If you don't want to "burn blood" to clear the way, you can only use a dagger to cut through the thorns, leaving your arms covered in bloody cuts.
After panting as he cleaved through another clump of black thorns, Li Pu clicked his tongue.
Traveling at this speed is like being slowly tortured with a dull knife!
When will it finally arrive?!
To desecrate Marika...
Never mind, let's bomb this place!
[Skill 'Principle of Causality Lv.0' activated!]
[The negative effect of "Marika's Mark" has activated!]
[Sealed artifact: 'Marika's Great Rune - Part 7' activated!]
The Bloodlust buff is complete!
The next instant, the boy took a deep breath, focused his energy in his dantian, clenched his small hands in front of his chest, and roared in battle!
"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"
"Baby, ptooey!"
"Marika!!!"
The woman in the car, who was staring at the boy from off-screen with a "sexually apathetic" expression, was stunned. Her maternal instinct made her subconsciously prepare to go and rescue the child!
But the next moment, the boy suddenly changed his tune, pointing his fair little hand high into the void!
"You are one!"
"Der'er!!!"
I'm pointing at your forehead!
"I'll make you fly in a minute!!!"
"Do you even know what a 'black hand' is?!"
"..." The maternal love on Marika's face vanished...
Even Tifa Bahamut, a self-proclaimed "hater," was stunned.
Is he on my side?
The young Alice looked timidly at the shadow that had settled between Marika's brows, her lips slightly parted as if she wanted to offer comfort.
That child is probably going through a rebellious phase; it's normal for them to resist their mother's discipline...
But he swallowed the words back.
She felt it was best not to speak up right now...
But what happened next was completely unexpected for all the women!
moment--
A ring of blazing gold suddenly shattered, originating from the boy!
The golden flow surged forth like a burst of sunlight, sweeping across everything in its path.
Thousands of black thorn forests were burned to ashes, scattered across the sky!
Bahamut's moist, cherry-red lips parted slightly, and a disdainful chuckle rang in Marika's ear:
"Wow... this kid's got some skills."
Alice's smile instantly brightened. "After cleaning it up, the underground research institute looks much better."
The shadows cast by Marika's drooping eyelashes instantly melted into shimmering gold! Her neckline rose proudly, and her gaze swept over the two women with an air of arrogance.
His fingertips traced his still-warm lower lip, and he gave a lazy, crooked smile:
"My little rascal is just being silly and doesn't know any better."
Her voice, trembling with a sweet, triumphant smugness, completely disregarded Li Pu's rebellious remarks from just moments before...
however--
This maternal glory of "my son has grown up" didn't even last three seconds in the air!
The girls then saw the cute boy jog away...
Suddenly, he ducked down, sticking out his tight little bottom, and plunged directly into the nearest thicket of black thorns!
puff! Poof!
They just randomly poked and stabbed at the thorny branches without any strategy!
Handsome for only three seconds...
The proud smile that once graced the lips of the Eternal Queen Marika vanished instantly, freezing her into a stone statue with a snap!
Born a village girl, wielding a stone hammer, her golden eyes widened, and only one thought resonated in her mind:
I must teach this little brat a lesson myself when I get back!
What is proper etiquette?!
Li Pu had no idea that several beautiful women were watching him. He was so anxious that he was grimacing and wished the knife in his hand could go even faster.
I've lost 30% of my health, I need to recover quickly!
Four seconds later, plus an extra "pursuit" after the "Flying Light" skill was activated, he managed to recover 19% of his health.
The "Pursuit" attack provided the most recovery, directly restoring approximately 3% of the health.
This led him to a conclusion.
The greater the destructive power, the more recovery it generates.
The faster the attack frequency, the more responses are received.
However, one person alone cannot achieve the effect of "reversing the electricity meter".
If they were together with Tifa, and with her "Dolphin Dance" move, they really wouldn't need a healer at all.
After taking a mental test for a while and catching his breath, he suddenly realized something.
I got so caught up in the fight with Thorns while clearing the way that I forgot to check the intelligence...
But he is not in a hurry.
The priority now is to observe the surroundings and find a completely safe hiding place.
It would be truly strange if that commotion just now didn't attract the monsters from the depths of the ruins!
After he cleared away this small patch of dark forest, it finally revealed its true form: a spacious underground experimental field, comparable in size to a basketball court.
