Chapter 6 Finding Nodes
Lean over and rush forward against the ground.
When the tentacle came out, Babu started forward at the same time, his body almost parallel to the ground, and rushed out against the ground. As soon as the tentacle was halfway out, he was already in front of the tentacle, and with a backhand dagger, he stabbed deep into the tentacle.
Then the source energy exploded.
The strange energy used the dagger as a medium, instantly pouring into the inside of the tentacle, and Babu clearly felt that the energy that was originally filled inside the tentacle to support its movement was completely out of control under the impact of the source energy, and then exploded together with the burst of source energy, blowing the thick tentacles into pieces.
Only one tentacle was destroyed, but the breach had been opened, and Babu's body twisted slightly, and he gently drilled out along the gap, leaving behind the other tentacles and the flesh squirted out by the sarcoma, blocking the pursuit of the meat block with his tentacles, and getting out of the attack unscathed.
Monica, who was watching the battle from behind, could see the approval in her eyes, but then she noticed that Babu was staring at her right hand at this time, her face full of confusion.
There used to be something called a dagger there, but now that the source energy is gone, the dagger and the tentacles have been destroyed, although they are not as sparse as the tentacles, they have also been blown into several pieces, and they must not be usable.
"I'm sorry, I should have warned you earlier, but I didn't expect that you would be able to use the Source Energy Burst so proficiently after just comprehending the Source Energy Manipulation for two or three days." Monica couldn't laugh a little, "It's hard for ordinary weapons to withstand the burst of source energy, only edge equipment can withstand such destruction, oh, edge equipment is those props found here that have been eroded by the energy of the illusion world, and after purification, it is edge equipment." ”
"Well, it's a little late, but thank you." Babu smiled wryly and handed the deputy's dagger to his right hand.
"You wait." Monica, who was behind her, hesitated for a moment, then stopped Babu, opened her trouser legs, untied a jet-black dagger from her calf and handed it over, "This is my melee weapon, you can make do with it first, and when I go back, I will find you two daggers with the edge of your hand." ”
The dagger was small and sharp, warm to the touch, and Barbu ran his fingers over the side of the dagger, and then looked at its original residence, revealing a strange smile.
Then he was kicked by Monica: "I'm not old, I'm so perverted." Get to work quickly, or you will be charged rent for weapons. ”
The dagger flipped flexibly a few times against his hand, Babu blinked, suddenly took a few steps back, and stabbed a sarcoma on the wall with his backhand, the sarcoma was contracting, and the internal energy had just climbed to a high point, and he was stabbed by the dagger, and the pus and blood inside splashed along the knife edge, and the body instantly deflated.
By the time the pus and blood spurted, Babu had already drifted away, leaving where he was, not a single drop stained on his body.
At this time, the Báb's perception is fully open. He had discovered that the threats here seemed to be purely energy-driven, and with each attack they attacked, the violent energy that underpinned their movements fluctuated violently one step earlier, very different from when they were calm. Well, just react according to their energy......
Babu suddenly bent his legs and swung his dagger, and at the base of the ground wall, a fleshy thorn had just formed from the wall, and it was pierced by a knife, turning back into a pool of flesh. As soon as he left his place, the small black shadows that had been used in the fog around him covered his original foothold like a blanket, and if he was a second late, he would surely die.
The footsteps of the movement had not stopped, and at the place where the footsteps landed, a cloud of mist erupted out of thin air, and the mist floated in the air like a living thing, constantly changing direction, enveloping the place where Babu fell.
Bang, Babu stepped on it, the source energy condensed, and the foot infused with the source energy stepped through the fog and stepped on the ground, it was like stepping on an ant to death. The condensed fog was like ice and snow in the sun, and in the blink of an eye, it drifted away like smoke, leaving no trace.
The movements are like walking with a cloud of water, and the application of energy perception in consciousness is becoming more and more handy, and the proficiency is almost like a natural instinct, Babu feels like there is an extra dynamic map in his brain, and all the strange threats around him are clearly reflected in the map, allowing him to grasp all the dynamics in the vicinity in an all-round way.
Tentacles, smashes, sarcomas, punctures, shadows, detachments, fogging, ablation.
For a moment, Babu marched along the ruined streets of the ruined city, and although there were many strange beings around, they could not let him stop and stay, and although the attacks were frequent, they could not stop him for a moment.
Even Monica, who was behind her, had to speed up her pace.
At first, she followed slowly, occasionally helping to clean up the fish that slipped through the net, and when Babu was completely proficient, not only did she not make another move, but she even had to take a quick step on her long legs to stay close behind Babu.
This guy may not only be able to resolve the crisis in the village, is my guess true, he can really fulfill my wish?
