Chapter 175 Defend to the death, defend to the death, defend to the death!!! (2 words, update 25)

Outside the force field, a temporary camp.

The setting sun painted its blood-red afterglow on the ravaged camp and the soldiers' still-shaken faces.

The piercing alarms had just subsided due to the previous earthquake, and the air was thick with the smell of dust and despair.

Deputy Director Zhao Qiming stood beside the command vehicle, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the transparent force field barrier that isolated everything, his fingers unconsciously tapping the cold body of the vehicle.

The shocking revelation brought by Wei Banmeng and the news of Fang Qingyu's team going missing weighed heavily on his heart. The reinforcements from Beijing were still on their way, and every second felt like being fried in a pan of oil.

Sudden--

Boom, boom! ! !

The earthquake, more violent and profound than any before, erupted without warning!

This time, it didn't come from the depths of the pit, but from beneath our feet!

The entire camp was tossed about wildly like a sampan in a giant wave!
"They're here again! Hold on!!" The officer's shout was instantly drowned out.

The temporary prefabricated houses collapsed like building blocks, smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and the newly erected communication antennas twisted and fell over.

The soldiers screamed and fell to the ground, some of them being thrown into the air.

"Damn it!" Zhao Qiming clung tightly to the car door to keep from falling, his heart pounding wildly.

This is definitely not an ordinary aftershock!

Amidst this apocalyptic chaos, the viscous, water-like barrier at the force field entrance suddenly trembled violently!
"puff!"

A figure was violently "spit out" like a tattered sack, crashing heavily onto the edge of the camp and rolling several times before coming to a stop.

It was a soldier who stayed behind to guard a shallower area. His combat uniform was tattered and covered with thick, dark purple blood that smelled of sulfur.

He struggled to lift his head, his face contorted with extreme terror, unrecognizable as human.

He opened his mouth wide, making a strange "hoarse" sound from his throat, as if he had used all his strength to squeeze out a hoarse, distorted shriek from his torn vocal cords:

"Monster!! The crater's alive!! Flesh! It's all flesh!! It's gushing out—!!!"

His hoarse voice sounded as if he was trying to shout his heart out.

Every word carried the scent of blood, and every syllable exuded a chilling aura from the depths of the soul.

He pointed intently toward the entrance to the force field, his eyes unfocused, as if he were seeing a real hell.

The piercing screams were like ice water poured over someone's head, instantly silencing the chaotic camp for a moment.

All eyes were on him, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

"Come with me!!!"

Zhao Qiming was the only one who didn't completely freeze up.

With a roar, the deputy director of the Songdu branch, without the slightest hesitation, transformed his towering body into an arrow and became the first to rush into the violently fluctuating force field barrier!

Several trusted officers following closely behind him gritted their teeth and forced their way in!

Transparent ripples surged violently.

The next second, Zhao Qiming's figure passed through the barrier.

A biting, icy wind, mixed with an overwhelming stench of miasma and decay, assaulted our senses.

But he couldn't care less about any of that. What he saw made this tough guy, who had survived countless battles, stumble and his face instantly turn extremely ugly. A chilling sense of despair ran up his spine to his head!
In an instant, I understood where this damn earthquake came from.
At the edge of the pit, the temporary defensive fortifications they had built to resist the possible tide of the deadly ghosts, covered with spikes, were now like toys crushed by a giant beast, long gone!
Instead, there was a gushing, writhing expanse.
meat!
Endless, viscous, writhing flesh and blood were gushing out of the bottomless crack in the pit like boiling asphalt!
Dark purple, deep red, and rotten white intertwined and clump together, emitting a nauseatingly sweet, fishy, ​​and burning odor.

The flesh and blood gathered and flowed on the ground.

It expanded, constructed, and reorganized rapidly, as if it possessed a life of its own!

Flesh and blood churned.

The crunching sound of bones rubbing together is enough to make your teeth ache.

In just a few breaths, an indescribable, terrifying silhouette rose from the ground!

Standing over thirty meters tall, its massive body is composed of a solid, trembling core of flesh and blood, covered by a thick, dripping, and gleaming carapace with a dark metallic sheen.

The carapace was covered with twisted protrusions and barbs, as if it were forcibly pieced together from countless broken bones and weapons.

