Chapter 38: Self-Disintegration
Shure is not whimsical, and for good reason.
The mutated monster seems to have no weaknesses, but it needs to absorb the flesh and blood of other creatures to provide certain elemental support for the continuous growth of its own tissues, which is its biggest weakness.
"Its muscle growth is uncontrollable, not to mention that it is not conscious now, and even if it is conscious, it is impossible to stop the muscle growth, otherwise it will not be swallowed by its own muscles. "Since it can't be stopped, it can't leave the corpse and flesh for a long time, as long as it can't absorb the flesh for a while, it is estimated that it will have an effect soon." ”
When you think of it, you can do it, and time has no room for hesitation.
Monsters are hard to kill, and they always chase after Shul and Saf, and although they can get rid of monsters, they don't dare to do so. This is an underground cave, the most complex natural system, if you run around in a panic to avoid monsters, if you lose your way, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out again. Even if the general direction is not lost, but after all, you are not familiar with the environment, and if you are blocked in a certain dead end, it will really be over.
Therefore, for whatever reason, taking out the monster as soon as possible is the only way out.
Although there are many corpses on the ground, they are cave creatures after all, and it is not difficult to deal with them, Shure used as a bait in front to lure the monster to circle in a small area, and Saf quickly collected the surrounding corpses together, tore open the scroll of the Flame Hand, and used compressed magical energy to quickly burn the corpses to ashes.
The idea is very good, but the implementation is still in trouble, when the corpses pile up to a certain extent, the Roshan monster suddenly abandoned Shuer, crawled over to the pile of corpses, it seems that the monster chased after the two, not with them have any deep hatred, just because the two of them are much larger than the other cave creatures, can provide more flesh and blood, so they attract the attention of the monster. Now, as soon as more flesh appears in a certain location, the irrational monster will naturally turn that way.
Well, in this way, the essence of this monster is actually no different from the metamorphosis of Dark, well, it must be like this.
"Childish ghost, don't make a fuss, do you still burn it?" Saf held the magic scroll in his hand, and waited for Shu'er's decision. Since the monster's attention has been attracted, it means that the two can take the opportunity to pass through the cave tunnel blocked by the monster, and there is no need to have a head-on conflict with the monster.
"It must be burned, it cannot be allowed to live any longer. Shul gave the order without even thinking about it.
Just kidding, this kind of troublesome hidden danger, of course, must be eliminated to rest assured, even if it can't be eliminated for a while, at least try to find a way to eliminate it, otherwise even if you know where the target to destroy is, Xiuer will not dare to go over easily.
Shen Cai knew how big the range of this monster was, if the two of them just passed, the monster behind them would eat the corpse pile, and it would be troublesome to chase after the two of them. Moreover, no one stipulates that there can only be one similar monster, in case two of them block the road head-on, and the one behind them is in hot pursuit, and the two are stuck in a narrow tunnel, and then there is no other way to go except to turn into a part of the monster.
"Ignition. Shul hesitated for a second, "Wait, that scroll isn't very expensive." ”
"Hee-hee, nasty ghost, this is the material provided by Lord Orana, even if you don't use it, you are not allowed to take it secretly, you have to return it to others. The female swordsman secretly glanced at Xiuer, really, she didn't forget to make trouble at this time.
"Tsk, it's such a waste to burn the corpse with such a good scroll, I knew that I should have asked her to give me gold coins just now and I would purchase them myself, maybe I could deduct a few ......"
"Shhhh On the surface, it is just a flame, but in fact it is highly compressed magical energy, the effect is excellent, as soon as it touches the target, it turns into an incandescent light, and the high-temperature flame rushes straight to the top of the cave, illuminating the cave that has not seen light for thousands of years, as bright as day.
Even if it is a low-level warrior, the body has been tempered by energy, but if it is hit by the hand of flame head-on, there are extremely high ones that will be burned to ashes, not to mention that there are only dozens or hundreds of corpses that have no energy flow anymore.
"Huhuhu", the corpses are burning, not far away, the monster is trying to rush in the direction of the flames, its speed is actually a little faster, it seems to understand that once the corpse is burned, it will have nothing to eat. It seems that even the instinct of a creature to fear fire has disappeared, and there is nothing more than the desire to absorb flesh.
"Hiss", another scroll was torn apart, the hand of flame was replaced with a wall of scorching heat, one was used to ignite the fire, and the other was used to burn continuously, under the alternating effect of the two magic scrolls, before the monster could arrive, the pile of corpses was completely burned out, all the flesh and blood were calcined, completely carbonized, and even the bones became crispy, and they shattered into powder at the slightest touch.
"Bang", the monster crashed into the pile of corpses whose flames had been extinguished, but it was still a step too late, leaving it with only a pair of coke.
