Life Dungeon Game

At the same time, the violent pollution surging into his mind also affected his movements. The bone sword in his hand trembled again after the impact and was knocked away, disappearing into a stone pillar next to him.

However, the broadsword in the corpse's hand was deflected, revealing its broad chest.

He Ao raised his right foot, spun around, and jumped.

Thinking he was about to sweep to the right, the corpse immediately raised its hand to block the attack.

In that instant, He Ao switched feet in mid-air, attempting to circulate the energy circuit of that heavy blow within his body. His left foot moved forward, kicking the corpse squarely in the chest.

The corpse's chest offered no protection, and it was kicked away.

Then He Ao raised his hand.

Get things from the air!

The bone sword instantly appeared in his hand, and then he swung it around, turning his back to the sword, the blade flashing in streaks of snow-white light.

The sword flashed, instantly rushing towards the flying corpse, like a streak of light and shadow, as the sword thrust out.

The corpse instinctively tried to retract its sword and parry, but the massive broadsword was easily deflected by the bone sword, as if it were a child's toy.

A howling wind swept across He Ao's back as he attempted to use a mental attack on him. However, his mental attack landed on He Ao's thick soul without even causing a ripple.

The sharp sword tip pierced through the corpse's body in an instant, piercing through its last energy gathering point.

This sword strike appeared light and effortless, but it was actually a heavy blow. However, He Ao used certain movement techniques to disguise it as a light and airy strike.

With a series of muffled thuds like bones shattering, the corpse stiffened, the energy within its body vanished, and the gray mist in its eyes dissipated, revealing empty, pale eyes.

This time, he did not use his fist technique, but instead combined the heavy impact of the corpse with the energy flow method of his own fist technique, thus 'replicating' the heavy impact amplification of the corpse.

“Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.”

He drew his bone sword and let the corpse fall to the ground.

This corpse was probably a hero who was stationed here and fought to the last moment, but after death it was turned into this kind of 'living corpse' and used by his own enemies.

He reached out and wiped away the corpse's eyelids.

Whether it was his imagination or not, he saw a hint of a relieved smile on the corner of the corpse's mouth.

At the same time, He Ao's divine sense penetrated into the corpse's body and quickly roamed within it.

Unlike the awkwardness with which it moved through the bodies of Jiaxi and others, the divine consciousness moved through this corpse with the lightness and agility of a fish swimming in water.

really.

He recalled the contents of page eight of the small book. The content of the painting on page eight of the small book was something that seemed to attract divine consciousness, which came down from his mind, traveled to his arms, and finally returned to his chest and then back to his mind.

After quickly circling the upper half of the corpse, He Ao pondered briefly before immediately controlling his divine sense to enter the corpse's legs, where the movement of his divine sense was still effortless.

He Ao frowned slightly, then gave a wry smile.

It seems his guess was correct.

After page eight of the small book, where it should have been page nine, the picture depicted no longer seemed to guide the consciousness to move within the body, but rather seemed to gather the consciousness below the navel, in the chest, and around the brain.

In other words, the book does not contain any content about using one's divine sense to roam the lower body.

When He Ao first saw these two pages, he vaguely felt that something was wrong. After all, his previous cultivation involved cultivating both the limbs and torso at the same time, so it was impossible that this only involved the upper body and not the lower body.

It now appears that the little book is missing a page here.

In other words, the page that should have been on page nine should actually be page ten, but the page nine that truly guides the divine consciousness to roam the lower body is missing.

It was because of this conjecture that he never began cultivating his spiritual consciousness.

Of course, another important reason is that before he obtained the jade pendant, his spiritual energy was always scarce, and he did not have enough resources to cultivate.

However, now that it was confirmed that a page was missing, he felt relieved.

At least page eight is probably fine.

You can try cultivating, but you have to wait until your spiritual consciousness is sufficient.

After circulating his consciousness within the corpse, He Ao began to withdraw his divine sense, but just as his divine sense passed through the corpse's chest, his movements suddenly paused.

On the chest of the corpse, several 'words' were branded by divine consciousness.

This is not Zone 1 text, nor Zone 2 text.

It was Denis script, specifically Denis script marked with a self-destructing symbol.

In an instant, He Ao understood the meaning of these words.

[Fifth floor... Escape... Outside... Be careful... Magic circle...]

