These weird things are all mine

"Miss Southern Cross, we have to leave first!"

Lina whispered, a hint of weakness and fatigue in her voice.

The price paid for Luo Ling's healing ability is not only her inspiration, but also Lina's physical strength. It can be said that Lina's current condition is similar to that after a day and night of long-distance running.

Upon hearing this, Luo Ling frowned slightly.

The troupe leader was moving very fast, so even if they left, they wouldn't be able to get far.

But if we break through the hatchery barrier nearby...

There was simply no time.

The troupe leader was watching them eagerly. As long as Lina dared to use her strength to break through the hatchery, the next thing to greet them would be the troupe leader's bone sickle.

"Please believe me." Lina took a deep breath, her expression serious, "I need some time... to reload."

"...good."

Luo Ling no longer hesitated, and immediately helped Lina up, then ran away from the troupe leader.

Lina had closed her eyes and was concentrating on "loading".

One of her hands was on the musket, and the other hand was slightly pinched, as if she was performing some kind of ritual, the inspiration in her body was stirring.

At the same time, there was a faint sound of ridicule coming from behind, and the troupe leader was mocking them for running away without considering their own abilities.

"..."

Luo Ling was silent. She was quickly thinking about everything that had happened suddenly.

First, although her spores were limited by the hatchery and inspiration and could not cover too far, they kept scouting around.

The appearance of the troupe leader and the slime beast was quite sudden. Luo Ling was very sure that she had not noticed their existence at all when she had conducted advance reconnaissance.

It was only when Lina was about to break through the hatchery barrier that it suddenly appeared, as if some kind of existence deliberately wanted to stop Lina.

The cause of death of Lina's teammates was also quite strange. It was true that the troupe leader was very strong, but considering the strength of Lina and her teammates, it would not be a problem for them to simply run away.

As they are both at a higher level, the gap between the levels is not a chasm. As long as the abilities are used properly, it is possible for the lower level to kill the higher level.

Lina was seriously injured because she was attacked by the slime beast and the troupe leader at the same time and had to fight head-on.

But how did Wilson, who turned into a slime beast, die?

The information Fiona gave Luo Ling showed that Wilson's path was "All Spirits", and he was the Paladin in the six-man team. The holy light created by his ability could not only resist most magical damage, but also had a powerful healing effect. It could be said that he took into account both defense and healing.

And the wound that nearly cut him in half was on the front...

"...There are more and more weird things, and they are more and more worth thinking about."

Unfortunately, Lina couldn't contact other teammates, and Luo Ling's spores hadn't found any trace of anyone else.

After running a certain distance, the troupe leader, who had completely eaten the slime beast, finally arrived.

Originally, only half of its body was left, and it could walk with the help of a bone sickle transformed from its arm, but after eating the slime beast... no, it would be more accurate to say that it fused with it rather than ate it.

A sticky and foul smell wafted into Luo Ling's nose. Turning his head slightly, he saw the troupe leader flying upside down in the air in an awkward way.

Its body was swaying, but it pounced towards Luo Ling and Lina at an extremely fast speed.

"hiss..."

A corrosive sizzling sound was heard, which was the saliva flowing out of its open, hideous mouth.

"how much longer?"

Luo Ling asked in a low voice.

"One minute."

Lina's eyes were open, her pupils replaced by ritual, with mysterious patterns flowing through them.

A little blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. This "filling" was also a heavy burden for her.

"I'll give you a minute."

Luo Ling pulled down his cloak, stood up, and turned to look at the troupe leader.

When he looked up again, he saw a pair of eyes with dark golden vertical pupils and some green scales between his temples.

He has not completely turned into a demon, but he has already used some of the power that does not belong to him.

After truly coming into contact with power and "taboos", Luo Ling had a deeper understanding of this power.

It is "devouring", "devouring" all the time, "devouring" everything.

If it were released completely, it could be another even more terrifying disaster.

so...

Just a little bit is enough for now.

The troupe leader swooped down, its speed much faster than before. After melting with the slime beast, it had already stepped into an area that was unattainable to humans.

The bone sickle was half hanging in the air, and fell with the wind, cutting a long gully in the earth, like a shocking wound.

However, a starlight shield was stretched out, becoming the only part of the wound that could not be broken through.

When the starlight shield appeared, Lina's focused mind showed some ripples, but she quickly smoothed them out.

"Mother..."

The starlight shattered, but in the next moment, the cold light arrived.

The sacrificial dagger "Absolute Blade" made entirely of true ice went against the trend and went straight for the troupe leader's bone sickle.

"'Death'."

