Chapter 256: Mythical Creature Aura

While Johnson was laying the groundwork for the play about to be staged, the attack by the Partygoers outside also officially began.

Giant cannons with calibers larger than trucks were pushed out from the edge of the flat ground, and rapid charging caused the muzzles to emit light representing the color of destruction.

When this light flashed in the air, a huge explosion sounded on the outer wall of the military base, and the continuous shelling seemed to want to raze this place to the ground.

Under this commotion, the prison guards in the military base raised their heads one after another to look at the outer wall area, and after sensing the shelling that had fallen, they silently moved their attention away from there again.

If it was just this level of shelling, then the attackers were underestimating this military base, which had been superimposed with multiple layers of rules, far too much. A defense line that so many containment objects with strange abilities inside couldn't break through—wanting to break through with simple firepower coverage, they were probably dreaming too much and hadn't woken up yet.

Just as the containment objects inside had expected, after the shelling had lasted for half an hour, the outer wall of the military base still didn't have any major changes; it neither collapsed nor shattered, and there weren't even many damaged areas.

The area that was the only one to show cracks began to emit faint black mist, and under the shroud of this mist, the outer wall rapidly underwent some unknown change.

The Indestructible Lizard roared with dissatisfaction, with countless foul words wanting to spray out from its mouth, but in the end, it still held them back.

Thief! Damn thief! Can steal anything!

The Indestructible Lizard shook its body with dissatisfaction, and under its scales, one by one, widened eyeballs were revealed. This was an adaptive evolution born in the past to prevent the Peanut's lethal attacks. Enough eyes that wouldn't close could very well limit the Peanut in its prime.

This kind of adaptive ability was also stolen by this huge military base. After the rapid changes on the outer wall subsided, strange transparent crystals appeared on the wall body. Passing through these transparent crystals, one could clearly see the cement city wall inside. The appearance of the black mist seemed to be just to put a transparent shell on the outer wall.

After the shelling stalled for a few minutes, the Partygoers adjusted their attack method, strengthened the armor-piercing effect of the energy cannons, and increased the proportion of corrosive energy in the energy cannons. Clearly, the defensive power of this military base exceeded their initial estimates.

A brilliant meteor shower fell in this sky again, however, this time, when the energy cannons hit the outer wall, they were immediately deflected by the invisible shield formed by the transparent crystals and bounced toward the surrounding open space.

Even after the number of shellings increased, quite a few shellings bounced from another direction toward the Partygoers' position.

The assimilation field above the position was immediately activated, assimilating the solidified shelling into harmless energy, which re-entered the energy circulation sequence.

Although there were no large-scale losses due to accidents, the "counterattack" of the military base's outer wall also made the Partygoers realize that simple attacks would have no effect on it.

Next, guided weapons, mass weapons, gravity generators, dissociation rays, and other conventional Partygoer weapons took turns appearing, but they still failed to achieve any relatively good results. The adaptive ability of the outer wall was simply too powerful.

No matter what type of attack, as long as it lasted for a period of time, the outer wall would naturally produce a corresponding defense mode. This made the Partygoers recall the introduction about the cosmic disaster—the Zerg—in their genetic memory. Fortunately, this outer wall was only defensive and never attacked.

After bombarding continuously for a day and a night, the Partygoers stopped this futile effort and cast their gaze toward the ultimate weapon at the rear of the army.

The attacks carried out from the beginning to now were actually a part of the destruction plan. According to the rehearsal of this kind of plan, it was generally to use conventional weapons to disintegrate the target's defensive power, and then use the ultimate weapon for a fatal blow.

But now, conventional weapons seemed to have no effect, so they could only wait for the ultimate weapon to be installed, debugged, and charged.

The Partygoers' such big commotion naturally also attracted the attention of entities in many nearby levels, and they cast their gaze toward this level that had been calm for hundreds of years.

But after confirming that it was a large-scale Partygoer action, most entities gave up the idea of getting to the bottom of it. The actions of the Partygoers in the Backrooms weren't just aimed at wanderers; they had also assimilated quite a few entities. This behavior vaguely made the Partygoers the common enemy of intelligent groups in the Backrooms.

