Chapter 39 Dragon Vein
Judging from the current performance of Senior Brother Xiaoyao Sect, there is not much energy left just to prevent the expansion of the Shadow Realm, not to mention that there is a "variant" of "Gaia's Skeleton" in the Shadow Realm.
Watching with eager eyes.
Even if he still has some powerful trump cards, it is impossible to use them on a miscellaneous soldier like Erosion Iron Octopus.
The immortal cultivators in the Haojing City area are basically concentrated here. Nine out of ten of them were wiped out by the iron wire before. The remaining twenty or thirty people are already the entire combat force that can be gathered in the area.
At least for a short time, they won't get any support.
These immortal cultivators who have entered the Shadow Realm...the only ones they can rely on are themselves.
More and more iron-corroding octopuses are emerging from the ground, and the few monks at the forefront have fallen into a situation of being surrounded. Although with their strength, it is easy to kill the iron-corroding octopus, but the price of close combat is
They scrapped a large number of weapons and defensive magic weapons, plus their own body-protecting divine light.
In a place filled with abyssal energy, fighting a war of attrition against the iron corroded octopuses continuously produced by mother insects, let alone these twenty or thirty immortal cultivators, even a company of full-scale interstellar warriors from the Human Empire would not be able to do so.
There is no chance of winning.
These annoying bugs will pile up the corpses in front of the big men wearing can-like power armor, and then smear their blood all over the bodies of the Space Marines, bringing their flesh and blood with the proud armor.
Completely corroded.
Of course, if the Space Marines discover that there is a nest and mother worm of the Iron Corridor on a certain planet, then their first choice will definitely be to have psykers purify the abyssal energy in the nest area, and then use orbital bombardment to destroy it.
The entire insect nest was turned into ashes... If the planet was eroded more seriously, the possibility of directly calling in star-killing weapons could not be ruled out.
Lin Yi estimated that this group of immortal cultivators should not be able to bring out the kind of warships with orbital bombing capabilities. If they are exhausted, they will just call in a few "air fortresses"... but if they don't have enough "soul stones"
, no matter how many bombs you throw into the Shadow Realm, they will only be in vain.
It's even possible that the cannonball was decomposed at the molecular level as soon as it fell into the shadow area... It could still make a few splashes, but this thing couldn't even make a sound.
No, we have to withdraw.
Lin Yi no longer planned to pretend. He changed from slowly retreating to turning around and running, but he was still a step too slow - countless iron corroded octopuses emerged from the broken ground, killing all those who entered the shadow realm.
People were surrounded.
"It's over." Lin Yi lamented in his heart and had to pull out his weapon - his left hand was holding the enchanted dagger, and his right hand was holding the magical flying sword that he snatched from the evil cultivator... Although he couldn't drive the sword
, but as a cold weapon, the quality of the magic weapon is still much stronger than that of ordinary iron.
However, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it is nothing more than a consumable in front of the iron-corroding octopus.
Lin Yi glanced at the boundary of the Shadow Realm. It was about two hundred meters away from his current position. With the quality of his body, it would take at least twenty seconds to escape from the Shadow Realm by sprinting at full speed... But during this two hundred meters period
Within a short distance, there were nearly a hundred iron octopuses blocking the way.
Even if you use the Soul Talisman, it will be difficult to escape smoothly - within the Shadow Realm, the effect of the Soul Talisman will be greatly reduced.
……
……
When Lin Yi opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dimly lit dilapidated attic, slumped on a single sofa in an unsightly posture.
Lin Yi remembered clearly that before he lost consciousness, his hands and feet had been corroded by the blood of the iron octopus, and his torso was also riddled with holes... But now, not only were his limbs intact, but even
The pain and fatigue caused by serious injuries have also disappeared without a trace.
Not only that, Lin Yi felt as if his body had undergone an intensive surgery. His limbs were filled with indescribable power. With just a slight squeeze, the wood wrapped in the armrest of the sofa had turned into powder.
Lin Yi raised his head and looked across the way, only to see the eldest brother of Xiaoyao Sect sitting on an identical single sofa opposite, wearing a black leather windbreaker, a pair of round sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, with a playful smile.
Looking at Lin Yi.
"Hallucination?" Lin Yi asked subconsciously.
"No, this is the real world, including what happened in your memory just now, are all real. You almost died in the Shadow Realm, but I felt it was a pity, so I rescued you again
Come back." Senior Brother said.
"How long have I been unconscious? Where is the Shadow Realm? And where are the monsters inside?" Lin Yi asked immediately.
"Only three days have passed since that battle. Although we paid a heavy price, we finally sealed the Shadow Realm within the confines of Chang'an Town. As for those monsters - the miscellaneous fish, all of them have been killed.
And that big guy who looked like a candied haws of apple escaped as soon as our support arrived... According to my judgment, it should have escaped back to the No. 45 restricted area."
"It slipped away very quickly..." Lin Yi murmured. Obviously, there was a big difference between the "Skeleton of Gaia" that appeared in Chang'an Town and the "Skeleton of Gaia" he knew.
It would be more appropriate to call it a subspecies of Gaia's skeleton.
"By the way, don't you want to know how I rescued you?" Senior Brother Xiaoyao Sect said.
"Some kind of elixir that can bring the dead back to life and reshape the body?" Lin Yi moved the muscles of his wrist... This body has indeed undergone huge changes compared to before. Professor Kaya did not change the human bodies of their eight agents.
The purpose of strengthening their bodies is to hide their identities as much as possible, but Lin Yi's current physical strength is already comparable to that of high-level enhanced people in the original world - if these items such as strength, physical strength, and neurological response ability are digitized
If so, the level of a high-level enhanced person would be almost two to three times the limit of an ordinary person.
"It's not that simple... When I picked you up, you had almost only one intact head. Even if I put the elixir into your mouth, it would fall out directly from the hole in your throat.
..." Master Xing shrugged and said with a smile, as if he was chatting with Lin Yi about what he had for supper last night.
Lin Yi remembered that at the last moment, he activated the second soul spell, protected his head as much as possible, and forced his consciousness into dormancy - although doing so would be the same as death.
There is not much difference, but if another elf agent happens to pick up his head, there is still a glimmer of hope to awaken his consciousness and implant it into a new body.
Although the chance is extremely slim, at least it is not zero.
But Lin Yi never imagined that the first person he saw after waking up would be the senior brother of Xiaoyao Sect.
"Then how did you save me?"
"Based on the Xiaoyao Sect's rare treasure 'Dragon Vein', I spent a lot of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to reshape your body... Tsk, although I don't believe that creatures like dragons really exist in this world, nor do I think that there are creatures like dragons in your body.
