Chapter 259
That is a real "heart".
It has an appearance identical to that of a human heart, is at least three meters high, and its overall volume is comparable to that of a small room.
There are intricate "blood vessels" on this "heart", which, upon closer inspection, are energy circuits, and the "blood" flowing through them is like an inexhaustible supernatural power.
After Jiang Yunu and Shen Yijing left the room with the huge pit, they entered the new "endless passage area" and encountered stronger mutants than those in the previous passage.
Fight your way through this second long passage, and then you'll see the third door. Push it open and you'll see a huge heart standing on the ground.
Jiang Yunu subconsciously held his breath when he saw this "heart".
She stopped cautiously and watched the energy circuits on the "heart" light up in circles, as if the new influx of "blood" was supplying energy to the heart.
The "heart" beats steadily.
"...Do you know what this is?" Shen Yijing must have held his breath for a moment. When he spoke again, Jiang Yunu clearly heard him adjusting his breathing.
He asked Jiang Yunu in a low voice.
And Jiang Yunu replied: "I thought that between the two of us, Captain Shen was the more knowledgeable one."
The white-haired girl didn't often say good things about herself, and it was rare for her to hear words of great recognition of herself, and this happened in this kind of situation.
The huge, strange, and obviously "alive" heart in front of him continued to beat. Every beat of it gave Shen Yijing goose bumps on his arms covered by his coat. In his heart, he was thinking inappropriately: ...I don't know whether I should be happy to be praised in such an occasion.
Jiang Yunu is really an elusive person, and he is particularly good at breaking other people's normal rhythm.
The knowledgeable Captain Shen thought about something random, while Jiang Yunu, who was very self-aware of the fact that "I am a country boy, I just haven't seen much", had already taken two steps forward. She walked as lightly as a cat on its paw pads and walked silently around the huge heart for a small circle.
She wanted to know where the "blood vessels" of this heart lead to, what they are connected to, and what the existence of this heart itself is supporting.
"It's broken." Jiang Yunu looked at it intently for a while and muttered softly, "I can't see it."
Shen Yijing had also come back to his senses. He also moved lightly and came to Jiang Yunu's side, and placed his hand on the knife vigilantly.
"It's also possible that the deep link part is underground." Shen Yijing looked at his heart for a while and made a reasonable guess.
Jiang Yunu nodded, thinking that this guess was very likely.
Shen Yijing took another look and said, "Maybe this place is close to the core of the entire underground base."
It is so big that it seems difficult for a heart to be born naturally. It is not known where its "blood vessels" are connected to, but one can intuitively tell from its size that it must be an important thing.
Jiang Yunu walked around the heart again, and her eyebrows raised.
"..." A certain premonition suddenly struck Shen Yijing, making him feel that Jiang Yunu must have had some "earth-shattering" idea again.
Sure enough, the other party then said jokingly: "Why don't we chop this thing off now?"
Shen Yijing: “…”
Shen Yijing did not deny it immediately, but thought about it as rationally as possible and said, "Do you know what it connects to, what it supports, and what consequences might result from destroying it?"
Jiang Yunu blinked and said sincerely, "I don't know. But it doesn't look like a good thing here, nor does it look like something that the league camp itself should have. Maybe after we cut it down and observe the consequences, we'll know what it's used for."
——What a great theory of reverse causality!
Chen Yijing always felt that this plan was very wrong. However, facing Jiang Yunu's sincere eyes, he found that the logic and rationality he had always been proud of were shattered, more fragile than a sand fortress corroded by sea water. He couldn't help but think: Why not give it a try according to her idea?
Anyway, this "heart area" is the same as the previous "pit area". After they pushed the door and entered this place, the upgraded mutants that appeared one after another disappeared again, and there seemed to be no warning or defense facilities here.
This is a relatively safe place for the time being.
By cutting out the "heart", they can immediately know its function and related directions.
If they don't cut the "heart", they may have to continue to push open the next door, fight in the seemingly endless passage, and then wait for the next door in front of them, waiting to go to the next unknown room to find an opportunity to break the deadlock.
"...Isn't the plan a bit too radical?" Shen Yijing made the final rational decision and tentatively discussed this with Jiang Yunu.
Jiang Yunu said, "We and all the remaining students are trapped in the camp. The two of us who came to participate in the competition are fighting mutants. We also 'abandoned' other companions who could have been teammates and chose to fight our way deep into the underground base alone. Is everything we are experiencing and doing now not radical enough?"
Certainly radical enough.
A radical environment creates radical people, and radical experiences lead to radical decisions.
