Chapter Seventy-Eight, Before Becoming a Monster Completely
It raised its arms high, screamed piercingly, and the carapace on its neck began to grow rapidly, soon covering the door as if it were about to enclose its entire skull.
Zhao Mingzhi's whole body was like a Dire Zerg, but his head was still human. Now his skull began to twist and deform, growing carapace and more tentacles, moving closer to the head of a disgusting bug.
This is the true appearance of the Dire Zerg, and only by completely transforming him can he fully exert the power of the Dire Zerg and exert that terrifying fighting instinct to the extreme.
But if he is completely transformed, then Zhao Mingzhi will no longer be Zhao Mingzhi, and he will be completely reduced to a worm monster, whether it is physical or mental.
Li Yan's whole body was covered with seven or eight blood marks, and the wounds were not deep, but they should not be underestimated, which was enough to affect his movements. He gasped violently, his eyes staring at the insect man opposite, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, as if he was excited about this difficult opponent.
"Brother Li, let us help you!" Chen Hu had already solved the mermaid monster on the other side of the manhole and rushed back with people, he saw that Li Yan was covered with injuries, and he couldn't help but shout.
Shen Xiaoyan had been standing beside her, she had already bitten her lip, her fists clenched, and she tried to suppress herself so that she wouldn't do anything stupid.
She knew very well that even Chen Hu was not capable of participating in the battle between the two of them, and if she forcibly participated, it would only distract Li Yan from taking care of him.
Li Yan really shook his head and glared at Chen Hu, "Watch obediently, and then help me when you have more than 5 times your strength." ”
Chen Hu was speechless, just his fists creaked, and the strong desire to become stronger filled his heart, including what everyone present was thinking.
It would be nice if I could be stronger!
Li Yan just said a word in distraction, but the insect man on the opposite side seized the opportunity and pounced like lightning.
His figure was extremely strange, relying on the flapping of his wings to change direction continuously, conjuring up a series of intermittent afterimages, as if there were more than a dozen doppelgangers, swooping at the same time from all directions.
Li Yan turned his head and ran, flying against a wall with his back, so that at least the insect man could only attack from the front.
The knife arm attacked, but it no longer slashed, it was all fierce thrusts, and such an attack was easier to break through Li Yan's defense.
In a matter of seconds, the insect man kept attacking from more than a dozen angles, stabbing more than a dozen knives, faster and faster, more and more fierce!
General Li Yan shoveled across his chest, and while protecting the vital parts, he raised his legs and kicked it, but the insect man was too fast, and he actually dodged Li Yan's attacks several times.
If Li Yan's reliance on the two tricks of Broken Sea and Rigid Body was enough to defeat an enemy whose physical fitness was stronger than his own, then the Dire Zerg at this time relied on his terrifying combat intuition to make up for this gap.
Li Yan couldn't help but think of the Dire Zerg description of the Dire Zerg by the Mind Demon, who said that although this race was only a lower-level race, it had a fighting instinct that many higher-ranking races did not have. Each of them is a natural warrior, and the most effective fighting skills are recorded in every cell.
When Zhao Mingzhi's own sanity gradually disappeared, and the instincts of the Dire Zerg gradually took over, the pressure on Li Yan became more and more intense.
"We have to fight hard!"
Even if Li Yan had all kinds of strategies and tricks, there was no room to use it in the face of the terrifying speed of the insects. As the saying goes, martial arts in the world are only fast and unbreakable, and as long as he has the slightest distraction, he will be pierced by the knife arm.
There is only one option left for him, and that is to exchange injuries for injuries!
After forcibly forcing back the insect man again, Li Yan shouted, propped his left arm on the wall behind him, and suddenly pressed down with the power technique of breaking the sea, and at the same time, with a kick of his legs, the whole person rose into the air, rushing up to a height of more than 7 meters like lightning.
This jump was very sudden, completely avoiding the attack of the insect man, but Li Yan was exposed to the air, and the insect man's reaction was so fast, almost immediately following Li Yan jumped up at the same time, raised his knife arm forward, and stabbed Li Yan in the lower abdomen.
But Li Yan didn't care about it, and while jumping up, he grabbed the military shovel with both arms, and his whole body rushed into it.
Breaking the sea is already very physically demanding, and Li Yan can only use it three times in his complete state, at this time, after nearly ten minutes of hard fighting, his physical strength is about to be exhausted.
Just listening to the sound of "poof", the insect man's knife arm stabbed into Li Yan's abdomen, and his rigid body seemed to have no effect?
But Li Yan's sea break was a moment late after all, and the insect man could completely withdraw his sword and retreat, waiting for Li Yan to die of exhaustion.
However, the truth is not as it should be.
"Stabbed Lao Tzu, why do you still want to run ???"
The muscles in Li Yan's abdomen suddenly squirmed and clamped, and he actually locked the two knife arms, Li Yan deliberately dispersed the effect of the rigid body when he was bearing the knife of the insect man just now, and then activated the rigid body again after being stabbed, and the soft flesh suddenly became as tough as rubber, even if the insect man tried his best, he could not withdraw.
