Human Genius? Sorry, I’m a Deviant Chapter 127
No! There's another possibility.
Su Zhan immediately checked his phone.
No signal at all!
No wonder when he tried contacting his teammates via communicator, they didn't respond.
With no signal, no matter how much he called out to his teammates, they wouldn't receive it.
This situation.
Either they were being jammed.
Or... the Fog had descended! All electronic devices would fail, including phones, computers, even surveillance systems - everything would become useless.
In this special space enveloped by the Fog, the flow of time was completely different from the outside world.
Powerful beings from outside could force their way in, while those inside who tried to leave would only enter the true Fog world - the nest of Fog creatures, humanity's hell.
Better go out and take a look.
Su Zhan didn't retrace his original path.
After all, if he went back the way he came, he might encounter survivors, which would expose his whereabouts.
He had no intention of returning anyway.
Of course, just an intention.
As for his teammates...
He wasn't worried about them now.
After all, they were two against one, and the opponent was already injured - no matter what, they should be able to handle them.
So...
Su Zhan pushed open the rusted iron door that the Bone Lizard Aberration had desperately tried to open until its dying breath.
The end of the secret passage must be an escape route.
From here, he could also reach the surface.
Behind the iron door was a row of upward-leading stairs.
Su Zhan stepped onto the stairs and began ascending.
At the top of the stairs was a heavy stone door covered in moss.
Su Zhan pushed with all his strength.
Suddenly, everything opened up before him.
Su Zhan stood on the first floor of an abandoned factory building in the industrial district.
He immediately ran outside.
Scanning his surroundings, his pupils slightly contracted.
The entire boundary of the industrial district was enveloped by churning gray-white Fog, the mist writhing slowly like a living creature, completely isolating this area from the outside world.
Looking up, the sky was also obscured by Fog.
No stars or moonlight could be seen, only an oppressive gray darkness.
"So it really is the Fog."
Su Zhan recalled the scene of the aberrations fleeing.
Three low-risk seventh-tier aberrations, and... one low-tier aberration.
It seemed these aberrations weren't just running away.
They hadn't forgotten to summon the Fog, using Fog creatures as backup.
This was a perfect opportunity to enhance his aberration form.
Just at that moment.
The Fog not far away churned violently, as if torn open by some invisible force.
A massive creature slowly crawled out from the Fog.
Standing over 3 meters tall.
It had a torso resembling human, but its skin was like bark, full of texture and unevenness.
It had a torso resembling a human, but its skin was like bark, full of texture and unevenness.
Instead, three spine-like tentacles extended from its shoulder blades.
Each tentacle tip grew a deformed eyeball covered in compound eyes.
Its arms hung down to its knees, both hands split into six barbed bone whips that left sticky blood trails as it moved.
And its abdomen.
The skin there was completely transparent.
One could clearly see piles of half-digested bones from unknown creatures inside.
Su Zhan immediately searched through the information in his mind, recognizing the identity of the species standing before him.
Bone Corruptor.
Flexible bone whips, wide field of vision, the transparent abdominal skin could open to form a vertical gaping maw, allowing it to feed directly through its abdomen after killing prey - though it could do so even without killing first.
Based on the intensity fluctuations of the Fog surrounding it.
Its strength should be at low-risk sixth-tier.
Su Zhan's heart turned cold.
When aberrations summoned the Fog, most of the Fog creatures that emerged were of a single type, but... most of the time, there was more than one.
It had been over half a year since the Fog first descended within Daxia.
Fog creatures had progressed from initially being below entry-level strength to their current level.
The progress was too rapid.
Even though Su Zhan considered his cultivation speed quite fast, facing Fog creatures still made him feel insecure.
The Bone Corruptor's three eyeballs simultaneously locked onto Su Zhan, its tentacles writhing as they emitted piercing sounds similar to a baby's cry: "Sssss..."
Its three-meter tall deformed body pressed down like a small mountain, six bone whips -
The bone whips suddenly extended, twisting toward Su Zhan to crush him!
Su Zhan appeared childishly small before it, yet he didn't retreat a single step.
"Slow!"
Abyssal Gaze erupted with golden light.
