Chaos Heavenly Emperor Art

"What do you mean?"

Michael frowned slightly as he looked at the hole that had appeared on the rock wall. "Brother Longfei, are you saying that the fleshy cocoon has gone inside?"

Ling Feng nodded slightly and said, "That's one way to understand it."

He paused for a moment before continuing, "After Captain Scott took that scale, the life form of the flesh cocoon began to collapse. The Annihilation Beasts mistakenly thought that the flesh cocoon had been destroyed, so they withdrew immediately. But they did not expect that the life form inside the flesh cocoon would be so tenacious."

Freya nodded as well. "My guess is probably similar to Long Fei's."

"so……"

Michael looked at the narrow opening, barely large enough for someone to squeeze through while hunching over, and asked, "Are we going to have to crawl through this rat hole?"

As he spoke, Michael's brows furrowed, his face filled with disgust. "Me, the mighty God of War, supposed to crawl into this thing? Are you kidding me! I'm not going to crawl into it!"

Freya rolled her eyes at him, annoyed, and didn't bother arguing with this brute.

Immediately afterwards, she flipped her wrist, and a small, intelligent machine, no bigger than a puppy, jumped out from her dimensional artifact.

The machine looked like a spider, somewhat similar to the transport-type spider-like machines Ling Feng had seen before.

However, it is more petite in size.

Then, Freya raised her wrist and tapped a few times on her communicator interface. The spider-like machine's eight compound eyes instantly lit up with a ghostly blue light, and its joints emitted a faint hum.

"G-300, activate exploration mode."

Freya coldly gave the order.

With a soft "click," the mechanical spider's eight slender yet exceptionally strong metal limbs deftly supported its body, causing it to spin in place.

Freya's wrist communicator screen lit up with blue light, then displayed the spider's perspective and various environmental parameters.

"Have the exploration-type spider-like omnics already reached their third generation?"

Michael's eyes lit up. "I'll go to the Northern Underworld Military Academy and ask for one someday!"

Freya ignored Michael and continued issuing commands to G-300, "Go in!"

Click-clack!
With a mechanical turning sound, the G-300, like a real spider, leaped into the deep, narrow cave and disappeared into the darkness.

Infrared scanning images immediately appeared on Freya's wrist-worn terminal screen.

The narrow passage was covered with a thick layer of dark purple biological tissue, resembling melted wax.

This confirms Ling Feng's guess.

The life form inside the fleshy cocoon must have crawled into this hole, or perhaps this hole was originally formed by the "fleshy cocoon".

As the G-300 penetrated deeper, the size of the passageway visibly decreased.

It seems that as the waxy coating on the surface of the cocoon continues to melt, its size is also decreasing.

Freya seemed to notice this as well, her brows furrowing slightly as she murmured, "Such a bizarre life form, is it truly something that should exist in this world?"

"Freya, the opening is getting smaller and smaller. I'm afraid your little spider won't be able to crawl in!"

Michael's attention, however, was focused on the spider-like android.

Freya shook her head and smiled, then tapped the screen of the communicator.

The next moment, sharp drill bits and cutting edges popped out from the front of the eight segments of the G-300, and it began to excavate and compact the soil in one go.

Clearly, the narrow opening posed no challenge to this intelligent machine.

"keep going!"

Freya issued an order for in-depth exploration.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Everyone stared at the infrared image projected on Freya's communicator, not daring to breathe.

Michael, on the other hand, leaned against the cave wall with his arms crossed, looking impatient, but his eyes kept glancing at the images projected onto Freya.

About half an hour later, the image on the screen finally changed!

G-300 pierced through the last layer of viscous biofilm and entered an extremely narrow chamber almost completely filled with dark purple material.

In the center of the chamber, a fist-sized, slightly pulsating, dark purple mass of flesh lay quietly in a viscous liquid.

Its surface is covered with fine scales, and countless hair-thin, dark red tentacles extend from its edges, resembling blood vessels, deeply embedded in the surrounding environment, beating slowly and powerfully like a heart!

Seeing this bizarre scene, everyone's faces showed an expression of disgust mixed with revulsion.

What on earth is this thing?
Ling Feng, on the other hand, felt a strange sense of crisis creeping into his mind.