Li Yan's eyes were red, he endured great pain, and forcibly used a military shovel to cut out a broken sea!
I only heard the muffled sound of a sharp blade entering the flesh, and the sharp edge of the military shovel cut along the left shoulder of the insect man, cutting the flesh and bones all the way, cutting out from the crotch, and dividing the entire insect man into two!
"Whoa......
Screaming in pain, a man and a monster fell from mid-air and slammed into the ground.
"Li Yan!"
Shen Xiaoyan couldn't bear it anymore and staggered forward.
"Protect Li Yan!" Chen Hu shouted and rushed up with a group of soldiers.
"Don't come here!" Seeing everyone approaching, Li Yan shouted, and that inexplicable majesty actually frightened a group of soldiers into trembling footsteps, "If you come over, you will kill me!" ”
Li Yan was really miserable at the moment, not to mention the more than a dozen wounds of different depths on his body, but the puncture wound in the abdomen was enough to be fatal. Although the insect man was split in half, its two knife arms were still inserted in Li Yan's abdomen, and Li Yan knew that if he pulled it out rashly, he would die faster.
Such a serious injury may not be able to be saved even in peacetime when medical conditions are perfect, let alone without any equipment.
Li Yan knows very well that there is only one thing that can save him, and that is blood! Lots of flesh! Only the regeneration effect of absorbing the blood mist allowed him to survive this mortal injury.
Shen Xiaoyan reacted very quickly, and immediately figured out what Li Yan needed, she opened her arms in front of the army, and shouted loudly regardless of her image, "Don't get close!" Stand back, y'all! ”
Zhao Mingzhi's blood and qi must all be absorbed by Li Yan in order to treat his injuries, and no one can share it, and Li Yan's only way to live is this.
Li Yan's eyes were solemn, staring at the insect man who fell into the distance, and there was no blood mist emitted from his body, which proved that he was not dead!
Having lost both arms and a leg, the body with only half of the torso left is still not dead? The vitality of the Dire Zerg is truly tenacious.
After a few seconds of silence, half of the worm on the ground trembled, and it slowly squirmed, struggling to prop itself up.
It struggled to lift the skull, which had almost completely turned into an insect, and the skin of the original human had turned into a hard brown carapace, a spike had grown from the part of its nose, its ears had become two small holes, and one of its two eyes had become the compound eye of an insect.
The only remaining human feature on the skull was the last human eyeball, which wept at the moment, contrary to the violently wriggling body that tried to regain its mobility.
Yes, Zhao Mingzhi is crying.
Are those tears of pain? Is it tears of remorse? Is it tears of humiliation?
Li Yan didn't know, no one would know, but Li Yan understood the meaning of the tears.
Zhao Mingzhi was praying, praying for his own death, praying to die while he could keep his human mind.
He, the so-called "pride of the sky", has fallen into such a miserable situation, which can't help but make people sigh, but the poor must have something to hate!
If he had put his talents to good use, and had not let ambition consume him, and had not murdered his father, perhaps his outcome would have been completely different.
"Now, die." There was no mercy in Li Yan's eyes, he just swung down the shovel and smashed the ugly head to pieces.
Blood mist, a massive amount of blood mist rose out of the corpses of the insects.
It was the largest blood mist so far, so thick that it seemed as if the whole world had turned red, and Li Yan bathed in it, like the center of a storm, greedily devouring it, letting those blood qi fill his empty body.
He grabbed the arm of the knife inserted in his abdomen with both hands, and pulled it out suddenly, and the wound spurted out a large amount of blood, but it slowly healed under the nourishment of the blood mist.
Won.
It was only then that he felt a sense of victory, and he felt that this battle was really much more difficult than expected.
Although Zhao Mingzhi has learned martial arts, his actual combat experience is zero, and when he uses his consciousness to manipulate the body of the insect man, he is just a rookie who sits on Baoshan and does not know it.
He wanted to keep his sanity, so he fought against the instincts of the insects until the end, but the more he fought, the more he could not exert his full combat effectiveness.
If you retain your sanity, you can't win, and if you lose your sanity, you can't enjoy victory, and in the end, Zhao Mingzhi still chose to fight and choose to die as a human being, even if it meant that he would be completely defeated by Li Yan.
"Haha, hahaha, what a good opponent." Li Yan lay on the ground and slowly fell asleep in the moisture of the blood mist.
The entire Chihai Battalion witnessed his victory, and this miraculous victory rekindled hope in everyone's hearts, and everyone waited, waiting for the blood mist to dissipate, waiting for the hero's return.
What no one knew was that a black seed floated out of the broken head of the insect man, burrowed into Li Yan's chest, and lodged in his heart.
That was the seed of the evil god, the source of Zhao Mingzhi's fall, and no one knew what changes this thing would cause to Li Yan......
