I've Become the King of Villains in the Game-Chapter 442 - 305: Lake of Blood

Chapter 442: Chapter 305: Lake of Blood

It hadn’t even been a month since Chen Lun arrived at Peacock City.

He had already completed two-thirds of his pre-set goals.

The first opportunity, “Hope Workshop,” and the three volumes of “Carmen’s Notes,” he had obtained them all.

He was quite satisfied with this.

Next, he only needed to get his hands on the third opportunity, so he continued to send Golov, Barton, and Morey out to look for clues about the farmer “Dolim.” He had also asked Miss Tracey and Mr. Hoyle for help, leveraging the power of the Harrington and Simon families to jointly conduct the investigation.

As for himself, he intended to enter the Immortal Realm for an exploration.

...

‘The third opportunity is still being sought, hunting the Red Apple Church can wait. Now they are in a stress response period, they might have set up another ambush waiting for me to fall into…’ Chen Lun couldn’t help shaking his head.

Ever since he advanced to Sequence Six and mastered “Cloud Leap,” he had obtained considerable initiative. As long as the high-level combat power of the Red Apple Church did not take him on personally, he could come and go as he wished, with essentially no worries of rear attacks.

The power to instantly traverse vast distances was a divine skill for preserving one’s life.

Among the ten divine paths, only the Destiny Faction could achieve this in the Mid Sequence.

Humm!

Countless emerald vine phantoms drilled out from Chen Lun’s cuff, interweaving into “Philip’s Dreamland Adventure.” Pages turned, a flash of white light appeared, and he entered the Immortal Realm within.

Regaining his senses, Chen Lun found himself already in a wooden cabin.

This cabin was precisely the “Save Point” he used the last time he was by the Blood River. He pushed the door open and strode out, planning to continue further exploration.

The river beach, composed of countless fingernails and teeth, displayed a grey-white color, with many dark red bloodstains contaminating it, and a nauseating stench of blood permeated the air, making Chen Lun very displeased with this area.

Chen Lun did not choose to walk but directly used “Aerial Walk” to fly.

He had been moving along the riverbank for less than two minutes when his brows suddenly raised.

“Not this thing again.”

The next second.

A thick blood-flesh vine, resembling a tree trunk, drilled out from the riverbed, scattering numerous nails and teeth as it shot straight at Chen Lun in mid-air.

As it flew, the tip bloomed, opening a “huge bloody mouth,” revealing densely packed sharp teeth and bursting out with disgusting viscous fluid.

“Didn’t kill you last time, and now you dare to attack me again?”

Chen Lun chuckled lightly.

His body shifted sideways out of thin air, easily dodging the assault from the corrupted plant, and then a whip kick was launched, exploding the air in front of him with a thunderous boom.

Thump!!

Unlike their first encounter, when Chen Lun had been wielding a Silver Sword with all his might to chop but could not slice through the tough exterior of the blood-flesh vine, this kick directly split it open.

Pieces of blood-flesh tissue flew in all directions, revealing the fibrous remnants inside.

Squeak squeak!!

The vine retracted reflexively, and a scream echoed from below.

With a calm expression, Chen Lun flicked his hand, pinching a playing card between two fingers. The surging black mist danced like flames, and the Spade symbol on the card emitted a dazzling light.

“Spade.”

He flicked his hand violently, and the enchanted card flew out like a cannonball.

Swoosh—!!

A black afterimage flashed by, and immediately below, a violent explosion ensued.

Boom—rumble rumble!

A crater with a diameter of over a dozen meters was blasted out on the riverbank, showering teeth and nail fragments everywhere. The contaminated plant “Corpse Blanket” hidden below suffered a heavy blow, getting flung onto the surface, twisting and writhing.

This chapt𝓮r is updat𝒆d by ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom.

Its body, resembling a flower bud, had been blasted ragged by the Magic Flying Card just now, with bright red blood spreading everywhere.

