Cataclysm King

Chapter 305 Devil Leeches and Corrupt Human Mushrooms

"General, it is not difficult to decipher the code of this room. But the trouble is that the authorization level required is very high, which looks like a bloodline authority restriction. Unless you can find specific 'authorized items', such as identity cards and the like. Otherwise, it may take a long time to crack it.”

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

"Yes, my lord."

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

"It's almost impossible. I used a seventh-level [cutting card] and couldn't leave any trace on this door. The entire room is made of a special alloy, and there are also demigod-level restrictions. I estimate it must be at least a ninth-level Only with the right and left spells can it be possible to destroy the restrictions on the door."

"."

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

The code door in this room cannot be opened, which means they will have to spend a long time here.

Legion commander Heman frowned as he watched.

But I can't think of any other way.

blink of an eye,

At this time, the voodoo master "Black Widow" Heather also picked up a bug and observed it carefully.

Those leeches are like chameleons, able to change colors according to the environment.

The tricky thing is that they are like mosquitoes and you don't feel the bite at all.

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

However, at this moment, Heather, the seventh-level voodoo master, sensed something first and suddenly looked stern: "No, there is something in the water!"

From one worm to two?

It's like a copy, exactly the same!

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

Looking at the poison expert Heather, she felt like she was facing an enemy. Everyone, including the regiment commander Herman, immediately realized that something was wrong.

I don't know if it was because the voice alerted some intelligent beings, but the translucent bugs that were sneaking quietly in the water no longer concealed themselves, and suddenly turned fluorescent.

"Hey, Lao Luo, why is there a bug stuck to your neck? Let me help you pull it off. What's going on? You can't pull it off?"

"."

The insect's broken body was still twisting, showing no signs of death at all, and its wounds were visibly healing.

The next scene sent shivers down everyone's spine.

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

By the time anyone discovered the problem, they had already injected toxins and sucked a lot of blood.

"It can't be killed, it can't be killed at all!"

The people around were not aware of the seriousness of the matter, and were looking for leeches on each other's bodies.

A ghost that has been extinct for a long time, I didn’t expect to see it here!

Some translucent floating creatures appeared in the water at some point.

The light in the research institute is already dim and visibility is very low.

"."

"Damn it, what is this thing? How did it get into my armor? Help me get it out."

A small insect that was harmless to humans and animals just now.

Almost instantly, green fluorescence filled the entire pool.

Everyone in the Hydralisk Legion surrounded the central control room, thinking about how to open the door.

So when people discovered it, everyone had more or less leeches attached to their bodies.

Taking a closer look, I saw countless insects appearing out of nowhere in the water from all directions and rushing toward everyone in the water.

Since Toad has determined that there is a high probability of a "jar" here, they have a reason why they will never give up.

If the number is too large, it will be a fatal threat to the top powerhouses!

As he said this, the seventh-level powerhouse had a ghostly expression on his face, as if he had guessed some terrible consequences, and shouted urgently: "Quick! Everyone, get out!"

"Help! Help me!"

Those adventurers who had no time to react were instantly covered by hundreds of leeches.

This is an ancient demonic insect that can suck the dragon dry.

Everyone was suddenly awakened by this reminder, and all looked towards the water.

They rushed towards everyone in the ruins like a violent rage.

In the blink of an eye, the water up to the waist and thighs seemed to turn into fluorescent color.

Only then did they discover something unusual.

It can break the armor, split and regenerate, making it almost immortal.

He instantly became a deadly killer.

"Mark, it seems you have it on your arms too. No, it's also on your neck and legs."

"Oh damn! Why are there so many bugs!"

"Not good! These leeches have paralyzing toxins and they are sucking blood like crazy!"

Insects can easily bite through the body's protective aura, curse seals, and even dragon scales, sucking blood like crazy.

Anyone immersed in water will be surrounded by insects.

Can't be killed, can't be thrown away.

A worm looked like it had a gash in its body, and blood was pouring out.

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

I could only hear the continuous sound of falling into the water.

Death is like reaping wheat.

Once you fall into the water, you will be instantly enveloped in green fluorescent light, and insects will be injected into your body through your mouth and nose, leaving you with no chance of survival.

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

Everyone has too much time to look after themselves.

On the second floor of the huge research institute, wails and screams could be heard one after another.

