Chapter 2024: Rotten Arm
(4, 0);
"Where is this place?"
Lin Yue used his mind to control the sand and condense it into a human shape, revealing a puzzled look. Google search
The atmosphere here was completely different from that in the corridor, making him feel as if he was in an ethereal fairyland rather than a dangerous ruin.
But this thought only flashed through Lin Yue's mind and was thrown behind him.
Being in a ruin full of dangers, the more peaceful a place looks, the more likely it is to hide a huge murderous intention. All the calmness may be just an appearance, in order to confuse outsiders and make them let down their guard.
Lin Yue controlled the sand and stepped into the oasis. He immediately felt a vibrant atmosphere, but when he looked around carefully, he had a very incongruous illusion.
There was vitality everywhere, but he could sense a strong sense of death from every branch and every ancient tree he saw. This sense of incongruity made Lin Yue unable to react for a while.
Why do two completely different attributes appear together?
Just as the sand and gravel controlled by Lin Yue were about to move further into the oasis, a huge brute force suddenly erupted under his feet, and a deep crack appeared on the ground!
A blood-red arm as big as a giant poked out from the crack and grabbed the human figure condensed in the sand.
When Lin Yue controlled the gravel to jump up and spared time to look, he found that the surface of the arm was covered with rotten flesh and blood, and countless palm-sized maggots were wriggling in the rotten flesh.
What was even more bizarre was that a green energy representing recovery lingered on the arm, constantly repairing the rotten wounds. Whenever the green energy passed through a place, the maggots in the rotten flesh would be immediately killed and turned into ashes, and the wounds would begin to heal at an astonishing speed.
But at the same time, the rest of the arm began to show signs of festering, and disgusting maggots gradually began to breed in the flesh and blood. Two different forces were confronting each other on this arm!
Seeing this scene, Lin Yue's pupils shrank, and he finally understood why he had felt that uncomfortable before.
It turned out that the oasis on the surface was just an illusion. Whether it was the vitality or death he felt, it all came from this arm, or the owner behind this arm.
When Lin Yue looked deeper into the crack to explore the situation inside, a blood-red arm had already appeared in front of him, tightly grasping the human figure condensed from sand in its hand.
Bang!
The next moment, the sand was crushed by the huge palm, making a creepy muffled sound.
As Lin Yue's spiritual control was lost, the scattered sand and gravel dissipated directly into the air. An angry roar came from under the crack, as if venting its anger at Lin Yue's disappearance out of thin air.
However, after a few breaths, the arm retracted into the crack again, and the ground returned to its original state, with no apparent abnormalities.
Only Lin Yue knew what kind of terrifying monster was hidden under this oasis!
Inside the corridor.
Lin Yue slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.
For him at his current level, controlling the Book of Sand has become a piece of cake and he does not feel any effort at all, but the accident that just happened caused him to lose a small part of his spiritual power.
Even Lin Yue did not expect that the moment the arm touched the sand, it would cause real damage to his mind.
If it wasn't for the critical moment, Lin Yue decisively cut off the connection between himself and that part of the divine consciousness, the two different auras might even be traced back to his original body, causing very serious consequences.
Noticing Lin Yue's changed condition, Luo Yao and others quickly looked over with concern.
"Fellow Daoist Lord, are you okay?"
They saw beads of sweat oozing from Lin Yue's forehead and guessed that Lin Yue might have encountered some danger ahead. Could it be that those terracotta warrior statues really posed a huge threat to them?
Thinking of this, Luo Yao and the others looked a little nervous.
"It's nothing serious." Lin Yue calmed his breath and shook his head lightly.
One of the Immortals couldn't help but continue asking after hearing this.
"Fellow Daoist Lord, what is the situation ahead? How many terracotta warrior sculptures like that are there?"
Facing his question, Lin Yue narrowed his eyes and answered.
"There are a total of one hundred terracotta warriors in the entire corridor. Based on my simple observation, it seems that the strength of these terracotta warriors will not increase as we go deeper..."
Hearing Lin Yue's answer, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If the strength of all the terracotta warriors is only at the level of a cultivator at the Immortal Venerable level, and there are only a hundred of them and they are not gathered together, as long as we come up with some methods, it is still possible to get through without any injuries...
But Lin Yue's next words shocked them.
"But I just discovered that the real danger in this pyramid does not come from these terracotta warrior statues. There is an oasis-like space behind the corridor, and there is a very powerful monster hidden in it. I didn't have time to observe it carefully before it was killed in one move..."
Upon hearing this, many immortals uttered sounds of disbelief.
“What! Even you, the Divine Lord Daoist, find this strength terrifying. How far must it have come…”
"What kind of monster could make you, fellow Divine Lord, feel this way?"
"I didn't expect that passing the guards of these terracotta warriors wasn't the most difficult step..." (5,0);
Lin Yue stood up from the ground and continued with a serious look, "It's not clear yet, because I didn't see the real body of the monster. The only thing that destroyed my method was its arm that stretched out from the ground."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
Although they had guessed that there would be some dangers in the pyramid that could threaten everyone's lives, they had never imagined that it would be so serious. Just an arm of that unknown monster could make Lin Yue, the strongest among them, feel terrified...
After a long while, a cold female voice was heard. It was Qing Bingying who was standing not far away.
She looked solemn and asked Lin Yue, "Fellow Daoist Lin, do you think we have a chance of defeating that monster?"
Lin Yue pondered for a moment, looked at the other side of the corridor and spoke slowly.
"...Yes, but if we rely on brute force alone, we will most likely be wiped out. Its strange power is so powerful that even if a quasi-emperor comes in person, there is no guarantee that he can defeat it."
After hearing Lin Yue's answer, everyone fell silent again.
They didn't know why this was just a relic of the Immortal Venerable level, but why there were so many irresistible dangers one after another. Not to mention the strange monster that Lin Yue had detected in advance this time, the giant golden beetle and the terrifying number of insects they had encountered before were definitely not something that a cultivator at the Immortal Venerable level could deal with!
