Chapter 142: Super Lifeform
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Taking advantage of the fact that Blackie had yet to arrive, Feng Qi left Star City Shelter.
His next target location was the Scarlet Secret Base in the city ruins.
His question from back then was answered at this moment. Why is Suction Cup always in that area?
Because she was born in the secret base.
According to the normal timeline, the Scarlet Research Institute would always be suppressed by the dark forces and finally escape into the secret base.
This secret base was also a retreat route that the Scarlet Research Institute had prepared for him.
The Scarlet Research Institute was indeed gone on the surface, but it became an underground faction that still existed in the world.
Perhaps he could find the answers to the many doubts in his heart in the Scarlet Secret Base.
[Is there such a possibility that the secret base of the Scarlet Research Institute in this timeline was discovered and destroyed, and Suction Cup was not created?]
“Don’t jinx it.”
Rolling his eyes, he walked east along the familiar route.
Although the environment along the way had changed, he was not worried.
As long as the general direction was not wrong, he could find the Scarlet Secret Base.
After walking for an unimown period of time, Feng Qi left the burial ground.
In front of him were dilapidated city buildings. From afar, there was a hazy blood moon hanging above the city. The entire city was enveloped in blood, looking very sinister and strange.
However, what surprised him was that there was an additional camp in front of the city ruins.
This camp was extremely strange. The top of every building had a burning green flame. Compared to buildings, they were more like lifeforms because these buildings were slowly moving.
Feng Qi could also see figures wandering outside the building, but they were too far away to be seen clearly. He could not tell what type of creature it was.
While feeling curious, he immediately asked,
“Narrator, check out the situation. Am I going to take a detour ahead?”
[I’ve investigated. There are about 76 humanoid domain creatures. If you think you’re okay, I’m fine with it. I’m fine with taking an early vacation. Thank you, Boss.]
Hearing the narrator’s answer, Feng Qi felt ashamed.
He decided to take a detour and avoid this camp to enter the city ruins from the side.
After bending low and moving forward for a while, he could see more clearly.
The buildings in this camp seemed to be made of flesh and blood. The flesh membrane on the surface was constantly squirming, very similar to the flesh cave he had seen in the abandoned city.
The green flames on top of each building were like a power source, constantly absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth.
At this moment, flames rose from the top of the building in the center. A dark green eye appeared in the center of the flames, and a beam of light suddenly swept towards him.
The moment he was illuminated, Feng Qi did not feel any discomfort, but he was startled.
[Oh my, it’s over. This building seems to have the ability to sense the creatures in a certain area. Now that you’ve been discovered, run.]
Hearing the narrator’s notification, he did not hesitate and immediately ran north.
At the same time, a group of figures darted out of the camp.
If he saw their appearance, Feng Qi would definitely find them very familiar.
These domain creatures were the goat-headed demons he had encountered previously.
They had heads similar to an antelope, a human body, and a deer-like lower body. Their feet were goat hooves, and there was a scorpion tail on their backs. A dark green flame burned at the tip of the poisonous hook.
At this moment, they were giving chase in a group. There were about 20 of them.
After looking back at the situation, Feng Qi activated his psyche power and his running speed increased again.
Compared to fighting, he was best at escaping.
After all, there were many creatures that could kill him in the future dream.
However, what made him curious was that in his impression, the goat-headed demons were very cowardly. One ran away before the battle even started with Blackie. Why did they take the initiative to attack him?
[I advise you to have some f*cking sense. Blackie can kill his entire family, but can you? One of the common characteristics of intelligent creatures is that they can distinguish the strength of enemies and themselves. It can also be said that they bully the weak and fear the strong. They must think that you’re easy to bully, so they came to kill you. If they met Blackie, they should be the ones running now.]
Although the narrator’s words were sharp, they made sense.
It was obvious that the goat-headed demons had identified him as a hunting target, so they took the initiative to chase after him.
Without activating Blood Source, Feng Qi’s running speed was far slower than this group of goat-headed demons.
Realizing that he might be caught, he made up his mind.
Originally, he wanted to use the Blood Source ability to hunt and obtain another innate ability. But it was obvious that survival was more important now.
At this thought, he immediately activated his Blood Source ability.
As his heart suddenly beat faster, balls of blood mist were extracted from his heart and slowly covered his entire body. Soon, he was enveloped by the blood mist. As he ran, muscles quickly grew on his body.
His height was also driven by his muscles to more than two meters.
The changes in his body made him lose his balance as he ran. He suddenly fell to the ground and rolled more than ten meters away.
However, after standing up, he took another step.
At this moment, his speed had increased significantly. The distance he took with each step was more than twice as large as before.
The surging power that filled his body even made him want to turn around and fight back.
However, he was only thinking about it. Facing more than 20 goat-headed demons, he had no hope of successfully counterattacking. Escaping was the best choice.
With the enhancement of his Blood Source ability, he ran faster than the goat-headed demons and gradually pulled away from them.
However, what he did not expect was that this group of goat-headed demons did not give up and continued to chase after him.
From time to time, they would let out sharp cries at him, as if calling for their food to come back quickly.
