I am Master Maoshan

Chapter 2318 Kidney Spirit

"Huh? These people have no vitality. We didn't detect them at all just now." The voice of AI-powered One sounded from the side, tinged with doubt.

As Liu Jun's intelligent assistant, the Brain No. 2 is equipped with all kinds of detection devices. Although Brain No. 1 has taken over the command now, its functions will not be affected, but this time it malfunctioned.

The voice of "Smart Brain One," a mentally ill person, was rather jarring in this environment. Those behaving strangely all turned around, casting empty gazes toward Liu Jun.

"Can you please keep quiet right now?" Liu Jun's lips twitched slightly as he lowered his voice and said to the AI-powered system.

He knew that in this environment, any sound could cause unnecessary trouble.

“No, I can’t hold it in,” AI-powered One replied matter-of-factly.

Although its voice was much quieter, the strange people still seemed to be able to sense its presence, and their gazes were focused more intently on Liu Jun's direction.

Liu Jun inwardly cried out in alarm. He knew he had to find a way to leave this place as soon as possible, or he might be surrounded and attacked by these strange people.

Before he could even figure out how to leave, those strange people had already silently surrounded him like ghosts.

Liu Jun glanced at them and his heart sank. He gasped in shock. These strange people all exuded a chilling aura; they were all quasi-god-king level experts!
It's important to understand that within a behemoth like the Heavenly Palace, the two Vice Palace Masters are incredibly powerful figures. Before participating in the God-Creating King Project, they were only at the Quasi-God-King level. This gives you an idea of ​​just how rare Quasi-God-King level experts are; each one is capable of causing chaos and bloodshed in the God Realm.

However, at this moment, thousands upon thousands of these strange figures appeared before Liu Jun, densely surrounding him and his companions. Conservatively estimated, there were several thousand of them. This immense power was enough to instill despair in any strong individual.

Faced with this sudden crisis, before Liu Jun could react, Cat Brother couldn't hold back any longer. With a low growl, like a raging lion, it charged out first.

Cat Brother was already quite powerful, and now that it has taken over the body of the God, it is even more powerful.

The God Lord's body is incredibly strong, containing terrifying power and abnormal defensive capabilities, making it difficult even for a quasi-God King level expert to budge it in the slightest.

Cat Brother is known for its agility and nimbleness, and with the blessing of this divine body, it has become an invincible existence.

Cat Bro flashed into the midst of the monsters like lightning. Its claws were as sharp as knives, and each swing was accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, instantly sending dozens of monsters flying.

The strange figures tumbled through the air, emitting mournful howls, but surprisingly, they seemed to have no real pain or injury.

In just a short while, the strange men who had been knocked away got up from the ground again, as if nothing had happened, and continued to approach Liu Jun and the others.

This scene weighed heavily on Liu Jun's mind. He knew these strange people were no benevolent beings, and they seemed to possess immortality. Such a battle would undoubtedly be a difficult and protracted war.

"Brother Cat, don't linger, go inside!" Liu Jun shouted anxiously.

Inside the cave, in the dim light, the figures of strange people appeared endlessly, like monsters crawling out of the abyss.

"Bang bang bang!" Upon hearing this, Cat Brother moved swiftly, clearing out dozens of monsters around him with his fists, which were like cannon fire, scattering the monsters in all directions.

His strength was astonishing; with a casual rip, he tore several monsters to pieces. However, these monsters seemed to feel no pain; their limbs wriggled on the ground, slowly gathering together, preparing to rise and fight again.

Cat Brother frowned, no longer wanting to fight, and began to move deeper into the cave, looking for a possible way out or a turning point.

Seeing this, Liu Jun immediately followed closely behind, constantly wielding his Netherworld Sword. Each of his swings was precise and deadly, slaying the approaching monsters one by one.

However, these strange beings possessed extraordinary resilience; even if cut in two, they would regenerate completely within a short time and rejoin the endless battle. Their bodies seemed to be driven by some unknown force, constantly regenerating and attacking.

"How the hell am I supposed to fight like this?" Liu Jun cursed inwardly, his face full of helplessness.

He knew very well that if things continued like this, they would eventually be exhausted by these strange people. So, he made a tough decision and imbued the blade of the Netherworld Sword with the phoenix fire within him.

Instantly, the Nether Sword seemed to be ignited, its blade burning with raging flames and radiating a scorching heat.

Surprisingly, the Phoenix Fire is quite effective. When the Nether Sword, wreathed in flames, slashed at the monsters, those touched by the flames instantly let out shrill screams as their bodies were rapidly consumed by the flames and turned to ashes.

The characteristic of the phoenix fire is that once it touches you, it will cling to you like a maggot, and will not be extinguished until it is completely burned away.

Liu Jun refused to believe it. "They've all been burned to ashes, how can they be reassembled? Can't you explain things scientifically?"

Fortunately, although these things have a maximum regeneration ability, they still conform to certain scientific laws. At the very least, they did not come back to life after being burned to ashes.

