Can a decapitated head still speak?

Chen Feng was utterly shocked. He truly had no idea how to kill a creature that could live without a head.

If he couldn't figure it out, he decided not to dwell on it.

The Water Ghost rushed towards the head on the ground, intending to crush it.

However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred.

Driven by the Boss Lady's consciousness, the human skins hanging in the Third Floor hall instantly came to life, flying towards the Water Ghost as if they had a mind of their own.

As the saying goes, one chopstick is easily broken, but ten chopsticks held together are strong.

A single human skin might be easily torn to shreds by the Water Ghost, but when hundreds of them pounced together, they pinned the Water Ghost to the ground, rendering it immobile.

"Damn it!"

Chen Feng held the head, unable to do anything but cheer from the sidelines.

Although seeing the snake demon could petrify creatures, it required eyes to do so!

"Get up, don't you want revenge?"

Under Chen Feng's call, the Water Ghost let out a low growl, struggling to rise, but its injuries were too severe. Each time it stood, it was pressed down again by the human skins.

If it were in full form, it might have had a chance.

Chen Feng put down the head, drew the heavy baton he had taken from Old Li, and decided to take action himself.

To catch the thief, first capture the king. If he could smash the Boss Lady's head, maybe the human skins would stop.

With that thought, Chen Feng swung the baton towards the ground.

With a loud crash, he smashed half of the Boss Lady's face.

"Did it work?"

Chen Feng looked at the ground's mess of flesh, suddenly feeling weak as his vision darkened. Turning his head, he realized a human skin had stealthily wrapped around his back.

Damn it, die!

Chen Feng violently shook off the human skin, but at that moment, some red, firefly-like light dots scattered from the skin, flying towards the Boss Lady.

As the red light dots merged, countless fresh red tendrils sprouted from the Boss Lady's shattered head, rapidly growing at an inhuman speed. The gray-white stone shell on her face quickly peeled away, revealing blood-colored skin.

These light dots were healing the Boss Lady?

Chen Feng instantly understood. If the Boss Lady was like a mosquito, these human skins were her proboscis. The more energy the skins absorbed, the faster the Boss Lady recovered.

In no time, the Boss Lady had reattached her head and smiled, "Handsome, we've only met once, but you seem to know me well. Not only do you know how to reach the Third Floor, but you also brought my dead husband."

Chen Feng gave a bitter smile, wanting to resist, but he was too weak from the energy drain to stand: "Is trickery all you know? How about a fair fight?"

Though he spoke righteously, accusing the Boss Lady of trickery, as soon as she let her guard down, Chen Feng suddenly threw a hidden weapon at her.

"Handsome, you're so naughty, I like it..."

The Boss Lady caught the hidden weapon, only to find it was a primed tear gas grenade.

A loud explosion!

The Boss Lady was knocked unconscious, and without her control, the human skins stopped moving.

The Water Ghost seized the chance, breaking free and lunging at the Boss Lady. This was the last opportunity, but just as the Water Ghost was about to succeed, the Boss Lady's figure blurred and reappeared several meters away.

She could teleport?

Chen Feng gasped.

Able to command human skins to drain enemies' energy and heal, enter dreams to kill from afar, and teleport to evade attacks—such a troublesome monster was truly despair-inducing.

A missed strike.

The Boss Lady once again commanded the human skins to pin the Water Ghost down. With continuous absorption, the Water Ghost soon turned into a puddle of corpse oil.

[Water Ghost (temporarily subdued) has disappeared]

[Wish mission failed!]

"Now it's your turn."

The Boss Lady approached Chen Feng step by step, her high heels clicking lightly on the floor.

Chen Feng stared at her, unafraid: "Come on! Kill me."

Isn't it just my life you want? Take it!

The Boss Lady was surprised: "You have quite the backbone."

Chen Feng snorted, exchanging his life for information on the enemy was a worthwhile trade.

"Next time, give me an Immortal Cultivation System, and I'll slash this evil creature with a single immortal sword."

As the Boss Lady drew closer, Chen Feng felt his eyelids grow heavy as if weighed down by a thousand pounds. Finally, his body went limp, and just like before, his skin began to dry, turn gray, and eventually become an empty human skin shell.

[Number of reloads: 4]

Chen Feng slowly opened his eyes.

The Boss Lady, He Ting, said, "Handsome, you don't look well. You'd better find shelter before it rains."

Chen Feng nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly: "Yes, yes!"

"Then, would you like to take shelter at my place?"

"Yes! Of course!" Chen Feng grabbed the Boss Lady's delicate hand, "I'm a drifter, out of money for food. Can you give me a job as an Internet Cafe Attendant?"

Another prey caught.

The Boss Lady was delighted inside, but outwardly she hesitated, "Do you want to join us?"

"Please let me join your team."

Chen Feng held the Boss Lady's hand, looking sincere.

Following the Boss Lady into the shop, Chen Feng happened to run into Old Li and Zhang Ruobing on their way out. He suddenly thought of something and gave a reminder: "Officer, there's something I want to tell you."

Old Li asked, "What is it?"

Chen Feng said seriously, "Whatever you do, don't go into the water today, or you'll lose your life."

Old Li found it amusing: "Why would I randomly go into the water?"

A clicking sound echoed in the air.

Zhang Ruobing said, "Crazy, Master, let's go."

He had done all he could.

After the last battle, Chen Feng understood that in fights between such monsters, the help Old Li and the others could offer was limited. The key was that in the Boss Lady's boss fight, the more teammates there were, the more targets for the human skins to drain energy from, making the Boss Lady harder to defeat.

So this time, it was just him and the Water Ghost.

Chen Feng checked the System:

[Water Ghost (temporarily subdued)]

[Status: Healthy]

Yes, the Water Ghost had recovered, and this time it was in full form.

Now he just needed to wait for rain to summon the Water Ghost ashore.

After preparing, Chen Feng began to examine the new box.

Number XX-01-DKQD, it said: "Ascend the heavenly path, walk the song, a flick of the finger can cover the sky."

XX, Immortal Hero!

Is it really here?

Chen Feng was overjoyed, but when he noticed the number 01 at the end, it was like a bucket of cold water, calming him down.

Damn!

It's a mission system!

In short, this system, like the Great Good Person and Great Villain Systems, issued tasks for Chen Feng to earn points.

But Chen Feng was now locked in a death struggle with the Boss Lady and needed immediate combat power, not some useless points.

What good are system points if you can't spend them?

Moreover, tasks from the Immortal Hero world sounded particularly difficult. What if Chen Feng got a super task like "Eliminate the Initial Saint Demon Sect" or "Stop the Dark Turmoil"? How could a mere mortal like him complete it?

After much thought, Chen Feng ultimately chose LS--02-SHSG, a historical exchange system that had been with him for a long time, but he hadn't selected it before due to a lack of points.

Now it was time to open it and see what it was all about.

Opening the box, the system prompt arrived as expected.
