Chapter 444: Killing the Embryo

Lu Mingfei didn't know how many snake-like deadpools escaped from the water tank, but the initial estimate was that there were at least hundreds of them.

Three people fighting against hundreds of deadpools seemed like a suicidal act, but in fact, the battle was much easier than they had thought before.

In Chu Zihang's imagination, the three of them fought side by side with knives and cut a bloody path through the group of deadpools. For this, he was ready for blood and 卐解, but just as he was ready, he found that the number of deadpools chasing them was pitifully small.

At most, the number did not exceed ten. He chopped four with a knife, and Lu Mingfei and Caesar chopped three each, just enough to solve all of them. The remaining deadpools turned around and went deep into the palace because of some inexplicable attraction.

Although their feet had been deformed into tails, their bodies were extremely flexible. They twisted their bodies like snakes and disappeared from their sight in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the water slowly receding in the corridor in front of them, they looked at each other and chased after it without saying too much.

...Although there was no evidence, they could feel that some subtle changes had occurred in the depths of the palace.

Unlike the brightly lit front half of the palace, the back half was shrouded in a dead silence of darkness. In addition to the changes in the surrounding environment, Lu Mingfei and his team could clearly feel the drop in temperature in the air.

The temperature in Nibelungen was originally lower than outside, and now that they had chased to the depths of the palace, the surrounding temperature had dropped drastically, from more than ten degrees to several degrees below zero.

When passing a corner, Chu Zihang suddenly tilted his body, and at the same time, he swung the Murasame in his hand upwards to block. With a sound of metal interlacing, he was actually pushed back several meters by the huge force from the tip of the knife, and then hit the wall heavily.

He blocked the knife, but failed to block the opponent's kick. The kick made him feel like he was hit by a huge siege wood in the chest, and his sternum and ribs made a sound of breaking. The impact even made his heart stop for a moment.

After the attack, the attacker chose to pursue the victory without hesitation. Before Caesar and Lu Mingfei could react, the assassin who had been lurking in the shadows for a long time rushed towards Chu Zihang again, without even looking at them.

"The man on the radio just now..."

As this thought flashed through their minds, Lu Mingfei and Caesar hurried back to defend, and just managed to force the opponent back before he chopped off Chu Zihang's head.

But what surprised them was that although they clearly hit the opponent with their swords, the sound coming from the opponent was like the sound of steel touching. The opponent was unharmed after two consecutive knives, but they were shocked to the point that their wrists were numb.

At this time, Chu Zihang finally recovered, stood up and leaned against the wall with the two of them.

——This unknown attacker is much more powerful than they imagined.

Caesar's word spirit is Kamaitachi, and he is the one with the best hearing among the three of them. In order to prevent the possible sneak attack of Deadpool in the dark, he has started the word spirit at the beginning. In this state, he can even hear other people's heartbeats and breathing clearly.

But when the opponent launched that attack, even he did not hear any sound. If Chu Zihang had not reacted quickly, his head would probably have been chopped off by the opponent.

The strength of this attacker is far beyond their expectations.

What makes Caesar frown even more is that even if the opponent has now revealed his figure, he can't hear any sound from the opponent, breathing, heartbeat, blood flow... nothing.

If he hadn't seen the vague black shadow with his naked eyes, he would never think that there would be a person there based on the feedback from the sound.

...Some kind of word spirit that can completely restrain its own voice?

Taking a deep breath, Caesar clenched the Dick Tudo in his hand.

He knew a similar word spirit, [Nether Light], but this word spirit concealed the body and could not cover the sound, while the unknown word spirit of the other party was completely the opposite. The sound and shape could not be concealed, but all the sounds it made would be completely restrained.

In such a dark environment, the other party's ability was simply a natural assassin. Once the other party re-entered the darkness, they had almost no counter-attack ability.

But what the three of them did not expect was that after being forced to retreat, the other party did not intend to hide in the darkness again, but walked in front of them at an unhurried pace.

When the other party's face was completely exposed to the three of them, even Chu Zihang's face changed slightly at the same time.

What appeared in front of them was a monster whose most of the body had been mechanized, but the strange thing was that in these mechanical devices on the other party, flesh and blood were born out of thin air.

With the help of the faint light coming from the corridor, Lu Mingfei and the others could see clearly that it was not a machine loaded on flesh and blood, but real flesh and blood that grew out of thin air on the machine. If they looked closely, they could even see the beating of the nerves.

They had seen this situation once before on the wreckage of the Lenin in the depths of the abyss. After the Lenin was eroded by the embryo, flesh and nerves began to grow out of the hull of the Lenin. What they saw now was exactly the same as what they saw on the Lenin.

——The only difference is that this strange change happened to one person.

"Did you see it? This is the bright evolution that occurred after the fusion of the two civilizations."

Raising his head, the attacker looked at them grimly, or to be more precise, at Chu Zihang.

"I can become like this, but it's all thanks to you. God has eyes, and you really fell into my hands."

Like the situation on his body, his face was also replaced by machines. At least 3/4 of the area on his face was replaced by an iron mask with flesh and blood, and one eye was replaced by a mechanical eye. The flesh-and-blood nerves were wrapped around the mechanical artificial eye and then pulled out of the eye socket.

If it was just a simple mechanical transformation, it wouldn't be so scary, but the blood and flesh and machinery growing randomly and entangled together, making the other person exude a disgusting and weird smell.

With this appearance, no matter which horror movie, he can definitely be the most hated monster.

"Looking for you, when did you offend such a pervert?"

Pushing Chu Zihang with his shoulder, Caesar looked subtle.

"...I don't know him."

After looking up and down at the guy in front of him, Chu Zihang shook his head.

"I guess the other party recognized the wrong person. If I offend someone, I usually choose to kill the root and there will be no survivors. I am still a little confident in this point."

Caesar: "..."
