Chapter 36: The Mouth of Madness

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Mian's mana reached 47.5 after cultivation, and 15 days had passed since this month, and she planned to carry out her second mission today, "Crazy Mouth".

After preparing the magic berry as usual, she chose to enter the mission transit space.

"Crazy Mouth (Normal): Three years ago, Mage Andrew secretly conducted human research in the heart of a mountain in the middle of the Dodis Mountains.

He plundered several villages, but the matter was uncovered when the bounty hunters took the Imperial bounty and followed the trail into the Dodis Mountains, unaware of it, and was eventually killed when he was ambushed while out of the mountains in search of a new test subject.

But the by-product of his experiments, a phagosome, was left behind in the mountains, and the evil creature formed by the indiscriminate mixing of the victim's eyes, mouth, and liquefied body began to devour everything around it.

Please clean up the abandoned lab. ”

In Chen Mian's opinion, this phagosome may be a mollusk similar to a scavenging insect, and it may look disgusting, so she silently built herself up and chose to start the task.

In a flash, Chen Mian appeared in a cave, she quickly put on her mage armor, ran to the edge of the cave, and only after leaning against the cave wall did she begin to observe her surroundings.

This is a relatively wide cave, the wall of the cave is very rough, the roof of the cave is about ten meters above the ground, and the top is inlaid with several glowing stones, illuminating the whole cave.

There are several large stone platforms in the center of the cave, some of which are faintly visible with dried dark red blood, some of which are scattered with some dark yellow paper, and there are three small doorways in the corners, which do not know where they lead.

After finding that there was nothing unusual around, Chen Mian cautiously approached the stone platform and found that one of the stone platforms was scattered with some parchment, the words on which she did not recognize, but she could read it with the help of the world network.

It appears to be some experimental drafts, some with some human organ patterns drawn on them, and some are just some chaotic sentences or data.

Chen Mian collected all the parchment paper and roughly figured out the purpose of Andrew's research, he probably wanted to strengthen the ability of human beings in some aspect by transforming the human body.

These may be drafts too messy to be of little value to her.

After thinking about it, I thought about releasing Xiao Hei, letting it enter the virtual state, and going to the three small doorways to take a look.

Chen Mian used Tia's bracelet to sense Xiao Hei's position, and found that it had entered the small doorway on the left, and Chen Mian sent a teleportation technique, "How is it, Xiao Hei?" ”

"There's no danger here, come in," Hei's voice said.

Chen Mian walked in with confidence, this cave was only about a quarter of the outside, with many hollows carved out of the wall, some books and bound parchment, and a very simple wooden bed, it seemed that this was Master Andrew's study and bedroom.

While Chen Mian came in, Xiao Hei continued to check in the other two doorways, they kept in touch with the communication technique, and soon heard Xiao Hei's message, "Xiao Mian, there are some big cages here."

"You be careful, I'll come over right away", this cave is clear at a glance, the phagosome body is obviously not here, Chen Mian will take a closer look later, and go towards the door hole on the right.

The cave was very deep, with several large wooden cages not far from the cave, and the stench of human feces, which Chen Mian guessed was the place where he had been holding the villagers he had looted, but it was empty.

Let Xiao Hei in front, they continued to go deeper, the more inward they went, the stronger the rancid smell became, and soon they went to the innermost part, it turned out that the rancid smell came from a big pit.

The feces, rags, and hair in the pit were mixed with the dark red liquid, Chen Mian covered his mouth and nose, and took two steps back, "This must be the place where Master Andrew discarded the experimental waste, and I don't know how many people are buried here."

"Hey, no, why didn't you see a stump or something?" She felt strange that only the hair in it was clearly from the human body.

Holding back a strong feeling of nausea, Chen Mian carefully identified the residue in the pit, "There really isn't", she came to this conclusion again.

Suddenly, she noticed that in the left corner of the cave, the ground seemed to be a little different, and walked along the edge of the pit, "how soft the ground is, as if something had passed through here", she stepped lightly on the ground here, and found that there seemed to be a layer of slime left on it.

Following the traces, she noticed that there was also a hole in the shadow of this corner, but it didn't seem to have been cut like the other places, but it looked like something had come out of it.

"It must be a phagosome, the introduction mentions that it will devour objects, maybe even stones", Chen Mian thought secretly.

