There's a big problem with dreams in this world.

The location marked by Yeggs was only this area, but what puzzled Lu Qing was that she did not see any flesh giants here. Logically speaking, since the mother of the flesh giants was here, there should be a large number of flesh giants here.

But there was nothing there; apart from the occasional whistling of the wind, Lu Qing could only hear the sound of her own footsteps on the grass.

Entering through the main gate of the barracks, Lu Qing arrived at the square where the soldiers usually drilled. Suddenly, a faint, fishy stench filled her nostrils. She judged that the smell was probably poisonous.

Looking around, Lu Qing discovered that there were hundreds of corpses lying haphazardly. Judging from the armor worn on the corpses, they were all soldiers from the royal capital's military camp.

The cause of death was nothing more than poisoning by the gas in the air. There were no damages to the armor, except for a few corpses near the center of the square, whose armor showed signs of being corroded by some kind of liquid.

Lu Qing made a rough judgment and guessed that there must have been a very troublesome enemy in the center of the square at that time. The enemy seemed to be able to continuously release poison gas. Apart from a few powerful knights, no one could fight against the enemy while enduring the poison gas.

Even those knights who were able to forcibly advance through the poisonous gas were defeated by the enemy's attack methods, their bodies pierced by the extremely toxic corrosive liquid.

"If it's not here, where else could it be?" Lu Qing thoroughly explored the entire military camp, but ultimately still couldn't find the so-called flesh and blood giant mother's path.

Could it be that Yegers deceived her? That doesn't make sense. Lu Qing doesn't think Yegers could gain anything by deceiving her. So if Yegers didn't deceive her, there are only two possibilities.

The first possibility is that the flesh giant's mother body is not here, and Jaeger's judgment was wrong. The second possibility is that the flesh giant's mother body is here, but she just hasn't discovered it.

If you eliminate the other impossible answers, then whatever remains, no matter how outrageous, could possibly be true.

Lu Qing thought of a possibility, which wasn't too far-fetched, but could the mother of that flesh giant be right under her feet?

Thinking this, after hesitating for a while, Lu Qing slowly squatted down, then knelt on the ground, pressing her ears tightly to the ground.

With the enhanced hearing granted by the [Listener] skill, Lu Qing gradually heard a peculiar sound.

It was the sound of flesh and blood writhing, along with a faint heartbeat. Suddenly, a monster's roar rang out, as if a newborn flesh and blood giant was eagerly announcing its birth.

Lu Qing's consciousness gradually sank. She saw an enormous fleshy monster. It had no specific appearance, only ugly chunks of flesh and filthy reproductive organs. It had no ability to think and was just unconsciously devouring the void power in the air and constantly decomposing soil, rocks, tree roots, and everything else it could decompose.

Her consciousness continued to sink, quickly reaching the body of the fleshy monster. She saw the blood vessels, the blood flowing within, and...

A pair of eyes.

"!!"

Suddenly opening her eyes, Lu Qing stood up from the ground, her face pale. It seemed that the side effect of the [Listener] skill had taken effect, greatly enhancing what she heard.

In that situation, she was highly focused, recording everything she saw every moment. And what she recorded was not just the images that the naked eye could see.

Sounds, smells, textures, the flow of blood, even the birth process of those flesh-and-blood giants—a vast amount of useless knowledge was instantly memorized. The mental power in his mind seemed to be pumped away by a giant water pump, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

However, this was not what Lu Qing was most worried about at the moment. An extremely strong sense of crisis surged from her feet. This sense of crisis seemed to penetrate to the bone marrow, almost licking every bone in her body clean.

"I have to leave here," Lu Qing thought to herself.

Chapter 590: The Enormous Flesh and Blood Monster

Despite her headache, Lu Qing quickened her pace and ran towards the outside of the barracks. However, before she had taken two steps, a feeling of the earth shaking violently surged from the ground beneath her feet.

Lu Qing felt as if something was moving deep underground, constantly rising and destroying large amounts of soil and gravel. Without a doubt, it was coming for her.

If it weren't for the side effects of the [Listener] skill being triggered suddenly, Lu Qing wouldn't have received such a vast amount of knowledge in that instant, nor would she have touched that behemoth underground.

