Chapter 409 Going deeper
Inside Shen Bei's visual mask, the little red dot of life detection was frantically sounding the alarm.
Moreover, it coincides with the location of your green dot.
The danger comes either from above or from below.
Shen Bei's foot thrusters suddenly ejected plasma flames at the speed of light.
The water surface is evaporated into a cloud of steam.
Under the reaction force, Shen Bei's body was pushed out, as if being moved by an invisible big hand like a chess piece.
Wow...
Shen Bei hooked the water surface with one hand and slowly stopped.
But see you.
Amidst the rising steam, a tall and sturdy figure suddenly rushed out.
This is a demon-eyed water python with extremely strong twisting force. It relies on its inky scales to lurk in the water and attack its prey.
A fifth-level python...
Although the Demonic Eyed Water Python was hiding very secretly at the bottom of the water, the weak water flow stirred up by its posture adjustment was easily discovered by life detection through situational awareness.
There is no overall mutation of the python, it is just longer and thicker.
The lower half of the snake's body was hidden underwater, and it was impossible to tell how long it was.
but!
The mutation occurred in the python's abdomen.
It actually has a huge human head, or rather, a human head fused into the belly of a python!
This human head alone is one meter long!
It's truly horrifying.
Of course, in Shen Bei's eyes, it was more of surprise.
In the wilderness, all kinds of strange things can happen.
Don’t talk about…all these things.
At the moment when the python opened its bloody mouth and attacked.
Shen Bei raised his right arm with one hand, and the mining arm armor madly absorbed the crystal source core energy, opened the mechanical pincers, and bit directly like a mechanical monster!
"How dare you... a mere fifth level..."
Shen Bei grinned.
To be honest, it's been a while since Shen Bei killed such a weak beast...
next interest.
The mining arm armor and the python bit each other.
Kaka...
No surprise, no surprises.
The Demon-Eye Water Python was already dead, its ferocious head drooping, and its spine was directly broken by the powerful bite force of Shen Bei's arm armor.
Blood slowly flowed along the python's inky scales.
Just now.
Although the Demon-Eye Water Python was dead, the huge human head in the snake's belly had its eyes open.
Just about to take action.
The revolver in Shen Bei's left hand was already against the man's forehead.
"Why, you still want to struggle? Release some supernatural powers and fight to the death?"
Shen Bei frowned frivolously: "Sorry, there's no need to be so sorry. I hate unnecessary complications."
Boom~~~
The muzzle flashed violently.
Like a small bomb exploding in the air.
The air even smelled of burning.
The powerful explosive bullet carries terrifying kinetic energy.
As soon as it left the muzzle of the gun, it connected seamlessly and penetrated into the flesh of the human head extremely smoothly.
He shot the person's head right through.
Wow...
The evil-eyed water python completely lost its life signs and gradually sank into the water.
Shen Bei still felt a little distressed.
The crystal source core has not been dug out yet.
Go into the water to fish...
Think about it and forget it.
Too risky.
However, with the death of the Demon-Eyed Water Python, Shen Bei's face became a little solemn. This abnormal situation aroused his vigilance.
Along the way, he has gone deep into the forest, but so far he has only encountered a demon-eyed water python with extremely strong lurking ability, which is very abnormal.
River basins have abundant water resources, which, although inedible to humans, have always been areas where mutant creatures are very active.
But it's too quiet here now.
They were very close to the shore, and Shen Bei had to draw out a piece of lightsaber, keeping his nerves tense and guarding against possible enemies or ferocious beasts.
"Did you find anything?"
He confirmed again while connecting to Tiangong.
"So far, no abnormalities have been found from the overhead perspective."
Lingxi Zhiling answered.
But the next second
A voice suddenly came from Lingxi Zhiling: "Warning! There is something on the tree trunk!"
When Lingxi Zhiling was controlling the external sensing unit of Tiangong, it suddenly detected turbulent airflow coming from above the treetops.
The airflow is very calm at this moment, which is very beneficial to the perception unit.
