Chapter 4156 Anxious Xia De
Xia De took a step forward, and as the white mist parted to the left and right like a stage curtain, he stood up instinctively without even looking at his surroundings.
The leather restraints binding his body snapped, and after jumping from the operating table in the "blood collection workshop" to the ground, Xia De, with the power of his legs, dashed toward the nearest wall the instant his vision fully returned.
I can tell you're really anxious.
"She" said with a gentle smile, but Xia De didn't have time to respond to "her" for the moment. It was as if the factory could also see that Xia De was in a hurry, because even though he acted so quickly, the "blood collection workshop" still gave a timely response.
This time, it wasn't the flesh-and-blood mutants disguised as doors. As Shad approached the wall, disgusting slime seeped out from inside the wall, and then the slime formed a huge number of fleshy, elongated, vertical strips of colloid.
This thing looks like a "slime," which is rarely seen in the Sixth Era, but a normal slime doesn't contain bones or human remains inside. This kind of thing has never appeared in the factory before, so it's likely that the activation of the "Life Furnace" has caused an even more serious anomaly within the factory.
Xia De knew without a doubt that the cutting power of moonlight or the piercing power of lightning would have no effect on this kind of gelatinous substance; it might only cause it to split into more individuals.
So he chose the most straightforward method:
"The Magical Art: Ferrianana's Witch's Light!"
A beam of light, powerful enough to melt any matter, shot forward, clearing a path for Shad to reach the door in the wall. The flesh and slime monsters melted by the light were reduced to nothing, while those untouched by the witch's light continued to approach Shad.
The good news is that while these things may seem to have high physical and elemental resistance, they are also really slow.
The flesh-colored mud balls that shot out from the slime monsters' bodies were their only means of attack before Shad left, but this ranged attack posed no threat to Shad at all.
As he gripped the doorknob, the erupting Heaton sign stopped the flying objects. And after the shield, radiating golden light, shattered, Shad was nowhere to be seen in the "Blood Collection Workshop."
I'm back!
Upon entering the new room, Xia Degang wanted to greet the witches, but immediately realized that this room was not a "rest area" at all.
His feet were directly in the blood. The room, which was about half the size of St. Teresa's Square, had three huge metal pipes arranged horizontally on each of its four walls, from which bloody sewage flowed into the room. The room looked like a factory's sewage treatment center or sewer hub.
Amidst the gurgling sound of flowing blood, Gina, Miss Bradvi, and Old Lady Gustave are battling against countless "blood snakes."
Their forms are made of the blood beneath everyone's feet. Once dispersed, they fall back into the blood and regain their form. Although this consumes some of the blood, the pipes in the walls continuously supply new blood. It seems that these blood snakes will not be completely eliminated until all the liquid here has disappeared.
But the only door on the room's walls was the one behind Shad. Upon closer inspection, Shad discovered another door beneath the blood. It was a trapdoor; unless all the enemies were eliminated and the ground dried, the witches wouldn't be able to leave.
Gina and Mrs. Gustav were tasked with dealing with the blood serpents, while the halfling girl, wielding the small shield inlaid with the demonic eye, attempted to control a small number of blood serpents possessed by ghost faces to block the drains around the room. The small shield now not only bore the [Ghost Face Eye], but also another demonic eye—presumably a find from them—that the "Spark" and Shad didn't recognize.
When Shad burst into the room, the battle had reached its most intense moment, and having clearly grasped the situation, Shad decisively used the most appropriate magical technique:
"Moonlight Thorns!"
Crimson, glowing vines grew from the void, blocking the twelve circular water outlets. While this still didn't completely stop the blood from flowing into the room, it significantly reduced the amount of liquid entering.
Gina's bubbles and the old witch's magic dealt with the remaining monsters more and more quickly. The halfling girl, who had been helped, breathed a sigh of relief and was about to greet Shad when she heard a loud bang.
The blood, like a high-pressure water jet, broke through the barriers of the ghostly blood snake and the moonlight thorns, rushing into the room through the pipes on the four walls.
At this moment, almost every drop of red liquid was writhing and transforming into thin red snakes like tapeworms. Meanwhile, the petite Felianana, who had been floating above Gina's head directing the battle, flew towards the halfling girl's small shield and threw the AllSpark embedded in it at Shad.
