First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

The long sky was as if dyed in blood, wind and rain arriving together, as the [Bloodstorm] swept forward with Lu Ding, drenching every inch of territory he flew over.

He tried his best to avoid any areas where humans might possibly exist.

Everything else, he didn’t care about.

Restrain!?

Lu Ding didn’t know what restraint meant.

Since he was here, the best way to gather intelligence was to fight his way through, sweep everything in his path, and make any suspicious existence that appeared in his line of sight a target for destruction.

The human Dao he held firm in his heart could perhaps allow him to distinguish between people and monsters.The three circling Dinghai Pearls, combined with the [Water Dao System].

With a wave of Lu Ding’s hand, water was generated from nothing.

A tsunami was coming!!!!

The Bloodstorm, combined with the tsunami, unleashed a scene of world-destroying devastation across the interior of Nanshan Kingdom.

It was as if this place, resembling a hell on earth, was his home ground, as if he were the most terrifying, cruelest ruler of this Ghost-Occupied Zone in Nanshan Kingdom.

Mountains and rivers shattered, rivers were swept up in the overwhelming tsunami, seeming like just a drop in the bucket. Cities broke apart, towers collapsed.

This was the mass attack method Lu Ding could think of with the least ”post-battle contamination.”

At least it didn’t cut off the vitality. Destroying things was still better than letting ghosts occupy them. Afterward, with just a little tidying up, people could continue to live here.

It wouldn’t be like Baoji Kingdom’s Royal Capital, where the roots of life had been completely sucked dry.

Along the way, Gongyang Qingrou comforted the increasingly restless Wang Qingge, communicating with her through writing in a small notebook.

Otherwise, Wang Qingge would definitely want to help Lu Ding with something.

If she made a move, forget about whether there were any survivors in these places. Even if there were, there probably wouldn’t be any afterward.

Gongyang Qingrou herself didn’t really care.

But Lu Ding certainly wouldn’t want to see that kind of outcome.

Behind Lu Ding and the others, the strong cultivators dispatched by the Nanshan King continuously sent back intelligence that made the Nanshan King both excited and heartbroken.

Of course, these people weren’t under Lu Ding’s protection. They could die or live as they pleased.

They followed along only to report the situation to the Nanshan King at any time.

As for Lu Ding?

Don’t be ridiculous. He came here to do a job, and you expect him to report to you at any time?

What level do you think you are?

The Nanshan King?

Great Han is a socialist state; they don’t play that game.

Even Lu Ding’s direct superior hadn’t told him to report at any time.

They smashed through mountains and cities all the way.

Until ahead, Dong’an Province, the main producer of White Ink Mine, came into view.

This was Lu Ding’s temporary little goal. He wanted to come over and see how this precious mineral vein, which was about to pass through his hands and then belong to Great Han, was doing.

But if you don’t look, you don’t know.

Once he looked...

The entire city was thick with ghostly qi, and the location of the mine was so dense with ghostly qi that it was black tinged with purple.

Lu Ding retracted his spells and flew at full speed.

When he got here, he couldn’t use things like the [Water Dao System] anymore. If he damaged the mine, that would be an extra cost here or there.

But his expression was somewhat unpleasant.

Ahead.

Inside the White Ink Mine of Dong’an Kingdom, ghost creatures swarmed in groups.

They surrounded a group of injured Qi Refiners within the mine, gradually forcing them into a desperate situation. But the ghost creatures, holding the advantage, didn’t dare to make the slightest rash move.

Because ahead, in front of the army of evil ghosts, a young boy tightly clutched a formation plate, protecting everyone.

He shouted hoarsely: ”LET US GO!!!!!”

”Otherwise, I’ll blow up this White Ink Mine and let it be our burial! Then you won’t get anything!”

From among the ghost horde, Ghost Calamity Six, wearing a large cloak with the character ”6” written on the back, stepped forward and said: ”Stupid human. The White Ink Mine is useless to us ghosts. What does it have to do with us whether you blow it up or not?”

