Chapter 220 Confrontation
The Newborn Snake and Milo were still searching back and forth on the surface, looking at the messy office at a loss. Chen Xiao'er had already led Ling deep into the underground, following the sound of dripping water to a cold iron door.
"The underground reservoir is right here, right?" Chen Xiao'er lowered her voice and put her ear close to it.
Hiss… so cold. There were some uneven reliefs on the coating that pricked my ears and made them feel icy.
"Yes, it should be behind here." Ling raised his finger and pointed at the sign above.
In fact, she didn't know what was behind it, but as long as Chen Xiao'er was sure that there was something behind it, it must be something very important.
"Okay~ Let's push at the same time." Chen Xiao'er seriously put her shoulders and arms forward and pushed in together with Ling.
Zero tacitly did not mention the "door lock", and the door opened slowly as they wished, without making any loud noise.
As soon as the heavy iron door was moved open, the sound of gurgling water behind the door immediately lingered in my ears.
A huge reservoir, so spacious that the other edge cannot be seen, appeared before our eyes. Its shape looked like a trapezoid at first glance, and the side closest to the gate was the narrowest part.
Not only was the reservoir dug deep, but a large section of the ceiling was also cleared upwards for water storage. It's likely that one side of the office building is completely hollowed out, with a special frame structure to house the water tanks and the corresponding water purification pipes.
There are pipe openings on every side of the trapezoidal reservoir and even under the water. It seems that water can be pumped in all directions from here.
There are many light tubes installed on the ceiling, but the ceiling is too high. The light sources become blurred when they reach the middle part, and the reflection of the water surface is brighter.
Chen Xiao'er took out her cell phone and wanted to turn on the flashlight, but was held down by a hand.
Ling didn't say anything, but gently shook the back of her hand, indicating her to look to the left.
Is there something on the left?
Chen Xiao'er glanced at the water in the pond and suddenly saw a blurry figure at the edge of the water. The figure was hunched over and pulled something out of his arms, about to throw it into the water!
Good boy, I finally caught him.
She immediately raised her phone to film, but then thought, this guy is poisoning someone?! Rather than filming the evidence, she couldn't let him throw something dirty into the water!
Chen Xiao'er quickly pulled Ling's hand. Without saying anything more, just a glance, Ling rushed towards the figure tacitly.
......
"Ouch~" The poisonous spider rubbed his waist and walked out of the crack.
Both of her legs were covered with burn marks. If it weren't for a soft gelatinous substance moving around her leg bones, her bones would have long been broken into a pile of charred powder.
She didn't go far.
Firstly, the legs are in this condition, and walking is only possible after the abnormality spreads to the wrist joints. Secondly...
"Bah, bah, bah! I'm going to kill you, you xx devil!" The poisonous spider touched its belly, inside which was a fake core that looked very much like nephrite.
When his palm touched the hot abdomen, the poisonous spider felt uncomfortable, proud and relieved.
This thing is the restraint and ability bestowed upon her by "that existence".
As long as this thing exists, she is destined to transform into something like an abyss creature at some point in the future, or she may fail to "evolve" and become some unlucky weirdo.
If the venomous spider had a choice, she would definitely not let such a dangerous thing enter her spiritual body. Unfortunately, the "luck" of being chosen by "God" cannot be rejected by humans.
Back then, the Spider Mother would use gentle means to control her thoughts, but this great being had no intention of comforting her at all.
Forget about mental manipulation. Apart from issuing tasks, His normal connections are completely disconnected, highlighting that He doesn't take you seriously.
The poisonous spider was very unhappy, but she also had her dignity!
Isn't it a huge burden to poison the Church of Light, and indeed all of humanity? They didn't even offer a kind word, let alone a rosy promise of a bright future.
If only I could escape.
Although she wanted to leave this mess behind and find a newer mercenary group to work for, Poison Spider knew that the "Great Being" would not let her go.
The devil dragged her into the rift at the same time, and the devil was quickly dragged into the energy flow by the toxin and the remaining power of "that person".
The energy in her body symbolizes "her own people", so she was able to successfully escape and float to a safer place along the energy flow.
Alas, although we say we have escaped from death, safety is always temporary.
The energy within the rift wasn't a humane way of letting her go, but rather a preordained arrangement by the Great Being. All anomalies and humans infected by this power would be swept to the shallows and surface, poisoning humanity.
The poisonous spider limped towards the surging energy flow. Part of these energy flows was specifically used to transport toxins to the surface. Injecting the energy in the body into these branches was also considered helping the great existence.
Doing so is actually an act of great waste.
The Great Being distributes toxins to living humans and anomalies in the hope that they will explode in densely populated areas, just like a potent drug attacks a virus. They don't really want them to pour the toxins back into the energy flow and ruin it.
The poisonous spider snorted coldly and half squatted down. She was just a small shrimp anyway, and the great existence was not connected to her in real time, so what was there to be afraid of!
She gently stroked her abdomen, attracting the poison to her mouth.
