Chapter 78



It is obvious that there is no complete "living creature" in this huge underground space.

But Wu Xiangwang, who was peeking out, seemed to see countless people and strange things in the space below, some wailing in pain, some cursing ferociously, and some screaming like crazy.

His spirit was suddenly struck by some powerful and invisible impact. He suddenly fell back and broke away from the hole that could be seen downwards, and almost lay on his back in the dark earth tunnel.

"What's wrong? What did you see?" Duoji stepped forward and helped Wu Xiangwang up, looking at the downward hole with some confusion and worry. Liusha stretched his head to look inside, but Wu Xiangwang suddenly pulled him back.

"You can't look at that stuff down there!" Wu Xiangwang's voice was stern. "As teammates, you must obey the captain's orders. I'm the captain now. You, you just squat down there and calm down for a while."

Once you're mentally prepared, I'll tell you what's underneath, and then you can decide whether to watch it or not."

Liu Shana stared at Wu Xiangwang with his beast-like eyes. Although he didn't understand why Wu Xiangwang said that, he saw genuine kindness and... a hint of pity in his eyes.

The brain that had been in chaos and madness due to the forceful infusion of the strange core seemed to understand something at this moment. He was silent for a moment, nodded, and squatted aside to calm down.

Don't forget each other, then he sighed softly.

Although it was just a brief glimpse, it was enough for him to infer many things.

First of all, there is what looks like the largest underground display wall with thousands or even tens of thousands of different hearts. The hearts are placed from bottom to top, and starting from the middle layer, the lower part is almost all beating, bright red, human-like hearts that are about the size of a human fist.

As you go up the wall, the hearts placed in the recessed holes change in color and size. The grids used for the hearts on the top two layers are very large and completely different from what a human heart should look like. There are about a dozen of them, but each one is filled with a strange sense of power.

That should be a strange heart, and a very strong strange heart at that.

However, the reason why he didn't let Liusha stick his head out to look was because Wu Xiangwang suddenly thought of the human corpse that Liusha had hidden in the space, which seemed to have a huge hole in the middle of the chest.

Perhaps the lost human heart is among these hearts.

Even if there weren't any, these hearts would be enough to make Liusha lose his mind in an instant.

So let him calm down first.

Apart from that, Wu Xiangwang thought of the two huge hearts emitting different lights in the huge space below, which were the most difficult for him to look at and bear.

If it weren't for the preconceived notions and the similar shapes reminding him, Wu Xiangwang would hardly have thought that the two things emitting light in the center were "hearts"—

One of the two hearts was crystal clear and white as snow, about the size of an entire house. It emitted a cold silvery light, and just looking at it would make you feel cold all over, as if your blood was freezing.

The other giant heart was slightly smaller than the snow-white one, its color resembling a brownish-yellow crystal with impurities. From a purely aesthetic point of view, Wu Xiangwang felt the crystal-clear white crystal heart was more appealing to him, not to mention that the brownish-yellow crystal heart itself exuded a gloomy, decadent aura.

However, although the white crystal heart was larger, Wu Xiangwang felt that the white crystal heart was about to be... swallowed.

Its light, as white as ice and snow, has been almost suppressed by the extremely strong brown-yellow light.

But it’s probably not appropriate to say “swallow”, since the heart doesn’t have a mouth after all.

However, there is a thick blood vessel connecting the two hearts. Even if Wu Xiangwang has no professional medical knowledge, he can see that it should be a "blood transfusion".

Or maybe it's bloodsucking.

Anyway, connected by the huge blood vessels that beat from time to time, the brown heart became fuller and more solid, while the white crystal-like heart was so weak that it seemed difficult to even beat.

Bang!

At this time, a huge heartbeat sound came from the cave entrance.

Wu Xiangwang came back to his senses, covered his chest and felt as if his heart was being pulled to beat a little.

He curled his lips at Doji and said, "That's what's over there." Wu Xiangwang pointed to his heart and said, "There are a lot of them. Some seem to carry resentment and crazy power. Take a look and see if you can bear it."

Doji hadn't expected there to be so many hearts below. He frowned slightly, finding it hard to imagine the scene. But he quickly took a deep breath and peered through the downward hole. Just one glance and he froze.

Then, he clenched his fists and took a step back.

"……frenzied!"

If each of those hearts below represents a person, then how many humans did that Jax kill? How many hearts did he eat?!

And, the most important thing is the two huge hearts in the middle. Which one belongs to Jax?

He thought it should be the huge brown heart, but even if he confirmed it, there was still a huge problem they had to face.

"This heart... is much bigger than I thought." Doji smiled bitterly.

Wu Xiangwang also understood what Duoji meant and rubbed his face: "That's right, that thing doesn't look like a small heart that can be crushed with a pinch of the hand."

The heart is Jax's most important part and also his biggest weakness. Although the heart is not in Jax's chest now, Jax will definitely sense it the first time something happens.

As long as they failed to destroy Jax's huge brown heart in the first place, Jax would definitely kill all of them once he got the heart back.

