Deep in the Living-Chapter 481 - 467: Rotten VS Blood

Between Mia’s skull that was sliced open by the slaughter knife,

flies lay eggs inside, the decay affecting the brain, suppressing the imposed "blood phobia."

Mia watched the figure in the center of the square, rubbing her temples, "Divinity... very weak, but it exists. I didn’t expect the incident we accidentally got involved in would lead to encountering such a thing.

Generally speaking, this kind of thing only exists in dungeons, or even deeper corners.

Of course! This guy is just a fake, obtaining deep responses through this huge ritual, granting her weak divinity."

"Divinity?"

This was a concept realm Luo Di had never touched before. If he were to talk about divinity, the first thing he would think of was the Craft Avatar he had seen on a resort island.

The usually crazy Mia seemed somewhat professional at the moment, explaining:

"This is a very advanced form of fear expression, mastering fear to the extreme.

Generally speaking, murderers like you and me need to convey fear to our prey through various means, such as footsteps, masks, slaughter aura, and pressure as ’intermediaries.’

If the opponent has high fear resistance, the transmission efficiency will be poor. Some guys may only feel fear at the last moment when they are about to be killed.

Divinity is different,

If we possess divinity,

like the target before us, just being close to them will force them to suffer from the corresponding "fear phobia." Moreover, this fear phobia will be deeply engraved in the lowest layer of consciousness, difficult to eradicate.

I am working hard for this goal!"

"Divinity... can it be obtained when a plant grows to a certain stage?"

"No, this doesn’t have an absolute relation with plants. Some monsters that have been in the corners for a long time, with their plants reaching high stages, still don’t possess divinity.

I don’t know exactly what it needs; it should be some kind of talent and opportunity.

In my view, this might be the ’opportunity,’ we need to kill this guy properly. Show your true strength, Mr. Di."

"Alright."

Luo Di had completed the gray filter.

His eyeballs were covered by tentacles, the whole brain wrapped, his vision turning completely gray, unable to detect other colors, especially the red of blood.

Though he couldn’t completely erase the reaction to blood phobia, as long as it didn’t affect combat too much, it was enough.

The bloody individual at the center of the square seemed to still be adjusting to the body, not attacking immediately. In that case, Luo Di took the initiative.

Just like dealing with those villagers before,

using this unknown scorching ability obtained from somewhere, transmitted through his left arm to the iron hook,

stepping forward with a bow stance,

twisting his waist and swinging his arm,

throwing!

Like in movies where murderers throw axes, swoosh... the fast rotating hook flew straight out and was about to pierce into the target’s lotus face.

Buzz!

Within less than half a meter, the scorching hook suddenly halted, as if stuck on an invisible barrier.

Together with a bit of blood plasma, it fell to the ground.

"Is this... some kind of barrier?"

Luo Di’s gray vision could vaguely detect some things, as if there was an invisible blood curtain surrounding the opponent’s body, blocking any attacks.

"Mia, be careful!"

As soon as Luo Di gave a verbal warning, Mia had already disappeared.

She had sprinted out simultaneously with the hook throw and was currently standing in front of the target.

Pulling out the slaughter knife embedded in her skull,

Mia had a crazed look on her face,

raising her hand and swinging down the knife,

slaughtering!

The knife’s power was evidently greater than the hook thrown by Luo Di,

with the ultimate decay combined with Mia’s own murderer strength,

it was about to tear open the blood curtain and slash the opponent’s flesh.

The lotus opened its eyes,

one by one blood-colored eyes, like lotus seeds, widening together, staring at Mia.

A close-distance gaze!

Buzz!

Several times the effect of blood phobia swept over.

Mia’s facial muscles instantly began twitching, blood seeping from seven orifices, her arm strength weakening due to fear, forcing a stop to the slaughtering.

Even due to the intense blood phobia reaction, large-scale hemolysis began appearing in Mia’s body, her skeletal, muscular, and internal organs slowly dissolving into blood.

Bang!

The blood lotus creature swung a palm strike directly at Mia’s abdomen.

The power was astounding, as if countless blood hands exerted strength together.

The slaughter knife soared high through the air,

her whole body was hit into a deformed state like rotten mud, flying out, with every pore of her body seeping blood outward... bang!

