Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Moreover, the entire interior of the passageway was in a state of chaos.

The walls were covered with charred marks from the energy burning and huge claw marks.

The mixed odor in the air became even stronger and more nauseating.

The unusual reaction here made Jiang Nian's eyes widen.

It's hard to imagine what terrible thing could have happened to leave so many strange and terrifying marks on the ground.

Everywhere was extremely bloody, as if a terrifying battle had taken place here.

It's important to understand that this is just a simple laboratory, and none of the laboratory members who remain here possess any real combat capabilities.

The fact that such a fierce battle could erupt here suggests that something unexpected must have happened inside the laboratory.

"The residual energy reading is extremely high and highly unstable, with periodic pulse peaks."

The detector screen in the barrier's hand kept flashing red warnings.

"We suggest speeding up the operation, as a secondary energy burst could occur at any time here."

"Received. Lingque, try to restore lighting and surveillance in some areas, even if it's just a few clips. Consultant Jiang, please provide directions."

The ghost's voice came through the mask.

This team, being a professional one, quickly realized the unexpected situation, just like Jiang Nian.

At the same time, what made them even smarter was that they immediately handed the target over to Jiang Nian.

After all, they knew that with their own technological equipment, it would be difficult to achieve their goal of guiding the way.

But Jiang Nian is different; with his martial arts skills, he can more easily help them find the right path.

Even avoiding danger
Jiang Nian nodded, focusing his divine sense to its limit, letting it extend forward like tentacles.

Despite the interference, he could still vaguely perceive the core area where the energy flow was most chaotic.

"To the left, deep into the main passage. The life there reacts strangely, full of violence and chaos, yet it seems to be bound by some kind of force."

Jiang Nian said in a deep voice, and took the lead.

Just as he suspected, something unexpected had happened ahead, and this chaos was likely due to the lingering aura left after a battle between several martial artists.

Clearly, this mysterious organization is not only exceptionally terrifying in the field of technology.

It also contains some powerful martial artists.

It's even possible that they've been modified by technology, which is why their auras have become chaotic and elusive.
The Dark Blade team followed closely behind.

The three worked together seamlessly, with the barrier responsible for detecting the environment and providing support through energy barriers.

The Sparrow was responsible for technical decryption and communication attempts, while the Ghost served as the vanguard and tactical commander.

The three of them worked together very well, and even Jiang Nian, who was watching from the side, kept praising them.

It's likely that the three of them could complete the mission perfectly without even using their own abilities.

It's just that by using oneself, one can avoid the main dangers and make things easier.

At this moment, Jiang Nian is like the most sensitive radar, helping them to warn of the dangers ahead.

The scenery along the way became increasingly shocking.

They passed several laboratories that had been completely destroyed.

The culture tank broke, and the solution and experimental material inside mixed together and flowed all over the ground.

Some of the experimental subjects exhibited a horrifying appearance, a patchwork of multiple species.

Some are completely quantifiable.

Some rooms still bear the marks of a fierce battle, with the bodies of guards interspersed with the bizarre remains of attackers.

These attackers wore uniform black combat suits, but their bodies showed signs of modification to varying degrees.

Similar to the clone warriors Jiang Nian had encountered before, but seemingly more primitive and wild.

"These are not mature clones, but more like failed products or consumables."

The sparrow examined the remains of an attacker and whispered.

"Their gene sequences are extremely unstable, as if they were forcibly catalyzed."

They were not entirely unaware that the war that had occurred at Base 3 had taken place previously.

Before specifically calling them over, Bai Yongxu also told them all about the past battle history.

This includes the clones and adversaries Jiang encountered before.

Therefore, they also have some understanding of these cyborgs.

Moreover, they had already spoken with this organization before and had seen similar entities.

At this moment, seeing the scene before him, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

This group is even crazier and more inhuman than they imagined!

"Using a failed product as a starting point? That's crazy."

The barrier spat.

Even he couldn't stand it anymore.

Jiang Nian didn't speak; his gaze fell on a heavy alloy door at the end of the passage ahead, which had been violently torn open.

Behind the door lies an extremely vast space, where the energy fluctuations and chaotic life force are most intense.

