Chapter 260
Shen Yijing tried to draw his sword, but failed.
Once a person falls into an endless swamp and is carried by inertia, it is very difficult to escape from the quagmire with no support points on all sides.
Shen Yijing's current state is similar to being stuck in a swamp.
The only difference was that the "swamp" he'd fallen into was somewhat special, possessing a far greater psychological impact than any ordinary swamp. The pieces of flesh he'd cut apart with his own hands were wriggling around him, their rips seemingly possessing their own life force, pulling in and pushing towards their own kind—presumably enveloping the trapped humans.
The only thing Shen Yijing could do at the moment was to stop as much as possible after realizing that the situation was not right, stop all actions that might accelerate his downfall, and then start waiting.
He was waiting for Jiang Yunu to react and for the other party to come to his rescue from outside.
Jiang Yunu did realize quickly that something was wrong.
Having personally fought with Shen Yijing and fought side by side, Jiang Yunu knew how fast and deep Shen Yijing's sword could be under normal circumstances. According to the rules, after she caught a glimpse of Captain Shen flying by with a sword and slashing into the bottom of the huge heart, she should be able to hear the sound of the black sword piercing through the outer wall of the other end of this huge fleshy beard after counting to three in her mind at most.
But she's already counted more than three so far.
There was no sound of the blade breaking through the "skin" on the other side of the whiskers.
And what was even stranger was that she suddenly realized that she could no longer hear the sound of Shen Yijing's knife continuously cutting through pieces of meat.
Jiang Yunu had excellent hearing, so there was no chance she'd miss the sound of the sword swinging in such a situation. Convinced that something had happened, she rushed forward without hesitation, a new green thread of supernatural power extending from her right pinky finger, heading straight for the gap in the flesh left by Shen Yijing's black sword.
The green supernatural tendrils penetrated into the gap before the human body.
As soon as Jiang Yunu's supernatural power line reached in, she immediately understood more about the situation - her supernatural power line touched the inside of the flesh, felt the "life activity" they transmitted, and realized that they were movable, trying to heal themselves and push deep inside.
She also realized that this place was like a small black hole that appeared out of thin air. The internal space was deeper and wider than it appeared from the outside, and its boundaries could not be easily explored.
So Shen Yijing must be trapped.
Captain Shen's previous knife attack was truly unstoppable, with a force of a thousand pounds, and he cut himself deep into the strange piece of flesh.
The further in you go, the darker it gets. The self-healing flesh wriggles and blocks out the outside light, as if it wants to completely swallow anything that penetrates deep into its interior, making the outsider a permanent part of its body, becoming "food" and nutrients.
Jiang Yunu did not lose her sense of direction in the seemingly endless dark environment. She was sure that she was still falling in a straight line, but she was not sure where Shen Yijing was.
Is Shen Yijing still in this "meaty tunnel"? Where is he?
Or has Captain Shen already cut out an alternate dimension with one sword and been teleported to some other place through this "meat path"?
Jiang Yunu's supernatural power tendrils were several body lengths ahead of her, and she took the lead in exploring the dim environment in front. Her supernatural power attracted the attention of the surrounding flesh walls. When she tried to release the supernatural power stronger and brighter, the surrounding flesh would speed up the pushing speed and move towards her supernatural power.
So she could only lower the energy release value, maintain a "low amplitude and low brightness" mode, and use a small exploration circle to sense Shen Yijing's existence.
This mode is less efficient, but slows down the movement of surrounding flesh.
Suddenly, the supernatural tendril extending from the little finger seemed to be pulled by something.
!
Jiang Yunu paid close attention, trying to determine the direction of the source of the pulling force and assess who the source was.
Then quickly, the other party gently pulled her twice.
The dynamics are very light, non-aggressive, and the intervals are slow.
At least the "source" is not an aggressive object. Of course, it is also possible that this gentle action is a disguised trap set by the other party.
Jiang Yunu turned his body slightly and moved towards the direction of the pulling force coming from his little finger.
Shen Yijing couldn't see where Jiang Yunu was. From the objective passage of time, it had only been a short time since he had sent himself into this strange and twisted space with a single knife, but this place seemed to confuse people's perception of time.
Every minute and second of time is infinitely stretched here, and during the "false extension" of time, other normal human sensory abilities will be blurred synchronously.
Jiang Yunu was not far away from Shen Yijing in terms of physical distance.
Shen Yijing couldn’t see her.
But he sensed her powers first.
Jiang Yunu's ability is green, representing the earth element of life and material abundance.
In the darkness, the appearance of a little green is very eye-catching. It is like a life beacon, telling people trapped in the darkness: your rescuer has arrived.
Shen Yijing couldn't act rashly before. He had been pushed to a position roughly in the center by the surrounding pieces of flesh. He could feel that his legs had been locked and slowly wrapped. Any attempt on his part to release his superpowers would be sensed by the nearby pieces of flesh, and seemed to accelerate their excitement.