Seeing how effective Liu Jun's move was, Cat Brother's eyes flashed with surprise. He immediately quickened his pace and joined Liu Jun in the fight, the two advancing deeper into the cavern. Along the way, Liu Jun continuously unleashed Phoenix Fire with the Nether Sword, while Cat Brother, ever the player, would grab a monster and throw it onto the already burning monster, thus burning both of them with Phoenix Fire.

Although there were many strange people, the two of them cleared them out quickly and moved forward rapidly, constantly getting closer to the depths of the cave.

Their figures faded into the distance amidst the flames, leaving behind only the grotesque remains of a monster, burned to ashes by the phoenix fire, and the lingering smell of burning flesh.

Time passed quietly, and after nearly an hour of fighting, Liu Jun and Cat Brother finally reached the depths of the cave just as the spiritual energy was about to run out.

The light inside the cave was even dimmer than outside, and the air was filled with an indescribable sense of oppression and mystery.

Liu Jun and Cat Brother proceeded cautiously, each step filled with vigilance. They didn't know if any terrifying beings lurked here, nor whether any restrictions had been set up that would cause those normally regenerative and fearless monsters to retreat after they entered this area, not daring to approach even a fraction closer.

"Number One, come out." Liu Jun called out softly, summoning the AI ​​Number One again.

The AI-powered system appeared spinning around, hovering beside Liu Jun, its red light flashing, and it once again carefully scanned the surrounding environment.

"What's wrong? Keep going, we're almost there." The voice of AI-powered One carried a hint of confusion.

Liu Jun frowned, a strange unease rising in his heart. He didn't know where this unease came from, but ever since those strange people appeared, he had had a bad feeling.

At this moment, he felt a dull pain in his lower back, as if something was tearing at his body, making it difficult for him to concentrate.

"Is Ru Shou's treasure really inside? Are you sure?" Liu Jun asked the AI-powered system, trying to confirm despite his discomfort.

Upon hearing this, AI-Powered One paused slightly before replying, "Uh, a treasure? Well, from a certain angle, it is indeed a treasure, it's inside. However..." It stopped abruptly before finishing its sentence, as if it had sensed something unusual.

Seeing this, Liu Jun felt even more uneasy. He gripped his weapon tightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily, fearing that some danger might suddenly strike. Cat Brother, meanwhile, stayed close to him, his fur standing on end, clearly sensing the unusual aura as well.

Just then, a deep rumbling sound suddenly came from the depths of the cave, as if something was awakening.

"What the heck?" Liu Jun and Cat Brother stared in shock at the enormous creature that had sprung out from the distance.

Well, it's not that this thing is terrifying, but rather that it looks incredibly bizarre.

It looks a bit like a broad bean that has come to life, but it is much larger than a broad bean, comparable to an elephant, and has several thin membranes on its surface, inside which you can vaguely see things that look like blood vessels.

"Is this the kidney of the Boss Ru Shou?" The AI ​​No. 1 explained in a tone that was almost teasing but also mysterious, its electronically synthesized voice carrying an indescribable strangeness.

"???" Liu Jun and Cat Brother turned their heads almost simultaneously, staring at the AI ​​No. 1 with puzzled expressions and astonishment in their eyes.

They had only one thought: was this guy's system malfunctioning and he starting to talk nonsense?
"Are you sure?" After a brief silence, Liu Jun finally couldn't help but ask, his voice filled with disbelief.

"Look closely, isn't that a kidney?" Instead of giving a direct answer, AI-powered One posed a counter-question while simultaneously projecting a clear image into the air.

In the image, an organ almost identical to the "giant kidney" bouncing in the distance was clearly visible.

Liu Jun's gaze darted back and forth between the projection and the bouncing "kidney spirit," and the more he compared them, the more surprised he became.

This isn't some kind of monster, it's clearly a living, breathing kidney that has come to life!
Rubbing his temples, Liu Jun sighed, "I was wondering what this kidney demon meant when it roared and jumped over here? Did it want to fight us?"

Although he had experienced countless battles and seen many kinds of demons, beasts, spirits, and strange creatures, this was the first time he had encountered a "kidney spirit" that appeared directly in the form of human organs. Before this, he had never dared to imagine that such a peculiar creature could exist in the world.

Although the cat couldn't speak, its face was filled with shock and confusion. Its eyes were wide open, and its mouth was slightly agape, as if it were also trying to process this astonishing information. The expression of utter disbelief was especially evident even though it couldn't speak.

The atmosphere around them suddenly became extremely strange. The three of them (a cat, a smart brain, and a human) remained in a stalemate until the "kidney spirit" let out another deafening roar, which pulled them back to reality.

Liu Jun took a deep breath, his eyes gradually hardening. No matter who this "kidney spirit" was, or whose kidney it was, since they had encountered it and it was coming at them, they absolutely could not back down.

To his surprise, after the kidney spirit jumped over, it stood there stiffly, motionless, as if a master had struck its pressure point, maintaining its leaping posture, which looked both strange and comical.

"Wow, these kidneys are huge!" Liu Jun exclaimed, his eyes wide.

Before, from a distance, I could vaguely make out that this thing was quite large, but it was nowhere near as clear as when it jumped right in front of me. Now, the kidney demon stood before me like a small mountain, emitting a faint glow, making me gasp in astonishment.
