Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 730: Section 725 - Unfamiliar Environment

"Damn it! Hiss!~"

Chen Fei suddenly opened his eyes, but involuntarily inhaled sharply.

From head to toe, every part of him hurt. He wanted to move his body but was completely immobilized. His limbs, waist, abdomen, chest, back, and neck were tightly wrapped in dense white fine threads.

Just then, a bunch of sinister-looking tentacles with a faint fishy-sweet smell rushed towards his face, causing Chen Fei to jump in fright.

"What the hell?"

As if by reflex, the "Dragon Guard" assault-type single soldier tactical armor enveloped his entire body in an instant. Evolved from the inside out, it also underwent tremendous pressure from the threads winding around his body, creating a continuous creaking noise.

Keep in mind, this was armor that not even firearms could easily penetrate, yet these threads were visibly straining it.

The tentacles, nevertheless, wrapped around the "Dragon Guard" tactical helmet with unquestionable certainty, continuously scratching, trying to find a gap to penetrate.

Could it be... this is parasitism!

Chen Fei's scalp tingled with numbness, lucky that he had woken up quickly. Had it been a tad later, he would have become a walking corpse.

He desperately wanted to detonate a "Dragon Slayer Missile" right then and there, No! It wasn't the worst-case scenario yet.

The boss had given him a thousand "Dragon Slayer Missiles." If he launched a wave of spectacular fireworks, his life would not have been a waste, having come into this world with such a bang.

"Jiu..."

He faintly heard the familiar chirping. It was Xiao Jiu's sound.

Because of their constant company, Chen Fei could accurately distinguish Xiao Jiu's chirping from that of the many Pure Light Sparrows.

His heart tightened. Had Little Bird been captured as well?

But considering the Pure Light Sparrow's small size, even if the Parasitic Species wanted to infest it, they would probably find it beyond their strength. If they were to treat it as food, it likely wouldn't even suffice to get stuck between their teeth!

Chen Fei harbored a sliver of hope, not wanting the little one to encounter any danger.

His pupils instantaneously turned a fragmented gold, as the Eyes of Tyranny unleashed a ferocious murderous intent. His arm muscles bulged, not only causing the "Dragon Guard" single soldier tactical armor to expand from within but also fiercely tearing at the threads.

A flash of light, "Dragon Guard" was loaded with a large "Ignition (1)" Magic Array, activating Fire Elemental Energy to generate flames, attempting to burn those tenacious threads.

"Squeak!~"

The clump of tentacles that clung desperately to Chen Fei's head finally couldn't withstand the heat and was propelled away. It thrashed wildly at a distance, desperately trying to pounce back again.

However, the flames and rolling heat waves enveloping the tactical armor kept it from daring to approach.

The dense white threads that had been binding Chen Fei so tightly gradually underwent modification under the high temperature, indicating they were composed of biological proteins. The flames were effective.

The thread's color changed from white to yellow, growing darker and darker until turning black. Accompanied by a sound like snapping strings, they broke one after another.

These threads were surprisingly resistant to fire, never fully catching alight, being slowly burnt through only by high heat.

Chen Fei's neck and head finally regained freedom, followed by his hands, his feet...

After ten minutes, with a forceful effort, he finally broke free from all the threads and stepped down from the "wall." He lifted his foot and stomped hard on the thing that was still waving its ugly tentacles.

With a squelch, the tentacles outside his foot extended straight, then all limply drooped down. Large amounts of foam surged out as the severely crushed clump of tentacles began to hydrolyze and collapse.

Chen Fei's pupils still had remnants of broken golden light flickering within, as he had activated the Psi Skill "Eyes of Tyranny" twice every minute. It was all sustained by Energy Points. Otherwise, relying solely on the "Ignition (1)" Magic Array engraved on the surface of the "Dragon Guard," it would take at least half an hour to gain complete freedom.

But he didn't want to wait even one second longer. The power boost from the flames combined with the "Eyes of Tyranny" made it possible to rapidly deal with the threads that had almost completely wrapped around him.

Only then did Chen Fei have the leisure to take in his current surroundings. The walls were neither rock nor concrete and paint, but instead a kind of biotic tissue, a translucent pale yellow that emitted a faint light, bright enough to illuminate the entire room. The surface of the walls was covered with "blood vessels" of varying thickness, writhing and pulsing to a certain rhythm. His burning and struggling had torn some of the "blood vessels," and a yellow liquid poured out, resembling millet porridge. Yet these wounds were rapidly healing themselves. The flowing liquid gradually stopped moving and began to congeal. The entire room looked like a beehive with its hexagonal structure.

The hexagonal structure, which maximizes the use of materials, is quite common in nature.

"Chirp!~"

Chen Fei heard Xiao Jiu's chirping again.

Strangely, the chirping didn't sound urgent but seemed filled with confusion.

One side of the "beehive" structure was a layer of very tough, translucent membrane through which it was possible to make out the other side, its strength possibly no less than those threads, or they might even be made of the same material.

Chen Fei immediately activated the Psi Skill "Basic Laser Emitter," using 1 Energy Point to cut a slit large enough for a person to pass through on the membrane's surface.

As soon as he cut through, a large amount of sticky transparent liquid surged in.

Chen Fei was startled. It seemed that there was no air outside, but this kind of liquid instead. He promptly extracted a breathing module that matched the Single Soldier Tactical Armor from the "Spatial Branding" and connected it with the "Dragon Guard" on his body.

While Metal Elemental Psychic Power could evolve a Single Soldier Tactical Armor that was nearly identical to the original, it couldn't produce the oxygen necessary for life.

Grasping the edge of the slit, Chen Fei, resisting the flow of liquid, forced his way through with a powerful dive, plunging into the space outside just like a fish into water.

The cut was also healing at a visible rate, and in no time, the room's membrane would likely be as good as new, without even a mark of damage.

The space outside was vast, and the lighting was not low. Chen Fei saw a huge ring formed by an expanse of "beehives," resembling a deep pool with hundreds, if not thousands, of "beehives."

Amidst the transparent, sticky liquid, it wasn't just him swimming around; there were also many strange creatures, including the Tentacle Monster that had warmly embraced Chen Fei's head earlier.

"Chirp!~"

Another distant chirp, Chen Fei heard it clearly and roughly identified the source. He immediately swam in that direction.

An undercurrent surged, and a "Strange Fish" with enormous fangs approached rapidly from afar. The AI, "Adam," detected it instantly and issued a warning.

Chen Fei turned as he swam, evolved a Railgun Combat Rifle, and loaded a three-foot-long all-metal spike, planning to teach that ill-intentioned "Strange Fish" a lesson.

But during the charging phase, the Railgun Combat Rifle malfunctioned with an error signal, as a large amount of electricity inexplicably dissipated and the capacitors failed to charge.

The thick, transparent liquid of unknown depth possessed some peculiar property that rendered the Railgun Combat Rifle unusable. Without any hesitation, Chen Fei's "Spatial Branding" on the back of his hand flashed with a silver light, and several grenades floated out. He pulled the pins decisively and swam swiftly away.

The "Strange Fish" adapted well to the thick liquid and charged toward the grenades at high speed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!~

The grenades exploded.

While the Railgun Combat Rifle, an electrical device, became useless here, its inability didn't affect the structurally simple grenades.

Countless bubbles erupted, enveloping the "Strange Fish."

A huge impact came from behind, jolting Chen Fei, who had already swum twenty to thirty meters away, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

The liquid not only transmitted sound well but also carried pressure.
