This scene looks incredibly eerie...
Not only that, but shortly after the young man left, another person would come in and continue his previous actions, over and over again, as if it were an infinite loop...
Ling frowned and pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out the reason. So he gave up thinking about it and decided to wait and see.
Time passed slowly, and soon it was late at night, and no one came in from outside the stone chamber.
"call--"
She let out a soft sigh and stood up.
He walked again toward the wall next to the stone chamber.
The texture of the writing on the wall felt off, and he suspected that there was more to this wall than met the eye.
After looking it over, he grabbed the wall with his right hand and tore it off with force, removing all the dust from the wall.
Then he touched the wall with his left hand, rubbed it gently, and then squeezed it hard, causing the wall to dent.
Zero clenched his right fist and slammed it down hard against the stone wall.
This time, the wall collapsed completely, revealing a secret passage.
Seeing the pitch-black passage, Zero couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Although he didn't know where the passage led, he didn't stop and walked straight into it...
The passageway was dark and damp, with a musty smell permeating the air, causing Zero to involuntarily frown.
He strode quickly into the depths of the secret passage, carefully observing his surroundings as he went.
"Snap! Snap..."
A series of soft sounds reached Zero's ears, and he unconsciously quickened his pace, while simultaneously extending his divine sense to its maximum to search for the surroundings in order to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Finally, about ten meters away from him, he heard a faint panting sound.
The sound of panting startled him, and he immediately stopped and listened intently.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The heavy breathing grew closer, and Zero's heart began to race.
He slowly raised his head to look at the scene in front of him—he saw a corpse in front of him, and the corpse was slowly approaching him!
The corpse's eyes were wide open, its face was contorted, its legs were stiff, and a white tongue was sticking out of its mouth, with traces of blood still remaining at the tip. It was clearly a dead body!
The corpse's death was so gruesome that even from such a distance, he could clearly feel the eerie aura emanating from it.
Seeing the scene before him, Zero couldn't help but shudder. He quickly averted his gaze and turned away.
However, just as he took a step, he suddenly felt a strong gust of wind coming from behind. This gust of wind was extremely fierce and carried a strong killing intent, which made Zero dare not make any rash moves. He quickly turned around to avoid the attack.
"Boom!"
With a loud bang, a large hole was smashed into a solid wall by the sharp gust of wind.
"Splash..."
With a loud bang, a skeleton crawled out of a large hole in the wall.
As soon as the skeleton crawled out, the bones made a cracking sound.
"Huh? What is this thing?"
Zero was startled by the sudden turn of events and quickly turned around.
The skeleton was covered in countless cracks, as if it would shatter completely at any moment.
"boom--"
Another loud bang, and the skeleton's body suddenly exploded, sending bone fragments flying everywhere. In an instant, the entire secret passage was filled with a nauseating stench.
Zero covered his nose and quickly took several steps back. He stared in horror at the skeleton that had turned to dust after the explosion, unsure how to describe his feelings at that moment...
"Whoosh—"
A slight whooshing sound reached his ears, and he saw a small white insect crawl out from the skull's broken body.
It was flying very fast, seemingly searching for something.
Upon seeing the small white insect, Zero felt a sense of foreboding.
"Oh no! These are Soul-Eating Worms, which specialize in devouring human souls."
At the same time, the voice of the earth spirit also came from within the space.
"Soul-Eating Worm? Why does that name sound so familiar?"
Ling's brows furrowed slightly.
He seemed to have heard that word somewhere before...
That's right! Wasn't the previous Soul Eater also like this, specifically devouring souls...?
"Little Jiu!"
Xiao Jiu called out from within the zero-direction space.
If it's like the Soul Devourer, Xiao Jiu should be able to handle it!
"Leave it to me."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu quickly replied.
Without further ado, a ball of light shot out like lightning, heading straight for the Soul-Devouring Worm.
The Soul-Eating Insect seemed somewhat afraid of the light and shadow, and actually turned around and fled quickly.
But no matter how fast the Soul-Eating Insects escape, how could they possibly outrun light and shadow?
In the blink of an eye, the light and shadow caught up with it and sucked it into its mouth before the Soul-Eating Worm could react, then returned to the zero space.
It's a long story, but it's actually only a matter of a breath.
The Soul-Eating Insects had absolutely no chance of resisting Xiao Jiu!
However, although the Soul-Eating Insects were dealt with, the corpse ahead posed a problem. If he wanted to move forward, he had to dispose of that corpse first...
"roar!"
Just then, the corpse in front of him suddenly roared, and then its body swayed violently, rushing directly in front of Zero and baring its fangs and claws as it pounced on him!
Zero's pupils dilated suddenly, and he hurriedly waved his hand, unleashing a palm strike imbued with spiritual power directly at the corpse.
The corpse's head was knocked to the side, but it continued to attack him frantically.
Although the corpses were ferocious, they had no intelligence and only knew how to kill, so Zero's attacks were effortless.
Zero dodged quickly, his body seemingly transforming into a blur as he weaved past the corpse.
Although the corpse was quite powerful, it had no chance to fight back against Zero. It couldn't even touch the hem of Zero's clothes.
After running for an unknown amount of time, Zero finally stopped, and the corpse collapsed.
The corpse's body fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud.
Zero turned around and looked at the corpse lying on the ground. He took a deep breath, and his tense nerves relaxed slightly.
The corpse's head had been completely destroyed, but its brains were still spilling out and scattered on the ground, a horrifying sight!
Just then, a beam of light suddenly shone down and landed on the corpse.
In an instant, the entire corpse, including the remains that fell from it, vanished without a trace...
Zero was stunned by the situation before him.
What's going on? Where is this light coming from?
Just as Ling was momentarily stunned, the light appeared again, this time landing directly on his head.
The light gathered more and more, gradually forming a sphere of light.
Then the ball of light slowly shrank, eventually becoming a fist-sized sphere that hovered above Zero's head.
