Chapter 152: A Bottle of Refreshing Elixir |
Even though he managed to escape the circle of paper money in an instant, Guan Shan's health was still dangerously low, like a candle in the wind.
"The [Healing Talisman] needs me to be still to activate, and I don't have any other healing items left."
"To quickly restore health, I can only rely on the [Life] demonic mark from [Demonic Markings], but at level 3, it only instantly restores 30% of health, which still isn't enough to get out of danger."
"I remember there's an emergency medical point nearby. I'll try to get some healing items, and the base should have noticed something is wrong by now. If someone comes over, it should be in this direction."
As soon as Guan Shan landed and stabilized, he immediately turned and rushed towards the exit of the corridor.
At this moment, the fractures on his body had mostly healed, and his health was back over a hundred, allowing normal activities.
Normally, without subsequent healing items, Guan Shan wouldn't be able to recover his health.
However, the potent Active Serum from Xiang Wen had greatly enhanced his self-healing ability, showing its powerful effect when he suffered a fatal injury.
His body parts reattached without any hindrance, with all muscles, nerves, and blood vessels connecting seamlessly.
If it were before, Guan Shan would have wasted at least a second because he couldn't adjust his posture while falling, inevitably falling to the ground.
As soon as he rushed out, Guan Shan used [Demonic Markings].
[Demonic Markings (Level 3)]
[Type: Active]
[Cooldown: 3 days]
[Effect: Draw one of the [Life], [Protection], [Blessing], or [Thorns] demonic marks to grant different effect boosts; duration: 100 seconds, can be interrupted.]
[Life: Instantly increases health by 30% and provides faster healing over time.]
Following the system's guidance, Guan Shan pressed two fingers to his forehead. From the touched skin, white lines instantly spread over his entire body.
These lines were soft and fluid, composed of complex circles and arcs. When dispersed over the body, they seemed random, but when fully displayed, they formed the shape of a lotus.
In the areas he couldn't see, these lines connected to the red, spiderweb-like paths on his back, causing these red lines to briefly light up and converge on the circular pattern at the base of his spine.
This originally blurry circular pattern suddenly became clear.
It looked like an eye.
The paper man rustled, shocked and angry at Guan Shan's "resurrection," shouting gibberish before waving its arms.
Swish! Swish!
The paper money, like windblown leaves, followed closely, rolling up like a stormy sea.
Guan Shan didn't sprint in a straight line but zigzagged between the walls, trying to confuse the paper man's judgment and avoid being surrounded by the paper money again.
Despite this, he continued to get cut by the paper money, but the life demonic mark's healing effect was decent, slowly increasing his health bar.
However, Guan Shan knew that in reality, these paper money were the transparent fishing lines he had seen earlier.
"These fishing lines are made of special materials with incredible cutting ability at high speed. Combined with Luo Yi's telekinesis, they are incredibly flexible and deadly in combat."
"The gap between B-level and C-level is huge..."
"Even if Luo Yi is only level 20, he must have just advanced, but he can still kill C-level instantly, like he did to me!"
"I must hold out until Sun Han arrives, or I'm dead!"
Guan Shan barely escaped the blockades repeatedly and finally saw a prompt point on the side wall.
[Medical Point]
[Effect: Special device installed in the wall with built-in emergency medical kits.]
[Description: Open the cover to use, quick and convenient.]
"Damn, it knows I don't have time to follow the procedures to open it!"
Bang!
Guan Shan punched the outer layer of the device, denting it, then forced his hand into the gap, bending the steel-like wooden board.
—Although it was actually the alloy steel wall of the base.

The internal alarm of the medical point was triggered, emitting a piercing sound.
But it didn't matter now. Guan Shan had already smashed an alarm earlier, and the whole base was now on alert.
Guan Shan scanned the inside and immediately saw at least two rolls of [Emergency Bandage] and a bottle of [Disinfectant].
Guan Shan was shocked: "Damn, normal bandages can also be considered usable items. Doesn't that mean all the medical points in the base are my supplies?!"
[Disinfectant]
[Effect: Instantly restores 10% health.]
[Description: One bottle refreshes, two bottles eliminate fatigue, three bottles grant immortality.]
"I understand, but why can disinfectant restore health? How toxic am I to need washing to improve health?!"
One bandage could provide 20% health recovery, and the disinfectant could also provide 10%!
Guan Shan's mouth twitched: "And this description suggests I should drink it?"
Guan Shan couldn't understand, but it didn't stop him from using it immediately.
He quickly wrapped two bandages around himself and poured the disinfectant onto his hands.
Splash...
This added up to 50% health recovery, instantly bringing his health bar back to a safe level, allowing Guan Shan to relax.
But he couldn't relax yet. In just this short moment, the paper money had already caught up.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Finally able to counterattack, Guan Shan raised his Glock 17 and fired continuously at the paper money.
Due to the [Split Gun Barrel] effect, the incendiary bullets split, creating a bullet storm.
Boom!
The intense secondary explosions spread flames, incinerating the paper money into ashes, breaking their offensive.
Guan Shan retreated while shooting, aiming at the paper man without hesitation.
But the bullets stopped in mid-air, unable to advance further.
The bullets lost their momentum and fell to the ground.
At the same time, the paper man suddenly realized that Guan Shan had disappeared. The young man who had been there moments ago was gone.
Guan Shan leaned against the corridor door, breathing a sigh of relief, feeling a chill down his spine.
Handguns were useless against the paper man! Fortunately, [Secret Behind the Door] was still useful. Now he just needed to wait.
Wait for Sun Han to arrive, or wait for an opportunity...
The paper man floated in mid-air, its hollow eyes bleeding more profusely, and its smile became more exaggerated.
Slap.
A bloody handprint suddenly appeared on the ground in front of the paper man.
The spot it touched caved in.
One, two, five, ten...
As the paper man floated forward, countless bloody handprints appeared along the corridor, covering Guan Shan's path, turning the entire passage into an AOE zone.
Slap slap slap slap...
In the blink of an eye, the bloody handprints reached Guan Shan, and of course... the paper man.
He took a deep breath.
[Ksitigarbha Statue·Buff Seven]! Shield on!
Guan Shan switched to the Demon Blade, moving from stillness to motion. Under the Buddha's light, he rolled forward, kicked off the ground, and leaped in front of the paper man!
The bloody handprints hit the shield, instantly cracking it.
