My different world is game mode.

"Is this... the power of corruption!?"

Lindsay has dealt with the Abyss School more than once.

When the soil around him turned into flesh and blood, he immediately recognized the source of this power and looked up.

His eyes could not penetrate the thick layer of corrupted flesh.

Judging from the essence of the two powerful men who were fighting fiercely, he also understood his current situation.

"The eighth stage of power, the replacement of the world's laws."

"Just the aftermath of the battle can cause such a situation. Especially since this is the [City of Law]! If it were an ordinary world, how exaggerated would the scale and speed of corruption be..."

Lindsay took a deep breath.

The power of [Power of Corruption] lies in its terrifying ability to infect and its ubiquitous flesh and blood.

The former is easy to deal with, Lindsay can resist it with her own life principles.

As for the latter...

Under normal circumstances, he could slowly clean up and dig a tunnel.

But at this moment he obviously didn't have enough time!

"Besides, if we make too much noise and attract the attention of the guy above..."

Lindsay frowned.

He looked forward and saw endless layers of flesh and blood spreading towards him, so he used building blocks to build a temporary defense for himself.

"Although I am not afraid of corruption, I must be careful about the speed of my advance. Otherwise, I will attract the attention of the enemies above, and it is hard to say what will happen next."

sizzle-

Lindsay calmly analyzed the current situation. The blocks he had just laid were rapidly decaying before his eyes, gradually turning abnormal red and green. Looking closely, the inside of the blocks was full of blood vessels and lymph, and the surface was covered with tiny pink granulation growths.

"This speed..."

"In less than half a minute, this shelter will become my coffin."

Crisis situation.

But for Lindsay, this time was enough for him to sort out his thoughts.

"Now is not the time to gamble on your luck."

"bring it on!"

As every second counted, Lindsay opened the skill list without any hesitation and activated the [Strategist] skill that he had always been cautious about.

The next second, the screen in front of Lindsay was filled with dense text.

It seemed as if it knew the player’s current predicament.

The [Strategist] skill is not like before, which only gives one feasible suggestion. This time, it lists multiple coping methods and their corresponding results for Lindsay!

Lindsay's eyes quickly scanned this guide:

"Use [Withered Queen Flower] - due to the natural restraint of this plant on [Power of Corruption]. When it takes effect, the enemy awakener will instantly notice it, and the danger is extremely high; actively activate [Blood River Emblem] - relying on the power of controlling blood, actively integrate into the corrupted flesh and blood, so that you can barely reach the wizard cemetery before losing consciousness, and at the same time will not attract anyone's attention, but be careful of the hostility of [City of Law]; [Lotus of Thirst] - after planting, it will quickly devour the surrounding flesh and blood, clearing a path. But if you are a little slow, you will be discovered by the enemy above..."

Lindsay made a decision in an instant:

"Being discovered and infected are both taboos, so this is the only way!"

Lindsay took out the seeds that Qingli gave him before entering Blue Lake Town.

[Magic Seed/Material: Thirst Lotus Leaf]

[After being planted in a swamp or water area, the Thirst Lotus will grow extremely fast and devour all nearby life. After absorbing enough nutrients, the Thirst Lotus will bear fruit, which will greatly enhance the user's vitality or essence after consumption. ]

[An extremely dangerous modified invasive species, but the fruit has a strong healing or enhancing effect. Please use with caution, it is very valuable. ]

This seed was transformed by the top scholars of [Volcano City].

So although it has the characteristics of being planted in swamps or waters, the flesh and blood world in front of it has become the best breeding ground for this plant that craves for vitality, satisfying its planting conditions!

brush brush --

The surrounding flesh was still wriggling, and the granulations were growing longer and longer, almost sweeping in front of Lindsay.

Watching this crazy scene coldly, Lindsay also took a more radical move.

"Every second counts now, so let's make it even more dramatic!"

He activated the skill.

Transform this special seed into a resource.

