Chapter 305 Devil Leeches and Corrupted Mushrooms

"General, it's not difficult to crack the password of this room. But the trouble is that the authorization level required is very high, and it looks like a bloodline authority restriction. Unless you can find a specific "authorized item", such as an ID card or something like that. Otherwise, it may take a long time to crack it."

"Go ask the people below if anyone has found something similar in the ruins."

"Yes, sir."

"By the way, can it be opened violently?"

"Almost impossible. I couldn't leave any traces on this door with a seventh-level [cutting card]. The whole room is made of a special alloy, and there are sub-god-level restrictions. I estimate that at least a ninth-level spell is needed to break the restriction on the door."

"."

After everyone was excited, they were immediately poured cold water by reality.

The password door of this room could not be opened, which meant that they would spend a long time here.

Legion commander Herman frowned as he looked at it.

But he couldn't think of any other way.

Since Toad has determined that there is a "jar" here with a high probability, they have a reason not to give up.

The Hydralisk Legion surrounded the central control room, thinking about how to open the door.

However, at this moment, the seventh-level voodoo master Heather was the first to sense something, and suddenly his expression was stern: "No, there is something in the water!"

Everyone was suddenly awakened by this reminder, and they all looked into the water.

They found something unusual.

Some translucent floating creatures appeared in the water at some point.

"Hey, Lao Luo, why is there a worm on your neck? I'll help you pull it off. What's the matter, can't pull it off?"

"Mark, it seems that there is one on your arm too. No, there is one on your neck, and on your legs"

"Damn it, what is this thing, how did it get into my armor? Help me get it off."

"No! These leeches have paralysis toxins, they are sucking blood like crazy!"

"."

The light in the institute is dim and the visibility is very low.

Those leeches are like chameleons, and they can change colors according to the environment.

So when people found out, everyone had more or less leeches quietly attached to their bodies.

The tricky thing is that they are like mosquitoes, and you can't feel them at all when they bite.

By the time people found out about the problem, they had already injected toxins and sucked a lot of blood.

The people around them hadn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet, and were looking for leeches on each other's bodies.

At this time, the voodoo master "Black Widow" Heather also picked up a worm and observed it carefully.

It looked like an inconspicuous leech, and the blood was highly corrosive after being cut.

And the next scene made everyone's backs shiver.

The body of the worm was still twisting after being broken into two pieces, without any signs of death, and the wound was healing visibly.

In a blink of an eye,

From one worm, it became two?

Like a copy, exactly the same!

Seeing this bizarre scene, she suddenly thought of something, and her expression changed drastically: "Be careful, this is the [Abyss Devil Leech]!"

This is an ancient demon worm that can suck a dragon dry.

I didn't expect to see a ghost thing that had long been extinct here!

It can break through the armor, split and regenerate, and is almost immortal.

A large number of them is a fatal threat to top powerhouses!

As he spoke, the seventh-rank warrior had a look of horror on his face, as if he had guessed some terrible consequences, and shouted in a hurry: "Quick! Everyone get out!"

Looking at the poison expert Heather, he was as if he was facing a great enemy, and everyone including the legion commander Herman immediately realized that something was wrong.

I don't know if it was because this voice alarmed some intelligent existence, the translucent insects that had been quietly sneaking in the water just now no longer hid, and suddenly lit up with fluorescence.

They rushed towards everyone in the ruins like a madman.

In a blink of an eye, the water up to the waist and thigh roots seemed to have turned fluorescent.

Looking closely, I don't know where they came from, in the water on all sides, densely packed, countless insects rushed towards everyone in the water.

The atmosphere of terror spread among the crowd in an instant.

"Ah damn! How can there be so many insects!"

"Help! Save me!"

"I can't kill them, I can't kill them at all!"

"."

Almost instantly, the green fluorescence filled the entire pool.

Those adventurers who didn't have time to react were instantly covered by hundreds of leeches.

