Lu Zhengkang looked at the insect eggs on his hand with pity and compassion. This child was born at the wrong time, unexpectedly on the eve of the complete rupture of the radiation seal. His weak will was directly immersed in the plague, and the infection had penetrated into his blood.
Fortunately, his innocent nature has not fallen into madness. As long as the radiation dies and the plague subsides, he can return to normal.
Lu Zhengkang said to Nati Erchong: "Now a plague has broken out outside. Please put on your mask quickly. Don't worry, everything will be fine. I will put this child in a safe place."
Nati silently put his four-hole mask on his face and began to form a cocoon. Paya put away her tears and showed the tenacious character of a little bug. "Little guy, I leave everything to you." After saying that, he also put it on.
mask.
The weaver larvae were busy, helping to comb the silk threads, and then these little guys hoisted two large cocoons to the ceiling.
Lu Zhengkang went out and pressed his hands against the outer wall of the round house. Pure white soul energy surged out and condensed into a seal, protecting the inside and outside of the small house impregnably.
This sealing spell was learned during his transformation. The weaver's knowledge recorded in the deep silk threads was released when the cocoon was formed, absorbed by Lu Zhengkang, and turned into some kind of talent.
The mask brought many changes to Lu Zhengkang.
In appearance he once again returned to his normal blue color instead of white filled with soul energy.
His two bone nails dissolved in the cocoon, instilling Lu Zhengkang's fighting spirit, and formed together with Lu Zhengkang's body, becoming a single nail.
The soul energy is contracted into the dream and is no longer scattered. The mask serves as a relay. Now the soul energy used by Lu Zhengkang is extracted from the mask. There are two ways to replenish the energy of the mask. One is to absorb the energy in his own dream.
Quick addition, one is that after Lu Zhengkang hits the enemy, the mask will absorb the dissipated soul energy.
With the buffer of the mask, Lu Zhengkang has a stronger binding force on the soul energy. He does not have to worry about the mistakes and stupidities in the soul sanctuary due to overuse. Now he can safely devour the wandering Can Meng. This is
Great news.
The mask can also store spells, allowing Lu Zhengkang to quickly cast spells, including teleportation, light blades, seals, energy balls, etc. The only drawback is that the mask does not store much energy, making the spell casting gap a bit long.
In addition to the seal, the mask gives Lu Zhengkang the ability to gather energy, which means he can use energy to recover his injuries quickly and effectively, turning him into a perpetual motion machine for war.
After taking stock of the changes in his body, Lu Zhengkang's next plan was to go to Ditmouth on the surface.
Before setting off, take inventory of your belongings, including a cloak, a lantern, a handful of bone nails, a bag, some gios, two amulets, a grappling hook, a crossbow, and a buckler.
Many things on his body were not melted. In fact, only the bone nails dissolved with him. This is also a mystery. Are the bone nails also living creatures?
Lu Zhengkang gently rubbed his bone nail. It was a weapon that was unique to him. The surface pattern was very unique, and it looked similar to a mask. There were many large patches, like a stone beach washed by a river, with flowing patterns mixed with block patterns.
The sword body has a delicate texture and the reflection is as bright as a mirror.
The more Lu Zhengkang looked at it, the more he liked it. He waved it gently, as if he was holding a bright moon in the dim light of the underground world.
Finally, after confirming the tightness of the seal of the hut, Lu Zhengkang took the egg, held it carefully in his arms, and set off.
Encountered unusual and terrifying enemies on the road.
A faintly translucent swollen bulge bulged out from Gruz's abdomen, dripping with high-temperature thick slurry. They flew around, and the thick slurry was like a rain of hellfire, making the area where they were extremely dangerous. These unstable Gruz
Now, it will explode after death.
The counter-attack fly becomes huge, speeds up, and its power surges. It is very threatening, and the explosion range is very large after death.
The resurrected bodies will spit out thick slurry, and some will rush towards them like self-destructing trucks, exploding when they get close, and their destructive power is astonishing.
If you don't stay vigilant at the infected crossroads, you will definitely be disgraced by a sudden attack.
The sudden changes in the environment here made Lu Zhengkang extremely uncomfortable. Those disgusting thick slurry bubbles accumulated into walls and blocked the road. Once broken, they would surge and flood, making people avoid rats.
The Black Egg Temple is right at the crossroads, so the situation here is indeed the most critical in Hallownest, and the closer you get to Hallownest, the stronger the will will be, and the more terrifying the symptoms of the plague will be.
Lu Zhengkang simply couldn't stand the weird smell and abnormal temperature. He made up his mind to wait until the two nati bugs emerged from their cocoons and then take them to other places, such as the Mantis Village, such as the Queen's Garden. In short, he could not stay until the decisive battle.
.
Worrying all the way, Lu Zhengkang acted cautiously. When he saw an enemy from a distance, he would just throw a lightsaber at him and kill him.
Many roads were blocked by thick slurry, and Lu Zhengkang was constantly changing his path. When he encountered a fork in the road, many Mother Aspidids were wandering freely. This sad and cruel creature has a bulging belly, filled with Aspids.
When a young Spider encounters an enemy, the mother of the Aspid will not hesitate to give birth to her young and let them deal with the enemy. To be honest, these degraded Aspids are the same as the original Aspids on the edge of the kingdom.
They cannot be compared to each other, and no matter how many there are, they cannot pose a threat.
Continuing to move forward, Lu Zhengkang passed the station and was about to take the Staghorn directly to Dirtmouth. Suddenly he remembered that there was a good thing nearby that he could pick up, so he turned into a side road.
Along the way, there was a huge infected bug corpse lying on the ground. This was the body guard, known as Brother Long Ya in the world, and the King of Persuasion. It was the resurrected body of the large Hallownest crossroad guard. Now it could not stand upright, and its body was covered with blood vessels.
of orange veins.
Further forward, I saw a huge empty armor. This was the armor of Hegmo, one of the five knights. The statue of this knight was the one outside the gate of the City of Tears. Now he is dead and his armor is destroyed.
A maggot takes over and turns into a false knight.
Lu Zhengkang patted the armor, sighed with emotion, and then returned to the body of Brother Long Ya and began to search for the secret passage.
The secret passage was at the upper edge of the passage. Lu Zhengkang tried it, and the ceiling broke somewhere, revealing a wide road.
Entering it, there are spike traps all over this place. It is not easy to walk under normal circumstances. The deer can fly and naturally passes through smoothly, and then comes to a nest.
There are Aspids everywhere. Aspid Hunters, Mothers of Aspids, they thrive here.
After killing the Aspid blocking the way, go deep into the lair.
Later, Lu Zhengkang found a huge corpse of Mother Aspidus in a high cave, and a talisman fell next to the corpse. It seemed that the pure thoughts of the corpse were condensed into the talisman.
This talisman looks like an abstract Aspidus mother, and its name is Luminous Womb. It requires two talisman slots. Its effect is to absorb the soul energy of the wearer to produce cubs, which will sacrifice themselves to protect their parents.
Lu Zhengkang himself was unwilling to use this amulet, but he did not throw it away. He carefully put it away and placed it with the Gruz amulet.