"Physical damage is useless, use fire! Alchemical salt, alchemical salt is useful!"

"No, whoever brought too much alchemical salt, please help me."

"Quick! Use fire to drain out the water element!"

"."

The adventurers tried every means, but physical means were almost completely useless.

Even if it is cut into dozens of pieces by the sword energy, those leech fragments can still survive.

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

Apart from being crushed into ash, it is almost impossible to kill.

Even if it is an elemental attack, except for the burning effect of fire, other elemental damage will have very limited damage to this insect.

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

If you really want to use fire to kill insects, you have to burn the people together.

not far away.

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

But even he felt very solemn in his heart.

He expected trouble,

But I never expected there to be so many bugs.

It’s endless!

And these [Abyss Devil Leeches] are different from those encountered outside.

The bloodline here seems to be more advanced and the abilities are weirder.

Unkillable, cut off regeneration, naturally high magic resistance

Ji Xun's pupils dilated and he had a panoramic view of the entire institute.

He also discovered that these bugs did not attack erratically, but first quietly clung to the low-level card masters on the periphery.

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

Ji Xun thought: "Are these insects intelligent?"

Just like ants, individuals may not have complex consciousness, but their groups will have some collective consciousness.

Or, what kind of insect emperor is there?

The voodoo master "Black Widow" Heather obviously knew the origin of this bug better. Looking at the scene in front of her, she was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat.

Just now, Heather thought she could try to clean up the bugs, but after seeing the "wisdom" of the bugs, she immediately realized something was wrong.

Her tone became sharp again, and she shouted loudly: "Quickly retreat! There may be a Leech Emperor!"

If it were just a devil leech that acted on instinct, it wouldn't be a big problem.

But once there is an Insect King, it means

They are not just a swarm of insects, but also individuals!

Hearing this, the legion commander Heman beside her, who had transformed into a fire dragon and breathed fire everywhere, did not even think about fighting. He shook his body and burned a large area of ​​water nearby with a mouthful of dragon flame. When the battle broke out, the power of the dragon swept across the entire space.

However, when Ji Xun saw this, his pupils shrank slightly, and he felt more and more that something was wrong: "This leech's life level is not worse than that of the giant dragon?"

At this moment, the more than ten-meter-long red dragon that Herman transformed into was also covered with fluorescent bugs. Although it was not bitten through the protective field, countless bugs were frantically devouring the energy overflowing from his body.

The most outrageous thing is that Long Wei didn't knock the bug away?

This also means that this devil leech is either not lower than the seventh level, or has a life level similar to that of a giant dragon.

No matter what the situation is, it's not good news for Ji Xun.

Ji Xun quietly left the crowd, thus avoiding the area where the leech army attacked the most violently.

At the same time, because his own blood is contaminated, the bugs will cause discomfort after being absorbed, which also makes it easy for him to detect bugs attached to his body.

The scalpel cuts randomly, but it doesn't matter for the time being.

Ji Xun followed the people around him and ran toward the door on the second floor.

Originally, I wanted to temporarily avoid these ubiquitous insects.

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

As people on the second underground floor tried to run out, people from the first floor shouted to stop them: "Don't go up to the first floor, there are highly toxic spores in the air outside!"

As soon as the two groups of people met, a closer look revealed that a horrific scene was happening to those who were pouring into the second floor of the institute from outside.

As they ran, some granulations were visible on their skin.

Almost instantly, the granules absorb nutrients from the body and turn into colorful mushrooms.

Each one looks like a "mushroom man" from a fairy tale.

There are countless colorful mushrooms growing on its body.

But the more prosperous the mushrooms were, the shriveled up the bodies of those people were.

As he ran, he turned into a mushroom bag that provided nutrients to the mushrooms.

What's even more terrifying is that as they ran, the mature mushrooms also had some dusty spores floating in the air.

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

"Be careful not to expose your mouth and nose for breathing! That monster is a parasitic monster. The hyphae it spreads will parasitize living organisms through breathing and skin."

"."

Someone was still shouting warnings.

But it's too late.

Like a plague, the mycelium of the mushrooms has covered almost every corner of the institute when exposed to the air.

The card master, who had no means of restraint, had no time to call for help before he found mushrooms growing on his skin and in his internal organs.

Those mushrooms are frantically extracting nutrients from the body.

Ji Xun is a qigong master, and his body surface is covered with Gang Qi throughout the process.

