Chapter 164 Ambush from the Fallen Ghost Camp
Chapter 164 Ambush from the Fallen Ghost Camp
“No wonder the target of the crusade mission is the Mad Attack Poison Butterfly. It turns out that there is a Blood and Tear Crystal Spring hidden here!”
After the fallen demon leader turned to ashes and died, everyone followed the mission requirements and collected a handful of his corpse’s ashes as evidence of a successful crusade.
Feng Ling’s voice attracted everyone’s attention.
The group went forward to take a closer look and found that the nest of the poisonous butterflies, which was the giant flower woven with white silk threads, had a stem that was a tree formed by the condensation of mineral veins.
However, the branches of this mineral tree are bare, covered with tangled and intertwined white silk nets, and no blood-tear crystals grow as fruits.
“It looks like the last cycle of blood-tear crystals have been picked and harvested, and the next wave has not yet grown.” Chris thought for a moment and said, “Let’s look around. Maybe we can find the blood-tear crystals that the Violent Attack Poison Butterfly has collected.”
The battle just now was extremely dangerous. He did not charge into the front line, but stayed by Iris’ side the whole time according to Li Nanke’s arrangement to protect the most important healer in the team.
Li Nanke let everyone clean up the battlefield while he immersed his mind into “self”.
A large amount of source energy was obtained by killing the fallen ghost leader.
According to his previous slightly obsessive-compulsive style, he would first fill up the half-upgraded human essence ‘Alchemy’, then fill up the human trait ‘Thunder’, and finally upgrade the animal essence ‘Angel’.
But now the dream is a faction killing mode, and the danger factor is greatly increased compared to a single-player dream.
Now their camp is at a disadvantage against the undead, and due to the reduction in numbers, they are ranked last and are in a position to be eliminated.
He must adjust the upgrade order of the main traits and set the main quality “Angel” that can maximize the combat power as the first priority.
And for some reason, after killing the poisonous butterfly, Li Nanke’s premonition of danger did not fade away, as if there was another great danger lurking nearby.
As soon as this thought came to mind, a surge of energy flowed towards the animal-like ‘Angel’.
The huge source energy is enough to fill up half of the second-level characteristics, but can only make the third-level main substance in the image of wings flash a little.
[Main substance: Angel]
[Level: Level 0 → Level 1 (12%)]
As the level of the ‘Angel’ increases, a powerful azure energy bursts out from the main substance.
Energy rushes between the meridians and bones, and flows through the blood, flesh and skin.
The strong body that Li Nanke once took pride in became like a dry and cracked Gobi desert in front of this azure energy. It seemed lifeless and dead silent.
His body urgently needs the nourishment of rain and dew, and needs rich and fertile nutrients to fill the earth.
The essence energy that is purer, more original and higher-level than ordinary self-element irrigates the body, and the vast energy fills every corner of the body.
If you observe Li Nanke’s flesh and blood body at a microscopic level, you will find that every cell in his body is cheering and growing strong under the infusion of his self-essence.
He stood there with his eyes lowered, as if taking a nap.
If you look closely at his irises, you can see that his eyes have suddenly taken on a strange blue color.
This azure color can produce a primitive thrill in people, as if lower creatures have caught a glimpse of the supreme great existence.
Others had no way of noticing the earth-shaking changes taking place inside his body, nor could they discover that his physical body was being strengthened and improved at an extremely terrifying speed.
The cracks on the cracked ground are repairing rapidly, and the dry land is visibly turning into fertile soil.
No, it’s not just about watering.
The desert will become an oasis after becoming fertile, but it is still a human area and there is no essential change.
Li Nanke had a feeling that when the land was fertile enough, it would undergo fundamental changes, or dimensional changes.
The land will rise to become the kingdom of heaven, or fall into the underworld, or turn into a floating fairy island… The reflection on the physical body is the evolution of the essence of life.
There are too many possibilities for evolution, and each possibility stems from one’s own wishes.
Just as Li Nanke was enjoying the rapid strengthening of his body, the irrigation and strengthening of the angel’s self-essence came to an abrupt halt.
“This is too short and too fast…”
The feeling of rapidly increasing physical strength was irresistible, and the sudden interruption at this moment made people feel uncomfortable all over, as if ants were crawling on them.
Li Nanke understood that this was because the main substance ‘Angel’ was only upgraded to the next level.
Although the overall physical enhancement was interrupted, the upgraded special enhancement prayer was still retained.
There are various aspects of special enhancement, including wings, tentacles, horns, limbs, lifespan, muscles, bones, internal organs, nerves, etc. You can choose one of these special enhancements to pray for.
This feeling was very strange, like wings. When Li Nanke thought about it, he felt the shoulder blades on both sides of his back were sore and itchy, as if something was about to grow out.
If you choose to pray for wings, you will probably grow a pair of chicken wings from your back.
From a practical point of view, special wishes such as wings that can gain the ability to fly are very good.
However, Li Nanke has always been resistant to things like wings and tentacles. If he can choose freely, he will not choose these non-human limbs.
Moreover, the extraordinary people of the physical system do not need to rely on anything else. They only need to implement the concept of “force” more deeply and they can also have the ability to fly.
