Chapter 304: Devil Leeches and Corrupt Human Mushrooms

"General, it's not difficult to decipher the code of this room. But the trouble is that the level of authorization required is very high, and it looks like a bloodline permission ban. Unless you can find a specific 'authorized item', such as an ID card or something. Otherwise, if you want to crack it, it may take a long time. ”

"Ask the people below if anyone has found anything like this in the ruins."

"Yes, sir."

"By the way, can it be opened violently?"

"Hardly possible. I haven't been able to leave any traces on this door with the seventh-order [Cutting Card], this room is made of a special alloy as a whole, and there is also a sub-god-level prohibition. I estimate that it will take at least a spell of the ninth order or so to be able to break the prohibition on the door."

“.”

After everyone was excited, they were immediately poured cold water on reality.

The code door in this room won't open, which means they'll have to spend a long time here.

Legion Leader Herman frowned as he watched.

But I can't think of any other way.

Since the toad has determined that there is a high probability of a "jar" here, then they have a reason that they will definitely not give up.

The Stinger Legion gathered around the central control room, figuring out how to open the door.

However, at this moment, the seventh-order voodoo master Heather was the first to sense something, and suddenly his expression froze: "No, there is something in the water!" ”

Everyone was reminded by this, and then they suddenly woke up, and they all looked into the water.

That's when they found out about the anomaly.

It is not known when some translucent floating creatures appeared in the water.

"Hey, Lao Luo, why do you have a worm on your neck? I'll rip it off for you. What's going on, can't you rip it off? ”

"Mark, you seem to have it on your arm. No, there are also on the neck, and on the legs."

"Damn it, what the hell, how did it get into my armor? Get it down for me. ”

"Not good! These leeches have paralyzing toxins, and they're sucking blood like crazy!"

“.”

The light in the laboratory is dim and the visibility is low.

Those leeches are like chameleons, changing color with the environment.

So when people found out, everyone had a few leeches quietly pasted on their bodies.

The tricky thing is that they are like mosquitoes, and they don't feel it at all when they bite.

By the time the others found out about the problem, they had already injected toxins and sucked a lot of blood.

The people around me didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, and they were looking for leeches attached to each other's bodies.

At this time, the voodoo master "Black Widow" Heather also picked up a bug and took a closer look.

It looks like an inconspicuous leech, and the blood is highly corrosive after being cut off.

And the next scene sent chills down everyone's spine.

The worm's severed body was still writhing, showing no signs of death, and the wound was visibly healing.

In the blink of an eye,

From one bug, to two?

It's like a copy, it's exactly the same!

Seeing this bizarre scene, she suddenly thought of something, and her expression changed greatly: "Be careful, this is the [Abyss Devil Leech]!" ”

It's an ancient worm that can suck dragons dry.

The ghost thing that has been extinct for a long time, I didn't expect to see it here!

Break the armor, split and regenerate, almost immortal and indestructible.

If there are too many of them, they will be a deadly threat to the top powerhouses!

As he spoke, this seventh-order powerhouse had a ghostly expression on his face, as if he had guessed some terrible consequences, and shouted urgently: "Quick! Everybody out! ”

Heather, who looked at the poison expert, was like a great enemy, and everyone, including Legion Commander Herman, immediately realized that something was wrong.

I don't know if it's because this voice has alarmed some intelligent beings, and the translucent insects that were quietly sneaking in the water just now are no longer hidden, and suddenly they light up with fluorescence.

They rushed towards everyone in the ruins like a rage.

In the blink of an eye, the water at the waist-high thighs seemed to turn into fluorescent colors.

When I looked closely, I didn't know where it came from, the water in all directions was densely packed, and countless insects poured towards everyone in the water.

The atmosphere of terror spread through the crowd in an instant.

"Ahh How could there be so many bugs! ”

"Help! Help me! ”

"You can't kill it, you can't kill it at all!"

“.”

Almost instantly, a green glow filled the entire pool.

