"Assimilated? I don't think so." Old K's eyes, which were emitting a faint red glow, curved slightly, as if smiling. "It is weaker than I thought. It can't affect my mind at all. It can only make my strength fuller. Mu Feng, I feel good now."

As Old K spoke, the entire cave was filled with a faint red light wherever he looked. The light flickered on and off, constantly changing position, and was even colder and deeper than the sight of the monsters before.

Everyone knew that those red lights were actually tentacles covered with eyes. The tentacles were spread throughout the entire cave, lurking in the dark, quietly observing everyone, looking eerie and strange.

——This was a feeling of fear and oppression that not even the young body of the evil Buddha could bring to them.

"You don't look well at all!" Li Mufeng pulled his hair in frustration, "Old K, the way you're talking now makes you sound like a villain aa ...

"But the villain is usually the stronger one." A pitch-black tentacle stretched out from the sole of Li Mufeng's foot and gently rolled up Qu Anran's body on him. "Thank you for your hard work. I have found the location of the 'Buddha'. Let me lead the way from now on."

No one knows how many eyeballs and arms of the Thousand-Armed Buddha have been devoured by Old K. In fact, the back half of the cave is the nest of the newborn evil Buddhas.

Just now, Old K used parasitism and devouring to spread his power throughout the entire nest.

These monster limbs are the embodiment of human "faith" and the source of the evil Buddha's power. Outside the lair are the evil Buddha's countless heads and arms that have grown into complete forms. They are swearing to defend their weak but important "internal organs".

A powerful devouring parasitic monster like Old K is their natural enemy and nemesis, so it should be impossible for him to enter here.

However, the energy of humans like Li Mufeng and the five players was too weak and was not noticed by the monsters at all.

In addition, these young monsters are also very aggressive. From time to time, they will kill some animals and humans who strayed into the cave to replenish their energy, so several humans were easily "released".

So, Li Mufeng rushed in here ignorantly, carrying a terrifying nuclear bomb.

All in all, the evil Buddha was attacked by the extreme.

The six people suddenly felt dizzy, and their bodies were lifted high into the air by the huge tentacles that rose from below. The bodies of several people were extremely stiff, and they were in close contact with the slippery and cool tentacles that were like venomous snakes.

They didn't dare to imagine what the thing under them looked like.

"Old K, you're so nice." Li Mufeng hugged the thick tentacles and felt a little comforted. Although Old K's appearance and personality had changed a bit, he was still essentially a considerate little... no, big octopus.

"You're welcome, Mu Feng." Old K's eyes became even more crooked.

Next, several people rode on the huge python-like tentacles and shuttled through the unfathomable cave.

Several players didn't dare to breathe, and their bodies would occasionally touch the smooth and cold tentacles on the cave ceiling and the sides of the stone walls. Those guys were very bad, and some would even suddenly stick out to scare them.

"This cave is too deep, and it seems to be going uphill all the time." Li Zhuang whispered, trying to ease the tense atmosphere. "If we were to walk here, we would probably die of exhaustion before we could finish the walk."

"So, how did 'that person' leave here?" a player muttered in confusion.

"Don't ask anymore. Look at what kind of monsters are in the opposing team. Sometimes, I think Game Home is a piece of shit. They matched us with such terrible opponents. It's not fair at all!" Someone complained in a low voice.

For example, there was the weird man who wanted to kill them with a water film if they didn't agree with him, and there was the psychopath in front of them who was carrying a corpse and wanted them to believe in evil Buddha. Most importantly, he was carrying a... terrifying tentacle monster that looked even more evil than the villain...

I really don’t know what the other teammates in their team are like...are they even weirder than these guys?

Li Zhuang was a little better than his teammates. He knew Zhang Chunliang from the opposing team. At this moment, he suddenly recalled the young man with a handsome and kind appearance and a smile as refreshing as spring breeze.

For some reason, he suddenly shuddered.

……

“You still ate it…”

Zhang Chunliang stood in the void in confusion, looking around.

He was light and naked, standing in the chaos.

"What to eat?" Zhang Chunliang muttered to himself, "I didn't eat anything."

He recognized the owner of this voice, the world consciousness. But this time its tone was much sadder, with a strange sense of helplessness and pity.

Zhang Chunliang felt that this space was very strange. There were golden and blood-red mists floating everywhere. He could not see the shadows of anything and felt chilly all over.