This fleshy ball, only the size of a heart, inexplicably gave him a very dangerous feeling.

"Finally found!"

A glint of light flashed in Freya's eyes. "That's it! G-300, initiate the capture program and bring that thing back!"

On the screen, the storage compartment on the belly of the G-300 opened, and two delicate mechanical arms emerged, carefully reaching towards the pulsating mass of flesh.

Tiny tweezers popped out from the front of the robotic arm, attempting to grip the edge of the meat and avoid touching the dangerous tentacles.

Just as the mechanical tweezers were about to touch the piece of meat—

A sudden change occurred!

The seemingly weak piece of flesh suddenly began to throb violently, and the fine scales covering its surface instantly stood up, like a hedgehog with its fur standing on end!

Countless soft, dark red tentacles suddenly straightened, like sharp steel needles, and pierced through the two mechanical arms extended by the G-300 with lightning speed!

scoff!

Immediately afterwards, the tentacles, as if alive, frantically wrapped around the G-300, instantly enveloping its entire mechanical arm and torso.

The tentacles secreted a dark purple, viscous liquid, and the G-300's sturdy alloy shell was rapidly corroded as if it were butter.

"Warning! Warning! External armor is severely corroded! Mechanical arm damaged! Signal...transmission...is under severe interference!"

The communication terminal immediately emitted a piercing alarm!
Freya's expression changed drastically: "G-300! Disconnect immediately! Initiate self-destruct..."

However, before she could finish speaking, the communicator screen had already been pressed.

The connection between the Spider-Machine G-300 and her communication terminal has been forcibly severed.

With the footage lost, no one has any idea what happened inside the cave.

The waxy objects scattered throughout the cave seemed to possess the ability to block divine senses.

Even Ling Feng's Infinite Vision was completely ineffective.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Ling Feng instantly drew out the Ten Directions Annihilation Technique, which transformed into a long blade and was held in front of his chest.

However, at this moment.

Om-! ! !
A chilling and eerie energy suddenly erupted from the depths of the cave, instantly engulfing the entire massive underground cavity!
Then, absolute darkness engulfed everything!
Not only sight, but even sound seems to be taken away!
The sound of wind, breathing, heartbeat...

All sound disappeared, leaving only a suffocating, deathly silence, as if the soul itself were frozen!
"Damn it, the searchlight still has power!"

"What exactly is going on?!"

"Why can't I see anything?!" "..."

After a brief silence, the entire group was in complete chaos.

Even the well-trained elite clergy were now running around like headless flies!
"Don't panic! Stay put and maintain vigilance!"

Freya's voice, carrying the penetrating power of her divine origin, forcefully suppressed the panic, "Michael, Longfei, protect Scott..."

However, the moment she finished speaking...

"what!!!"

A bloodcurdling scream pierced the deathly silence of the darkness!

It was Scott's voice!

Immediately afterwards, screams rang out one after another like a chain reaction!
"Ugh!"

"what?!"

"help me!"

puff!

puff!

The dull thud of sharp weapons piercing flesh, the crisp crack of bones breaking, and the heavy thud of bodies falling to the ground echoed in the darkness!

A strong smell of blood instantly filled the air!
"Damn it!"

Michael roared, and golden flames erupted around him in an attempt to dispel the darkness!
However, the blazing sacred flames could not emit even a ray of light in this darkness.

"What the hell is that thing?!"

Michael gritted his teeth. This eerie darkness seemed to be a special law that could devour all light.

However, because he had other companions around him, he didn't even dare to launch an attack, lest he endanger his teammates.

"Oracle - Eye of Wisdom!"

At that moment, Freya raised the scepter of wisdom high in her hand, and a dazzling purple halo burst forth from the top of the scepter!

The next moment, all the elite members of the clergy had a purple light shining in their eyes.

This is a kind of ability similar to visual sharing. Freya forcibly activated the original power of the divine authority of wisdom to see through all concealment.

The all-consuming darkness was temporarily suppressed, and everyone could barely make out their surroundings through Freya's shared vision.

However, the scene that came into view was chilling!
Five corpses lay sprawled on the ground!

Their deaths were extremely gruesome. Some had huge bloody holes pierced through their chests, their hearts missing; some had their heads twisted off, leaving only a bloody, mangled stump at the neck; and one third-level clergyman had half of his body seemingly dissolved by strong acid, revealing his bare bones and writhing internal organs!

