As the group approached the villa gate, the stench of blood grew stronger.
The gate was open, and the scene inside could be seen from the outside.
Looking inside, Lu Ning could only describe the scene as hell on earth.
The furniture was broken and scattered throughout the living room, and there was blood everywhere on the furniture, walls, and floor.
Several skinless monsters, their blood-red muscles exposed, were crawling on the bodies of several naked men and women, feasting on them.
Internal organs, intestines, and other parts were scattered all over the ground.
Upon seeing this, Wang Qiwen's face turned pale instantly, and he began to gag.
The sound attracted the attention of the monsters, who looked up.
These monsters no longer have eyes, noses, or ears; they only have a huge mouth that spans their entire face.
Its large mouth contained layers of sharp teeth, with strips of bloody flesh hanging from them.
The monsters abandoned several nearly devoured corpses and slowly surrounded the group using all four limbs.
"food……"
"Hungry……"
The monsters made gurgling roars, which were still somewhat understandable.
Grayish-brown saliva dripped from the corners of their mouths, landing on the marble floor and corroding small pits into it.
"eat!"
The next moment, unable to suppress its hunger, a monster exerted force with its limbs and charged towards Lin Xiao, who was at the forefront, like an arrow released from a bow.
Just as the monster rushed in front of Lin Xiao, a flash of light appeared in the air.
The monster was cleaved in two from head to toe, its blood and entrails spilling onto the ground.
Lin Xiao's right hand had somehow transformed into a bone knife, dripping with blood.
He cracked his neck, looked at the few monsters in front of him who still hadn't retreated, and gave a disdainful sneer: "Just a few low-level infected, you think you can eat your grandpa? In your next life!"
Lin Xiao stomped his foot hard on the ground, causing the floor he was standing on to cave in.
The next moment, he seemed to disappear completely, his speed exceeding the limits of what the average person's eyes could perceive.
Several flashes of light appeared, and the four-limbed monsters were instantly torn apart, their flesh and blood splattering on the ground, staining it red with blood.
Lin Xiao acted as if nothing had happened, flicking the blood off the bone knife in his hand and slowly lighting a cigarette.
When Wang Qiwen saw Lin Xiao fight for the first time, his eyes widened in shock. He exclaimed, "Captain, you're so strong?"
Lin Xiao seemed to have been waiting for Wang Qiwen to ask. He turned around, grinned, and exhaled a puff of smoke, saying, "How about it? Handsome, right?"
Wang Qiwen didn't mock him as usual, but nodded: "Damn, he's handsome."
He said with a hint of envy, "That doesn't make sense. I have 'water control' abilities, I'm an elementalist! How come I'm not this handsome?"
Colin continued to observe his surroundings, then adjusted his glasses and chuckled, "Because the captain is at level five, and what level are you?"
Wang Qiwen sighed: "This mental energy tempering is quite difficult. I feel like it will take me another six months or even longer to reach the second level. Lu Ning should be faster than me, right? After all, he has more soul crystals."
Lu Ning was looking at the ceiling when he heard this, and he replied, "I'm already at the second level."
Wang Qiwen: "???"
Lin Xiao: "???"
Colin: "???"
The air seemed to quiet down for a moment.
Snap.
The cigarette that Lin Xiao was holding fell to the ground. He stared, mouth agape, utterly bewildered: "What? You're at Tier 2??"
Lu Ning glanced at Lin Xiao and nodded: "Yes, is there a problem?"
Colin looked completely bewildered, not even bothering to take off his glasses: "This is a huge problem, okay? Your mental strength has been tempered so quickly?"
"It's alright, after all, I have Soul Crystals. I absorb a little whenever I have time." Lu Ning's expression was very calm as he shared his cultivation experience: "Soul Crystals are relatively easy to absorb. I absorb one every day, and two or three when I'm on duty. Before I knew it, I had broken through."
All three of them had distorted expressions.
"No, it's one thing that you absorb soul crystals quickly, but aren't you afraid of mental pollution...?" Lin Xiao looked puzzled, then suddenly realized something: "Damn... you really aren't afraid!"
"This world is so unfair!" Wang Qiwen looked utterly disillusioned, his face contorted with despair. "Damn it, I'm still a long way from reaching the second tier!"
Colin then asked, "Lu Ning, have your abilities improved after reaching the second tier?"
Lu Ning thought for a moment: "The recovery speed is a bit faster. I committed suicide a few times before to conduct experiments and found that I could revive faster than when I was at level one."
The three of them: "..."
Lin Xiao was utterly shocked: "...You'd commit suicide for experiments just because you disagreed with someone? I admit you're ruthless!"
Lu Ning smiled brightly: "Because dying is very painful, it makes me feel alive, which is nice."
The three of them: "???"
Colin said with a serious expression, "...After you go back, Lu Ning, you should get another checkup to see how much mental pollution you have."
Wang Qiwen nodded repeatedly: "I suspect you've actually gone mad."
Lu Ning said in a serious tone, "I am a normal person."
All three rolled their eyes at the same time.
Lin Xiao looked around and said seriously, "Alright, let's stop chatting here and go in to investigate and see if there are any other patients with the disease."
At this point, Lin Xiao paused, then said in a low voice, "While you're at it, look for any survivors."
“Yes, we also need to find the corrupting incense here,” Colin said.
He then led Lu Ning and Wang Qiwen into the hall.
As soon as Lu Ning entered the hall, he smelled a very faint fragrance.
Wang Qiwen and Colin obviously smelled it too.
