Warning! The evil god's minions are invading the eerie dungeon.

A few minutes later.

In the dimly lit underground parking garage, the half-closed emergency exit was opened, and two figures stepped out.

"Why did we come to the basement?"

Chen Mu glanced around at the numerous vehicles parked in the underground garage, then looked at Qi Xie with a puzzled expression:

"If there's some kind of intelligence behind the swarm, it should be on the second underground level, right?"

"Yes, but there are definitely still quite a few insects lurking on the second basement level. And my Thorn Crown seal artifact is temporarily unusable."

Qi Xie said:

"So I've decided to try a different method: using fire and explosions to clear the second basement level. But we couldn't find any oil in the mall, and you've run out of explosives, haven't you?"

Chen Mu suddenly realized:

"So, shall we steal some oil first?"

"What are you saying? What are you saying? This is the work of a pilgrim; how can that be called stealing?"

Qi Xie waved his hand:

"Let's get started. Remove the fuel tank from the gasoline car and the battery from the electric car. The fuel in the vehicles has been specially treated to prevent it from exploding or catching fire quickly. The batteries can have their wires removed and thrown inside as bombs."

As he spoke, he took the lead, found a Jeep that looked quite valuable, bent down, lowered his shoulders, gripped the chassis with both hands, lifted himself up, and easily overturned this steel behemoth that weighed over a ton.

He then nimbly climbed onto the upside-down chassis and began dismantling the fuel tank by hand.

"Why are your techniques so skillful...?"

Chen Mu wiped his sweat and crawled under a car to start disassembling the fuel tank.

For a moment, the underground floor echoed with jingling and clanging sounds.

After dismantling several cars, Chen Mu suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"What? Brother Lu, come and see this! This is awesome! It's a hydrogen-powered car, powered by hydrogen tanks."

Qi Xie, who was removing the battery from an electric vehicle, turned around and saw Chen Mu pulling out four metal canisters, each about 1.2 meters long, from the back of an SUV-shaped vehicle.

"Oh? Take this, take this, this is good."

Qi Xie gave a thumbs up:

"It not only makes up for the fact that gasoline cars don't burn quickly, but also makes up for the fact that electric cars don't explode properly. When the time comes, throwing it in will be like throwing a hydrogen bomb."

Time passed by, and the two reunited after dismantling half of the garage. The ground was covered with a large number of fuel tanks or batteries of various shapes.

There are also a dozen or so hydrogen tanks.

This also shows that the technology tree in this world is slightly different from their world point.

At least in the real world, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles still have many hidden dangers and are not that widespread.

Qi Xie was deliberately damaging the fuel tank and battery to make them more likely to burn and explode later.

As for the hydrogen tank, he wasn't familiar with it, so he didn't dare to modify it, fearing he'd end up frying himself into a crispy cheese ball.

"That's fine. Go upstairs and wait for me. While you're at it, pick all the black mushrooms and gather them together."

Qi Xie wiped the oil stains off his face with his sleeve, leaving a messy, smeared face.

"You've lost most of your offensive capabilities; coming down with me will only hinder my performance."

At his command, Chen Mu, knowing his own limitations, did not object. After telling Qi Xie to be careful, he returned to the ground.

As Qi Xie watched Chen Mu's figure disappear, he stopped hiding. The shadow beneath his feet suddenly opened its blood-red vertical eyes, extending several shadow tentacles to roll up the 'simple bombs' scattered on the ground and put them into the shadows.

Qi Xie then lifted his robe, reached across his lower left abdomen with his right hand, and pulled out a blood axe, 1.5 meters long and gleaming with a cold light.

Because of the damage the Light Chaser inflicted on his soul, his head is still throbbing, so he plans to avoid using Daydreams as much as possible.

With the blood axe in his right hand and a full oil tank in his left, Qi Xie walked through the escape passage to the second basement level.

Da...da...da...

Qi Xie's footsteps echoed in the dark and secluded second basement level.

The further he walked, the stranger he felt.

The journey was eerily quiet.

Even if the intelligent entity behind the swarm sent out most of the Black Armored Roach soldiers to die outside, surely they wouldn't leave not a single rooster around, right?

As he pondered, Qi Xie walked to the depths of the second underground level and suddenly noticed a dark red glint at the corner ahead.

He frowned slightly, tiptoed closer to the wall, and peeked around the corner.

"Um?!"

Qi Xie's pupils dilated slightly.

Before him was a colossal, dark red, fleshy creature that filled the entire space, its shape resembling countless soft-bodied slugs irregularly clustered together.

And among the flesh and blood, there were also many human bones.

Even the gigantic transport cockroach appears somewhat small in the face of this enormous mass of flesh connecting the ceiling, walls, and floor.

goo goo...

On this lump of flesh, cysts would occasionally bulge out in certain places, and then, accompanied by the shaking of the outer layer of mucus, various insects would emerge, and then burrow back in from different places.

The surface of those fleshy lumps also showed slight spasmodic reactions.

This is a living, fleshy insect nest!

The entire depths of the second underground level have been transformed into a giant flesh-and-blood incubation chamber filled with slime!

"She looks disgusting..."

Qi Xie's expression didn't change much as he squinted and observed carefully.

Or perhaps the intelligent being behind that swarm is hidden within this flesh-and-blood insect nest.

Or perhaps this flesh-and-blood insect nest itself possesses intelligence!

thump...

Just then, a dull but clear thud suddenly came from the flesh-and-blood insect nest, which was particularly clear in the secluded underground garage.

With that sound, a chilling, bloody stench emanated from the enormous, writhing worm nest...

"Um?"

Qi Xie was taken aback.

Boom!

The muffled sound was clearer than the previous one, and the aura it emitted was equally terrifying and chilling, as if some ferocious beast had been born in the dark forest.

"This aura... is far more terrifying than ordinary dangerous-level monsters. Even if the Midnight Student Ghost and the previous Painted Skin Ghost appeared together in front of the source of this aura, they would probably be easily killed... It's equivalent to five or six ordinary dangerous-level monsters."

That was the sound of a heartbeat.

This flesh-and-blood insect nest devoured all the remaining insects, intending to breed a powerful and terrifying individual to fight him to the death!