The lower part of the main body consists of countless viscous, flowing, wriggling fleshy tentacles that support the enormous body.

There was no clear head; where the head should be was a huge crown-shaped structure made of countless white bones pressed and stacked together. In the center of that white bone "crown" was a huge eyeball that throbbed violently and emitted an eerie dark red light!
Its eyes were cold, chaotic, and filled with pure destructive urges, slowly rotating as it silently surveyed all living things that had entered its territory.

This is a ghost born of flesh and blood!

A living, breathing mountain of flesh and blood!
The oppressive feeling it brought far exceeded that of any other molting-level life demon I had ever seen before!

Despair overwhelmed Zhao Qiming like a cold tide.

He bit his lower lip so hard it almost bled, and his legs trembled slightly uncontrollably.

But it was only for a fleeting moment!

The fierceness in their blood and the duty to protect instantly overwhelmed their instincts!

"All support personnel, listen up!!"

Zhao Qiming abruptly raised his head, the veins on his neck bulging like writhing dragons, his face flushed red from the effort, and a hysterical yet steely roar erupted from his throat, his voice drowning out the low hum emanating from the flesh-and-blood monster's body, "Citizen evacuation sequence! Activate the highest contingency plan immediately! Notify all outer perimeter troops, at all costs, cover the evacuation of civilians to the designated safe zone! Repeat, at all costs!!!"

Zhao Qiming swung his arm with all his might, pointing it toward the force field outlet behind him.

Zhao Qiming's gaze swept over the officers behind him, whose faces were equally horrified, and several elite squad members from Songdu City who had rushed to the scene. The will to die in his eyes burned like a blazing fire.

Zhao Qiming pounded his chest violently, the sound echoing with a dull thud: "Hold on to the death with me! Buy time for retreat! Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!!!"

"Roar--!!!"

The moment Zhao Qiming finished speaking, the dark red demonic eye in the center of the flesh and blood behemoth's white bone crown suddenly shrank, as if it had sensed a provocation!

The massive body trembled with a dull, thunderous sound, and several huge, fleshy tentacles suddenly rose up, carrying a suffocating, stench, like battering rams falling from the sky, carrying immense force, and slammed down on Zhao Qiming and the crowd behind him!

The entire earth groaned and trembled once more as it moved!
"Boom——!"

Deep inside the pit, another broken rock passage suddenly exploded open!

A strong wind swept through the area, and several figures staggered out, carrying with them flying stones and a strong smell of sulfur and blood.

It was Su Wanqing, along with Qin Hui and the others who were forcibly protected by her purifying light, and Wei Banmeng, whose face was deathly pale!

however.

As soon as they rushed out of the passageway, their steps froze on the spot, as if nailed to the ground.

Everyone's pupils suddenly contracted!
"What...what is this thing?!"

Chen Tiejun's hair and beard bristled, his eyes wide with anger.

"!?!"

The color drained from Su Wanqing's beautiful face instantly, and a look of disbelief and shock flashed across her usually calm eyes.

Before me lay the end of a broken space that suddenly opened up.

Where is that familiar passageway?

What blocked their way was a terrifying silhouette that looked like a mountain of flesh and blood!
The root of the despair in the camp outside was that thirty-meter-tall monster of flesh and blood, formed by endless gushing blood and gore!
The immense evil power and suffocating bloody pressure emanating from it made even the four people who had experienced the pressure of the molting-level life ghost at the edge of the core area feel a chill run down their spines!
What's even more alarming is...

The enormous body of this fleshy behemoth occupied the entrance to the tunnel they had just escaped from, which led to a deeper passage!

The enormous shadow, like the cloak of death, completely obscured the possible escape route.

"puff!"

Qin Hui, who was still recovering from serious injuries and had been holding on until now, finally spat out a mouthful of blood and had to support himself on his knees to keep from falling.

Qi Hao and Lü Chen instinctively grabbed him, their eyes fixed on the enormous creature.

Su Wanqing quickly scanned her surroundings, and the shouts of Zhao Qiming and the roar of the flesh-and-blood monster could be faintly heard in the distance.

She couldn't see anyone else besides Zhao Qiming's team! "Where's Fang Qingyu?! And Jiang Wei?! They haven't come out yet?!?!"

