Under the mask was a bloody face, full of holes and potholes, as if it had been used as a piece of flower mud and filled with flowers.
The masks don't seem to be worn on these people's faces, but rather grow on their faces. As a result, their noses and mouths have degenerated, the tips of their noses have disappeared, and their mouths have grown together as if they haven't been opened for a long time.
Beneath the hideous wounds on her face, Xie Xuan could still see sporadic purple-black hyphae wriggling rapidly.
As the mask shattered, the hyphae began to wither as if they had lost their source of life, and soon stopped moving.
After the first experience, Xie Xuan directly threw the dagger at the mask next to him.
But just as the mask was about to pierce the second mask, the bodies of the remaining seven people seemed to suddenly melt.
It was like a scarecrow's body suddenly turned into a pool of non-Newtonian liquid and flowed to the ground. At first glance, it looked a bit like Xie Xuan.
The seven balls of liquid emerged from under the black cloak and quickly gathered towards the monster.
The cloak fell to the ground completely empty, and nothing was left of the seven people except a blank mask.
Xie Xuan also personally experienced what Qin Feng meant when he said that Paradise Lost did not treat the new humans as human beings.
This is simply treating the new humans as tools and consumables.
This is the kind of thing Xie Xuan hates the most.
Although she is now unable to confirm the authenticity of her memories of time travel, the emotions that the memories left in her are real.
No one has the right to play with other people's lives so casually and contemptuously.
Although she herself and even everyone in this era is just an experiment, at least she is now choosing the way to die with her own will.
Instead of being kneaded into a monster without dignity like these people.
Xie Xuan took the dagger back in his hand and blocked it at an extremely fast speed.
As she threw the dagger, she also stepped on another mask.
Xie Xuan broke two more masks in a row, but the remaining five masks were all integrated into the monster's body.
The monster, which originally looked like a low-quality product made of clay, began to change after obtaining the mask.
The head, which was originally just a small lump, quickly swelled up, and the limbs seemed to be adjusted into the right position, becoming more like a giant.
The five masks grow on the monster's head like the facial features of a giant, giving it an indescribable weird feeling.
The formation was completely activated, and the next second after the fusion was completed, Chongming, who had no time to dodge, was thrown out by a black afterimage.
The speed and strength of the monster were incomparable to what they had just seen. Xie Xuan didn't even see the monster's movements clearly before they were all knocked down.
Xie Xuan was knocked back several meters, and several of her ribs were probably broken. It hurt so much that it hurt even when she breathed.
Because she had been lying down for two days, her abilities had recovered a little and regeneration was proceeding slowly.
Xie Xuan's shadow then wrapped around the monster's body.
What surprised Xie Xuan was that the monster just now had almost no vitality, but after obtaining the mask, Shadow could clearly feel the abundant vitality in the monster.
And all this vitality is concentrated in the five masks on the monster's head.
Unexpectedly, after the monster evolved, it became full of flaws in front of Xie Xuan.
The shadow began to spontaneously absorb the life force from the monster without Xie Xuan's instructions.
The monster also realized that something was wrong and began to resist desperately.
"I can handle it." Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao said, "You guys move aside."
Chongming's body was very resistant to blows, so he was fine after being hit by the monster, but Xiao Yao and Song Zhixian were both seriously injured. Despite receiving two injections of treatment, they were still a little inconvenient to move.
After hearing what Xie Xuan said, they did not question it and simply moved to the side a little, using their superpowers and thermal weapons to provide remote support.
Xie Xuan quickly returned to the monster.
The two tall black giants wrestled with each other, and the ground was shaking.
The shadow's fighting ability is obviously inferior to the monster's, and she is the one being beaten most of the time. But if you look closely, you will find that the monster's size is getting smaller and smaller, while the shadow's size is getting bigger and bigger.
The battle lasted only a dozen minutes before the winner was decided. The monster was defeated without a doubt. After the shadow devoured the last bit of its vitality, the five panels on the monster's head completely shattered.
Then the monster turned into black dust and disappeared.
Apart from the pits left in the ground and the eight cloaks scattered around them and the dried mycelium connecting them, there was no other evidence to prove that the fierce battle had taken place.
Xie Xuan stood next to the huge black shadow, feeling that something was wrong.
This monster's weaknesses and characteristics are too obvious and too targeted. Whether it is the lifeless infected state at the beginning or the state with only vitality left later, it seems to be designed specifically for her.
But Xie Xuan thought about it and felt that she was a little paranoid. If the monster was really designed to target her special ability, it would not be full of weaknesses after evolving. It would be like it was given for free.
After eating, the black shadow returned to Xie Xuan's shadow.
The moment the shadow moved in, Xie Xuan vaguely saw the image of purple-black eyes in her mind.
But this scene disappeared very quickly, as if it was just Xie Xuan's own illusion.
She felt it herself and found that there was nothing unusual between the shadow and her own body. She temporarily suppressed her doubts and met up with her teammates.
"Finally solved." Song Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief. "Paradise Lost shouldn't send anyone over for the time being. We need to hurry."
Xie Xuan nodded, but Chongming turned to look at Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, why do you know so much about Paradise Lost?"
The question was a bit impolite. Xiao Yao was silent for a few seconds and then said, "The Ecological Organization and Lost Paradise have cooperated. When I was in the Ecological Organization, I worked with people from Lost Paradise for a while."
Song Zhixian frowned. Although they had also thought that the ecological organization that was obviously abnormal might be in collusion with Lost Paradise, they still felt a sinking feeling in their hearts when they heard Xiao Yao say this in person.
"So the Lost Paradise inside the wall and the Lost Paradise outside the wall are the same organization?" Xie Xuan asked.
Xiao Yao didn't say yes or no, only saying, "The people in the Lost Paradise I saw inside the wall also wore similar masks on their faces, but they weren't blank like this. They had other patterns on them. These masks weren't just ordinary devices to conceal one's identity; they held power."
