I hacked through the chaotic world with my blade

Chapter 1292 - 306: Thirty Like a Wolf, Forty Like a Tiger, Fifty Men Are Like Dirt

Looking far into the distance, flesh and blood spread endlessly, extending beyond sight.

"Is there even such a place?"

Lin Fan was shocked and could hardly believe his eyes. He had cleared so many places, but had never seen such an environment. Even places that had turned into blackened lands couldn’t compare to the situation in front of him.

The flesh adhering to the ground had been there for a long time, but on closer inspection, under the surface of blackened red skin, a red liquid was flowing.

Squish!

The Frostmourne broke through the surface, and viscous blood gushed out, a pungent odor assaulting the senses, causing slight discomfort.

"The situation here is very unusual, there must be something wrong."

Lin Fan saw it at a glance.

As he walked forward, he could gradually see some bones entwined in flesh, looking like human bones, but some of the skeletal structures were off, not quite like average human corpse bones.

Forget it.

What’s the use of thinking about it?

It had already turned out like this, and he wasn’t Di Renjie; he couldn’t deduce what happened just by looking at bones, so the best approach was to go deeper and find what had transformed this area.

Walking alone on the crimson ground, someone with less courage would have fled long ago, avoiding wandering here recklessly.

Unknown terror is the real terror.

But Lin Fan enjoyed challenging the unknown terror.

Ahead.

A figure looked anxiously around, quickening their pace to leave. Suddenly, as if they discovered something, they looked up, squinting, trying hard to open their eyes wide.

"Damn!"

Ogamoto Reiyi, upon seeing him clearly, instantly remembered who he was, scared out of his wits. How did he get here? It almost scared the heart out of him.

Betting that the other hadn’t seen him, he immediately lay down, pretending to be a corpse, thinking to himself, you haven’t seen me, you absolutely can’t see me.

Walking amidst the flesh and blood, Lin Fan stopped before Ogamoto Reiyi and said, "Isn’t the ground dirty? Why are you lying there?"

"I didn’t notice, I just tripped."

Ogamoto Reiyi trembled as he stood up, speaking in a low voice, not daring to act boldly. He truly couldn’t understand how he ended up encountering Lin Fan here.

Lin Fan said, "Then you should be careful. It’s easy to trip while walking; maybe there’s something wrong with you."

"Yes, yes, there might indeed be something wrong with me."

"What are you doing here?" Lin Fan wanted to laugh; was he really that terrifying?

But if they’re scared, then let them be scared for a bit.

Ogamoto Reiyi said, "I’m just wandering around, doing nothing really."

"You’re looking for a powerful Creator to get revenge on me, right?" Lin Fan allowed Ogamoto Reiyi to live, hoping he’d continue to find the Creator. It seemed that he was indeed putting in a lot of effort to search.

His trust was not misplaced.

"No, no." Ogamoto Reiyi hurriedly waved his hand, not daring to say aloud that yes, I’m looking for the strongest Creator; the one from Universe Country was too useless. Consider me blind, but if I keep looking, I’ll definitely find the strongest one.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "It’s fine, your spirit is admirable, so I’m willing to give you a chance. But don’t go back to your hometown; I sank your hometown’s island with one punch."

Shock!

Ogamoto Reiyi’s eyes widened, fury burning within him, clenching his fists tight. Bastard, it was this guy who destroyed my hometown.

But just as that rage ignited, it was suppressed, "Thank you for the heads up, I’m really afraid of making a trip for nothing."

Lin Fan saw the anger in Ogamoto Reiyi’s eyes.

This was precisely the effect he wanted.

Anger was good; only when furious would one have drive.

"It’s nothing; it’s just a small matter, no need to thank me. Why are you leaving after coming here? Tell the truth, no lies; I don’t like hearing falsehoods."

Lin Fan felt there must be a reason for Ogamoto Reiyi coming here, and his departure surely wasn’t simple either.

