Lord of Illusions City

Chapter 72 Fantastic State

Chapter 11 Breakthrough

Li Chenzhou had forced his way out of the long mine shaft, but while the enemies before had been numerous, they had at least been confined to the tunnel. And because Li Chenzhou had fought his way up from the bottom, the number of enemies he faced had been limited.

But once he leaped out of the mine shaft, all the creatures gathered around would pounce on him at the same time.

If Li Chenzhou were in his normal state, he would definitely have chosen to stay in the mine, using the terrain to his advantage to kill all the mutated creatures before going out.

But the current Li Chenzhou was in a rather fantastical state. His mind was incredibly clear, filled with countless pieces of information related to combat, including how to use the long staff, and how to combine various abilities.

He could even clearly sense the positions of the surrounding mutated creatures, and figure out how to kill them with the least amount of effort.

Li Chenzhou knew that his current state should be what Li Yingning had granted him. This should also be why he was called the Instructor, and the more he could gain in this state, the stronger he should become.

He didn't know when this state would disappear, so he didn't hesitate much. With a ferocious look on his face, he rushed out of the mine shaft with a roar!

In an instant, all the humans, insects, mutated beasts, and zombies around rushed towards Li Chenzhou. They came from all directions, even from the air. There was no blind spot except for the ground beneath his feet.

"Ha!"

Li Chenzhou shouted, the long staff in his hand danced like the wind, creating a mountain of staff shadows under the moonlight. The creatures that rushed up, no matter what they were, were all killed by his long staff. Even the miners wearing helmets had their helmets and heads shattered.

Under the starry sky, Li Chenzhou was like a war god, not only using his staff to kill the creatures around him, but also using ducks, chickens, and other creatures that had not mutated and posed no threat to him to block the attack routes of other mutated creatures.

Moreover, he would occasionally take out the pistol placed in the killing space to make up for any gaps. He would even suddenly disappear, then reappear several meters away, starting a new round of attacks.

This was the skill he had almost never used since obtaining it – Fatal Assault!!!

Li Chenzhou was taking advantage of his current state, similar to enlightenment or possession, to improve his combat abilities. Fatal Assault was his skill, so of course he could use it. And the timing of his skill assault just now was precisely the moment after he had smashed a group of mutated creatures in front of him, and he was about to be attacked by mutated creatures behind him.

This skill not only allowed him to instantly escape danger, but also allowed him to leave the most densely populated area of mutated creatures. The timing was perfect.

Originally, because the attack target suddenly disappeared, all the mutated creatures in Li Chenzhou's original location paused for a moment. With their current intelligence, they naturally couldn't understand why such a large person would suddenly disappear.

However, the zombies and humans behind them did not stop, and continued to pounce forward, immediately crashing into the zombies or humans in front, causing chaos.

The insects and birds swooping down from the air also caused chaos. Their target was naturally Li Chenzhou, but after Li Chenzhou disappeared, the position was filled by other mutated creatures, so their attacks naturally fell on those mutated creatures.

The creatures besieging Li Chenzhou included humans, zombies, insects, mutated beasts, and other mutated creatures. These mutated creatures were not originally on the same side. Humans and zombies were natural enemies, and mutated beasts liked to treat both zombies and humans as food.

Before, under some mysterious power, these mutated creatures had all rushed towards Li Chenzhou, without interfering with each other. But now, although that mysterious power had not disappeared, many mutated beasts were being attacked by their own "allies."

They didn't care if it was friendly fire. The most unlucky ones in the middle, who were being hit by their "comrades" from behind and attacked by the "allied forces" from the air, immediately fought back after realizing they had become the target of the attack.

But they couldn't tell who was attacking them, so they grabbed anyone and started biting.

A woodpecker, because it swooped down too hard, directly pierced its hard beak into a zombie's neck. The zombie, who was being treated like a tree, was furious, grabbed the woodpecker, crushed its body, and stuffed it into its own mouth!

A rat, seeing stars after being hit by a helmet, looked up and immediately saw a huge nose, so it bit it without saying a word, followed by a miserable scream.

The one whose nose was bitten was a miner wearing a helmet. He had come here under the power of the summoning force, and had been in a state similar to sleepwalking ever since he arrived.

But now, being bitten on the nose, the intense pain actually woke him up. He screamed and grabbed the rat, tearing it away. Then, he discovered in horror that he was actually in a mine shaft, surrounded by all kinds of creatures, and even a duck was quacking at him.

Anyone who woke up in the middle of the night and found themselves not sleeping in bed, but in the wilderness, with countless creatures around, would probably be unable to bear it even if their nose hadn't been bitten, let alone him.

He quickly scrambled to rush into the nearest mine shaft, but a zombie that had been tripped fell heavily in front of him, its eye just happened to fall on a stone, and immediately burst open, half of the broken eyeball hanging out.

The zombie didn't feel any pain at all, and instead stared at him with its remaining eye, roaring fiercely.

"Ah~~! Help~~~!"

The zombie's face was undoubtedly more terrifying than the duck's. Seeing this scene, the miner instantly broke down. The pain from his nose was also clearly telling him that this was not a dream, so he screamed miserably. Then he saw the zombie's face quickly approaching, followed by a sharp pain in his throat...

The miner's dying screams tore through the silence of the night sky, constantly echoing in the mountains, and then drifting into the distance...

Li Chenzhou was not affected by the miner's voice. He had already seen him when he woke up, but he was still continuing his killing!

Rescuing someone in this environment was no different from suicide. Even to protect himself, Li Chenzhou was not 100% sure, because there were too many mutated creatures around.

The reason he rushed out was partly because he knew that his current state couldn't last too long. Although the Instructor said that they could meet next time, who knew when that would be, so he couldn't waste it.

The other reason was that his War Fog could still be used. If he really couldn't hold on, using War Fog plus Fatal Assault would give him a good chance of escaping...