Those adventurers who didn't have time to react, hundreds of leeches climbed on their bodies in an instant.

Just now it was a small insect that was harmless to humans and animals.

It became a deadly killer in an instant.

The insects can easily bite through the protective qi, curse marks, and even dragon scales, and suck blood wildly.

Anyone who is immersed in the water is surrounded by swarms of insects.

You can't kill it, you can't get rid of it.

A worm is like a cut in its body, and the blood is pumping out.

But in the blink of an eye, the bodies of those low-level card masters were almost visibly shriveled.

I only listened to the continuous sound of falling into the water next to my ears.

Death is like the cutting of wheat.

Once you fall into the water, you will be wrapped in green fluorescence, and the insects will be poured into your body from your mouth and nose, and there will be no chance of survival.

Even if there are people around, no one can save them.

Everyone was too busy to take care of themselves.

On the second floor of the huge research institute, wailing and screaming came and went.

"Physical damage is useless, burn with fire! Alchemy salt, alchemy salt is useful! ”

"No, who brought a lot of alchemy salt, help me"

"Quick! Burn it with fire and drain the water element! ”

“.”

The adventurers tried all kinds of means, but the physical means were almost completely useless.

Even if they were cut into dozens of pieces by the sword qi, those leech fragments could still survive.

In the blink of an eye, they turned into new living beings.

Except for crushing to ashes, it is almost impossible to kill.

Even if it is an elemental attack, except for the fire burn effect, there are still some effects, and the damage of other elements is very limited to the killing of this bug.

And there are so many bugs that they have quietly attached to almost everyone.

If you really want to burn and kill insects, you have to burn people together.

Not far away.

Ji Xun had quietly retreated to the iron cage where the toad was imprisoned.

But even he was very dignified in his heart.

He expected trouble,

But I never expected that there would be so many bugs.

It's endless!

Moreover, these [Abyss Devil Leeches] are not the same as those encountered outside.

It seems that the bloodline here is more advanced, and the ability is more weird.

Can't kill, cut off and regenerate, and is born with high magic resistance

Ji Xun's pupils dilated, taking in the entire research institute.

He also found that these insects did not attack irregularly, but first quietly clinged to the low-level card masters on the periphery.

By the time it was discovered, the encirclement had already been completed.

Ji Xunxin said: "These insects have wisdom? ”

Just like ants, individual individuals may not have a complex consciousness, but they will have some collective consciousness in groups.

Or, what is the Bug Emperor?

The voodoo master "Black Widow" Heather obviously knew the origin of this bug better, and when she looked at the scene in front of her, she was already scared into a cold sweat.

Heather thought she could try to get rid of the bugs, but she saw that the swarm had "intelligence" and immediately realized that something was wrong.

Her tone became sharp again, and she burst out: "Hurry up!" There may be a leech emperor! ”

If it's just a devil leech who acts on instinct, it's not a big problem.

But once there is the Worm Emperor, it means

They're not just swarms, they're individuals!

Hearing this, the legion leader Herman, who had transformed into a fire dragon beside her, and spouted fire everywhere, did not think about fighting, his body was shocked, and a mouthful of dragon flame burned a large area of water nearby, and the battle broke out, and Long Wei swept the entire space in an instant.

However, when Ji Xun saw this, his pupils shrank slightly, and he felt more and more that something was wrong: "The life rank of this leech is not worse than that of a dragon?" ”

At this moment, the red dragon that Herman transformed into was also crawling with fluorescent insects, although it was not bitten through the body protection domain, countless insects were also frantically devouring the energy that overflowed from his body.

The most outrageous thing is that Long Wei didn't shake the insects down?

This means that this devil leech is either not lower than the seventh order, or its life personality is similar to that of a dragon.

Whatever the case, it's not good news for Ji Xun.

Ji Xun quietly left the pile of people before, so he avoided the area where the leech army attacked the most.

At the same time, because of the contamination of his own blood, the insects will feel uncomfortable after absorption, which also makes it easy for him to find the insects attached to his body.