The prerequisite for becoming a common enemy was to have powerful strength, otherwise, becoming a common enemy was impossible; being a clown was about the same.

This was also the reason why most intelligent entities were unwilling to pay attention and directly face the Partygoers.

However, entities were sometimes quite willing to do things like kicking someone when they were down or adding fuel to the fire.

Now who didn't know that the Second Pleasure War had broken out and the Partypoopers and Partygoers were fighting fiercely?

With the Partygoers' style of conduct and reputation, even entities that had nothing to do with the Partypoopers were happy to send the news over. Even if it was just to add trouble to the Partygoers, that was good.

Late at night the next day, with the cooperation of various entities, Frank and Blade, under the name of the Partypoopers, managed to mix directly into the Level 2137 level.

"Be careful... don't get discovered..."

Blade pulled Frank's arm and hid to the side. Not far in front of them floated a smiley face balloon.

This thing was both the symbol of the Partygoers and their observation device, a bit like the existence of a camera.

As long as non-Partygoer life forms appeared in the surroundings, they would be immediately discovered by the smiley face balloon, and then they would be directly targeted by all the Partygoers for a wave.

Frank carefully looked into the distance. The military base in the mountain hollow was still standing very firmly.

Under the Partygoers' "cooperation" for so long, the current military base outer wall had a deflection shield against energy attacks, a magnetic field interference network against guided weapons, and buffer components against mass weapons...

In short, it had become a turtle shell that was hard as could be.

"Johnson might be trapped inside that turtle shell." Frank said in a low voice.

The slightly circling magic force field hid their slight traces. This was the benefit of having a magic expert in the team.

Blade looked up at the bright moon in the sky. This was clearly a fake moon. Like the sun of this level, there were no real celestial bodies, it was just a mapping.

However, since it was a moon, even if it was a mapping, it could be considered the home field of the vampires.

Blade moved slightly, the bloodline in his body switched rapidly, his face became more delicate and more full of temptation than before, and two fangs also extended outside his lips.

After completing the transformation and becoming a high-level vampire, Blade called out the power of the moon in his heart.

Among vampires, there were two mainstream beliefs: one was the Blood God or the original vampire, and the other was the moon. They could borrow extraordinary power from the moon.

It's just that, as the mystery of the moon was destroyed by technology, the latter belief slowly declined, but no matter what, Blade couldn't possibly choose the first one.

In a trance, Blade felt that he had become the moon hanging in the sky, and the scattered moonlight became his every perception.

Under this state, everything under the sky was taken into Blade's eyes.

The Partygoers throwing a party, the smiley face balloons everywhere, other hidden entities observing in the dark, including Frank who was guarding his own body, were all seen very clearly.

Having a full-field map, Blade marked the Partygoers' overt arrangements one by one on the mental map in his heart.

When he pulled his mind back from the moon, Blade looked at the expectant Frank and frowned.

"It's not easy to handle. There are over three hundred smiley face balloons on the periphery of the military base. They have locked down that area, and it's hard to enter without alerting them."

"Moreover, there must still be no low danger inside that base. Wanting to achieve silent infiltration is almost impossible."

Frank felt a bit anxious when he heard this, "Then what to do? The Partypoopers are too far from here, and it takes a certain amount of time to mobilize troops over. I'm just afraid Johnson can't wait until that time!"

"Don't be anxious, let me try first."

Blade pressed his hands on the ground. Under the action of magic power, the soil slowly bulged, and soon a soil puppet of about sixty centimeters appeared on the ground.

Gently cutting his palm, he squeezed out a few drops of fresh blood. After the blood dripped onto the puppet's forehead, the soil puppet was immediately full of vitality.

Under Blade's control, the soil puppet merged into the earth and moved rapidly toward the gate of the military base. Along the way, to ensure concealment, the soil puppet's forward speed was slow as could be.

Fortunately, the time was still considered sufficient, and the Partygoers didn't plan to launch an attack at night.

When the soil puppet reached the military base, a considerable number of floating smiley face balloons in the sky had already stared at the soil puppet in the earth.

They couldn't perceive Blade's magic fluctuations, but they could discover that something was moving under the ground.