The boy gradually calmed down and slowly stepped backward: ”Guess if I believe you. I’ve been hiding in Mine Shaft Number Three for so long, and I’ve only ever seen scattered ghost creatures. Today, you suddenly gathered a large army, pointing your swords at the White Ink Mine. What else is there in this place besides White Ink Mine!?”

”If you’re not here for the White Ink Mine, what else could you be here for!?”

”I don’t know what use you have for it, but I’m betting you came for it. Either let us go, or I’ll blow it up right now!!!!”

The boy’s analysis made the Qi Refiners behind him, who had been hiding in the White Ink Mine to avoid the ghost disaster, brighten up.

That’s right.

They had been hiding here just fine before. They had never seen so many ghosts. This godforsaken place only had White Ink Mine. If the ghosts were here now, what else could they be here for but the White Ink Mine?

Could it be for them, for blood and flesh?

Don’t be ridiculous.

Even if they were chopped into mincemeat, there wouldn’t be enough to go around among the ghosts present.

As for the boy in front of them, although he looked unfamiliar and they hadn’t seen him before, the current situation didn’t allow them to think too much about it.

Their attention now, like Ghost Calamity Six’s, was focused on the formation plate in the boy’s hand.

Before Ghost Calamity Six could speak.

The mine manager of this local mine, standing in the crowd, said: ”Kid, don’t be afraid of them. At worst, we’ll die together.”

Hearing this, the boy disguised by Mottian quickly stepped back into the crowd, hooked his foot around a little girl lying unconscious against a rock, lifted her onto his shoulder, and then moved to a position at a distance from both humans and ghosts before saying: ”Who wants to die together with you!!!?”

After saying this, he looked at the silent Ghost Calamity Six: ”I’m willing to compromise. Just as long as you can let me and her go. I don’t care what happens to the others!!!”

”A sentimental young master, are you serious with those words?”

A silver bell-like female voice came through. The ghosts parted ways, and a young girl wearing hot pants and boots, dragging a human skull-spiked meteor hammer while biting a lollipop, slowly walked forward, standing next to Ghost Calamity Six.

The boy immediately said: ”The greed in their eyes proves they’re not worth the risk of me saving them together.”

Ghost Calamity Nine laughed, took the lollipop with the character ”9” written on it out of her mouth, held it in her hand, and said to Ghost Calamity Six beside her in an even more fluent tone: ”Dad, let them go.”

A look of pure affection filled Ghost Calamity Six’s eyes: ”Okay.”

The ghosts made way.

The boy, carrying the girl on his shoulder, walked out step by step, maintaining full vigilance.

Until he passed by Ghost Calamity Nine, just as their figures crossed paths...

The human skull-spiked meteor hammer that had been lying still on the ground suddenly moved, whistling as it smashed toward the boy.

The boy caught it in his peripheral vision, but his body was no longer able to dodge in time.

But his hand was still holding onto the formation plate: ”Then let’s all die together!!!!”

Just as the entire White Ink Mine district was about to connect and explode...

The next second.

A hand with well-defined knuckles reached out, firmly grabbing the boy’s hand that was moving the formation plate. Another hand swung out fiercely, shattering the meteor hammer.

The next second.

A roar, like a dragon’s chant, burst from Lu Ding’s mouth toward the ghost horde: ”SCATTER!!!!!!!!”

As the sound waves surged and exploded across the mountains, obliterating thousands upon thousands of evil ghosts in one go...

Lu Ding ripped the formation plate from the boy’s hand and confiscated it!!!!

He turned, extended his hand, grabbed Ghost Calamity Nine’s neck, lifted her up, and tore horizontally. Hearing the sound of flesh and blood and bones tearing apart, Ghost Calamity Nine was split in two.

She died a gruesome death without even a scream.

Ghost Calamity Six slowly turned his head, shock and grief surging together in his heart. But Lu Ding wasn’t about to give him that much time to reminisce.

