"Lazuli what are you doing-no!"
He only had time to let out a scream before the monster opened its upper body and ate up Xim Smurf's head. Then it reassembled itself into the appearance of a Lazuli-Deka, with a solemn expression and a crunching chewing sound coming from its body.
Nothing could be more horrifying than this scene... The entire exploration team rioted in an instant, with gunshots, the sound of swords being unsheathed... Some people threw away the torches in their hands because they thought they were in the way. Light and shadow flickered, curses and screams mixed together, and the fourth floor instantly fell into chaos.
But such resistance is futile.
Hitzfeld looked on indifferently.
She has now confirmed that the blood corpse monster encountered in Senling City is closely related to this fake dragon god. It is very likely its replica, the product of an experiment conducted by it to achieve a certain purpose.
A mere experimental subject was so difficult to deal with that in the end we had to use the power of the natural orb to forcibly fuse it to the wire chair.
Even this didn't kill it, it was still alive, continuing to live in that grotesque form... She didn't think the people here had any means to deal with it.
So that's why there is no record of this incident.
"Fei Che Holy Spring" is intentional.
He came to this valley deliberately and spread the news to attract people.
As long as it can deal with these people and then go out to block the intersection, no one will be able to escape.
Everyone in the valley must die.
This is a tragedy from the past that they cannot prevent.
Chapter 107: Unstoppable Tragedy III
As expected, it was a one-sided battle.
The exploration team tried all methods, chopping with knives, stabbing with swords, shooting with guns, burning with kerosene... But no matter what they did, no matter how hard they tried to hurt the monster, that thing just wouldn't die. It could always recover from a mass of rotten meat that no one could recognize.
Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing could do nothing. They could only watch the show and discuss whether this absolutely abnormal vitality came from the living environment of the ancient virus.
After all, Kyle wrote clearly on the inscription that he dug them out from several thousand meters underground.
The new creatures improved from this virus are no longer as contagious, aggressive, and toxic, but their survival ability has evolved to the point where they are almost indestructible - they all agreed that this is why the monster is so tenacious, and they empathize with the people in the projection, worrying about how to kill it.
Because this is a projection.
The lack of records meant that the weirdos had taken almost everything, he must have survived, and they would probably come to explore this place in a few hours.
So what will they encounter... The internal structure of the Dragon Tomb is no longer a secret to them. They know very well that the only real treasure on the fourth floor is the "new mimicry method" engraved on the stele by Kyle.
This thing requires knowledge of Bologna to understand, and - Hitzfeld just took a rough look at it. This method requires extracting an element from that ancient virus, inactivating it and injecting it into one's body.
It's disgusting, she definitely doesn't want to do that. But the question is, can they tell anyone about this information?
Think about Lazuli... Before entering the fourth floor and seeing the blood fountain, everything in Lazuli could be said to be normal.
Even though he was a little neurotic and even a little idealistic when he quarreled with Heyerle, and even wanted to remove the shackles of all the dragon guards through a single expedition, he was at least still a human being, and his position was still on the side of humans.
However, after seeing the blood fountain, he fainted for a while, and when he woke up, he seemed like a different person. It was as if a certain consciousness hidden in his body was awakened, and he completely became a slave to the monster.
Moreover, his body was also mutated. This should be caused by the virus. Moreover, this process took a long time. It was even possible that it was passed down from that damned Feli-Deka.
Just think about how long it has been…how many generations!
They must be vigilant about this phenomenon: Who knows whether this uncertainty exists in Kaloni, Miranda and others?
If the virus can be passed from Firi-Deka to Lazuli-Deka across generations, then Lazuli's grandfather and his grandfather's grandfather should also be carriers of the virus. It may be transmitted from the mother!
Kaloni's surname is also Deka, and Miranda lived in the Deka family for a long time before revealing her identity. Who can be sure that they are okay?
Even Eugenie and Jerry couldn't say for sure, and with Russell and the Thorn Birds as suspects, this was really the worst situation... They found that there were actually few people in reality who could be trusted.
"At least we know who the enemy is." Xia Yibing comforted the girl, "Your eyes helped a lot."
Not much better.
Hitzfeld couldn't laugh at all.
What's the difference... It seems that they know the truth, but what's the point? They still don't know where the real body of this thing is hiding, and they still don't know what it wants, and what it intends to do to them.
Before watching this projection, she believed Eugenie's words and thought that those monsters were variants of the Mimic... The reason they were seeking treasure was for the Dragon God Fire on the fourth floor, and they wanted to use this thing to repair some biological defect of theirs, most likely their reproductive ability.
But now she knew where this thing came from. It had entered the fourth floor every once in a while over the past hundred years. It should know very well that this damn place had nothing but the "new mimicry method".
Then it is impossible that it was plotting to seize the Dragon Tomb just for the Dragon God Fire. The Dragon God Fire does not exist at all.
If there is any conspiracy, it should be the "new mimicry method".
But can't it come in and out here freely?
Why does it need to rely on the Undead Party to find the key to open the fourth floor?
What a mess… The fourth level itself is already open!
Just as she was thinking about it, a figure suddenly passed through her ghostly body and curled up on the ground in a rather ugly posture.
He glanced down.
Well.
Young Barr.
Hitzfeld suddenly remembered that her initial speculation was not entirely correct. It was not an ending of total annihilation. At least one person escaped, and that person was Bar-Gallant.
How did he do it?