He stretched out his hand and clenched his palm, feeling that he had inexplicably become very healthy, yes... healthy.

Before, his soul was always vague and ethereal, his consciousness was always groggy, he always had a severe headache and was always mumbling, and his body felt empty as if there was a big hole in it.

But now, he felt that he was very "solid". If he wanted to, he could even bypass the world consciousness and manipulate this space.

This situation is very strange, and may be related to what he "ate" in the mouth of the world consciousness.

"Excuse me...what did I eat?" Zhang Chunliang asked doubtfully, "Is it something important?"

"It's very important... I told you... don't, don't eat it..." The World Consciousness said softly.

Zhang Chunliang vaguely remembered that when it was in a coma not long ago, it did say something like "don't eat", but its voice was so ethereal and its words were intermittent that he didn't understand what it meant for a moment.

He speculated that his companions might have fed him something while he was unconscious from hunger.

"I apologize..." Zhang Chunliang said helplessly, "If possible, I will try to spit it out. Will gastric lavage help?"

The world consciousness did not speak. Zhang Chunliang only felt a pair of sad eyes cast on him from all directions, staring at him deeply, which made him become irritated again.

He felt that this guy was too indecisive, unwilling to say anything clearly, and always playing tricks on him...

Perhaps it was because Zhang Chunliang was in a conscious space connected to his soul. At the moment when he was feeling upset, a very regular sound suddenly rang in his ears.

"Bang, bang, bang."

That's the sound of a beating heart.

His mood began to become unstable again.

"Don't be angry..." The world consciousness finally spoke, "Stay calm, don't... be like this."

"Okay, I'll try my best... But can you explain the reason?" Zhang Chunliang raised his hands in surrender, "I really don't know what precious thing I ate?"

No matter how smart he was, he was still confused at the moment. Since entering this world, everything was inexplicable.

Inexplicably, his wishes came true, inexplicably, he was always unlucky, inexplicably, he lost Shen Xingyi, inexplicably, he was so hungry that he almost died... All of this made him extremely irritated.

"As long as you eat it, it is very precious..." said the world consciousness.

Zhang Chunliang's breathing stagnated and his chest felt stuffy. At this moment, he was so angry that he almost laughed.

Does it mean that everything he eats in this world is very precious? Then why didn't it remind him before? It had to wait until he entered Shuangshi Village to tell him, which was simply a scam!

"You really act like a mystical fortune teller..." He couldn't help but remind her, "It's hard for me to understand what you mean."

"I'm sorry, I can't explain it clearly... I'm scared. But I can remind you... one thing." The world consciousness said, "I have an ability called 'Transformation', which is the foundation for me to create this world... But now, this ability of mine has been plundered by Kang Kang."

Transformation? Zhang Chunliang raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Does it mean that the inner demon can transform into different things? It sounds very similar to Xiaoxing's ability... No, Xiaoxing may have plundered some of its power after dying in this world, and thus accidentally acquired the ability to transform.

This doesn't seem too surprising. After all, this fake copy world itself is a product of consciousness. If it is combined with the ability of "transformation", it makes sense.

"I've discovered that many things in your world are really fake, as if you're setting up a... weird stage." Zhang Chunliang couldn't help but complain.

In this world, he often feels like he can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood.

"It's a scam, it's a scam." The world consciousness emphasized, "Don't believe your eyes..."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Chunliang frowned and asked, "Could it be that...something is fake, but I didn't find it?"

He subconsciously thought of his teammates - Qu Anran and Qu Anyi... No, Qu Anran's character is hard to describe, and few people can completely imitate him. He can't be fake...

Duoduo? That’s not right. He could tell the real Duoduo apart. The one he met today was the real one.

Zhang Chunliang pondered for a moment, his eyes widened slightly, and then he understood the true meaning of world consciousness.

"You mean... the food I eat?" Zhang Chunliang asked with difficulty, his throat rolling, "The food I eat is... fake? Or, it has been changed in appearance by hallucination..."

The world consciousness did not speak, but let out a sigh filled with deep sorrow.

……

"What the hell is this place?" After more than an hour of rapid travel, Li Mufeng and others were finally sent to the exit of the cave by Lao K's tentacles.

They then discovered that they had been active underground all this time.

The exit of the cave is a giant sculpture with a peculiar shape. The edge of the cave entrance is lined with sharp and neat giant stalagmites, arranged up and down like giant teeth.