Whiz whiz whiz whiz!!

At this moment.

Four more blood-flesh vines shot out from four different directions toward Chen Lun who was aloft.

“You’ve got backup?”

Chen Lun laughed lightly again.

Rustle rustle—

Hundreds of cards revolved around him, spinning rapidly as if forming a card barrier.

With a series of crackling sounds, the cards blocked the attack and shredded the approaching blood-flesh vines into pieces.

Chen Lun stood unharmed in mid-air, like a conductor at a music concert. With a wave of his hand, the cards around him followed his command and surged forth like a torrent, crashing down like a waterfall from the sky, and hammered violently onto the riverbank.

Boom hiss—!

The card torrent tore one of the “Corpse Blankets” to shreds, and then rose into the sky to attack the next one, precisely and brutally pulverizing them.

In just a few breaths, the five Corpse Blankets on the ground turned into unrecognizable shreds, their flesh and blood indistinct, and Chen Lun also received kill notifications. Each Corpse Blanket only provided him with ten thousand Experience Points, totaling fifty thousand.

‘Total Level has already surpassed them by dozens of levels, hence the diminished gains…’

Chen Lun thought to himself.

After landing, he collected the supernatural materials produced by the Corpse Blankets, then once again took to the sky to move forward.

Continuing to explore along the riverbank for about twenty minutes, Chen Lun encountered several more attacks along the way, but he easily killed all these odd-shaped contaminated plants, gaining a wave of Experience Points and supernatural materials.

He also took the opportunity to test the effects of the other three suits of the Magic Flying Card.

The cutting ability of the Diamonds card was truly terrifying, a streak of red radiance flashed by, cutting the enemy directly in half, and even without diminishing momentum, disappeared into the distance. As for the control ability of the Clubs card, it was also outstanding, the huge contaminated plant that was hit was like an ant frozen in glue, unable to move, left to be slaughtered at will.

As for the Hearts card, Chen Lun tried to flick it onto a severely injured contaminated plant, and the plant miraculously healed its wounds and regained some vitality.

Although it couldn’t fully heal, it did boost a bit of blood, making it a standard long-range healing method. However, Chen Lun soon discovered that he could re-enchant the life force produced by the “Wake of Insects” bookmark onto the Hearts card, significantly enhancing its effect.

‘What a powerful combination skill…’

Chen Lun couldn’t help but sigh.

He had now arrived at the end of the bottom of the canyon and the place where the Blood River converged.

In front of him was a massive Blood Lake.

The entire scene was red, as if even the dim sky was reflected in a blood twilight.

The crimson, thick plasma was extremely dazzling, and bubbles were emerging from it too, indicating something horrifying might be lurking beneath the Blood Lake.

In the center of the Blood Lake was an island, on which a small hill stood, and behind it, as if a large chunk was cut off, there was a smooth vertical cliff wall. However, because of the angle, Chen Lun couldn’t see what was on the cliff wall.

Around the Blood Lake grew some tall and bizarre trees, their trunks covered with human-like facial features, yet intertwined and twisted, very abstract and horrifying. Even without the wind blowing at this moment, these trees were swaying and making a strange crackling sound, like contorting joints.

Chen Lun held his breath and gazed intently at the Lake of Blood’s shore.

There, surprisingly, stood a statue of the Cat God.

‘Just like the cabin by the lakeside, Gazing Lakeside has a statue of Your Majesty Maggie; it’s the same here… except the lake has turned into blood, and the mermaid statue has changed to a Cat God statue.’

Chen Lun pondered for a moment before carefully walking forward.

He approached the Cat God statue and reached out to touch it gently.

Boom!

A vast amount of information flooded into Chen Lun’s mind, and that familiar yet distant female voice came again, informing him about lots of information about the Immortal Realm.

A moment later…

Chen Lun composed himself.

