(Today is busier, the first update is late, please forgive me. There will be a second chapter update in the evening, I'm asking for recommendations. Also, thank you to everyone who has supported me~~)
These four arms, apart from the two that grew naturally, the other two under the armpits were clearly sewn on later. However, their power was immense, even surpassing the strength of the two naturally grown arms.
These two sewn-on arms came in various types, including normal human arms, hairy ape arms, and even the claws of various fierce beasts.
"These humans look like they've been transformed into monsters. What kind of place is this?" Chu Nan watched, drawing a sharp breath. He saw a decaying monster with a black chimpanzee arm under its armpit grab a man by the neck and twist it, breaking it with a crack.
The man, in his final moments, plunged his weapon deep into the chest of the modified human monster with the two extra black chimpanzee arms.
However, the human monster, with its chest pierced, did not care and immediately pounced on another person.
The situation became increasingly chaotic. A dozen fifth-level Awakened gathered together and fought their way forward. The two-headed creatures could not stop them, and they quickly carved a bloody path through.
They no longer cared about the lives of others. Now, monsters surrounded them from all sides, leaving them no way to retreat. Their only hope was to fight their way to the end of the crack and seize the Life Stele.
Everyone had underestimated the terror below the earth's crack and overestimated their team. Without proper training, the six hundred people were like a disorganized mob when faced with real danger, unable to function as a team.
Killing these deformed monsters yielded very little genetic power, but it was better than the skeleton monsters, which provided no genetic power at all when killed.
The attacks from the skeleton monsters grew more intense, and the terrifying rustling sounds came from all sides of the thick fog. In the chaos, the people had no idea how many monsters were hidden in the fog. The only feeling was that no matter where they rushed, they would be attacked by various monsters.
There were skeleton monsters, decaying two-headed creatures, four-armed humans, and even four-legged crawling humans—various half-human, half-animal deformed creatures that emerged from the fog, densely packed, all kinds of monsters.
The fog was filled with shouts and screams, each scream representing another person being killed.
Many people, in this despair, finally woke up from the allure of the Life Stele and began to regret following the crowd into the earth's crack for the sake of the Life Stele.
Originally, if they had not been greedy, they could have avoided entering this place and would not have encountered these monsters.
But now, it was too late to regret.
Some people tried to turn back, but the fog behind them was filled with skeleton monsters. Turning back meant rushing into the army of skeleton monsters, leading to a quicker death.
Chu Nan was drenched in cold sweat, understanding the crisis they faced.
Qin Mu roared repeatedly, his right hand's vulture claw swinging out. The "vulture gene" power within the vulture claw had been activated, allowing the claws to automatically contract or extend. Each time he struck, he could tear a large hole in the enemy's body, flesh and all.
Wang Zhi, Zhao Xi, Han Yushu, Fang Xiaobo, Yang Zheng, He Zhiwen, and Chu Nan gathered together. Except for Chu Nan, the others were all fifth-level Awakened. There were no sixth-level Awakened in the team, as breaking through from fifth to sixth level was a significant hurdle.
These people, gathered together, had a strong offensive power, like a sharp blade, quickly breaking through the group of two-headed creatures and charging forward.
Among these fifth-level Awakened, the only woman, Han Yushu, finally revealed her genetic power. Dense, needle-like flesh spines grew from her palms, similar to the stingers of venomous bees. Once these spines pierced a human, they could release a terrifying venom.
Her true method of killing was not the power of the spines but the injection of the terrifying bee venom through the spines.
"Venomous Bee Gene" was her fifth-level Awakened power.
A two-headed creature pounced at her, and she swung her hand. The decaying face immediately showed numerous blood holes, and the creature flew sideways.
It fell heavily and tried to get up, but suddenly felt a numbing, painful itch on its face. Black liquid began to flow from the blood holes, and its already decaying skin quickly turned black, being invaded by the venom and melting away in large chunks.
This bee venom was extremely potent; if a normal human were hit by Han Yushu, they would die instantly.
