Soul Trigger

Chapter 215 Crimson Alien World
Ji Li turned into an evil spirit almost instantly, and a pair of huge black wings grew out of the boiling mycelium on his back in an attempt to stop his body.

But the suction force was far stronger than any attack he had encountered in this world.

The black wings were instantly twisted into exploding mycelium, and his body was spinning wildly and uncontrollably in the scarlet sky.

In a dizzying vision, he saw a blood-red crack in the air in the direction he came from, which was shrinking at a high speed.

He didn't even have a chance to break free from this force, let alone turn back.

Feeling that the spiritual essence in the Well of Soul was rapidly decreasing, Ji Li simply withdrew from the evil spirit transformation to reduce the consumption of spiritual essence and gradually reduced the intensity of his struggle.

Gradually, his spiritual essence consumption began to decrease step by step.

Ji Li soon discovered some patterns. He gradually stopped struggling and managed to straighten his body. The spiritual energy consumption caused by the suction became weaker and weaker.

The more you struggle, the more your spiritual essence will be burned.

Not until the strange consumption on his body became unnoticeable and his current condition was barely stabilized did Ji Li realize that he was in a blood-red sky, enveloped by a blood-red pipe that ran through the sky.

It is not called a channel, but more like a translucent red membrane in an energy state.

The suction force was gradually disappearing, and was replaced by a stronger thrust coming from all directions in the pipe.

Through the pipe, Ji Li quickly took in everything around him.

Directly below him at this moment was a vast expanse of scarlet desert, and as his eyes swept across, it seemed as if something was disturbed.

Human hands carrying dense and strange human shapes emerged from the desert, wailing at him one after another.

Only then did he realize that the dense scarlet color below was not a desert made of sand at all, but countless scarlet corpses piled together.

At his current height, those corpses were as small as ants, and the entire "ant colony" below was rioting and boiling because of his gaze. They were crowded together below and made all kinds of wails and cries.

Are those blood monsters? The other world...

Ji Li glanced at the monsters and gradually calmed down after getting over the initial surprise.

However, such a vast scarlet desert is definitely not the other world of Aries Academy, nor even the other world of Silla.

And this red membrane...if he suddenly fell down, he didn't know if "Odin" could handle so many blood monsters from the other world below.

At this moment, a large area of ​​scarlet clouds appeared in the sky ahead, but Ji Li knew that any weather anomalies in the other world were definitely not as simple as what appeared visually.

Soon the red fog completely enveloped the place, and as the thing got closer, Ji Li could see clearly that it was not fog at all, but tiny insects filling the sky.

They were extremely small, crowded together in the sky, and rushed madly through Ji Li's body.

There were also countless insects trying to penetrate the red membrane and get in, but they were all blocked out by the red energy.

Ji Li looked closely at one of the bugs that was attacking the red membrane and discovered that the bug had a wrinkled old man's face with bulging eyes on its head.

With an exaggerated smile on his face, he bit the red membrane frantically, but to no avail.

The other insects also had various shapes, including old ladies, women, and men, each with dozens of expressions of pain or joy on their faces.

"…The joy, anger, sorrow and happiness of the entire world are written on your faces."

Ji Li slowly stretched out his hand, controlling his body's balance while lightly flicking the bloody barrier.

Suddenly, the barrier shrank, and a crying bug that was eating air on the barrier was flung away with a shrill scream.

The thousands of strange insects suddenly screamed, and the dense and noisy sound filled Ji Li's eardrums. At the same time, they all attacked him frantically as he was sent far away in mid-air: -
[The evil cluster is extremely afraid of your existence]

[Your soul core is throbbing, and your connection with this world is deepening.]

Feeling the burning heat on his wrist, Ji Li's eyes flashed with surprise:
fear?

Are these guys launching a stress attack because they are too scared?

But it’s so generous of you, let me give you some more.

Ji Li flicked twice more, but unfortunately this time he failed to cause greater fluctuations in the hearts of the Haki bugs.

Instead, the entire barrier trembled, and the thick cloud of Haki insects suddenly broke away from the blood film, and suddenly lost interest in him.

After confirming that it was safe for the time being inside this red membrane, and that it was not suitable to escape as the outside was full of bugs, Ji Li finally had time to think.

Why would the door of flesh and blood suddenly open and suck myself in?

This is his biggest doubt at the moment, and he doesn't know where this red membrane is going to take him.

He couldn't figure it out for the time being. Just when he decided to contact the rune circuit in his body to see if he could find a breakthrough in other directions later, the cloud of stressed human-faced insects had already passed.

The sky in front of me was still blood red, but it started to rain heavily at some point, and the scenery changed completely.

Before my eyes, a towering cone-like mountain replaced the previous scarlet desert and reached into the sky.

It was called a mountain, but it looked more like a giant spike as tall as a mountain, with densely packed tendons rising and falling on it, as if it was breathing.

