Chapter 564: Chapter 392: In-Depth Exploration and the End of the Campaign Chapter 564: Chapter 392: In-Depth Exploration and the End of the Campaign The “Giant” had long since perished, yet still towered in these deep Blood Seas. Its corpse was fraught with patches of mold and numerous sections rotting away, with mythical worms as wide as city streets squirming inside it, gnawing away.
On one side of its neck, there also grew a “tumor,” stark and crimson.
However, this “tumor” was essentially a mass of flesh fruit, surrounded by clusters of Rose Flowers, while vines bristling with thorns coiled around the “Giant’s” frame like shackles and seemed to parasitize it.
And that strange glow was radiating from this fruit!
Chen Lun stood at a distance, having blocked his sense of smell, yet suddenly he realized he could “smell” the aroma of knowledge! The bizarre scent that emitted from that fruit bore an intense contamination, intertwined with the Supernatural Knowledge of the Flesh Pathway!
Through continuous prompts from his panel, he knew his Sanity Value was rapidly diminishing.
The Supernatural Knowledge from the Flesh Faction was ceaselessly pouring into his mind!
[Sequence Nine – Butcher], [Sequence Eight – Gourmet], [Sequence Seven – Ghoul], [Sequence Six – Bloodline] and [Sequence Five – Bone Husband]…he grasped them all!
Then, even more arcane and mysterious Mythological Knowledge followed.
Chen Lun felt his brain throbbing slightly, as if the threshold for the knowledge he could withstand was nearly reached. But this time, he decided to grit his teeth and hold on a little longer, trying to acquire more.
Meanwhile, the source of the pollution up ahead was stirring!
The massive worms, plump and bulky, seemed to have detected Chen Lun’s presence. They burrowed out from the corpse of the “Giant” and plunged into the Blood Sea, rapidly swimming towards him.
The worms broke through the water, resembling deep brown stone pillars with ring-shaped patterns, slamming down towards Chen Lun like a torrential downpour. The terrifying déjà vu felt like standing in front of a skyscraper hundreds of stories high, with the towering building poised to topple over you immediately!
Thunderous sounds erupted from the Blood Sea.
Countless waves of blood, some tens or hundreds of meters high, heavily crashing forced Chen Lun to block off his hearing to avoid being disturbed by the loud noises.
To evade these terrifying worms, he had to use Instantaneous Movement several times in a row, just to put enough distance… After all, these worms were simply too enormous! Any single one of them was comparable to the “Fallen Body” previously attacked in collaboration with Kingsberg and other Governing Officers!
Thump! Thump! Thump!!
Chen Lun ceaselessly weaved through this block of space, struggling to dodge the sky-obscuring strikes.
His body inevitably got covered in blood, making him look utterly disheveled.
‘Hold on a little longer…’
Chen Lun clenched his teeth, enduring the increasing headache, fully focused on dodging the worms striking from all directions.
Another two minutes passed.
He finally sensed that a complete set of high-level knowledge had formed in his mind.
Therefore, Chen Lun no longer hesitated and immediately connected with the cabin in the starting area, teleporting away.
The magnificent and terrifying vista of the Blood Sea, the Giant’s corpse parasitized by the flesh fruit and Rose Flowers, and those dauntingly large worms, all vanished from sight. In their place was the quiet and serene interior of the cabin.
Chen Lun exhaled deeply and collapsed onto the wooden bed, his chest and abdomen heaving violently.
Sweat soaked through his clothes, but he paid it no mind, shakingly grabbing two enhanced “Serenity Potions” and “Thirst-quenchers” and gulping them down voraciously.
It took him more than ten minutes to recover afterwards.
Chen Lun struggled to sit up, then began to sort through his gains.
‘Like the previous Reverse Trees and Corpse Mountains’ White Cocoons, from the Blood Sea Giant’s body, I acquired all the Supernatural Knowledge of the middle Sequences in the Flesh Pathway…’
A faint smile appeared on his pale face.
‘Moreover, unlike the previous times, I obtained a complete piece of Mythological Knowledge! [Sequence Four – Sin Eater], that’s the Sequence Lafa is in!’
This was the only complete high-level knowledge he had mastered so far.
Following that, Chen Lun checked the expenses of this trip.
Recently, players had been busy participating in the Blood Battle, hardly entering the Immortal Realm to delve, resulting in a sharp decline in the efficiency of harvesting Sanity Points… His reserves, which had just recovered to over 9000, had plummeted to around 6000.
‘But all this is worth it, after all, the knowledge of Flesh concerning Sequences Six, Five, and the high-level Sequence Four had never been mastered by me…’
He seemed to recall something else, and sighed.
‘Unfortunately, my current Sub Occupation [Recorder] can’t copy knowledge above Mid Sequences, otherwise I could use this to duplicate those precious pieces of Supernatural Knowledge in my mind, exchanging them for more resources to enhance myself.’
In his previous life, Chen Lun belonged to a too low level, never encountering higher-level Sub Occupations.
But he knew that this world definitely possessed powers capable of duplicating Supernatural Knowledge above Mid Sequences… otherwise, the transmission of knowledge by major powers and the few advanced books that circulated outside couldn’t possibly exist.
‘I’ll ask the Speaker about it when he returns…’
He then exited the Immortal Realm and took a brief rest in the present world.
Late that night, he entered again.
This time, he started at the easternmost part of the Crystal Mountain Range from the top of the Ivory Tower and ventured deep from east to west.