"The core area is just ahead. Be careful, I sense a very powerful presence. Its energy response is strange; it's neither entirely biological nor entirely an energy entity."

Jiang Nian reminded him.

Although his strength has improved, and he can sense the environment in front of him through internal energy.

However, the surrounding atmosphere was too chaotic, and it was mixed with all sorts of violent and martial arts auras.

Even his perception was affected to some extent at this point.

There is no way to properly analyze the current situation.

Of course, he also had to be careful.

The people around him immediately quieted down after hearing his words.

The four of them cautiously entered the hall behind the door.

The scene before them shocked even the members of the Dark Blade team, who had experienced countless life-or-death missions.

They gasped in shock!
In the center of the hall is an enormous spherical space.

This was originally supposed to be the core experimental area of ​​the research institute.

But now, this place has become a terrifying inferno where flesh and energy intertwine!
Countless thick, fleshy tubes, like the roots of a giant tree, covered the walls and the dome.

An energy liquid emitting a faint glow flowed through the pipe.

The ground is covered with a biological matrix that moves like living things.

And in the very center of the hall.

A massive mass of flesh, forcibly fused together from countless metal fragments and pure energy, is slowly pulsating!
A massive, chaotic mental wave, brimming with destructive desire, surged through everyone's consciousness like a tangible tide!
"What the hell is this?!" Lingque's voice trembled slightly.

"Cthulhu? Energy fusion rampage, uncontrolled proliferation of biological tissue! What kind of experiments did they conduct here?!"

Barrier looked at the off-the-charts data on the detector in disbelief.

Even these professionals had never seen such a strange and bizarre existence.

Shouldn't this kind of thing only exist in mythological novels?
It's basically a Cthulhu tentacle monster!

Jiang Nian was also dumbfounded.

The scene before him was beyond his wildest imagination; even horror movies wouldn't dare to film something like this!
madman!

What kind of monsters are they researching inside?!

The ghost immediately raised its weapon.

"Target confirmed! Extremely high threat! Prepare for battle!" Jiang Nian's heart sank.

He now knew that the powerful being he had sensed before was this distorted fusion!
The intensity of the energy it emitted was so great that he felt a strong threat.

What alarmed him even more was that he vaguely sensed a sense of familiarity from the chaotic energy aura of this fusion entity!

There is a subtle connection between him and the clone warriors he encountered before!
Yes!

This research institute is conducting studies based on his blood samples!

This monster is very likely a terrifying creation that combines the genes of multiple organisms with Jiang Nian's power characteristics!

No wonder those people were so interested in me.

They even went to great lengths to obtain their own flesh and skin.

So that's how they created such an ugly monster!

"Roar--!!!"

Seemingly sensing the intruder, the massive mutated fusion suddenly let out a deafening roar!

A gigantic tentacle made of energy and flesh slammed down on the four of them like a battering ram!

"spread!"

The ghost shouted sharply.

The four people instantly dodged in different directions.

"boom!!!"

The tentacles slammed into the ground.

The solid alloy ground was easily smashed into a deep crater, and the energy shockwave spread outwards!
"This attack power is terrifying! What kind of monster is this?!"

This time, not only Jiang Nian, but everyone else was stunned.

This level of attack capability is so great that even tanks are no match for it!

"Attack! Aim for its energy core, or those nodes that pulsate the most violently!"

Jiang Nian shouted and narrowly avoided another energy tentacle that swept towards him.

At the same time, he immediately shouted to the people around him.

Let them come to their senses!
Now is not the time to be shocked by this monster.
Their lives are in grave danger!
If they can't defeat this monster, they definitely won't be able to complete this mission, and they probably won't be able to escape from here either.

In the end, they will only become food for this monster!
An extremely condensed arrow of internal energy shot towards the center of the fleshy mass!

"Pfft!"

As the energy arrow pierced through, the organ shuddered violently, spewing out a large amount of energy fluid and fragments of biological tissue.

The mutant let out a painful howl, and more tentacles and energy beams came crashing down on Jiang Nian like a storm!

"Protect Advisor Jiang!"

