Chapter 519 Infection
In front of Luo Jun, Li Ying's body began to change. The bloodstains from being pierced quickly disappeared, his skin and clothes merged into one, and the chest that was pierced by the fist transformed into two hands grabbing Luo Jun's wrists. After a moment, it became a tall and smooth chaotic creature.

The difference is that this smooth human figure still retains Li Ying's facial features, which, compared with the other smooth parts of the body, exudes an indescribable weirdness.

Looking at the monster in front of him, Luo Jun sneered.

Having Lilith verify Li Ying's authenticity was just a show for Master Yuan. It was the first time he summoned Lilith, and the ability to verify souls was just nonsense he made up to coax his master.

Luo Jun could see that Yuan Lao was still somewhat sentimental. Even if he asked Lilith to judge that Li Ying was suspicious, Yuan Lao might not be so cruel. He might even suspect that Luo Jun had done something wrong in the judgment. After all, Luo Jun had always suspected Li Ying, and it was entirely possible that he had used the summons to forcefully accuse Li Ying.

So Luo Jun simply did the opposite and let Lilith say that Li Ying was fine, so that in Yuan Lao's eyes, Luo Jun's doubts about Li Ying were dispelled. After that, although Luo Jun never relaxed his attention on Li Ying, on the surface, his doubts had been eliminated, knowing that they would split up here, and naturally got the opportunity to be alone with Li Ying.

Since there is no way to make Mr. Yuan believe that there is something wrong with Li Ying, then let's just execute him first and report later while Mr. Yuan is away.

"My disguise should be good enough. How did you find out that there was something wrong with me?" Li Ying, who was in monster state, looked at Luo Jun. His voice still had the flavor of Li Ying, but it was obviously much hoarser.

"It's my intuition." Luo Jun looked at Li Ying's face and laughed.

"Just because of this?" Monster Li Ying was also a little surprised, and the expression on his face was very vivid. If it weren't for his smooth and weird body, he would look really like Li Ying.

"What else?" Luo Jun said jokingly, "You can just say I don't like you."

"It seems that you haven't realized the seriousness of the problem." Monster Li Ying sneered, "I didn't intend to take action against you, but you actually took advantage of being alone with me to expose it. You are too bold."

As it spoke, the hands that were holding Luo Jun's wrists suddenly began to liquefy, spreading upwards along Luo Jun's arms, and in an instant wrapped around Luo Jun's entire body.

"Hmph, a human who doesn't know his own limitations..." The monster Li Ying had a sarcastic smile on his face, but soon, that smile turned into surprise.

"This is……"

Before he finished his words, there was a loud bang, and the semi-liquid tissue wrapped around Luo Jun suddenly exploded, revealing Luo Jun who was wrapped in Ning Yuan Gang Qi.

"What's wrong with your energy?" Monster Li Ying looked incredulous: "It looks so thin, why is it so hard?"

Luo Jun looked at the monster Li Ying with a sneer on his face: "I heard that you are immune to physical attacks? But sorry, I only know how to use physical attacks!"

As he spoke, Luo Jun took a step forward, with his fist wrapped in a strong energy, and hit the monster right in the face!

boom!
There were no fancy special effects, just pure violence. As the huge force was unleashed, the kinetic energy that had nowhere to vent blew the monster's entire head into pieces. There were even signs of burning on the broken neck!

Luo Jun certainly doesn’t have the ability to use fire, but his energy is strong enough that even the most direct blow can produce extremely high temperatures!
The monster had lost its head but was still alive. Its limbs began to deform and turned into four sharp long swords, which stabbed at Luo Jun together.

Luo Jun changed his fist into a palm, and the condensed energy at his fingertips turned into a sharp blade. With a light wave, he cut off the monster's long sword, and then with another vertical chopped, he cut the monster in half lengthwise.

The monster's body was split into two halves, and suddenly they moved separately, turning into two smaller monsters that attacked Luo Jun from both sides.

It can't be killed even if it's split in half. This thing is really hard to deal with.

However, Luo Jun was not in a hurry to end the battle. He had the Ningyuan Qi to protect his body. He dealt with the monster while testing the opponent's ability.

This kind of chaos monster is rarely encountered. Currently, it can only be killed by elemental and energy attacks, and physical means are almost ineffective. With this opportunity, Luo Jun just wants to feel out its characteristics and see how strong the physical attack it can withstand.

