Deep in the Living

Chapter 688: Ultimate Flesh


Fishing Village Periphery.

An ugly merchant suffering from severe dwarfism, his body adorned with jewelry and trinkets, rode a mount made from four monsters combined with a human head, arriving here.

Simply because he didn't pay much attention some time ago, he carelessly sold a defective product, and someone came to reason with him.

Initially, it was a very minor issue, and according to regular business rules, he only needed to compensate multiple times over.

But this guy was so greedy he wouldn't pay that much, so he directly killed the other party and took back the item.

Little did he know, the newcomer he killed was a new member of the Sisterhood, and this operation brought about a chase by several Sisterhood members.

He could only come here to lay low until the situation cooled down.

"Strange, why are there no fish vendors!? Didn't the news say outsiders would encounter fish vendors at the fishing village's periphery? With fish, you can normally settle in the village.

Whatever, let's get into the village first."

The dwarf merchant controlled the mount, moving through the fog. It hadn't been long before the mount stopped.

"You damned thing, I just fed you, why can't you move? Hurry up, if those crazy women catch up, we're dead."

The merchant angrily beat the mount, but it remained unmoved. As he prepared to resort to worse measures,

creak creak~ he heard something.

Looking around, he discovered the real reason the mount wouldn't move.

Beyond the mist, about five meters away, there seemed to be a high wall built of flesh and blood.

The merchant hastily took out his most precious monocular telescope, pierced through the mist, and found the endless wall of flesh and blood, seemingly sealing off the entire fishing village.

"What's going on? Didn't they say anyone could come to the fishing village? Do I have to actively contact this wall to enter the village?"

The merchant shoved a strange capsule into the mount's body, forcibly taking over its consciousness, controlling it to try touching the wall of flesh and blood.

At the moment of contact,

strands of blood and flesh fibers swiftly wrapped around the mount's body, dismantling it on the spot.

This instant death frightened the merchant back a step,

Yet the wall of flesh and blood seemed to have opened its appetite, and before he could react, the fibers attacked, enveloping his entire body, swallowing him whole.

When members of the Sisterhood arrived to pursue the outskirts of the fishing village, arms emerged on their bodies. Their elder grandmother's intervention made them abandon the chase and quickly retreat.

The grandmother's true body also took the opportunity to descend, personally observing the situation here.

She made her hands into a ring, placing them in front to filter her vision, directly clearing away all the mist.

A huge egg-like membrane of flesh and blood enveloped the entire fishing village, the meaty stench that should have been released covered by the fog, some unknown event happening within.

Even while witnessing this primal flesh, her heart was quite fearful, her fingers slightly trembling.

"Luo Di... can you survive?"

...

[Full Lockdown]

It was confirmed that the entire fishing village was sealed off by flesh and blood, without any escape route.

The three people cloaked with Invisibility Talismans had no choice but to hide at Joke's former residence.

Of course, this was just the least bad option out of the worst options; being discovered was only a matter of time, just to buy a little time.

Closing the hidden door,

talisman sealing.

Only then could everyone catch their breath.

Yu Ze was both completing the wall seals and saying:

"In the Exploration Bureau, there are also rumors about the Double Door Monster, but no one has ever encountered them, nor is there any substantial information... I didn't expect this thing to actually exist and be the root of the fishing village's disappearances.

Oh fellow countryman, your luck is just too good. Randomly taking an extinction mission ended up having us encounter such an existence.

This guy's power is probably above the teacher's; it's a pure manifestation of flesh and blood. At least in this domain, I've never seen any human or monster match it."

Phew...

Luo Di temporarily released the Open Spine state, taking deep breaths, recalling the recent encounter, it was truly exaggerated.

"My effective beheading instead turned the situation unfavorable, this guy's entire body can cut off a piece of meat to form one or even multiple dangerous entities.

Just a severed forearm can form a hundred-meter-long dragon of flesh and blood.

If monsters like these could originally participate against the Outer Realm, we might have had it easier."

