Chapter 27: Kill Successful, Ji Lin Dies; Bone Flute Seized, Life Reshaped.
System prompt:
[Successfully absorbed abnormal substance, Constitution +1, Abnormal Point +1]
[Constitution: 51/50]
Ji Lin quickly absorbed the core of the aberrant individual, and his injuries were healed in an instant.
He only now realized that the attribute points gained from absorbing abnormal substances could actually exceed the limit.
"That little brat actually wants to kill all our demonic fetuses. What a huge appetite!" Li Quan cursed.
"Both of you stand next to me and see if he has the guts."
He was starting to get impatient. He knew this kid was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect him to be this difficult.
In less than a quarter of an hour, three people had already died, and all of them were rare abnormal individuals.
He looked at Ji Lin, but then he suddenly disappeared.
"Boss, he's gone to the back!" one of the Awakened said.
Those behind felt a chill run down their spines upon hearing this, wondering who else was about to suffer.
They all raised their weapons, their eyes darting around, cold sweat pouring down their backs.
"You two come with me to catch him, the rest of you guard the door! If he gets away, I'll kill you all with one blow!"
Li Quan gradually figured out Ji Lin's intentions. Relying on his own observations and the guidance of the two awakened individuals, he stopped testing the waters and began to take the initiative.
"Boss, to the right!" one of the Awakened pointed to the right front.
"He went to the left again!!"
Ji Lin tried to constantly change his position in order to find an opportunity to kill the remaining two abnormal beings. Even if they weren't for the bone flute, killing a couple more to earn some abnormal points would be a good thing.
But it also meant that he needed to consume more energy, and the side effects of demonization became more and more severe. Accompanied by intense pain, he felt that his body was on the verge of collapse.
Once the demonic form can no longer be maintained, the hunting game will be over.
Therefore, simply dragging things out is not a good strategy for him.
At this moment, Ji Lin suddenly unleashed a swarm of [Calamity Blood Locusts] that scattered to the left, while he himself attacked from the right.
Thousands upon thousands of red insects appeared out of thin air, flapping their wings and buzzing, and under his mental control, they flew rapidly toward the awakened ones to the side.
"What is this?"
"It's a bug!!"
Li Quan gathered his true energy and unleashed a palm strike. The chilling frost spread rapidly, and large numbers of insects fell to the ground. His palm strike knocked down most of the red blood locusts.
When he looked at the aberration on his left, he was surprised to find that it had been killed at some point.
"Very well! Young Master Ji, you have quite the skills!" Li Quan frowned, gritted his teeth, and was extremely angry.
[Anomaly +1]
[Successfully absorbed the abnormal substance, Constitution +3]
[Constitution: 54/50]
Ji Lin locked his eyes on the Awakened One who was standing close to Li Quan. There was only this one left. Killing this one before the demonic body dissipated would complete the mission.
He had considered using [Disaster Water Illusion] to confuse Li Quan, but then he remembered the mermaid monster from before, and realized that this skill was not very effective against high-level players.
Moreover, there is a great risk that Li Quan might attack during the brief opening after using a skill.
There are no more cards to play, and no time left.
He stopped thinking about it, took a deep breath, and activated the skill [Demonic Appearance - Shadow Strike]. He dodged, killed, and devoured, a series of actions he had already mastered.
[Successfully killed an Awakened Being, Anomaly Points +2]
[Successfully absorbed abnormal matter, Spirit +2]
[Spirit: 42/50]
"Outrageous!! Do you really think I'm easy to fool!" Li Quan quickly struck out with a palm, then followed closely behind Ji Lin, who was preparing to flee.
Ji Lin saw that he had already closed in to kill him, and that cold palm was less than a meter away from him.
He then quickly transformed his right hand into a demon and used the skill again, throwing a punch.
When their fists collided, another deafening roar erupted, shaking the entire basement and sending countless pieces of rubble crashing down.
Ji Lin's entire arm was immediately covered in frost, and he seemed to lose all feeling in it; his demonic form could no longer be maintained.
The attack, which dealt 145 points of damage, was barely managed to withstand.
Li Quan was extremely surprised. With his extraordinary strength, the opponent had taken the full force of the Yin Corpse Palm attack without suffering any damage.
Shocked, he continued his pursuit, grabbing Ji Lin's neck with one hand and giving it a gentle squeeze.
"Pfft!!"
Instantly, flesh and blood flew everywhere, the body fell straight backward, kicking up a cloud of dust, and then a head rolled off...
Ji Lin died.
"Boss's skills are unparalleled! Let's see if this kid still dares to be so cocky!!"
"Ugh! You've dirtied my clothes! How unlucky!"
Li Quan squatted down, took out the half bone flute from his arms, gently rubbed it, and examined it closely.
"This is it! Let's go!!"
He turned and left quickly, with the remaining men in black following closely behind.
System prompt:
The host has suffered severe trauma and is currently showing no vital signs.
[The exclusive skill "Life Reshaping" will automatically activate.]
Depending on the extent of the host's damage, this reconstruction will likely take about an hour.
[Number of reshaping attempts today: 0/1]
[Successfully consumed 20 points of Constitution]
[Constitution: 34/50]
The body is being reshaped...
Progress: 1%
At this moment, that body began to repair the internal injuries and damaged parts...
And the head still lay there quietly...
It seems the system automatically selected the part that takes less time and has fewer damaged areas to begin the reconstruction.
The flesh around the neck of the body began to writhe, and the bones slowly stretched...
As the fire died down and the blue light from the altar disappeared, the basement was plunged into darkness.
Quiet.
Very quiet.
The body lay there quietly.
There was not a sound, except for the faint rustling of liquid moving.
One hour later...
The body suddenly opened its eyes.
System prompt:
Progress: 100%
[Life Reconstruction Completed]
Did I just die?
It hurts, it hurts too much!
The head felt like it was being crushed by a millstone.
The memory is still there, even the scene and feeling of being strangled are still there. Thankfully, the memory hasn't been lost.
He touched his neck, a strong sense of fear washing over him; that person's strength was terrifying.
Looking at his body and limbs, he noticed that the black markings had disappeared.
He quickly took out the bone flute from the back, and was relieved to find that the treasure was still there.
To his surprise, even his long-standing hemorrhoids were cured.
It seems this life-reconstruction technique is incredibly powerful, repairing all the hidden dangers in the body.
He then added all the abnormal points to his constitution and opened the panel information:
【Season Arrival】
[Outliers: 0]
【Strength: 37/50】
Agility: 50/50
[Constitution: 40/50]
[Spirit: 42/50]
[Skills: Demonic Appearance - Shadow Strike, Calamity - Blood Locust, Calamity - Water Illusion]
[Exclusive: Life Reshaping]
[Talent: Heavenly Demonic Pressure]
With 40 points remaining in Constitution, after all this time of reading and training, I've only increased Strength and Spirit by two points.
This time it wasn't too bad, but we absolutely have to find a way to get that bone flute back!
Who exactly are those masked guys?
He lit the torch again and looked around for any clues they had left behind.
Got it!
After some searching, they actually found half a token, which belonged to one of the awakened ones...
