Such a terrifying monster seemed like an ordinary vegetable to He Ao, who attacked without even a hint of emotion.

He Bu looks... even more ferocious than this monster.

At that moment, He Ao also raised his head and looked in the direction from which the voice that had just warned them to be careful had come.

At that moment, the brown-haired, moon-like superhuman was standing at the door. He looked at He Ao, his voice trembling slightly, and slowly walked over, "Lord He Ao."

Where is your companion?

He glanced at the silent passage behind him and asked calmly.

"He's dead, we just..."

His voice trembled slightly as he slowly walked towards He Ao.

"We had just walked along the ventilation shaft for a few dozen meters when we heard strange noises coming from above the passage. The further we went in, the dimmer the lights in the passage became."

"After walking about one or two hundred meters, a gate appeared in front of us. The gate had a window, and we could see the silent metal corridor behind it, but the light was too dim, and we couldn't see anything clearly, either in front of or behind the gate."

“We reached the gate, and Asien said he heard something behind it calling us over. I told him to be careful, the ruins were dangerous, and not to go near the gate.”

“He wouldn’t listen to me, and I couldn’t stop him. He walked to the gate, found the gate switch, and pulled the switch.”

He paused, as if recalling something terrifying, and his pace quickened, "A monster that looked like a sea anemone was hiding behind that gate! It suddenly appeared, its ringed fangs biting into Asien's back..."

"Asien was eaten by that monster, blood... blood everywhere..."

He looked at He Ao, his body trembling involuntarily. "Several other monsters also ran in through the gate. I had no choice but to run, to run back, but they were all chasing me."

His eyes were wide open, filled with bright red blood vessels.

In the dim light, his bright red footprints were obscured by the dull metallic floor.

He opened his mouth and approached He Ao step by step, getting closer and closer until he was almost in front of He Ao.

"Watch out! Don't let him get close!"

A loud shout suddenly came from the entrance of the passage.

Zhang Yusi looked in the direction from which the shouts came and found the brown-haired 'Asien' standing at the entrance of the passage, his clothes tattered and covered in blood, looking at them with panic and worry.

The pure white sword light shone once more.

Chapter 614 Pollution (Mega Chapter, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

In that instant, sharp spikes pierced the cheek of the brown-haired man before him. Then, countless spikes, like a hedgehog's quills, emerged from the man's body, tearing his clothes and twisting his skeleton.

It was only then that Zhang Yusi realized that the back of the man who had been facing them was completely hollow, with twisted flesh and shattered mechanical fragments entangled inside.

A strong, physiological nausea surged through her. She was prepared to face bizarre, ancient monsters, but not to face twisted humans.

People are always filled with fear of things that resemble humans but are not human.

At that moment, the snow-white sword light collided with the sharp spikes on the man's body.

The sharp blade slid down the spikes that seemed to be a combination of machinery and flesh, and with a single slash, it bisected the man's body diagonally in two.

This man's transformation is not yet complete; it is foreseeable that he will be able to unleash an even stronger form.

However, He Ao had no interest in waiting for others to complete their transformations before attacking. The man's transformation speed was fast, but clearly, his sword light was even faster.

The two halves of the body that had fallen to the ground twitched, and more sharp spikes emerged from the shell, as if continuing the changes that had just occurred.

He stared at the body.

Through this mutation, the strength of this originally ordinary D-level superhuman has reached close to C-level, and this is before the mutation is complete.

Moreover, this man has already deviated from some human characteristics and has undergone some strange mutations. He Ao's attack that split him in two just now did not completely kill him.

The two halves of the body seemed to be starting to wriggle again.

He Ao mobilized his divine sense, glanced at the man, found the energy gathering line on his body, and raised his hand to strike again with his sword.

The mutated brown-haired man's body has two energy circuits with independent centers, like two lives forming one body. After Heo split him in two, these two centers can still support the energy circuits of the two bodies.

However, He Ao followed up with a sword strike, shattering both energy convergence centers in one fell swoop.

The brown-haired man's remaining body twitched, his eyes widened as if he were seeing some beautiful fantasy, blood spilled from his mouth, and a final sound escaped his hoarse throat.

"go home······"

He Ao sheathed his sword, took a step forward, squatted down, and reached out to wipe away his eyelids.

Zhang Yusi stared blankly at this scene.