Absolute death, even "high-risk weirdness" cannot escape.

But its killing skill takes time. When he realized that death was approaching, the troupe leader screamed and ran away, but his bone sickle had no way to avoid it and was directly cut off.

Unfortunately, when the sickle broke, it was swallowed by a ball of mucus and reattached to the troupe leader's wound.

The bone sickle healed instantly, and the other wounds were also intact.

"It's impossible to kill it..."

Luo Ling calmly put away the dagger. She raised her hand slightly and saw that her palm was covered with a thin layer of scales. The trimmed nails grew out in a mess, sharp and ferocious.

The deterioration is much more serious than in the past.

But the pure power alone is already far greater than before.

"Move aside for a moment, Miss Cross."

At this moment, Lina's gentle voice sounded again, with heavy fatigue.

After he finished speaking, Luo Ling turned slightly to the side, his eyes inadvertently passing over Lina at this moment.

Her golden hair was stained with blood, and some bright blood was flowing from all her orifices, except for her pupils, which were completely occupied by ritual patterns.

Under the moonlight, there are even brighter stars.

"Loaded."

Lina raised the musket with one hand, without even putting her finger on the trigger.

The ceremony with hollowed-out wings of light slowly unfolded, with layers of magic arrays pointing directly at the troupe leader from the muzzles of the guns.

It seemed that the troupe leader had sensed the approaching fatal danger, and an expression of fear appeared on his ferocious face.

Waving his wings made of slime, the troupe leader tried to escape from this shocking attack.

But...Luo Ling won't let it do as it wishes.

"Total domination."

The fungus strain burst out from the slime beast's body, completely freezing the troupe leader's figure at this moment.

"Perfect Kill."

Lina whispered a few words and the ceremony ended.

A star-lit avenue starts from her and its destination is the bright moon in the sky.

It also pierced through the troupe leader's body that was suspended in mid-air, completely submerging his entire body.

The deformed beast, which was at least equivalent to the 170th complete form of the Weird Sequence and approaching the "Dangerous Weird" level, met its end in the starlight.

"This blow... is very powerful."

Luo Ling stood there, feeling the residual power of the starlight, feeling a little frightened.

It takes a long time to prepare, consumes a lot of energy, and requires disposable holy relics, but its power is real.

Even...it was enough to severely injure Ji Ying, who had already transformed into an "egg" at that time.

Even if the troupe leader was stronger, he couldn't withstand this attack.

"is it?"

Lina walked to Luo Ling, then plopped down on her shoulder.

"But, Miss Southern Cross, I'll have to trouble you to support me and help me walk a few steps." Lina raised her head weakly, "You can tie my hands, but you don't need to bother me to wear a blindfold, thank you."

"...They all said that there was a reason!"

Little Odetta raised her head, her face still trembling slightly.

"Do you need to go see your old teammates?" Luo Ling's expression relaxed a little.

"No need, he's dead." Lina shook her head, but her expression was worried, "I just don't know, the other teammates..."

After being separated from her teammates, she never met them again.

It is a sad thing that the teammate you finally meet appears as an enemy.

"Wait a moment."

At this moment, Luo Ling's expression suddenly became a little serious.

"Melting..."

She whispered softly.

"what happened?"

Lina raised her head reluctantly.

"The corpse of the deformed beast we just killed has completely dissolved."

Luo Ling raised his head. The body of the troupe leader could no longer be seen with the naked eye. Only the few bloodstains on the ground proved that it had existed.

Absorbed by the hatchery?

Or did other deformed beasts appear and merge through the biting method just now?

Luo Ling's spores began to search the surrounding environment, but based on the previous problems, she no longer had much hope.

However, after searching for a while, Luo Ling suddenly discovered something.

"Wait a minute, this hatchery... seems to have expanded a bit compared to just now?"

Chapter 5: Half-annihilated (k)

At first Luo Ling was not close to the boundary of the hatchery, so he did not notice it.

It was not until this time, after noticing the deformed beast's corpse melting, that Luo Ling finally discovered that the scope of the hatchery had been expanding at an extremely slow pace.

Especially when the two corpses were completely turned into ashes, the rate of expansion increased significantly.

"Could it be that the weirdness in the hatchery absorbed their power?"

Luo Ling's heart sank slightly, as she thought that in the original timeline, the size of the hatchery was much larger than it is now.

What happened during this period...you can imagine.

"It seems that it is still quite active..."

Lina perked up a little, smiled helplessly, and a bit of bitterness appeared on her face.

This is not good news for them now.

"In any case, Miss Orion, you should recover first."