The scalpel is slicing and cutting, and it is okay for the time being.

Ji Xun followed the people around him and ran towards the gate on the second floor.

Originally, I wanted to take a break from these ubiquitous bugs.

But before I could run to the entrance, I saw countless people on the first floor rushing towards the second floor in horror.

Looking at the people on the second floor of the basement who wanted to run out, there were people from the first floor who stopped them loudly: "Don't go up to the first floor, there are highly toxic spores in the air outside!" ”

As soon as the two gangs met, a closer look showed that a terrifying scene was happening on those who poured into the second floor of the research institute from outside.

As they ran, some granulations were visible to the naked eye on their skin.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the granules absorb the nutrients of the body and turn into colorful mushrooms.

They all look like "mushroom people" who came out of a fairy tale.

There are countless colored mushrooms growing on its body.

But the more lush the mushrooms, the more shriveled those people's bodies become.

As he ran, he had already become a mushroom bag that provided nutrients to the mushrooms.

And what's even more terrifying is that they run all the way, and the ripe mushrooms also float some dusty spores in the air all the way.

"Damn it! That's a parasitic monster [Hell Corrupt Man Mushroom]."

"Be careful not to expose your mouth and nose to breathe! The monster is a parasitic monster, and the mycelium it spreads out will parasitize the living organism through breath and skin."

“.”

Someone is still shouting warnings.

But it was too late.

Like a plague, the mushroom's mycelium was exposed to the air, covering almost every corner of the institute.

The card master, who had no means of restraint, didn't have time to call for help, and he had already found that mushrooms had grown on his skin and in his internal organs.

Those mushrooms are frantically extracting nutrients from the body.

Ji Xun is a qigong master, and there is Gang Qi covering the body surface throughout the whole process.

The breath circulates internally, and it can also block the parasitism of spores in a short time.

But others were not so lucky.

It was like cutting wheat, and the ruins fell in large swaths.

Ji Xun watched the thousands of mushroom people pouring in, and couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, and murmured in his heart: "The Bai family's methods are really evil."

Mushroom spores on this layer, devil leeches on the second floor.

They are all plague-based monsters.

It's not that strong.

But it just gives people a feeling of not knowing where to start.

Except for avoidance, it is impossible to dispose of it at all.

But now the situation is such that there is nowhere to run.

The first floor of the research institute is dead, and the second floor is also dead.

Even the camp on the ground, I'm afraid the situation is not good at the moment.

The situation is irreversible.

It's just these two monsters, the hundreds of thousands of adventurers who came to this [DP-955 Research Institute] can survive, I'm afraid there will be no one in a hundred.

Ji Xun had already guessed that this was the sacrifice of the Bai family.

Except for the way it was a bit surprising, there was nothing surprising about the situation in front of him.

Judging from the current situation, whether it is a mushroom spores or leeches, it is not fatal to a sixth- or seventh-order card master in a short period of time.

But when Ji Xun saw this, he didn't think it was over.

He deduced in his heart: "After the sacrifice, those guys of the Bai family should be able to magnify their moves to solve these high-level card masters in the Southern Continent. If you don't run away now, you'll be in a lot of trouble. Moreover, the main structure of this research institute is so well preserved, if the people of the Bai family really want to come in in advance and get the permission to use it, once the door is closed, they can't escape if they want to."

If Ji Xun wants to survive, the best option is to rush out as fast as possible.

But after thinking about it,

He felt that if he really wanted to escape, he might not really be able to survive.

And once he escapes, he will inevitably expose some means and arouse suspicion.

Most importantly,

The only chance to save the toad at the moment will also be missed.

At this moment, the toad is still locked in an iron cage.

But because the cage was higher than the water, and because the people of the Holy See had also used some special means, the leeches had not climbed up for the time being.

At the moment of life and death, no one obeyed the prohibition of not approaching the iron cage.

Seeing this, the nearby adventurers and sergeants also clinged to the prisoner cart in order to survive.

A small iron cage with hundreds of people hanging.

