Facing such a vile situation, Sheyan took a deep breath. This moment …... should be the best opportunity to execute that move! No matter how powerful the world's suppression was, a dark-gold grade equipment was still no trifling matter!
Moreover, the formidable Growth-hunter Reef didn't disappoint him. Amidst the stacking agony of the venom injected into the 4 mutated Arachnidacrabs, Reef released a muffled roar. A dazzling radiance suddenly flashed out from his shield, as though it was tearing apart the air!
That radiance …... was so intense it seemed like it could scorch one's eyeballs!
An indescribably dazzling radiance exploded out from Reef's shield, as it frantically refracted across the entire wooden house. This dazzling radiance wasn't as majestic as the sun, yet it persisted for a long time. Simultaneously, it affected and occupied the retinas of all nearby creatures with eyes. Like an arrow, a thrusting spear, it frantically refracted! The temperature of the radiance was so scorching that it directly ignited the wooden house. Scarlet flames roared and soared, igniting the entire house in a flash.
The radiance disappeared as quickly as it appeared, and merely lasted for 2-3 seconds before vanishing! After activating this ability, the blazing sun shaped shield in Reef's hand shrunk by a notch, as though it was the base of a washbasin …... pitch-black and rather unsightly. Actually, describing its current appearance as' unsightly 'was an exaggeration. It was just that its previous appearance was excessively cool, and now, it appeared as though it was plucked out of craziness.
In a flash, every mutated Arachnidacrabs that approached Reef were instantly annihilated! Their entire bodies were ignited, as the orange flames incinerated their carapaces, causing crackling noises. They slumped limply to the ground, their eight claws twitching and curling up, as an unbearable stench wafted out from their bodies. If they were sprinkled with cumin and peppercorns, they would be no different from roasted pork ribs on a barbeque rack …... As for the remaining 2-3 survivors, those who couldn't move were twitching, while those who could still move had lost their will to fight due to their fear and agony. They burrowed back into the ground and fled.
This was the most powerful explosive ability of Reef's dark-gold grade shield! A blinding light.
[Blasts of Scorching Sun Crystals out of the shield in an instant, dealing an astonishing AOE damage to the wielder within 10 meters of the wielder. This damage will deal Fire damage equal to the wielder's Stamina x 10, and the wielder will be blinded for 10 seconds (blinding effect will disappear after being attacked).] If this ability was used in a narrow and sealed space (such as a room), half of the scorching sun crystals would refract and cause secondary damage to the enemy.
Instead, Reef instantly collapsed to the ground. Even though he was an incomparably powerful Growth-Hunter, even though he was an innately powerful MT, he absolutely couldn't withstand the siege of four monstrous beasts at 'B' difficulty. In a flash, the horrifying poison spread throughout Reef's entire body. His skin quickly turned purplish black. In the face of such an incomparably potent paralyzing poison, Reef gritted his teeth and dug his fingers deep into the wooden planks on the ground. His body twitched incessantly. Finally, his brain determined that his nerves wouldn't be able to withstand such agony. Hence, it shut down in a protective manner, causing him to sink into a deep coma; entering into a vegetative state similar to Mogensha's. Mogensha's, Reef's, Mogensha's.
Strictly speaking, Reef's various abilities weren't inferior to Sheyan's in any way. However, his greatest shortcoming, was the word 'precedence'! Regardless of personal ability or innate ability, they would always be suppressed by other higher priority abilities during crucial moments. Based on this point, the most direct observation was that if Sheyan was simultaneously bitten by four mutated Arachnidacrabs, he wouldn't have sunk into such an awkward state of losing control over his body.
After entering the core region of the Kijuju Marshland, Party Ace, which had already lost two members, had lost yet another member. Such a situation was completely out of Sheyan's expectations. After being stunned for a brief moment, Sheyan started searching carefully. He discovered that those mutated Arachnidacrabs didn't drop any keys. It seemed like those keys were merely minor characters in the core region of the Kijuju Marshland.
Sheyan then recalled the notification before entering this world – 'The risks you undertake may not be proportionate to the rewards'. Then it would really come true, making you unable to voice out your bitterness!
At this moment, he truly had no other choice. What else could he do? First, he had to send Reef back to the safety of the nightmare realm. Indeed, the current Sheyan didn't possess the strength to challenge an 'A +' difficulty. Now that he had learned from this painful experience, he reckoned this hidden world was prepared for an official Growth-Hunter party.
At present, another slave left behind by Reef had disappeared amidst the chaos. Most likely, he had been dragged away by the cocoon canister. Thus, only two could move, and one was bitten unconscious. Instead, Mbenga remained unscathed.
