Chapter 168 The Burning Man
Long knives were inserted into the ground one after another, and the length of the knives became shorter and shorter. Su Ming stepped on the steps formed by the handles of the knives and attacked the Plague Messenger at the fastest speed!
"You're dead!"
Su Ming rushed in front of him, grinning and showing his white teeth.
"Miscellaneous item 4!" (What's going on!)
The Plague Messenger opened his eyes wide and stared at Su Ming in shock, his face full of confusion. The man in front of him was still burning, but looking at his expression, he didn't feel any pain at all. Didn't he encounter his own poisonous insect?
All the poisonous insects here carry deadly toxins, not just one, but hundreds of them, which absolutely no human can resist.
The flying insect should have hit his chest just now. The skin and flesh on his chest should have rotted into black water within a few seconds, and then a big hole should have rotted away, but why?
"Burn it!" Su Ming said coldly.
Fierce and violent flames rose up and enveloped the plague messenger in an instant. This flame was completely different from the previous one, both in temperature and burning efficiency.
A pale blue flame spurted out from Su Ming's hand, like the tail flame of a rocket, burning the air and making a loud "whoosh" sound!
The chair made of insects turned into ashes in an instant. It only took a moment to go from solid to ash.
The black scales on the Plaguebringer's body melted in a second, and his purple flesh was exposed to the flames, then instantly turned into charcoal.
“Ahhhhhhh!!!!”
The Plague Messenger howled in pain, but the various flesh-strengthening viruses in his body allowed him to maintain strong mobility for a short period of time in this extremely high temperature environment. He faced the flames and ran towards Su Ming at an extremely fast speed!
Su Ming stretched out his other hand, and a stream of blood turned into a long-handled trident in the air, piercing the Plague Messenger's chest and nailing him to the ground.
“Aaaaa——!!”
The Plague Messenger let out an ear-piercing scream, and the skin on his body kept floating, as if a living creature was about to break out of the skin.
But under Su Ming's burning heat, this inhuman body soon calmed down.
The monster stopped struggling, and the swarm of insects under Su Ming's feet scattered in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Su Ming knew that the Plague Messenger was dead, and these insect swarms had lost the control of the main brain, and their IQ returned to normal levels.
[Ding! Gained characteristic: Toxic body]
[Toxic Body: No one is not afraid of poison, unless that person himself becomes poisonous.]
【Rating: A】
[Effect: Extremely resistant to all kinds of poisons. After enduring poison for a period of time without dying, the poison in the body will be eliminated and the person will be completely immune.]
It's a very good feature. With it, it will be much easier to face the followers of the Plague Cult, Su Ming thought in a trance.
The flames burning on Su Ming's body went out, and his body, without any clothes covering it, was pitch black. If he moved a little, the charred skin and flesh would fall off his body, revealing the cooked red meat underneath.
Originally, the flame of a psychic will not harm the psychic himself, and the release of flame and the conversion of temperature often occur simultaneously.
But if the psychic wants to burn himself, he can do it very easily... just like Su Ming did just now.
Su Ming jumped off the hilt of the knife, stumbled and fell to the ground.
Looking at the Plague Messenger who was burned to charcoal in front of him, he couldn't laugh at all.
His guess just now was correct. Although those poisonous insects were deadly, they could not be transmitted through dead objects. The opponent's virus could spread throughout the body in a short period of time through contact with the skin. He tentatively believed that it was a virus that could spread rapidly through cell-to-cell interaction .
Su Ming originally wanted to use high temperature to cook his skin, but to be on the safe side, he chose to completely destroy the cell structure - burning it.
Just now he used fire to burn his entire outer skin into charcoal. Sure enough, the poisonous insects hit his charred skin but did not kill him.
"How terrible." Su Ming muttered to himself, and moved his mouth slightly. The carbon flakes on his face fell off, and half of his horrible face was exposed to the air . The cooked flesh and skin emitted wisps of white steam.
The reason why he was able to hold on until now was because of the characteristics he took from the hunter - [Return from Hell: If you continue to fight in a near-death state, your strength will grow explosively. ]
Su Ming was somewhat relieved that his body could now fight even in a dying state without the help of external forces.
If [Hell Return] had not been triggered just now, he would probably not have been able to burn the monster to death in such a short time.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being a characteristic worth 50% of the energy. After entering the enhanced state, both the spirit and the body have been greatly enhanced, and the power of the supernatural power has increased several times.
The last time Su Ming entered the Hell Return state, there was no such strong amplification effect. If his judgment is correct, the amplification effect of Hell Return will continue to increase with the improvement of basic abilities.
“Uh…ah.”
Su Ming fell down directly.