Swallowing hard, Ogamoto Reiyi said, "I think it’s too dangerous here. In the distance lies something that makes my heart tremble, so I figured I’d leave."

When he first arrived, he was excited. A scene like this clearly harbored an extremely powerful Creator. But as he ventured deeper, things around seemed increasingly abnormal.

More and more colossal zombies formed mountains of corpses; the flesh rotted as something unknown absorbed the blood. Even the Creator who slaughtered his compatriots, he dared not face.

Creators with temperaments this violent wouldn’t necessarily heed his coaxing.

So leaving was, in his mind, the most prudent choice.

"Oh, really? Even you, a zombie, are afraid." Lin Fan believed there was something big in the distance, camera eagerly waiting to capture it.

Ogamoto Reiyi rolled his eyes, thinking, that’s all nonsense. If I weren’t afraid, could I leave?

"I’m scared."

"Alright, you may go."

"You’re not going to kill me?"

Ogamoto Reiyi almost forgot how many times the other let him go. Was it truly just to use him as a toy? Feeling utterly humiliated, he swore he’d find the strongest Creator and then fiercely crush Lin Fan beneath his feet, telling him that letting him go was a big mistake.

"Don’t ask such questions; I told you your spirit earns my respect. Go, head northwest or southwest, large areas I haven’t cleared yet."

Lin Fan showed him a clear path, saving him energy and time. Although his stage was low, his wisdom was undeniable. The path of zombie evolution had many miracles indeed.

Ogamoto Reiyi fumed inside; even ordinary words conveyed humiliation. Just because I, Ogamoto Reiyi, have no power doesn’t mean I should be humiliated like this. Fine, just wait; I, Ogamoto Reiyi, will become the connoisseur of this apocalypse, finding more talents to make you regret it.

"Thank you, truly, farewell."

As the words fell, Ogamoto Reiyi bolted, fearing the other would regret it.

Lin Fan watched the clumsy departing figure of Ogamoto Reiyi, shaking his head and genuinely wanting to laugh. "I’ve said I won’t kill you, yet you’re still so scared. Building trust between humans and zombies has always been this difficult."

He hoped it would exert some effort and genuinely find more Creators.

Sparing him the time and effort of finding them himself.

Gazing into the distance, he grew ever more curious about what Ogamoto Reiyi feared so much. In areas he hadn’t cleared, Evolutionary Zombies would rampage without restraint. Without natural enemies, they could develop peacefully, inevitably leading to horrors.

"Let me see what you truly are."

Lin Fan quickened his pace, barely able to wait. As he increased his speed, the surroundings blurred by rapidly. The further forward he went, the thicker the accumulation of flesh and blood on the ground became. He also noticed that, continually, zombies were being entwined by tentacles extending from the ground, holding them firmly in place.

Even Evolutionary Zombies couldn’t escape.

"Luckily, it didn’t come to this area; otherwise, with its meager strength, it wouldn’t have been able to escape either."

The ground cracked, tentacles fastened upon Lin Fan, coiling around his ankles, tightening steadily. But was Lin Fan’s physical strength something these tentacles could threaten?

He bent down, grabbing a tentacle, intending to drag the unknown Creator from the ground, but the tentacle in his hand tore apart.

"So little hardness."

He had hoped to pull the entity out, but it seemed this idea was unrealistic.

Rumble!

Rumble!

The ground abruptly shuddered as if an earthquake had erupted. Cracks appeared and spread like a spider web.

"Is it aware of my presence and is planning to show up?"

A fine fellow, he favored Creators that took initiative.

Squish!

Squish!

The sound of earth breaking came through.

Lin Fan was astonished, seeing countless densely packed bloody tentacles burst from beneath the ground, each twisting freely, extending over ten meters long.

Yet, these sounds hadn’t ceased.

He found himself surrounded by the tentacles, completely trapping him with no means of escape.