He didn't understand Borunian and didn't even know what mimicry was. So how could he turn into a fire dragon and escape to Sara and wreak havoc for a while?
Footsteps were heard from the front, and soon, Lazuli-Deka came in front of Bal, holding a person.
That's Heiler.
His limbs were torn from his torso, and Lazuli was strangling his neck. Blood from the terrible wounds gathered under his body and turned into a trickle. His face was completely bloodless, and he had almost lost his will to live.
Lazuli's expression remained the same.
Rather, his expression had hardly changed since he woke up from his coma.
He first lifted Haile up and said, "You are the only special one... I will give you one last chance to join us and be reborn."
"You...are...dreaming..."
Heller squeezed out the words from between his teeth.
"When you were little...you fell into a cesspool...I shouldn't have saved you..."
"Then you die!" Lazuli's face suddenly became ferocious, and he strangled his friend's neck with force.
"monster!"
Bal, who was lying on the ground, had already exhausted all his strength. When he saw this scene, his eyes suddenly turned bloodshot. He breathed a sigh of relief from nowhere, struggled to get up, and swung his fists to hit Lazuli.
"boom!"
Then he was kicked in the stomach by the latter, flew five or six meters away, knocked over a tombstone and became motionless.
Xia Yibing watched and shook her head.
Hitzfeld noticed the details: when the tombstone was turned over, the joint in the middle broke directly, and a crack appeared on the base, as if something was hidden inside.
She suddenly opened her one eye wide and stared at Bal without blinking, wanting to know what would happen next.
At this time, the last survivor except Bal was also killed.
That unlucky guy… He ran to the corner in a panic, used kerosene to make a half circle around him, and hid inside after lighting it, thinking that he could delay the enemy for a while. But he didn't expect that the weirdo would directly step over the flames - and in a posture that had not yet recovered its human form.
The general scene was a mass of rotten flesh on fire, crawling towards him, and gradually wrapping him up amid his screams and wails...
Hitzfeld looked at it briefly and then stopped.
She wasn't sure whether the man was scared to death or burned to death.
Now that it had finished processing the food, it was wriggling back into its handsome human form, sucking its fingers as it walked towards this side, and it just happened to see the crack in the tombstone.
It froze.
Hitzfeld and Xia Yibing stared at it, making sure it was in a daze for at least ten seconds, and then heard it say to Lazuli: "Give me what's inside."
Lazuli did as he was told.
But before he had walked half the distance, Bal, who was lying on his stomach, suddenly turned over, lifted the board, and took out the things inside.
That was... Hitzfeld didn't know how to describe it for a moment.
It's thin, as thin as paper.
It is a flat object, about the size of a football, but covered with hollow patterns, similar to paper-cut patterns.
But it's definitely not a paper cut.
She couldn't tell if her feelings were right or not, but...
She thought it was biological tissue.
It's a piece of "meat".
"The structural diagram of the mimicry method..." The weirdo's eyes turned red.
"give it to me."
"I can let you go from here."
Barr smiled at him.
Then he did something that no one expected—he stuffed the thing directly into his mouth and ate it!
"kill him!"
The weirdo screamed.
Lazuli rushed towards Bal quickly, knocked him down, and his body broke into pieces, turning into a monster with a bloody mouth, which bit off half of Bal's body in one bite.
creak creak-
The sound of chewing bones was heard again, but this time, his prey was no longer completely defenseless.
It is impossible for anyone to remain calm after having his right shoulder and most of his right chest bitten off. Bal screamed miserably, and the sharpness of his cry was simply not something a man could make.
Then, without any warning, a raging flame burst out from his mouth, which had grown to its maximum size.
Bear!
The flames enveloped Lazuli's upper body - he was completely defenseless, and as he staggered away from the flames, all of his tissue that had been wrapped in the flames disappeared.
This is no ordinary fire.
The two onlookers stared with their eyes wide open, afraid of missing any details.
As they watched, Bar-Gallant could be described as being in tatters... He was twitching and shaking on the ground, and then his intact left arm suddenly exploded!
boom!
A pale bone at least twenty meters long shot out from the blood mist, attached itself to the nerves and blood vessels at an extremely fast speed, and then spread over the skin and flesh, forming a huge wing that covered the entire body.
Roar!
He continued to spit fire, and the raging flames completely enveloped Lazuli, while blood mist continued to explode around his body.
boom!
boom!
boom!
boom! ! !
In a flash, the situation reversed.
A hideous giant monster rose from the flames and smoke. It had a long neck and tail like a python, and the incomplete right side of its body was completely filled with an equally huge pair of flesh wings. Its head, which resembled a horse, crocodile, and snake, was hideous and crazy. Its entire body was dark red after coagulation of blood, and it was as big as a cargo ship.
Lazuli had been burnt to ashes.
The weirdo was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, a black shadow hit him hard, smashing all his structures into pieces.
It exploded into a stream of blood, like a leather bag filled with liquid bursting open, and foul-smelling pus and blood splattered everywhere.
As if it realized that this opponent was not easy to deal with, it did not return to its human form, but tried to use this form to flow close to the violent fire dragon and erode it in the most direct way.
It succeeded. The fire dragon monster that Baal transformed into seemed to have no reason. After completing the mimicry and transformation, it only knew how to spit fire on the spot, constantly flapping its tail and causing great damage... It successfully climbed onto the hind legs of the fire dragon.
Then Hitzfeld saw it clearly—the fire dragon flapped its wings and temporarily remained in the air, and it shook it off without any hindrance.