The little bugs that were harmless just now.

Instantly turned into deadly killers.

The bugs easily bit through the protective qi, curse seals, and even dragon scales, sucking blood crazily.

Anyone who was soaked in the water was surrounded by the swarm of bugs.

They couldn't be killed, and couldn't be shaken off.

A bug was like a cut on the body, and blood was gushing out.

But in a blink of an eye, the bodies of those low-level card masters shrank almost visibly.

All they could hear was the continuous "splashing" sound of people falling into the water.

Death was like harvesting wheat.

Once they fell into the water, they were instantly wrapped in green fluorescence, and the bugs poured into their bodies from their mouths and noses, leaving them no chance of survival.

Even if there were people around them, no one could save them.

Everyone was busy with their own affairs.

On the second floor of the huge research institute, wailing and screaming were heard one after another.

"Physical damage is useless, use fire! Alchemical salt, alchemical salt works!"

"No, who brought extra alchemical salt, save me quickly"

"Quick! Use fire to drain the water element!"

"."

The adventurers tried every possible means, but physical means were almost completely useless.

Even if the leech fragments were cut into dozens of pieces by the sword energy, they could still survive.

In the blink of an eye, they turned into new living bodies.

Except for crushing them into ashes, they were almost impossible to kill.

Even if it was an elemental attack, except for the fire burning effect, other elemental damage had very limited killing effects on the insects.

Moreover, there were too many insects, and they had quietly attached to almost everyone.

If you really want to kill the insects with fire, you have to burn people together.

Not far away.

Ji Xun had quietly retreated to the iron cage where the toad was imprisoned.

But even he was very solemn in his heart.

He expected that there would be trouble,

but he never expected that there would be so many insects.

It was simply endless!

Moreover, these [Abyss Devil Leeches] were different from those encountered outside.

The ones here seemed to have more advanced blood and more bizarre abilities.

Unkillable, cut off regeneration, naturally high magic resistance

Ji Xun's pupils spread out, taking in the entire research institute.

He also found that these bugs did not attack randomly, but first quietly climbed on the low-level card masters on the periphery.

When they were discovered, the encirclement had been completed.

Ji Xun thought: "Are these bugs intelligent?"

Just like ants, a single individual may not have a complex consciousness, but their group will have some collective consciousness.

Or, is there any insect king?

The voodoo master "Black Widow" Heather obviously knew the origin of the bug better. Looking at the scene in front of her, she was already scared with cold sweat.

Just now Heather thought she could try to clean up these bugs, but she saw that the insect swarm had "intelligence" and immediately realized that it was not good.

Her tone became sharp again, and she shouted: "Retreat quickly! There may be a leech king!"

If it was just the devil leeches acting on instinct, it would not be a big problem.

But once there is an insect king, it means

They are not just insect swarms, but also individuals!

Hearing this, the legion leader Herman, who had transformed into a fire dragon and spewed fire everywhere, did not want to fight. He shook his body and burned a large area of ​​nearby water with a mouthful of dragon flame. The battle broke out and the dragon's might instantly swept the entire space.

However, when Ji Xun saw this, his pupils shrank slightly, and he felt that something was wrong: "The life level of this leech is not worse than that of a dragon?"

At this moment, the red dragon that Herman transformed into was also covered with fluorescent insects. Although the protective field was not bitten, countless insects also devoured the energy overflowing from his body.

The most outrageous thing is that the dragon's might did not shake the insects off?

This means that this devil leech is either at a level not lower than the seventh level, or its life level is similar to that of a dragon.

No matter which situation it is, it is not good news for Ji Xun.

Ji Xun quietly left the crowd before, and therefore avoided the area where the leech army attacked the most fiercely.

At the same time, because his own blood was polluted, he would feel uncomfortable after the insects absorbed it, which also made it easy for him to find the insects attached to his body.

The scalpel cut randomly, temporarily unharmed.

