Bizarre Cultivation: Starting from Being Beaten Up by Reality

Chapter 247 Two-Sided Encirclement

"Pah! This isn't it either!" Yu Xuzi spat.

The living curse's movements were perfectly synchronized as it spat out a body that had been bitten in half.

It now has eight arms-like legs, but the big-headed doll's face has grown a beard, and it crawls around on the walls and ceiling like a spider.

"This thing's power is comparable to the Painted Skin, but it lacks the Painted Skin's defensive capabilities. However, its regenerative abilities are just as terrifying!"

The Grand Commander silently plotted in his mind, then leaped up and smashed half of the Living Curse's body to pieces.

However, Yu Xuzi remained calm. With a single hand seal, the Living Curse's crawling hand suddenly stretched out, grabbed the slowest-running bandit, and a mouth grew from its palm, devouring him in one gulp.

"That's not it either!"

As the person was eaten, the man's mangled flesh and blood rapidly began to wriggle and recover.

Yu Xuzi laughed and said, "Come on, big guy, your spiked club doesn't hurt at all. Let me see how much strength you still have!"

The scene was now in complete chaos. Apart from a few strong individuals capable of protecting themselves, everyone else was running around like headless flies, terrified of being eaten alive by the monster if they were too slow. In terms of man-eating, it was far more efficient than the Painted Skin Spider, given that its hands and body could stretch at will, and mouths could grow from anywhere.

The commander-in-chief understood what was happening. This monster could recover by constantly devouring living things. His weaker subordinates had become the materials for the monster to regenerate its body!

If things continue like this, even if we kill him, most of our men will die!

Normally, the Grand Commander wouldn't care about the lives of these weaklings, but since they were going to the Blood Pool, everyone would get a share, greatly increasing their strength and making them a crucial force in eliminating Lan Hanyin. Now, even an ordinary person was a valuable reserve of combat power.

The strangest thing is that, according to the Grand Commander's divine sense, this monster isn't without weaknesses, but rather its entire body is riddled with them. But with such strong regenerative abilities, isn't that practically the same as having no weaknesses?

Thinking of this, he immediately came up with an idea. While keeping the stitched monster in front of him occupied, he ordered the others: "The monster will devour flesh and blood to regenerate. Those below the third-tier martial artist level should retreat as soon as possible and not hold us back!"

Escape? But where can we escape to?

Before most people could react, an elderly man with gray hair and a strong physique took the initiative to direct the retreat from the cave entrance.

"Everyone run this way! Don't rush, keep order, don't push the brothers in front! Don't worry, the Commander-in-Chief will cover our retreat, evacuate in an orderly manner!"

Lin Fan certainly didn't intend to save these people out of kindness. It was just that when he was trying to leave with Niu Dadan in the chaos, he suddenly remembered that Yu Xuzi could sense his approximate location. If he escaped alone, it would be too obvious. It would be safer to continue running in the crowd.

"Old Niu, that's enough, let's sneak in too!" Lin Fan said to the air behind him.

When no one responded, he reached behind him and grabbed at nothing but air!

Oh no, Niu Dadan has disappeared. Maybe he got separated from us by the crowd? He's wearing an invisibility cloak, so I can't see him at all.

Lin Fan looked around but couldn't find him. He gritted his teeth and followed the crowd away. Waiting around like an idiot wasn't going to solve anything. What if Niu Dadan had actually been pushed to the front? Searching around wouldn't help.

Yu Xuzi sensed the aura of the Red-Clothed Curse gradually moving outwards, and he became agitated.

"Ah! If only it were midnight, the Red-Clothed Curse's aura is too faint during the day. And even without sunlight inside the cave, the Living Curse can only exert seventy percent of its power!"

Although the Living Curse has gained a physical body and can move around during the day, it still fears sunlight, and its strength weakens during the day; the brighter the place, the weaker it becomes.

He chased after them out of the cave, but was stopped by the commander-in-chief who brandished his club. "Even if we die here today, we will not allow you to slaughter our brothers again!"

"The President is right!"

"Fuck you!"

Those who remained were all strong individuals confident in their abilities. Seeing that the battlefield was much cleaner now, they were filled with excitement and their fighting spirit soared.

"Phew!" Lin Fan breathed a slight sigh of relief. He had finally escaped, and the Living Curse was being held back by those Crab Mountain experts. It would be best if they devoured him and perished together.

But now that he hasn't found Sun Ruolan and has lost Niu Dadan, he feels that he is still a long way from being able to relax.

Suddenly, the surging crowd stopped.

"A Gu Corpse! There's a Gu Corpse over there! Quickly, back up!"

"There are monsters behind us, but the Gu corpses are easier to deal with if we go forward!"

"Easy to deal with my ass! You didn't go up there, so you didn't even see that hairy Gu corpse!"

In the narrow passage that had been forcibly dug out by the curse, the crowd was squeezed together in opposite directions and unable to move.

It really is a case of being caught between a rock and a hard place.

"What time is it now?" Lin Fan asked, grabbing someone next to him.

Inside the cave, it was difficult to distinguish between day and night, and for someone like Lin Fan who was not used to it, even his sense of time became blurred.

"Are you crazy? Why are you asking this? Quickly think about which way you can survive?"

boom.

After taking a punch to the left eye, the man immediately learned to speak properly, "Senior, I'm not entirely sure, but I'd guess it's around midnight."

It's past midnight.

Putting everything else aside, the curse can probably be cast after midnight, still by going through the Gu corpse route.

Lin Fan pushed through the crowd as if swimming in cement, slowly moving outwards.

Finally, they peeked out. At the front of the group, a tall, hairy Gu corpse was leading a frenzied slaughter of white and black zombies.

It seems the commotion caused by the Living Curse prompted Lan Hanyin to deploy all her elite forces in an attempt to wipe out the bandits here in one fell swoop.

On the other hand, the bandits didn't have any experts. Most of them would struggle even in a one-on-one fight against the white zombies, while a single black zombie could wreak havoc.

Not to mention the long-haired Gu corpse that led the way, which was as fierce as the Hulk.

Wait a minute, no matter what, Lin Fan recognized this hairy zombie as Lan Hanyu's brother.

Sigh, let's wait a bit longer. Lan Hanyin and Lan Hanyu, could they also be siblings?

The threat posed by these two meeting here is no less than that of the Living Curse.

Lin Fan rushed in front of the crowd, and with a single, powerful swing of his ink sword, he severed the heads of the black zombie and several white zombies at the very front.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this; thankfully, there were still experts traveling with them.

Lin Fan sensed their gratitude, respect, and trust, and shouted, "Don't be afraid, help me hold off these lackeys, I'm going to deal with that Gu Master!"

The crowd's morale surged, and instead of fleeing, they drew their weapons and engaged the Gu corpse in fierce combat.

On the other side, Lan Hanyu also recognized Lin Fan. Her jade-like fingers trembled with anger as she pointed at him and said, "Brother! It's him! He stole my jade pendant!"
