Chapter 259
The moment Shen Ge activated his three traits, the monsters formed from congealed plasma instantly lost their target. They stood frozen in place, utterly dumbfounded.
After circling the area once, Shen Ge realized the environment was far more complex than he had imagined. The surrounding walls of flesh were significantly tougher than those on the upper levels. Even if he wanted to use “Collapse” to force a path open, it would require an enormous amount of anomalous energy.
Just then, Little Seven suddenly warned, “Master, the red viscous substance on the ground is highly corrosive to the Crimson Mist Armor. I suggest that after you get a better understanding of the layout, you find higher ground first to avoid contact with the corrosive material before planning your exit.”
The level of decay and erosion here was worse than anywhere Shen Ge had entered so far. The original structure was barely recognizable—only vague outlines of buildings remained. Whether walls or pillars, everything was covered in a layer of foul, stinking rot.
Shen Ge looked around but found nowhere suitable to land. In the end, he used his Rotblood Tentacles connected to the Anomalous Glove “Unrelenting” to grapple onto something resembling a stone pillar. He hoisted himself up, suspending his body in the air to avoid touching the corrosive ground. Only then did the drain on the Crimson Mist Armor’s energy stop.
Now, Shen Ge was faced with two choices.
The first was to go back the way he came—climbing back up the massive hole he had free-fallen through for over ten minutes. The problem was, ever since he had dropped down, the rotting flesh on the “ceiling” had already sealed shut, completely blocking the entrance.
The second option was to search for a “weak point” here and try to break through using the Anomaly-Killing Revolver and the Anomalous Energy Rocket Launcher in conjunction with “Collapse.”
But no matter which choice he made, it would put a massive strain on his anomalous energy reserves.
