115: Meat Monster

Fan Xiaobo and his several subordinates, a total of twenty to thirty people, surged into the cave.

The cave was about two meters wide, deep, and silent.

Qin Shilei and the two women walked at the back of the group, their powerful flashlights illuminating the path ahead.

"Ah!"

Suddenly, a scream came from ahead, then the sound abruptly ceased.

"Help!" "Be careful!" "Retreat quickly!"

Various panicked shouts came from the front.

Oak Shield!

Zhang Xiaoli quickly cast a shield on the three of them.

Qin Shilei walked at the front, protecting the two women behind him.

The three of them quickly arrived at a spacious area ahead.

They saw a huge monster chasing Lu Tian罡 and his group.

An Qian asked in surprise, "What is this thing?"

The monster was like a huge mass of flesh, dark red all over, three to four meters tall, without a head, hands, or feet, wriggling forward on the ground, yet moving incredibly fast.

Lu Tian罡 and his group's swords and blades struck the fleshy mass but had no effect, simply denting it before being bounced back, as if it were incredibly tough rubber.

The fleshy mass rolled, instantly pouncing on the last young man.

"Help!"

The young man only managed to let out a cry before being completely enveloped by the fleshy mass.

Lu Tian罡 and his group quickly swung their swords and blades, attempting to rescue the man.

However, the fleshy mass completely ignored the blades striking it, wriggled over, and then pounced on another person.

On the ground, some tattered clothes and a heavily corroded long blade were left behind.

Qin Shilei swallowed, saying in surprise, "It devoured a living person so quickly?"

An Qian also said in surprise, "That fleshy mass seems to have gotten a bit bigger."

Zhang Xiaoli chimed in, "It definitely got bigger."

The person being chased by the fleshy mass wished he had two more legs, "Go chase someone else, my meat smells terrible."

Once the fleshy mass fixated on someone, it seemed determined not to give up until it caught them, completely ignoring those who were chasing and attacking it from behind.

Blazing Star!

Seeing that physical attacks were ineffective, An Qian threw a fiery fireball at the fleshy mass.

A burst of sparks exploded on the fleshy mass, leaving not a single scratch.

Instead, the scattered sparks caused Fan Xiaobo and his group to scramble in a panic.

Fan Xiaobo shouted exasperatedly, "That idiot is recklessly using his ability! Do you think we don't know how to use abilities?"

An Qian pouted in annoyance, "You're the idiot. I hope the fleshy mass devours you."

Qin Shilei carefully observed the spot where the fleshy mass was hit by the Blazing Star, and said leisurely, "It's not necessarily that abilities are useless, it's just that this monster's physical and magical resistance is too high."

The young man targeted by the fleshy mass turned and ran towards the cave entrance.

Silver Dragon!

Qin Shilei let go, and the powerful strike he had already condensed flew rapidly towards the fleshy mass that was chasing towards the cave entrance.

"Hiss!"

A sharp hiss echoed in everyone's ears, almost piercing their eardrums.

A bowl-sized wound appeared on the fleshy mass for the first time, causing it to tremble violently.

"There's no reason for this, an ability attack actually worked?"

Hua Feng shook his long spear, and a golden spearhead flew from its tip towards the fleshy mass.

After hitting the fleshy mass, the spearhead bounced back and flew towards Xia Yunyan on the other side.

Xia Yunyan, who was prepared, flashed and dodged the spearhead.

Lu Tian罡 asked loudly, "Mr. Qin, how can we harm this monster?"

Qin Shilei frowned and replied, "Perhaps my attack exceeded its defensive critical point."

In truth, he hadn't expected the Silver Dragon's attack to be so effective.

As he spoke, the fleshy mass abandoned the person it was chasing and rolled towards Qin Shilei.

There wasn't enough time to cast Silver Dragon again, so Qin Shilei drew his Blood Soul and met it head-on.

The Blood Soul, imbued with a layer of lightning, pierced into the fleshy mass with a whoosh.

Qin Shilei immediately felt a rich surge of life force transfer from the Blood Soul, and his stamina instantly became incredibly abundant.

"Hiss!" The fleshy mass shrieked again, then fled into the distance.

"So you're afraid of lightning-attribute attacks," Qin Shilei suddenly realized.

Thunderbolt Thrust!

A Secret Weapon from Thunderous Nine Heavens, it pierced the fleshy mass with over a dozen penetrating holes.

Suffering such heavy damage, the fleshy mass instantly withered, and its speed slowed by a third.

Thunderbolt Thrust! Thunderbolt Thrust! Thunderbolt Thrust!

Qin Shilei continuously thrust out over a hundred swords, riddling the fleshy mass with holes until it collapsed weakly to the ground.

"It's still not dead like this?"

Looking at the fleshy mass still wriggling on the ground, Qin Shilei extended his palm, and streaks of lightning directly struck the fleshy mass.

A scent of cooked meat arose, and the fleshy mass finally stopped wriggling.

Qin Shilei, still not at ease, continued to electrocute the fleshy mass for a while before retracting his left hand.

An Qian suddenly leaned close to Qin Shilei and whispered, "Do you think the Zombie King was attracted by this mass of flesh, which is why it kept attacking this cave?"

Qin Shilei thought for a moment, then nodded and replied, "It's very possible. This monster has abundant life force. Perhaps this fleshy mass can help the Zombie King Evolution."

Zhang Xiaoli also leaned close and whispered, "Qin Ge, then quickly put it away."

Qin Shilei waved his hand and collected the fleshy mass.

"Hey, why did you put it away? Let everyone study why this monster is immune to our attacks, so we can deal with it better next time."

Fan Xiaobo's annoying voice immediately rang out.

"It's my spoils of war, of course I'm going to put it away," Qin Shilei said indifferently.

"That monster is so disgusting, you wouldn't want to cook and eat it, would you?" Fan Xiaobo muttered in a low voice.

Qin Shilei raised his sword and pointed it at the other party, saying coldly, "Say one more word, and I'll cut you down immediately."

Fan Xiaobo's face immediately turned as red as a pig's liver, but he dared not say another word.

However, the hint of malice in his eyes before he turned his head was still caught by Qin Shilei.

"Hmph, I'll let you live a bit longer," Qin Shilei thought to himself, then turned to survey the spacious area.

It was roughly the size of a basketball court, with several stone pillars supporting the middle, and large stone slabs paving the ground.

On the innermost wall was a stone slab three meters wide and two meters high.

In front of the wall was a small pillar, and on the pillar was a fist-sized transparent bead.

Besides these, there was nothing else.

Everyone walked around, examining everything in the entire space.

Qin Shilei and the others, meanwhile, were exploring the stone slab and the bead on the innermost wall.

"Could it be that inputting vital energy or spiritual power into the bead will open a certain switch?"

An Qian suddenly had an idea, and after speaking, she input a stream of vital energy into the bead.

A burst of white light emanated from the stone slab on the wall.

"It really works! Everyone, quickly come and input your vital energy!" An Qian called out for everyone to contribute.

As everyone continuously input vital energy, the white light on the stone slab grew brighter and brighter, then became a brilliant white, like a gate of light.

A gate of light? Is it a passage to somewhere else?