With this in mind, Li Nanke went further and further on the road of powerful strength.
“Muscles… pray for them to strengthen!”
In an instant, the main substance ‘Angel’ responded to the prayer! The essence of self-element burst out from the main substance ‘Angel’ again.
This azure energy no longer irrigates every corner of the body indiscriminately like before, but only strengthens the muscle fibers, making each muscle fiber thicker and stronger, and each muscle tissue denser…
When the prayer enhancement ended, Li Nanke’s body shape did not change much, but the power he could burst out was greatly improved.
Li Nanke felt the powerful force surging in his body and estimated that it had increased by at least 20% to 30% compared to before the targeted strengthening.
This is just one level of directional enhancement. The angel essence has ten upgrade opportunities, and the last directional enhancement has an exceptionally huge increase.
“The third-level main essence is so powerful, I wonder what the fourth-level main essence will be like…”
As a group of Nightmares were cleaning up the battlefield, Li Nanke’s sense of crisis became worse and worse.
He strode towards the edge of the rooftop as if he had sensed something, and looked into the distance. He saw a huge gray wave sweeping rapidly towards him among the tall buildings.
At the same time, the shadow with the strongest mental power in the nightmare suddenly changed his expression, and he obviously noticed something and quickly came to the edge of the rooftop.
The gray waves sweeping over the streets in the distance turned out to be fallen ghosts with hideous faces and bloodshot eyes. The number of them was difficult to predict!
“Enemy attack!”
The shadow’s angry shouts resounded throughout the top of the building, and the nightmares’ faces changed drastically when they saw such a horrifying scene.
The strength of a single fallen ghost is not to be feared, but when faced with such a terrifying army of fallen ghosts, let alone the presence of ten nightmares, even if the number of nightmares on one’s side is doubled, they will still be drowned in the sea of fallen ghosts.
All the fallen ghosts in the area previously disappeared, which made the Nightmares feel abnormal and became alert.
Therefore, two undead natives were arranged to guard the vehicles and keep watch at the entrance of the building.
I didn’t expect that the enemy would gather into such a large number silently and rush here all at once.
“This is most likely the nightmare from the enemy camp causing trouble in secret!” Shadow said gritting his teeth.
“I’ll go down first to protect the vehicle. You guys hurry to the bottom of the building as fast as you can… run!”
Li Nanke let out a low roar, and relying on his extremely strong physique, he actually jumped directly down from the rooftop that was hundreds of meters high!
The wind whistled in my ears, and the scenery on the street below became bigger and bigger.
One hundred meters…
Eighty meters…
Fifty meters…
Twenty meters!
As the free fall was about to approach the ground, he flipped his wrist and the Thunder Judgment sword pierced into the concrete outer wall.
Countless sparks flew from the weathered and cracked exterior wall of the building, leaving a deep sword mark.
“Boom!”
The concrete floor collapsed and cracked, and a powerful figure descended from the sky and knelt on one knee with a huge sword in his hand.
Li Nanke has crossed a vertical distance of hundreds of meters and appeared on the street on the ground floor of the building!
Behind him was his own off-road vehicle team and two undead guarding the vehicles, and in front of him was an endless army of fallen demons surging like a tide…
Li Nanke’s eyes were cold, he raised the huge sword in his hand high up to the sky, and violent electric light shot out and spread.
The metal electrodes at the sword’s spine rotated and deformed, and the sharp blades on both sides became sharp spear heads, until the entire sword turned into a spear wrapped in thunder and lightning.
He held a spear in his right hand and a war hammer in his left.
Facing the ferocious faces rushing towards him, Li Nanke turned around and said coldly: “If you two dare to drive away, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
The undead who had already started the car was hesitant and struggling, and finally he sighed silently and took his hands off the steering wheel.
The other undead looked at the oncoming army of fallen ghosts in horror, and ignored Li Nanke’s words. He stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and was about to turn the car around and escape.
“boom!”
The thunder spear cut through the sky, dragging a surging lightning that shattered the windshield and nailed the undead who wanted to drive away to the seat.
The spear pierced his heart, causing the undead’s eyes to widen and quickly turn into ashes, and also caused the off-road vehicle used as a means of escape to stay where it was.
Several blue threads spread out from the gloves on Li Nanke’s hands, wrapping around the Thunder Spear
He stretched out his hand and pulled, and the spear was pulled away from the seat and returned to his hand.
At this moment, the fallen ghosts running in the front were only a few dozen steps away from Li Nanke, and the roars and screams of the monsters were close at hand…
He reached out and pulled again, pulling out a thin, black-haired boy from the void.
“Pinocchio, let’s hold this place.”
“Yes! Boss!”
The puppet boy remained calm and composed, looking at the incoming army of fallen demons without panicking at all, and his metal left arm immediately transformed into a flamethrower of the ‘Flame of the King’.
Facing endless fallen ghosts, even someone as strong as Li Nanke would surely die on the spot if he fought for a long time.
But now he must hold on here, otherwise the number of casualties on his side will increase again.
“Want to wipe out the nightmare of our undead side? Let’s see if you can survive from my hands first!”
A rich blood light burst out, and the bloody hammer smashed down towards the army of thousands of fallen ghosts!
