Chapter 246: Experimental Subject (3)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As soon as Green Ivy finished speaking, the entire indoor forest began to twist unnaturally.
However, Lu Ming remained silent, as if he was stunned.
The voice of Green Ivy continued.
“Because it’s food, I don’t care about my att.i.tude towards you, and your att.i.tude towards me.”
“Whether it’s gentle or cruel, it doesn’t matter.”
“If I’m interested, 1 can chat with you and satisfy your desires.”
“But now, I’m hungry.”
“So, Mr. Lu… Can I eat you?”
Although Green Ivy said that, there was no indication from her actions that she was seeking Lu Ming’s opinion.
Countless types of flowers, plants, and trees began to twist wildly.
The plants and trees formed a giant claw that slowly reached towards Lu Ming.
At this moment, Green Ivy seemed like a sophisticated diner, preparing to savor the taste of Lu Ming, this delicious food, in her own way.
Until Lu Ming suddenly came back to his senses.
“I have another question.”
“Please speak.” Even now, Green Ivy remained gentle and polite.
“Here.” Lu Ming pointed to the ground beneath his feet. “From here, going forward, are Lab Four, Lab Three, Lab Two, and Lab One.”
“Do these laboratories have alien life forms like you?”
“Yes,” the plant claw was getting closer and closer to Lu Ming.
“Then, are their att.i.tudes towards me similar to yours? Are they… treating me like food?”
“Pretty much.”
“I see…” Lu Ming sighed and shook his head. “Then 1 know what to do.”
In Laboratory One.
After Lu Ming walked down that path, the Dream Source and the Crimson Queen were no longer concerned about what was happening to him.
Because Lu Ming was as good as dead!
Lu Ming was unaware that the entire indoor forest in Laboratory Five was actually the body of the Green Ivy! By stepping on that path, he was essentially entering the body of the Green Ivy willingly.
There was no chance of survival, let alone victory.
After diverting his attention slightly, the Dream Source was about to say something when it suddenly heard a “bang” coming from the entire research inst.i.tute!
A ma.s.sive tremor surged over.
At this moment, it was like an earthquake at the First Research Inst.i.tute.
Out of the corner of its eye, the Dream Source seemed to catch a glimpse of something.
The Dream Source suddenly shifted its gaze and looked at the screen.
He could see that an astonishing transformation was occurring in Laboratory Five!
From the outside, at this moment, Laboratory Five had turned into a green spherical object.
This spherical object was completely composed of plants, with a mult.i.tude of plants entwined and wriggling together. There were even distinct facial features outlined by the plants on the surface of the sphere.
Their facial features were constructed, forming a ferocious ghost face!
This was the complete form of the Green Ivy!
At this moment, Lu Ming was inside the belly of the Green Ivy.
“All!!”
A melodious female voice emitted a strange tone, filled with suggestive connotations.
This was Green Ivy’s excited cry because it had finally obtained a blood meal after a long time!
In the body, a large number of resilient plants became entangled with Lu Ming’s skin.
They crushed, rubbed, and grew sharp thorns, from which many various types of plant toxins oozed.
As long as the thorns pierced Lu Ming’s skin, Green Ivy was absolutely confident that she could devour him completely!
The idea was excellent and the strategy was clear.
There was only one thing…
The lethality of this Green Ivy was not quite up to par.
Cracking sounds continued to emanate from Lu Ming’s body.
It was the sound produced by the friction between the plants and the Divine Fire Shield.
“The lethality can be compared to Li De’s.”
“But it’s not Li De’s Yang Spirit Finger. It’s just Li De’s regular punches and kicks, without the accompanying spiritual power…”
In other words, it was at the eighth or ninth level of the Spirit Realm.
If it were Lu Ming after leaving the Flame Clan Ruin, then the Green Ivy’s attacks would still be somewhat lethal to Lu Ming.
But now, Lu Ming’s physical strength had almost doubled again, and his Body Protection Techniques had also been upgraded.
This made the Green Ivy’s attacks seem rather insignificant.
“What a pity.”
“A pity….I thought you were the kind of guy I could communicate with. It would save me the effort of fighting.”
