156: Chapter 156 Lin Mo can save a city by himself. This kind of top-grade medicine must be protected.
“No, it’s just… this is too tragic, isn’t it?”
“You… aren’t you going to kill me? After all, I just did something inappropriate to you…”
Lin Mo waved his hand dismissively.
“You were infected with the virus?”
“Yes, Creation Saint God cast the black death curse, and everyone died, turning into monsters like Fallen Angels.”
Lin Mo: “That’s too awesome, isn’t it?”
Maria: “?”
“I mean, it’s too tragic, isn’t it?”
“That’s right, but there are still survivors in Ironforge’s Melting Heart. The high temperatures there can kill the virus.”
“Then why are you still out here?”
“We came out to look for food… we didn’t expect to get infected…”
Lin Mo casually took out an apple.
“I have food here. Take me to see.”
“This is… a precious fruit!!!”
The Fallen Angels were shocked.
Lin Mo crooked his thumb.
He pointed at the Liberation brand truck far outside the barrier.
Old Liu took off his green hat and waved towards them.
He shouted, “That dark-skinned one with the big butt, leave her for me! I’m going to marry her!”
“There are plenty on the truck. First, tell me about the current situation here. Don’t worry, we are not the Founding Saint Army, we are from Shen Xia Country, and we are here to save you.”
These Fallen Angels discussed among themselves.
Then they agreed to take Lin Mo to Melting Heart.
Lin Mo followed them, walking along a mountain path, through a valley, and into a dense forest.
Suddenly, a giant tiger with black stripes, emitting a putrid stench, sprang out.
Maria and her companions immediately spread their wings, purple light and black mist intertwined, and they struggled to surround and kill it.
The giant tiger counterattacked in its dying throes, tearing Seraphina’s wing with a claw, and pale golden blood splattered everywhere.
“Hurry… there are too many mutated beasts here…” Maria gasped, her face even paler.
Before Maria finished speaking, the surrounding bushes shook violently, and hundreds of black-striped giant tigers leaped out simultaneously.
“How can there be so many!?”
“They’re probably infected with the black death and gone mad!”
“You take this young man and go… I’ll cover your retreat!”
Maria shielded Lin Mo with her body.
The angels nodded one after another.
They knew.
Lin Mo might bring them more than just food.
He also had a way to detoxify.
This was a miracle doctor who could save lives and heal injuries.
No matter who died, he could not die.
Lin Mo casually pulled out an old, trashy staff from his space.
With a light wave of the staff, dozens of one-hundred-meter-tall Flame Demons rose from the ground.
Blazing fiery whips swept across.
— 454 trillion
— 635 trillion
... — 453 trillion
All the mutated beasts instantly turned to ashes, without even time to let out a scream.
“My attribute level has increased, so the number and attributes of the summoned imps have also improved.”
Lin Mo put away his staff, as if he had only swatted a few mosquitoes.
Maria and the others stared dumbfounded at the still burning forest, their legs weak as they followed… On the distant mountaintop.
Covered in white snow, the biting cold wind howled.
There was a team of figures.
They gazed down at the Liberation brand truck convoy below the mountain.
Their expressions were panicked, and the captain kept cursing.
“Damn it, how are there so many humans?”
“Weren’t there supposed to be only one?”
“We scouts do the most tiring and dangerous work, yet we get the least resources!”
“Captain, wait, those humans, their attributes are very ordinary.”
“Although they have reached the Heavenly Dao realm, their overall attributes are very weak, and they have few skills.”
The captain also looked over.
He narrowed his eyes and smiled.
“With this little strength, they dare to come and die?” The captain sneered, drawing his battle saber. “Brothers, kill them and go back to claim the reward!”
This small team was called “Infiltration,” and it was composed of top-tier combatants carefully selected by the Founding Saint Army from various major legions.
All twelve members were seasoned elites, with a minimum strength of the Dominator realm.
They wore specially made shadow armor, capable of perfectly concealing themselves in the shadows.
For this operation, Creation Saint God personally ordered them to secretly monitor Lin Mo’s every move.
If given the opportunity, they were to kill him in Ironforge.
For this purpose, they were equipped with precious [Boundary-Breaking Arrows], specifically used to deal with Lin Mo’s sealed space.
That is to say.
They could attack from the outside in.
But the people inside could not attack the people outside.
It was a space specifically designed to be used with the black death and related items.
One could say Creation Saint God had made two preparations.
If Lin Mo entered Ironforge and died of the disease.
If he continuously drank immunity potions to prolong his life.
Then.
As long as he searched for an exit in the outer perimeter.
He would definitely be discovered by the elite squad lurking from all directions.
The [Boundary-Breaking Arrows] would deliver the final blow to Lin Mo.
It could almost be called perfect.
“Kill!”
One of the team members grinned sinisterly, drawing a dark longbow.
A golden energy arrow condensed on the bowstring.
“Holy Light Arrow!” he shouted, and the arrow, upon leaving the string, instantly split into hundreds of streaks of light, piercing through the sky and heading straight for the truck convoy down the mountain.
“Boom—”
— 0
— 0
... — 0
Golden light flashed brightly down the mountain, and white smoke continuously drifted away.
But this barrage of attacks did not deal any damage.
Five seconds later, the other side fired two more rounds.
Still the same.
Everyone couldn’t help but look at each other… What’s going on?
They had fired so many rounds.
The other side was completely unharmed.
“What’s going on?”
“How come those humans are completely fine?”
“Should we go down and check?”
“I know, it’s an illusion! There’s an illusionist in their convoy.
The real location of his convoy isn’t here; we’ve all fallen for an illusion.”
“[Eye of Dispelling Illusions!]” A team member’s eyes glowed with purple light, and the surrounding illusion instantly vanished.
“You have dispelled ‘Yarnam Illusion’.”
“It’s dispelled, quickly find out who released the illusion!”
He couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly.
But.
The next second.
The surrounding illusion returned… “Holy crap! What’s going on, how did the illusion return?”
“You dispel it again!”
The captain grumbled.
“Okay!”
This team member was also curious, how could he fall for the illusion again right after dispelling it?
So he repeated his trick.
“Eye of Dispelling Illusions! Dispel!”
The sound of ancient bells rang in his ears, and the twisted streets of Yarnam appeared before his eyes.
Under the blood moon, countless tentacles writhed out from the cracks in buildings, and an unspeakable monster covered in eyeballs slowly emerged, wrapping its tentacles around his head.
“No… don’t look…” He struggled desperately, but watched helplessly as the monster’s sharp claws pierced his eye sockets, gouging out his eyeballs root and all… — 1546 trillion, permanent blindness!
“Why did he gouge out his own eyes?”
The others were so scared their mouths trembled.
The only team member who could dispel the illusion actually mutilated himself. What exactly was going on?