Moreover, Wu Xiangwang felt that if Jax put the brown heart that had absorbed a lot of energy from the white crystal heart back into his chest, his power might surge to such a terrifying level that they would not even be able to escape.

This becomes a life-and-death battle with only one chance, and there is a high probability that even if they use all their strength, they will still not be able to succeed in this life-and-death battle.

"That's not good."

Wu Xiangwang propped up his chin.

At this moment, Liusha turned around and flashed in front of Wu Xiangwang. "I'm ready. What's in there? A heart, right?"

Wu Xiangwang looked at his eyes, which seemed to have calmed down a lot, and then asked, "Who took the heart of that person in your space?"

Liusha tensed up in an instant, and his eyes changed color.

Wu Xiangwang and Duoji immediately prepared themselves for another fight with their crazy teammates, but Liusha finally panted and tugged at the silver chain on his wrist, saying hoarsely, "It's... me."

Wu Xiangwang widened his eyes slightly.

Liusha, with red eyes, growled, "It's me! Kill! Alan!"

At that time, he had just been forced by Jax to drink a level five strange nucleus. He did not die from the power of the level five strange nucleus, but in an instant he turned into the terrifying and weird appearance he has today.

He thought more than once that if he had died at that time, he would not have suffered madness and pain every minute and every day and night thereafter.

He had just become weird and had no reason at all, and he killed Rong Lan under the guidance of Jax.

At that time, Rong Lan was still telling his surviving teammates that he was definitely not the one who killed someone before, but he, he dug out Rong Lan's heart with one claw at that moment.

When he held the bleeding but still beating heart in his hand, all the sanity he had lost due to the strange core came back to him in that instant.

But he almost collapsed again, and he wanted to tear out his heart in pain.

But Alan, Alan still reached out and hugged him, even though he was already unrecognizable.

"Liu Sha, Liu Sha...don't cry..."

"Don't blame you, I know, cough... it's not your fault."

"You would never hurt your teammates, not even... me."

"...Liu Sha, do not succumb to madness and killing. You must remember that you are human."

The man covered in blood struggled to hold the ugly monster in his arms. His eyes were gentle, without a trace of hatred.

"Liu Sha, you are a human."

"No matter what you look like, you must remember that you are a human being!"

"You have to take me and all my teammates with you..."

"Don't give up, Liusha..."

"You have to go to the end and take us back home!"

The gentle and resolute man finally died in the arms of the captain he had always protected, with a smile on his face. But the ferocious monster let out a heartbreaking wail.

“Ahhh… Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh—”

While he was crying, the warm heart in his hand was mysteriously taken away by another.

Although it is not beautiful enough, it is also a powerful heart.

"It was me who killed Alan!!"

"I killed Alan!!!"

Liusha growled these words over and over again, becoming more and more angry and painful, more and more anxious and depressed, until he was once again embraced by a human.

He suddenly stiffened.

"Not you."

"I don't blame you."

"Liu Sha, you won't hurt anyone."

"Don't take your enemy's mistakes and cruelty personally. Just stay calm and return your anger to Jax."

"Liu Sha, we will definitely be able to kill Jax."

Liusha's body was stiff, and after a long time he suddenly whimpered and hugged the human who hugged him again with even greater strength.

This person is different from Alan, but he is as warm as Alan.

"So, Liusha. There are many hearts in the space below. If Ronglan's heart... is still there, then perhaps..."

Liusha's eyes widened instantly.

His voice trembled: "Heart? A-Lan's heart!"

"There are so many hearts down there, too many to count. But, there are so many human hearts. Can you... recognize Rong Lan's heart?"

Liusha looked at Wu Xiangwang, then looked at his huge claws, and finally laughed.

"I, can."

"Yes."

That was a warm heart that he had taken out with his own hands. How could he not recognize it?

Wu Xiangwang took a deep breath and said, "Then let's go down and take a look."

"Find Rong Lan's heart first."

Then, take a closer look at the relationships and weaknesses of those two giant hearts.

However, when Liusha was eagerly preparing to lead Wu Xiangwang and Duoji into the space below, his expression suddenly changed. A hint of anxiety appeared in those strange, beast-like eyes.

“I can’t get in!”

"Wang, Wang, Wang, I can't get in!"

Wu Xiangwang reached out and patted Liusha to calm him down: "That means we have found the right place. This is the place that Jacks treasures most. He will definitely set up protection here and not let anyone in."

"Don't be in a hurry and don't try to enter again, otherwise Jax will notice the problem." Wu Xiangwang said and lowered his eyes.

Not to mention destroying the hearts, they couldn't even get close to those two hearts now.

After a moment's silence, Wu Xiangwang came to the downward cave entrance again and looked at the huge space again.

This time his eyes were fixed on the huge white crystal heart that glowed faintly. If they could not break through the barrier from the outside.

Then, we can only look for internal partners.

Maybe you can find a big blind cat.

"Let's go back first and ask for information about the Lord of Anle City." Wu Xiangwang started, but after he finished speaking, he smiled and shook his head: "No need to ask, just find a cat."