As they continued to charge forward, the closer they got to the bottom of the earth, the clearer they could sense the presence of the Life Stele.
When Qin Mu killed another two-headed creature, the group's attacks suddenly paused. Then, someone let out a mad cry, and these fifth-level Awakened charged forward like madmen.
For the first time, they clearly sensed the exact location of the Life Stele, which had called them here, exerting a fatal allure on each of them.
Everyone's eyes turned red, including Chu Nan, who suddenly accelerated and charged forward like lightning.
Seize the Life Stele.
At this moment, everyone had only one thought.
"Roar—"
Suddenly, a terrifying roar came from the fog ahead, followed by a loud thud as a massive tail swept over.
Caught off guard, the tail moved so quickly that Chu Nan, who was leading the charge, barely managed to roll and avoid it. However, Zhao Xi, Qin Mu, He Zhiwen, and the others following him were unable to avoid it.
A series of screams echoed as Qin Mu, Zhao Xi, He Zhiwen, and others were thrown back, spitting blood. The worst off was a middle-aged man, about forty years old.
He was also a fifth-level Awakened and one of the fifteen leaders. The massive tail struck him head-on, and his head and upper body instantly turned into a bloody mess. He died before he could even activate his genetic power.
This was the first death among the fifteen leaders since entering the earth's crack.
Reaching fifth-level Awakened, with awakened genetic power, five times the physical strength of a normal person, and considerable combat experience, it was not easy to die even in the most dangerous environments. Therefore, this middle-aged man was the first fifth-level Awakened to die in the chaos.
Chu Nan, who had narrowly avoided the attack, rolled and got up, only to see a terrifying roar coming from the fog ahead as a massive monster emerged.
This was an even more bizarre and deformed monster.
It had a giant tail like a crocodile, but nine completely different human heads were sewn onto it.
These heads included infants, young people, old people, men, and women, representing various age groups and types of humans, all sewn onto the giant crocodile-like body.
The giant crocodile's body was also sewn with human arms and legs, making it look like a centipede with human legs, moving swiftly on the ground. The nine heads could move and make sounds.
The crocodile's back was also pierced with many metal tubes, seemingly connected to various organs inside. In short, it was a giant, deformed monster pieced together from a giant crocodile and many humans.
Everyone who saw this deformed monster emerging from the fog drew a sharp breath.
The nine mouths of the monster let out terrifying, piercing roars, and its limbs moved with unimaginable speed, charging forward.
"Quick, get out of the way—"
Qin Mu, who had just gotten up and spat out a mouthful of blood, shouted. However, the monster's tail struck the ground, and with a loud crack, it leaped into the air, landing on one of the people.
The person let out a scream, trying to counterattack, but was grabbed by the monster's sewn-on arms and torn apart, dismembered.
Another person was killed, and Chu Nan and the others drew a sharp breath. Yang Zheng shouted, "Protect me, I'll burn it!" He took out a lighter, pursed his lips, and began to spray a mist of fat.
Fang Xiaobo, He Zhiwen, and others retreated to Yang Zheng's side.
Yang Zheng's mist of fat, when ignited by the lighter, turned into a raging flame, like a giant fire dragon, charging at the deformed monster.
However, at this moment, something terrifying happened.
The deformed monster, using all its limbs, moved swiftly on the ground, darting forward at an unimaginable speed.
Yang Zheng's fire dragon missed its target.
The next moment, a scream echoed.
Another of the fifteen leaders was pounced on by the monster.
This fifth-level Awakened had the Sound Wave Gene, which was very powerful. He could attack with sound waves by creating special vibrations with his roar, making it difficult to defend against.
He had just opened his mouth, preparing to use sound waves to attack the deformed monster in coordination with Yang Zheng, but he never expected the monster to move so fast.
Because he had the Sound Wave Gene, his reaction and agility were relatively average. By the time the deformed monster reached him, it was too late to dodge.
With a "bang," the deformed monster collided with him, pushing him back against a large rock.
