As soon as he lifted his foot, he felt dizzy and his legs went limp. He fell to the ground and began to retch. At the same time, a rotten smell lingered around him.
However, after this fall, Joel came to his senses. He remembered that he seemed to know some magic, and immediately cast a light magic, making the light shine nearby.
Only then did Joel see clearly what was happening around him.
Joel found himself in a rotten wooden house. The furnishings in the house were covered in dust, but there were no cobwebs. Behind him was a space-time passage that could lead him back to the World Tree, which made Joel feel a little relieved.
Sitting on a chair in the wooden house was a loose skeleton that had completely turned into dry bones. Joel was a little creepy looking at it, and he didn't dare to go forward to look at any bone relics: if he had any relics.
After looking around the entire cabin and not finding anything else useful, Joel calmed down and began to explore outside the cabin.
There was a long bluestone staircase outside the wooden house, extending downwards. At first glance, Joel couldn't tell how long it was. After hesitating for a moment, Joel still didn't dare to open the door and walk down the bluestone staircase.
What is down there? What kind of world is this? Why is there a wooden house here?
All kinds of doubts filled Joel's heart. Now Joel was both curious and afraid. This strange mentality jumped back and forth in his heart, making Joel want to go on but not want to, and he was very entangled.
"The brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation."
“Wealth and honor are sought in danger!”
Although the elves did not have such words, they had similar meanings. After a moment's hesitation, vanity finally overcame timidity. Joel bravely pushed open the door. With a creak of the wooden door, Joel officially took the first step.
"Crack—"
"Crack—"
"Crack—"
The swaying sound of the wooden door began to echo in the empty space, over and over again, like ripples falling into a pond, which made Joel, who had just raised his lofty ambitions, fall into confusion again.
“Tick-tock!”
Suddenly, a stream of icy liquid dripped onto Joel's neck, making him feel a chill that penetrated deep into his bones. Joel raised his head in confusion, wanting to see where the liquid was dripping from, but he only saw a pair of reddish-brown eyes!
"ah--!!!"
Frightened by the reddish-brown eyes, Joel fell to the ground and let out a cry of fear.
Joel's cry was like a switch. The moment he cried, everything changed. Pairs of reddish-brown eyes began to emerge from the sky, like a torch relay. One blood-red eye after another appeared in Joel's sight. Along with the strange shouts, Joel became even more frightened and began to climb backwards frantically.
Now he has long forgotten all his ambitions. He just wants to escape as soon as possible and return to the protection of the World Tree while being chased by these monsters, so that the World Tree can bless him.
Sharp sounds echoed in Joel's ears. Joel now just wanted to crawl back wholeheartedly and had no intention of turning back to resist the monsters. He even kept praying in his heart, hoping that these monsters did not see him.
It’s a pity...he forgot one thing.
That is, his light magic has not been turned off yet. In the monster's vision, Joel is like a living target with a lantern. It is so simple that it cannot be simpler.
Such a living target is really easy to hit.
The monsters rushed towards the source of the light, but in just a few moments, Joel was enveloped in this sea of monsters. With a few terrifying shouts, Joel's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally gradually disappeared, turning into a pile of bones covered in blood.
While being scrambled for, Joel's skeleton was pushed and thrown down the bluestone steps. With a sound of it hitting the ground, it was discovered that the place was covered with bones and corpses, just like a mass grave, eerie and terrifying.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, an eerie noise was heard in the distance. In the darkness, a figure as heavy as a mountain of flesh appeared amidst the corpses. He looked at the wooden house on the green wooden stairs, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes. He laughed heartily and said, "This...this is...a spatial...fluctuation...there's a new world...taken...the bait!"
His voice was halting, as if he had not practiced for a long time. He talked to himself excitedly, and at the same time, he waved his hand, and those monsters with red eyes immediately began to fly rapidly around him.
The flesh-like figure seemed to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded. He pointed his giant finger at the wooden house on the steps and said, "There... the passage... charge... charge... I will ask... the Holy Ancestor... for a reward..."
With a command, the monsters with red eyes instantly flew towards the wooden house at a rapid speed.
These monsters with red eyes were like a red ocean, appearing extremely ferocious in the darkness. They passed through the wooden house and entered the transmission channel, feeling familiar with the route as if they had experienced it many times.
Their purpose is simple, which is to enter a new world, devour all the living things there, and then devour that world and make it a part of their world.
