Is this what you call good?
The Taoist priest wanted to ask, but seeing Lin Feng's expression, he held back.
Lin Feng's mind seemed clear, but the situation could deteriorate in an instant, so he had no choice but to forcibly use the Disintegration Technique.
Thinking of this, a hint of smugness appeared in the Taoist's eyes.
After making way for Lin Feng, the Taoist priest retreated into the cave. If he were to take Lin Feng's soul, wouldn't the latter obediently become his disciple once they returned to the Nightmare Space?
After cleaning up the fungal clumps that were hindering his movement on the inside of his thighs, Lin Feng was simultaneously brought into Hong Linggui's line of sight.
The robots that were digging suddenly stopped. At their feet, several thick mycelium broke through the soil, extending a thin tentacle that burrowed into the artificial neural interface that opened in the robot's hand.
The next moment, the robot changed direction and came to another area that had not collapsed, and began digging on the ground with the other robots.
This location...
Alarm bells rang in Lin Feng's mind, because the excavation site was directly above him, and the mycelium within his body was guiding his enemy.
Based on the robot's digging speed, it can reach the third level of the mine in less than an hour.
An hour... or maybe it won't even take an hour.
In that short time, he had already seen the robot dig a small hole.
From a planning perspective, the third underground level is a crucial location. The first two levels are merely for both sides to test each other, while the third level is where they will truly exert their strength.
The Taoist priests also set up a large number of traps here. If the opponent enters the third floor from this direction, at least one-third of their traps will not be triggered.
Lin Feng glanced back at the Taoist priest who seemed lost in thought deep inside the cave entrance. The third level was crucial, being the key to luring the hostile participant into the fourth underground level, but now these mycelia had most likely exposed their situation...
Although the plan will continue, it may not go in the direction they want.
Nightmare Points: 545
These were the points he earned by clearing out enemies in the mine. Now that he thought about it, these points, which seemed to have been handed to him willingly, were like a gift from the other party, a sense of satisfaction before death, and they, along with the virus in his body, quietly tormented his heart.
Should we retreat immediately?
It's not impossible, but as the Taoist priest said, I'm not willing to accept it.
The situation is not at a point where things can be rushed. Nuclear bombs... nuclear bombs... Arasaka...
"Mutant E virus (stage two): The mutant mold has obtained enough nutrients and is about to grow and mature in your body."
"Mutant E-virus consciousness: The mold has taken over your nerves, formed an independent consciousness, and is attempting to invade your brain."
"Survival countdown: 10 hours and 58 minutes."
In less than two hours, his body was covered with a network of mycelium, with only two areas remaining intact.
First, there was the heart possessed by demonic power; second, there was the area on the back of the hand where the curse of the cod-eater resided. If these two places hadn't interfered with the integrity of the mycelium, the other party would have completed the parasitism.
As for the mycelium on his face, it was only with the help of Hong Linggui that the situation was barely maintained.
Otherwise, his consciousness and body would be disconnected.
Lin Feng was well aware of his current state; he was only one step away from death. If any of these forces were to become unbalanced, he would become a breeding ground for the virus. However, this dangerous situation quietly revealed a side that was extremely advantageous to him.
Taking a deep breath, the battle between life and death was about to reach its final moment.
Gradually, he heard a vibrating sound coming from above his head. Before long, the upper passage would be opened.
Glancing at the mycelium lurking on the surrounding walls, Lin Feng took out a Defender heavy machine gun from his spatial ring, set it up on the open ground in front of him, raised the muzzle, and aimed at the cave ceiling where the tremors were gradually intensifying.
Suddenly, the cave ceiling collapsed, creating a small opening. The machine gun, which had been poised to fire, opened fire instantly, unleashing a full magazine of bullets.
Da da da!
The rocks on the cave ceiling collapsed, dust scattered, Lin Feng threw away the machine gun he had finished firing, ignored the surrounding dust, pulled out a submachine gun, gripped the alchemical venomous dagger, and half-squatted down, his body engulfed by the drifting dust.
In an instant, the cave became extremely quiet.
Lin Feng held his breath and focused his mind. In his hazy field of vision, tiny beams of light swept past the dust in front of him and quickly disappeared.
A small tremor occurred above, followed by a heavy thud from the dust.
