Upon hearing this, Lu Ning immediately said seriously, "I am a human being! A normal human being!"
Everyone: "..."
While everyone was still in shock, Ke Qing had already returned to normal.
Feeling her own condition, she exclaimed with delight, "I've recovered!"
The next moment, she realized something, bent over, opened her mouth, and spat out a twisted lump of flesh.
The flesh was scarlet, with several strange tentacles and blood vessels growing on it.
Upon landing, the meat seemed to lose its vitality, withering and rotting on the spot.
"Is this the seed of flesh and blood?"
Nan Yu and the others looked wary when they saw the chunks of meat that Ke Qing had vomited.
Ke Qing nodded, relieved, and said, "Previously, this flesh and blood seed contained extremely powerful mental pollution, which I couldn't expel on my own. Now that Captain Lu has absorbed the mental pollution, I can expel this flesh and blood mass through my own abilities."
After saying that, Ke Qing looked at Lu Ning with gratitude and said, "Captain Lu, thank you so much, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold on for long before I completely deteriorated."
Lu Ning shook his head and said calmly, "No need to be polite."
Ke Qing didn't say much.
She sat down and began to regain her mental strength.
In order to combat the mutation of the flesh and blood seed, her mental energy was also greatly depleted.
After that, no one spoke; everyone was busy recovering.
Lu Ning doesn't need to recover.
After all, he mostly fights using the power of soul vibration, which consumes very little mental energy.
Lu Ning himself hadn't resurrected many times using his mental power, so he still had some mental power left over.
While the others were recovering their mental strength, Lu Ning leaned against the wall and began to refine and absorb the mental pollution illusion from the source of flesh and blood.
However, this silence only lasted for a little over ten minutes.
A loud crash came from the closed iron gate.
The roaring sound made Nan Yu and the others, who were recovering their mental strength, open their eyes.
They looked toward the iron gate, which was trembling slightly.
Ke Qing said with a serious expression, "I'm afraid those flesh and blood monsters have come looking for us."
Nan Yu closed his eyes again and said, "The branch's iron gate is made of special metal. It can withstand even fifth and sixth-tier experts for a while. Take advantage of this time to recover a little more."
Eileen and Lin Menglan also closed their eyes again.
Seeing this, Ke Qing said no more.
The iron gate rattled incessantly, but it remained steadfast.
More than ten minutes later, cracks appeared on the iron gate.
After a long attack, the iron gate was finally about to be breached.
Nan Yu opened his eyes immediately.
He glanced at the others: "How's the recovery going?"
Eileen stood up and said, "Although I haven't fully recovered, I still have the strength to fight."
Lin Menglan nodded seriously, "Me too."
Ke Qing didn't say much.
She herself is not very strong, and she is not useful in combat at all.
"Lu Ning, what about you?"
“I’m fine,” Lu Ning said calmly.
Nan Yu nodded: "Then let's get ready. We'll break through and then go find Dennis and the others!"
Lin Menglan frowned and said, "I hope they're at the hotel."
The others nodded slightly as well.
The only place they might encounter Dennis and his group now is the hotel.
Otherwise, in such a closed communication environment, they simply wouldn't be able to find anyone.
Boom!!!
The iron gate shattered, and several fleshy monsters rushed in.
The mental pressure exerted by these flesh-and-blood monsters has reached the sixth level.
They hadn't taken more than a few steps when they were swept by a flash of sword light.
The next moment, these fleshy monsters and the other monsters behind them were simultaneously cut in half at the waist.
Lu Ning strode out, crimson sword in hand, and charged toward the stairs.
The others followed closely behind, but Keqing, who didn't need to fight, carried Afaf's corpse on her back.
The transformation of the Crimson Sword into a high-risk soul weapon greatly enhanced Lu Ning's abilities.
Although the Crimson Sword also greatly increased the mental pollution and the consumption of flesh and blood.
However, this did not have a significant impact on Lu Ning.
He wielded a scarlet sword, and no flesh-and-blood monster could withstand even a single strike from it.
In just a few breaths, he slaughtered all the monsters on the stairs and burst out of the underground.
As soon as they rushed out of the branch hall, they saw that the fleshy monsters outside the branch were densely packed and stretched as far as the eye could see.
This made Nan Yu and the others gasp for breath.
"...This number! How many exactly? Thousands? Or tens of thousands of flesh and blood monsters?"
Lin Menglan felt her mouth and throat were dry.
Lu Ning calmly said, "I'll lead the way, you follow!"
He charged into the midst of the flesh-and-blood monsters.
Each of his sword strikes unleashed a beam of light, slaying a horde of fleshy monsters in his path and clearing a way at an incredible speed.
The ground was almost stained red with blood and corpses.
With a thought, Lu Ning caused the crimson sword to emit streaks of blood-red mist.
When the mist came into contact with the blood and corpses on the ground, it immediately assimilated the blood and corpses and then absorbed them back.
This is the new ability of the Crimson Sword after its transformation.
Even without direct contact, it can still absorb flesh and blood as long as it is within a certain range.
Absorbing this flesh and blood, the crimson sword hummed with unusual excitement.
However, Eileen quickly noticed something was wrong.
She saw the flesh and blood of those killed by Lu Ning in the distance, which, instead of being absorbed by the Crimson Sword, were slowly seeping into the ground as blood.
Her expression changed, and she said, "These corpses seem to be being absorbed! Is it Him absorbing them?!"