Ji Xun followed the people around him and ran towards the gate of the second floor.

Originally, he wanted to temporarily avoid these ubiquitous insects.

But before he could run to the entrance, he saw countless people on the first floor rushing towards the second floor in panic.

Seeing that the people on the second floor underground wanted to run out, there were people coming from the first floor who shouted to stop them: "Don't go to the first floor, there are poisonous spores in the air outside!"

When the two groups of people met, they looked carefully and saw that those who rushed into the second floor of the institute from outside were experiencing a terrifying scene.

As they ran, some granulation tissues grew on their skin that were visible to the naked eye.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the granulation tissues absorbed nutrients from the body and turned into colorful mushrooms.

Each one looked like a "mushroom man" from a fairy tale.

There were countless colorful mushrooms growing on his body.

But the more lush the mushrooms, the shriveled the bodies of those people became.

As they ran, they had already turned into a mushroom bag that provided nutrition to the mushrooms.

What's even more terrifying is that as they ran, the mature mushrooms also released some dust-like spores in the air.

"Damn it! That's a parasitic monster [Hell Corruption Mushroom]."

"Be careful not to expose your mouth and nose to breathe! That monster is a parasitic monster, and the hyphae it spreads will parasitize in the body through breathing and skin."

"."

Some people were still shouting warnings.

But it was too late.

Like a plague, the hyphae of mushrooms exposed to the air had almost covered almost every corner of the institute.

The card master, who had no means of restraint, had no time to call for help, and had already found that mushrooms had grown on his skin and internal organs.

Those mushrooms were frantically extracting nutrients from the body.

Ji Xun was a qigong master, and his body was covered with qi throughout the whole process.

The internal circulation of qi could also block the parasitism of spores for a short period of time.

But others were not so lucky.

Like harvesting wheat, people in the ruins fell down in large numbers.

Ji Xun looked at the tens of thousands of mushroom people rushing over, and couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling. He murmured in his heart: "The Bai family's methods are really weird."

The mushroom spores on this level and the devil leeches on the second level.

They are all plague monsters.

They are not very strong.

But it just gives people a feeling of not knowing where to start.

There is no way to deal with them except to avoid them.

But the situation now is that there is nowhere to escape.

The first floor of the institute is a dead end, and the second floor is also a dead end.

Even the camp on the ground is probably not in a good situation at the moment.

This situation is irreversible.

With just these two monsters, only one out of the hundreds of thousands of adventurers who came to [DP-955 Institute] can survive.

Ji Xun had long guessed that this was the Bai family's sacrifice.

Except that the method was a bit unexpected, there was nothing surprising about the current situation.

Judging from the current situation, neither mushroom spores nor leeches are fatal to sixth- and seventh-level card masters in a short period of time.

But when Ji Xun saw this, he didn't think it was over.

He deduced in his heart: "After the sacrifice, those guys from the Bai family should use their big moves to get rid of these high-level card masters from the southern continent. If you don't escape now, it will be a big trouble. Moreover, the main structure of this institute is so well preserved. If the Bai family really comes in in advance to obtain the right to use it, once the door is closed, they can't escape even if they want to."

If Ji Xun wants to survive, the best choice is to rush out as fast as possible.

But after thinking about it,

he felt that if he really wanted to escape, he might not be able to survive.

And once he escaped, he would inevitably expose some of his methods and arouse suspicion.

The most important thing is,

the only chance to rescue Toad would be missed.

At this moment, Toad was still locked in the iron cage.

But because the cage was above the water surface, and the few people from the Holy See also used some special methods, the leeches had not climbed up yet.

At the critical moment of life and death, no one obeyed the ban on approaching the iron cage.

Seeing this, the nearby adventurers and soldiers also clung to the prisoner car in order to survive.

A small iron cage, hanging hundreds of people.

When Ji Xun saw this, a touch of determination flashed across his eyes, and he decisively chose Aragon as the "survival anchor".

