Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 17 Ultimate Ability
Violent red flames exploded, and a large amount of super-high temperature flames in the enclosed space caused an explosion immediately, and a visible shock wave swept and spread.

The shock wave pushed the person who had fallen into the lighthouse away from the rough rocks directly below his feet, and he fell in an arc toward the sea.

Li Nanke's eyes went dark and his throat felt fishy and sweet. The blast of the shock wave made him feel like a rag doll that was thrown out roughly.

In his dazed state, he knew that he couldn't just fall freely like this.

Otherwise, if one falls into the sea from a height of fifty meters with the wrong posture when entering the water, it will be no better than falling on the concrete floor. Even with the protection of the sea scales, it is enough to cause serious injuries and fainting.

The wind was whistling in his ears and his vision was blurred. Li Nanke tried to keep his body vertical and tense, with his toes stretched out, one hand pinching his nose and the other covering his crotch, trying to enter the water with the smallest contact area.

All this happened in just three seconds!

"Pfft!"

There were splashes of water on the sea surface, but they were quickly extinguished by a wave.

Fortunately, his posture when entering the water was relatively safe, and with the protection of the Sea Scales, he did not suffer much damage.

The sea water is deep, dark, icy and freezing, visibility is very low, and due to the strong gravitational inertia, the depth of the fall is also very deep.

Li Nanke held his breath and shook his head. In a trance, he saw several blurry figures swimming towards him at a very fast speed...

He was shocked. He had just made such a big noise but failed to attract all the monsters away. There were still some heretical monsters hiding in the sea!

Now he is almost out of ammunition and only has 20 rounds of rifle bullets left from the small barrel of his stun rifle. However, even a powerful rifle has little lethality underwater.

The strong resistance of water makes the effective shooting distance of the rifle only 1 meter, and the effective killing distance is less than 70 centimeters. Unless the gun is pointed at the enemy, it is difficult to cause fatal damage.

In an instant, his mind raced.

Then, he poured all the energy he had just gained from killing the monster into the Breath of the Lake!
The large amount of source energy accumulated in the 'self' poured into the 'Breath of the Lake' like a torrent, causing the characteristic runes to shine brightly and flash continuously!
With the injection of a large amount of source energy, a strong feeling of coldness and chillness came from the lungs, and changes began to occur.

At the end of the bronchial tree in the lungs, tiny and dense gill filaments grow temporarily and rapidly. These gill filaments are composed of capillaries and covered with a thin layer of mucous membrane, which can efficiently absorb oxygen from the water.

There is also a special mucus layer outside the gill filament mucosa, which can not only prevent the invasion of microorganisms in the water, but also has the function of resisting infection and immune disease.

[Trait: 'Breath of the Lake']

[Level: Level 5 (7%) → Level 10 (MAX)]

[You have activated the ultimate ability of this trait - 'Underwater Breathing'! ]

Li Nanke suppressed his instinct not to breathe in the water and took a deep breath. A large amount of sea water rushed into his nasal cavity and poured into his lungs.

He felt extremely uncomfortable and wanted to cough violently, but suddenly he found that after his lungs were filled with sea water, his breathing became unusually smooth!
The energy consumed to upgrade from level 9 to level 10 was extremely high, but after filling up the Breath of the Lake, there was still a small amount of energy left. This showed how many heretical monsters had gathered in the lighthouse.

He simply put all the remaining energy into the 'Sea Scale' trait.

[Trait: 'Sea Scale']

[Level: Level 6 (81%) → Level 7 (9%)]

At this time, several heretic monsters had quickly swam over to the side. Some of them were holding weapons, and some had sharp claws on the ends of their fingers and toes.

Facing the sharp claws, Li Nanke tightly grasped the saw blade and slashed forward fiercely. The strong resistance of the sea water made the originally fierce slashing become soft and powerless. The saw blade chopped into the enemy's webbed hand halfway and got stuck. His heart skipped a beat, knowing that it was bad. Before he could turn around, a sharp pain came from his back.

An indigenous monster swam up behind me at some point and clawed me hard, tearing the skin on my back and causing blood to flow. However, the sharp claws seemed to have scratched hard metal, making a sharp, tooth-grinding sound.

He kicked the attacker hard, used the force to push back, and squeezed into the arms of the enemy in front of him. With his left hand, he raised the stun rifle and pressed it against the monster's chest.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Countless bubbles burst out, a large amount of blood overflowed and dyed the sea red, and the enemy sank limply into the darkness beneath his feet.

Li Nanke pulled out the stuck saw blade, twisted his waist and turned around, and the sharp blade swept across the attacker's neck, and then cut his chest and abdomen with another cut.

Just after dealing with the enemy in front of me, the remaining three monsters pounced on me!

The enemy's home turf is underwater, and his combat power is severely limited here. He simply attacks without defending, using a life-for-life fighting style...

……

Li Nanke surfaced, and a large amount of blood flowed out, some of it his and some of it his enemy's.

The sea was rough and the rain was pouring. Looking up, I saw the lighthouse on the shore burning fiercely, almost becoming a big torch, and there were still a large number of monsters gathered outside.

He dived into the water and quickly dived under the pier.

Fortunately, the damn steam carriage was finally warmed up.

Li Nanke quietly boarded the carriage. The sound of high-pressure steam resounded throughout the dock, causing the monster in the distance to go crazy again.

He smiled coldly, controlled the piston valve to adjust to the highest steam power output, and the steel-armored carriage accelerated forward!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The powerful power brought by the high-pressure steam and the thick armor on the outside of the vehicle body make this steam carriage like a steel chariot, and the oncoming enemies will be knocked away like rag dolls!

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the steam carriage tires rolled over the broken limbs and arms, leaving behind several trails of sticky blood.

The armored exterior of the car and the driver's seat glass were covered with minced meat, hair, and blood, but the incoming rain washed away all the ugliness and dirt.

The piston valves of the steam carriage are fully open, and hot, high-pressure steam continuously bursts out from the boiler, making a whistling sound while providing powerful and fierce power for the engine.

No monster with flesh and blood can stand against this mad steel beast!
The muffled sound of flesh being knocked off by steel plates and armor, the crisp sound of bones breaking, and the sound of tires rolling over limbs and squeezing out blood spurts all intertwined and echoed at this moment, and the flower of killing bloomed at this moment.

While the enemy had not yet gathered in large numbers, the steam carriage changed direction and blasted a bloody path through the encirclement.

Harpoons and spears were thrown sporadically, piercing into the steel armor and getting stuck, but they could not stop the carriage, so it could only continue to accelerate and sail away at a very fast speed.

Only a series of unbridled and hearty laughter echoed in the rain.

The blood flowed and dripped from his forehead, dyeing the vision in front of his eyes red, but his eyes were full of satisfaction and pleasure.

The soul that was numbed by the darkness of reality and the nature that was suppressed by the serious illness were finally sublimated and reborn at this moment.

Li Nanke even felt that, compared with the disgusting real world that was rotten to the core, only here could he feel alive.

Live so deeply, so clearly, so...real!