This is not a complete sentence, but a combination of multiple words.

After He Ao read these words, they were instantly destroyed.

This is a message etched into the body by divine consciousness. Judging from the brevity of these words, it may be the last message this corpse conveyed before its death.

These are words that only those who also use divine sense can read; perhaps they are the last warning this warrior left for his compatriots who might come to his rescue before he died.

Unfortunately, this warning came centuries too late.

The soldier who died in the underground palace probably never knew that no reinforcements would arrive.

Because the outside world was also destroyed.

He Ao withdrew his hand, stood up, and stared at the corpse in front of him.

"it's over?"

Just then, a confused voice came from the side.

He Ao looked up and saw Fiya, covered in debris, staggering to her feet. She held her forehead, trembling as she adjusted her glasses. She glanced at He Ao, then at the corpse on the ground, her gaze blank for a moment. "I was unconscious for a long time?"

"Less than a minute."

He Ao answered casually.

Fia: (⊙⊙)?

"You killed this guy in one minute?"

She pointed at He Ao, then at the corpses on the ground, and then waved her hand somewhat dizzily, "Wait a minute, I might not be awake yet. Where was I just lying..."

“It’s not actually that difficult,” He Ao explained casually. “He was strong in the first half, I was strong in the second half, and then he lost.”

Fia stared blankly at He Ao, remaining silent for a long while, seemingly finally realizing she wasn't dreaming. After a silence that felt both fleeting and eternal,

"Now that you say you're a B-level, I have absolutely no doubt about it."

Strictly speaking,

He Ao spoke.

"It's only a tiny bit stronger than a regular C-grade, I know."

Fia immediately picked up where he left off.

He Ao chuckled to himself.

At this moment, Fia looked at the now-opened passage and asked, "Should we continue?"

The guards on the third floor are already at the B-level; the situation on the fourth floor would likely be even more dangerous.

He Ao did not answer immediately, but walked to the passage at the deepest part of the hall.

The silent passageway was like a beast with its jaws wide open, filled with terrifying pressure.

At the main entrance of the passageway, there was a sign that seemed to indicate 'danger'.

There was also a piece of information that seemed to require people to wear some kind of protective clothing.

He glanced back at the hall behind him; this hall might have previously been an 'isolation facility,' where operators needed to put on protective suits before...

You can proceed to the next level.

By this point, he already had some guesses in his mind.

He slowly stepped out and crossed the passageway door.

A faint, distorted murmur echoed in his mind.

The fourth layer is contaminated.

As He Ao ventured deeper into the area, the murmuring voice grew stronger.

He Ao turned around, left the passage, and returned to the hall. He looked at Fiya and gently shook his head, "There is serious pollution down there. I'm afraid you can't go down."

As a superhuman from the main world who hadn't experienced much pollution himself, Heo couldn't guarantee that Fiya wouldn't go insane after going down there.

They were taken down as people, but they might be brought back as monsters.

"Then I..."

Fiya paused for a moment, then looked at He Ao.

"Wait for me in the shelter we just used? I'll come back to you if the problem is solved."

He Ao sheathed his bone sword and looked at Fia.

Fia looked up at He Ao, and after a brief pause, she nodded gently, "Okay."

Fia wasn't truly brainless; she could clearly discern the current situation. She knew that, given her performance, as He Ao's teammate, she would definitely drag He Ao down if they went down.

For Heo, Fiya's abilities are very important.

The underground palace and the Newland city-state are close to each other, so the spatial influence is definitely not unidirectional. In other words, the space on the underground palace side is also unstable.

Fia's ability to 'open doors' ensures that the two can return to the main world normally in case of unexpected circumstances.

Therefore, when conditions permit, he will prioritize ensuring Fiya's safety.

After weighing the two options, hiding in the safe house on the third floor was the best choice for Fia.

Once they made their decision, they didn't hesitate any longer. He Ao quickly led Fia to the refuge room.

During this process, He Ao began to review the heavy-hitting skills he had learned from the corpses.

This skill allows him to unleash an extra 10% of power when using a heavy attack.

Although this increase may seem weak, it causes very little damage to the body and can be used multiple times.

Most importantly, this skill is not a direct 'copy' of the corpse's skill by He Ao, but rather a skill formed by extracting the energy circuit advantages of the corpse's skill and integrating it into his own fist technique.
