Chapter 166 fades away

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 bang!

Yi Chen’s upper body fell heavily to the ground.

Under the regeneration of the umbilical cord in the neck, a large number of roots grow out of the broken waist and abdomen, spreading towards the lower body not far away, connecting and connecting.

Just like when he fought against the giant eye at the bottom of the lake, Yi Chen completely believed in Little Putao’s control of the ‘eye’.

As long as you can successfully get into the opponent's core big eye, this battle will basically be over.

Even though it was only a relatively short battle, the "black umbilical cord" as an important relic has been severely damaged... most of the umbilical cord has shriveled up and is far from as fresh as before.

However,

 While Yi Chen’s upper and lower bodies were being connected,

An inexplicable feeling of discomfort swept through the whole body. It always felt like something was wrong. It always felt like the battle taking place here was not over yet. It always felt like there was another uneasy atmosphere permeating the grotto.

 Due to the eyeball being peeled off during the battle and the temporary departure of Little Grape.

Yi Chen can’t see anything at the moment, so he can only calm down and feel the environment, feel the ‘movements’ in the darkness, and capture the source of this uneasy feeling.

 【Darkness】is very familiar to Yi Chen, so he was not afraid when his eyeballs were peeled off.

This is thanks to his experience in the orphanage during his lifetime. Although Yi Chen was very good and could win various games and competitions, he was spared a lot of physical punishment compared to other students of the same age.

But Yi Chen was not willing to be trapped in the orphanage for the rest of his life, and he failed many times before he successfully escaped.

Each time you fail, you will be in a dark room for several days or even dozens of days.

The small room is completely dark, with only a small amount of light seeping through the cracks in the door when food is served.

Even the supply of food is completely random. The small box containing the food is black, and once it is delivered, it will blend into the small dark room.

 Open the lid and there may be delicious canteen food inside.

 It may also be a familiar mouse friend,

 Maybe even centipedes or snakes that carry toxins,

Occasionally, there will be limbs accidentally broken by people of the same age during torture.

　　It was very uncomfortable at first. Many people of the same age who have been locked up in a dark room will suffer from severe claustrophobia, and even go completely crazy inside. They choose to commit suicide within a few days after coming out.

 But as the time in detention increased, Yi Chen gradually adapted to such absolute darkness.

Think of yourself as a blind person without eyes, meditate in the dark, mentally review the overall structure of the orphanage, the patrol routes at different times, and even imitate the behavior of each orphanage staff.

 …

 Between the grottoes.

Yi Chen quickly calmed down in the darkness, ignoring the connection between his upper body and lower body, and carefully perceived the surrounding environment.

 Gajigaji~

 The flesh spontaneously grows plant roots and spreads on the ground, helping to collect environmental information.

　Abnormalities were captured within a few seconds, including the gathering of gray matter and the movement of foreign objects, and one felt an indescribable crisis from it...

"what!?"

Yi Chen, who smelled the breath of death, did not hesitate to further squeeze the energy between the umbilical cord and forcefully regenerate his eyes. He had to see clearly what the source of the danger was.

　　Why did I print a touch of yellow in the darkness when I was looking into the past even though I clearly had no eyes?

 As the vitreous body and lens form, the yellow blur projected between the lenses makes the sense of danger grow rapidly.

 When the iris, cornea and pupil are formed, you can finally see clearly.

 Source of danger,

 It is the yellow robe that was cut open by a hand ax in battle.

This yellow robe slowly bulges without physical support, escaping the undercurrent of the gray realm.

Seeing this scene, Yi Chen suddenly figured out something!

“Could it be said that... there is no last pilgrim at all, and this yellow robe is the real thing? It is collecting the pilgrims' eyeballs, trying to combine with its own yellow robe! 』

 While drawing a conclusion,

The ash flow collected in the yellow robe has formed the appearance of a skinny old man, with a frightening smile on his wrinkled face like a rock pattern, and he is gradually approaching Yi Chen.

Although it is clear that the old man is just the carrier of Huangpao,

But now Yi Chen is still unable to move, and his lower body is still connected to a large number of plants, and the connection is only 35% complete.

