Deep in the Living

Chapter 529 Unexpected Death
Because they tried to open the manhole cover, three members of the team were seriously injured in less than ten seconds, with only Yu Ze in relatively good condition.

But he soon realized that even standing still was dangerous; it only delayed the danger slightly.

Looking up,

The dense branches overhead were swaying, and it felt like they might break off at any moment and fall through my body.

The surrounding area is littered with animal skeletons left over from the slaughter, each one posing a hidden danger.

"Father is here!"

Libert's body, convulsed by the blown-out head, reshaped its mutilated skull through the internal monster. For some reason, the regeneration, which usually happened quickly, seemed unusually difficult today.

The same applies to Roddy, who was cut in half at the waist.
The spine is operating at full capacity, but its regeneration efficiency is alarmingly low, and its vitality is constantly being lost.

Footsteps followed closely behind from the woods.

The pine-headed steward brought his father here using a basket made of wood.

The father's voice echoed through the woods, as if every object capable of causing death was trembling slightly.
"Your performance was excellent, exceeding my expectations."

The fact that you were able to clean this place up in such a short time means that you are qualified to see the entrance, or even just touch it.

I originally intended for you to stop here, and the lady certainly wouldn't agree to you going any further.

However... perhaps we really need to make a change.

In order to give Madam a full explanation tomorrow, I'm giving you a chance—a chance to go down there and experience it for yourselves.

There is only one condition.
If you can touch me, I will open the manhole cover for you.

Of course, you can also refuse to experience it and go home now.

Make a choice.

Hua Yuan was the first to sit up. The back of her head, which had been pierced, was filled with flower stamens and countless tiny heads, each seemingly representing her true form.

Its regeneration speed is also the fastest of all, quickly repairing the penetrating wound. "I don't care~ Let them do what they want."

Roddy's situation is a bit more complicated; due to the influence of misfortune, it will be very difficult for him to regenerate his entire lower body.

He could only retrieve his lower body from the tree by swinging the iron chain out with his left arm.

Utilizing the properties of metal torture devices, the upper and lower body were forcibly connected, with obvious staple structures at the gaps in the flesh.

After confirming that his legs could move normally, he looked at Li Beite, the one in the team who knew "Father" best, and asked, "Can the four of us reach him?"

"There is a chance, but it is more likely that you will die."

Libert, who is usually confident and approachable, now showed an uneasy expression, or rather, he seemed uneasy about anything involving his father.

"Yu Ze, what do you think?"

"You decide, my fellow villager."

In his response, Yu Ze subtly conveyed a sign language message to Luo Di from an unseen angle.

"Let's give it a try. Can we start now?"

"can."

Just as the word "can" was drawn out at the end of its syllable.

Li Beite had already made a move, or rather, he knew from the beginning that Roddy would not waste such an opportunity, and he also wanted to show his father his "growth".

【speed】

On the surface, Liberty did not gain anything from the videotape incident, but in reality, from the moment he entered the videotape, he was absorbing the real fears in his environment, and his plants continued to grow.

If the videotape hadn't been forced to end in three days, he probably would have stayed inside indefinitely, waiting for his fear to be completely drained.

In addition, I also learned Wu Wen's running style during the final battle.

Now, Libet can not only quickly switch to a perfect posture, but also make his legs and feet exhibit some human characteristics, with a few white spots appearing.

Luo Di had just finished speaking.

Whoosh!
The space around Libett seemed to freeze.
The ground beneath his feet was etched with deep grooves, and he shot out like an arrow, causing ripples to spread through the stagnant space.

Almost instantly, he was right in front of his father.
She stretched out her arm, trying her best to touch her father's body.

With only a few centimeters left to go,
A perfectly smooth gallbladder appeared in the grass beneath Libet's feet, and he stepped right on it.

Friction changes, center of gravity shifts... Misfortune strikes, the [fall] situation will be forcibly triggered.

No matter how Libet adjusted her body, she could not regain her balance.

Not only that,

Because of his excessive speed, his inertia was also astonishing.

Whoosh! In the blink of an eye, Li Beite disappeared from the area. Several trees could be vaguely seen broken, but no sound was heard due to the effect of the talisman.

The fall sent him straight home, leaving a dent in the brass back door of the Wuxing Villa.

Libert's body slowly slid down the dented bronze door, suffering fractures all over his body and even damage to his most basic cellular structure, crashing to the ground like a lump of mud.

