Chapter 599: Thoroughly Mad

Countdown, 1 hour 07 minutes.

Explosions, madness, shouts, howls.

On the battlefield, no sane humans can be seen.

A week ago, they were still trained soldiers, ordinary people, perhaps many farmers who tilled the land.

But at this moment, they are mad ascetic practitioners.

They turned into monsters, wave after wave, launching a death charge against the blood corpses.

Like a sharp dagger, they stab toward the corpse tide.

Even the unflappable, stone-like old-era ascetic practitioners find it hard to remain sane under this high-intensity slaughter.

Eyes blood-red, the desire to kill fills the mind.

People constantly fall into utter madness, and constantly others are promoted again.

Regarding this.

Lin An felt nothing special.

The transformation of all ascetic practitioners has progressed to 77%.

Purely in terms of manpower, the human side's strength is not inferior to the blood corpse army accumulated over hundreds of years.

"Lin Dui, there's still one last stretch!"

"Should we let those people go up?!"

"I see many newly promoted ascetic practitioners starting to go mad! They really are mad!"

Eyelids twitching wildly.

Zhang Tie wiped a handful of blood grime from his face, his chest heaving rapidly.

As the vanguard of the battlefield, he almost single-handedly tore open the front corpse tide.

Under continuous high-intensity combat, just the bear transformation and earthquake abilities have been activated seven or eight times.

Fortunately his physique was strengthened to the limit, otherwise he would have died from exhaustion.

"Wait a bit longer!"

Lin An, without turning his head, stared fixedly and gave the order in a low voice.

In his eyes was only that hint of azure in the corpse tide, a building full of technological feel.

Of course.

He also knew what Zhang Tie wanted to say.

Nothing more than the drug taken by the newly promoted ascetic practitioners has shown the anticipated problem.

After taking the drug.

Large numbers of newly promoted ascetic practitioners are not just emotionally mad; their brains really broke.

Pressured by the "production speed" being too slow, Lin An simply made the drug's source public, letting them obtain and take the drug themselves.

And the drug's manufacturing method is also very simple.

Directly cutting out the brain's pituitary gland, after slight refinement, it becomes crystals containing excitatory effect.

In other words, the soldiers already know they are "eating people".

But the arrow is on the bow; it cannot be withheld.

Knowing full well the truth, they, to survive, can only force down the crystals without any refinement, suppressing the fear in their hearts.

Obviously.

Side effects are huge; many who took the crystals became ascetic practitioners, but most suffer memory confusion and loss of reason.

It seems the crystals contain not only endorphins but also the soul-will of humans at death.

There are losses and gains.

After making this information public, as the number of transformed ascetic practitioners increased, Lin An unexpectedly discovered that he had actually completed the task of the She Sha Mystery.

After a little thought, he also understood the reason.

The information about She Sha, in the Great Xia Library he browsed, had only a few clues.

That is, in myth and legend, a serpentine deity that bites its own tail, mutually devouring.

Cycle, self-eating.

That is the answer to the She Sha Mystery.

So when large numbers of humans began to mutually devour each other in disguise, this task was deemed completed.

Blood corpses eat people, people eat people, and now it has evolved into humans "eating" blood corpses.

A perfect cycle has been born.

Probably even the system didn't expect Lin An to complete the task by such brutal means, "coincidentally".

121 kilometers...

97 kilometers..

53...

29...

Huge noise and blood corpse roars fill the eardrums.

Viewed from high altitude.

When the entire army, like a thin, tenacious tentacle, stabs into the last distance of the corpse tide, Lin An moved.

The front line is already on the verge of collapse.

Penetrating to such distance relies entirely on the continuous stream of newly promoted ascetic practitioners.

Meanwhile, the rear continuously sends up newly promoted ordinary people, who act like a major artery supplying blood.

The ascetic practitioners on the Frontline have already gone through four or five rounds.

Those who survived the blood corpses' siege are also in a state of mental disorder.

People constantly rush into the corpse tide in the frenzied slaughter, only to die repeatedly.

"Now!"

"117 elite ascetic practitioners, coordinating with the top ten echelon, launch a collective strike!"

At the command, the hundred-strong unit of ascetic practitioners in full set of Equipment, which had never been used collectively, instantly broke away from the troops and followed Lin An's steps.

In midair, the 117 ascetic practitioners wielding Cain's Blade and activating Demonic Form instantly erupted with all their energy, forming a conical shape and began to charge.

"Launch the destruction skill collectively! Target, Deep Blue!"

Over a hundred figures emanating destruction aura gradually accelerated, their combined momentum continually stacking and rising.

Using the destruction skill to launch a charge, they struck toward the core depths.

Each use of the destruction skill can forcibly accelerate to supersonic speed for 3 kilometers; theoretically after seven times they can reach the core.

The vast number of blood corpses seemed to realize that the hundred-person squad ahead wanted to break through their blockade.

In a moment, all the blood corpses of the attacking armies turned around and piled up at all costs, attempting to form a corpse wall.

The launch ports opened, and over ten million strikes of firepower blanketed the sky like a meteor shower.

Piercing whistles and burning flame tails filled the battlefield.

"Want to block me?!"

"Dream on!"

At the forefront of the charge formation, Lin An, eyes firm, gripped his sword, took a deep breath, and his ever-accelerating figure, like lightning, led the ascetic practitioner squad into the barrage.

"Celestial Human Form!"

"Sword Net!"

Holy gold spirit energy suddenly erupted, and time seemed to slow down.

Within the assault team formed of deep red aura, this dazzling white light stood out exceptionally vivid.

The mental power at full strength turned into telekinesis controlling the alloy long sword.

Coordinating with the weapons simultaneously controlled by the hundred-person squad behind.

In an instant, a wildly bursting silver giant sword net appeared before the squad.

"Ding ding ding ding-"

Sword blades struck the metal shell.

"Boom!!"

Continuous explosion sounds echoed across the sky.

After blasting apart the shells of the incoming missiles, they cleared a blank space in an extremely short time.

The missiles blasted in midair instantly exploded, and the strong airflow and Shockwave turned into chaotic flames.

In a firepower net like a death zone, they forcibly cleared a brief aerial passage.

"Charge!!"
