Chapter 661: Lake of Flesh and Blood

"Lord Lindsay?"

Levi just turned back after notifying the news.

Seeing Lindsay's expression at the moment, he asked with concern:
"You look like this... Is the enemy's ambush ahead very dangerous?"

"Danger?" Lindsay's expression was subtle and his tone was a little hesitant. "What's ahead of us may not be dangerous. It's hard to say whether there is an ambush or not."

Lindsay led the team forward.

He opened the map on the way and followed the instructions of the Sky Compass to find the hidden space.

The situation is different from the previous hidden space.

On the northeast side of the huge cave, there is a large sunken basin. The hidden space is marked in the basin. There are no spatial tricks or puzzle hints to enter it.

"What is it this time?"

In the hot and dark underground tunnel, Lindsay led the team forward about 1 kilometer. The diameter of the tunnel ahead finally began to expand at this time.

Lindsay was at the front of the group.

He immediately saw the huge underground cave he had been scouting for, and there were several low-level Aberrants wandering around nearby.

"Roar--"

A roar sounded.

When the deformed creatures noticed the movement here, they staggered towards this side, trying to attack and devour the flesh and blood of the living.

"Humph--"

Lindsay didn't even have to do anything.

Levi behind him snorted coldly and activated his skill.

The rapid sound waves turned into invisible sharp blades, and the moment they touched the enemy, they made the deformed ones fall to the ground and lose their breath instantly.

"..."

"This strength is too weak?"

Levi was a little surprised, but Lindsay continued to lead the team forward.

The ground in the cave has been leveled by humans, and streets and buildings can be seen nearby.

The torches that Lindsay and his companions brought were cut into pieces by the buildings and streets, but the light shuttled around, as if gradually alarming the city that was killed by the plague.

"Sniff——"

Lindsay wrinkled her nose.

His keen senses detected a faint smell of blood in the air here.

The direction from which the smell came was exactly to the northeast where the hidden space was located.

At this moment, the mighty Zerg army was still marching through the desolate city. Levi, who was eager for revenge, could no longer hold back his expression, so he took the initiative to ask Lindsay:

"Master Lindsay, this... isn't right?"

"Since entering this cave, we have only killed a few low-level Deformers. We haven't encountered any decent opponents at all."

"This is their base camp!"

"Could it be that they have set up some hidden traps and ambushes here!?"

Lindsay shook her head slightly:

"Like you, I didn't notice anything."

"The most likely scenario now is that they learned of our arrival and fled on their own initiative."

"..."

Levi was speechless for a moment.

He had already made plans to settle all the grudges today.

But when we got here, we heard that the enemy had run away.

He felt like a pedestrian running forward in a rainstorm, looking for a place to take shelter. The shelter was right in front of him, and the sky suddenly cleared up at this moment.

He stood there, soaked all over, feeling angry, ridiculous, and helpless.

"Levi, let the swarm disperse."

Lindsay patted Levi on the shoulder and began to give orders.

When the army walked in here, they still did not encounter an ambush by the mutants.

So excluding other possibilities, the final answer is reality - the deformed one really ran away.

"There are still some low-level deformed people wandering around in the village. Go and deal with them one by one. I will go to the northeast to check. You can come over later." Levi immediately looked up, as if looking for some hope:

"Northeast?"

Lindsay replied directly:

"Smell carefully, there is a faint smell of blood in the air, the source is over there."

"..."

The human awakeners and the Zerg began to clean up the remaining deformers in the city, while investigating the city to find things that the enemy had missed.

Lindsay, on her own, headed to the northeast corner of the city.

That's also where the hidden space is located.

Lindsay walked alone through the empty city streets underground.

Based on his knowledge of architecture, although the planning of the city here was sloppy, it did have a certain sense of design.

The Deformers have built this city carefully.

Then it is absolutely impossible to give it up without extraordinary reasons.

"Is our arrival really enough of a reason for them to abandon the city and flee?"

Lindsay continued to move forward in thought.

A few minutes later.

In the northeast of the cave.

He stopped and an expression of disgust and nausea immediately appeared on his face.

There is indeed a basin here, but what you can't see on the map is that the basin has been filled.

In an underground depression with a diameter of one hundred meters.

The bloody broken limbs and [corruption poison] mixed into a pool of water, turning this place into a horrific scene like a picture scroll from hell.

The faint smell of blood in the city also originated from here.

It was only because of the power of the [Corruption Poison] that restricted the smell of flesh and blood, so the entire cave was not as smelly as imagined.

"What is this thing used for?"

Lindsay had a hard time understanding the Aberrant's mindset.

He didn't want to study this kind of thing, so he directly switched out of the [Puzzle Game] module.

[Lake of Flesh and Blood - After encountering a target that is difficult to infect, the Deformers build a Lake of Flesh and Blood to decompose and assimilate the things thrown into it, helping to reproduce and strengthen the [Corruption Poison].

Note: The life form that provided energy for this lake of flesh and blood was on the verge of death, so it was abandoned. 】

"Seal? Assimilate?"

See these two words.

Taking another look at the hidden space on the map, Lindsay had an idea.

"Is there something that the Deformers have difficulty handling, so they put it here?"

"We specially built such a large area, and spent the flesh and blood that the Deviants regarded as 'resources', just to slowly extract the opponent's power to nourish the [Corruption Poison]..."

Lindsay figured out the whole story and immediately called Levi over to give him instructions:

"Levi, bring the [Withered Tyrant Flower] seeds we prepared and drain this lake of flesh and blood!"

Levi obeyed and left, gathering the seeds brought by the troops.

Lindsay stayed where he was, looking at the lake of flesh and blood in front of him, and naturally thought of the description that 'the life form that provides energy is on the verge of death'.

[Withered Queen Flower] absorbs [Corruption Poison] quickly.

But a lake of flesh and blood of this size would probably have to go through several planting cycles. It would take almost 10 days or half a month to drain it dry.

Lindsay herself doesn't mind the wait.

But the goal in this hidden space...

"At a time like this, there's no need to hesitate!"

Lindsay walked to the edge of the bloody lake.

He equipped [Eternal Mark], activated Rock Skin, and then put [Nautilus] in the accessories column.

Then he leaped forward.

With a 'plop' sound, Lindsay's figure disappeared in the lake of flesh and blood.