The battle was over, and he could no longer maintain the enhanced state of Hell Return. He did not feel any pain because his burns were very severe. The worst pain had been experienced during the battle. Now his skin had turned into charcoal and the sensory nerves on the surface had been completely destroyed, so he did not feel any pain.
He just felt his head was heavy and wanted to take a nap, but he knew that he must not faint now. If he fainted now, he would never wake up again.
His super intuition kept reminding him not to faint.
Su Ming tried to stand up, but his weak body didn't allow him to do so, and he fell heavily to the ground.
He regretted not using the annihilation mode just now, but instead executed his own tactics without authorization. In fact, in the situation just now, using the annihilation mode was the safest option, at least that way he could be burned for fewer seconds.
If the fever had shortened a few seconds, he might be able to stand up now.
But at that time he felt that this tactic had a high success rate. After killing the opponent, there would still be energy left in the annihilation mode to fight against stronger enemies in the future, so he chose to forcibly burn the opponent with flames.
If I had known earlier, I would have used the annihilation mode. Now it feels like I'm going to die, but my money hasn't been spent yet.
Su Ming tried to move his body. His limbs could still move, but it was impossible for him to straighten his waist and support himself to stand up.
The movement of his limbs became uncoordinated and manipulating his body felt strange, like it wasn't his body.
Breathing became difficult. He tried hard to breathe for air, but it felt like nothing was coming in.
There were various other uncomfortable reactions in the body, which combined made Su Ming very desperate.
There was no doubt about it…he was going to die.
Su Ming lay on his back, his chest heaving, his bloodshot eyes staring blankly at the gray sky, thoughts flashing through his mind one after another.
Damn it... I don't even have the strength to stand up. Am I going to die?
Just die here?
Will Xia Xiaoyu come back?
If Xia Xiaoyu returned here now, he would survive.
In just a few seconds, many things flashed through Su Ming's mind. In a daze, Xia Xiaoyu's face appeared in front of him, and then quickly disappeared... He began to have hallucinations, and these hallucinations made him feel a little more comfortable, but he knew that this was not a good sign.
He doesn't want to die.
I really don't want to die.
If he died, what would Xia Xiaoyu do? The enemies here were too strong, not like humans at all, and she would never be able to survive alone.
I want to protect you...how could I let anything happen to you?
The strong longing made him much more sober, but it did not provide him with any physical strength at all. He felt that the discomfort was relieved a lot, but his intuition told him that this was not getting better, but that he was going to die.
Apart from the faint signal of death, intuition did not provide any guidance, and the super S-level supernatural power was powerless in this situation.
Suddenly, an ugly and ferocious face appeared in front of Su Ming's eyes. The face was covered with herpes and pus and blood. The nose had completely disappeared, and two triangular bone holes were exposed where the nose used to be.
What is this? Whose face is so ugly?
The brain, which was sluggish due to lack of blood, reacted a beat late before Su Ming realized - this was an infected person!
Su Ming pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled.
He desperately moved his arm towards the other person's feet, trying to touch the infected person's body, but his arm moved as slowly as a turtle.
At this time, if the opponent wants to dodge, he just needs to lift his leg gently.
But obviously, the infected person in front of him did not know Su Ming's intention. He said something meaningless in the local bird language, then raised his rotten and festering paw and stepped hard on Su Ming's hand.
"Huff, huff, huff!" The infected made their unique "Huff" laughter.
"Ha, ha." Su Ming also laughed softly.
He grabbed the infected man's foot.
[Xia Xiaoyu exclusive] has started!
"Secondary card!" the infected person shouted.
He wanted to move his foot away from Su Ming's hand, but was held tightly. In his eyes, this severely burned and dying corpse suddenly burst out with unprecedented strength, jumped up from the ground, and knocked him to the ground!
"Sub-card rip!"
The infected person roared, and he thrust out his chest suddenly. All the pustules on his chest burst, and pus and blood splattered on Su Ming.
“Ha! Hahahaha! Hahahaha!!!”
Su Ming opened his mouth and laughed wildly, the charred flesh on his face fell off piece by piece, but he didn't care at all, his eyes were full of joy!
Re-entering the combat state made Su Ming once again become a man who came back from hell, and [Return from Hell] took effect for the second time!
And with the help of [Xia Xiaoyu Exclusive], he can transfer all his injuries to this infected person!
He can survive!
The infected person who was pressed under Su Ming was also confused. It was the first time he met someone who was not afraid of him. Most people who touched him would die within a month, and if they came into contact with his body fluids, they would not survive for several hours. But the person in front of him was not afraid of him at all, and rode on him as if he wanted to rape him.
The infected person suddenly swung his fist and hit Su Ming in the face. After Su Ming took the punch hard, he turned his head back and continued to press down on the infected person.