His eyes, however, were full of awe.

"Father has become stronger again..."

...deep in the forest,

Libert's experience did not frighten anyone else.
"Hua Yuan, let's go!"

"Ok."

The flower abyss is currently disintegrating, transforming into individual human-shaped flower stamens that burrow into the soil, fully utilizing the environmental advantages and blending into the surrounding flora.

She didn't rush to get closer, but instead spread out completely. As long as there was one stamen, she could survive and make contact.

call……

Roddy took a deep breath.

Because of Liebert's reference, it is impossible to make contact through "speed" alone; another method must be found.

[Cinematic adaptation]

Roddy wanted to bring his father and his butler, who was carrying him, to Crystal Lake to gain the greatest geographical advantage.

A buzzing sound, like an electromagnetic short circuit, echoed through the woods.

The effect of the domain dissipated instantly as soon as it reached the father's feet, and it could no longer take effect.

"As expected... it's not so simple to bring high-ranking beings into the film industry, let alone a top-tier being like Father."

The inability to affect him was also within Roddy's consideration, so he immediately reduced the size of the movie effect, so that it only affected him and a one-meter radius around him.

Transforming into the form of "Jason," he moved forward with steady yet heavy steps, approaching the past step by step, erasing anything that might be stepped on by his consciousness slash.

that's it,
Luo Di and Hua Yuan once again coordinated their movements, using a slow approach.

The weird thing is,
Nothing unexpected happened during the journey.
This only made Roddy more anxious, and he even had a bit of anticipation, hoping that an accident would happen quickly so that he could take appropriate action.

Nothing appeared again.

There were no branches hanging down, no slippery substances to step on, and no wild animals suddenly rushing out of the forest; it was completely quiet.

When they were two meters away from their father

Wow~
It suddenly started raining in the mountains late at night.

When he heard the sound of rain, Roddy felt an inexplicable sense of crisis! With less than two meters in front of him, he decisively abandoned his cautious approach and unleashed a burst of power.

The flower garden beneath the soil also began to take action.
The dense stamens attacked from all directions, surrounding the father in a circle, intending to touch his feet.

We're about to meet!

Just as Roddy's outstretched hand was about to make contact...

Drip~ A raindrop falls just in time.

An accident occurred... Roddy's four fingers flew into the air all at once.

This scene made his eyes widen in disbelief! These were clearly just ordinary raindrops. Normally, due to air resistance, the speed at which the rain fell would only cause a slight impact on the human body.

But before his eyes, Roddy's finger was instantly severed, like a bullet.

Hua Yuan is the same.
The dense raindrops fell precisely on her flower stamens, not one more, not one less, all of them smashed to pieces by the rain.

I have to find it!

Luo Di was unwilling to give up, even though his goal was right in front of him.

He immediately activated his hellish properties, and metal threads and tentacle structures continued to grow from between his severed fingers, even unconsciously presenting an asymmetrical structural form.

The father, who hadn't looked directly at anyone until now, turned his white eyes toward them, looking at the asymmetrical structure forming on Luo Di's palm, which in some ways bore a striking resemblance to his wife.

But... it still didn't work.

Drip! The rain falls.

However, this time the rain did not damage the structure of his hand, but instead landed right in the center of his skull... like a straight line running vertically through Roddy's body.

Damaging the pituitary gland

Spinal injury.

The person was instantly paralyzed, and the asymmetrical structure formed in the palm of the hand quickly collapsed, making it impossible to touch.

Losing consciousness, Roddy collapsed heavily to the ground, no longer a threat, and no longer harboring any desire to contact his father.

At this point, although the rain was falling on him, it no longer caused him any harm.

The flower garden hidden deep in the soil has also been damaged, its entire body covered with tiny holes formed by raindrops, and it is gradually withering away.

At this time,

Footsteps came from the woods behind me.

Li Beite shielded her head with her pure white hands, enduring the piercing rain, and walked back here using only her physical body.

The father nodded slightly in agreement, but quickly looked in another direction, trying to search for the "fourth person" in the team.

The other party had vanished without a trace, all traces of them erased.

Li Beite's recklessness, and the joint operation between Luo Di and Hua Yuan, all seem at this moment to be smokescreens, designed to draw attention to the "fourth person" and create an opportunity...