"Xiao Hei, you go in through this hole and take a look, be careful, don't go too far, maybe the target is inside", Chen Mian told Xiao Hei.

Sensing Xiao Hei slowly entering, Chen Mian interrogated him, "How is it?" ”

Xiao Hei didn't react for a long time, "Xiao Hei? Chen Mian immediately made a decision, quickly retreated, away from the entrance of the cave, and used Tia's bracelet to teleport Xiao Hei to his side.

Xiao Hei was still in a virtual state, and Chen Mian couldn't see it, so he could only sense its location, and screamed several times before getting a response.

"It's horrible, it's like 10,000 people are chattering in my ear," said Blackie, who slapped his chest with his little paws.

"What do you see?" Before Xiao Hei could answer, Chen Mian saw the shadow of the hole in the corner shaking, and something came out.

Soon, Chen Mian also felt what Xiao Hei said, deep or sharp, wailing or howling, and all kinds of cries of pain or ecstasy, disturbing her mind, and a fierce sense of fear hit her heart.

Thankfully, she didn't completely fall into a state of distraction, and struggled to operate her mana, releasing herself a fear removal, and instantly felt free from the chaotic babbling.

and superimposed a Fear Removal on Black, and it returned to normal.

Her pupils shrank, and she finally saw the source of the voice, the appearance of this phagosome was really chaotic, if it wasn't for the removal of fear, I am afraid that even if she carried the whisper, she would fall into a state of fear under the impact of its appearance.

I saw a strange-shaped blood-red monster, slowly wriggling out, with a dense mouth full of fangs, each mouth making a different sound.

Between the mouths, many short tentacles protruded, and at the tip of each tentacle was an eyeball, staring at them deadly.

Fortunately, the phagosome did not move fast, and Chen Mian was able to pull away easily.

She quickly stepped back, closed her eyes, and threw a flash of light, blinding the phagosome, but her mouth screamed even crazier.

Chen Mian followed with a greasy spell supplemented by a burning hand, enveloping the phagosome, and a miserable scream sounded in her ears.

Suddenly, there was silence in his ears, and in the firelight, Chen Mian vaguely saw that all his mouths were closed, slightly bulging, as if he was going to spray something.

Chen Mian's heart was not good, and he quickly retreated, and dense saliva-like liquid sprayed towards her.

But it didn't seem that the range was too far, and before it could attack Chen Mian's body, it fell to the ground not far away, and she just put her mind at ease, but she didn't expect the saliva that landed to suddenly emit a dazzling flash.

Chen Mian only felt that his eyes were bright and white, and he couldn't see anything.

Instead of panicking, she stepped back alertly, unable to see anything, but the sound of the phagosome's whispering allowed her to roughly feel its location.

"Xiao Hei, can you see it", Chen Mian summoned Xiao Hei.

"Yes, I'm far away, I'm not affected," Hei's voice said.

"You come up to my shoulder, and when I reach out to cast a spell, help me reorient me", she held out her hand, pointing in the direction where the murmur came from.

With Xiao Hei's help, Chen Mian released a colorful spray, only to hear the whispering sound stop for a moment, and then howl even more frantically, obviously hit.

In this way, the phagosome was also shocked, and fell into a state of blindness again, and she continued to use the greasy technique and the flaming hand to cooperate to hit the phagosome again.

This time, the flames were even bigger, the mucus on its body was burned dry, and many of its eyeballs were also burned blind.

All I heard was a thud, "It rolled into that pit," said Blackie, and "the fire was almost extinguished."

Chen Mian also vaguely saw it, her eyesight was also recovering, and she took a few steps forward cautiously, entering the casting range, and a looming gray ray shot out in her hand, hitting the phagosome.

When her vision became clearer, she switched to a magic missile, dealing effective damage to the Dreadnophage, and it rolled in pain in the pit, gradually whispering quieter and quieter.

"It looks like it's about to die", Chen Mian looked at the embarrassed appearance of Fear Eater, his body was scorched, most of his eyeballs were burned, and only one mouth was left to whisper as if he didn't know the pain, and gradually fell silent.

It died, and its entire body began to disintegrate, turning into pieces of minced flesh mixed with teeth and blackened eyeballs, and sank into the pit completely.