However, if I don't trigger the other party, how do I attract it? This time, I don't know whether to call it lucky or unlucky.

In short, she needed to get out of the old capital's military camp as soon as possible; her intuition told her that staying here would definitely not lead to anything good.

Gritting her teeth, Lu Qing quickened her pace and ran towards the outside of the barracks. Although her body was not seriously injured, the forced depletion of her mental energy still made it difficult for her to control her body.

Actions that would normally be extremely simple to perform were now much more strenuous than usual, and the ground was constantly shaking, and the area of ​​the barracks was much larger than she had imagined.

The sense of crisis in her heart grew stronger, and it seemed difficult for her to leave the barracks before the crisis arrived. Gritting her teeth, Lu Qing forcibly squeezed out the last bit of mental energy in her mind and summoned the Weeping One's Lucky Coin.

Whether it's heads or tails, the Weeping Man's Lucky Coin can enhance his luck; the only difference is that heads increases luck more and tails increases luck less.

As for the potential backlash from bad luck, let's wait until she gets through this wave first.

Thinking this, Lu Qing tossed the coin in her hand into the air without watching it fall, and continued running towards the barracks of the old capital.

"Thud." The coin landed on the dry, hard soil with a slightly heavy sound. Even though she didn't see the coin fall to the ground, Lu Qing already had the opposite result in her mind.

"It's the reverse side..." Lu Qing thought with a bitter expression.

Flipping a coin is ultimately a form of gambling. If it lands heads, it will naturally land tails. It's not that she can't accept it. Even if it lands tails, the coin will still increase her luck, but this luck will have to be repaid in the future.

Whether it was due to the effect of the lucky coin or not, Lu Qing's sense of crisis suddenly lessened considerably. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Qing quickly ran out of the barracks.

As she ran out of the barracks, a gigantic, fleshy creature, almost as tall as the old capital's city wall, emerged from the barracks' plaza.

The monster she heard was exactly the same as the one Lu Qing had heard about when she was listening on the ground. No, it would be more accurate to say that the monster Lu Qing had heard about was the one right now.

What puzzled her was that, according to the information she had heard, this flesh-and-blood monster had no consciousness whatsoever, but when she saw the pair of eyes that suddenly opened in the darkness, she could sense a vague consciousness within those eyes.

What are those eyes?

Lu Qing really wanted to know the answer to this question, but reality clearly didn't give her time to think about such things.

"Ugh..." The enormous fleshy monster writhed continuously, the flesh on the surface of her body seemed to be melting, turning into a flowing, viscous liquid, constantly emitting the stench of raw meat.

Almost visible to the naked eye, poisonous mist was released from her body. She possessed the blue [Advanced Poison Resistance] skill, and Lu Qing could also feel a sharp sense of danger from that poisonous mist.

Without a doubt, even she would be affected if she inhaled these toxic fumes; inhaling too much could even lead to death.

"suck........."

Taking a long breath, Lu Qing opened her lips and roared, releasing a powerful gust of air that rushed towards the poison gas released by the flesh and blood monster.

The dissipated poison gas was instantly dispersed by the roar of the [Dragon's Roar]. However, Lu Qing felt that this was not enough. She took out the [Wind Eagle Feather] she was carrying and vigorously waved the feather to blow out a large amount of wind elemental airflow.

The last bit of poisonous mist that had been swirling around the flesh-and-blood monster was blown away, and Lu Qing could finally feel a little relieved.

The flesh-and-blood monster obviously couldn't produce these poisonous mists indefinitely. Just like the venom in a snake's venom sac needs time to accumulate, the amount of poison gas that this flesh-and-blood monster could release at one time was also limited.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the flesh-and-blood monster will stop spewing poison gas in a short time. Lu Qing needs to be careful with her opponent and must not repeat the mistake she made last time.

With that thought in mind, Lu Qing put on the [Weeping Mask], and faint sobs began to linger in her mind.

Both the [Insect Hunter Mask] and the [Guardian Mask] require mental energy to use, while only the [Wailer Mask] does not require any mental energy.