Compared to escaping, following Toad may not be more risky.

With this thought, Ji Xun also ran over in the chaos.

Like other adventurers, he hung on the iron cage in horror.

If you want to rescue the toad, you must first hand it the [Master Key of Jamil].

This is also the only opportunity to get so close to the iron cage in the past few days.

However, the cloaked men of the Holy See were obviously prepared.

They carefully stared at everyone in the iron cage.

Ji Xun did not dare to expose his flaws.

However, in the blink of an eye, the news that made everyone despair came again.

Before Ji Xun had the chance to hand the card to the toad, at this moment, the whole space suddenly heard the "click" and "click" gear bite sound.

"Oh no! The gate of the ruins is closing!"

"Damn it, we are going to be trapped here."

"Escape quickly."

"."

Seeing this, the people of the Southern Continent also realized that in addition to them, there seemed to be other "outsiders" in the ruins.

Moreover, those outsiders also controlled some of the authority of the ruins.

Now, even the legion commander Herman felt that something was wrong.

Before the door was not closed, they could advance or retreat.

But if the ruins are really sealed, no one can guarantee what will happen.

No one thinks that those who control the closing of the door will have good intentions towards them.

Now, either you try your best to rush out, or you will be trapped to death.

Ji Xun also keenly caught that Herman's eyes and those people from the Holy Church looked at each other.

As a result, they chose to stay here.

Because they also knew that if the "jar" was really in the ruins, those outsiders might also come for that thing.

If you go out, it doesn't mean that the jar will still be here next time you come in.

It's the people of the Hydralisk Corps who chose to stay. In the blink of an eye, the second-floor door of the research institute has slowly closed.

The retreat has been blocked.

Ji Xun looked at it, and a hint of solemnity and contemplation appeared in his pupils.

This research institute is likely to study the outer gods in the jar.

The high specifications are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Even if thousands of years have passed, it is not a big problem to trap these card masters who are only at the seventh level.

Ji Xun's eyes have been observing those people from the Holy Church.

Those guys didn't seem to be as anxious as they should be to be trapped to death, which proved that they might have other cards.

Thinking of this, Ji Xun was no longer in a hurry.

The spores had no effect on him in a short time.

And those devil leeches couldn't be killed, nor could they be killed completely.

But Ji Xun carried a lot of miscellaneous items on his body.

If he was really surrounded by leeches, at least the "alchemical salt" would be enough for him alone.

Ji Xun deduced the direction of countless situations in his mind.

No matter which one, the current situation was not a desperate situation for him.

However, Ji Xun knew that the crisis was not just that, and he thought in his heart: "What on earth do the people of the Bai family want to sacrifice these people?"

Just as this thought came up, the expected accident occurred.

Everyone watched, and some ghost-like spirits slowly appeared in the air.

Although these spirits were strange and varied.

But the most were snakes, insects, foxes, and crows.

Seeing this, Ji Xun murmured: "The four great immortals of the Bai family."

Seeing this, he already understood the purpose of the sacrifice.

As long as the incense is burning, the immortals will never die.

The Bai family used the souls of more than 100,000 people to re-condense the spirits of the immortals that had disappeared in this research institute.

Seeing those floating spirits, Ji Xun's eyes gradually became playful.

The immortals worshipped by the Bai family during the Talen period had combat power comparable to that of gods and demons.

If these descendants of the Bai family really awakened a certain ancient immortal, this would be interesting.

The people of the Hydralisk Legion looked at these immortal phantoms, and their expressions were not very good.

But at this time, the trouble was not those ancient immortals who had just condensed.

At this time, the countless devil leeches in the water also sucked blood, and they emitted strange green light.

In the dumbfounded eyes of Ji Xun and other survivors, those green lights gathered together, like gathering sand into a tower, thirty or fifty merged into a large leech, and then a hundred large ones merged into a larger one.

