Chapter 457: Chapter 423: 7 Sects

The armored truck’s engine roared, crashing through obstacle structures along the way, or blasting them away with shells.

Sparks flew, like a scene from a film by Michael Bay (the director of "Escape from Alcatraz" and "Transformers", also known as ’Explosive Bay’), as it navigated through several turns.

Until it arrived at a kitchen, where the Blood Lion Roar finally hit the brakes, bringing the armored truck to an abrupt halt.

This place resembled a large kitchen of a high-end hotel, with clean beige ceramic tiles, gleaming stainless steel equipment, and fully equipped with gas stoves, freezers, and range hoods.

At a glance, Li Cheng saw the stainless steel spice cabinet filled with white sauce, brown sauce, and Italian red sauce, as well as fresh tomatoes, eggplants, and carrots stored in the cabinet, along with various red wines in the wine cabinet, all dating back five years.

This was a French restaurant, and at the end of the restaurant, there lay... a mountain of meat.

The mountain of meat was pale, completely filling the passageway without leaving a gap.

"WTF..."

Binary Tree released a drone, ascending to a high point, shooting lasers for a scan, "Is this even a person?!"

In the lower right corner of the tunnel lay an enormous, bloated head, comparable to an African elephant.

With so much facial fat, it was impossible to discern gender or age. Only the mouth area was visible, wearing a specially-made breathing mask.

The "Meat Mountain" lay curled up, blocking the passage, its massive arms hugging a giant oxygen tank like a beam, ignoring any external noise, and squinting as if asleep.

[Stage Three Task Objective: Eliminate "L"]

A fabricated system prompt sound rang out at the right moment, changing the expressions of everyone present. Clearly, this meat mountain L, like the Horse-headed Man S, was an abnormal entity within the Secret Realm.

Red Spider remained silent, raising two handguns.

"Don’t wake him just yet."

Binary Tree controlled the drone to hover silently, then jumped off the vehicle himself, cautiously releasing green data streams to scan the Meat Mountain.

The reason blue whales can grow so big is due to the buoyancy provided by the sea. For a normal human to become this large, they would be crushed under their own weight in minutes.

As expected, the scan showed that the Meat Mountain’s skin was impervious to blades and swords, its muscle strength was comparable to composite fibers, and its bones were far harder than steel.

The entire body structure was capable of supporting it to stand, walk, run, and even jump.

It could easily mold a Tiger Tank like a cat.

After all, a Tiger Tank is also a cat.

"This Meat Mountain is L?" Blood Lion Roar furrowed his brow, "Why is there no reaction from it at all?"

"The drone scanned some neural activity in its brain. It’s sleeping."

Binary Tree quickly said, "The black-clothed woman H, the suit baby E, the Horse-headed Man S, the Meat Mountain L, let’s consider the abnormal entities to be of the same level, this Meat Mountain L is at least Lv32, or even higher.

It’s better that it’s asleep. The problem lies in how to deal with it."

As he spoke, Binary Tree sprayed some anesthetic spray on the Meat Mountain’s surface, probably on the left thigh area, then turned his right hand into a data knife and lightly sliced off a bit of flesh.

That amount of flesh, relative to the Meat Mountain, was equivalent to dead skin. However, peculiarly, the wound healed rapidly, and the sliced-off meat turned into flying ash.

"I understand now."

Binary Tree took a few steps back and frowned, "The Horse-headed Man S in the previous level was about staring at it and managing to last for ten seconds. This level roughly has two solutions.

One, wake up Meat Mountain L, communicate with it, have him move himself to let us pass.

Two, kill Meat Mountain L, blast the body apart and move on."

"Abnormal entities within the Secret Realm lack a unified behavioral logic. The black-clothed woman H refused to communicate, but the Horse-headed Man S could be talked to,"

Blood Lion Roar squinted his eyes slightly, "If we can avoid a fight, that’s best."

"Okay, I’ll try to see if I can communicate with it."

Binary Tree’s legs turned into green data, and he floated up to the Meat Mountain’s head, shouting, "Hello! Hello? We’re just passing through, could you please move aside?"

The Meat Mountain seemed unaware, still in slumber. Unwilling to give up, Binary Tree moved closer and shouted louder.

Perhaps the loud noise disturbed its dreams, or maybe the sound waves caused the meat waves to ripple, the Meat Mountain slowly opened a slit of its left eye, and then,

Buzz!

A plump segment of a limb, resembling a Michelin tire man, lashed out like a lightning bolt, striking Binary Tree.

The latter reacted with lightning speed, instantly turning his body data into data,

However, the Meat Mountain’s pudgy hand seemed to possess some unknown power, encountering the already dataized Binary Tree and smacking him forcefully,

sending his entire being flying through the spacious kitchen, crashing into the wall at the end of the corner, creating a massive dent.

"Cough!"

The green dataized Binary Tree slowly slid down from the wall, spitting out a heap of code, shakily trying to stand, overcome with a sense of lingering fear.

Lucky he changed his life form in time, or he would have been turned into a mist of blood by now.

The Meat Mountain showed no additional reaction, slowly retracted its bulky arm, and fell back into a slumber.

Since the other party made the first move, there was nothing more to hesitate over,

Red Spider twisted his neck, and from his scapula, armpits, and ribs, six arms grew, each holding a rifle, sniper rifle, shotgun, and other firearms.

Eight arms, befitting his name as Spider.

Blood Lion Roar was also straightforward, sitting in the driver’s seat, maneuvering the armored truck backward, creating space for acceleration.

He was about to hit the accelerator, driving the Extreme Emperor Soldier·Da Yun Hundred Tons King for a charge.

"Wait a moment."

Li Cheng raised his hand to stop the two, thoughtfully saying, "All the abnormal entities in the Secret Realm have single-lettered names; did you think of something?"

Gray Rain raised his hand, "They’re all half-siblings born from the same mother and different fathers? The letters represent their respective birth fathers."

"No, it’s possible the names represent their attributes. Just like... the seven deadly sins."

Binary Tree thought of something, frowning deeply, "The Horse-headed Man S desires to see others embarrassed and ashamed, it might be Shy, or Shame.

This Meat Mountain L, it lied there motionlessly, unwilling to even breathe on its own, and relying on a respirator.

It might be... Lazy."

"What?"

Red Spider showed a puzzled expression, "Shouldn’t the seven deadly sins be Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, and Pride?

If I remember correctly, the Latin term for sloth is acedia and in English it’s sloth, not lazy.

And if the Horse-headed Man corresponds to Shame, the Meat Mountain to Sloth, then what do the Black-clothed Woman and the Suit Baby correspond to?"

"We don’t know yet."

Li Cheng spread his hands, "However, if the Meat Mountain really is Sloth, then getting past it will be much easier for us."