Ghost calmly gave the order, and the strange rifle in his hand spewed out a blue energy beam, accurately intercepting the energy attack aimed at Jiang Nian.

The barrier quickly erected a semi-transparent energy shield to withstand the lashes of the physical tentacles.

The sparrow moved like a ghost along the edge of the battlefield, its tools constantly firing high-frequency cutting rays, attempting to sever the biological conduits connecting the fleshy mass.

The battle instantly heats up!
The power of this mutated fusion is beyond imagination.

Moreover, it seems to possess extremely strong regenerative abilities and energy resistance.

Although Jiang Nian's internal force attacks could cause damage, they were often quickly replenished by the newly formed organization.

What's more troublesome is that, as the battle continues, the fleshy tubes around the hall are pulsating faster and faster.

Energy and matter are continuously transported to the central mass of flesh.

This makes its recovery speed even slightly exceed the damage speed!

"This won't do! Its energy source seems to be spread throughout the entire hall! We must cut off these pipes or find its control core!"

Jiang Nian shouted anxiously as he dodged the attacks.

His internal energy was being rapidly depleted, and he couldn't sustain such a high-intensity battle for much longer.

Moreover, they had noticed the surrounding environment when they came over; it was littered with wreckage and all sorts of corpses.

And the significance of these corpses is still unknown.

Why are some corpses only half-finished?

Now I finally understand.

Those corpses that were only half-dead were all devoured by the monster in front of them!

He obtains a continuous source of energy by devouring these corpses!
"Sparrow! Analyze its energy network! Find the key nodes!"

The ghost roared, rolling away from a scorching energy ray and shooting out a giant eyeball that had appeared on the surface of the fleshy mass.

"Trying! It will take time!"

The magpie's voice was filled with rapid breathing.

Her movements were incredibly fast, weaving through a hail of bullets, with the detector fixed on the aberration.

But Jiang Nian shook her head slightly.

Can't wait any longer!
The monster was constantly devouring the surrounding power, and its strength had increased far beyond what they had seen when they first met it.

Moreover, if this continues, he will eventually drain the surrounding environment dry.

He would then attack them, the living people!

At that time, they would have no chance of escaping!
Jiang Nian took a deep breath and frantically compressed the little remaining internal energy in his dantian, causing his aura to suddenly become dangerous and violent!
He decided to take a risk and use a technique he had not yet fully mastered.

He unleashed his highly condensed internal energy in one burst, creating a wide-ranging energy shock that attempted to temporarily paralyze the aberration's energy absorption and regeneration!

"Cover me! Give me three seconds!"

Jiang Nian roared and clasped his hands together, and blinding white light began to gather in his palms!
The ghost did not hesitate at all.

"Barrier! Maximum power shield! Sparrow, disrupt it! Everyone, full firepower, draw its attention!"

"understand!"

The barrier roared and expanded its energy shield to its limit, blocking Jiang Nian's path.

The mutant's attention was indeed drawn, and more attacks surged toward the three ghosts like a tidal wave!
It's now!

A sharp light flashed in Jiang Nian's eyes, and he suddenly thrust his clasped hands forward!

An invisible and intangible high-frequency vibration wave, yet containing terrifying destructive power.

Centered on Jiang Nian, the ripples spread instantly throughout the entire hall like water ripples!

The air was humming under the strain!
The biological fleshy tubes on the wall twisted violently like water with stones thrown in, and then burst one after another!

The biological substrate that was crawling on the ground instantly lost its activity and became dry and gray!

The enormous, distorted fusion was as if it had been paused.

All movements suddenly froze!
"efficient!"

The ghost's eyes lit up.

He didn't know what Jiang Nian wanted to do before.

I thought Jiang Nian was just doing his best to buy them a few minutes to live.

But now his thoughts have changed. He never expected that Jiang Nian's simple attack would be able to destroy a strange monster.
"Node! I found it! It's to its lower left, that rhomboid crystal enveloped in energy!"

"That's its control core and main energy converter!"

"Spirit Sparrow!" the sparrow exclaimed excitedly, pointing to a hidden corner of the fleshy mass.

"Attack that crystal!" (End of Chapter)