It turned out that these devil leeches could not only split, but also merge!

Seeing the monster getting bigger and bigger

Even the surviving high-level card masters used all their means, except for hindering the progress of the monster's fusion, they didn't see any possibility of killing it.

In the blink of an eye, the green light in the huge pool gathered into one, turning into a terrifying devil leech as huge as an aircraft carrier!

It is still continuing to merge and grow!

This is not something that alchemical salt can stop.

Even the fire dragon breath of Legion Commander Herman can only burn a piece of it, but it can't kill it at all.

In nature, the size of a monster is usually proportional to its combat power.

The little devil leech just now was not even a first-level, and the leech king in front of him already had a terrifying momentum to crush anyone present.

"Black Widow" Heather also had a very ugly expression, and said in a deep voice: "[Abyss Demon Leech King], I didn't expect this mythical creature to really exist!"

Herman on the side asked: "Can it be killed?"

Heather thought of the content recorded in the ancient book, and said solemnly in her turbid eyes: "This is the legendary 'undead creature of the abyss'. Once it evolves into the 'Leech King', even the dragon can't do anything. It can split and merge infinitely. Theoretically, as long as it has a little body, it will be immortal."

Herman asked: "What should we do then?"

Heather said: "We can only consume it slowly, but it has absorbed too much human blood. I guess we are afraid that we can't consume it."

This legendary creature, she has only read some fragments in the ancient book, and does not fully understand it.

When she said this, the expressions of all the high-level card masters froze.

However, in the moment when everyone was communicating, the [Demon Leech King] took the lead in launching an attack!

Its body was like a jellyfish, with countless swaying fluorescent tentacles emerging.

In a blink of an eye, the Demon Leech King seemed to have turned into a "giant caterpillar".

Ji Xun looked at those tentacles and suddenly felt a sense of fatal crisis with goosebumps all over his body.

He didn't know this monster, and didn't know what methods it had.

But the sense of oppression of death was as real as substance.

The monster was so big that all kinds of cards of the Hydralisk Legion flew and exploded.

Amid the "boom" explosion, the "whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh" sound of breaking wind suddenly sounded, which made people's scalps numb.

"Not good!"

"Be careful!"

"."

Several top-level card masters discovered something in advance and wanted to warn.

But the monster was so big that its tentacles were like tree roots, and they had already spread all over the second floor of the research institute.

Although Ji Xun also keenly captured the crisis, he couldn't think of any way to deal with it!

It was like a summer rainstorm, even if you hold an umbrella, you can't avoid it.

At a very fast speed, Ji Xun watched the fluorescent tentacles shooting from all directions.

He wanted to dodge, but found that there was nowhere to hide.

Even though he cut off dozens of tentacles with a flying knife, he was pierced through by several tentacles in an instant.

These tentacles, like the previous magic leeches, also have the "breaking power" attribute.

Ji Xun's body was easily pierced, let alone others?

In this moment, together with the survivors around him, they were pierced into one piece like kebabs.

The situation changed so quickly that people were completely unprepared.

There was no use even if they were prepared.

Card masters below level 6 were almost wiped out in an instant.

"No solution!"

Ji Xun quickly deduced various possibilities in his mind, but did not find any chance for him to survive.

He looked at the tentacles that penetrated the wound, and his expression was extremely solemn.

Even if he had the "Undying Curse", he would not die for the time being.

But what about the future?

However, when he looked at the toad and wanted to put the last hope of breaking the situation on this "anchor point", something unexpected happened.

A bloody little bat flew out from a ring on his right hand.

Ji Xun looked at him with a strange expression for a moment: "Wangcai?"

A thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

Since the only fatal method of the Devil Leech King against him is blood sucking, and the weapon spirit "Wangcai" of the [God Stealer Ring] can also suck blood

Which one is more powerful?

I will slowly make up for the chapters I owe later. I am busier during the holidays than usual——