As he continued to run, Feng Qi gradually realized that something was wrong.
Compared to the foggy west, there seemed to be many terrifying things in the north.
The path ahead was filled with eggs of unknown creatures. He could clearly see living beings squirming inside these eggs of different colors.
When Feng Qi approached a brown egg, it suddenly exploded, and a twisted little creature suddenly pounced at his face.
It was skinny and emaciated with a small tail behind it. Its skin was brown and its body was covered in mucus. Its expression was abnormally ferocious.
Fortunately, Feng Qi already mentally prepared. He suddenly punched the twisted monster.
Smack!
This twisted creature was instantly turned into a bloody mist.
However, this blood mist was not absorbed by him. Instead, it quickly fused into the nearest egg. Immediately after, this egg cracked, and a larger distorted monster pounced at him again.
Feng Qi had no choice but to punch again.
The next scene made his scalp tingle.
Like collapsing dominoes, eggs cracked one after another, and densely packed distorted monsters pounced at him. The path in front of him could not be taken at all.
What gave him a headache was that these distorted creatures would fuse as soon as they died. Gradually, distorted creatures stronger than him appeared.
[If I’m not wrong, these eggs are actually a whole. Therefore, it’s useless for you to kill one alone. Don’t continue forward. Otherwise, you won’t even know how you die.]
Hearing the narrator’s reminder, Feng Qi decisively turned around and charged back while asking.
“The narrator said that these eggs are a whole? What do you mean?”
[It is probably be a powerful life form that divided its body into countless parts and grow by Gu-nurturing method. Its ultimate goal is to complete self-unification and breakthrough its original strength realm.]
[For example, a powerful domain creature discovered that its strength seemed to be unable to continue growing, so it divided every cell in its body into a life form. Then, every cell devours the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth to grow. After breaking out of its shell, they will kill and devour each other. When one cell devours all the other cells, it would be a brand new life form, and its strength would increase greatly. This is a way to transcend itself.]
When Feng Qi heard the narrator’s explanation, he was shocked.
“If every cell is a life, how strong is its main body?”
[I’m just using an analogy. It’s not necessarily cells. I’m just saying that it divided its life into countless portions. I’m not sure if it’s cells or something else.]
“Understood!”
Realizing that the path ahead could not be taken, Feng Qi could only choose to retreat.
Facing the increasingly powerful distorted monsters nearby, he gradually felt pressure.
As expected, other than heading east, the other roads were not easy to walk on.
In his opinion, this road north was simply a dead end. When he reached the end of the slaughter, he might have to face the terrifying life form that had completed the “unification of life” as mentioned by the narrator.
Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
However, the way back was not easy either.
The distorted creatures around him became stronger and stronger as they continued to fuse. When a distorted creature more than three meters tall appeared in front of him, he could no longer advance smoothly.
After two consecutive punches failed to knock it down, Feng Qi immediately controlled his remaining psyche power and decided to jump over this twisted creature from the air.
However, just as he was about to activate his psyche power, the goat-headed demons that were chasing after him appeared.
Several balls of dark green flames smashed onto the distorted monster blocking the way, instantly crushing it into a blood mist that was shared by the other distorted creatures around it.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
“They’re helping me?”
[Not necessarily. It’s like a group of hunters hunting and discovering that the prey they’ve been chasing with difficulty is about to be eaten by the wolf pack. At that time, the hunters will definitely drive the wolf pack away to prevent their prey from being taken away.]
There were wolves in front and tigers behind. He felt that he might die early.
If Suction Cup was here, Feng Qi naturally wouldn’t be afraid.
However, the problem was that Suction Cup was not around. With his ability, it was very difficult for him to escape.
At this moment, the goat-headed demons charged straight at him and quickly surrounded him in the center, bringing him out.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qi simply stopped attacking.
It was clearly not a wise choice to attack the goat-headed demons now. He wanted to leave first and think of a way to escape from the tiger’s mouth.
As he retreated, the endless distorted creatures suddenly stopped and no longer gave chase.
Looking back, these twisted demons curled up, and calcified substances appeared on their bodies, as if they were about to return to their egg form.
“What’s going on?”
[It should be that when that super life form divided itself, it imprinted its territorial consciousness on every divided life form to ensure that no life form would leave this area, causing it to lose its power for no reason.]
[Simply put, energy will not be lost when fighting in a fixed territory. It will only become a part of other living beings. However, if it is too far away and exceeds the range of energy absorption, it will become a part of the lost energy.]
After understanding what was going on, Feng Qi clenched his fists and looked at the goat-headed demons beside him.
He was prepared to fight to the death.
However, to his surprise, these goat-headed demons suddenly raised their hands and knelt on the ground, muttering, as they watched him.
Seeing this scene, Feng Qi, who had already assumed the posture of the Ferocious Tiger Fist, was puzzled.
“Narrator, what’s going on?”
[How would I know… Could it be related to the statue that you shattered and absorbed last time?]
At this moment, the goat-headed demons that were kneeling on the ground raised their hands at the same time and bowed to him again.
“Narrator, translate for me what kind of f*cking language they’re speaking.”
[They say you’re a retard. 1