Although in her current state, it's unrealistic to expect her to resist the mental pollution caused by the [Weeping Mask] for an extended period of time, but...

She had no intention of engaging in a protracted battle with the flesh-and-blood monster before her.

Chapter 591: The Title Girl Has Taken Leave and Went Home

"Ugh."

The enormous fleshy monster roared in resentment, but in the next second it was smashed to the ground by the black mist giant's huge double-headed battle axe.

The terrifying gravity pressed the flesh-and-blood monster to the ground. No matter what kind of resistance it tried to make, it could not escape the punishment of the black mist giant's double-headed battle axe. With increasingly faint and weak roars, the flesh-and-blood monster's body stopped moving.

[Magic Element +2000]

Two thousand magic elements were collected by Ling. If Lu Qing hadn't learned many skills yet, she would have been overjoyed to see two thousand magic elements. But now, only one skill, [Ancestral Light], remained on her skill panel, which couldn't be taken out of this dream world.

Learning only requires 800 magic points; the remaining magic points are completely useless.

I wonder if any other skills will be unlocked later.

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Qing removed the [Weeping Mask] from her cheek, and the black mist giant that was whipping the corpse of the flesh monster turned into a cloud of black and gray mist and dissipated.

Arriving beside the enormous, fleshy monster's corpse, Lu Qing was momentarily at a loss, looking at the massive body before her.

The corpse was to be taken back to Jaeger for research, but the problem was, how was she going to bring such a large lump of flesh back to Jaeger? Moreover, the flesh on the surface of this flesh monster's corpse was a flowing, viscous liquid carrying terrifying toxins.

"It's a bit disgusting," Lu Qing said, leaning closer to the corpse that was emitting a strong stench.

Let's leave it here for now. It's unlikely that any other creature would pass by and eat such a poisonous corpse. Besides, Lu Qing had some doubts: if other creatures came here, wouldn't they be poisoned by the smell in the air?

Returning with Ling to the collapsed city wall of the old capital, Lu Qing found Yeges, who had woken up sometime earlier. He was staring intently at a small section of the roots of the sacred tree, seemingly studying something.

After waiting for a while, Lu Qing saw the wood on the surface of the sacred tree root gradually crack, and soon it broke on Yegges' workbench.

“Another failure.” Jaegers looked at the broken roots of the sacred tree and shook his head.

"What failed?" Lu Qing had a rough idea of ​​what he was talking about, but she still asked anyway.

"Regarding the experiment on neutralizing the tumor inside the roots of the Sacred Tree, I extracted the special flesh power from the flesh giant and injected it into the roots of the Sacred Tree in combination with other medicines."

"The result is that the new version of the potion is even worse than the one I made before. It caused the roots of the sacred tree to collapse in less than twenty minutes," Yegges explained to Lu Qing, a puzzled look on his face.

"I see," Lu Qing said, looking at Yeges who was deep in thought. After a pause, she suggested:

"I've found and killed the mother of that flesh giant, but its corpse is too big to carry back. Do you want to study it? Maybe it can provide some new ideas."

"Found it already?" Yegges looked at Lu Qing with some surprise and said, "So fast?"

"Well, the process was rather complicated and hard to explain." Lu Qing herself didn't know what to say. She had only used the Listener skill to stick something to the ground, but suddenly the side effects of the skill were triggered.

Not only did they "see" too many things, but they also alerted the flesh-and-blood monster hidden underground, otherwise it wouldn't have happened so quickly.

“It’s okay, I don’t care about the process,” Jaeger said. He was just a researcher; as long as he could find the materials, the process didn’t matter.

However, before going, Lu Qing warned him that the corpse of that fleshy monster was constantly emitting a putrid smell, which was most likely poisonous. It was only because her body had a high resistance to toxins that she was unharmed.

Although Yeggs' body had become completely different from that of an ordinary person after being corrupted by the void, she was still unsure whether she would be alright when faced with that kind of toxin.

"Before you go and examine that corpse, you should fix the train engine for me first," Lu Qing said to Yeager.

“We’ve already wasted too much time here,” Ling said, her body shimmering with a pale blue light.

“Very well, it’s time to fulfill my promise to you.” Jaeger nodded.
