Chapter 692 I Am the Flame 5

It was time to eat and drink, and a hot meal restored their tired spirits a lot.

But they still lacked the simplest and most luxurious activity at this time - sleeping.

"You guys take a rest, I'll watch you."

Lance said, and Boudica and Amanda had already turned over the folding bed and lay down.

Audrey was no longer surprised that the lord would come up with something, and she didn't have the extra energy to think about those things. Now that she was full, she wanted to have a good rest. Seeing them do that, she followed them and lay down.

Lance watched them lie down, and the smiling expression gradually converged, staring at the flames and falling into thought.

There was one thing he didn't say, and it was impossible to say.

You know, his strength has soared all the way from the beginning to now, and he has never encountered a bottleneck. Maybe he was also covered by spirituality, but after being promoted to Legend, he rarely improved.

Originally, he thought that the improvement was too small compared to his own strength, and the battle was not worthy of his blessing, so he didn't pay much attention.

It was not until he entered and consumed a lot of energy that he felt something. He realized that the blessing could only restore his physical strength, but could no longer improve him.

He vaguely felt that this [Legendary Realm] was the limit of human beings.

The battle just now made Lance feel the pressure that he had not felt for a long time.

It was not the burden brought by Boudica and the others. On the contrary, Lance was a little glad that he brought them in, otherwise it would be more troublesome to face this situation alone.

In other places, facing those opponents who are far weaker than himself, he can naturally open the unparalleled mowing.

But in the darkest dungeon, these cultists who have been corrupted by the "great blessing" but have also gained powerful power are a bit difficult.

The cult priests have high attack, high speed and armor penetration. If he is besieged by three cult priests, Lance dare not say that he can be unscathed. If he is even poked in the head, he may lose consciousness in an instant and there will be nothing.

Instead, the existence of Amanda and the others helped him share the pressure. Is it another form of "wall of flesh and blood"?

The ancestor has believers, and I have an army.

Look, I will send an army to send you to the sky one by one!

After being frustrated here, Lance wanted to send a messenger back directly and ask Greendale to gather the army to flatten the dungeon.

But the fact is that this is basically impossible. First of all, there are not many soldiers in the army who can face the dungeon directly.

After all, even people like Amanda are affected by the dungeon. The most feared thing for ordinary soldiers coming in large numbers is that they will be polluted and corrupted.

Even if nothing happened on the scene, no one can see what will happen to their psychology after coming in.

At that time, a large number of soldiers with psychological problems in the army will be like bombs, and no one knows when they will explode.

There is also the problem of strength. Ordinary muskets have no effect on them. Lance has tried it, and even hand cannons can hardly kill them instantly.

Ordinary soldiers who want to fight against the cultists here may only rely on heavy firepower such as artillery, bombs, and Molotov cocktails.

But the problem is that they are in an uncertain space. If something unexpected happens, it will be a big problem and everyone will be buried here.

And if the cultists get close to them, it will be a massacre, but it will become the nourishment of the ancestor.

In addition, Hamlet needs the army to guard him, not to send him to the mouth of the ancestor.

The most important thing is that the family disgrace should not be made public. The more people know about this, the harder it will be to hide it from history. Even if he succeeds in suppressing it, it will cause controversy.

Reason suppressed the impulse. He had suffered so much before, and this was not a big deal... huh?

Fuck you, I have never suffered this before.

If the army can't come, then the guards and heroes can always come. If I don't play the advantage tactics and fight you here, then why did I develop for so long?

He took out the [Messenger] and planned to let Greendale gather the guards and pull them over, replace the navy outside, and move a few artillery in to do it directly!

But at this time, Lance found a very strange situation, that is, the messenger was invalid and did not respond.

After a moment of stunned, Lance also reacted.

No wonder those cultists did not rush up in a swarm. It turned out that the power here was too strong and directly covered other extraordinary powers.

With the red fog blocking the line of sight, they didn't even know that something had broken in.

