CHAPTER 539: CHAPTER 446: ADDICTED TO BALDNESS? (5000)_3

Soon, a vague thought from the demon blade was received in my mind: ’Master, this guy has turned into a big meatball, charred on the outside, but still raw inside.’

After absorbing the blood of the two mutated creatures number five and four today, the power of the demon blade has recovered a bit.

Previously, only when Li Zheng held it, could he communicate with mind intent.

Now, the transmission can be received even from a distance.

Li Zheng received the report from the demon blade and involuntarily recalled a story he had read as a child about ants gathering into a ball when faced with a fire, protecting all living forces in the center, striving to continue the species through the disaster.

’Master, there’s not much blood in this guy’s body, it doesn’t seem to live on blood!’

The demon blade sent another thought, ’Wait! It’s going to run!’

"Run?"

Li Zheng didn’t understand for a moment, even if the divine power wanted to escape, where could it escape to?

The space is completely closed, without a ticket, it can’t even enter or exit.

’It’s afraid of fire! It wants to run outside the flames!’ The thoughts from the demon blade grew weaker, indicating its distance from Li Zheng was increasing.

Li Zheng glanced at his Genetic Force, with less than sixty points left, maintaining the ability of Extreme Isolation was very easy.

But when used in battle, it was somewhat stretched thin.

The reason Li Zheng didn’t return immediately to finish things off was the worry of facing a counterattack from the divine power in such a situation, using up the last bit of Original Force.

"Then cut it up and let the flames roast it completely!" Li Zheng commanded the demon blade, but received no response.

The command was late, the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade was probably stuck in the divine power, taken beyond the distance of mind communication.

Li Zheng no longer hesitated, activated his physical strength, and quickly charged into the raging flames, sprinting along a straight path.

Maintaining the state of Extreme Isolation, while the fire wouldn’t harm him, it still obstructed his view.

Li Zheng released his spiritual power, focused it together, scanning ahead like a radar fan.

Just as he was about to leave the sea of flames, Li Zheng finally captured the tumbling divine power with his spiritual power, along with the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade stuck in it, only the hilt visible.

"This idiot! Knowing the divine power doesn’t live off blood, why the hell stab it?"

Li Zheng cursed inwardly; he entered the range of mental communication, scaring the demon blade into a trembling, pitifully saying: ’The blade is just equipment, without the master’s command, it can’t decide on its own.’

Li Zheng: ...

(Exasperated) You damn!!!

What kind of equipment communicates with players using mind intent like you do?

"Why are you still dawdling?"

Watching the divine power meatball suddenly accelerate, Li Zheng almost jumped in anger: "Get out and hack it!"

’Okay!’

The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade finally received the command and, in an instant, as it exited the range of mental communication again, emerged from the divine power meatball, slashing out several blood waves, cutting the divine power into irregular chunks, shattered all over the place, rolling out of the fire circle.

Li Zheng followed closely, scanning with spiritual power, noticing a layer of flames covering several chunks of divine power meat.

The newly attached flames were somehow different from those produced by the previous explosion, with signs of incompatibility, distinctly separate.

Li Zheng had a thought, trying to snap his fingers.

Snap!

The Genetic Force reduced to less than five points.

And those chunks of meat blew up one by one, becoming more shattered, quickly roasted by the high temperature into charcoal, while the explosion force flung the unsuspecting Bloodthirsty Demon Blade a yard away.

"Is this finally over?" Li Zheng diverted a bit of spiritual power to stimulate himself, ’squeezing’ twenty points of Genetic Force from his waist muscles to support his consumption.

More spiritual power fiercely locked onto those chunks of meat, "watching them" being thoroughly roasted into charcoal by the high temperature, dead beyond dead.

[Congratulations Player "Li Zheng" for leading the team...]

The kill announcement finally popped up, Li Zheng sighed in relief, his expression turning a bit odd.

’It’s over!’ The Bloodthirsty Demon Blade excitedly flew back into Li Zheng’s hand, gently vibrating and sending a mind intent flattering: "Master is awesome!"

"Flattery won’t work!" Li Zheng sternly shouted: "I’ll deal with you later!"

’Whimper, the blade is wronged~’ The demon blade vibrated slightly, receiving a knock from Li Zheng, obediently becoming quiet,

In the firelight, several blood patterns on the back of the Bloodthirsty Demon Blade had additional vine-like patterns in between.

Li Zheng’s current location was already equivalent to spanning the entire explosion area, deciding to exit from here, leisurely flew back to the small camp where Zhan Zhouzhou and others were waiting.

Everyone was relieved to see him coming back unscathed.

A life that could survive an explosion, they really worried Li Zheng would be ambushed when going back to finish things off.

Now it seemed, that worry was unnecessary.

Li Zheng was far more cautious than they were.

"Not bad, Old Li." Phoenix Mountain gave a thumbs up and praised: "The mutated creature this time should have been at the peak of the Star Shining Level, right? Yet you managed to handle it alone."

"With such strength, going into the Outer City, you should be able to protect yourself, right?"

Upon hearing this, images of two mysterious figures flashed before Li Zheng’s eyes; he shook his head solemnly: "Still far from it!"

"The water in the Outer City is very deep, with my current strength, I might not even be considered a minion."

The last encounter with a mysterious cloaked figure during a doctor’s task left even the current Li Zheng deeply alarmed.

Such an existence, if intent on killing me, probably only needed one hand to do so...

"There are still two more mutated creatures."

Zhan Zhouzhou, leaving the combat alert state, her cold demeanor disappeared, reverting to the ’somewhat aloof but generally approachable’ look, came over and said: "For the next two battles, I’ll fully assist you from the side to try to minimize risks."

Li Zheng looked at her seriously, nodding: "Alright."

Zhan Zhouzhou suddenly tilted her head, puzzled: "Why hasn’t your bald look changed at all this time?"

"Addicted to being bald?"

Li Zheng: ???
