Chapter 367-1: Facing a God, Nether Prison Wailer (1)
The strength of the Wet Nurse’s offspring varied greatly, but even the youngest, like Flanda, had already reached the demigod realm. From that, Lin Xun suspected that some of the older direct offspring might have already stepped into the god realm.
If Flanda and Kim ran into a few collateral offspring or younger offspring, then with their top demigod strength they could absolutely slaughter them with ease.
But if they encountered an offspring in the god realm… then they would be in danger.
[Inside the flesh nest, the air was dark and suffocating. After the Ascended finished reporting the battle, three enormous shadows revealed a few scales and claws, then once more sank back into the darkness…]
[Suddenly, a pair of blood-red, gigantic eyes lit up in the dark. That gaze, suppressing madness, seemed to pierce through the light screen and lock firmly onto you.]
[A roar of rage followed… Lowly ant, you dare to spy upon it?!]
[The oval light screen in front of you instantly shattered apart, turning into countless motes of starlight that scattered and vanished.]
[You cannot help looking toward the Librarian at your side. He seems to have anticipated this, and he chants a spell again, creating a new light screen.]
[The Librarian comments meaningfully that you were discovered by accident…]
[The new light screen is more solid than before, and the picture within is clearer, but what it shows is no longer the flesh nest. Instead, it shifts to Flanda and Kim on their way…]Lin Xun’s heart lurched.
The administrator could not directly reveal information related to the Game, and was instead using this veiled way to convey some kind of message to him.
Flanda and Kim, as top demigods, could not sense the spying of the light screen at all, yet that Wet Nurse offspring in the flesh nest had detected it instantly.
“A god? Could there really be a Wet Nurse offspring in the god realm?!”
“This is bad. Flanda and Kim are in danger!”
[Flanda and Kim followed the tracks of the retreating Ascended army as they quickly advanced…]
[After traveling for some time, the two of them saw an endless Ascended army at the edge of their vision.]
[Within the Ascended army there was a large, temporary camp. Standing tall at the very center of the camp was that enormous flesh nest.]
[When Flanda saw the nest looming in the distance, she faintly furrowed her brows. She closed her eyes and silently sensed, then her brows relaxed. She said to Kim at her side…]
[She could sense that there were many powers in the enemy camp that were close to transcendent, likely mass produced, incubated angel warriors.]
[These enemies were not important. What mattered was that inside the flesh nest there were two powerful forces slightly weaker than her, but which had also reached the transcendent level.]
[Kim grew very excited at that. Those two forces had to be the Wet Nurse’s offspring. Defeating them should complete the trial.]
[Kim let out a roar and swung his huge scorpion pincers as he charged forward.]
[Flanda hesitated, but seeing how much dust Kim’s charge was kicking up and how it had already drawn the Ascended’s attention, she could only follow.]
Watching this, Lin Xun was frantic with anxiety.
Flanda had only sensed two powers inside the flesh nest, which undoubtedly confirmed his suspicion.
The remaining Wet Nurse offspring had already grown so powerful it transcended realms, to the point that Flanda could not sense it at all.
“I have to get a warning to Flanda. I can’t let them go to their deaths for nothing!”
He still had the Firefly Stones Flanda and Kim had given him in his item bar.
While the Firefly Stone could not directly summon a story character, it could send out a request for aid.
With Flanda’s intelligence, she should be able to pick up on the warning from it.
Lin Xun tried to click the item to use it, but the Cursed game notified him that the item could not take effect for now.
By this time, Kim had already charged into the Ascended army and started a bloody slaughter. Not a single Ascended could withstand his attacks. Wherever he went, rivers of blood flowed and severed limbs lay everywhere.
Over ten Divine Kingdom Dragons barred Kim’s way, but he rammed into them with a single brutal charge and crushed them into paste.
After losing the Complete Wet Nurse Umbilical Cord, Kim’s Painbearer vessel had not lost much strength. His combat power was now probably about the same as Flanda’s.
Kim was in charge of the enemies on the ground, while Flanda took care of the flying troops in the sky.