Even though the total amount of source energy in Lindsay's body is already quite exaggerated, he still feels that about two-thirds of it has been removed!

"bring it on!"

Then, Lindsay threw the seed towards the wall of flesh and blood in front of him.

"Roar--"

In an instant, he seemed to hear a terrifying beast roaring in front of him.

There was no sound in reality, but this was not Lindsay's illusion.

The [Lotus of Desire] seed that he had just recognized suddenly burst out with a huge amount of vitality. It was the power of life itself, emitting an extremely strong desire!

As the owner of the life essence, Lindsay was the only one who could feel the "roar" of this special person.

next second.

Right before Lindsay's eyes, green stems and leaves spread rapidly.

It followed its nature, violently extending its roots to the rotten flesh and blood around it and piercing into it fiercely!

Under the forced infection of stage eight.

Even though the earth is full of corruption, its powerful vitality is unquestionable.

However, this does not mean that [Thirsty Lotus Leaf] is immune to [Corruption Power]. While it devours the other party, [Corruption Power] is also assimilating this violent and greedy plant.

The two sides entangled with each other, like a snake with its tail, and began to devour and assimilate!

"call--"

Amid the tangle of roots and flesh, Lindsay took a deep breath.

He aimed at the tunnel opened by the plants in front of him, activated all the skills to increase speed and strengthen physique, and rushed out with a resolute will.

The end of the field of vision.

An ordinary stone chamber that was immune to the [Power of Corruption] was right there, about three hundred and seventy meters away from him.

With Lindsay's current speed, he ran at full speed and arrived in the blink of an eye.

But this blink of an eye is enough time for a strong man in the eighth stage to discover a clue!

"Ok?"

The awakened one who was suppressing the elemental spirit above the lake finally noticed this small change underground.

In an instant, the flesh and blood entangled with the [Leaf Lotus of Thirst] became more violent.

The plant, suddenly infused with violent vitality, decayed much faster, but it also produced a fruit.

Lindsay was quick to grab it and continued to sprint.

But just with this one thing, the awakened person above seemed to understand something, and then he took a deep look at this place across thousands of meters of flesh and soil.

"hiss--"

Lindsay gasped.

With just a glance, the death curse that interferes with fate suddenly appeared.

But Lindsay just gasped.

The next second, he was completely unaffected and rushed to the front of the stone chamber.

Because right on his [Gamer] panel, the heroic blessing from the [Seven Seas Alliance] helped him ignore this malice.

[Critic's Approval: You have been recognized as a hero and a brave man, and it is difficult for anyone to control or interfere with your destiny. 】

Lindsay came closer to the stone chamber.

This stone room is made of simple bluestone, but there are some special laws around it. It seems to be a "natural phenomenon" defined by the [City of Law], without any source breath, directly integrated into the world.

That's why it can be immune to the [Power of Corruption] while hiding from enemy detection.

As for Lindsay.

As he possessed both the [Necklace of Thorns] and the [Code of Anthroposophy], there could be no problem with his identity recognition, and he rushed in without any hindrance.

Half of the metal round shield lay coldly on the ground.

Lindsay flew over and touched the semicircular shield, and was about to enter the wizard cemetery.

Among them, a man appeared first.

boom--

A strong murderous intent instantly spread around.

Based on Lindsay’s close-up experience, this power is no less than that of the two eighth-stage warriors who are fighting above!

The opponent was about to kill Lindsay, who coveted the wizard's cemetery, with a sword.

But he couldn't finish his threat because he felt Lindsay's presence and saw the face of the person in front of him:

"Sure enough, I've been waiting for you for a long time...Why is it you? Lindsay!"

Lindsay was also stunned.

Being targeted by an eighth-stage awakener, Lindsay was trying his best and there was no way he could stop.

The scene in front of his eyes had become blurred due to the spatial transformation.

But when he heard the voice, he looked back and recognized the identity of the person who called his name in the broken light and shadow.

That was the ranger Nolan, with whom he had lost contact since he added him as a friend in the past time and space!
