Chapter 292: Three Transformation Sequences
[In the greasy flesh metal channel, you go all the way down. 】
[The dull sound of "Dong Dong Dong" is getting closer and closer to you, and it seems to be the sound of some kind of furnace thump. 】
Leo watched as the husk entered the hole and followed the rails into the depths of the earth.
[The passage is deep and narrow, and the deeper it goes, the darker the light becomes. 】
[After a corner, some kind of algae plant that emits a shimmering light appears on the wall of the passage, which replaces the light source and provides you with light. 】
[Continue to go deeper until the end, a huge machine that seems to have been silent for countless years appears in front of your eyes.] 】
[It is about five meters tall, made of metal throughout, filled with flesh and blood only in a few crevices, unusually burly, with a height to width ratio of 3:2, and its mechanical hands hanging on both sides hold a long-range flesh firearm of a caliber the size of a bowl on one side, and a thick jagged weapon on the other. 】
[Your arrival seems to have caught the attention of the machine, its chest lit up with a glowing red light, and with the spray of steam, it slowly stood up, and at the same time, a locked red cross appeared on your chest. 】
[A fierce battle is inevitable, honorable contractor, what are you going to do?] 】
[Option 1: Temporarily avoid the edge (fast exit channel)]
[Option 2: Fuck him (just break the copper and iron, smash it directly)]
The description of the text options given by the Mark of Fire is as unreliable as ever, and Leo directly chooses "Option 2: Battle".
[You pull out the charged flesh gun from your waist and shoot the humanoid flesh Gundam first. 】
[On the firearm, the flesh agitated, and a beam of blood light shot out, hitting the eyebrows of the humanoid flesh gundam, but when the light dissipated, only a small black mark appeared on the eyebrows of the humanoid flesh gundam, and the defense was not broken at all. 】
[Your attack has further exacerbated the revival of the Humanoid Flesh Gundam, and it has completely awakened!] I saw that its left hand with a large-caliber long-range firearm with a bowl mouth was quickly raised, and with a "boom", a blood-colored pillar of light shot out quickly. 】
[At the critical moment, your agile short body rolled and avoided it, but the passage behind you was not spared, and a large crater with a diameter of two meters appeared under the bombardment of the blood-colored pillar of light. 】
[Such a powerful attack makes you realize that even if you are wearing exoskeleton armor and are hit by such an attack, it is difficult for the body to survive.] 】
[In the sound of steam spraying, the humanoid flesh Gundam moved quickly, and the flesh cannon in its left hand fired at you from time to time, forcing you into a mess, fleeing in all directions, and the terrifying firepower made it very difficult for you to protect yourself, let alone get close. 】
[After a few minutes, the flesh cannon stopped roaring, and you realized that the weapon should have run out of energy, so you immediately twisted forward and quickly approached the humanoid flesh gundam, at the same time, the humanoid flesh gundam's shoulder part of the steam burst, causing the serrated teeth in its hand to quickly turn, emitting a terrifying "buzz", and slashing at you as it approached. 】
[In terms of long-range firepower, you have been overwhelmed, but now when you enter the melee field that you are good at, everything will be different.] 】
[The seemingly ruthless sawtooth attack of the Humanoid Flesh Gundam is sluggish in your eyes, and with just a dodge, you dodge the attack and go around behind it. 】
[With a loud bang, the sharp end of the metal rod in your hand was heavily inserted into the area of the neck of the humanoid flesh Gundam that was not covered by metal, but to your surprise, this insertion was not completely penetrated, and it was only inserted a few centimeters before it was caught by a thick layer of muscle. 】
[The "buzzing sound" is approaching, and it is the sawtooth of the humanoid flesh Gundam slashing back.] 】
[You dodge sideways, follow behind the humanoid flesh gundam, and with both hands together, hit the end of the metal rod hard, this time, the metal stick finally penetrated the neck of the humanoid flesh gundam, and in the process, it seemed to stab something, causing the humanoid flesh gundam's body that wanted to continue to move to a halt. 】
[The steam gradually weakened until it disappeared completely, and the red light on his chest also dimmed, returning to silence. 】
You have defeated the Humanoid Flesh Gundam. 】
Inside the Burning Sacrifice Hall, Leo looked at the humanoid flesh Gundam that had stopped working in front of him, and his eyes were thoughtful.