Tiangong was suspended in near space. At such a close distance, Lingzhi Zhiling could even sense the subtle muscle movements and muscle changes caused by the heartbeat.
Shen Bei immediately looked up.
really!
The monsters on the tree trunk were only more than ten meters away from Shen Bei, and there were so many of them, as many as seventeen. At this distance, life detection was almost impossible to detect.
This is where the SP template comes in to assist.
Without this intelligent AI, Shen Bei would not be able to distract himself and watch from a bird's-eye view.
I'm afraid that even if I walk under the tree, I won't be able to sense the potential danger.
"Buzz!"
The purple lightsaber flashed a cold arc of light.
Shen Bei put his body in front of Xiao K.
After Shen Bei saw clearly what was flying down, he slowly took a breath.
The one flying down while grabbing onto the tree trunk was a weasel lemur man, about level eight.
Their bodies were already highly decayed, with large amounts of fur falling off, revealing the blackened and rotten skin beneath the skin.
Some of the weasel lemurs were even severely swollen, probably because they had been soaking in water for a period of time.
They should have turned into corpses long ago, but they were still alive and kicking, leaping rapidly between the tree trunks, and pouncing towards the two people and one tiger standing on the water.
"Ascocyst zombies...according to the odds in the wilderness, be careful not to get scratched by them, or you'll be in trouble."
No one has studied how this thing was generated.
Just know that you must not get scratched.
Shen Bei had a gloomy face and groaned. A ray of light flashed from the purple lightning sword and slashed across.
He directly severed the foremost weasel-lemur-man in the middle. Its internal organs gushed out from the cross-section. But suspiciously, not a single drop of blood appeared at the wound. The weasel-lemur-man looked like a mummy, its blood drained long ago.
Shen Bei stepped forward, leaping towards the oncoming weasel-lemur-men. The lightsaber slashed through the air with seven fleeting arcs of light, decapitating the seven weasel-lemur-men with the sharp blade. Their heads tumbled and fell into the water.
If most of the ordinary weasel lemurs were killed in an instant, they would probably have immediately scattered and fled, but the remaining nine weasel lemurs were different. There was no expression on their highly decayed faces.
With a push of their powerful hind legs, they split into two groups, six of them pounced on Shen Bei and three pounced on Xiao K.
Their attack directly threw Shen Bei into the water.
Shen Bei did not panic and directly handed over the control of Xiao K to Lingxi Zhiling.
"fighting!"
After Shen Bei gave the order, he rolled into the water.
next moment.
Lingxi Zhiling controlled Xiao K and raised the rifle in his hand.
The rifle in Xiao K's hand was a weapon Shen Bei had picked up from a military base earlier. After continuous upgrades, the electromagnetic rails had been activated, and the bullets were extremely powerful.
"Oh!"
With a dull thud, the weasel lemur man's highly decayed head exploded.
Pieces of broken limbs floated up from the bottom of the water, and finally Shen Bei, soaking wet all over, crawled out from the bottom of the water.
His armor was like a layer of steel plate under his skin, and these weasel lemurs could not hurt him at all.
"What kind of monsters are these? They don't seem to be zombies."
Shen Bei muttered to himself in some strange way.
Lingxi Zhiling offered an analytical answer: "They are actually corpses. The mother ascomycete has used its own hyphae to erode and replace their nervous systems, bringing them back to life. This area is so quiet, it seems that most of the living things have either been devoured by it or are under its control."
Shen Bei used his long sword to slice open the bodies of the weasel-lemur men. A layer of yellow-green fungus crawled over their muscles, as if they had grown a layer of verdigris. The most disgusting thing was their heads, which were almost completely filled with mycelium and mushrooms.
The mycelium was still wriggling, trying to get out of the corpses. Shen Bei frowned and gathered all the weasel lemur corpses together, switching his sniper rifle to flamethrower mode.
The raging flames burned directly on the water surface, burning the mycelium in the corpses.
Shen Bei looked back into the depths of the forest and always felt that there was something very close to him... inside.
Shen Bei had never experienced this feeling before.
"Is it a hallucination..."
