Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 986: Chapter 304: Devil Leech and Corrupt Human Mushroom

“General, the cipher of this room is not difficult to crack. However, the trouble lies in the high level of authorization required, which seems to be a bloodline authority restriction or perhaps an exclusive item authority restriction. Unless we can find specific ‘authorization items,’ such as identity cards or something of the sort, cracking it could take a long time,”

“Go and ask our people below if anyone has found anything like that in the Relics.”

“Right, is it possible to force it open?”

“Nearly impossible. I used a tier seven ‘Cutting Card’ and couldn’t leave even a scratch on this door, not to mention the whole room is made of some special alloy coupled with ancient restrictions. I estimate it would take at least tier nine Spells to possibly break the restriction on the door…”

“…”

After the initial excitement, everyone was immediately hit with a cold dose of reality.

They couldn’t open the cipher door of the room, which meant they would be stuck here for a considerable period of time.

Legion Commander Heman looked on with furrowed brows.

But he couldn’t think of any other solution either.

Since Toad was sure that there was likely a “jar” here, they absolutely wouldn’t give up.

The members of the Thorny Snake Corps gathered around the Central Control Room, pondering how to open the door, but just then, the tier seven Voodoo Master Hester suddenly sensed something and her expression turned grim: “Something’s not right, there’s something in the water!”

This reminder jolted everyone awake and they all turned their gaze to the water.

Only then did they notice something was off.

Some semi-transparent creatures had appeared in the water at some unknown time.

“Hey, Luo, what’s that worm stuck on your neck? Let me pull it off for you. What’s the matter, it won’t come off?”

“Mark, it looks like you have one on your arm, too. No, there’s one on your neck and legs…”

“Damn it, what is this thing, and how did it get inside my armor? Help me get it off.”

“No good! These leeches have paralysis poison; they’re frantically bloodsucking!”

“…”

The lighting in the research institute was already dim with very low visibility.

The leeches were like chameleons, changing color with the environment.

By the time people noticed, each person already had several leeches quietly attached to them.

The trouble was they were like mosquitoes, not felt at all when they bit.

By the time people realized there was a problem, the leeches had already injected their toxin and drawn a lot of blood.

The others, still unaware of the severity of the situation, were busily looking for leeches attached to them.

At that moment, the Voodoo Master ‘Black Widow’ Hester also picked off a worm and looked at it carefully.

It was an inconspicuous leech, but once severed, not only was its blood highly corrosive, the cut body halves were still wriggling, and the wounds were visibly healing at the naked eye.

In an instant, one worm became two!

Just like cloning, they were identical.

Upon witnessing this, her expression drastically changed: “Careful, these are ‘Abyss Devil Leeches’!”

These were ancient magical worms capable of draining a Great Dragon dry.

Monsters that had been thought extinct were here!

Breaking Strong, Armor Piercing, splitting and regenerating, nearly immortal.

In large numbers, they posed a deadly threat even to top-tier powerhouses!

Saying this, even the tier seven powerhouse’s face looked as if she had just seen a ghost, as if predicting some terrible outcomes, she urgently called out: “Quick! Everyone get out!”

….

Seeing even the toxin expert Hester taking the situation so seriously, Legion Commander Heman and everyone else immediately realized the grim situation.

Not sure if because of the raised voices or something else, but the semi-transparent worms that were initially stealthily moving in the water suddenly lit up with fluorescence.

They went berserk, swarming towards everyone in the Relics.

In an instant, the water up to their waists and thighs seemed to glow with fluorescence.

At a closer look, innumerable worms, coming from who knows where, were swarming from all directions in the water towards everyone there.

A wave of terror spread through the crowd in an instant.

“Ah… Damn it! How can there be so many worms!”

“Help me! Somebody save me!”

“Can’t kill them, they are indestructible!”

“…”

Almost in an instant, the green fluorescence started to fill the entire pool.

The Adventurers who were too slow to react were swarmed by hundreds, if not thousands, of leeches climbing all over them.

From seemingly harmless, they became deadly killers in an instant.

The worms easily bit through Protective Gang Air, Curse Seals, and even dragon scales, bloodsucking frenziedly.

Everyone immersed in the water was surrounded by the worms, undying and unshakeable, each worm on them as if slashing open a gaping wound, blood gushing out.

In just a few moments, the bodies of lower-tier card masters could be seen visibly shriveling up.

Sounds of “splash, splash” of bodies continuously falling into the water filled the air.

Once someone fell into the water, they would be enveloped in the green glow in a blink, the worms pouring into their bodies through mouth and nose, leaving no chance of survival.

Even surrounded by other people, no one could help, as everyone was too preoccupied with their own plight.

The large research facility on the second floor, with thousands of people, was filled with an unceasing chorus of screams and cries of agony.

….

“Physical damage is useless, use fire! Alchemy salt, alchemy salt works!”

“I don’t have any left, who has extra alchemy salt, please save me… ”

“Quick! Use fire, deplete the Elements of water!”

“…”

The Adventurers tried every possible method, but physical means were almost completely ineffective.

Even if the leeches were sliced into dozens of pieces by Sword Air, those pieces of leech could still survive, instantly turning back into new living entities.