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

But others were not so lucky.

Like wheat being cut, people in the ruins fell in large swaths.

Ji Xun couldn't help but feel numb when he saw the thousands of mushroom people coming in. He murmured in his heart: "The Bai family's methods are really evil."

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

They are all plague monsters.

Not to mention how strong it is. But it just gives people a feeling of not knowing where to start.

There is absolutely no way to deal with it except to avoid it.

But the situation now is that there is no escape.

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

Even the camp on the ground may be in a bad situation at the moment.

This situation is irreversible.

With just these two kinds of monsters, only one in a hundred of the hundreds of thousands of adventurers who come to [DP-955 Research Institute] will survive.

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

Apart from the somewhat surprising method, there was nothing surprising about the situation in front of him.

Judging from the current situation, neither mushroom spores nor leeches are fatal to sixth- and seventh-level card masters in a short period of time.

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

He deduced in his mind: "After the sacrifice, those guys from the Bai family should use their big tricks to deal with these high-level card masters in the southern continent. If we don't escape now, we will be in big trouble. Moreover, the main structure of this research institute is so well preserved. It's intact. If the Bai family members come in in advance and gain permission to use it, once the door is closed, they won't be able to escape even if they want to."

If Ji Xun wanted to survive, the best choice was 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 of his methods and arouse suspicion.

the most important is,

The only current opportunity to rescue the toad will be missed.

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

But because the cage is higher than the water surface, and the people from the Holy See used some special means, the leech has not climbed up yet.

At the critical moment of life and death, no one obeyed the prohibition against approaching the iron cage.

Upon seeing this, the nearby adventurers and sergeants also clung to the prison car in order to survive.

There are hundreds of people hanging in a small iron cage.

When Ji Xun saw this, a flash of determination flashed across his eyes, and he decisively chose Aragorn as the "anchor of survival."

Compared with escaping, following the toad may not be riskier.

Thinking together, Ji Xun also took advantage of the chaos and ran over.

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

If you want to rescue the toad, you must first hand it the [Gamil's Master Key].

This is also the only opportunity in the past few days to get so close to the cage.

But those cloaked men from the Holy See were obviously on guard.

They stared carefully at each person on the cage.

Ji Xun didn't dare to expose his flaws.

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

Before Ji Xun could find a chance to hand the card to Toad, at this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of "clicking" and "clicking" gears in the entire space.

"No! The gate to the ruins is closing!"

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

"Escape quickly."

"."

Seeing this, the people in the Southern Continent realized that besides them, there seemed to be other "outsiders" in this ruins.

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

At this time, even the commander of the army, Heman, suddenly felt that something was wrong.

The door was not closed before, so they could move in or out.

But if the ruins were to be sealed, no one could guarantee what would happen.

No one thinks that those who control the closure will have good intentions toward them.

Now, it's either a fight to get out, or you'll die.

Ji Xun also keenly noticed that Heman's eyes looked at those of the people from the Holy See.

As a result, they chose to stay here.

Because they also know that if the "jar" is really in the ruins, those outsiders are likely to come for that thing.

If you go out, you may not know that the jar will still be here the next time you come in.

It was the people from the Hydralisk Legion who chose to stay. In the blink of an eye, the second floor door of the research institute had slowly closed.

The escape route has been blocked.

Ji Xun looked at it, and there was a hint of solemnity and contemplation in his eyes.

This research institute is likely to study alien gods in jars.

The specifications are so high that ordinary people cannot imagine them.

Even if it has been thousands of years, it is not a big problem to trap these card masters who are only at the seventh level.

Ji Xun's eyes kept observing those people from the Holy See.

Those guys didn't seem to show the eagerness they should have if they were trapped to death, which proved that they might have some other trump card.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun was no longer anxious.

The spores have no effect on him for a short period of time.

And although those devil leeches cannot be killed, they cannot be killed all.

But Ji Xun carried a lot of sundries with him.

If he was really going to be surrounded by leeches, at least the "alchemical salt" would be enough for him alone.

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

No matter which one, the current situation is not a desperate situation for him.

However, Ji Xun knew that the crisis was more than that, and he thought in his mind: "What are the people of the Bai family doing to sacrifice these people?"

Just when this idea came up, an unexpected surprise happened.

