Chapter 485 - State of Fear  

The outermost layer of Hila’s mutant form gradually faded away, revealing an orange eyeball in the center of the flesh.

Xiao Jing felt that the pupil in the center of the eyeball was staring at them!

The moment he looked at the eyeball, Xiao Jing felt a shiver rising from the depths of his soul!

“F*ck, what the hell is that eye…”

[Hint: You are mentally disturbed by an unknown creature. You have entered a state of fear.]

A line of small words appeared in front of his eyes. Following that, Xiao Jing felt his limbs instantly become extremely stiff, like he was in a living nightmare. He was unable to move his body at all!

In the next second, Xiao Jing saw a huge tentacle in front of him charging towards him.

“Bang!”

Xiao Jing was hit directly by the tentacle. He was sent flying and crashed heavily into the wall!

The part where he was hit by the tentacle was burning with pain!

However, Xiao Jing was still in a state of fear and could not make any moves!

He could not even take medicine to recover his HP!

Hila’s mutated form crazily waved its huge tentacles. The Dark Knights were all in a state of fear and were completely passive!

Fang Heng and the others were also affected by the state of fear. They were frozen on the spot.

It was not that he was completely unable to control his body. Instead, every movement required a lot of strength. As for the action of running, it was simply impossible!

Mo Jiawei whispered, “When the mutant body is in Tier 3, it possesses a powerful mental fear ability and is judged to have the strength of a Tier 4 creature. Its weakness is that eyeball. As long as you attack that eyeball, you will be able to cause fatal damage to it.”

“The eyeball can continuously create a state of fear. As long as that eyeball is still there, the state of fear will last forever.”

“Fang Heng,” Wallace said in a deep voice, “I can help you break free temporarily. It will only last for three seconds at most. You must think of a way to get rid of it within three seconds.”

Fang Heng glanced at Lucia beside him. The latter nodded very seriously and quickly came up with a reckless plan.

“I’ll go and attract its attention first. You go up and stab it.”

“Okay, let’s do that,” Fang Heng felt that this plan was pretty good, so he immediately nodded and started counting down. “Three, two, one.”

“Start!”

Wallace shouted loudly, and the veins on his forehead bulged. His spiritual defense barrier opened up again.

Fang Heng felt his body suddenly loosen up.

Almost instantly, Lucia took a step forward and rapidly approached the eyeball in front of her!

Several tentacles immediately pounced towards Lucia, trying to stall her in her footsteps.

“Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh!”

The tentacles waved in the air, producing several air-piercing sounds!

Lucia was unable to dodge and could only try to block with her dagger.

“Ka!!”

The moment the dagger touched the tentacles, Lucia’s heart trembled. She felt as if the dagger had slashed onto an extremely hard metal.

Then, a powerful force came at her. Lucia could not stand still and was forced to fly backward.

While her body was flying in the air, Lucia still maintained her balance. She aimed at the target and threw the dagger forward with all her might!

“Chi!!”

The dagger passed through the gaps of the waving tentacles and stabbed into the upper right corner of the eyeball of the out-of-control mutated form!

“Roar!!!”

A brutal and painful roar sounded in everyone’s minds!

The tentacles that extended from the giant-sized piece of flesh shook crazily!

“Fang Heng! Now!”

On the side, Fang Heng dashed out and took advantage to approach the eyeball form which had lost control!

It was unknown when, but Fang Heng had a butcher’s machete in his hand.

Machete was the most convenient for melee attacks.

“Chi!!”

The machete stabbed into the depths of the eyeball, all the way to the hilt.

Fang Heng’s eyes revealed a hint of viciousness.

“Die!”

Fang Heng used all his strength, dragging the machete and pulling it to the side!

Chi!!!

From left to right, the machete drew a huge tear on the eyeball!

“Chi!”

A stinky thick juice spewed out along the tear!

The tentacles that were constantly waving gradually lost their strength, and the entire piece of flesh rapidly withered in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, the originally huge piece of flesh melted into a pool of stinky blood in front of Fang Heng.

In the end, only a piece of flesh that was still slightly squirming was left on the ground.

As the eyeball form was destroyed, everyone gradually recovered from the state of fear.

“Quick! Don’t just stand there! Quickly go and treat the injured!”

Colonel Barker was the first to recover from the state of fear. He shouted at everyone.

The elite Dark Knights also reacted one by one and immediately began to treat the injured.

Xiao Jing and Xu Bin looked at each other. They could feel a sense of relief in each other’s eyes.

It was too terrifying.

There was no way to resist such a mental attack!

Then, the two looked at Fang Heng together.

That guy!

They had no doubt that Fang Heng could turn District 7 upside down by himself.

Judging from the way Fang Heng cut the eyeball in half, he was definitely a ruthless character!

Fang Heng still stood where he was, carefully staring at the piece of flesh on the ground.

It was not dead yet!

Fang Heng’s gaze occasionally swept across the game log.

He had never received the game hint that he had killed Hila’s mutated form.

Could it be that there was still a Tier 4?

Wait a minute…

Fang Heng thought of something.

He carefully squatted down and tried to touch the piece of flesh on the ground.

[Hint: You have found a special item-Hila’s tissue.]

[Hint (triggered by low-level game difficulty): There is a high probability that Hila’s tissue will mutate when exposed to the outside world. Please be careful!]

[Hint: Player has completed the mission-out-of-control Hila’s tissue sample.]

Fang Heng roughly skimmed through the game hint and came to a realization.

Hila had an immortal body, so she could not be destroyed. That was why he didn’t receive the game hint that she was killed.

From the looks of it, the reward for killing a Tier 4 out-of-control mutated creature whose strength had reached Tier 5 was Hila’s tissue sample!

Hila’s tissue sample could not be kept in his backpack, and there was a risk of subsequent mutations at every moment. He had to think of a way to store it.

Where was it originally stored?

There should be a special container made by the Meteorite Company in the small room behind the emergency exit?

There might even be an item that could trigger the next stage.

Fang Heng was about to go to the back of the door to check when he suddenly heard a painful cry behind him.

“Ah!!”

Tang Bai curled up and rolled on the ground in pain. He kept wailing.

The people around him did not know what had happened. They all formed a circle.

“Tang Bai! Tang Bai!”

Wallace was scared out of his wits. He quickly ran over and grabbed Tang Bai’s shoulder, trying to calm him down. “What happened to you?”

“Maybe he was affected by the mental fluctuations of the mutated Hila’s tissue just now.” Lucia switched to the tranquilizer gun. “I will give him a sedative and let him rest for a while.”

“No… No!”

Tang Bai almost shouted.

He clenched his teeth, his nails deeply embedded in his palm and cold sweat kept dripping down his face.

“I saw it!”