Li Zhuang sighed and walked out of the cave covered in dust. Before he could take a breath of fresh air, he took a breath of cold air.

——Outside the cave, there was an endless forest, and his current position was hundreds of meters above the ground!

They seemed to be hanging on a cliff, and if they were not careful, they would fall down.

The player who was walking next to Li Zhuang's steps weakened and he collapsed to the ground.

"How do I get out? Am I really in a D-level team competition? The difficulty should be at least A-level, right? This is too bad!" His sad and angry voice echoed above the empty valley and did not subside for a long time.

"Sir, please keep your voice down." Old K's huge tentacles looked even more enchanting in the dim dusk light. It rolled up its claws and dragged Li Zhuang and the player back from the edge of the cave. "We are now in the mouth of the main head of this stone sculpture. The outside world is full of its heads and arms. Your loud voice might alarm them."

As soon as it finished speaking, the sound of dense stones rubbing against each other was heard outside. Just as Lao K said, something was alarmed.

The player's face turned pale and he quickly covered his mouth.

Li Mufeng was checking Qu Anran's physical condition. After hearing the player's complaint, his face suddenly turned strange.

"What did you say?" he asked in a low voice, his tone somewhat serious, "D-level copy?"

"Yes...D-level." The player seemed a little embarrassed and said in a low voice, "We are all members of a small guild. The competition in the big dungeons is too fierce. We don't want to die, so we only choose some team dungeons that are easier to complete quests. Unexpectedly, we are so bad that we can't even pass the D-level dungeon."

"That's not right... How could this be a D-level difficulty?" Li Mufan said to himself, "This is too weird."

"It's indeed a bit strange, Mu Feng." Old K also expressed his own thoughts, "When I was absorbing this energy, I found that this evil Buddha was not as powerful as I imagined. Its power is not even as strong as the world I was born in."

"Given Zhang Chunliang's ability and the strength of his weird teammates, they shouldn't be included in this book." Li Mufeng said firmly, "There must be something weird!"

"I thought so too..." Li Zhuang also interrupted, "I never thought in my life that with my ability to pass levels, I could enter the same book with this great god again."

"Could it be that there is something in this copy that can restrain Zhang Chunliang, so he was..." Li Mufeng looked at the unfamiliar players and closed his mouth.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he had secretly guessed that there was a big boss behind the scenes in the game who was targeting Zhang Chunliang in secret - if this was really just a copy with a very low difficulty, then Zhang Chunliang could enter this copy, it must be because there was something special here... that would pose a fatal threat to him.

"Look outside--" a player who had been silent all of a sudden shouted nervously in a low voice.

Hearing his reminder, everyone subconsciously looked outside the Buddha's mouth, and then took a breath of cold air.

——The voice of the player just now really alarmed the evil Buddha arms outside.

From their field of vision, they could clearly see that hundreds of meters in the sky, countless stone arms were waving their arms with bared fangs and claws. Their movements were slow but powerful, and they looked huge and shocking.

The palms connected by the arms had different movements, some seemed to be picking flowers, some were clenching fists, some palms were slightly spread out, and some were holding some strange objects, like the corpses of captured prey.

The palms in the sky are all in different postures. They are like awakened giant pythons, searching for prey from above.

Because of the unique geographical location, the players were lucky enough not to be discovered by them.

"What are you standing there for like an idiot—come here and hide!" After Li Zhuang and his teammates hid on a bulge deep in the cave, he was about to call out to Li Mufeng, but he saw that he was standing there like an idiot, motionless, staring straight at the monster arms outside the Buddha's mouth.

Li Mufeng's mind was blank and he didn't care about dodging or not. He just hated that his eyesight was too good as he accidentally saw the prey in the hands of the stone monsters.

Among countless highly decomposed animal and human corpses, there was a huge black corpse.

It seemed to be some kind of cat, as big as a mountain, tightly clamped in a huge Buddha's hand. Its black fur shone with golden light under the dusk light.

If it were still alive, it would definitely be the king of beasts, a terrifying existence.

But it was dead, and its corpse dangled in the stone Buddha's hand like a helpless rag.

What Li Mufan could not accept the most was that the big cat's belly was violently torn open, and all the internal organs inside disappeared, leaving only the empty and pale ribs shaking with the body.

Li Mufeng swallowed his saliva, unable to control the soreness in his eyes.

His mind was full of one thought.

This matter must not be let known to Zhang Chunliang.
