As Nan Yu took to the air, a series of whooshing sounds soon followed.
Lu Ning looked over and saw that they were bone spurs.
This must have been shot out by the canine flesh monster or a similar flesh monster that Lu Ning encountered in the pipes before.
Although these bone spikes were extremely fast, Nan Yu easily dodged them thanks to his speed.
As Nan Yu flew higher and higher, he gradually disappeared into the white mist.
Lu Ning and the others could no longer see him.
Just then, a blue light suddenly appeared from a distance.
Everyone looked over and saw a blue beam of light shooting out from somewhere in the base city and heading towards the sky.
The energy fluctuations emanating from this beam of light were extremely powerful, clearly emanating from a flesh-and-blood monster that Lu Ning and the others had never encountered before.
Eileen and the others held their breath.
Everyone stared intently at the sky.
However, the sky was shrouded in white mist, and they could not see whether the energy beam had hit Nan Yu.
After the beam of energy passed, the entire base city seemed to fall silent.
Only on the high-rise platform where they were, fleshy monsters continued to climb up and attack them.
Lu Ning defended two directions, while Eileen and Lin Menglan each defended one direction.
Xu Hui and Shirley were both exhausted and were currently recovering.
They were also keeping an eye on the white fog.
Just then, the entire white fog suddenly erupted into chaos.
An extremely angry roar seemed to pierce through space, coming from underground.
The roar created a sonic boom that shattered all the windows in the vicinity.
Everyone on the hotel platform was spitting blood and their faces were deathly pale.
As the roar subsided, the entire earth seemed to tremble.
A hoarse sound, seemingly accompanied by chewing sounds, rang in everyone's ears.
You deserve to die!
At this moment, Shirley and Xu Hui, whose mental energy was almost depleted, began to mutate as their flesh and blood began to writhe.
Others also felt as if their bodies had gained a new consciousness, as if their bodies were about to break free from their control!
The bloody monsters scattered on the ground seemed to have lost all life, collapsing to the ground.
After they fell to the ground, their flesh melted into blood, which seeped into the earth.
As the blood seeped into the earth, an extremely terrifying and powerful mental pressure was rapidly awakening underground.
Ignoring the mental pressure from below, Lu Ning approached Xu Hui and Shirley and absorbed the mental pollution from their bodies.
Fortunately, this mental pollution is not attached to the Seed of Flesh and Blood. Otherwise, unless Xu Hui and Eileen possess Ke Qing's ability to temporarily suppress the Seed of Flesh and Blood, Lu Ning would not be able to prevent this disease from occurring.
After absorbing the mental pollution from their bodies, Xu Hui and Shirley were filled with lingering fear.
"Captain Lu, thank you so much!"
Lu Ning waved his hand, looking at the ground with a serious expression.
The earth began to tremble slightly.
One can imagine that the monster below seems to be showing signs of awakening.
The others naturally noticed the commotion as well.
Eileen asked nervously, "Could it be that the captain succeeded?!"
As they were talking, a figure plummeted from the sky at an incredible speed.
It was Nan Yu.
Nan Yu controlled himself and crashed heavily onto the hotel platform, causing cracks to appear on the platform.
At this moment, Nan Yu's left hand was almost charred, clearly caused by the beam of light just now.
Upon landing, he immediately put away his short cane, staggering and nearly falling over.
Lu Ning stepped forward and helped him up.
Nan Yu took a deep breath and said quickly, "I've notified headquarters! Saint Qinglan is already on her way. She'll be there in a few minutes!"
"So fast?!" Lin Menglan, standing beside her, was pleasantly surprised.
Nan Yu explained, "The Azure Mist Saint himself is not far from this area, and the power he wields is the ability to control the wind, so speed is naturally one of his strengths."
The others also showed a hint of joy.
Just then, Lu Ning's voice rang out: "The next few minutes probably won't be easy."
Upon hearing this, they were reminded of their current predicament.
Eileen's face turned grim. "He's about to awaken?! What do we do?"
Xu Hui gave a wry smile: "From what you're saying, He might already be a saint? Then what's the difference between killing us and killing chickens?"
Everyone remained silent.
Just then, Ke Qing spoke up: "Perhaps we don't need to be so pessimistic."
Everyone's eyes lit up as they looked at Ke Qing.
"Do you have a solution?" Nan Yu asked.
Ke Qing shook her head.
Then, amidst everyone's disappointment, she spoke up: "Look at the ground. It seems He wants to absorb the power of all the flesh and blood monsters. Wasn't it precisely because He wanted to absorb the flesh and blood of the strong that He attracted you all here? If the Saints are coming, He probably wants to absorb this flesh and blood first to become stronger. He might not attack us in the short term!"
Upon hearing Ke Qing's analysis, the others' eyes lit up.
"That's certainly a possibility!"
"Yes, all these fleshy monsters on the ground turned into blood and went underground. It must be because they knew the saint was coming, so they wanted to absorb as much of this blood as possible!"
“That’s right! All the flesh and blood seed in this base city are His fruits! Harvesting these fruits is more important than killing us, isn’t it?”
The more everyone thought about it, the more they realized that Ke Qing was right.
Their eyes lit up.
Nan Yu then said seriously, "Don't let your guard down. Let's take a rest now and recover as much strength as we can!"