A black figure, resembling a giant beast, plunged into the cave, sending up gusts of air.
Spirit summoning technique!
At the same time, the skill began to operate, and the cold and sinister soul energy of the red spirit swept through Lin Feng's body. He clearly felt that the activity of the mycelium in his body had slowed down a lot.
Before the skill was fully completed, Lin Feng hastily activated the second skill.
Demonic curse!
Under these combined influences, a powerful spiritual force, like a river flowing into the sea, continuously surged into his brain.
"Spirit: 11!"
The extreme mental fluctuations caused him to break through the shackles of his mental energy at this moment. His mental energy, which could only be sensed and passively used, began to move like flowing water according to his will.
"Hongling!"
The illusory red ghost solidified in an instant, and an illusory steel knife followed the dagger that Lin Feng's hand had gathered black energy into, and together they rushed into the dust.
Clang!
A heavy impact rang out, and a shadowy figure swept out a blade from the dust, leaving a clear mark in the dim environment.
Lin Feng's palms trembled, and it seemed as if a fungus was sprouting from his throat, drawing moisture from his body.
"Dark Ritual!"
The submachine guns opened fire, and the red-haired girl gave chase.
A frenzied divine light flashed in his eyes. He unleashed this skill he had never used before, and the cold, sinister energy from the Crimson Spirit within his body transformed into thousands of needles that pierced his flesh, drilled into the gaps between his bones, and penetrated into every cell.
"Dark Ritual: Initiate a dark ritual to curse your own body in exchange for an equivalent amount of spiritual power."
"Spirit: 15!"
The rapidly increasing numbers exploded in his mind, and the enhanced senses brought him a new perspective. The demonic power within him seemed to gather in his heart like a docile kitten.
His connection with the Red Spirit Ghost behind him became increasingly clear. With each swing of his sword, he could sense a resonance from the Red Spirit Ghost behind him striking simultaneously.
Clang!
Two more slashes, and Hong Linggui appeared behind the other, both of them opening their mouths.
Underworld cavity!
The pitch, raised to its highest point, broke through the dust in front of it and crashed back and forth in the enclosed cave.
The dark figure crouched down, and the red-clad ghost continued its pursuit. Lin Feng exhaled, and his body unexpectedly felt much better.
Unexpectedly, the dark ritual suppressed the virus parasitizing his body. Just like a virus that is dissatisfied with its living environment, it also has an instinctive resistance.
But this was just the beginning. Discarding the useless submachine gun, Lin Feng quickly drank a bottle of magic potion, feeling the replenishment of demonic power while further intensifying the physical torment of the dark ritual.
Demonic power gathered, and dark energy meandered. The alchemical fang dagger in his hand was stained with a black light, which spread to his hand as well.
The next instant, the red-clad ghost that appeared in front of the black figure was forced back by a burst of lightning, and a flash of blade light met the black venomous dagger and arrived in front of Lin Feng.
Clang!
The dagger was blocked, and the stalemate lasted less than a second before Lin Feng's body was sent flying, crashing heavily into the wall.
"hehe..."
The shadowy figure turned around with a cold laugh, shifting its shoulder slightly.
Lin Feng's full-force attack was like a tickle to him.
At this moment, Hong Linggui grabbed an eight-star gun from the corner. Before she could fire it, a gun barrel suddenly emerged from behind the shadowy figure and fired a red light that terrified the spirits.
Sizzle... The eight-star gun melted, and the blade formed from the soul power behind the gun was also affected.
The sharp blade quickly vaporized, along with the hilt in her hand, which could no longer maintain its sharp weapon form.
call!
A gust of wind blew away the dust, and the dark figure swung an arm to smother the remaining dirt before striding out.
With a body two meters tall, four arms, two swords, a giant revolver, and a weapon to subdue ghosts, it was like a demon that had invaded the space of the mine, swallowing up the few rays of light shining in from the ceiling.
Click click click!
The sound of mechanical footsteps approached overhead. One by one, robots and elite agents of Arasaka jumped down from the cave entrance, erected very heavy shields, and planted them in the ground to build a defense.
Six elite agents emerged one after the other, each targeting Lin Feng and Hong Linggui respectively.
"The idea is good, but the ability is too weak."