Su Wanqing turned her head sharply, her gaze shooting like lightning to Zhao Qiming beside her, who also looked surprised and uncertain. Her voice carried a hint of urgency that she herself did not realize.

Zhao Qiming had just used his shield to forcefully block a fleshy tentacle that was about to fall, but the immense force sent him staggering back several steps, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

Hearing Su Wanqing's question, he abruptly wiped the blood from his mouth, looked up, his eyes filled with sorrow and helplessness, and his hoarse voice ripped through the roars of the flesh monster and the booming of energy collisions: "No! Miss Su! We haven't seen them since we came in! Only this monster!!"

"I am stupid!!!"

Zheng Xiaohai and Chen Tiejun, two veteran masters, immediately cursed and turned ashen-faced.

They understood better than anyone what Fang Qingyu's final strike meant—it was a life-saving grace!

It was a path to survival that was forcibly carved out from a desperate situation!
"Damn it! I'm going back to get him!"

Chen Tiejun roared, his fierce and unparalleled blood and qi about to erupt, and he was about to rush towards the entrance blocked by the demonic remains again.

We can't leave them down there!
However, Su Wanqing was even faster than them!

The moment Zhao Qiming finished speaking and uttered the word "no," her figure transformed into a streak of dazzling white light, rushing towards the entrance of the tunnel occupied by the fleshy monster without the slightest hesitation!

However.
Just as she was about to touch the writhing flesh barrier.

The enormous demonic eye at the center of the white bone crown silently turned, its cold and chaotic gaze instantly locking onto the tiny white streak of light that dared to invade its "territory"!

"Woo——!!!"

A dark red shockwave, almost tangible, mixed with intense miasma and pure spiritual impact, carried a nauseating, fishy stench!
Centered on that demonic eye, it exploded towards Su Wanqing with a deafening roar!

The transparent force field barrier shook violently to an extreme degree after this roar!
The distorted, transparent waves spread wildly in all directions, forming a huge, ripple-shaped dome that undulated violently and wailed!

It's like a bubble about to burst from a giant needle or a strong wind!

The barrier's light dimmed at a visible speed, and even spiderweb-like fine cracks began to appear at the edges!
It could shatter completely with a "pop" at any moment!
Su Wanqing, who was the first to be hit, felt as if her delicate body had been struck by an invisible heavy hammer!
The holy, purifying white light surrounding him flickered violently, its brightness uncertain!

Her forward-rushing figure suddenly stopped in mid-air, frozen in place!
Immediately, the violent impact force passed through the barrier and was transmitted to her body, an irresistible burst of power!
"Uh!"

A groan!
Su Wanqing's graceful body was blown away like a kite with a broken string by the violent sound waves and air blast!
"Miss Su, Miss!"

Zhao Qiming, Qi Hao, and the others were shocked!

Ignoring his injuries, Zhao Qiming lunged forward to try and catch him!

Su Wanqing was flying backwards in mid-air, enduring the churning of her blood and the stinging pain in her soul. A rare look of anxiety and anger appeared on her beautiful face. She had never forgotten that it was Fang Qingyu who had awakened them at the critical moment, giving them a chance to break through!
If it weren't for Fang Qingyu
"Kill it—!!"

A fierce roar filled with boundless rage and determination erupted from Su Wanqing's mouth, piercing through the force field barrier and the roar of the flesh monster!
Like the clash of gold and jade, the sound resounded throughout the chaotic battlefield!
It was as if the heavens had heard Su Wanqing's grief-stricken roar.

Just as the last syllable of those four words faded—

"it is good--!"

A very simple word, yet as powerful and resonant as a great bell, suddenly rang out above everyone without warning!

This word is not something you can "hear," but rather something that resonates directly in the depths of your soul!
Absolutely clear! Absolutely loud!
Not only did it pierce through the shaking earth, but the wailing of the force field and the roars of the flesh-and-blood monsters also spread with unparalleled precision throughout the entire massive crater area covered by the transparent force field!
Whether it was the panicked camp outside the barrier, Zhao Qiming fighting fiercely inside the barrier, Su Wanqing being thrown into the air, Qi Hao and Lü Chen with furious eyes, or even all the people caught in panic and despair, rushing towards the evacuation point...

