As the electric snake drew near, it instantly transformed into thousands of tiny ants, chasing after Si Zang's retreating steps.
Until he stepped on a pebble, Si Zang used his strength to jump to the other side.
Throughout the ordeal, his eyes remained fixed on the runes the sorceress had painted on the scarred man's body. Several of them were unfamiliar and eerie, causing him to hesitate to stop the attack.
At this moment, Lin Feng stepped closer, his entire body radiating demonic power as he blocked Si Zang's path, allowing countless lightning ants that turned and crawled towards him to cover his entire body and burrow into his eyes.
"Whatever?!" Shizang exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Feng waved his hand without making any move, and simply said, "A blinding move, not lightning."
"Ha! You actually lied to me?!" Upon hearing this, Si Zang immediately glared back fiercely.
At this moment, the old man laughed sinisterly, and then pulled out a Bagua diagram from behind the sorceress, drawing a series of trigrams on it with the zombie powder he had previously used: "The hexagram of Obstruction has reached its extreme, with disharmony between superiors and inferiors, and all things going wrong. Change!"
The hexagram resembles a tadpole wriggling; the hexagram "Pi" is reversed and becomes "Cui," indicating that the host follows the guest's movements!
"Wow, impressive! You're forcibly defying fate. Aren't you afraid of divine retribution?" Si Zang exclaimed in surprise as he calculated with his fingers. The divination had originally been in their favor, but now it had turned in theirs.
“Outside, I might be afraid of old men, but in this underground palace, you should ask yourself first!” The old man laughed, his skills showing no sign of stopping as he unleashed a series of divination-shaped light points that struck the scarred man in front of him.
The red dots on the scarred man's body, which the old man had marked, suddenly gleamed.
"That's ruthless! Exchanging this brother's life essence for power, that's at least 20 years of lifespan, right?" Si Zang didn't mince words, immediately revealing the other party's secret and raising the Golden Hammer.
The old man sneered, "Don't be afraid. The body of a human-demon is inherently defying the heavens. We'll find a few people to heal you when we get back!"
These words, which seemed to be both a test of Lu Yuan and a way to reassure the burly man, immediately stirred the hearts of the group.
But Si Zang didn't care about any human or demon. After a cold laugh, the hammer in his hand quietly flew up, spun in the air for a long distance, and suddenly broke the speed of sound, shooting towards the old man.
"Oh."
Just as the hammer approached, a familiar laugh came from behind the old man. Then, a massive black shadow stepped out of the darkness of the underground palace, stretching out its hands to block the hammer.
With a thud, the mutated Lu Yuan hugged the golden hammer tightly, his large hands gripping it firmly, his bone claws expanding to envelop the hammer. The next moment, the hammer hit the ground, and Lu Yuan quickly took out a mechanical device and attached it to the hammer.
"Damn it..." Si Zang couldn't help but curse out loud.
Some kind of isolation device...
After trying to rouse the hammer several times without success, Si Zang felt somewhat constrained and uncomfortable. Meanwhile, Lin Feng, holding the Evil Blade, confronted the approaching scarred man.
The Evil Blade struck the scarred man first, and just as the blade started to spark, it quickly changed direction and struck the man's arms.
The scarred man's arms jerked, his eyes flashing with fury. Ignoring the ever-changing blade light, he reached out to grab Lin Feng's head from both sides.
At this moment, Si Zang stood guard behind them, and beams of laser light passed by the two of them, shooting towards the sorceress who was about to play tricks again: "Be careful, that kid is about to make a move."
Lin Feng glanced around and saw Lu Yuan's hands changing.
This guy didn't seem to release any virus this time, but the changes in the old man and the sorceress, as well as the scarred man's crazed behavior, are all inextricably linked to the virus.
Just then, an extreme sense of crisis suddenly enveloped him. It was as if something terrifying was lurking in the surrounding darkness, slowly opening its claws towards him.
"Bang!"
A bullet fired at incredible speed from the darkness. The expanding spiritual power and ever-vigilant spiritual eyes could barely detect the source of the danger, and Hong Linggui suddenly pulled up a transparent defensive shield.
Click click...
The moment they made contact, the shield shattered before the naked eye, along with the radiant patterns on it, which scattered into points of light.
Yes, that source project!
But where is he?
Taking advantage of the moment when he used his shield to defend, Lin Feng barely dodged the bullet. He glanced briefly at the hole in the wall not far away, and his heart sank to the bottom.