The six attacking bone whips immediately slowed down.
Su Zhan crouched and dashed forward, his twin blades crossing before him into an X-shaped cold gleam, aiming directly for the opponent's abdomen.
"Clang!"
The Bone Corruptor's abdomen split open, a row of sharp teeth closing shut, firmly clamping down on the twin blades.
The three eyeball tentacles took advantage to break free from the deceleration field, wrapping toward Su Zhan from different angles.
"Accelerate!"
Su Zhan released the knife hilts, his body leaning backward like a ghost.
The three tentacles couldn't stop their momentum in time, actually piercing through each other's eyeballs!
Black blood sprayed everywhere.
Su Zhan flipped through the air, both feet viciously kicking the Bone Corruptor's knee joints.
This strike used the power of his aberration form, making it exceptionally powerful.
"Crack!"
The three-meter tall giant body crashed to its knees, shaking the ground until it cracked.
Su Zhan took the opportunity to retrieve his twin blades.
"Roar—!"
The Bone Corruptor flew into a rage, suddenly ejecting the bones from its abdomen!
Dozens of human bones covered the entire space like shotgun pellets.
Su Zhan whirled his twin blades into a curtain of light, yet several bone fragments still penetrated his defense.
"Thud! Thud!"
A rib grazed his thigh.
A finger bone skimmed past his temple, drawing a line of blood.
The scent of blood stimulated the Bone Corruptor into greater frenzy.
It suddenly stood up, six bone whips smashing down with mountain-splitting, rock-crushing force!
Su Zhan advanced instead of retreating, slipping through the gaps the moment the bone whips descended.
His twin blades cut along the opponent's arms.
The sound of blades grinding against flesh echoed.
Black blood cascaded down like a waterfall, corroding smoking pits in the ground where it landed.
The Bone Corruptor violently swung its arm.
Smashing Su Zhan hard against abandoned steel frames.
"Boom!"
Su Zhan crashed through three layers of rusted iron plates before finally stopping his momentum.
"Cough..."
He spat out blood foam from his mouth.
Su Zhan staggered to his feet.
The Bone Corruptor's three damaged eyeballs squirmed as they regenerated.
It approached with earth-shaking, mountain-trembling steps, several bone spikes covered in digestive fluid emerging from the gaping tear in its abdomen.
"To be honest, if I were fighting aberrations, I wouldn't have much motivation, but fighting Fog creatures... hehe... killing monsters to level up, how could I lack motivation for that?"
Su Zhan said this to himself internally.
Currently fighting on the surface, with many people and eyes around, he couldn't easily expose his aberration form.
However...
Now he didn't need to transform to access aberration power.
But in this state, he could only access fifty percent of the power.
Yet for the current situation, it was already sufficient.
No scales, no tail - just the purest physical enhancement.
Another bone whip lashed toward him.
Su Zhan neither dodged nor avoided it, directly grabbing the whip's tip with his left hand.
The barbs pierced his palm, blood not even having time to flow out yet.
With a swing of his blade.
"Swish!"
The bone whip snapped cleanly.
The Bone Corruptor's three eyeballs simultaneously contracted, the remaining five whips madly twisting toward him for the kill.
"Accelerate!"
Su Zhan's figure suddenly blurred, pure speed explosion allowing him to weave through the whip net.
"Bang!"
One blade chopped at the Bone Corruptor's knee joint.
The three-meter tall body crashed to its knees.
The concrete-paved ground directly exploded, cracks spreading over five meters away.
The Bone Corruptor's abdomen split open, spewing corrosive digestive fluid.
Su Zhan sidestepped to avoid it, swinging his blade to chop at the opponent's elbow joint.
"Crack!"
The entire arm was severed like a dry branch.
Final blade strike.
The Bone Corruptor's eye tentacles along with its upper body were directly cleaved in two.
The headless remains swayed twice before heavily collapsing into the ruins.
Su Zhan shook the black blood from his hands, his breathing somewhat ragged.
However...
Su Zhan looked at the Bone Corruptor's remains on the ground, flesh and blood already reconnecting and regenerating.
After this reflection, he began delivering finishing blows.