Yu Ze shook his head, holding a contrary viewpoint: "Not necessarily... His sanity seems low, no knowing how much humanity is left.

He should have arrived at the fishing village long before related organizations appeared in the Corner. His understanding of the outside world is limited to visiting outsiders.

The just-used spell shouldn't have fooled an existence of this level, yet it unexpectedly worked.

With cognitive deficits and unstable sanity, being used against outer gods could likely make him a slave.

In any case, let's hope Miss Wu Wen's actions succeed.

Additionally, Luo Di, you need to bring out Outer Realm means. If her actions fail, we can only rely on high-grade dimensional means to escape.

If we can make it outside, the teachers should provide support."

"Mmm."

There was no need for Yu Ze's reminder,

After the stress from the recent encounter, Luo Di began using his left arm to construct a channel, currently a hole structure had formed in his palm, and the metal inside was etching detailed engravings.

He also mimicked Gust, licking his palm, using saliva as lubricant to increase the efficiency and stability of spatial transmission.

Yu Ze asked again, "Right... Where did the characteristic of [Fish] in Miss Wu Wen's body come from? Do you know, fellow countryman?"

"The videotape incident, everyone who participated more or less gained something, all in contact with deep fear. Wu Wen probably encountered the source of fear related to the deep sea and fish species.

With her mimicry and learning capabilities, she should have successfully inherited the relevant traits."

"Ah, it's just so annoying~ Why didn't I have such an opportunity back then? If I could have participated..."

While sticking talismans, Yu Ze suddenly sensed something, his speech being blocked mid-sentence, and raised two fingers before him to try constructing some defensive Barrier.

Still too slow.

Bam!

The wall shattered, the Barrier collapsed!

An irregular flesh pillar pierced through, directly punching a hole in Yu Ze's abdomen, pinning him to the opposite wall.

The piercing wasn't the worst part,

because the direct contact between the flesh pillar and body was causing Yu Ze's body to disassemble, one by one, his meat fibers peeling off.

Yu Ze was injured, trapped in a life-or-death crisis.

Song Huiwen erupted in rage, letting her mind intentionally fall into the Abyss, fully triggering her comic characteristics.

Her already exaggerated mouth ripped open,

the lower jaw reaching the abdomen,

the upper jaw reaching the top of her head,

completely open mouth growing a monster's head filled with various oral apparatuses and teeth, more long arms emerging, almost filling the dim room.

The true nature of the Green Door Monster was perfectly manifested on her.

Even trapped in such a form, her primary action was still to save Yu Ze!

Howl!

A pure roar came from within, directly shattering the flesh pillar, making even Luo Di beside have to cover his ears.

As it shattered,

about a third of Yu Ze's body remained,

Miss Song quickly extended her hand to embrace him, sending him into her mouth, swallowed for protection.

In the next second.

More flesh pillars pierced through the walls, though Song Huiwen barely shattered two, her body was quickly pierced.

Or rather, as long as it's a flesh lifeform, it's almost impossible to overcome the existence before them. At the physical level, they would be completely suppressed, any resistance being remarkable.

The hidden door opened.

The Faceless Man entered,

these terrifying flesh pillars were merely derivations of his "fingers".

He was slightly astonished by the monster form presented by Song Huiwen, but his gaze was still fixed on the human who could sever his arm.

Luo Di took a deep breath.

Since entering the dim room, he hadn't been merely resting but secretly arranging the scene! As the other stepped in, it was immediately switched to a movie set, activating cinematic effects.

Luo Di simultaneously raised his left arm high, placing the membership card between the channel in his palm.

In this situation, he certainly couldn't escape alone, only request aid from the bar again!.

Just as some human demon was about to respond to his call...

Ahhhhh!!!!

A strong lament sounded from the depths of the ocean.

Always keeping a composed face, the Faceless Man now had bloody fissures appearing on his face, with small protrusions surfacing.

He decisively abandoned the target before him, and at the fastest speed, ran towards the sea.
