Chapter 708: The Jellyfish Running Wild on the Ground
However, the power of the “wig” was strong. Even though the little zombie puppet exerted all its strength, it only managed to drag the “wig” back less than half a meter before a strand of “hair” lashed out, coiling around it and violently throwing it back.
Instantly, Ling Mo felt a pulling pain at his temple. Although the “hair” seemed slow, the speed and power it could unleash in a moment were undeniably formidable.
But Ling Mo couldn’t afford to be distracted at this moment; he had been waiting for this very instant of vulnerability!
His psychic tentacle shot out again, not for binding this time, but for strangulation!
He hadn’t used this move earlier so he could maximize its impact.
The form of the “wig” was peculiar, making it difficult to locate a fatal point.
Even though Ling Mo’s furious beating just now had torn the “hood,” the actual damage inflicted was limited.
The series of attacks were essentially probes. With his previous experience dealing with King level Zombies, Ling Mo definitely wouldn’t underestimate this mutation beast that was akin to a King level Zombie!
Through probing, he had confirmed that this mutation creature had low intelligence but possessed incredibly robust defensive capabilities and formidable attack methods!
Even if it stopped to let Ling Mo hit it, he was not confident he could kill the “wig” before depleting all his psychic power.
However, no matter how sturdy its physical defenses were, in the realm of psychic power, it was absolutely at a disadvantage against Ling Mo!
Taking advantage of the moment when it was injured and distracted, Ling Mo decisively unleashed his trump card!
Upon the psychic strangulation, the “wig” twisted, and its “hair” entangled together.
Ling Mo’s vision darkened, but he was elated.
It worked!
The “wig” struggled and lifted its head, revealing a “black face” with a bloody hole in it.
Although only the blurred outline of its eyes was visible, Ling Mo suddenly felt a chill as if the “wig” was fiercely glaring at him.
Strike while it’s weak, finish it off!
Ling Mo had not placed much hope in the effectiveness of the psychic strangulation, and he was even prepared to escape. However, he didn’t expect that seizing the opportunity would allow a single strangulation to inflict such significant damage on the “wig.”
At this critical moment, it was essential to press the advantage!
Countless tentacles shot out, enveloping the “wig’s” psychic light cluster layer by layer.
Each time the “wig” twisted, it prompted another round of psychic strangulation from Ling Mo.
During the process of strangulation, numerous images flashed before Ling Mo’s eyes.
Although the “wig” had low intelligence, it possessed a certain level of memory capacity.
However, these fragments held almost no reference value for Ling Mo.
Yet, the rapid depletion of his psychic power, combined with the interference brought by these fragments, intensified the impact of the rampage virus on Ling Mo.
The sense of unease quickly magnified, and in a moment of blurred vision, Ling Mo even saw countless strands of “hair” suddenly lunging toward him.
“Ah!”
Just as Ling Mo let out a low cry of alarm in his mind, he snapped back to consciousness.
In that split second, a bundle of “hair” had almost reached Ling Mo’s feet.
With his skin crawling, Ling Mo delivered another psychic strangulation to the “wig.”
The “hair” convulsed, giving Ling Mo an opportunity to retreat.
After creating some distance, Ling Mo felt a wave of lingering fear.
When the psychic strangulation initially succeeded, he was somewhat surprised, but it was clear now that he couldn’t afford to let his guard down for even a moment.
This mutation creature’s strength lay not in its attack but in its unique ability.
As long as one fought it, they would inevitably be affected by the rampage virus.
The fact that zombies ignored it revealed that once in a rampage, they would overlook this virus source, making them easy prey for the “wig” when the time came.
“That was close…”
Ling Mo gritted his teeth and forced himself to stay focused.
He launched another barrage of psychic attacks, while at the same time, he slowly retreated further back to avoid being affected by the rampage virus again.
With his psychic power intensely concentrated, Ling Mo lost count of how many times he had attacked, or how much time had passed.
It wasn’t until a strong dizziness hit him that he suddenly snapped back to reality, eyes wide open and gasping for breath, as he looked towards the “wig.”