A faint voice sounded from inside the Green Ivy, causing her laughter to subside.
She increased her strength, but still could not do anything to Lu Ming.
Until a swelling feeling surged from within.
Inside her body, Lu Ming’s voice echoed again.
“I can only say that monsters are monsters. Humans don’t have intentions to harm tigers, but tigers harm humans!”
“In that case, I think it’s necessary for me to deal with you in the way I dislike the most but am best at!”
With those words, the features of the Green Ivy instantly froze.
It could clearly be seen that the Green Ivy’s body began to rapidly expand, as if something was growing and strengthening in its body!
This speed of expansion was fierce and unstoppable! It caused the Green Ivy to shatter completely before it could even react!
Boom!
It exploded into pieces.
The huge explosion even made the entire research inst.i.tute shake three times.
When the dust dissipated and settled, the green ivy’s figure had completely disappeared, leaving behind only a terrifying and grotesque monster!
It stood nearly thirty meters tall, with three heads and six arms, like a deity from mythology.
Its tough bones formed an exoskeleton armor on the outside, not only covering its body, but even growing a bony mask on its face.
Ferocious thorns extended from its back, like swords pointing towards the sky.
This was Lu Ming in his Explosive State!
He turned his head slightly to the right and a deep voice boomed from Lu Ming’s mouth.
“Laboratory Four, Laboratory Three, then Laboratory Two… Laboratory One…”
“Mm—”
“Laboratory One should be the target of my trip.”
“Then…”
After muttering this, Lu Ming instantly exerted strength in his legs and rushed forward, causing a more intense explosion!
The Dream Source looked at the screen with a solemn expression.
Lu Ming’s ferocious appearance in his Explosive State made the Dream Source mutter involuntarily, “What is this thing?!”
Before he could get an answer, another roar exploded in his ears.
The entire laboratory immediately lit up with red alarm lights, and the voice of the Crimson Queen suddenly rang out, “That guy broke through the walls and reached Laboratory Four.”
“Laboratory Four has no biological guardians. It has undergone deep fusion transformation with Laboratory Two.”
There was another loud “boom.”
“He shattered the wall again and arrived at Laboratory Three. The name of the Laboratory Three project is…”
“Boom!”
“He once again…”
“Boom, boom, boom!”
Tremors.
The entire research inst.i.tute was shaking violently!
The speed of the Crimson Queen’s speech could not keep up with Lu Ming’s advancing pace!
“He…”
“Boom!”
This booming sound echoed in the Dream Source’s ears.
It turned around and saw that the solid wall on its right had completely shattered. A powerful monster almost reaching the ceiling was holding two strange objects and slowly approaching it.
In his left hand was a humanoid corpse, with its muscles swollen and contorted, and it bore a resemblance to Lu Ming in his normal state.
This was Project Three, an experimental subject created to push the limits of physical strength—Codenamed “Extreme Dao”!
“Squish,” a splatter of juice burst out.
Extreme Dao was crushed by Lu Ming.
In Lu Ming’s right hand, he held a humanoid creature covered in sharp blades from head to toe.
Project Four: “Soldier.”
It was created by fusing flesh and steel materials together, a half-human, half-weapon killing machine!
The Soldier also held a long saber in its hand.
It was Project Two, the “G.o.d Slaying Blade”!
Created for the purpose of killing G.o.ds, it was the supreme divine weapon (in an incomplete version).
“Grind, grind.”
Lu Ming slowly rubbed his right hand.
So, the Dream Source could see that the Soldier and the G.o.d Slaying Blade in Lu Ming’s hand were quickly ground into a lump by Lu Ming.
It was like a plate of walnuts… Lu Ming leisurely polished away the edges and made them smooth, round, cute…
Until there was a loud “snap”.
The Soldier and the G.o.d Slaying Blade were thrown to the ground by Lu Ming.
They had transformed into completely round shapes, smooth, clean, neat, beautiful, and shining brightly.
They were intertwined, one within the other, finally achieving the deepest fusion.
“Oh, you must be Project One.”
Lu Ming did not even glance at those low-level projects. He just strode towards the Dream Source.
As he walked, he said,
“1 have to say, the projects on your side are really not up to par…”