Wriggling, wriggling, the monster was not disappointed, and found that it was no longer able to assimilate to flesh and blood, and did not stay for a moment, without a little nostalgia to turn around, and chased after the two again.
"I don't see any changes. Saph was a little disappointed, "I thought it would starve to death." ”
"If you don't eat a meal, you won't necessarily lose weight, but if you don't eat for a few days, try it. ”
"Nasty ghost, nasty ghost, I don't need to lose weight, I'm not fat at all. "Women are really extremely sensitive to weight issues, even a docile woman like Saf.
Still, changes have emerged.
In order not to encounter other monsters that may exist, the two of them took the suitors behind them, and always circled between the front and back caves, and by the way, they cleaned up a few caves, leaving no corpses, so that the monster could not replenish flesh and blood.
Finally, after forgetting how many times they had turned, the two of them clearly found that the speed of the monster had slowed down, and the frequency of muscle peristalsis had decreased a lot, but even if they had lost their replenishment, the expansion and proliferation of the body had never stopped. As Shur said, uncontrollable proliferation can't be stopped, and without the replenishment of flesh and blood, the only result of the monster is ......
Go to pieces.
That's right, self-collapse.
The color of the monster's body is getting whiter and whiter, and there are more and more yellow-green pus left on the ground, and the monster that has lost its flesh and blood replenishment begins to self-absorb and self-digest, and the pus on the ground is a by-product of self-absorption.
The more the body is damaged, the more it has to swell and proliferate, and the more it proliferates, the more it will in turn accelerate the damage to the body. Once it starts, it's a vicious circle, and you can't stop until you absorb fresh flesh and blood.
"It's time to get results. Finding that the monster that had been chasing and moving suddenly stopped, Shul breathed a sigh of relief, and then stopped with Saf, turned around and carefully stared at the sarcoma monster to observe, lest he not see the process of the monster's death, and it was difficult for the two of them to rest assured that they could not see the end of the monster with their own eyes.
Luckily, there weren't any accidents, except for the fact that the monster died in its own right.
After the monster stopped, its body immediately shrunk into a ball, even the granulations and sarcomas no longer trembled, and the color of the body surface turned completely pale, just when the two thought that this was the end, and the monster had maintained this position and died, its extremely huge body, all parts suddenly began to melt at the same time, like ice and snow shining in the sun.
The speed of melting was very alarming, and within a few seconds, the behemoth, which was already seven or eight meters high, turned into a large pool of viscous liquid, leaving nothing behind skin, muscles, bones.
"How can this be?" the two looked at each other, no one expected that this would be the result in the end. Not only did he die, but even his body collapsed, but if you think about it, it's not unreasonable. The birth of the monster was originally a special change after the light of destruction, and the muscles continued to proliferate, and it was also maintained by the light of destruction. Now after death, the light of destruction has been lost, and the most basic elements that make up the body have begun to collapse, leaving only a puddle of liquid.
"It's finally over. Saph let out a sigh of relief, even happier than when he heard that he had achieved his dream. The image of the monster is too impactful, and the longer she looks at it, the greater the impact, and she can guarantee that she doesn't spit it out, which is already very powerful.
"Another fire. Shure pointed to the liquid on the ground, and while the self-crumbling remains of the monster were unlikely to be any more threatening, caution was never too much in a dangerous location.
"Self-check. After confirming that the last thing left by the monster in the world had also turned into gas under the heat, Shur under the mask finally smiled and ordered softly, "As I said just now, this place should not be far from the target location, check the protective suit again to avoid missing anything." ”
In fact, if there was a problem with the protective suit, something would have happened by now, but what Shul was worried about was whether Saf, who had been close to the monster several times, would be attacked during the battle just now, and the protective suit would be damaged, but fortunately, the protective suit was intact and there was nothing wrong.
"Really?" Shure was obviously unconvinced, and suddenly reached out and groped around Saf's protective suit, "I'll check it for you." ”
"You're nasty. The female swordsman who finally relaxed was laughed angrily by Xiuer, and pushed Xiuer who took the opportunity to do bad things aside without anger, well, it was really just a casual push, and it flew out more than ten meters away, "Don't make trouble, be careful of another monster." ”
"No, at least not in theory. Shuer shook his head and said, "These monsters don't have the same kind of consciousness, they will devour each other, so even if there were several of them, now there should be only the one just now." Of course, it can't be ruled out that there are other monsters in the cave farther away, but at least it won't affect our work. ”
"Great, I hope there will be no more distractions, and we can find our target smoothly. ”
"Whosoever asks, saith the Lord, thou shalt receive, and thy desire has been fulfilled. Schul drew his finger in a circle, "Actually, I've already found the target. ”
