Chapter 220
Shen Ge descended several floors in succession, finally arriving at what seemed to be the 37th floor. Starting from this level, the hallway had undergone a drastic transformation.
The overall appearance was like being inside intestines. Both sides were lined with soft walls piled with thick, greasy fat, emitting a faint, black Gui Energy, making it incredibly eerie.
The hallway was even narrower than the previous floors, and the smell of decay hung heavier in the air. Strangely, aside from some dried bloodstains, no corpses or rotting matter were found in the hallway or the surrounding rooms.
After searching around and finding nothing, Shen Ge intended to use “Collapse” again to move upward. However, this time, when he activated his Intangible Gui Domain, it was resisted by the intangible Gui Energy permeating the hallway, causing the Gui Energy consumption for maintaining the domain to increase severalfold.
In the past, such a drain would have emptied Shen Ge’s Gui Energy reserves in an instant. But now, on one hand, his Gui Energy upper limit was comparable to a Tier-4 Gui Entity’s. On the other hand, he had the Red Mist Armor as a backup, not to mention the Mental Apples and Gui Energy Cans he carried.
Therefore, after his Gui Energy was drained, Shen Ge immediately bit into a Mental Apple to recover.
“Master, upon using your ability, detection indicates the Gui Energy in the hallway rapidly converged towards your location, leading to the failure of your ability activation,” Little Seven reminded.
Shen Ge asked, “Can you calculate how much of the hallway’s Gui Energy I consumed in that instant?”
“Reply, Master: less than one-tenth.”
