Chapter 51 Awakening
It’s not over yet.
Almost at the moment when Hu Li finished speaking, Yu Sheng realized what the other party meant by "not over yet".
He heard chaotic roars coming from the dense forest one after another, and heard the terrifying and hollow sound of wind suddenly echoing in the valley. The strange and gloomy atmosphere that permeated the entire foreign land did not decrease with the death of the giant flesh and blood beast just now. Instead, it suddenly became several times stronger. A kind of heavy, almost stagnant malice and gaze surged in from all directions, as if something was awakened and was falling into a rage.
"What is this?!" Yu Sheng looked at the fox girl who seemed to know something and asked quickly.
"I don't know, but it has appeared," Hu Li said with fear on his face while hiding behind Yu Sheng, "The immortal died on the day that happened. Something woke up, and the immortal took the rest of the people outside. He never came back, and later only his corpse was found..."
The fox girl trembled slightly and lowered her head: "Mom and Dad...hid me in a cave and didn't let me see the outside. I don't know what it is. If I get out, everyone will be dead..."
Yu Sheng quickly understood the situation from Hu Li's disjointed and incomplete narration.
The truly terrifying thing in this valley was not the giant beast of flesh and blood! Or rather, it was not just the giant beast of flesh and blood—something more powerful was sleeping in the depths of this darkness, and since he and Irene entered this valley, that thing had probably been gradually waking up.
Yu Sheng gritted his teeth, weighed the pros and cons quickly, and immediately ran towards Irene who was not far away.
"We can't continue fighting," Yu Sheng said quickly, "There's something even more sinister in this valley - Plan B, retreat first, I'll open the door. How are you? Can you still move?"
Irene tried to support herself on the ground with her hands and wanted to stand up, but as soon as she exerted force, she heard a slight cracking sound, and her arms broke at the elbows. The broken parts fell to the ground and shattered.
"No, and my legs are damaged. If I force myself to stand up, they will probably break." The little doll raised his arms in frustration. "I said that this thing you made is not strong... You mixed sand into the clay..."
To be honest, Yu Sheng was really shocked when he saw Irene's arms were broken. After all, he had never dealt with a living doll before, and he didn't know how serious this situation was. But when he heard Irene's complaint, he was relieved instantly: "Can it be repaired?"
Irene nodded: "Yes, but I must go back."
Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Irene could no longer stand on her own, he untied the picture frame behind the doll, adjusted the rope buckle, and put it on his back. He then reached out and picked up Irene, letting her sit on his left arm.
Irene protested slightly, as if she felt it was a bit embarrassing, but the puppet with a broken arm had no deterrent effect at all. In the end, she had no choice but to calm down and sit obediently on Yu Sheng's arm.
Yu Sheng stretched out his free right hand into the air, and after a brief moment of concentration, a door with floating illusory light and shadow appeared at the end of his arm.
He noticed that three strangers who appeared out of nowhere not far away (the young man among them looked familiar for some reason) had strange looks in their eyes when they saw him open the door, and they all looked at him.
But he didn't have time to think about it. After confirming that the passage was established, he pulled open the illusory door.
Opposite the door is the living room of No. 66 Wutong Road.
"The safe passage is here, everyone, evacuate quickly," Yu Sheng said quickly, "before that monster regenerates!"
He looked at the fox girl who was standing not far away and looked a little nervous and hesitant: "Hu Li, you are the first one - don't be afraid, the other side of the door is a safe place."
Then he turned to look at Li Lin and the other two: "You three, although I don't know who you are, thank you for your help just now - come with me later."
With Yu Sheng's encouragement, Hu Li finally plucked up the courage to walk over and stepped towards the illusory door.
However, just when she was about to touch the passage, a strange whistling sound suddenly came from not far away, and then Yu Sheng felt a gust of wind suddenly coming from behind him!
Countless pieces of information suddenly emerged in his mind, coming from nowhere - several eyes focused on the ruins of the dilapidated temple, the perspective extending from the distant sky and the depths of the valley, the chaotic and cold touch, and... the joy of being about to eat.
Yu Sheng turned around suddenly and saw a bloody giant beast that had appeared in the night at the edge of the ruins. The middle of the beast was cracked open, and a long tongue like a sharp arrow shot out from it, piercing his chest in the blink of an eye.
