85: Chapter 85 Leaving the Raccoon Apartment

"With the demon god's unfathomable and mighty power, it really can see through my Hidden Body state."

Qin Feng's expression turned solemn.

In the Ether Layer, the corruption power projected by the demon god was clearly much stronger.

The Material Plane imposed the greatest restrictions on the demon god's power.

The Ether Layer was second to it.

If he were to run into the Astral Layer...

Qin Feng estimated that even if he just got slightly close and took one look at the true cocoon of the demon god, he would be instantly corrupted into madness and mutate into an indescribable monster.

"Run!"

Qin Feng quickened his pace.

He took the stairs several steps at a time.

He headed straight up!

He could already faintly see the eerie fluid overflowing from that Fox Demon Egg.

The fluid filled the floors and crawled up the walls, flowing down in thick, rolling waves. It emitted a mysterious and profound aura, and its color had changed from the initial ink-red to a complete, deep crimson.

Soon.

The deep crimson reflected.

It filled Qin Feng's vision.

At the end of that deep crimson, Qin Feng discovered that the Fox Demon Egg seemed to have already been birthed; a head was vaguely emerging from within.

A deformed head that looked part-human and part-fox.

Rumble!!

Rumble!!

The booming sounds caught Qin Feng's attention.

The Raccoon Apartments in the Ether Layer Inner World were as fragile as tofu.

The walls and stairs seemed to be made of festering flesh; when struck by that giant infant with the indescribable face, they instantly exploded and collapsed.

In the blink of an eye.

Qin Feng felt a terrifying, blood-red wind sweeping toward him.

He glimpsed out of the corner of his eye.

The giant infant had already broken through the floors below.

It opened its mouth.

Fat tentacles lashed out from its mouth, coming within less than a meter of his back and heels!

But just then—

Splash!

The fluid from the Demon Egg in front of Qin Feng seemed to receive some intense stimulation, suddenly churning and condensing into a massive, deep crimson tentacle.

Whoosh!

It struck straight toward Qin Feng...

No.

To be precise, it struck straight toward the giant infant behind Qin Feng!

However.

Qin Feng's body was blocking the path between the two.

If the deep crimson tentacle collided with the giant infant.

He would certainly be turned into a meat patty.

Regarding this.

Qin Feng had long been prepared.

“Hidden Body!”

“Displace!”

His figure suddenly flashed.

At the very instant the deep crimson tentacle collided with the giant infant, he vanished by a hair's breadth.

When he reappeared.

He was already on the twentieth floor of the Raccoon Apartments in the Material Plane.

“Phew!”

“The speed of these two demon god powers is simply too fast. It's a good thing the displacement speed of my 'Hidden Body' isn't bad; otherwise, never mind a few seconds, if I'd been delayed by just a few frames, I'm afraid I would've been turned into a meat patty.”

Qin Feng wiped away a cold sweat.

As he expected.

When the corruption power of the cocoon of the demon god met the power of the previous generation demon god hidden within the Demon Egg, the two would naturally fight to the death.

And he, Qin Feng.

Was ultimately just a small fry.

He wouldn't even be noticed by the powers of the demon gods.

At this moment.

With the two great demon god powers fighting in the Ether Layer, the Material Plane of Raccoon Apartments was relatively calm. The tentacles and flesh that had been coiled around the outside of Raccoon Apartments had disappeared, all surging into the Ether Layer.

Qin Feng did not hesitate for a second.

He raised his hand.

And shattered the window glass with a punch.

Instantly.

The heavy, bloody air from outside swirled in.

Cold.

Sticky.

Blood Ravens flew in the night sky. They seemed to notice the commotion on Qin Feng's side and stared over in unison. Their crimson eyes fixed on Qin Feng, making the entire scene extremely eerie.

But Qin Feng's mood was very open and bright.

Finally.

He saw the night sky again!

It could be said.

Right now was his best opportunity to escape Raccoon Apartments!

“The last part of the Crest's power hasn't been collected yet... Forget it, greed knows no bounds. I originally thought about letting the two sides fight so I could reap the benefits, but thinking about it now, that would be seeking death.”

The corruption power of the demon god's projection was even stronger than Qin Feng had imagined.

The plan was perfect.

But accidents would always follow one after another.

If he were a true Martial Artist.

Qin Feng would still think about trying for it.

But in reality.

In his martial arts cultivation.

He hadn't even reached the level of a Quasi-Martial Artist.

It was better to honestly stay low.

“My strength isn't great enough.”

“Delusionally coveting benefits is just seeking death.”

“Let's go.”

Qin Feng instantly suppressed the greed growing in his heart, took a breath, and immediately became clear-headed.

He gazed out into the distance beyond Raccoon Apartments.

When he saw the hellish scene of corruption outside, he couldn't help but frown:

“It looks like the range of the demon god's corruption power is much larger than I imagined; it doesn't just include the area of Raccoon Apartments.”

“Right now, the floors below the apartment are all corrupted, not to mention the area outside. If I want to escape...”

“It seems I can only jump down from this twentieth floor.”

Jumping from the twentieth floor...

That would certainly result in being smashed into meat scraps.

However.

Fortunately, Qin Feng was already prepared for this.

His body moved.

He jumped onto the windowsill.

Just as he was about to leap down—

“Waa! Waa!”

The cry of an infant suddenly rang out from behind him.

“Hmm?”

Qin Feng's hair instantly stood on end.

This infant's cry did not come from the giant infant manifested by the demon god's corruption power.

But...

Another one!

“Papa! Papa!”

The infant could actually speak.

In its crying.

There was a mix of eager calling, as if it were calling out to its closest kin.

Listening closely, the calling also sounded like the low whimpering of a young beast, making those who heard it unable to help but feel pity and want to take it in.

Qin Feng didn't have the slightest intention of paying attention to this infant's crying.

Nor did he have any curiosity.

Without even turning his head.

He jumped straight out the window.

But...

Even though his speed was already extremely fast!

An eerie, small figure still suddenly flew out from deep within the twentieth floor of Raccoon Apartments. Like a ghost, it flew out the window along with Qin Feng and grabbed tightly onto his back!

“Papa! Papa! Don't leave me behind...”

The infant's crying entered his ears from behind his head.

The voice was sorrowful and moving.

But Qin Feng only felt his back turn cold.

His Soul felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

He clearly saw...

Two deep crimson tentacles crawling from behind him, like arms, wrapping around his waist.

“F*ck!”

“I didn't expect that at this final critical moment, I'd still get entangled.”

Qin Feng cursed inwardly.

Now he had no choice but to look back.

As his neck turned.

His gaze shifted.

Qin Feng soon discovered that what was clinging tightly to his back... was none other than that Fox Demon Egg!

At this very moment.

The Fox Demon Egg was already half-birthed.

The lower half was egg-shaped.

The upper half, however, was a thin body with wrinkled, shriveled skin and a spine where every bone was clearly visible.

And a deformed head hanging from this body.

The head looked part-human and part-fox.

The cheeks were hideous.

Wet white fur with traces of blood grew on its forehead.

At first glance.

It looked exactly like a deformed, withered old man.

At this moment, this "Deformed Old Man" opened its mouth, revealing rows of densely packed sharp teeth, but from its throat came the juvenile whimpering sound of an infant:

“Papa... I'm so hungry... I want to eat...”

“Papa... I see you...”

“Look very delicious...”