Shen Yijing held the black long sword horizontally in his hand and said, "Forget it, let's do it."
The black elemental sword had been out of the scabbard for a long time. It was only when Jiang Yunu really drew the sword in front of Shen Yijing that she discovered that the blade of the elemental sword was also black. At that time, she praised him, "Captain Shen has a white sword and a black sword. When I stand there, I have monopolized the black and white evil spirits."
Shen Yijing's reaction at the time seemed to feel that this was not a compliment, but she still accepted it silently.
——Just like his idea of finally cooperating with Jiang Yunu.
Jiang Yunu's supernatural power was ready to be unleashed, and it had been floating in the air in the form of a shadowy green light.
As soon as he got the response from his only teammate, countless green whiskers "grew out" from the air in an instant. They were like dust attracted by an electrostatic field, and in the blink of an eye they were attached to the huge heart.
Then the green whiskers began to climb along the "blood vessels" of the heart.
With a "chi" sound, the extremely thin supernatural tentacle pierced the "blood vessels" of the "heart" with its tip.
Shen Yijing had already made defensive preparations to prevent any possibility that his "blood vessels" would be pierced by Jiang Yunu's supernatural tentacles.
But strangely, everything was calm.
Jiang Yunu's supernatural tentacles were still going deeper. In the blood vessels visible to the naked eye in the giant heart, one could see that Jiang Yunu's green supernatural light had successfully invaded, and the unified energy flowing in the blood vessels had a few more strands of green.
Jiang Yunu said: "Maybe because the penetration depth is not deep enough, the current state is like an ordinary person being pricked by a mosquito's mouth needle and sucking a few mouthfuls of blood."
That’s right, it’s because Jiang Yunu is so talented in the fine manipulation of releasing supernatural powers.
Her teachers had long noticed her talent for micro-manipulation and had given her specialized training. But none of her teachers had ever imagined that one day, she would use this "micro-manipulation skill" in such combat.
By the time this "heart" was able to sense Jiang Yunu's invasion and realized that this "mosquito" seemed to have stayed on its body for too long, it was too late.
Jiang Yunu is certainly not a mosquito that only sucks at one place. She is a killer assassin who quietly lets countless supernatural tentacles penetrate into her "blood vessels" and weaves a big net to strangle her.
"Boom, boom, boom."
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The huge heart beat suddenly faster.
All the blood vessels wrapped around it began to glow, the energy flowing through the pipes became faster, and each of its beats became more violent.
—also makes all the green whiskers inserted into the blood vessels more eye-catching.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The huge heart beat so violently that it almost jumped out of the ground.
The energy and blood in the blood vessels rushed, and they seemed to have finally realized the invader and were trying to expel Jiang Yunu's supernatural tendrils from the inside.
Jiang Yunu put all her mind into controlling the release of her supernatural powers. She alone controlled all the energy lines that penetrated the "blood vessels" and believed that Shen Yijing would cooperate with her.
"Now!" said Jiang Yunu.
When the giant heart was struggling to leave the ground in order to escape the external energy that penetrated everywhere, Jiang Yunu had already felt through this special physical connection that the countless blood vessels of the heart were indeed connected to the ground.
She shouted, telling Shen Yijing the best time to swing the knife.
Shen Yijing's task was to directly cut off the pulled-out link when the heart beat higher and pulled out the "blood vessels" rooted in the ground.
The time has come. The black long sword in Shen Yijing's hand was wrapped in amber-gold supernatural power. The physical blade almost disappeared in the supernatural light. The sword and the supernatural power together turned into a golden storm.
The storm swept towards the bottom area of the giant heart, which was exposed due to its violent beating, and attacked those things that were much thicker than the surface of the heart, dark red in color, and looked like long, wriggling pieces of flesh.
"laugh."
Shen Yijing’s knife and supernatural powers cut into these strips of meat.
However, he did not cut them horizontally as he expected.
It felt strange. Like trying to slice through a bottomless block of butter with a scalding blade. The blade sliced through with ease, yet it couldn't reach the bottom. It felt like a cosmic black hole was hidden deep within the butter. The blade had penetrated far deeper than the naked eye could see, yet it was being sucked in by the unknown black hole, unable to reach the boundary on the other side where it should have existed.
And the cut pieces of meat began to wriggle.
They slowly gathered back towards the center, and a pulling force emerged from deep within the cutting line.
The pulling force dragged Shen Yijing's knife, causing his blade to continue to sink, and also dragged him, pulling him deep into the center of these long pieces of meat.