 Danger is approaching,

Even Lorian in the ward couldn't sit still. He felt a little uncomfortable when he saw this yellow robe alone.

   Shoo~ The old man's seemingly slow pace actually shortened the distance between the two of them in an instant.

When his withered right arm stretched out towards Yi Chen,

Pieces of wrinkled and ancient yellow ribbons also spread and grew, trying to wrap around Yi Chen's body, conveying the intention of occupying it.

 A faint moon mark appeared on Yi Chen's forehead, and Lorian was ready to show up in the ward.

 At this moment...shua!

 The yellow ribbon that almost touched Yi Chen's cheek was cut off by a ray of red light.

The red light and shadow incidentally struck the old man's chest with a palm.

 The red lotus is blooming~

　　Boom!

 Hitting the palm caused an explosion, and there was even thick red smoke rising from the palm. The old man in yellow robes flew out like a bullet and hit the grotto wall.

Jin arrived in time,

  The long red sword used for slashing was quickly put back into the scabbard behind him.

 Under the colorful mask was a stunned face, muttering softly:

“Huh? I just poured the red lotus energy into my body without any reservation, and it didn’t explode into powder. Is it still possible to maintain the whole body? Is it a problem with the yellow clothes?”

at the same time,

　　When the piece of yellow satin cut off by Jin fell to the ground, it seemed to have its own consciousness, trying to crawl back to the main body like an earthworm.

Yi Chen immediately shot out a string of roots to trap the yellow ribbon, but found that the roots were unable to touch and passed directly between the ribbons.

Without any choice,

Yichen tried to communicate with "Gentleman's Skin",

Clothes with a high enough leather content immediately responded, shooting silk threads carrying an ancient atmosphere from between the cuffs, successfully wrapping and dragging the yellow ribbon back.

 “Gentleman’s Skin” is also very spiritual.

 actually took the initiative to separate a part of the genuine leather to form an 'envelope structure' to store and seal the yellow ribbon and send it back to Yi Chen.

At this time, the connection rate between the upper and lower body has reached 60%, which is barely enough for Yi Chen to stand up and put the leather envelope into the inner pocket of his coat.

 “Gold…Thank you very much.”

 “This old guy in yellow clothes is not easy to kill... Let’s join forces!”

"OK!"

 The two of them assumed the posture they had used to deal with the Holy Fetus.

The old man in yellow robes between the stone walls spread with a stream of gray. The physical trauma caused by the red lotus explosion was instantly repaired, and he walked toward the two of them with twisted and weird steps.

Just when he twisted his body and was about to run,

Buzz!

 A beam of electromagnetic cannon blasted from the side, covering his whole body. Even though he was wrapped in a yellow robe, his body was still quickly annihilated by the electromagnetic cannon.

 The bombardment ended, leaving only a mutilated skeleton supporting the yellow robe.

 However, this is just the beginning!

 A spiritual pressure fell like a giant hammer, knocking the yellow-robed old man to the ground.

Ludwig Reagan arrived immediately, his palm pointed at the old man at the lower end...Boom!

Another electromagnetic cannon hit the old man, directly burning the yellow robe black, revealing some openings, and the old man's skeleton was directly shattered.

The loud explosion of the electromagnetic gun and the violent screams echoed in the grotto

 After withstanding ten rounds of electromagnetic cannons,

There are only a few debris left in the yellow robe, and the body built by the ash flow has long been annihilated.

 “Huh? There are still remnants…”

 Just as Reagan was about to add the eleventh cannon shot,

The debris of the yellow robe on the ground suddenly sank, stirring the grotto floor to form a strange whirlpool structure. Feeling the danger, Reagan immediately stepped away from the whirlpool area.

The vortex carried the debris and disappeared quickly, and even Reagan's mental tracking could not locate it.

“What the **** is this yellow cloth? Is it an alternative skin disease similar to gentleman’s skin?”

 When Reagan looked at the big eyes on the other side that were completely parasitized by small grapes, he also knew that the [Syndrome] had been eliminated.

Then he turned his attention to the two teammates and nodded, and the three of them finally reunited...