When Ji Xun saw this, a touch of determination flashed in his eyes, and he decisively chose Aragorn as the "anchor point of life".

Compared with escaping, following the toad is not necessarily more risky.

With all the thoughts, Ji Xun also took advantage of the chaos to run over.

Like the other adventurers, he hung in horror on the iron cage.

If you want to get the toad out, you first have to hand it the [Gamir's Master Key].

It's also the only time in the past few days that I've been able to get so close to the cage.

However, the cloaked men of the Holy See were obviously on guard.

They kept an eye on each of the people in the cage.

Ji Xun didn't dare to expose his flaws.

However, it was in the blink of an eye that the news that made everyone desperate came again.

didn't wait for Ji Xun to find an opportunity to hand the card to the toad, at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of the gears of the entire space "clicking" and "clicking".

"Oh no! The gates of the ruins are closing! ”

"Damn, we're going to die here."

"Get out of here."

“.”

Seeing this, these people in the Southern Continent also realized that in addition to them, there seemed to be other "outsiders" in this ruin.

Moreover, those outsiders also have some authority over the ruins.

At this moment, even the legion commander Herman suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The door was not closed before, and they could advance or retreat.

But if the ruins are sealed, no one can guarantee what will happen.

No one would think that those who control the closure will have good intentions towards them.

Now, it's either a fight to get out or you're trapped.

Ji Xun also keenly caught Herman's gaze and those people from the Holy See.

As a result, they chose to stay here.

Because they also knew that if the "jar" was really in the ruins, those outsiders were probably coming for that thing.

I went out, but the next time I came in, the jar was still here.

It was the people of the Stinging Snake Legion who chose to stay here, and in the blink of an eye, the door on the second floor of the research institute had been slowly closed.

The retreat has been sealed.

Ji Xun looked at it, and a touch of solemnity and contemplation also appeared in his pupils.

It is very likely that this institute is studying the outer gods in the jar.

The specifications are so high that ordinary people can never imagine.

Even if thousands of years have passed, it is not a big problem to trap this group of card masters who are only seven orders at the highest.

Ji Xun's gaze kept observing the people of the Holy See.

Those guys didn't seem to show the eagerness they should have to be trapped to death, which proves that they may have some other hole cards.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun was not in a hurry.

The spores had no effect on him for a short time.

And those devil leeches can't be killed, and they can't be killed.

But Ji Xun carried a lot of miscellaneous items.

If he really wants to be surrounded by leeches, at least the "alchemy salt" is enough for him alone.

Ji Xun deduced the direction of countless situations in his mind.

Either way, the current situation is not a desperate situation for him.

However, Ji Xun knew that the crisis was more than that, and wondered in his heart: "What are the people of the Bai family going to do when they sacrifice these people?" ”

It was this thought that came to mind when the expected accident appeared.

Everyone watched, and some ghostly spirits slowly appeared in the air.

Although these spirits are strange.

But the most are snakes, insects, foxes, and crows.

Seeing this, Ji Xun muttered in his mouth: "The four great immortal families of the Bai family."

Seeing this, he already understood the purpose of the sacrifice.

The incense is not extinguished, and the immortal family is not dead.

The people of the Bai family used the souls of more than 100,000 people to recondense the spirits of the immortal family who had disappeared in this research institute.

Seeing those floating spirits, Ji Xun's eyes gradually became playful.

The immortal family enshrined by the Bai family during the Tarun period has a combat power comparable to that of gods and demons.

If you really want these descendants of the Bai family to awaken a certain ancient immortal family, this matter will be interesting

The people of the Stinging Snake Legion looked at these immortal phantoms, and their expressions were not very good-looking.

However, at this time, the trouble was not those ancient immortals who had just condensed.

At this moment, the countless devil leeches in the water were also full of blood, and each one emitted a strange green light.

In the dumbfounded eyes of Ji Xun and the other survivors, those green lights converged together, gathering sand into a tower, thirty or fifty of them merged into one large leech, and then one hundred and ten large ones merged into a bigger one

It turns out that these leeches can not only split, but also merge!

