Li Mu hugged his shoulders and waited in the tunnel. He was a little confused why the explosives hadn’t gone off yet.

In a cave, he had placed several high-energy explosives among the bodies. As long as Goss moved the bodies, it would trigger the detonator and set off the explosives.

“Did he get smart?”

Maybe he wasn’t very smart to begin with, or maybe the source blood had damaged his brain. Li Mu believed that Goss’s biggest weakness was his intelligence.

If he let him eat all the flesh and blood in the monastery, they would have to retreat.

That’s what Li Mu thought.

But before leaving, they had to blow up the Soul Cult’s warehouse in the monastery and loot it.

“Can that thing really not be killed?”

Li Mei supported the weak Shen Luoyan. Her holy relic was very good at destruction and killing, especially her Ruin Calamity, which was very effective against enemies with super-speed regeneration.

Li Mu was about to answer when suddenly there was a muffled explosion.

“He took the bait!”

He hoisted his sword onto his shoulder.

The violent explosion almost destroyed most of the furnishings in the cave. High temperatures ignited flammable materials, and flames raged.

An indescribable monster struggled in the flames.

It was probably serpent-shaped, but countless faces appeared densely on its body.

Some of these faces were fearful, some foolish, and some confused. Some of the faces had palm prints on their edges, as if trying to reach into the monster’s body.

Some palms had grown out of the monster’s body and were hanging helplessly.

The explosion caused significant damage to it, with large bruises appearing on its body, and some arms were directly blown off.

Viscous source blood gushed from the wounds, healing at an alarming rate, much faster than before.

The faces on the monster’s body noticed Li Mu.

“Merge with us!”

“Come and contemplate the true meaning of the soul with us.”

“Merge with the Holy Lord, and you will live forever in His embrace!”

They all turned their eyes to Li Mu, shouting with fanatical voices, some even waving their arms and making welcoming gestures.

Some faces even began to pray, chanting the teachings of the Soul Cult.

The piercing screams were jarring and could evoke the most negative emotions in people.

“This is going to be troublesome.”

Li Mu took out a spear from the Exile Realm with an unpleasant expression. To deal with such a huge monster, only heavy weapons like spears could cause enough damage.

To prevent the collapse of the cave, he didn’t set too many high-energy explosives, but their power was definitely not small. It only caused minor injuries to Goss.

He took out a stack of rocket launchers and placed them on the ground. He couldn’t hit the agile Goss with a rocket launcher, but Li Mei might be able to.

“I’ll distract him, you provide fire support.”

Shen Luoyan struggled to stand up alone.

“I…I can also…”

Li Mu sighed and raised his hand towards her.

Seeing Li Mu trying to knock her out, Shen Luoyan quickly controlled the mechanical arm on her right hand to automatically disassemble and then put it on Li Mu’s hand.

Although their arm sizes were clearly different, the mechanical arm fit snugly on his hand.

Li Mu moved his fingers and found the mechanical arm to be very flexible, without any hindrance or delay.

He threw a punch, and a powerful force suddenly added to his arm, greatly enhancing the destructive power of the punch.

The fist directly produced a muffled thunderous sound in the air.

“Don’t worry, I can still control the mechanical arm with this amount of energy consumption.”

Shen Luoyan showed a weak smile.

Li Mu took a deep breath and tightly grasped the iron spear in his hand.

On the giant snake transformed by Goss, numerous arms were still swaying like seaweed.

“Join us! Join us!”

Li Mu stomped on the ground and charged forward.

The giant snake sensed the threat and opened its mouth to roar. The numerous faces on its body also turned into expressions of hatred.

“Die!”

“Die!”

“Die!”

They cursed in unison, becoming a terrifying spiritual contamination.

The giant snake opened its mouth wide and viciously lunged at Li Mu, with countless pale arms on its body struggling like a drowning person, trying to drag Li Mu into its body.

“Die!”

Li Mu roared, using the iron spear in his hand to smack the giant snake’s chin.

The fierce forces of the two collided on a Goss-egg-thick cursed blood iron spear. If it were ordinary steel, it would have long been shattered. Even the cursed blood iron was bent to its limit.

His right arm, protected and buffered by a mechanical arm, was fine, but the palm of his left arm was torn apart by the force, blood staining the spear.

The recoil slammed him to the ground, his feet deeply embedded in the rock. If not for the resilience of the sturdy spear to cushion the force, his leg bones would have been shattered.

He rolled over where he was, using the large body of the snake to block his own figure.

The snake’s head also lifted high, and the spear point drew a deep wound under its chin, and its arms shook violently like hair.

Li Mei directly pulled the trigger.

The PT08 rocket launcher was designed for indoor launch from the beginning, and the warhead had no detonation distance restrictions like the individual rocket launchers and recoilless guns before the disaster. As long as it left the tube, the fuse would trigger. The purpose was to be able to die with the family when fighting in the alleys.

The linked warheads accurately hit the wound, and the high-speed metal jet of the first-stage armor-piercing warhead widened the wound, creating a gap large enough for the second-stage high-explosive warhead to fly in.

“Boom!”

With a muffled sound, the high-explosive warhead exploded in the giant snake’s mouth.

Massive, viscous blood spurted out of his mouth and nose. Half of his jaw was blown apart.

Li Mu’s pupils shrank. He didn’t expect the high-powered rocket launcher to have such a poor destructive effect on Goss.

It seems that not only its scales on the surface, but also its internal tissues are tough.

He rotated the spear shaft, stored the force on the spear, then shook the ground with his front foot and thrust his right arm forward using the recoil.

The heavy iron spear turned into a black line, directly piercing through the lower abdomen of the giant snake, with the spear tip deeply inserted.

Li Mu directly launched his Tremor Shock.

The entire spear emitted a high-frequency whistling sound. The destructive Shock Calamity caused the giant snake’s body to shake violently, and blood and shattered tissue splattered out of the wound caused by the spear.

At this moment, a face on the belly of the giant snake suddenly stared at Li Mu.

“It’s you! You killed me!”

His bloody body grew directly out of the belly of the giant snake, opened his arms, and tightly hugged Li Mu.

A strong smell of blood rushed over.

The toughness of this body was not inferior to that of the giant snake, making it difficult for Li Mu to break free for a short time.
