Chapter 100

Zhao Zifang lunged forward but missed, raising his head to see Chu Nan continuously ascending towards the ghost ship. His eyes couldn't help but show some hesitation.

The eerie and terrifying ghost ship made even him shudder. Chu Nan clearly saw through his thoughts and was preparing to escape to the ghost ship to avoid him.

Biting his lip, Zhao Zifang instantly made up his mind. Without killing Chu Nan and Wu De and the others, he wouldn't be able to break through to a higher level, and he would have no way out. Since that was the case, he might as well take a chance.

After thinking it through, he leaped up, grabbed the iron chain hanging from the side of the ship, and used his hands and feet to climb up after Chu Nan, who was ascending using spider silk.

As for why Chu Nan was still carrying Han Yushu's corpse, even Zhao Zifang didn't understand the reason.

Chu Nan was carrying Han Yushu's corpse to get the pineal gland in her brain.

From entering the underground fissure and fighting all the way to now, Chu Nan had almost forgotten about the pineal gland. Of course, in reality, he had no time or opportunity to extract the pineal gland from the numerous corpses to help himself break through. Moreover, with so many people around, even if he had the chance, taking out the magnifying glass would easily expose this secret.

It wasn't until Zhao Zifang killed He Zhiwen that Chu Nan suddenly woke up. The situation was perilous, and death could come at any moment. At this point, he didn't care about whether the secret of the magnifying glass would be revealed.

So, without hesitation, he grabbed Han Yushu's corpse, using spider silk to rush towards the ghost ship while simultaneously searching for the pineal gland in her brain.

Chu Nan had extracted pineal glands from human brains countless times, so familiar with the process that he could do it with his eyes closed. As long as he reached into the brain, he could grab it.

In a short time, Chu Nan had already brought Han Yushu up to the side of the ghost ship. Zhao Zifang roared and instantly caught up, his large tendons like snakes lunging at Chu Nan.

One had just evolved to the level of a sixth-level Awakened, with his physical strength restored to its peak and all old injuries healed. The other had just been hit by the centipede dragon and was already severely injured. Any movement caused his injuries to flare up, causing intense pain, and his physical strength, speed, reaction, and power had all drastically declined. Now, Chu Nan's strength was less than 20% of what it was before.

This was why Zhao Zifang dared to attack Chu Nan.

Just as the tendons were about to wrap around Chu Nan, he suddenly shook his spider claws, and all the spider silk broke, causing him to fall straight down from above.

All the tendons wrapped around nothing, and Zhao Zifang cursed, quickly following Chu Nan down.

Chu Nan and Han Yushu's corpse hit the ground hard. He rolled away, abandoning Han Yushu's corpse because in that instant, he had successfully extracted the pineal gland from her body.

However, extracting the pineal gland was one thing; taking out the magnifying glass, charging it with origin force, and absorbing it still required some time.

From all directions, a swarm of skeleton monsters had already rushed over, and behind them, the powerful centipede dragon guarded the area, not just slaughtering everyone but also blocking anyone from advancing to seize the Life Stele.

Qin Mu, with his left arm severed, barely managed to stand up, letting out a roar, and using his vulture claw to barely snap a skeleton's neck. His body swayed, and he could no longer support himself.

Now, out of the fifteen Awakened who had reached or exceeded the fifth level, only Qin Mu, Chu Nan, Wu De, and Zhao Zifang were left alive.

Including the others who were still alive, there were only about sixty people, while the skeleton monsters surrounded them from all directions.

Everyone was in despair.

Only a madman like Zhao Zifang still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. He hoped to kill all the other companions, break through again, and become even stronger, perhaps giving him a chance.

Zhao Zifang charged at Chu Nan, taking advantage of his severe injuries, determined to kill him. Otherwise, if Chu Nan had a chance to rest and recover some strength, it would be much harder to kill him.

A sixth-level Awakened, Zhao Zifang knew, had various recovery abilities and wound healing capabilities several times stronger than a normal person. He wouldn't give Chu Nan that time.

As for Wu De and Qin Mu, they were only fifth-level Awakened, and he could kill them later.

Chu Nan, severely injured, was far slower than Zhao Zifang.

When Zhao Zifang landed, he sprang up like an arrow, quickly catching up to Chu Nan.

The tendons, like snakes, lunged at Chu Nan.

Chu Nan almost immediately stopped, pivoting on his left foot and swinging the Dragon Legacy Flash with his right hand.

A crescent-shaped light flashed, aiming to slice Zhao Zifang horizontally.

