Boom!

  A violent surge of energy exploded somewhere in the withered forest, sweeping away the trunks of several large trees and sending Li Luo's figure flying out in disarray.

  A shadow flashed behind Li Luo's back, and Xin Fu slapped his palm on Li Luo's back, helping him to dissipate the impact force, and then the two of them fell down.

  Sigh.

  Li Luo let out a heavy sigh, his gaze fixed on the central battlefield ahead. There, he saw a withered tree slowly disintegrating. The tree was extremely eerie, clearly a tree, but on its trunk grew two enormous human hands.

  Obviously, this is also an outcast.

  This unusual creature was extremely cunning, standing quietly there, completely resembling a normal withered tree. Although Li Luo and the other two had opened the way with illusions, they were endured by it until the three of them passed by in person, at which point it suddenly burst forth and launched an attack.

  This brought great danger to Li Luo and the three of them.

  In just a few short breaths, all three of them were covered in bruises.

  Fortunately, this withered tree-like creature seemed to have an attack range, which allowed the three of them to catch their breath and start devising a battle plan to gradually wear it down.

  Bai Mengmeng carefully picked up the remaining evil thoughts of the tree demon, and then slightly frowned as she looked at her slender arm, where there was a black scar.

  There is a mysterious power surging from the wound into the heart, making people feel annoyed.

  Li Luo quickly walked over, grabbed Bai Mengmeng's wrist, and with a concentrated force in his fingertips, a drop of energy liquid containing healing power condensed and fell onto Bai Mengmeng's wound.

  Hehe!

  A faint black smoke rose, vaguely as if a piercing and mournful sound had been transmitted, and then the wound on Bai Mengmeng's arm began to heal gradually, and after a moment, it was restored to its original state.

  Bai Mengmeng was overjoyed, touched her still smooth and delicate skin, then smiled sweetly at Li Luo: "Thank you, Captain!"

  For girls, having smooth and perfect skin is a very important thing. Li Luo's treatment was truly delightful.

  "Captain, I'll have some too."

  A dark arm also stretched out, and Xin Fu looked at Li Luo with expectant eyes.

  Li Luo's bright smile on his face stiffened for a moment, and then he said with a heavy heart: "Xin Fu, scars are a man's medal of honor. This little pain is also a test of our willpower. If you can't even bear this, what are we doing in the dark dungeon?"

  Xin Fu was also lost in thought by the captain's reasonable words, although he felt a bit wrong, but ultimately could only nod and say, "Captain, what you said makes some sense."

  Li Luo's face showed relief, and he secretly let out a sigh of relief. This treatment energy was very consuming for him, after all. Bai Mengmeng was just a girl, so it was only right to take care of her a bit. If the two men were to treat their minor injuries, that would be too extravagant. After all, the purification tower had not been activated yet.

  It's exhausting, how can it be so draining!

  "Cough, we've cleared four white-rank aberrants on this road, right?" Li Luo opened the conversation and said.

  Xin Fu and Bai Mengmeng nodded.

  "Judging from the direction and distance traveled, it's possible that there is only one last area left." Bai Mengmeng estimated and pointed to the right side.

  Li Luo gazed in that direction, his face slightly frozen. That direction was a place he had been avoiding all along, because the black fog there was even thicker. There, he sensed an air of danger.

  Obviously, the most powerful heterotype in this withered forest should be over there.

  The four heterotypes they had encountered before were all considered to be of the White Corrosion level, but strictly speaking, they could only be considered ordinary strength within the White Corrosion level.

  Even if it's just an ordinary white cicada, its strength is comparable to that of the second strongest cicada in the Cicada Segment.

  If those outsiders are stronger than this level, then it's third or even fourth rank... That's quite a handful.

  Xin Fu and Bai Mengmeng didn't say a word, but their expressions became much more solemn, it was clear that they both understood, the alien in that direction would be the biggest obstacle to activating the Purification Tower.

  "Go take a look first."

  After a brief moment of contemplation, Li Luo no longer hesitated and said resolutely.

  If possible, first probe into the details and intelligence of that unusual creature.

