I absorb everything in the United States

Pit No. [-] is an L-shaped terrain.

Usually when prisoners work, they need to be tied with ropes and slide all the way down from the hole above to the mine tunnel at the bottom that leads deep.

But when Yassen came to the cave entrance, he found that there was no need to use the rope.

The surging red water just reached the level of the cave entrance and stopped. The water surface was calm, like a red mirror. As long as you dive down, you can reach the wall in question.

And coincidentally, there are several cans of diving oxygen bottles scattered near the entrance of the cave, which should be leftover from previous dive missions sent by M.O.D.O.K.

Yassen walked to the diving bottle, touched the bottle, and the panel popped out.

[Name: AIM special diving bottle]

[Special effect: When you are in liquid, you can obtain underwater breathing state for one hour. 】

[Note: Promise me to cherish time, because it is your precious life. 】

After absorbing the characteristics, Yasen came to the entrance of the cave and started doing warm-up exercises. Then he stabbed directly into the cold water, splashing red water.

The scene underwater is far more lively than on the shore.

The corpses floating in the water were so densely packed that they happened to be concentrated at almost the same height. They were neither up nor down, with their hair flying and their eyes hanging open.

They were all the prisoners and a few guards who had no time to escape when the red water broke out.

Yasen carefully swam past them and continued to dive, while watching the green digital countdown in the upper right corner of his field of vision shrink.

00:53:21

This is the rest of his time underwater.

suddenly.

Yassen noticed a lone dead prisoner in the corner, his mouth seemed to be opening little by little.

How could a dead man open his mouth?

Yassen opened his eyes wide, carefully stepped back to a safe distance, and then looked at the prisoner carefully.

The skin is swollen, the eyes are as white as pearls in a scallop, and the pale lips are indeed slowly opening.

A red fur ball spit out from the open mouth and swam towards Yasen quickly and flexibly.

Yasen felt sick in his heart, raised his right hand, and aimed at the fur ball.

puff!

The bullet was invisible and turned into a torrent in the water, perfectly penetrating the fur ball and taking away its life.

Yasen carefully got closer and saw the prototype of this thing...

It is a frog-like creature, but smaller than a normal frog. It has three vertical pupils on its head and has sharp teeth like a piranha in its mouth.

Because it moved forward by rolling in the water, the red mane growing on its back rotated together, causing Yassen to mistake it for a fur ball.

Yasen cautiously stayed away from the fur ball, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat, "If this thing came out of a corpse, does that mean..."

Yassen trembled and looked at the area of ​​corpses above his head.

Those cystic drowned people's ears, noses, mouths... wherever there are holes, hair balls are pouring out like crazy, as if they have been parasitizing the inside of the corpse.

More red-haired frogs were pressing towards him, like a rain of frogs falling from the sky, but there was no way to escape.

"Oops, it's a turtle in a urn."

Yasen looked at the wave of creatures gushing towards it, knowing that there was no chance of returning the same way, so he could only turn around immediately and swim desperately towards the mine tunnel.

Chased by an overwhelming tide of frogs, he soon reached the end of the mine tunnel——

A huge stone wall full of cracks.

The red water flowed out from here, and then quickly burst out and filled the entire No. [-] mine.

Yassen took out the mechanical heart and was stunned when he saw the guiding light.

The target position was still about 200 meters away from him, and the frogs behind him were so close that there was no time at all!

Yasen was a little desperate, holding his heart with one hand, and shooting at the frog tide with a gun with the other hand.

A dozen torrents shot into the frog tide, but it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.Now even if Nagatlin uses all his firepower, he cannot extinguish their momentum.

The frog tide is coming fiercely, but just at the moment it is about to engulf Yasen...

They stopped.

It's like there is an invisible wall blocking the way between humans and frogs.

"what happened?"

Yasen opened his eyes and looked around in confusion, "Are they... afraid of me?"

No, if you were afraid of me, you wouldn't have chased me just now.

Are you afraid of this mechanical heart? !

Yassen grabbed the mechanical heart and plucked up the courage to move closer.

really.

When grabbing the heart, with every step forward, those strange creatures took a step back, as if they were very afraid of the gift given by the outsider.

As if this is some kind of token that symbolizes identity.

After seeing that the crisis was temporarily resolved, Yassen returned to the stone wall, holding up his heart while hardening his muscles, punching directly to crack the stone wall, and then digging out the stones.

Digging with bare hands!

The gravel is flying, and relying on the speed bonus of the iron pickaxe, Yasen is gradually approaching the target.

But the closer you get, the more difficult it becomes to dig, because there is rock and soil contaminated by the power of chaos everywhere, and its hardness is comparable to diamond.

It took a full three and ten minutes for Yasen to open the tunnel and see the true form of the artifact that Pioneer Technology had been dreaming of.

The black branches are deeply embedded in the hard ore, and are only as long as a small arm. The withered bark is constantly seeping red sap, and the source is endless, and eventually it surges into a violent flow of red water that is enough to flood the mine!

Yassen grabbed the branch and the panel flashed by.

[Name: The remaining branches of the World Tree (unabsorbed characteristics)]

[Special Effect: Anything thrown will definitely hit the target, once a day. 】

[Remarks: This item has the same origin as the handle of the Eternal Spear Gangnir, but after being touched by some beings, it was corroded by the power of chaos, and its divinity was greatly reduced. 】

【Yes/No Absorption】

"It's a defective product, what a pity."

Yasen shook his head. As soon as he took away the characteristics, he heard the bombardment of water waves outside, creating circles of ripples.

Yassen looked along the tunnel he dug and saw those fur balls exploding one after another. Thick frog blood, purer than red water, floated towards him.

Without the divine blessing of the branches, everything began to fall apart.

Yassen glanced at the underwater activity time.

00:07:21

"I should leave too."

Yasen twisted his body and turned into a dragon swimming in the water. He swam in the bloody water and soon reached the bottom of the corpse tide.

Then he looked up and saw a scene he would never forget...

They also exploded, like brilliant fireworks in the sky, with organs and flesh flying everywhere.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come."

Yasen covered his ears and nose, trying to prevent the broken pieces from entering, and rushed forward with all his strength.

The rotten corpse water flowed into the nasal cavity, and the acid water surged in the stomach. Yasen suppressed the urge to vomit and kept going straight up.

Whoa!

As soon as he got out of the water, Yassen heard the intertwined gunfire echoing in the air. The sound of precise shooting was in sharp contrast with the sound of random shooting.

After all, the guards of Pioneer Technology are professionals who have received rigorous training, and they have begun to overcome their numerical disadvantage and suppress the prisoners' riots.

If no one intervenes, this riot will fail.

"Forget it, let's help again, just in time to try out the new features."

Yasen took a deep breath, raised the World Branch in his hand, pointed it in the direction of the White Nest, and made preparations for throwing.

Although this branch had its properties absorbed by Yasen, it still did not become an ordinary mortal object and still retained some divinity.

Yasen took a step, and the rock and soil under his feet shattered inch by inch. The muscles of his arms grew stronger, and the black "spear" flew out from his palm.

moment!

Brilliant!

The dark cave suddenly became as bright as day, as if a sun was falling towards the white nest!