Jiang Yunu is gifted in micro-control skills, and her ability has a unique characteristic that can minimize the rejection reaction of the "invaded party".
Jiang Yunu's supernatural power first touched the vicinity of Shen Yijing, but it was obvious that the tip of the supernatural power tendril was still probing and wandering, and had not completely reached Shen Yijing's position, let alone touched Shen Yijing.
Taking a certain risk, Shen Yijing released his supernatural power deep inside the pushing of the meat.
It is also very light and delicate, just as delicate as the strokes of a pen when writing by hand.
It cautiously reached towards the green whisker line and, squeezed by the surrounding flesh, pulled the other party.
——Jiang Yunu was pulled over by Shen Yijing just like that.
When he was sure that the person pulling him was Shen Yijing, Jiang Yunu felt a little strange.
She felt that this slow pulling, and then pulling her again, was like a child grabbing the edge of the clothes of someone taller and stronger than herself, and then carefully guiding the other person to where she wanted.
Captain Shen is certainly not a child, but this careful tugging is kind of cute.
Jiang Yunu arrived beside Shen Yijing.
It was dark all around, and the pieces of flesh were squeezed together, making a slight rustling sound.
It is impossible to speak in this space, and no one would want to take the risk of opening their mouth to speak, as the soft flesh of the meat might pounce on your face in the next second.
Shen Yijing's supernatural power traction disappeared.
The "pulling ability" he had just released had increased the activity of the flesh around him. They pushed him, squeezed him, and had climbed to around his waist.
Jiang Yunu reached out in the direction where the pulling force disappeared and touched his body accurately.
Shen Yijing: “…”
Jiang Yunu was not particular about details. She just touched whatever she could get her hands on. After actually touching a human body, she pressed it twice, rubbed the body with her palm twice, and then patted it, as if to confirm again and again that what she touched was a human being.
As the one being touched, Captain Shen's feelings were more complicated and difficult to describe.
Fortunately, the current environment does not allow him to speak.
Jiang Yunu finished touching it and confirmed that it was a human body. It felt very similar to Shen Yijing, and the body lines were similar to what she had usually observed. She confirmed what part of the human body she touched, and then her hand moved down.
Shen Yijing didn't move for a long time after she came to his side. He just existed here silently. Jiang Yunu knew with a strand of her hair that he must be trapped and unable to act according to his own will.
Jiang Yunu's hand touched Shen Yijing's waist, and at the same time, the back of his hand also touched the inner wall of the flesh that was surging and pushing near his waist.
When the back of Jiang Yunu's hand unexpectedly touched the inner wall, a sudden force pressed down on her arm! Then the force moved to the side, as if trying to push her away!
“…”
In silence, Jiang Yunu seemed to sneer.
The wriggling pieces of flesh around him had obviously regarded Shen Yijing as some kind of trophy, and were preparing to slowly entangle him, wrap him up, and keep him here forever.
There was a rustling whisper coming from the wall of flesh, but it was just noise in Shen Yijing's auditory system.
But Jiang Yunu felt that she seemed to understand the message they conveyed:
[Delicious...delicious...]
[Swallow...absorb...]
Jiang Yunu was not wrapped by the countless "internal whiskers" extending from the inner wall of the meat block. The substance deep in this special meat swamp seemed to have no interest in absorbing her, but instead regarded her as a predator.
As if she were one of her kind ready to take away the fresh rations.
——Well, she can be.
[Want to eat Captain Shen? No way.]
Because I want to eat too.
These thoughts only flashed through Jiang Yunu's mind briefly, but the sticky substance around her seemed to be able to understand her will. They surged up violently and pushed her with even greater force!
Of course Jiang Yunu would not be pushed away easily.
In her mind, she seemed to suddenly realize a new trick for using her supernatural powers, causing no supernatural light to light up at her fingertips... but instead, fine and dense green light spots appeared directly on the slimy fleshy inner wall around her.
The scene was actually quite terrifying.
It was as if the flesh-like substances became diseased in the blink of an eye, and lustrous green spots grew on the surface of all the inner walls closest to Jiang Yunu.
Shen Yijing held his breath.
He heard an indescribable sound, as if something was decomposing and dissolving.
He stared at Jiang Yunu in a daze.
Spots of light flickered on the surrounding fleshy walls, giving off a special sense of breathing. However, every time they breathed, the flesh walls at the location where the light spots lit up seemed to become an inch thinner.
This is fatal breath.
——Jiang Yunu’s special ability is to “digest” the things that wrap around him.
The light spots around illuminated a corner of the dim space, finally bringing some light here, and also illuminating Jiang Yunu's face and white hair.
Her white hair also looked green under the green light. Seeing Shen Yijing looking at her intently, she smiled at him.
It's like saying:
Don't worry, it's okay, I'll eat it all up right away.
The transfer station meeting room closest to the senior league——
"Report!"
"The energy field surrounding the league camp has suddenly plummeted by 20%!"