Looking at Babu's back, Monica, who was full of anticipation, was a little distracted for a while, and then almost hit Babu's back.
Because the Báb stopped, and had just passed a short distance from a crossroads, the Báb suddenly stopped and stood still.
"What's wrong?" There seemed to be a hint of anticipation in Monica's voice, but she forcibly maintained a nonchalant tone.
"You don't pretend to be like it at all." Babu smiled and quickly stepped back, "It looks like I did walk by, and I feel that something is wrong, maybe I should turn right from here." ”
"What do you feel?" Although Babu stopped, Monica made a move, and the whip rang out again and again, and the surrounding strange existence was instantly emptied.
"It's hard to describe." Babu had a little time to rest, frowned and thought, "It's just a feeling of inexplicability, like there's something very important here, and if you miss it, you have a feeling of loss." But if you're going to tell me what I've sensed, I really don't know...... Hey. ”
Monica smiled and gave a look to her: "Got it? ”
"So you weren't joking just now, you really don't know what to look for in the second step." Babu smiled wryly, "I really thought you were pretending to be mysterious, sorry if you didn't feel it for yourself." ”
"It doesn't matter, that thing is actually the node I mentioned once."
"What the hell is a node?" Báb asked.
"Grow outside the present world, connect to the illusory world along the edge, once the node appears, the violent pollution energy will pollute the edge and the present world along the node, and now these are just the most basic edge tricks, close to the node You will know the real threat. And the higher the node level, the more serious the pollution, the second level ...... I hope it's not level 2 yet. Monica sighed, shook her head and changed the subject, "Well, have you locked this feeling already?" ”
Babu is indeed not just chatting and recuperating, he is taking this brief opportunity to repeatedly savor the induction of the node, since he has promised to help Monica, then he must do his best, even if it is good to have a little more certainty.
"Go on." Babu opened his eyes and nodded, and then walked to the right turn of the crossroads, which were still flanked by half-collapsed and half-intact ruins, and the passage in the middle was blocked by a large iron gate, which was hidden and covered with dirt and rust.
Babu stretched out his hand to open the gate with his dagger, but just before the dagger touched the fence, his face suddenly changed, and his body suddenly activated, flashing to one side like an arrow from a string, and at the same time, there was a piercing scream from behind, and a long whip tore through the air, and at a speed that was indiscernible to the naked eye, it passed the afterimage left by Babu when he left, and slammed against the iron door.
Everything happened between lightning and fire, and Babu was just about to open the iron door, and from the surface of the iron door, a flesh-like monster suddenly bounced up and quickly wrapped itself around Babu's head.
At the same time, Babu also discovered that this thing had no energy fluctuations at all before, as if it did not exist, and it suddenly exploded before the outburst, which caught Babu off guard for a while, reacted a step slower, and reluctantly dodged the assault.
Monica found out slightly earlier than Babu, but due to the location, the support was a little slower, so while Babu barely dodged, the whip broke the flesh film, and by the way, he also gave the iron gate a ride.
"Bang", the iron gate finally completed its mission, and collapsed with a bang, revealing a long tunnel between the two floors behind it.
"Thank you."
"I'm sorry."
The two spoke almost at the same time, and the sudden tacit understanding made them look at each other and smile.
"I'll be a little more careful."
"Hmm." Monica nodded, "The danger inside has increased significantly, and the closer you get to the node, the more dangerous it becomes. ”
"Understood."
Babu took a deep breath and was about to take a step when a call came from behind him.
"Wait, if you really can't support it, don't hesitate, immediately cut off the breath of life and hide yourself, don't worry about me, the level here can't keep me."
With a backhand thumb up, Barb re-lit a fluorite and felt it into the dark depths of the tunnel.
"Tick, tick", I don't know whether it is condensation or slime, dripping from the top of the passage, the rhythmic dripping sound is extremely clear in the silent passage, there is obviously a sound, but the passage seems to be more and more dead.
In the dark, the crawling sound of scratching the wall is endless, as if there are countless small animals, climbing along the wall, sometimes on the ground, sometimes on the wall, as if everywhere.
In Babu's energy perception, there was no sign of energy explosion, and all energy fluctuations were relatively flat, unlike the harbingers of the attack of those strange creatures outside, and the light of the fluorite passed, and he could see that the surface of the wall was actually the same as the outside, with the same sarcomas and flesh pieces scattered everywhere, which seemed more and more hideous in the dark.
Wrong.
Babu took a few steps forward, the alarm in his mind kept ringing, and he always felt as if he had missed something important. Repeatedly, carefully recall every detail just now, the shape and location of those sarcomas...... Not good!
The light snapped back again, just in time to see a few sarcomas break through the darkness and pounce on the face.
