her gaze trembling uncontrollably.

"Are you okay?" one member stepped forward to ask, but before he could react, the girl with a grim face suddenly erupted, stabbing him in the abdomen with a knife.

The man's pained grunt alerted Lu Shuhang, who was organizing tactics. He turned to see Wendy pushing away those beside her, inexplicably rushing toward the Life-Devouring Gospel like a madwoman.

"Stop her," Lu Shuhang sensed something amiss and shouted softly.

Xiao Xinzhu quickly reacted, swiftly moving in shadows, intercepting Wendy mid-way in a flash, pinning her to the ground with her forearm against the girl's throat.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Wendy stayed silent, grabbing a nearby dagger to thrust it toward the girl's neck, but the battle-hardened Xiao Xinzhu easily knocked the weapon from her hand.

"Was she trying to lure the Life-Devouring Gospel just now?"

"Are you crazy? It's not time to act yet, you almost ruined everything!"

"Good thing Sister Xiao reacted in time, or we would have let the Life-Devouring Gospel run away."

"No, look at the world channel," someone whispered.

Those present opened the world channel, seeing the words 'Dark Gold Rose's betrayal of the alliance' deeply pierce their eyes.

The members of Assassin's Creed acted rationally, soon someone came to Lu Shuhang's side, suggesting, "Looks like she just received the order from Dark Gold Rose, Guild Leader, should we kill her?"

Wendy bit her lip, pinned and unable to move.

Lu Shuhang calmly thought about it and reached the same conclusion as Nanjia Wood.

"I think, at least, it's not a premeditated plan by Dark Gold Rose. If it were premeditated, she wouldn't have sent so many to assist us."