“Whew…”
Ling Mo shook his head vigorously, then cautiously kept his eyes on the “wig” for a while.
The strands of “hair” were still trembling slightly, but the shell had completely ceased all activity.
“No way… It stopped moving?” Ling Mo suppressed his headache and extended another psychic tentacle to probe the “wig’s” psychic activity.
It really had stopped…
Ling Mo felt his whole body slacken with relief. This clump of “hair” was truly tough to deal with…
At that moment, he found even moving his fingers difficult-not because he lacked physical strength, but because his psychic power had been drained so much.
“No, I still need to deal with this…”
Ling Mo struggled to stand up straight. The “wig” may have stopped moving, but it was only because its psychic light cluster was damaged. It would quickly regain its activity.
When that happened, it would be Ling Mo who would be in trouble.

“Better burn it…”
Ling Mo needed to get his hands on the mutation beast’s viral hive, but at that moment he was too exhausted to carefully extract it. With its monstrous defensive capability and peculiar “wig” appearance, where could he even begin?
Anyway, after burning it, the viral hive would naturally remain intact.
Although it was difficult to burn, the fact that the “wig” couldn’t move for the time being was a significant weakness.
Ling Mo could take his time adding flammable materials…
However, just as he put down his backpack and started rummaging for something to set a fire, a white blur suddenly shot out from the backpack.
The sudden movement startled Ling Mo, but when he focused his eyes, he was dumbfounded.
It was… a jellyfish!
This helmet-like jellyfish had always been deflated in his backpack, and Ling Mo hadn’t paid much attention to it. He occasionally injected it with a bit of psychic power, essentially keeping it alive.
He didn’t expect it could now move on its own!
Ling Mo gazed at it carefully and noticed a circle of fine tentacles had grown along the lower edge.
These tentacles looked like tiny fringes, seemingly harmless, but with their rapid sweeping motions, they enabled the jellyfish to scurry around…
At a glance, it looked like a glowing jellyfish running wild on the ground…
The Jellyfish dashed straight for the Wig and landed on its main body with a “slap.”
Ling Mo was startled, but what happened next was even more astonishing.
As the Jellyfish’s body began to swell, those strands of Hair started to move slowly.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Wig’s psychic activity hadn’t changed, Ling Mo might have attacked again out of instinct.
Even so, he stared unblinkingly, fearing he might miss any detail.
The Hair was being pulled into the Jellyfish by its powerful suction, although only small portions were being absorbed at a time.
Soon, the Jellyfish’s body started to rapidly turn blood-red…
“Huh! Isn’t it supposed to absorb psychic power…” Ling Mo’s eyes widened. When did this thing start drinking blood!?
In reality, the Jellyfish had already absorbed blood once, but Ye Lian hadn’t told Ling Mo…
These strands of Hair were actually like straws. Though the Jellyfish couldn’t break through the Wig’s main body, it could effectively utilize the straws.
“But what will it evolve into after absorbing all this…”
Ling Mo didn’t stop the Jellyfish, but he did feel anxious about its future evolution.
Anything that sucked blood always made him feel uneasy…
The Jellyfish was small, but it had a massive appetite when it came to blood.
Ling Mo waited a minute, but the Jellyfish still hadn’t finished absorbing…
During this process, the Wig kept twitching. Ling Mo, who had recovered a bit of his strength, executed another strangulation, causing it to go limp once more.
The dominant mutation creature of Cuihu City was subdued by a human and something that wasn’t even considered a proper life form…
By the time the Jellyfish had turned completely blood-red, the Hair had shriveled up like dried grass.
Any remaining Liquid on the Hair had completely vanished. Ling Mo grabbed the Jellyfish, poured some alcohol over the Hair, and lit a match. The Flame instantly roared to life.
The shell was not easy to burn, but the main body of this mutation creature no longer had any resistance.
With firelight reflecting on Ling Mo’s face, he kept his gaze on the Jellyfish in his hand.
This Jellyfish is probably about to start evolving too…