As everyone watched, some erratic spirits like ghosts slowly appeared in the air.

Although these spirits are all kinds of strange.

But the four most common types are snakes, insects, foxes, and crows.

Ji Xun saw this and murmured: "The four great immortal families of the Bai family."

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

As long as the incense burns, the immortal family will never die.

The people of the Bai family used the souls of hundreds of thousands of people to reunite the spirits of the immortal family that had disappeared in this research institute.

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

During the Tarun period, the immortal family worshiped by the Bai family had combat power comparable to that of gods and demons.

It would be interesting if these descendants of the Bai family awakened an ancient immortal family.

The people of the Hydralisk Legion looked at these phantoms of the Immortal Family, and their expressions were not very good.

But at this time, the trouble is not those newly gathered ancient immortal families.

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 stunned eyes of Ji Xun and the survivors, the green lights gathered together, like a tower of sand, thirty or fifty of them merged into one large leech, and then a hundred or ten large ones merged into an even bigger leech.

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

Seeing the monster getting bigger and bigger

The surviving high-level card masters used all their methods one by one. Apart from hindering the progress of the monster's fusion, they didn't see any possibility of killing it.

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

Still continuing to get bigger together!

This is not something that alchemical salt can stop.

Even Legion Commander Herman's fire dragon breath could only burn it to a crisp, but it couldn't kill it at all.

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

The little devil leech just now was not even at the first level, but the leech king in front of him already had the terrifying aura to crush anyone present.

"Black Widow" Heather also had a very ugly expression, and said in a deep voice: "[Abyss Demonic Leech Emperor], I didn't expect that this kind of mythical creature really exists!"

Heman on the side asked: "Can I kill him?"

Heather thought of what was recorded in the ancient book, and said with solemnity in her turbid eyes: "This is the legendary 'Undead Creature of the Abyss'. Once it evolves into the 'Leech King', not even the giant dragon can do anything about it. It can split infinitely, Infinite integration, in theory, as long as it still has a little body, it will be immortal."

Herman asked: "What should we do?"

Heather said: "We can only consume it slowly, but it has absorbed too much human blood. I guess we may not be able to consume it."

She had only read some fragmentary introductions to this legendary creature in ancient books and did not fully understand it.

After saying this, the expressions of all the high-level card masters froze.

However, during the moment when everyone was communicating, the [Leech Emperor] took the lead in launching an attack!

It looked like a jellyfish, with countless swaying fluorescent tentacles emerging from its body.

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

Ji Xun looked at those tentacles and suddenly felt a fatal sense of crisis with goosebumps all over his body.

He didn't know this monster, and he didn't know what it could do.

But the oppressive feeling of death is like reality.

The size of the monster was so big that all kinds of cards of the Hydralisk Legion flew and exploded randomly.

Amid the "booming" explosions, the "whoosh", "whoosh" and "whoosh" sounds of breaking wind that made people's scalp numb suddenly sounded.

"not good!"

"careful!"

"."

Several top-level card masters noticed something in advance and wanted to remind them.

But the monster was so big that its tentacles were like tree roots and could be found in every corner of the entire second floor of the research institute.

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

Just like a heavy rain in summer, you can't avoid it even if you hold an umbrella.

With great speed, Ji Xun watched the fluorescent tentacles shooting out from all directions.

He wanted to dodge, but found there was nowhere to hide.

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

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

Ji Xun's current body can be easily penetrated, let alone others?

At this moment, together with the survivors around him, they were woven together like mutton skewers.

The situation changed so quickly that people were completely unprepared.

It’s okay to be on guard.

Card masters below level six were wiped out almost instantly.

"No solution!"

Ji Xun quickly deduced various possibilities in his mind, but could not find any chance of surviving.

He looked at the tentacles that penetrated the wound with an extremely solemn expression.

Fortunately, he has the "Immortality Curse" and cannot die for the time being.

But what about behind?

However, just when he turned his attention to Toad and wanted to put his final hope of breaking the game on this "anchor", something unexpected happened.

From a ring on his right hand, a small bloody bat flew out.

Ji Xun's expression turned strange for a moment: "Wangcai?"

An idea suddenly came to his mind.

Since the only fatal method used by the Devil Leech Emperor against him is to suck blood, the weapon spirit "Wangcai" of [God Thief's Ring] will also suck blood.

Which of the two is more powerful?