He only had time to push Irene aside in his arms and had no chance to dodge, so the blow pierced his heart.
The monster had regenerated? So quickly? Or... was it another one? Several questions flashed through Yu Sheng's mind in an instant, and as his consciousness quickly sank into darkness, he heard Hu Li's terrified cry, Irene's scream, and the howling of the wolves.
The illusory door in the air flickered twice and quickly dissipated, and Yu Sheng's body fell backwards. In his distorted and darkened vision, he saw layers of shadows floating on the edge of the ruins, and in the depths of each shaking shadow, a monster of flesh and blood was slowly forming. Countless greedy mouths opened in the valley, the woods in the distance were full of foraging tentacles, the distant mountains were covered with sharp teeth, and the sky... was gradually cracking a narrow crack from the edge.
“My benefactor!” Hu Li was the first to rush over to Yu Sheng. Even though she had seen Yu Sheng come back to life after dying before, her confused mind obviously could not react at this time. When she saw Yu Sheng fall, her first reaction was still horror, “You, you, you…what happened to you…”
"What else can we do? It looks like he's dead!" Irene's loud beeping quickly interrupted the fox girl's cries. The little doll fell to the ground and struggled to move. "This shouldn't be the first time you've seen this. Calm down!"
Hu Li was stunned for a moment, and his slow and confused mind reacted a little, and then he stared blankly at Yu Sheng's body.
The fox girl wrinkled her face, with a conflicted expression as if she wanted to cry but knew she shouldn't. However, given the atmosphere, she would feel a little sorry for her benefactor if she didn't cry - and she would feel even more sorry if she cried.
Li Lin standing by obviously had no idea what Yu Sheng was like. When he saw the giant beast of flesh and blood not far away, he tensed up instantly. He was alert to the monster's next move while comforting the puppet lying on the ground and the fox demon next to him: "I'm sorry, but the dead cannot be resurrected - the most urgent thing is to solve..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard the miserable puppet reply, "It's okay, he will be alive in a while - but we have to wait for 20 to 30 minutes for him to come back and open the door. The fox next to you, help me get up, and don't forget the painting on the ground."
When Hu Li heard this, he hurriedly pulled out the painting frame that was pressed under Yu Sheng's body, and then held the unable to move Irene in his arms.
Li Lin and the other two looked at this scene with astonishment. They felt that the puppet's reaction was totally incomprehensible and even suspected that it was a manifestation of excessive sadness.
But they soon no longer had the energy to pay attention to these things.
Chaotic roars came one after another from the darkness near the ruins of the dilapidated temple. The heart-pounding aura of madness continued to appear. Even Xu Jiali, who was experienced in combat, had a stiff expression in an instant after seeing the situation around her clearly.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Hideous monsters made of flesh and blood are appearing one after another in the darkness.
The roar filled the entire valley.
"Shit!" Li Lin exclaimed, "How could so many of them appear?! Doesn't the information say that only one Hungry Entity is generated at a time?!"
Xu Jiali at the side slowly raised her head and swallowed hard before breaking the silence: "What if this valley has been parasitized by an 'angel'..."
"What do you mean..." Li Lin said subconsciously, and then he noticed the direction Xu Jiali was looking at.
He saw that the valley was slowly moving and undulating in the night.
There are sharp tooth-like structures that appear on the outlines of the mountains in the distance.
But what was even more terrifying than that was the sky—the sky opened up.
The foreign sky, which seemed to be covered with a thick veil and was always in a state of chaotic night, was changing. One of its edges gradually cracked in front of everyone's sight, and a faint light suddenly appeared in the gap, followed by the truth behind the veil.
It was not a curtain at all, nor was it a dark cloud.
That's the eyelid.
It is an eye that is always closed, covering the entire foreign land and creating an eternal night here.
Now it opened, and its eyeballs stared coldly at everything below. The hollow, sunken pupils were filled with chaotic lines and flickering light, as if it was carefully observing the prey in the valley. The scattered light even dispelled the eternal night in this foreign land to a certain extent - "light" had descended, bringing endless terror.
The howling cold wind woke Li Lin from his fear, and he heard mumbling voices beside him.
It was Xu Jiali, a senior deep diver with more than ten years of service experience, who whispered a term -
"Dark Angel..."