  Xin Fu, Bai Mengmeng and the others had no objections, and then the three of them carefully approached in that direction with three illusions as bait.

  All the way through the dark fog, but what made the three people somewhat surprised was that they didn't encounter any strange creatures.

  The anomaly in this area seems to have vanished into thin air.

  "It doesn't feel right, those places before had some low-level anomalies at least, but here it's clean as if it's been purified." Li Luo said in a low voice.

  Xin Fu, Bai Mengmeng also furrowed her brow.

  Bang!

  Just as the three of them were perplexed, a fierce and sinister aura suddenly surged in the distant black fog, as if there was a loud crashing sound.

  Li Luo and three others exchanged a glance, joined forces, shielded their bodies, and cautiously faced the approaching figures.

  As it approached, the black fog in front of me gradually dispersed.

  Li Luo and the other two saw clearly what was happening in front of them, and their pupils immediately contracted slightly.

  All that can be seen is the empty space in the woods, littered with debris, as if a great battle had taken place.

  At this time, a bloody monster was roaring in the field, its whole body exposed with bright red flesh, the flesh wriggling and forming ugly tentacles.

  However, on this flesh-and-blood body, some grayish-white chains were wrapped around it, binding it tightly, no matter how it roared and struggled, it was impossible to break free.

  Li Luo and three others stared in shock

  (To be continued, please turn the page)

  This time, those flesh and blood mutants were even stronger than the ones they had encountered before. They must have reached the third stripe of the birthmark stage.

  But now it seems like something is wrong with it?

  "What's going on?" Bai Mengmeng asked in a low voice.

  Li Luo's gaze was fixed intently on a certain place where the black fog was surging violently, and he said, "It's an internal struggle among the heterodox."

  Xin Fu, Bai Mengmeng was slightly surprised, it turned out that these aliens would also fight and kill each other.

  But in their astonishment, the black fog in that place grew thicker and thicker. Finally, Li Luo and the others were shocked to see a white human skin slowly floating out of the black fog.

  His skin was deathly pale, and on his face, there were two eyes constantly wandering.

  Above the human skin, a grayish-white airflow rises, and its strength should be on par with that of the blood-fleshed alien.

  Nor did I know what means it had employed to trap this flesh-and-blood monster.

  Li, Luo and San didn't dare to make a sound, while under their gaze, the pale-skinned alien creature floated in, with an eerie, muffled howling sound faintly audible.

  Suddenly, the human skin-like creature swooped down, constantly expanding, as if it had turned into a piece of human skin paper, instantly wrapping up that bloody creature inside.

  Rumble!

  Under the pale skin, bursts of vibration and shrill whistles kept erupting, and lumps of flesh swelled up from under the skin, but never managed to burst through.

  It's clear that the person with a different skin wants to swallow up the flesh of another kind.

  Li Luo and the other two stared at this scene of mutual slaughter between these alien creatures, their eerie and terrifying appearance making people's hair stand on end.

  However, the struggle between the two sides still had the human skin heteromorphs gaining the upper hand. The internal resistance within the human skin was gradually weakening, and a pale tentacle was slowly growing out of the human skin heteromorph.

  In the dim light, a thread of crimson-colored gas floated out from the surface of that person's skin.

  "Its strength is gradually increasing, and it may eventually reach the level of the fourth or even fifth stripe of the Birthmark Segment." Xīn Fú's voice became solemn.

  "Why don't we take this opportunity to launch a surprise attack on it?" Bai Mengmeng also suggested.

  Li Luochuan hesitated for a while and finally did not agree with the proposal, because he felt that if they launched a surprise attack at this time, although it would cause some trouble to the human-skinned aliens, in the end they might not be able to gain much benefit.

  "No rush, this human-skinned alien needs some time to absorb that fleshed alien..."

  "We'll take advantage of this opportunity to go and activate the Purification Tower first. If it can't come to disturb us because it's absorbing the flesh of the Blood Demons, that would be best. Once the Purification Tower is activated, it will directly suppress them."

  "If it still arrived..."

  Li Luo's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze becoming somewhat sharp.

  "Then we can also make some preparations in advance."