He Ao's decisiveness, speed, and ruthlessness deeply shocked her.

Although she was frightened, she still possessed basic combat skills. At such close range, even if she were in her shoes, with her C-level strength, she knew she could never have done what He Ao did.

If He Ao's movements were even a fraction slower, the mutated monster of the brown-haired man would have successfully ambushed him. No matter how strong He Ao was, he would have been injured, and the monster would have had the opportunity to transform into its complete form.

That slight difference in speed can mean the difference between life and death on the battlefield.

And even if the attack succeeds

Then, almost as soon as He Ao realized that the monster had not been completely killed, he delivered the finishing blow, killing it with a swift and accurate strike.

This decisiveness and combat skills were something Zhang Yusi had never seen before.

This young minister seemed more like a seasoned warrior, having experienced countless battles and hardships, than any of the veterans she had met in the research institute.

"feel better now?"

He Ao stood up without turning around, and casually asked a question as he walked forward.

He had noticed Zhang Yusi's discomfort, which proved that she was a novice with little combat experience.

However, the fact that this girl was able to control her discomfort and quickly adjust her state during the battle proves that she has a strong ability to accept changes and self-control, and that she can change quickly.

In theory, Zhang Yusi shouldn't have encountered such a powerful monster after entering the ruins.

Normally, once you enter the ruins, you will be assigned to a relatively safe area. Although the mortality rate is still much higher than in the main world, it is generally within the explorer's tolerance range.

If you play it safe, you can survive.

Many E-level and F-level superhumans entered the ruins and were able to return alive.

In a sense, the ruins can also be considered a beginner village where you can level up quickly.

However, this situation is clearly not normal.

Zhang Yusi's situation is like preparing for the easy beginner difficulty level, only to be thrown directly into the nightmare difficulty level.

"Ah."

When Zhang Yusi heard He Ao's question, she nodded and followed He Ao to his side.

"Learn to accept, adapt, and control your emotions. No matter what you see, the first thing to do is to stay calm."

He continued forward, quickly issuing a warning.

He Ao could briefly protect Zhang Yusi in physical combat, but in this extraordinary world, the most terrifying thing was never a physical attack.

For Zhang Yusi, only she herself can save herself. She must quickly adapt to this environment and improve her mental resilience in order to have a chance to return alive.

"Ok."

Zhang Yusi followed He Ao, nodding as if she understood, and wrote down what He Ao said.

"By the way, do you understand the language of the Tia Empire?"

He asked slowly.

"I know a little."

Zhang Yusi nodded, "It will be needed when reading the papers on the Tia Empire."

"Did you understand my conversation with them just now?"

He Ao continued to ask.

"I can understand the gist of it."

Zhang Yusi nodded.

"it is good."

He Ao nodded slightly, indicating that the trouble of translation could be avoided.

At this moment, the two had already walked up to the brown-haired man named Asien.

"Can you tell me what just happened?"

Heo glanced at Asien and asked softly in the language of the Tia Empire.

The brown-haired man in front of him still had a look of shock in his eyes. His body was intact, unlike the brown-haired man from before whose back had been hollowed out. His body's energy circulation was also relatively stable.

"just······"

Asien glanced tremblingly at the brown-haired man's corpse and slowly spoke.

His version of the story was similar to that of the brown-haired man, except that the person who was tricked into opening the gate by the anemone monster outside was now brown-haired.

The brown-haired man attacked him as he opened the gate.

He injured the brown-haired man in the back while retaliating, but he was also injured himself.

After being injured, the brown-haired man ran back, and after closing the gate to block the anemone monster, he also chased after them, intending to warn He and the other man.

Finally, trembling, he stared wide-eyed at He'ao and repeated, "Lord He'ao, I feel something's wrong with this place. It's too dangerous, far more dangerous than any other ruin we know..."

He listened calmly to the entire story, then asked softly,

Do you believe your story?

"what?"

Asien was taken aback.

Standing behind He Ao, Zhang Yusi was also taken aback. She roughly understood the conversation between He Ao and Yasien.

Although she didn't know if what Asien said was right or wrong, Asien seemed like a normal person. If he were going to launch an attack, he should have done so at such close range, and he had just warned them.

However, He Bu seemed quite certain that the story Ashien told was 'wrong'.