The intensity of this thing is kind of interesting.
The initial firepower bombardment was comparable to the peak of transcendence, if it weren't for the fact that the body was added to the exoskeleton, the all-round physical attributes had undergone a qualitative change, and he could exert more superb skills, he really wouldn't be able to avoid it.
And the last blow of the metal rod insertion, not counting metal, just the strength of flesh and blood, is not much more than the extraordinary high-level loss, if it is inserted in a place with metal, with the current physical quality of the body, it is impossible to succeed.
Of course, this is also related to the poor quality of the metal rods.
After all, even the relatively sharp end is just sharpened metal, not very sharp.
Right now, although the metal rod had pierced the neck of the humanoid flesh gundam, Leo could easily tell that this thing was almost "dead".
Although the surface is normal, the inside is already full of cracks, and there is no use value.
[When you come to the humanoid flesh Gundam that has fallen silent, you search carefully. 】
[You find that the weapons on its arms are not welded to death, but have a clever fastening structure, and you remove them.] 】
[Obtain a flesh cannon, a serration that has lost its power source and cannot be turned.] 】
[You continue to search, and finally find that a fifty-centimeter-long ellipsoid-shaped red object has been removed from the chest of the humanoid flesh gundam.] 】
Leo perked up.
He didn't really care about the Flesh Cannon, it seemed to be a match for the Humanoid Flesh Gundam, and it didn't have much value when removed unless he found an additional way to recharge.
Although the sawtooth can't be rotated, it can be regarded as a regular weapon compared to the metal rod, and it barely solves the weapon problem after the metal rod is broken.
It was the last thing that the shell found aroused Leo's great curiosity.
Through the picture, he can clearly see that this red object, which is about 50 centimeters long, about 20 centimeters wide, and 20 centimeters thick, looks like an enlarged insect egg.
But unlike the eggs, it has metal hollow lines on its surface, proving that it is not born, but an acquired creation.
Its surface is translucent, and it can be seen through a seemingly thin membrane, and there is a very strange "creature" inside.
】
It only has eyes, and the rest of the body, including the muscles that are extremely atrophied and conforming to the body, are not normal flesh and blood, but a white structure similar to a pig's brain.
It's like a pig's brain being made into the shape of a human being, which makes people feel very uncomfortable physiologically.
This is also a Libra?
Looking at the creature in the frame in front of him, Leo's eyes widened slightly.
A Libra with an unusually strong torso but an atrophied brain, referred to as the Torso Man.
Libra people who have lost their trunk function and focus on brain development, referred to as brain people.
And the body he possessed, the Libra with a relatively well-developed torso and good brain function, because of the nature of the work they need, are temporarily referred to as workers.
Torso man, brain man, worker......
The three completely different Libra human forms with a clear division of labor, like three strict human transformation sequences, revealed to Leo the tip of the cruel iceberg of the high-level world of "Skun".
Human body modification is not a surprise for flesh technology.
But what made Leo puzzled was that the human body transformation of normal beings should be inclined to strengthen themselves and abandon their defects.
In addition to the workers, the two ways of transformation of the torso man and the brain man are both extreme ways to strengthen one side and weaken the other.
This doesn't make sense to individual beings at all.
The torso man with an atrophied brain has directly turned into a crazy monster without reason.
And the brain man who has completely lost the function of the torso, once he leaves the humanoid flesh gundam, even independent survival is a problem.
What is the point of such a transformation?
Leo couldn't figure it out.
But he could faintly feel the cruelty within.
This world, I guess it's broken.
Looking at the brain man in the shell's hand, Leo thought about it and decided to put it to death.
As for absorption?
It's better to do it for the time being, it looks too much.
After solving the brain man, in silence, Leo continued to carry out the world's strategy.