These bullets, which emit high-energy reactions, are far beyond the capabilities of ordinary bullets, pushing the power of bullets to a new level.
In fact, firearms are not necessarily inferior to supernatural powers. As long as there are suitable materials and a sufficiently perfect pressure conversion method, the principles of firearms are applicable in any world and can even be used in magic.
The real limitations on the power of weapons are always the "user" and the "materials".
Before he could prepare again, a second bullet was fired from another direction.
Lin Feng was startled and had already prepared to lie down the moment he sensed the danger.
Bullets flew, and Si Zang made a move, a force pulling Lin Feng backward a great distance, towards the deepest hall of the underground palace.
"Where?" Si Zang's forehead was covered in cold sweat. Before Lin Feng could respond, the third bullet pierced the darkness, like a streak of light piercing through their cover.
The three-meter-thick stone wall was instantly pierced, and the high temperature that had swept across the gap began to extinguish visibly, until the semicircle burned out on Si Zang's shoulder.
He was so close, so very close, that his head would have been gone.
Before Si Zang could catch his breath, Lin Feng grabbed him like a madman and ran towards the depths of the main hall.
"fourth..."
Bang!!!
A gunshot, far more powerful than the sound received in their minds, a gunshot that seemed to pierce through the entire underground palace, shot towards them from the direction they were fleeing, accompanied by bursts of sharp red light.
There's no way to avoid it!
A sense of despair had already taken root in Lin Feng's mind.
Just at that last moment, as he had just let go of Si Zang and was trying his best to dodge, a sudden gust of cold wind blew out from under his feet.
"The dragon vein erupted... Heh, what a pity." Si Zang took out a healing potion from his pocket, straightened up from Lin Feng's hand, and drank it while excitedly looking at the bullet that could annihilate their existence.
The dragon vein beneath the underground palace was broken, and the energy within it was extremely unstable. Now, Lu Yuan's bullets triggered the eruption of dragon energy, and the benefits are self-evident. However, this was originally intended to ambush their opponent, but now it has become their method of survival.
"Impossible, why is this happening..." the old man exclaimed in disbelief, looking at the divination chart in his hand that was almost leading to a dead end, he simply did not believe that Lin Feng and the others had any chance of survival.
"Heh heh, your divination is almost certainly wrong, otherwise Old Man Gan wouldn't have been able to outwit you." The sorceress chuckled, then slapped the stunned scarred man and shouted, "Hurry up and go!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The scarred man rushed over.
The sorceress's face showed a hint of smugness. Clutching the hairy ghost mask in her hand, she muttered to herself, "The elderly do not seek rich food and clothing, but only wish for virtuous descendants. Now the Jiang family is in great trouble, and we humbly beseech the ancestors of the Jiang family to come!"
Suddenly, several sinister howls rang out, and behind the scarred man, several strange phantoms appeared, each with disheveled hair, rushing forward.
"Heh, you old hag, aren't you afraid they'll sue you in the underworld for robbing the Jiang family's ancestral graves?"
The old man sneered, but the fortune teller didn't care at all and said, "Don't worry about it. If they want to sue, they'll have to be able to go back!"
With a cold snort, the scarred man who had lunged at Lin Feng was already in front of them, his steel-like hands grabbing down from the left and right.
At the same moment, Si Zang stopped Lin Feng, who was about to make a move, and looked steadily at the flesh and blood on his shoulder that was beginning to recover, and chuckled.
Suddenly, another burst of dragon energy shot out from the ground, striking the scarred man's feet.
The scarred man wanted to continue forward, but the fierce dragon energy swept over his body in the blink of an eye, peeling away his flesh layer by layer and grinding away his bones.
In three seconds, the scarred man lost half of his body. How could a mere mortal who relied on physical strength resist the dragon energy that could block the Project 2 bullets?
"I was originally going to wait a little longer, but unfortunately you triggered the dragon vein ahead of time, otherwise..." Si Zang sneered. Otherwise, once the other party reached the location where the dragon energy erupted, no matter what the Origin Project was, they would all die!
Unfortunately, things are never that easy, and the point where the dragon's energy erupts cannot be changed at will.
The sorceress and the old man stopped what they were doing and looked around. They saw many faint pits appearing on the ground, and even dragon energy was hidden under some of the cracked stone slabs.
Si Zang shook his arm, and seeing that he had almost recovered, he called out from afar, "Lu Yuan, stop looking! If you have the ability, then completely destroy the dragon vein of this underground palace. Otherwise... you'd better obediently kneel down before me!"