Rolling to a stop in front of a wooden hut, her flesh twisted, life or death unknown.

Luo Di was shocked by this scene; he knew Mia’s strength well, yet she fell into such a state after the first direct confrontation.

It seemed that a frontal clash barely offered any chance,

Moreover, their weapons had been confiscated, fighting barehanded was too much for a murderer.

Luo Di carried an iron bucket, his gaze fixed on that particular wooden house, the one leading to the sewers.

If they could reach there, head to the sewers, maybe they could temporarily avoid the danger... After all, Luo Di remembered clearly that the stench of blood lingering around the village couldn’t penetrate the sewers at all.

A long-term plan was needed right now,

They needed time to set up a strategy,

They needed to retrieve their killing weapons.

His calves tensed,

Stepping forward in a sprint,

He could see tentacles writhing between his calves, enhancing the muscle’s efficiency.

Luo Di didn’t flee directly but dashed toward where Mia was, planning to carry her on his shoulder and escape together.

But before he reached her, he smelled a stench.

This stench even overpowered the bloody rain’s odor,

Luo Di felt like he had burst into a room, a [Corpse House] piled with bodies, left undiscovered and untreated for months, fermenting naturally.

Covered in blood, with shattered fractures, Mia suddenly smiled,

"Haha... Hahaha! It hurts so much, I haven’t felt such pain in a long time. I didn’t expect to have to show my true power at the very start, how embarrassing.

Luo Di, don’t get scared, and don’t misunderstand the form I’m about to show.

This is just my manifestation of fear, just my pituitary expression in extreme conditions, I’m still quite pretty underneath."

As soon as she finished speaking,

Luo Di sensed danger and took a step back proactively.

"Let the world... rot."

Buzz!

An invisible field seemed to spread out, and the freckles on Mia’s face grew darker, resembling corpse spots.

Her young, girlish body also lost all its color.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

A green-head fly pried open her eyelids with force, squeezing out through the milky white gaps of her eyeballs, only to completely perish after a few flaps.

Dead flies and insects constantly fell from Mia’s body.

Even these carrion creatures, which depend on rot for survival, couldn’t continue living inside Mia.

Droplets of extremely decayed black water dripped from her nostrils.

Splat!

The black water hit the ground,

The stained soil lost its luster, even the bloody rain on the ground turned foul and black.

Seeing Mia before him, inhaling this supremely vile stench, a manifestation of a plant nurtured by malice.

A term subtly surfaced in Luo Di’s mind, and he subconsciously mouthed it.

"Eight Evil People."

Buzz!

Moving at ultra-high speed,

Her speed seemed to reach a whole new level, instantly appearing before the Blood Lotus creature, leaving decaying, pus-leaking ground in her wake.

Rot eating away at the blood,

Mia ripped through the opponent’s blood screen barehanded... Her sharp nails tore five corroded gashes into the foe’s body, releasing a torrent of original blood.

Even the blood lotus on the face shrunk in surprise.

Right now,

Blood rain had covered the land,

The opponent raised a hand, forming several huge arms of blood, pounding and striking at Mia repeatedly! Each hit powerful enough to shatter flesh.

Mia could only evade while searching for an opportunity,

But the sheer number was overwhelming, and no matter how fast she moved, she was soon cornered.

Seeing as she was about to be crushed by two massive palms,

Splat!

One of the palms was directly shattered into blood mist, forming a pit on the ground.

Luo Di arrived just in time with a baseball bat in hand,

After confirming that Mia underwent some fear transformation, he decisively went searching for the misplaced weapons, finding them locked in a village church.

Quickly identifying the lost items through the gray aura lingering on the bat, he brought them first thing.

He handed over a long-handled axe etched with a special name to Mia.

"Thank you... After this, I’ll repay you well. Now let’s initiate the Joint Slaughter, we murderers can’t lose face."

"Alright."

Just standing next to Mia, breathing normally, Luo Di felt his throat and lungs severely corroded.

The "Fear Form" that she exhibited was likely the plant’s mature ability expression... For some reason, Luo Di became excited as well, his spine heating up.

Mia released a field,

Rotting corpses crawled out from the ground.

Sleeping for the night, the next day