Countless blood serpents tried to intercept the burning eye in the air, but the light attached to it by the demigod witch was enough to melt any fleshy aberrations.
The AllSpark was grasped in Xia De's palm, its surging life force bringing him an extreme sense of comfort. The life energy contained within the AllSpark at this moment far exceeded the total amount Xia De had when he last left, and was even much stronger than any AllSpark he had seen in the Sixth Era.
This not only represents the enormous amount of life energy contained in this factory, but also the many difficult battles the witches went through after Shad left last time.
"Miraculous Technique: Moonlight Thorns!"
The same magic was used by Shad once again, but this time the red moonlight bushes that grew from the void were clearly more like real, materialized plants.
The spark of life was infused into the moonlight thorns. Last time, before Shad left, it was only a preliminary attempt, yet it did manage to hold back the "Shadow of Withering" for a moment. This time, however, when the dense thicket of thorns blocked the outlets of the pipes, even though the blood roared again, it could not break through the barrier of the red moonlight.
"Gina, this is a great opportunity!"
The old witch spoke to the young dragon girl beside her, and then red flames appeared on both of their bodies at the same time.
The exploding bubbles and the "Great Disintegration Spell" instantly cleared away all the remaining blood snakes in the room. The blood beneath everyone's feet became increasingly thin, and the witch's light emanating from the doll, Felian Anna, directly evaporated the remaining liquid.
"Come on!"
Without bending over, Gina's large tail hooked onto the handle of the trapdoor and pulled it open. As Shad ran towards them, the witches jumped down through the trapdoor one by one, with the doll, Miss Feliananna, waiting at the back. She wrapped her arms around Shad's neck and was led by him into the new room below.
During the fall, Shad clearly heard a meow coming from his chest again, but fortunately, Mia did not stick her head out because Miss Feliana was trying to sit on her "seat". She was quite obedient.
The trapdoor wasn't far from the ground below, and Gina even helped Shad when he landed. The door above them had already been closed by Shad, who was the last to land, and the rumbling sound of water disappeared. However, no one spoke immediately; instead, they cautiously looked into the new room.
The new room wasn't large, and shelves were filled with all sorts of metal tools stained with blood, and even the walls were covered with rusty wrenches, screwdrivers, and other tools.
Mrs. Gustave breathed a sigh of relief:
"The tool shed, one of the safest rooms in the factory, second only to the prayer room from last time."
Is it because there is no flesh and blood here?
Xia De inquired, noting that the concentration of blood mist in the room was also very low, and apart from the bloodstains on the metal, the blood vessel diagram of a dragon painted with blood on the wall, and the dried bloodstains in the cracks of the floor tiles, there were almost no particularly obvious bloodstains in sight.
"Yes, most of these simple functional rooms are safe."
Shortly after you left, we ignited the third Life Forge as planned. Then, not only did trapdoors, which had never appeared before, appear, but other changes also occurred in the factory. Now, rest rooms appear less and less frequently, and the types of rest rooms have become more dangerous than before. Not long ago, we were discussing what kind of rest rooms we would encounter when you returned, so that we could stay here for a long time.”
The old witch said, then smiled at Shad:
"Although it feels a bit strange to say 'welcome back' in a place like this, it's still great to see you back."
"We've been talking about you for a while now."
The halfling girl manipulated the [Active Metal] to shrink her shield again, then tugged at Shad's sleeve and said...
Gina hugged Shad directly, and then, not daring to look at the expression on the doll on Shad's shoulder, she pretended nothing had happened and started setting up the temporary camp with everyone.
In fact, Miss Felician Anna didn't care at all:
"Yes, welcome back, Shad."
The little doll kissed Shad's cheek.
During Shad's absence, the three witches all benefited greatly from Miss Feliana's arrival. One piece of evidence was that the camp they set up was no longer a small shelter where everyone had to huddle together with their legs tucked in.
The halfling girl manipulated the metal, erecting a metal tent on the open ground next to the workbench in the right corner of the room. Although the tent was still not large, it was at least much better than the previous shelter.
Madame Gustav cast a protective spell on the tent, while Gina spat bubbles to fill every gap in the metal tent. Shad noticed that the three witches were all using the power of the Life Spark to enhance their spellcasting, even though the spark itself was still in his hand.
He planned to ask questions after everyone finished their work, and just as he was about to say a few more words to the petite Miss Felicia, Mia popped out of Shad's collar again.
