Chapter 52 Connection
The moment he heard those four words, Li Lin felt his blood run cold.
The previous moment he was feeling sorry for Yu Sheng who was killed by a monster's sneak attack, and the next moment he felt that he might not live longer than the other person.
"How could it be... The information never mentioned that there was a dark angel parasitic in this place..." Li Lin muttered to himself. Under the cold gaze from the sky, he felt that more and more noisy noises were emerging in his mind, "How could it be..."
"In sleeping state, each dark angel has different characteristics... It's better to continue fighting with the angel believers in the wasteland!" Xu Jiali couldn't help but swear. He couldn't understand why the situation took a sudden turn for the worse when he was returning on business and performing a relaxing surveillance mission at the border.
Everything was so unexpected to him - he suddenly fell into a foreign land, and suddenly saw the "door-opening weirdo" whom he had met once before on the wasteland planet. He also saw a half-meter-tall puppet and a fox demon that looked like it had been exiled for a century standing next to him. Before he could say a few words, the mysterious "door-opening weirdo" died suddenly in front of him, and the puppet's reaction was also outrageous. Then there were more hungry entities, and a dark angel appeared in the sky...
Even if he put his imagination together in this life, he couldn't simulate the weird series of events today! The wolves' restless growls came from all around, and the wolves made of shadows were circling around. The gaze from the cold eyeball in the sky made these strange creatures feel great pressure and even fear. However, Little Red Riding Hood, who was riding on one of the wolves, frowned: "...Strange, why don't those monsters come over?"
Irene, who was being held in Hu Li's arms, was stunned when she heard this, and then she also noticed that something was wrong.
The giant beasts of flesh and blood that gathered around the ruins of the dilapidated temple were still roaring and patrolling in chaos, but the strange thing was that although a while had passed from then to now, not a single monster had moved forward, and not a single monster had launched an attack.
The indifferent one-eye floating in the sky just observed quietly, and seemed to have no intention of taking further action.
"I think we'd better run now," Li Lin broke the silence, "Don't worry about why these monsters are in a daze."
Little Red Riding Hood interrupted Li Lin and said calmly, "Where are you running to?"
The cold single eye in the sky was watching every inch of the valley, and this entire foreign land was changing as if it had come alive. Under the gaze of that eye, the thought of running away would be instantly shattered by the despair of having nowhere to escape and nowhere to hide.
But at this moment, Irene seemed to remember something and raised her head in Hu Li's arms: "You just said that something similar happened before? It was the same on the day the immortal died. Your parents hid you in a cave at that time?"
Hu Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly.
"Where is that hole?!"
Hu Li finally reacted, holding Irene and turning around and leaving: "I remember! It's near the back mountain, I'll take you there!"
But suddenly, she stopped again and looked at Yu Sheng's body on the ground hesitantly.
The benefactor's eyes are still open and he looks like he is dying with his eyes open.
"Benefactor... Benefactor, what should I do?" the fox girl asked at a loss.
Although she knew about Yu Sheng's "resurrection from the dead", she didn't know too many details because of the limited time they spent together last time and Yu Sheng didn't have time to explain too much to her.
"Just leave it here, don't worry about it," Irene said immediately. She had communicated with Yu Sheng a lot and obviously knew more information than Fox. "It will be gone soon. He will find a way to find me."
Hu Li was stunned and nodded blankly.
Irene then remembered something and added quickly, "Oh, where's the kitchen knife I just threw... Oh, it's on the ground over there, help me pick it up. Hey, hang the painting on me first, I can't be separated from this painting... Is the knife broken? It's okay if it's not broken. If I lose this thing, he will definitely say that I don't want the body anymore, it's useless..."
The little puppet was giving orders in a clattering manner, and the fox girl was executing them stupidly. The three people, Li Lin, felt it was extremely weird. They watched Hu Li carefully pick up the kitchen knife that was worth no more than a hundred yuan in the supermarket, but directly ignored the body of his companion on the ground. After holding it in for a long time, Little Red Riding Hood finally couldn't help it: "You're just going to leave him here?!"
Irene poked her head out of Hu Li's arms: "It's not easy to run away with him!"
Little Red Riding Hood opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by a roar coming from the depths of the valley.
