Chapter 41 S-Rank Rating

After rushing out of the safe zone, Cao Yu immediately ran into several tentacles wielded by the symbiote.

At this point, the actions of the symbiotic skeletons attacking players are not entirely due to their desire for genes and flesh.

The player destroyed its perfect form, causing it to degenerate from a "city life" to its current weak state... Even as a monster with chaotic consciousness, it still has the instinct to be angry.

The tip was equipped with lamprey mouthparts, and its 13 large yet flexible tentacles coiled towards Cao Yu.

Cao Yu leaped into the air, then nimbly spun his body, performing a series of somersaults, transforming himself into a spinning sword that slashed at all the tentacles dancing in front of him.

He activated the "Immortal Slaying Curse" and the "Eternal Wound Curse" simultaneously, and in the blink of an eye, he cleaved off 13 tentacles in succession.

The symbiote, in pain, discovered that its tentacles could not heal themselves, and its mouthparts emitted a shrill and ferocious howl.

Its cry created a visible shockwave that struck Cao Yu, but was split in two and blasted to the sides.

At this moment, Cao Yu had already approached the bottom of the spherical body of the co-existing remains.

the other side.

An Li had already manipulated the props, launching the werewolf corpse puppet into the air, where it landed on the massive body of the colossus.

She herself hid in the safe zone and remotely controlled the corpse puppet.

The swift werewolf corpse puppet moved nimbly, dodging attacks from the mouths while stretching out its arms and constantly waving its claws. Each swing condensed a crescent-shaped blade of blue energy, continuously slicing through the flesh and blood of the corpse's body, creating wounds four or five meters deep.

For the symbiote, this was only a minor wound, but it served as a good distraction, diverting its attention.

On the ground, Cao Yu seized the opportunity, forcefully pushed off the ground and leaped, transforming his body into a long spear that instantly pierced through the hideous mouthparts on the surface of the monstrous skeleton and penetrated deep into its body.

Just like Sun Wukong entering Princess Iron Fan's stomach, he unleashed two killing spells and began to wreak havoc inside Gonghai's body.

In an instant, the skeleton let out a shrill scream.

The next second, it actually abandoned the part of Cao Yu's body that was wrapped around him, letting it explode into pieces of flesh.

Its body was thus split open.

Taking advantage of Cao Yu's loss of foothold and the moment he landed on the ground, it directly manipulated the flesh on its body surface to writhe and grow a pair of enormous fleshy wings.

With a flap of its fleshy wings, it instantly created a raging storm within a kilometer radius.

The storm rhythmically wrapped around its fleshy wings, actually lifting it up... and it took flight!
How can such a massive body fly?
This is probably the power of extraordinary genes.

In just a few seconds, Gonghai had distanced himself from Cao Yu.

It's hard to imagine that a monster with a chaotic mind, driven only by instinct, could possess such a fighting spirit.

at the same time.

The hundreds of mouthparts on the surface of the symbiote opened at the same time, spewing out hundreds of white-gold lightning bolts.

Most of these lightning bolts struck Cao Yu.

They pierced the atmosphere, split the ground, and exploded like rolling waves.

Cao Yu used himself as a soldier, directly cutting through the falling lightning energy attack.

However, An Li, who was in the safe zone, was not having an easy time.

The werewolf puppet she controlled was struck by more than a dozen bolts of lightning in an instant, and torn to shreds in the surging and violent energy.

The remaining lightning bolts struck her.

Fortunately, after seeing the co-corpse fly up, she sensed something was wrong and had the "Faceless One" deploy a blood shield to block it in front of her.

Lightning struck the invisible protective shield of the safe house.

An Li and the "Faceless One" were unharmed.

Taking this opportunity, Cao Yu returned to the safe zone.

As the symbiotic skeleton flew into the air, its hundreds of mouthparts spewed out lightning once again, like a torrential rain, all of which bombarded the invisible barrier of the safe house.

The barrier seemed to be a manifestation of some kind of rule-based power, showing no signs of weakening even in the face of such a raging lightning strike.

An Li breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

It seems the safe house is absolutely safe.

Seeing that the lightning attack failed, the monstrous creature opened its other mouthparts and spewed out a large amount of poisonous mist, covering an area of ​​several hundred meters in radius.

However, these toxic fumes were also blocked by the barrier.

Then it unleashed a fiery attack, like dragon's breath, but it was still blocked.

This thoroughly enraged it, and it began to probe with attacks in various forms.

At this moment, An Li noticed that Cao Yu had come to her side.

Cao Yu took out a mental potion, drank it in one gulp, and asked An Li, "Your corpse puppet is gone?"

"Hmm. I didn't expect the Co-Bodies could unleash lightning attacks..."

Despite losing a corpse puppet, An Li, being a wealthy young woman, showed little change in her tone:
"Don't worry about the corpse puppet. We can make another one when we get back."

She paused, then asked:
"You gave up?"

"Not yet," Cao Yu said. "I told you before that I'm a burst-type player and can't handle long battles. I just used up a lot of energy."

He wasn't lying about that.

He had just unleashed two killing spells simultaneously, covering his entire body and maintaining the attack continuously. While the battle was fierce, sending Gong Hai flying, the energy expenditure was immense. In just a short while, more than half of his mental energy was gone.