[Once I'm done with this, I'll no longer be human]
The toxin will accelerate the alienation of the organs. The moment it leaves the body, she will become an abyssal creature, a strange object, or die completely.
If I die in the end, does that count as my death as a human being?
Haha, it definitely doesn’t count.
The poisonous spider felt the pain of the poison flowing through its limbs and bones, and smiled bitterly at the little inspiration from the double entendre.
A small "nail" was driven into the tip of her tongue, and a pearl-shaped object gathered above the nail, which was the embodiment of the poison.
Ding-dong.
The pearl grew bigger and bigger, and the nail drilled out of the tongue with a bang, and a pool of blood spurted out with a hissing sound.
"Poof——" What happened?!
The poisonous spider did not scream or shout, she still remembered that the devil was hiding in the energy flow.
She covered her mouth and looked at the ground, only to see the "nails" and "pearls" she had spit out rolling down, and as they rolled, they turned into a box and a glass bottle.
What the hell? This is too scary. Am I losing my mind?!
Boom, boom.
Slight vibrations echoed in all directions, but did not cause any substantial shaking.
Could it be that the gods have descended? !
The poisonous spider coiled up, crouching on the dusty ground like a real spider. She would rather fall into the energy flow again than face the great being that caused this change.
Wow, wow, wow.
She heard the sound of flowing water, the invisible, colorless energy stream slowly transforming before her eyes, transforming into clear, transparent waves. The water droplets felt icy cold as they landed on her skin, then evaporated with a crackling sound.
This is...what a spectacular miracle.
The poisonous spider stared blankly at the rising cracks. Pieces of cement floors grew out of the dusty ground, and metal veins automatically melted and spliced together with clang clang clang sounds.
The water, the jugs and the huge lake merge into one another, transforming from the same texture of energy into completely different appearances.
"Oh my God..." She widened her eyes, shocked by this miracle from the bottom of her heart.
How lucky I would be if I could stand beside such a great being, even if I was only at the edge of his domain.
The poisonous spider no longer complained about not having received any promises. Why should a god with such great power make any promises to tiny insects? It is my honor to be able to make even the smallest contribution to His cause.
God's power is so unpredictable. Even if I transform into a strange creature, there is a slight possibility that He can turn me back into a human being, or even a more perfect being, right?
She couldn't help but touch her abdomen: there was no longer any strange heat or fever there, nor could she feel any discomfort in her organs or blood vessels.
It seemed that the gods had truly mercifully approved of her actions. Perhaps the time had come, and placing the toxins into the energy flow that had transformed into water was the correct approach?
Poison Spider half-knelt on the ground with a feeling of luck. She fumbled to pick up the glass bottle in the blurry reflection and screwed the lid on very piously.
Oh, great God, I am willing to be your believer, your minion, and an extension of your power.
At this moment, even though she knew that the devil was still lurking at the bottom of the pool, she still resolutely took a step forward and walked towards the center of the "lake".
The poisonous spider's pious state only lasted for 1 second, and her expression twisted in an instant in the next second: Damn, why doesn't this lake get deeper? I stepped in and it was bottomless!
Snap, snap.
The poisonous spider sank into the water and splashed the water vigorously, causing part of its body to fall quickly towards the shore.
A smug smile appeared on her face: Fortunately, I learned to swim when I was a child. It’s just a big pool—
Whoosh, bang.
The fist approached quickly with the sound of wind, and a huge force hit the back of her head. She seemed to hear the sound of her brain being turned into paste!
"Ouch!" the spider screamed and fell forward, losing all the balance she had just maintained. Her head was submerged in the water, and she could vaguely hear someone talking in her ears.
She couldn't hear those broken words at all, her spirit body trembled in the energy-changing water flow, because - *
Devil, that devil is chasing me!
It was indeed suppressed in this rift by the remaining power of the Great Being, but I was foolish enough to jump down. This is over, it has discovered me, it must be coming for me.
It is impossible for humans to outrun the devil hunters in the abyss.
The poisonous spider closed its eyes in despair, and opened them again with force the next second: No, I can't give up!
I've survived until today, under the watchful eyes and targeting of mercenaries, the Church of Light, and two consecutive gods. How could I die here, at the hands of a mere demon hunter?
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to see the shadow of a pair of hands on the water. Those hands were radiant with a soft glow, as if everything they touched would be blessed with peace and tranquility.
Oh God, I want to live.
The poisonous spider stretched out her hands towards the empty light. The moment she saw these hands, even if the devil's breath behind her became stronger and stronger, strong enough to tremble her soul, she would never give up hope.
......
"Zero!" Chen Xiao'er watched as Zero punched the black shadow into the water.
She quickly swallowed her accusations. "Zero was fighting the poisoner, so the violent sneak attack from behind was justified! I shouldn't be worried about Zero having mental problems just because of something like this..." Wait.
Chen Xiao'er's eyes suddenly widened: Oh no, that person fell in with the poison he was going to throw?!
She ran towards the pool with both legs spread out. "Hurry up and pull him out! Hey, it's mainly that thing!" The girl stretched out her hand towards the pool.