Zhao Zifang laughed fiercely.

Chu Nan's Dragon Legacy Flash was something Zhao Zifang had anticipated, so he wasn't surprised. With Chu Nan severely injured, his speed was much slower in Zhao Zifang's eyes, and he wasn't afraid.

Ducking, Zhao Zifang instantly avoided the Dragon Legacy Flash. The tendons lunged out, wrapping around Chu Nan's legs and pulling him down.

Chu Nan was pulled down hard, and almost simultaneously, his Golden Leg snapped shut.

The Golden Force erupted, unstoppable, and Zhao Zifang grunted, being knocked down by Chu Nan's legs.

On the ground, Zhao Zifang's tendons lashed out, trying to attack Chu Nan. Suddenly, he noticed that from all directions, a group of skeleton monsters were slashing at both of them with bayonets.

Chu Nan had fled directly into a group of skeleton monsters, effectively leading Zhao Zifang into the same group. Both of them fell to the ground, and a group of skeleton monsters with bayonets mercilessly tried to chop them into pieces.

"Damn it!" Zhao Zifang roared, too busy to attack Chu Nan. Instead, he extended his tendons, which were tougher than steel wire, to block the bayonets. Even the bayonets aimed at Chu Nan, he blocked.

If Chu Nan were killed by the skeleton monsters, his hope of killing Chu Nan and absorbing his origin force would be shattered.

The tendons vibrated, repelling the bayonets. Zhao Zifang roared, flipped up, and the fallen Chu Nan also got up. Skeleton monsters surrounded them from all directions, heavily encircling them.

Zhao Zifang, regardless of everything, charged at Chu Nan like a madman.

Chu Nan, looking at him, had to admit that under his current severe injuries, Zhao Zifang was indeed stronger than him.

However, as Zhao Zifang lunged at him, Chu Nan shook his head, suddenly pulling in the spider claw in his left hand, and his body flew out horizontally.

The sudden move surprised Zhao Zifang, who didn't know what was happening. Looking up, he saw Chu Nan flying horizontally at an odd angle, instantly reaching the side of the ghost ship, as if sticking to it.

This sudden move stunned Zhao Zifang. When he reacted, he wanted to chase after Chu Nan, but skeleton monsters attacked him from all directions.

Zhao Zifang roared in anger, unable to break through the skeleton monsters' encirclement for a moment.

It turned out that when Chu Nan fell from the side of the ghost ship earlier, his left hand's spider claw had been quietly releasing spider silk.

The spider silk was semi-transparent and extremely tough, almost invisible in the thick fog. One end of the silk was attached to the ghost ship. He intentionally led Zhao Zifang while fleeing and releasing spider silk. When he led Zhao Zifang into a group of skeleton monsters, he suddenly pulled the spider silk, causing him to fly horizontally and return to the side of the ghost ship.

The ship was too strange, and Chu Nan didn't dare to board it again. So, he only relied on the spider silk to stick to the side of the ship and then took out the magnifying glass without hesitation, starting to charge the pineal gland belonging to Han Yushu with origin force.

The thick fog rolled, and everyone was fighting desperately. Any slack could mean death, so no one could spare the attention to see what Chu Nan was doing far away on the ghost ship.

Only Zhao Zifang was roaring in anger, finally kicking away three skeleton monsters and charging out of their encirclement like an arrow, heading towards the ghost ship again.

He was determined to kill Chu Nan first. He feared that if he delayed, Chu Nan's strength would gradually recover, and with the Dragon Legacy Flash, he would have no advantage in a confrontation.

Watching Zhao Zifang break through the skeleton monsters' encirclement, watching him reach the ghost ship and start climbing up using the iron chain to chase after him.

Chu Nan, hanging on the side of the ghost ship, remained unmoved, even watching from above, feeling a sense of detachment.

He could even feel the weakening attack power of the skeleton monsters from all directions, at least not as terrifying and fierce as before.

Finally, Zhao Zifang caught up below him, his tendons flying and lunging at him.

Chu Nan sighed slightly, his body moving, and he jumped out into the air.

During the jump, the pineal gland was fully charged with origin force and crushed by him.

With a loud boom, the wild genetic origin force surged into Chu Nan's body.

Chu Nan had long reached the peak of the sixth level in the underground fissure. However, even after continuously absorbing origin force, he couldn't break through that boundary. But that boundary was already on the verge of breaking. With the absorption of the origin force from the fifth-level Awakened Han Yushu's pineal gland, a loud boom echoed in Chu Nan's mind, and the last boundary of the sixth-level peak shattered.