At the north end of the site, a heavy metal gate is embedded in the wall, but it has long been completely covered and wrapped up by gnarled, dense black vines.
That should be the entrance to the last floor of the research institute.
Having assessed his surroundings, Li Pu swiftly ducked and plunged into another thicket of thorns to hide.
—Because of his striking pair of fluffy cat ears, the three women watching had long regarded him as a little black cat.
Especially after seeing the boy's furtive manner, they couldn't help but smile.
The boy in the thicket of thorns was completely unaware of this.
He cautiously scanned the empty space while simultaneously flipping through today's updated intelligence list, searching for information that could be used immediately.
New daily scoops have been updated.
[Purple Rank C. Since you followed Marika into the final level of the 'Ruins' yesterday, you have obtained new information—]
The final level of the underground research facility in the "Ruins" is guarded by "Otherworld Witch 2B" for unknown reasons.
Anyone who approaches will be mercilessly killed.
So it was Miss 2B? That makes sense, since she's the one who kidnapped the little guy.
After surveying his surroundings, he looked at the next item.
[Purple Rank C. You have obtained new information because you have discovered the cure for the virus within 'Otherworldly Witch Jill']
Awaken her from the virus's erosion with extreme sensory stimulation to trigger Jill's exclusive "Lucky Event" reward.
I'm a hundred floors below ground, how am I supposed to find Jill?
Are you suggesting I yell upstairs, "Jill! If you're a woman, come down a hundred floors!"
Before he could finish complaining in his mind, he heard a "thump"!
Jill actually fell straight down from the height in front of that heavy metal gate...
The spider-injector embedded in her chest was hissing and pumping. The spider seemed to have never let her go. With each injection of the red-glowing liquid, her mature and voluptuous body arched and trembled as if electrocuted, and she squeezed out intermittent moans from her throat. Her sweaty blonde hair clung to her pale neck, like a swan bound by a spider web.
Young Li Pu frowned. "A big cart is falling from the sky?"
But Jill's fall led to the appearance of Guard 2B!
“Tick…tick…tick…”
The rhythmic clatter of high-heeled boots pierced the deathly silence with a chilling sound.
2B, still wearing the White Queen's badge on her chest, raised her long sword, her eyes devoid of any emotion, and walked step by step toward Jill, the mature woman in leather who was slumped on the ground.
"Anyone who dares to approach will die."
Li Pu frowned and made a decision in an instant!
Jill, who was not in control of her own life, was also having a hard time, but she couldn't bear to see others suffer.
First they forcibly took him from Exela, and then they let him go in the armored vehicle.
Twice in a row!
A good woman should not be let down—now is the time to repay her!
Without hesitation, he dashed out like an arrow released from a bow!
Chapter 116 The Past of the 'Ruins'
Clang——! ! !
A deafening metallic bang tore through the air!
The unassuming dagger in Li Pu's hand actually managed to precisely intercept 2B's next batch of long knives at the critical moment!
The violent force of the slash traveled along the dagger, and the bones in his arm groaned in pain from the unbearable strain!
[Fighting Level 2 - Activated!]
[The "Pursuit" effect of the "Flying Light" anchor point is triggered.]
In that instant when the knives clashed and sparks flew!
A sharp glint flashed in Li Pu's eyes!
"What a swift blade!"
With a low shout, he used the force of the parry to propel his body backward at an extraordinary speed, as if pulled by invisible threads!
quick! too fast!
The boy said she was fast, but he was even faster than her!
For the first time, a barely perceptible stagnation appeared in 2B's meticulously crafted, mechanical mindset.
"Calculation error... The original probability of a successful escape was less than 0.01%... The target deviated from the intended trajectory..."
A slight disturbance flashed through the cold, icy logic flow within the processor.
She didn't even have time to sheathe her sword and change her move. She could only watch helplessly as the boy swept out like a ghost, grabbed the voluptuous mature woman Gil who was groaning and writhing on the ground from the torment of the drug, and instantly created a distance of more than ten meters between them!
The dust has settled.
Young Lip knelt on one knee, shielding Jill behind him, a dagger held across his chest, and he was breathing heavily.
For the first time, a clear crack of astonishment appeared on 2B's perpetually expressionless face.
She slowly sheathed her sword, her cold electronic eyes fixed on the two figures that should have been cut in two.