Doji was slightly stunned when he heard Wu Xiangwang's words, but he soon looked at the huge white heart thoughtfully.

Liusha was still a little reluctant, but he still chose to believe Wangwang.

Just as they were about to leave, the giant heart of the white ice crystal suddenly beat! A silvery-white light instantly enveloped the entire underground space. Even the advanced concealment barrier couldn't completely suppress its vibration, and the entire underground passage began to tremble slightly.

Wu Xiangwang suddenly stopped and prevented Liusha from transferring space.

He was now the product of the bloodline of the Big-Toothed Ant. Although he was still in human form, his blood suddenly boiled because of the shock he experienced this time.

He even felt that the photos of the fierce creatures in his entire sea of consciousness were vibrating, as if attracted by something.

And that attraction comes from deeper underground.

"What's wrong?" Doji asked seriously.

Wu Xiangwang looked at Duoji and said, "Let's go down a little further."

Perhaps, there are deeper secrets waiting for them to unearth.

There was a hint of surprise in Doji's eyes, but he nodded and half squatted down, continuing to control the land to sink slowly.

Another hundred meters.

At this time, the pressure and temperature of the surrounding land had risen to a level that made it difficult for Doji to control his supernatural powers.

But what made Doji's face pale and unable to use his abilities for a long time was the terrifying and astonishing unknown power conveyed to him by the earth beneath his feet.

Even Liusha was staring at his feet with sweat on his forehead at this time. He reached out with sweaty hands to pull Duoji: "Don't go down! It's so strong! There are monsters down there! There are monsters down there!"

Yes, monster.

A monster that makes people tremble even before meeting it!

Wu Xiangwang also felt the oppression coming from all directions under the earth. Even when facing Abyss, he had never felt so pressured.

It felt as if an invisible hand was squeezing his heart, and if anything went wrong, he would explode and die.

But at the same time, the feeling of blood boiling also reached its peak.

"...You guys are here. I'm going to go down and take a look."

Doji and Liusha both showed expressions of strong disapproval, but Wu Xiangwang activated the completely strange state of the Big Tooth Ant in front of them.

"I can hold on in this form for a while, and I won't reveal anything."

"I kind of have an idea of what's down there... but I need to confirm it."

"Believe me, as long as this speculation comes true, we will have the most terrifying and powerful foreign aid."

"He will help us kill Jax."

Then Wu Xiangwang stroked the earth wall in front of him, took a deep breath, and clenched his right hand into a fist.

"I'll just take a look. Liusha, Doji, remember to pull me up at any time."

The fist instantly hit the soil underground, and amidst the silent thud and flying dust, another downward hole was revealed.

Wu Xiangwang stretched his head to take a look at the cave entrance, and then his whole body froze and he could no longer move.

He saw a pair of huge eyes like the finest jade, and then a dazzling white with a bright red.

The pupils of those eyes were almost straight, and Wu Xiangwang could not see any emotion in them. There was only hatred and madness that could destroy a person's sanity.

roar--

When the enormous beast roared silently at him, Wu Xiangwang could no longer bear it and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Liusha activated his ability immediately, and Wu Xiangwang looked at Duoji and said the last two words under his breath: "Seal it!"

Seal this place up and cover up all traces of their presence here.

Then, go find the final boost that can kill Jax!

dusk.

Wu Xiangwang sat alone on the tallest tower in the southwest abandoned area.

His friends were waiting at the top of the tower.

Shang Chong and his friends had been hiding from all the weird creatures in the city today, especially the weird guards from the City of Joy. Some of them seemed to have the special ability to determine the enemy's position by breath or blood. If they had not returned in time, Bao Ben, Meng Chang, Xiong Zhuang and Xiao Lajiao would all have been caught.

Obviously, a city-wide wanted order is a huge difficulty for these newcomers with only level 2 superpowers to deal with.

Even if he and Liusha were included, if they were really hunted by the weirdos throughout the city for three days, they would die of exhaustion.

Jacks's calculations were correct.

However, Wu Xiangwang looked at the blood-red setting sun and slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

Unfortunately, Jacks has too many plans and wants, but he only has two hands.

The plan is going to fail.

The hundreds of level three and level four monsters in the guard team quickly located them and surrounded the dilapidated tower.

Xue Lingkong stood high in the sky opposite the tower, looking at the handsome young man who was facing the setting sun without showing any fear even though he had no way to escape. Suddenly, he revealed an indescribable smile and waved to him.

Xue gently stroked her right eye, feeling her violently beating heart, and her expression suddenly became gloomy.

"Don't forget each other."

"I declare by the will of ice and snow that you are arrested."

Then, Xue looked at the human and showed no fear or despair at all. Instead, she smiled at him even more brightly and wantonly.

He said, "Young City Lord."

"Do you want to know where your mother is?"

In an instant, a storm surged in those eyes that were as green as the finest jade.

A violent snowstorm descended upon the entire old district in an instant.

The wind and snow are as sharp as knives!