In that instant, everyone subconsciously, almost instinctively, suddenly looked up!
Ignoring the rubble and dust, they frantically looked toward the source of the sound.

High in the sky!

Against the backdrop of the dim sky, a tiny figure, yet exuding an aura that chilled everyone to the bone, was plummeting toward the earth at an unimaginable speed!

He fell too fast!

The body is about to come into intense friction with the thin atmosphere, causing compression!
A blazing orange-yellow flame suddenly enveloped his entire body!
Like a burning meteorite that tore through the atmosphere!

With an overbearing aura of burning and destroying everything, it left a long trail of flames!

Boom-! ! ! !

A deafening explosion tore through the clouds!
Accompanied by the shockwave of the explosion!

That "meteor" struck with the most ferocious and unreasonable force, carrying indescribable power, fiercely and precisely.
It crashed onto the top of the terrifying crown of the flesh-and-blood behemoth, a crown made of piled-up bones!

Right in the center, at the location of that enormous demonic eye radiating chaotic fel energy!!!
at the same time.

Deep underground, in a corner crevice where light is extremely dim and isolated by thick layers of rock.

"cough cough"

Fang Qingyu pressed his back against the cold, damp rock wall with difficulty. Each cough brought a tearing pain to his lungs and caused waves of dizziness.

Jiang Wei, who was not far away, was still in a deep coma.

The small body was curled up, breathing weakly but steadily.

The injuries have healed somewhat. Although the internal organs are like ripped rags, the flow of qi and blood is extremely difficult, and the left arm hangs limply, the Crimson Blaze Scripture is ultimately at the perfected stage. Under forced circulation, the remaining qi and blood are like a trickle, slowly repairing the wounds that were on the verge of collapse.

The space was cramped and oppressive, filled with rock dust, the dampness of groundwater, and the strong smell of blood emanating from him.

Jiang Wei on my back is very light.

But at this moment, every slight movement is a huge burden.

Fang Qingyu painstakingly cleared away the debris blocking the collapsed passage bit by bit.

If the large ones are too heavy to move, use the Dragon Sparrow Severing Calamity to break them up piece by piece, and pile the smaller ones behind you.

They might be hunched over, struggling forward; crawling slowly through the cold, muddy water; or painstakingly squeezing through narrow crevices in the rocks.

In the darkness, only the faint sound of stones colliding and his own labored breathing could be heard.

"Boom! Crash!"

The occasional tremors from above, and the resulting cascading rocks falling from the cave's ceiling, caused Fang Qingyu to frown, filled with helplessness.

The road beneath our feet was more difficult to traverse than we had imagined, and the tremors increased the risk of a landslide.

Fortunately, hard work pays off.

It took another ten minutes or so of difficult walking.

In the impenetrable darkness ahead, a faint but steady glimmer of light seemed to be breaking through?
It's not pale phosphorescent moss!
It's a cooler, more normal kind of dim light!
Fang Qingyu's spirits lifted instantly!
Their eyes lit up!

The utterly exhausted body seemed to be injected with a bit of strength again.

Gritting his teeth, he sped up a bit, pushed aside the last few broken rocks blocking his view, and crawled into the abandoned mine shaft, which was neither too big nor too small and clearly showed signs of artificial excavation.

The dim light came from an emergency miner's lamp embedded in the rock wall. The lampshade was covered with dust, and the light was dim but steadily illuminated everything here.

Dust particles floated silently in the beam of light.

However, just as Fang Qingyu stepped into this space, before his eyes could even adjust to the light,
He froze completely!

Just a few steps in front of Fang Qingyu, a figure stood quietly with his back to him, seemingly having just arrived.

The figure seemed to sense something and slowly turned around.
A young, pale face, with a hint of cynicism yet exuding an eerie and cold aura, came into Fang Qingyu's suddenly contracting pupils!

His face was expressionless, and his eyes were as cold as the vertical pupils of a snake.

He was wearing a well-tailored, seemingly expensive suit, but now it was covered in rock dust and torn in several places.

Eyes facing each other.

The air seemed to freeze instantly.

Jiang Wei, who was on Fang Qingyu's back, remained unconscious.

In the silent space, the only sound was the faint hissing of the miner's lamp overload.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely eerie.
