Behind the main hall, Lin Feng lay on a wooden bed carved with dragons and phoenixes, concluding his mental and spiritual rest. With the improvement in his attributes, coupled with mental cultivation techniques, he shortened his rest time to five hours, eliminating unnecessary parts.
Sitting up on the wooden bed, Lin Feng stretched out his limbs and did his best to relax his body.
After stretching, jumping, and twisting, he breathed a sigh of relief and stood up straight.
Throughout this process, his eyes remained closed. Suddenly, an imperceptible fluctuation emanated from his body, and he glanced at the paper figure outside the hall.
He seemed to be able to see the yin energy emanating from the paper figure, sense the direction of its flow, and perceive the swirling yin energy vortex within the paper figure's body.
Looking around, a strange sense of perception became clearer, gradually revealing the details of the courtyard that existed between illusion and reality.
It's like a very basic geometry problem, borrowing the structure of a cave in reality and dividing it into several areas, with the main hall located inside Huang Zhen's original hut.
This potential for advancement is far more alluring than simply gaining immense power!
"From this perspective, it already has a kind of ghost realm feel to it, but it doesn't form its own space."
"However, the stage area that Hongling originally had has been reinforced..."
Lin Feng gradually got used to this unique perspective, until his spiritual eye, which he had activated, glanced at the manuals he had collected one last time before quickly closing.
Those secret manuals... were like the demon sculptures we first encountered, filled with twisted and distorted evil thoughts, just short of becoming tangible.
Sitting back down on the illusory wooden bed, Lin Feng took out the intermediate-level gene serum.
After resting in the cave for a day, his body was ready to receive the intermediate-level gene serum. Although the effects of the primary-level gene serum had not been fully realized, it was sufficient for now.
This small imperfection is enough to be easily made up for in the future.
During this day, he gained a deeper understanding of skills such as spirit possession, the Eye of the Spirit, demonic curses, and dark rituals. With the blessing of the Eye of the Spirit,
For example, the cursed body of a dark ritual physically stimulates the brain's perception, and he can clearly perceive a strange change.
As for the new skills 'Demon Transformation' and 'Fallen Soul', they allowed him to see alternative uses of demonic power, as well as some of his own feedback on demonic power.
Lin Feng waited a moment, adjusted his mindset, and then forcefully injected the intermediate-level gene serum into his thigh.
This time, the scorching air instantly overwhelmed all his senses, like blades stabbing into every cell, violently unlocking his genes, shattering his cellular structure, and reshaping everything in sight.
"Chance!"
In the midst of the torment, Lin Feng realized something: this reshaping was the moment to fully incorporate the mycelium. The deep transformation not only reshaped the structure but also allowed his body to autonomously find a balance.
Let's take a gamble. If all else fails, we can always go back and use Nightmare Points to clear up the problems in our bodies!
A series of nerve signals flowed to the mycelium, and the already restless mycelium extended several tiny hyphae, which burrowed into some broken cells.
"No, the area is too large, and the intensity is too weak. The original hyphae were limited to the subcutaneous tissue..."
Simply put, the bacterial community was suppressed to the point of having no competitiveness, so how could a parasite possibly defeat a strengthened cell?
"Concentrate all at the back!"
Lin Feng decided to go all out. Batch after batch of mycelium pierced through his flesh and eventually gathered on his back, attached to his spine, and made further contact with his nerve center.
Gradually, Lin Feng sensed the birth of something new. A clearer perception was established between the mycelium and his nerves. They joined his body in the form of new organs, and his nerves also extended to some extent within the mycelium under the influence of the strengthening drug.
"It's done?"
His body still felt like it was being burned, but a cool sensation had appeared on his back.
As his senses gradually spread, he could perceive the mycelium tree growing under his skin taking root and extending along his spine into his body, joining the evolution of his cells.
They are... assisting in evolution. They are like the subjective manifestation of Lin Feng's will, replenishing energy for cells that have not completed their evolution and alleviating the fatigue caused by violent evolution.
"Spirit +1"
A notification suddenly appeared, and Lin Feng immediately felt much more relaxed. This was enough to show that the birth of the mycelial organ had been recognized by the Nightmare Space.
As his spirit was strengthened and he became accustomed to the pain that came with the enhancement, he focused wholeheartedly on practicing the mental cultivation method.
...
Several hours later, the enhancement finally ended. Freed from the pain, Lin Feng ignored the sticky liquid and smell on his body and immediately checked his personal attributes.
Basic Attributes: Stamina 12, Spirit 13, Intelligence 8, Agility 12, Strength 10
In comparison, the Oberon Bio-Combat Suit provides zero attribute bonuses; its only advantage is its powerful defense.
After quickly cleaning himself of the grime, Lin Feng sat calmly in the main hall and reassessed his situation.
With the Demon Power and Red Ghost already taking shape, and his body finally free from the weakness brought on by cancer, he now only faces the potential threat of the Demon Power and the problem of the Dark Curse (28% in the first stage).
The former only needs to continuously improve its strength, which is naturally not a problem, while the latter has not received much attention because there is little interference.
However, his severe injuries in the cyber mission world made him realize that this thing was his death curse. As long as he got close to death a few more times, it would eventually erupt, and even turn him into a monster like Kalzak after death.
The effect of the Dark Curse is a 55% reduction in all life characteristics. In the past, this figure was not clear to him, but today he discovered something: a dulling of life, a sudden sense of disconnection, and a feeling of being detached from the warmth of life.
A strong attribute naturally brings a stronger sense of perception. When these feelings are fed back into his heart, they don't become tasteless, but rather unexpectedly bland.
From the perspective of life, this is contrary to common sense; from other perspectives, such as the dead, the warmth of life is not necessary.
"Perhaps it's not a bad thing..."
Lin Feng put aside his thoughts for the moment and turned his attention to his arm.
The hyphae on his arm connected to form a second cursed hexagon. This part of the hyphae became his independent hyphal organ and formed a connection with the Coprophagist's curse.
There was no explanation on his personal status bar. Based on his initial expectations, he had made some preparations for this, and it was time to put the matter of the curse on the agenda.
After dealing with all this, Lin Feng finally walked out of the lobby.
Gradually, he incorporated all of this gain into his own life, which filled him with hope for his next move.
The sky outside was still as unsettling as ever, and the feeling of returning to the clouds was even more daunting. When you're up there, you can't see the devastated land, but when you come down, the wind blowing past your ears smells foul.
After opening the map and finding the exact direction, Lin Feng and the others quickly headed east along the river.
After passing through several dilapidated cities and dodging group after group of Divine Dragon Cult members, Lin Feng finally discovered a gathering area of these strange monsters near the coast.
This area can hardly be called a city; there are carriages parked everywhere and makeshift wooden sheds. What's a little strange is the pile of skeletons of deep-sea monsters on the coast.
A little further away, there were more than a dozen ironclad ships flying dragon flags.
Looking out, the ocean was stained black, and the black water flowing into the river at its mouth was indistinguishable from the seawater. The horizon was also filled with waves that shimmered with black light.
"Luo?"
Lin Feng spotted a flag; it was the largest flag in the area.