[You carry the flesh cannon behind your back, hold the sawtooth in one hand, and walk towards the mouth of the dark hole that was previously blocked by the humanoid flesh gundam. 】
[All the way down, with the help of the glow of the algae plants on the cave wall, you can barely see the way. 】
[The passage gradually came to an end, you stepped out, and in front of you was an endless underground flesh and blood world, as far as the eye could see, there were craggy raised stone pillars and sticky mountains of flesh and blood, as if this was the origin of all flesh and blood. 】
[While you are still observing the environment, in a violent roar, a black shadow flashes out from behind the raised stone pillar on the ground. 】
[It was a gray-skinned monster with highly mutated limbs and torso, and even terrifying barbs.] 】
[You reacted quickly, and with a light sideways, you dodged the monster's attack, and at the same time, your right hand with sawtooth went up, and the sawtooth, which was much sharper than you expected, split the monster in two, and blood spilled all over the ground. 】
You killed the Grey Torso Monster. 】
[You have absorbed the crimson flesh sand and slimy white matter in the monster's body.] 】
You've gotten stronger. 】
Judging from the picture, the grayish white of the body surface is slightly deeper, and the muscles of the limbs are also a little stronger, and the increase is about 5%.
After all, it's just a monster that isn't very strong, and you can't expect much.
The monster's strength was so weak that the Mark of Fire didn't jump out of the options, and the shell shot directly to solve it.
[You continue to move forward in this new flesh and blood underworld......]
In the next few hours, the body possessed by Leo was attacked in seven waves, all of which were gray and white torso monsters, but they were different in strength and weakness, and the deeper they went, the stronger they became. At the beginning, the one I encountered was only at the knight level, and in the end, it had reached the level of the middle and high level of transcendence.
And Leo discovered that the gray and white torso monster actually has energy to attack.
A transcendental-level gray-white torso monster capable of spraying a dark green ball of liquid from its mouth, which is extremely terrifyingly corrosive.
It seemed to be the stomach acid of the gray torso monster, barely an energy attack.
Leo controlled the shell and tried to contact a little dark green stomach acid with the serrations, and in a very short time, there was corrosion, if it weren't for the small amount of contact, I am afraid that this weapon that had just been in hand for a short time would have been scrapped on the spot.
This made Leo secretly raise his vigilance.
The gray and white torso monster of extraordinary strength is so terrifying, so what about the legend? What about demigods?
Leo didn't think that this world would be free of mutated monsters with the strength of legends and demigods.
After all, the upper limit of the strength of the high-level world is at the demon god level.
[Along the way, you have come to a place that resembles the entrance to a rail station.] 】
[Above, there are carriages suspended in mid-air on the flesh metal cableway, and it seems that the activation mechanism has been turned off.] 】
[You look into the distance, at the end of the air tracks, there is a huge mountain range of flesh and blood, countless air tracks converge there, and faintly, you see a huge black shadow flashing inside. 】
[Dear contractor, what are you going to do next?] 】
[Option 1: Find the opening device of the Sky Rail, turn it on, and take the Sky Car to the depths of the Flesh Mountains.] 】
[Option 2: Hike to the bottom of the Flesh Mountains.] 】
[Option 3: Return the same way.] 】
This time, maybe I felt something, and even the text expression of the Mark of Fire did not have the "cheap itchy skin" style of the past.
The shell stood in place, silent.
Leo looked at the scene in front of him and fell into deep thought.
The fleeting huge black shadow described in the text just now was also seen through the picture.
Through the comparison of the height of the mountain, the existence corresponding to this huge black shadow is at least a few hundred meters tall, and the threat of a monster of this size will not be lower than that of a legend, and there is a high probability that it has the strength of a demigod, or even more than that.
This kind of existence, with the current strength of the body, let alone fighting, it is estimated that even the other party's coercion cannot withstand it.
However, this does not mean that Leo is going to retreat.
His remnant soul has three chances of possession, and even if this body is crushed to death, as long as he obtains enough valuable information, it is still worth dying.
And the information that may be the existence of the demon god level in this world is not the most valuable?
It is impossible to retreat, and how to pass is a question.
For now, the Skycar should be the safest way to go.
This can be seen from the fact that the giant monster in the Flesh Mountain Range did not destroy the air track.
And the other way, on foot, isn't all bad.
The physical strength of this body is still too weak.
In the process of traveling all the way to the Flesh Mountains, killing more monsters and increasing the strength of the body is also beneficial for facing the huge monsters at the end.
It's also good to have a little more time.
Thinking of this, Leo made a decision to first look for the opening device of the Sky Car.
He was ready to find it before trekking to the Flesh Mountains.
In this way, it can also leave enough retreat for the body, and in case you encounter a monster that can't be defeated, you can come back and take the air carriage.