Flanda did not even reveal her combat form as an Ascended. Just in the form of a human girl, she cleanly wiped out all the powerful flying units one after another.
It was like someone swinging an electric mosquito swatter into a swarm of mosquitoes. Each time she attacked, it created a spectacular scene of enemies dropping like dumplings. Wherever she struck, the aerial troops fell in whole sheets.
The two of them advanced through the enemy ranks with absolute crushing force, steadily drawing closer to the giant nest.
Just as they neared the temporary camp, the angel warriors lurking nearby suddenly sprang their ambush.
Among them were not only the four great angels Lin Xun had seen before, but also several unfamiliar angel warriors.
All told, there were probably twenty to thirty angel warriors.
Yet, to Lin Xun, those angel warriors he had considered powerful could do nothing to stop Flanda and Kim’s advance.
Even their joint ambush, which they had prepared carefully, was unable to inflict much harm on the two.
Kim swung his massive pincers hard, smashing down on three Cruel Angels lunging at him.
The Cruel Angels did not even have time to scream before they were struck without suspense and instantly exploded into clouds of blood mist.
A few Bloody Angels in the distance fired their stingers in unison. Blood-red streaks flashed past and drove into Kim’s body, but to him it was no different from a tickle.
The scene was exactly the same as when the Nine-Tailed Fox had used divine lightning to scratch at Painbearer Belatu.
Flanda stomped hard on the ground. Her figure vanished from where she stood, and when she reappeared she was already amidst the cluster of Plague Angels and Bloody Angels in the distance.
For long ranged angel warriors like Plague Angels and Bloody Angels, the consequences of letting Flanda get into melee were predictable.
It was like a lioness leaping into a flock of sheep, a picture that could only be described as violent beauty.
Flanda and Kim moved through the tens of thousands of enemies as though walking into an empty courtyard, while Lin Xun watched anxiously from the side.
The closer the two drew to the flesh nest at the center of the camp, the more dangerous it became.
“If the Firefly Stone does nothing, what else can I do…”
“Right! I have Hive Consciousness!”
Lin Xun quickly remembered that Flanda had once used Hive Consciousness to communicate with him.
However, that time they had been very close to one another, with Flanda hidden inside a Divine Kingdom Dragon and him riding on its back.
Given the current situation, he had no idea whether he could contact Flanda using Hive Consciousness, but he could only try.
If the two of them received his warning now and immediately fled at full speed, there might still be a chance of survival.
[…]
[You attempt to activate Hive Consciousness…]
[In the unseen depths, you sense a small, isolated web of consciousness.]
[Within this colorless web of consciousness, aside from you and the Divine Kingdom Dragon, there is also Flanda’s extremely powerful consciousness.]
[You attempt to transmit your thoughts to Flanda through the web of consciousness…]
[Your special attribute Hive Consciousness is now at +12, reaching the minimum requirement of +10 needed for Thought Transmission.]
[Thought Transmission in progress…]
[Due to the great distance between you and the target, and because your Hive Consciousness level is still too low, the information transmitted by Thought Transmission will be distorted and inaccurate…]
[At the same time, far away on the front-line battlefield, Flanda suddenly pauses, shaking off the lifeless Plague Angel in her hand.]
[She says to Kim, who is still killing merrily beside her, that she has a very dangerous premonition. It seems the hidden enemy is not as weak as they imagined.]
[Kim does not stop his attacks and replies without thinking that no matter how strong the enemy is, they still have to pass the trial, and the only way to pass is right in front of them.]
[If they run away because of a vague sense of danger, then how are they supposed to pass the trial and return to the Oath bearer’s side?]
[If they tried to run from the front lines to the Sacred Nest on foot, by the time they actually arrived, the Wet Nurse would probably already be having her second child…]
[Flanda opens her mouth, wanting to say more, but after thinking it over she finds Kim’s words quite reasonable.]
[Other than defeating the enemy and clearing the trial, there is no other way for them to return quickly to the Sacred Nest…]
[Flanda clenches her fists and dives back into the enemy ranks…]