Seeing the monster grow in size

Rao is surviving high-level card masters have tried their best one by one, except for hindering the progress of this monster's fusion, they don't see the possibility of killing it at all.

In the blink of an eye, the green light in the huge pool converged into one piece, turning into a terrifying devil leech as huge as an aircraft carrier!

It's still getting bigger!

It's not something alchemy salt can stop.

Even the fire dragon breath of the legion leader Herman could only burn a piece of charred paste, but it could not kill it at all.

In nature, the size of a monster is usually proportional to its combat effectiveness.

The little leech just now was not even a first-order, and the leech emperor in front of him already had the terrifying momentum to crush anyone present.

"Black Widow" Heather's expression was also very ugly, and she said in a deep voice: "[Abyss Leech Emperor], I didn't expect this mythical creature to really exist! ”

Herman on the side asked, "Can you kill it?" ”

Heather thought of what was recorded in the ancient book, and said with solemnity in her cloudy eyes: "This is the legendary 'Abyss Undead Creature'. Once it evolves into the 'Leech Emperor', even the dragon can't help it. It can divide infinitely, merge infinitely, and theoretically as long as it has a little body, it will not die or die."

Herman asked, "What then?" ”

Heather said: "It can only be consumed slowly, but it absorbs too much human blood, and I guess we can't consume it." ”

This kind of legendary creature, she has only read some fragments in ancient books, and she does not fully understand it.

Saying this, the expressions of all the high-level card masters froze in unison.

However, in the moment of everyone's communication, the [Leech Emperor] took the lead in attacking!

It resembles a jellyfish, with countless swaying fluorescent tentacles.

In the blink of an eye, this Leech Emperor seemed to have turned into a "giant caterpillar".

Ji Xun looked at those tentacles, and suddenly had a sense of deadly crisis with goosebumps all over his body.

He didn't know the monster, and he didn't know what it was up to.

But the sense of death oppression is like substance.

The size of the monster is too large, and various cards of the Stinger Legion are flying and exploding.

In the explosion of "boom", "whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh", the sound of breaking wind that made people's scalps tingle suddenly sounded.

"Not good!"

"Be careful!"

“.”

A few top-tier card masters noticed something in advance and wanted to be reminded.

But the monster was so large that its tentacles were like tree roots, and they were already everywhere on the second floor of the entire research institute.

Although Ji Xun also keenly captured the crisis, he couldn't think of any way to deal with it at all!

It's like a summer rainstorm, even if you have an umbrella, you can't avoid it.

At an extremely fast speed, Ji Xun watched as the fluorescent tentacles shot out from all directions.

He tried to dodge, but found that there was nowhere to dodge.

Rao used a flying knife to cut off dozens of tentacles, but in an instant, he was pierced through his body by several tentacles.

These tentacles, like the previous leeches, also have the "Broken" attribute.

Ji Xun's body is easily pierced now, let alone others?

At this moment, along with the survivors around him, they were dressed as if they were wearing mutton skewers.

The situation has changed so quickly that there is no need to be prepared.

If you are prepared, you can't help it.

Card masters below the sixth order were wiped out almost instantly.

"No solution!"

Ji Xun quickly deduced all kinds of possibilities in his mind, but he didn't find any chance that he could survive.

He looked at the tentacles that pierced the wound, and his expression was extremely solemn.

Rao is that he has an "immortal curse" and cannot die for the time being.

But what about the back?

However, when he set his eyes on the toad and wanted to put the last hope of breaking the game on this "anchor", something unexpected happened.

On a ring on his right hand, a small blood-colored bat flew out.

Ji Xun looked at his expression for a moment: "Wangcai? ”

A thought popped into his head.

Since the only lethal means for the Devil Leech Emperor to deal with him is to suck blood, and the [God Stealer's Ring]'s artifact spirit "Wangcai" will also suck blood

Which of the two is more powerful?