In this way, sometimes he chopped it with a knife, sometimes he hit it with his fists. Under Luo Jun's hands, the monster was like a sandbag for venting, being rolled and flattened and ravaged. After nearly ten minutes, the monster finally collapsed in the corner due to exhaustion and would not move again.

"I see..." Luo Jun moved his wrist. "The body can change its shape at will. After splitting, it can also move autonomously under the control of the main brain, but it must meet a certain mass. At present, it must be at least one-third of the total mass before it can move autonomously. In other words, it can only be divided into three parts at most."

"Furthermore, after the split, the power and speed of each clone has been greatly reduced. In a one-on-one battle, the overall threat is actually less than that of the combined state."

"The small pieces of flesh that were cut off have no ability to move. Unless they are absorbed by the main body, they are just dead meat. Repairing the body and changing the form will obviously consume energy. If you keep attacking physically, even if you can't cause fatal injuries, your energy will be exhausted over time and you will become the current state."

As he spoke, Luo Jun looked down at the monster that looked like a puddle of mud.

"You are definitely not an ordinary student!" Li Ying's face appeared on the mud again: "You are not an elementalist, you should be a martial artsist. I'm afraid you have close to the peak of your strength! You have been hiding your strength all the way. Who are you?"

"Close to the peak?" Luo Jun laughed: "It seems that I am really underestimated." Then he raised his fist: "The intelligence is almost there, and it's time to explain some problems."

"Tell me, how did you disguise yourself as Li Ying? What is the purpose of you chaotic creatures?"

“Hahaha…” The mud laughed mockingly: “You are indeed very powerful, but so what? You will never be able to get out of this maze!”

Seeing that this guy was adamant, Luo Jun simply used the dice to extract information.

"Ding, this event is an inevitable event and cannot be determined. The number of dice rolls is reduced by one."

"Huh?" Luo Jun was stunned. Is this an inevitable event?

If it is not certain to succeed, then it is certain to fail?

Is this guy so stubborn that he can't even pry the dice open?

No, as long as they can communicate, even if the probability is one in ten thousand, it cannot be determined as an inevitable event. It is bound to fail, which means that there is probably something restricting it... Is it the mission rules? Or something else?
Whatever it is, since we are sure we won't get any information from it, there's no need to keep it.

Luo Jun raised his hand, and the Ning Yuan Qi slowly condensed.

"You can't kill me with physical attacks alone..." The monster looked at Luo Jun, looking fierce on the outside but weak on the inside.

Luo Jun smiled and shook his head, his Qi condensed into an invisible sharp blade: "Less than one-third of the minced meat will be unable to move on its own. So as long as I cut you into small enough pieces, you will be dead, right?"

"That will just make me silent at best!" The monster gritted his teeth and said, "When the right opportunity comes, I will be resurrected again!"

"That's right..." Luo Jun nodded: "Then let's try another way."

As he spoke, he clenched his hand knife into a fist, and the aura attached to it suddenly expanded. "As long as it is fast enough and strong enough, even a stone hitting the ground can explode with the power of a nuclear bomb." Luo Jun stared at the monster. "Since I came in, I have been restrained. Now I can finally see how solid this maze is!"

As he said that, he gathered up his strength and punched down hard!

"boom!!!"

"what happened?"

The few people who had just opened the treasure chest suddenly felt an earth-shaking sensation, as if a bomb had exploded deep in the maze.

"The ground and walls of the maze are beginning to shake. This has never happened before." Zhuge Zi frowned and said, "Something big must have happened."

"In that direction!" Mao Xintong raised her finger and said, "The vibration came from over there."

"You can feel this?" Ma Qiao said in surprise, "I just felt that suddenly, the ground and the wall began to shake together."

"There is still a slight difference." Mao Xintong said: "It's hard to explain to you, but the senses of the Insight School can roughly detect the source of the vibration."

"Wait, that direction..." Sun Xiaowei suddenly said, "Isn't that the direction Luo Jun went? Could they have encountered some scary monsters?"

"No... No way..." Ma Qiao was sweating a little: "Look at the map, the monster point is quite far away from our treasure chest point. What level of monster must it be to be able to travel so far across such a solid maze? Xiao Luo is not dead, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Sun Xiaowei glared at him and said, "My junior is so smart, he will definitely be able to get out of this dangerous situation!"