"Huh~"

Lance took a long breath, looking a little speechless. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Finally, he could only suppress the urge to call for help, and took out the materials of the Ascension Sect and began to read them...

This kind of rest cannot really allow you to sleep for a whole day, but more like a short nap of one or two hours, to restore the tired spirit and body through a short rest.

When it was almost time, Lance woke them up, cleaned up simply, and continued to clean up this level of dungeon.

The terrain here is actually not that big. Although there are forks, it is not complicated. It is just a simple symmetrical structure.

Although those scenes are hideous and terrifying, you will get used to them after seeing them too much.

Or maybe you are numb, because the fierce battle makes them have no time to care too much.

Break into another platform again and kill the cultists entrenched in it. It is still easy to solve if you don’t encounter the extreme situation where several cult priests appear at the same time. After all, there is Lance as a backup, and Wangcai gradually replaces them.

Instead, Lance retreated to the back to add blood, blow the conch to encourage them to increase or reduce pressure, or use guns and cannons to save the situation in some critical situations.

Of course, there are also endless blessings for Wangcai, Boudica and Amanda.

Too much spirituality is also a kind of trouble. It is useless for oneself. In Lance's eyes, Audrey is not one of his own, so naturally he will not invest in her.

Amanda felt the lord's gaze, and the fighting posture was fully exerted, changing the previous cautious posture, because she knew someone was standing behind her.

Boudica didn't think so much, she just knew that the boss asked her to kill these bastards.

The battle was over, and the others were easing up, and Lance went up to finish it.

I didn't care much at first, but I found a very delicate leather bag in the room.

Those cultists are not right in their minds, so don't think about asking them to clean. Just look at what the old house has been messed up by those bastards. There are all kinds of garbage and excrement.

But the dungeon should be a very sacred place for these cultists. At least they didn't see anything extra when they came in, as if these guys didn't need to eat or excrete.

This makes the bag look very abrupt. Perhaps they dare not touch only the things left by the ancestors.

Lance did not waste words and directly opened the bag. Then he was shocked and reached out to take out a strange-shaped musket from it.

The power contained in it was really surprising. As soon as it came out, it attracted Amanda's attention.

"Gun! How can there be such a thing here?"

"Who knows." Lance smiled and did not answer, playing with the musket in his hand.

Feeling the power, even he could feel the improvement of perception, so you can imagine how strong it is.

It is another legendary equipment, and more importantly, the negative effect is not great, and there are not too many restrictions.

"Try it."

Amanda didn't think Lance would hurt herself, so she took the gun immediately, and her face became surprised in an instant.

Pick up the gun and aim at the empty space. I'm afraid even someone who has never touched a musket can use it to shoot accurately.

"How could such a thing be thrown here casually?"

Amanda emphasized this to Lance again when she handed the musket back, but Lance didn't say anything, just smiled and accepted it.

He had seen something, but couldn't say it. Could it be that this was the equipment of the ancestor?

This thing was the ancestor's crotch. Lance knew it was shit, but he had to hold back his nausea and take it out like yellow mud, and get the Hamlet family out of this matter.

Fuck the ancestor!

He cursed in his heart, but he didn't show any emotion on the surface, and even laughed and pulled the topic.

"There's something else in the bag."

Lance reached out and continued to turn out the things inside, some gold coins and gems, and some rolled up manuscripts. Lance didn't open it in front of Amanda, in case there was something bad inside, it would be embarrassing.

"Let's go, continue."

Everyone didn't have the fear at the beginning, even Lance didn't have that passion, the continuous high-intensity battles really made them numb.

Until they encountered something new.

It was a battle without any surprises. It was nothing more than the several kinds of cultists that had been seen before. Boudica Wangcai rushed to the front, followed by Amanda and Audrey.

The battle was almost one-sided, but suddenly the sculpture on the side suddenly stretched out its slender tentacles to grab Amanda who was approaching to chase the ascended witch.

No one expected that there were hidden enemies there. Even if Amanda was more flexible, how could she dodge if she couldn't react?