An uppercut, rising like a dragon, started from the soft flesh and bone connection at Ghost Calamity Six’s Tanzhong acupoint and chiseled upward. The terrifying, monstrous force of [Mountain-Shaking Earth-Quaking] erupted with ferocious power, smashing through Ghost Calamity Six’s flesh and blood and bones all the way, creating an unceasing sound of cracking.

Until it smashed through Ghost Calamity Six’s lower jaw, his head, and blasted off his crown of the skull, splattered with brain matter.

The whistling force of the punch sent a column of black smoke soaring straight into the sky. The pure, deep black pierced a hole right through the heavens.

Dong!!!

Ghost Calamity Six’s gruesome, mangled corpse collapsed weakly to its knees before Lu Ding.

He swung a horizontal kick and slammed his foot into the corpse’s chest!!!!

Bang!!!!

Ghost Calamity Six’s already broken body was kicked apart, exploding into fragments of minced meat that scattered and splattered everywhere.

After doing all this, Lu Ding slowly turned around, looking at the boy disguised by Mottian: ”Who gave you the guts to dare blow up Great Han’s mine?”

Lu Ding was covered in black smoke, his fierce aura fully revealed.

If he had been even a little later, the White Ink Mine would have been destroyed!!

Damn, that was really close!!

Mottian carefully lowered the girl from his shoulder, cradled her in his arms, and bowed to Lu Ding: ”I’m... I’m sorry. I was trying to stay alive. I’m sorry.”

Lu Ding took a deep breath.

Then suddenly lifted his leg!!

Bang!!!!

It hit Mottian squarely in the chest, but didn’t touch the girl in his arms. It only sent Mottian flying back, smashing heavily into the rock wall and becoming embedded there, spitting out mouthfuls of blood.

Lu Ding caught the girl who had fallen from Mottian’s arms, gently handed her to Gongyang Qingrou beside him, and asked: ”What’s the situation?”

As Gongyang Qingrou examined the girl’s condition, she said: ”The degree of damage isn’t high, it’s acceptable. No major problems.”

She hadn’t made a move earlier because she had been using a secret technique similar to the one she used to search for the Wasteland Domain back on Overcast Mountain, to check the overall preservation of the White Ink Mine here.

Then she continued: ”This child doesn’t have much time left.”

Wang Qingge, standing on tiptoe to look at the girl in Gongyang Qingrou’s arms, raised a sign.

[She’s going to die]

Mottian, embedded in the wall, struggled free from his predicament, lay on the ground, and stretched out his hands covered in blood toward Lu Ding’s direction, saying weakly: ”Save... save her... please... please save her......”

Thud...

Mottian pretended to faint and passed out.

Lu Ding shot him a disdainful glance. Wasn’t this Huangfu Lingyun’s trick? When you’re out of options, you pretend to faint. How ridiculous.

Although Lu Ding couldn’t see through the disguise on Mottian, he felt something was off. After all, this wasn’t his area of expertise. For example, he had no solution for the God of Two Poles on Bai Hemen earlier.

But Lu Ding possessed the [Life-and-Death Dao Fruit]; he could still discern a person’s state. This person’s life essence hadn’t been affected in the slightest.

That kick just now was only a test.

Now Lu Ding had confirmed the information. This person gave him a very strange feeling. His cultivation was around the third level of God Ascension, and after taking that kick, his life essence barely fluctuated. Very suspicious!

Under normal circumstances, he should have been relatively seriously injured.

As for abnormal circumstances...

This wasn’t Great Han. Feifan and Xinghe weren’t here. Lu Ding himself didn’t want to think about it that much and then eliminate possibilities one by one. He only did elimination!!

Avoid all accidents, minimize risks to the lowest possible level, and prevent the situation where enemy members could get close to him to gather intelligence.

Even if this possibility, looking at it now, didn’t seem particularly large, as long as there was a possibility, snuff it out!!!!

Kill a thousand by mistake, don’t let one slip!!!!

Raising his hand, [Way of the Jinche]

”Since you like playing dead, I’ll grant you that wish!”

Although there wasn’t an extra chapter, I tried to write a bit more.