It should be noted that among this elite group, even the weakest among them is at the Truth level.

And such a powerful figure was killed instantly without a sound!
The strength of that "hunter" lurking in the darkness is self-evident.

What's even more chilling is that Scott has vanished!
"Oops!"

Freya's face turned pale, as if she had realized something.

That bizarre "flesh cocoon" first possessed her spider-like android, and then used the dark laws to create chaos.

Its target from the very beginning was Scott.

Or rather, it's that strange scale on Scott's body!
Thinking of this, Freya felt a chill run down her spine.

A pang of regret suddenly welled up in her heart.

If I had known this would happen, I should have been more careful.

Even if we bring Scott here, we can't bring that scale back to this place!

That's so stupid!
And such a foolish thing was actually decided by her, the goddess of wisdom!
At that moment, Michael stared at the mangled corpses on the ground, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot, and a violent killing intent erupted like a volcano: "You bastards! Get out here! You cowardly rat hiding in the shadows! I'll tear you to pieces!"

He brandished his greatsword, golden flames burning wildly as he attempted to annihilate the monster lurking in the darkness.

However, it was all in vain.

Right now!

"Brother Michael! Watch out behind you!"

Ling Feng shouted sharply, and immediately a huge light shield formed by the power of the Star God was placed behind Michael!
The instant the light shield appeared, a sharp pincer-like stinger, as fast as lightning and shaped like a scorpion's tail, pierced the light shield fiercely!
clang!!!--

A deafening clang of metal clashing resounded deep within the hollow!
The violent impact sent a jolt through Ling Feng's body.

Immediately afterwards, the Star God Light Shield trembled violently and was actually shattered!
Michael felt a chill run down his spine, but his fighting instincts as the god of war compelled him to unleash a fierce slash at the attacker hiding in the shadows, even as he was caught off guard.

Chi Chi!

The violent sword energy swept out, finally forcing the monster lurking in the shadows to come out.

Under the discerning eye of wisdom, there is nowhere left to hide!

It was a twisted, deformed, and disgusting monster!

It still largely retained Scott's human outline, but its entire body was covered with an uneven, dark purple carapace, and countless wriggling, dark purple eyeballs, exactly the same as those on Scott's arm, grew from the gaps in the carapace!
These eyeballs spun wildly, flashing a chaotic and eerie light!

Its arms have been transformed into two enormous scythes covered in bone spurs and slime.

Its spine extends from its tail, which is three meters long and ends with a sharp barb.

That was the very weapon that attacked Michael just now!
What's most chilling is its head.

Scott's face was barely visible, but his expression was abnormally distorted, his mouth was opened to the limit of tearing, but he could not make a sound.

His forehead, cheeks, and even neck were studded with dark purple eyeballs of all sizes, densely packed together like bunches of grapes!
Even Ling Feng, with his extremely strong mental fortitude, couldn't help but feel an urge to vomit.

This is simply not from the mortal world!

A strong stench of decay swept over, and Michael couldn't help but take a few steps back. Looking at the monster's countless eyes staring at him, he felt a chill run down his spine.

"Hiss..."

The monster emitted inhuman hisses from its throat, and dark purple slime seeped from the cracks in its carapace and its eyeballs, dripping onto the ground with a sizzling, corrosive sound.

Clearly, Scott had been completely parasitized at this moment and had become the monster's puppet.

"What exactly is this?!"

Michael cursed loudly, his face contorted in a grotesque expression: "The Zerg? I've never seen such disgusting Zerg!"

Freya's face was also ashen. "I'm afraid it's no longer just a simple insectoid. It seems Lord Siyou's worries were justified. The insectoids have been secretly creating this bizarre monster for a long time!"

"Roar!!!"

Just then, accompanied by a roar, the monster launched another attack, bringing with it an incredibly foul-smelling gust of wind, rushing straight towards Freya!

Clearly, it has also realized that Freya is now everyone's "eyes".

Once Freya is dealt with, everyone will become like headless flies in the dark, completely at her mercy.

It seems that despite its extremely disgusting appearance, it possesses a remarkably high level of combat intelligence! (End of Chapter)