However, at this moment, a gunshot rang out, and the lead bullet tore the extended tentacles at a faster speed, which resolved the crisis.

Lance held the strange musket. It must be said that the ancestor left behind was indeed a good thing. The faster and more accurate gun feeling could directly make an ordinary person a quick shooter.

Amanda, who escaped the disaster, didn't even have time to take a look at the thing. The witch was threatening them, so she could only stay away from here and rejoin the battle.

Lance had the energy to reload the ammunition while looking at the monster crawling out of the broken sculpture, and his expression was quite interesting.

To be honest, the flesh and blood mutations did not seem strange. Although Lance had long seen that the tumor was controlling the bodies of the cultists, it did not show itself after all.

It was just strange that the one who attacked Amanda just now was a flesh and blood monster that was completely separated from the cultists' flesh and blood, and attached to the ruined sculptures in the dungeon.

That thing was no different from the flesh and blood tumors on the cultists, whether it was the flesh and blood tumors formed by twisted eyeballs, mouths and blood vessels, or the tentacles growing on the tumors.

But this thing no longer needed the human body to parasitize, but attacked like an independent life form.

In other words, it was an independent individual and had self-awareness...

This thing regrew the flesh and blood that was shot off by bullets while wriggling, and then Lance strode over, which triggered its attack.

Several much thinner tentacles spit out from the flesh and blood and grabbed over, but Lance easily dodged them.

This was the way to attack Amanda just now, except that one was a sneak attack and the other was prepared.

Lance came closer because he wanted to continue to guide this strange augmented creature to attack him, only in this way could he collect more information.

However, he did not expect that the squirming flesh would immediately launch an attack and want to jump up and hug his face.

Could Lance tolerate this?

He shot directly in, inserted the gun tip into the fleshy growth, and pulled the trigger.

"puff!"

There was a muffled sound, using the flesh and blood growth as a muffler, the sound of the gun was much lower, but it was a pity that how could the flesh and blood withstand the pressure of the chamber?

A large piece of the growth was missing in an instant, and the flesh and blood exploded and splashed, falling to the ground from the muzzle like a puddle of mud.

It can be seen that apart from the wound torn by the lead bullet, the part that touches the muzzle is still filled with burning smoke. However, this thing is not dead yet, but is slowly squirming in an attempt to heal again.

That's it?

The battle on the other side ended quickly, and several other people came to watch this strange thing.

"What the hell is this?"

Amanda was almost attacked by a sneak attack just now, and now she is still frightened.

"It looks like flesh and blood growths stripped from the parasites on those cultists."

"I've never encountered it before. Will there be any problems if I appear here?"

While everyone was still struggling with this, Boudica said something directly.

"I wonder if I can just hack him to death?"

Lance also stopped searching for the source, smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, just chop them all to death and then go home and get some rest."

Lance quickly cleaned up the battlefield and continued on the road.

But as soon as he walked down, everyone realized something was wrong.

Because there are no cultists in the next section of the journey, but many of the sculptures on the road are abnormally damaged.

Broken stone pillars, railings and even spiked arcs were randomly scattered on the road, and obvious traces of battle could be found on those stones.

You must know that they fought all the way up without much damage. What kind of battle would it take to cause this situation?

What's even more troublesome is that among the damaged stone sculptures are lurking flesh-and-blood growths that you've encountered before, and they may launch a sneak attack on you at any time.

If you were to physically explore the path, you would probably have to pay a lot of money. Fortunately, Wangcai is here and you can go directly up to the ruins and kill them one by one.

The pressure brought by the environment was too great. Fighting against the unspeakable corruption kept their nerves in a state of tension, not to mention the need to be wary of lurking monsters. Even Lance was already a little numb.

"We'll pass ahead. Maybe we'll have a good rest then."

Fortunately, thanks to the convenient portal in front of me, I finally got through this disgusting road.

But when they broke into the next room, the scene immediately made Lance sigh to himself.

"It can't even escape corruption...?"