"There are no signs of further movement after the shaking stopped..." Mao Xintong lay on the ground and listened with her ear to the ground for a while: "At present, I can't feel any other movement... Let's go back and meet up with the others and see Elder Yuan first."

Several people immediately set off and returned to the intersection of the square, only to find that Luo Jun was already waiting there.

"You're back?" Sun Xiaowei asked in surprise, "Are you okay?"

"Thanks to my senior, I came back alive." Luo Jun replied.

Ma Qiao was surprised and said, "I didn't expect you to be faster than us? There was such a huge vibration just now, did you feel it?"

"I felt it." Luo Jun nodded: "But it seems that the epicenter is farther away..."

"By the way, where is Li Ying?" Mao Xintong asked, "Isn't he with you?"

Mentioning this, Luo Jun sighed, then took out a gold ingot.

At the same time, deep in the fork in the road that Luo Jun had chosen before, the original dead end had suddenly opened up. A huge hole appeared on the wall that was more than one meter thick, spreading all the way to the ground to form a large pit. In the pit, semi-liquid lava could be seen, and Li Ying, who had been slumped in the corner of the wall, was no longer alive...

But as time goes by, the big hole that was blasted out is recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. It is estimated that it will be back to its original state in a few minutes.

"What? Died together with the Chaos monster?"

On this side of the square, four people looked at Luo Jun in surprise.

Luo Jun nodded with pretended regret: "Yes, we just killed the gargoyle, and suddenly a chaos monster came out from nowhere. It was very difficult for the two of us to defeat it. In the end, Senior Brother Li Ying was swallowed by the monster to protect me. At the last moment, he used some treasure to self-destruct and died together with the monster... Not even a corpse was left, and only this gold ingot was brought back by me."

After hearing Luo Jun's description, several people showed expressions of regret.

"By the way, haven't Master Yuan and the others come back yet?" Luo Jun looked in the direction of the fork in the road where his master left.

"That's right. With Master Yuan here, it should be easy to deal with the monster." Sun Xiaowei looked at Mao Xintong: "Sister Mao, how about you use that talisman paper to contact them?"

"No need, they are back." Mao Xintong shook her head and looked towards the intersection. At the same time, Luo Jun on the side also frowned and ran towards the intersection.

This sound of footsteps... isn't right!

When they arrived at the intersection, they saw from a distance that not far away, Yuan Lao was supporting Ling Jian and walking back...

No, it’s not Ling Jian!
Luo Jun's pupils suddenly dilated.

The one that Elder Yuan was supporting looked like Ling Jian, but something was clearly wrong. There were signs of liquefaction in several parts of his body. As he walked, he was trembling slowly, as if if he stamped his feet even a little, he would fall off like mud...

Why is this state somewhat similar to those chaos monsters?

What's even stranger is that although Ling Jian can walk on his own, his eyes are closed and he doesn't say a word, as if apart from instinctive movements, he has no reaction to the outside world at all.

Luo Jun quickly ran over and said, "Master... Master Yuan, what happened? Ling Jian..."

Mr. Yuan waved his hand: "Let's talk about it when we get back..."

Several people returned to the square. Others were shocked to see Ling Jian's condition and asked what was going on.

Elder Yuan placed Ling Jian on the ground, looked at him motionless, and sighed: "Ling Jian seems... to be infected."

"Infected?" Several people were stunned: "Infected by what?"

"A chaotic creature?" Luo Jun narrowed his eyes. He thought of Li Ying just now. It was obvious that a part of Ling Jian's body was transforming into a chaotic creature in this maze, and Li Ying was obviously in a state of complete transformation.

But why? They were all infected by Chaos Creatures, but he could detect Li Ying with the dice, but not Ling Jian?

Luo Jun suddenly remembered that when he verified Ling Jian, Ling Jian had just killed a chaotic creature. If he was infected in the battle with the chaotic creature, then at that time, he had not changed yet, so he was still the "real Ling Jian". But Li Ying, it was obvious that he had been infected for who knows how long, and he was no longer the "real Li Ying".

But the question is, how did they get infected? If I also fought against the Chaos creatures, would I also be infected?