The mountains in the distance cracked apart, and countless black boulders rolled down from the top of the mountain. In the ever-widening cracks, flesh and blood actually grew from the mountain, and its sharp teeth ground on the rocks, making a terrifying roar.
The forest was shaking, and big trees fell down one after another, as if their disguises had been stripped off. Countless tentacles with sharp teeth grew out from the places where the trees fell, roaring in unison.
The giant beasts that were originally prowling around the ruins of the dilapidated temple and were in a strange and slow state seemed to be stimulated and began to become restless.
Upon seeing this, Irene screamed in surprise, raised her broken arm and patted Hu Li's shoulder: "Oh my god! We shouldn't stay here any longer! We're leaving first, you three can follow us if you want!"
As Irene finished speaking, Hu Li had already turned around and rushed to the back of the ruins of the dilapidated temple with Irene in his arms, flying towards a gap at the bottom of the valley.
Li Lin and the other two looked at each other. Although their minds were full of questions, there was only one choice left at this time.
They quickly caught up with the fox that had already run far away and ran towards a "shelter".
Little Red Riding Hood turned back for the last time and looked in the direction where Yu Sheng fell.
She gritted her teeth, and one of the wolves in the pack broke away from the group and rushed towards Yu Sheng's remains.
However, after running a few steps, the wolf stopped as if he had forgotten his mission. Then he wandered there for two seconds, turned around and returned to the wolf pack around Little Red Riding Hood.
Little Red Riding Hood did not look back, but drove the wolves to run wildly, protecting the other people in the team while keeping up with the footsteps of the silver-haired fox demon in front.
She had already forgotten the pool of blood she had left behind.
Around the ruins of the dilapidated temple, those restless flesh and blood beasts gradually calmed down at some point.
These entities derived from "hunger" seemed to be lost. They stood among the ruins, their deformed and hypertrophied eyes looking around, their hideous and ugly limbs swinging aimlessly in the air, their huge mouths opened, and vague mumblings like dreaminess came from their mouths full of sharp teeth.
Suddenly, a clear word was uttered among the indistinct mutterings of the flesh-and-blood beasts:
“It smells so good.”
One will speaks through their mouths.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Smells so good.
Should eat.
The giant beasts shook their bodies, and the eyes that were originally scanning the surroundings gradually stopped turning blindly. One by one, the eyes stabilized and their gazes fell on each other.
Eat, but not because of hunger.
That which devours all, that which is above all...eat, yes, it is time to eat.
And then, there is cold tranquility and the eternity of mercy - because it is ultimately all-consuming, and is the ultimate fairness and the end.
The first giant flesh and blood beast moved. It staggered to the side of the other entity. Without any fancy attack moves, it simply opened the largest mouth on its body and bit down greedily.
The one being bitten did not dodge, nor even wail.
As if it was completely unaware that it was being devoured by its own "kind", the monster simply swayed its body and took a step forward, with a "kind" hanging on its body that was gnawing at it, and then walked towards the other entity closest to it.
None of the "Entity-Hunger" tried to chase the prey that had already escaped, as if at some moment just now, their nature had changed - drawing power from hunger became an unimportant thing, and the noble eating became their only mission.
In the center of the ruins of the dilapidated temple, the last bit of blood left after the death was slowly seeping into the soil. Where the bloodstain spread, the color of the soil was gradually changing, slowly, but gradually accelerating, and it was unstoppable.
However, the indifferent giant eye floating in the sky seemed to pay no attention to the changes happening on the surface - it just hung high in the sky, and there was no emotion or sign of thought that could be understood by humans in its huge eyeball. It continued to observe the valley, but because its scale was so huge that it was impossible to determine where its "focus of vision" was from the perspective of the surface.
If the vision of that transcendent mortal really does have a "focus".
But Yu Sheng felt this "focus" because the focus of attention was now on him.
After floating in the darkness for a while, an indescribable sense of "connection" woke him up. At first, he thought he had been resurrected, but soon he realized that he was still in a "death" state, but this time the "death" seemed to be different from the previous ones.
He found that he had an extra "perspective" in the darkness. At first, this perspective confused him because the strange observation angle and multiple layers of overlapping information made his thinking chaotic, but gradually, he realized one thing.
He is responding to the gaze from the sky with the gaze of this "foreign land".
He established a connection with the valley.
