Chapter 618 - Bubble Messenger (1/2)
Even though the Vortex’s size had already become only one-tenth of its original size, its cellular activity had been largely reduced, and its speed when squirming and stretching was also much slower, but Meng Chao and the other two had also run out of fuel.
There was no need to even mention A’Ji and Lu Siya. Their bones and tendons were broken, and they were covered in injuries. Even if they struggled for a long time, they could not climb up.
The spirit meridians in Meng Chao’s body were also in a cooldown state because they had been overworking themselves to use Divine Nine Dragon Seals. They could not create any spirit energy magnetic fields for the time being.
Each muscle fiber hurt as if it was poked by ten thousand burning steel needles.
His dragon meridian-bound spine also felt like it was twisted by a merciless, metal hand. Each vertebrae twisted one hundred eighty degrees.
He could not dodge in time and could only watch the Vortex crawl on him.
His nano fighting suit had long since been sliced apart by sharp claws and burned by spirit flames.
His skin was also covered in lacerations created by his spirit energy surging, his blood vessels protruding on his skin, and his muscles bulging.
In its transparent form, the Vortex easily invaded Meng Chao’s body through his bloody wounds.
It screeched and extended thousands of spider thread-like tentacles from its liquid body and wrapped them tightly around Meng Chao’s blood vessels, nerves, and bones.
Meng Chao was in so much pain that he nearly fainted.
But he gnashed his teeth together and crushed them so that his incredibly sensitive teeth nerves would be exposed to the air. He was using pain to make himself stay awake.
He reached out to yank the transparent liquid off his body, but the Vortex was like the strongest glue ever to be made. It stuck to his flesh and even bones.
When he tugged at it, he nearly yanked off his own bones, and it hurt so much that he saw stars. He could not even scream in pain.
Knowing that he could not yank the Vortex off his body, Meng Chao could only bring out the chain saber that was around his waist to cut off the entire piece of flesh that had been invaded by the transparent liquid.
But the final bits of brutality in the Vortex also showed up. Its invisible tentacles invaded Meng Chao’s blood vessels and bones, then took over his right thigh and lower body. Now, it was aiming for his organs.
Even if Meng Chao made a firm decision and cut off his entire right thigh, he could not solve the problem.
Unless he cut off his lower body as well…
Meng Chao shuddered.
He would rather die together with the Vortex.
“Meng Chao!”
Lu Siya and A’Ji screamed in despair.
Both of them saw the transparent liquid crawl into Meng Chao’s body through his wounds and only a tail end swing outside like a fat leech.
Once the Vortex completely entered Meng Chao’s body, it would occupy Meng Chao’s body just like how it took ownership of Xiong Ying and the Broken Claw Dragon.
Unless they threw Meng Chao into a volcano, it would be impossible to completely destroy this terrifying monster.
The problem was, even if Meng Chao was willing to sacrifice himself, after the Vortex ate so much Hell’s Blood, it would definitely be able to recover faster than Lu Siya and A’Ji.
At that time, no one would be able to kill it.
Once it ate Meng Chao’s brain, killed A’Ji as well as Lu Siya, ate all the materials in the secret lab and read all the data, then walked out with Meng Chao’s face, it could create a crazy story for the gangs and the abnormal beast research department.
The lair, no, Dragon City, would then meet the apocalypse in advance.
“I… won’t… let… you… win…”
Meng Chao’s face turned red because of how much he was trying to regain control. His neck also became three times thicker than usual.
He gave up on yanking the Vortex off. While he could still control his hands, he groped around for some other fire-type material or crystals to burn the Vortex to death.
The Vortex had already taken control of part of his nerves and discovered his intentions. Its screeches became even shriller as it tried to seize control of Meng Chao’s arms.
Meng Chao straightened his left arm and spread his fingers wide open. His knuckles popped, and he reached for a can of Flaming Griffin’s bone powder that was only a few centimeters away.
But his right hand struck the can away and sent the Flaming Griffin’s bone powder five meters away. It landed under the shelf in a corner.
The left side of Meng Chao’s body was now fighting against his right. He rolled around on the floor.
He groped around for a long time, but did not manage to grab onto a powerful incendiary agent to deal the deciding blow.
But at the last moment, he grabbed something cold and hard.
‘This is…’
Meng Chao’s eyeballs bulged up. He looked at his shivering left hand. It held a bottle of blue medicine.
It was Hell’s Blood 7, which had the greatest amount of spirit energy, but was also the most violent and dangerous. Its effects would be the combination of the six gene medicines before it.
The super gene medicine bottle was the size of a baby’s arm, yet it had more than one hundred Hell Beasts’ blood and essence in it. When Meng Chao and the Vortex’s vitality magnetic fields clashed madly, it gurgled as if it was boiling, making it seem like it had more than one hundred Hell Beasts’ souls sealed inside!
This fierce gene medicine was something that even Saber Jin Wanhao would not dare to inject directly into his body.
But Meng Chao did not have a better choice.
At that moment, the Vortex had already wrapped itself around his legs, stomach, and right arm.
All he had left in his control were his brain and left arm.
And thousands of threads from that transparent liquid were eagerly crawling to his face, trying to invade his brain through his orifices and control his cerebral cortex and central nervous system.
‘I have no choice!
‘Vortex, you like eating this really fierce super gene medicine, right?!
‘Then, drink to your heart’s content!’