They are alive. And that rainstorm was not an ordinary rainstorm. Ji Li looked up and saw a blood-red sea suspended above his head, dripping blood continuously, full of ripples and circles.

The whole world seemed like the delusion of a mental patient, bizarre and strange. Ji Li had the illusion of returning to Murphy's megastructure and wandering around in cyberspace.

As the high mountain was gradually crossed, his expression finally changed -

It was a terrifying red hole that almost sucked the whole world into it. The mouth of the red hole was connected by red membranes that were exactly the same as the one he was in at the moment.

And inside that red hole there are densely packed teeth, which are wriggling and closing frantically.

A group of multi-headed birds that Ji Li had seen before flew past the red cave, and were sucked in with screams and crushed in an instant.

A few survived the gaps between the teeth, and their heads screamed and wanted to fly away.

But a dense mass of scarlet men emerged from the gaps, climbed onto the multi-headed birds, and quickly ate them all.

The skin of those little people was bright red and smooth, reflecting a bright luster. They had limbs, no head and no neck, but their entire bodies were cracked vertically from the neck, with densely packed fangs inside.

After a few surviving multi-headed birds disappeared in a flash and were devoured clean, the little red people spat out some of the residue, as if they were disgusted by the taste of the multi-headed birds.

Soon they discovered Ji Li who was flying towards them rapidly. They immediately raised their hands, let out joyful and shrill screams, and started dancing on the huge teeth.

"…Sorry, I don't want to be turned into a snack yet, and I'm allergic to babies, especially those with genetic mutations."

Ji Li instantly turned into a demon. As his bony head emitted a vibrating roar, a pair of wings grew out from his back again. At the same time, his whole body was armored and he entered the normal state of splitting.

The pair of wings expanded to an extremely large area in the fierce wind, suddenly stretching open the red membrane.

Ji Li himself also burst out with thousands of hyphae, which hardened and pushed out of the red membrane in all directions.

But the red membrane seemed to have extreme stretchability. Even though Ji Li had stretched it to more than ten times its original volume, he was unable to break it.

Instead, the huge red mouth seemed to be aware of Ji Li's behavior. With a deafening roar, the entire blood membrane channel began to vibrate wildly.

The thrust suddenly accelerated, and the suction that had gradually disappeared before came again, almost causing Ji Li to enter a stalled rotation state again.

At this moment, violent black flames also ignited on Ji Li's body. Huge spiritual fire balls emerged from the front ends of the two huge spikes on his shoulders. The next moment, they exploded into spiritual fire pillars with a black background and white edges, bombarding the red membrane.

The red membrane vibrated even more violently, but remained intact.

Amidst the deafening roar, Ji Li also heard a burst of faint laughter. It turned out that countless little red men were crawling along the blood membrane at a very fast speed!

As soon as he opened his mouth, a column of spiritual fire energy that was compressed to the extreme blasted out. After the extreme energy impact and low-temperature ice explosion, the little red men remained in their original shapes and appeared in the passage full of spiritual fire at the same speed without any reduction.

This almost instantly accelerated Ji Li's escape. He no longer held back and directly integrated the red matter into the surface of his body.

The deafening roar instantly turned into a scream that reached the sky. The little red men stopped laughing and were replaced by a roar of shock and anger.

The next moment, accompanied by a loud bang, blood flowers exploded in the bloody sky.

The red membrane pipe finally exploded, and Ji Li's figure appeared in the bloody sky.

The monster was still roaring and screaming.

Countless little red men narrowly missed falling through the broken red membrane pipe towards the spiky mountains below.

Ji Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and flapped his wings behind him frantically in an attempt to steady his body in mid-air.

However, the quality of these temporarily manufactured wings still has some problems. The composition of the mycelium is not suitable for turning into feathers or wing membrane structures like those of bats. It is somewhat difficult to rely on force to support his body weighing several tons.

He could only open his eyes as wide as possible and glide to the top of a spiked mountain.

The red cave not far away was still roaring, but after Ji Li left the red membrane tube, it began to fade away and dissipated into the air at an extremely fast speed.

Ji Li also breathed a sigh of relief. As for those little red men who were completely immune to his spiritual fire breath, he didn't think that except using the burster, they had any chance of competing with such things.

At this moment, he felt a strange force pulling him——

It was different from the strange suction before. It was a strange feeling that was pulling on the soul.

It was as if something was attracted by his mycelium and was pulling him into a certain dimension.

Then a vision appeared in his eyes:

His gaze penetrated the vast blood-red sky. Below him were decaying cities, plateaus, forests made of flesh and blood, and thousands of roaring blood monsters.

At the end of the shuttle was a door of flesh and blood. What was different from the door of flesh and blood he found in the ruins of Aries College was that the door here was black.

He felt that he had suddenly gotten most of the way in, but behind the door he felt a strong sense of threat, as if there were countless deadly threats inside, as dazzling and blinding as fireflies in the dark.

Sensing, there were more than a dozen of them, and the soul trigger also emitted a surging and fatal throbbing——

Can't go in!