According to Her Majesty Maggie’s hints, this Blood Lake was a Transfer Station leading to the next area. There were two paths from “Lake of Blood” to “Crystal Mountain Range,” one through the Dark River at the bottom of the Blood Lake, reaching directly inside the Crystal Mountain Range, the other across the Blood Lake, climbing up from the cliff on the opposite shore to the entrance of the Crystal Mountain Range.

At the same time, Maggie warned Chen Lun that there was a powerful entity hidden within the Crystal Mountain Range, a Sub-God of the former God of Magic, Jing Yao, the Divine Painter, Clarence.

But He had gone insane, and the entire Crystal Mountain Range was filled with various contaminations, extremely dangerous.

‘The Divine Painter Clarence?!’

Chen Lun was quite surprised.

‘Why would He appear in the Immortal Realm… No, the Immortal Realm is actually a replica of the Dream Realm, all of this is a fabrication of Philip’s, meaning Clarence actually entered the Dream Realm and then went insane?!’

He took a few deep breaths to process this information.

Soon, Chen Lun looked at the panel with a look of astonishment.

[You have triggered the statue of Cat God Maggie Milna and received Her gift, “Nature’s Favor (Blessing)” Level has been upgraded!]

[Nature’s Favor (Blessing) LVMAX]

‘This blessing has reached max level…’

Chen Lun blinked a few times and even wanted to pat the Cat God statue’s butt as a gesture of praise, but he dared not.

“Today is really a good day,”

he remarked.

One surprise followed another. First, Hoyle came with his collection, and now here he had received a gift from Her Majesty Maggie. The max level of Nature’s Favor meant that all ten memory slots of “Animal Mimicry” could retain the characteristics of supernatural creatures!

He was now very eager to find out what state he would enter when he updated all ten characteristics to those of supernatural creatures and then used the ten-in-one transformation technique.

“Huh…”

Chen Lun took a breath and then soared into the air, crossing over the Blood Lake, flying toward the opposite shore.

He chose not to take the path beneath the Blood Lake; putting aside how disgustingly viscous the blood was, a message from Her Majesty Maggie also indicated that at the mouth of the Dark River beneath the Blood Lake, there was a powerful contaminated creature standing guard.

Chen Lun didn’t want to waste time entangled here, so he simply flew directly to the other side and then used “Aerial Walk” to scale the cliff and check out the next area, “Crystal Mountain Range.”

But as he flew over the Blood Lake,

a large shadow suddenly appeared on the surface of the lake, and immediately a gigantic octopus tentacle covered with mouths and teeth broke through the surface of the Blood Lake, reaching for Chen Lun as if it wanted to drag him down.

Chen Lun sneered, paying it no heed, and with a paradoxical twist, he dodged the strike and flew straight ahead.

Several octopus tentacles as thick as a strong man’s embrace pursued relentlessly, and one after another emerged from the depths of the Blood Lake. They seemed to have locked on to Chen Lun, determined not to let him go until they dragged him down into the blood.

But Chen Lun casually dodged through the air as if taking a leisurely stroll.

Until he reached the opposite shore, the fearsome octopus monster had failed to achieve its goal.

Finally, Chen Lun looked back and noticed that on the Blood Lake, a spherical head half the size of Lake Heart Island was slowly emerging, covered in wailing human faces. Two black bar eyes, as big as carriages, stared dead at him, brimming with malevolence.

“Look at your sister…”

Chen Lun threw out several “Diamonds” flying cards with a flick of his hand. The red light flashed by in an instant, piercing through the octopus’s head and splattering several streams of dark red thick sludge.

Boom!

Giant waves rose in the Blood Lake as the large octopus, in pain, violently twisted its body, angrily flailing its tentacles, while Chen Lun had already vanished from the spot.

But Chen Lun, who had moved away from the Blood Lake, was curious about what was on the mountain wall of that Lake Heart Island, so he took one last look back.

However, this look drastically changed his face.