"They don't seem to have any intention of attacking?" Frank observed the surroundings, bringing another perspective of information feedback to Blade.

"Hmm, they seem not to care at all whether anyone has entered the battlefield." Blade replied. He felt a deep arrogance from the Partygoers' behavior.

This group of guys seemed to be very confident in their ultimate weapon, believing that as long as the weapon was ready, the military base and the individuals peeping around were all paper tigers.

"Let me try again."

Blade was slightly bolder, directly controlling the soil puppet to drill out of the ground. Now all the smiley face balloons paid attention to this direction.

The soil puppet gave a middle finger to the many smiley face balloons, and then stepped directly into the shimmering, high-tech gate.

Just after entering, not even two seconds later, Blade suddenly felt his magic was countered, and he completely lost control of the soil puppet.

Because things happened too fast, Blade didn't even get to acquire some vague information from the puppet side.

"The danger level is not low, the puppet was instantly killed." Blade opened his eyes and said.

"Withdraw first, and think of other ways." Although Frank really wanted to go in and see if Johnson was really here, he knew even more that acting recklessly would only spoil things.

Military base gate, the Jackalope was crunching on the soil. Ever since the Partygoers had entered from the gate, the Jackalope had started guarding this place.

No way, it had been so many years, and finally a new type of food had appeared.

After gnawing for a while, not waiting for new food, the Jackalope could only eat the residue on the ground along with the floor, and then left the door.

It was almost the prisoners' meal time. Now it was the Jackalope's turn to act as the food delivery person. The Jackalope, which didn't have high intelligence, was still very obedient when it hadn't entered an extremely hungry state.

Whatever the rules in the military base made it do, it did. Anyway, it was just a rabbit, and everything was just going through the motions.

When the Jackalope hopped away, the Peanut, under Johnson's control, followed closely behind the Jackalope.

When the Jackalope was about to reach the front of Johnson's cell, the fragments left by the Peanut in various places in the base played a role. Those fragments clearly perceived that most of the dangerous containment objects were staying safely in their positions without any movement.

Johnson in the cell opened his eyes. Now was the best opportunity to conduct a test.

In the dual vision of Johnson and the Peanut, the Jackalope arrived at the correct position bit by bit. Food and water began to be generated slowly. It wouldn't take a few seconds for this batch of supplies to fall into the cell, and then the Jackalope, having completed the task, would leave.

Just now!

Johnson manipulated the Peanut to launch an attack. With the rapid consumption of spirituality, the Peanut appeared directly beside the Jackalope, and its hands directly pinched the Jackalope's spine.

The Jackalope subconsciously turned its head and took a bite, directly gnawing off a large piece of the Peanut's body, and at the same time, the Peanut's attack also descended. With a crunch, the Jackalope's head turned three hundred and sixty degrees, and it died directly.

While the Peanut began to slowly recover its body, Johnson got off the bed and came to the front of the cell bars. Now the distance between him and the Jackalope was less than one meter.

Diviner Sequence, Mythical Creature Form Aura unfolded!

Mythical Creature Form was a posture like the true body that could be manifested after every path reached a certain sequence. Generally, it could only be used with restrictions after becoming a demigod at Sequence 4, but before this, if one had a certain understanding of one's own sequence, one could also emit a part of the Mythical Creature Form's aura.

Johnson's spirituality was flashing rapidly all over his body, and a phantom similar to a Spirit Worm appeared illusorily on his body.

Under the gaze of this phantom, the dead Jackalope corpse began to be rapidly polluted, undergoing strange changes.

The aura released by Sequence 5 had a very poor effect, and most of the time it couldn't exert any effect, but the Jackalope, besides its characteristics as a containment object, was just an ordinary rabbit, so it could still be affected by the aura.

However, wanting to completely transform the Jackalope into a polluted creature also required quite a bit of time. The shielding effect of the cell was still playing a role, but Johnson actually didn't need to completely transform it.

What the Plague Doctor hated was the plague, and what he killed were life forms infected by the plague. It didn't require this plague to develop to a certain degree in the life form.

The first point Johnson was confirming now was that the Jackalope would be polluted by the aura he unfolded, and that was enough. ===== CHAPTER 257 =====