Seeing that the second phase of the shared remains had begun, he had no choice but to return to the safe house to recover his mental strength.

"Moreover," Cao Yu continued, "I have no means of long-range attacks."

“My ‘Faceless One’ is a defensive corpse puppet, so it can no longer help you with feints to attract its attention.” After a moment’s thought, An Li said, “I’ll lend you the ‘Dust-Separating Golden Ring’.”

Cao Yu shook his head:

"At my current level of evolution, I can't draw out too many effects from D-rank items, and I don't have the spare capacity to fully unleash my superpowers while using D-rank items."

The consumption of items is much greater than the use of superpowers.

Since it's not one's own ability, one can't act as one pleases or maintain maximum efficiency.

"So what should we do next?" An Li asked. "I can't think of a new strategy."

The power of the Cosmic Remains is far too great.

If it were just a large physical body, that would be one thing, but this one can also generate electricity, breathe fire, and spread poison... The two had no idea how many genes the other had evolved into an extraordinary bloodline.

If it weren't for the safe house, they would probably be dead several times over by now.

"I do have a new strategy."

Cao Yu's gaze fell on the ring on An Li's right index finger:
"Put away the corpse puppet, stop using your superpowers, and activate the 'Dust-Free Golden Ring' at full power. Gather the maximum repulsive force you can draw out and use it to launch me into the monster's body."

“…Are you crazy?” An Li frowned and said, “Putting aside whether your body can withstand such a force, the acceleration in that instant is enough to crush your internal organs.”

She knew Cao Yu's superpower—the ability to forcefully cleave through her prop's force field. But to successfully launch herself, she had to deactivate her superpower and use her body to withstand the repulsive force of the prop.

"Don't worry, I'm equipped with a body enhancement item that has a self-healing effect," Cao Yu said. "Even if my internal organs rupture, they can heal themselves."

Invulnerability to blades and bullets, and the ability to regenerate severed limbs—these are two of the features possessed by "Unyielding Spirit".

He had witnessed the effects of An Li's "Separation from Dust Golden Ring" many times, and he already had a rough estimate of its power.

In short, it's worth a try!
"Since you insist... wait for me to recover first."

An Li agreed, took out the psychiatric potion and drank it, while also handing Cao Yu a bottle of an unknown potion.

Just listen to her say:
"This is a Grade E healing agent, which is an upgraded version of the hemostatic spray."

"Thanks." Cao Yu nodded.

The two waited for about ten minutes until their mental strength recovered, and then they began their operation.

Meanwhile, the monster continued its relentless attack on the safe house barrier, as if Cao Yu and An Li were its mortal enemies.

Outside the safe house, a green toxic fog had long since spread. The surrounding buildings, shrouded in this fog for so long, began to decay and melt away.

"Are you ready?" An Li asked Cao Yu.

Cao Yu was squatting on the small planar force field created by An Li, his eyes aimed at the location of the co-existing remains in the air.

He nodded and said, "Let's begin!"

Boom! The uniform repulsive force of the planar force field suddenly dispersed, enveloping Cao Yu's entire body, using a three-dimensional structure to simulate the effect of environmental pressure as much as possible.

Then, disregarding the mental strain, An Li activated the prop at full power, maximizing the repulsive force in one go, launching Cao Yu like a cannonball at supersonic speed.

In the instant he was thrown back, Cao Yu felt immense pain and intense discomfort inside his body.

Blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spilled from the corner of his mouth... His internal organs were ruptured, but it didn't matter, the self-healing effect of the item had already started to take effect.

He activated the "Immortal Slaying Spell," and his body instantly tore through the air, flying with almost no resistance. In less than a second, he entered the body of the co-corpse.

They were so close that the skeletons had no time to dodge.

After roughly assessing that he had penetrated about ten meters into the mortal realm, Cao Yu immediately stopped the "Immortal Slaying Spell"—in that instant, flesh and blood from all directions pressed in, and a strong corrosive sensation assaulted his entire body. In just that one moment, his skin was injured, and his bones were under tremendous pressure.

Fortunately, this maneuver allowed him to successfully stay at the center of the remnant's body.

Cao Yu immediately unleashed the "Immortal Slaying Curse" and the "Eternal Wound Curse" simultaneously, severing all physical attacks aimed at him and wreaking havoc within the Gonghai body.

The remains let out a piercing scream.

The incurable wounds continued to accumulate inside its body.

Cao Yu held his breath and took the opportunity to drink all the mental potions to maintain his berserk attack.

It's unclear how much time passed, but the screams of the wrecked creature grew fainter and fainter... Boom—its massive body crashed to the ground.

Cao Yu did not stop his destruction, continuing to slash and attack wantonly inside its body.

He stopped attacking when his mental energy was almost depleted, smashed through layers of flesh and blood, broke out of the symbiotic body, and retreated towards the safe house.

He had barely arrived at the safe house, and before he could even recover, the same thing happened again... The player panel popped up, and the Evolution Game notification sounded:
You have already defeated "Shared Remains".

You have achieved an S-rank dungeon rating.

[You have ended the existence of the E-rank dungeon "Shared Graveyard". It is now determined that you have automatically completed all tasks. This dungeon will be destroyed in 30 minutes.]