At present, the house ignited by the 'Glaring Radiance' had already ignited other buildings, causing the blaze to intensify. Sheyan knew that if he didn't hurry and flee, once those Ndipaya barbarians in the core region were alerted, they wouldn't be able to leave even if they wanted to. When that time comes, Party Ace's vice-captain and party leader would meet their demise, and be erased from the realm forever. Even if Brother Black could recover and return, he would once again become a wandering ghost.
Hence, without further ado, Sheyan carried Reef on his back, and ordered the other two slaves to carry the unconscious one. He planned to leave first before anything else.
Yet when Sheyan exited the house, he instantly froze. An indescribable chill rose up from the bottom of his feet, and enveloped his entire body.
Ahead of this abandoned village, above a spacious dam used to dry their prey and feed, was the place Sheyan and gang had just passed through.
Strangely, an additional person had appeared.
According to Sheyan's current perception, he couldn't discern when this person had appeared. In fact, he had a feeling that this person had been there for a long time, and was merely a misconception that he hadn't noticed.
This person's body was stooped, and his face couldn't be discerned clearly. One could only discern that this person's hair was disheveled, resembling a dried bird's nest. Judging from her chest, this person should be a woman. However, her breasts were like two shriveled leather pouches stuck to her ribs, while a grass skirt was hastily wrapped around her lower body.
Not only that, the most distinct feature was that her right hand, which was gripping a wooden staff, was all skin and bones, like a withered bamboo branch. She sat down on a fallen wooden pillar, giving off a very special feeling. It was as if she was a ferocious beast taking a nap in her own lair.
Although she wasn't looking at Sheyan, Sheyan could feel a queer sensation of being dissected. He could even sense that this mysterious person's body was not human at all. Instead, it was as though she was a mummy whose internal organs had been dissected and specially processed. She carried a frenzied thirst for flesh and blood that had been fermented through five thousand years of desiccation.
Sheyan suddenly realized, this was the first female enemy he had encountered since entering the Kijuju Marshland! Using his helmet's ability to scan her, he unexpectedly received a monotonous name – Plaga Host Type I. The rest were all '???!'
Sheyan breathed deeply, and gripped his' + 7 West '! At present, he still had a sliver of hope. That was, he could betray his companions and advance instead of retreating; directly rushing into the depths of the Kijuju Marshland! Yet how long could he prolong his feeble existence by doing so? After entering this core region, he had already encountered so many dangers. If he continued advancing, not mentioning others, just another 7-8 mutated Arachnidacrabs would be utterly unbearable for Sheyan!
Since he couldn't retreat! Then he would advance!
Sheyan deeply believed in this phrase – 'Live to the fullest, die without regrets'. Abandoning this brother of his who had gone through life and death with him countless times, Sheyan couldn't do such a thing. However, if he truly had no other choice, he could only activate his' Unmodified Amnio-tank '.
Time was of the essence. Gazing at the wooden house behind him that had already dyed half the sky red, Sheyan couldn't wait any longer. He directly activated 'Hornrage' and charged towards the inhuman thing in front of him. Yet when Sheyan collided with its body, he suddenly caught a whiff of an indescribable odour; a little fishy, a little rancid stench.
When Sheyan's head collided against its body, he could distinctly hear the sounds of bones breaking. Its shriveled and dehydrated skin appeared as though it would be mercilessly torn apart like paper in the next second.
As usual, borrowing the stun duration of 'Horn-Rage', Sheyan immediately raised his long saber. Under the flickering of his deep blue dagger, he was about to viciously chop down the opponent's body. First, he had to reduce the opponent's movement speed. This wasn't for the sake of pursuing, but for the greater purpose of escaping.
Yet at this moment, Sheyan's vision strangely darkened, as he lost control of his body!
In the next second, he felt an acute pain in his chest, as though his internal organs had been flipped over. Thousands of tiny daggers were stabbing into his insides. His vision was filled with stars. If not for his firm will, he would've fainted from the pain!
Following that, Sheyan felt his chest tighten, as his entire body was lifted up like a sandbag. A stench of sweat and blood assailed his nostrils. Forcefully opening his eyes, he witnessed the other hand of that ghost-like zombie creature reaching over like a withered bamboo. It grabbed onto Sheyan's chest, and was actually trying to force his chest open!

Who could guess what this creature was trying to do? Heh heh?
The answer to this question is rather difficult, those who haven't played Resident Evil 5 wouldn't be able to guess it.
