Chapter 54 Yu Sheng's Return
The chewing sound that filled the entire valley gradually became like waves. The entire foreign land turned into a feast at this moment, and soon everyone hiding in the cave realized what this sound meant.
Li Lin bravely came to the cave entrance and looked outside with a tingling scalp.
The sharp teeth in the mountains are biting each other, the trenches like giant mouths are collapsing inwards, and more cracks are constantly differentiating, devouring and melting each other, the feeding tentacles all over the ground have begun to digest themselves, and giant beasts of flesh and blood are constantly breeding from certain shadows, but they are swallowed up by invisible forces in the blink of an eye.
Against the backdrop of this horrific feast, he saw a figure - Yu Sheng was standing in the open space outside the cave, staring in a trance at the scene of mutual devouring in the valley outside.
Li Lin was a little dazed for a moment, but he forgot about the slight inconvenience in the blink of an eye - he had forgotten the scene of Yu Sheng's death, and only felt that the other party had just left the team halfway.
Hu Li and Ailin, who were guarding the cave entrance, also saw Yu Sheng's figure for the first time.
"Benefactor! You are not dead!" Hu Li was the first to shout, but then she became a little nervous, "Benefactor, please come in! It's dangerous outside!"
Yu Sheng then turned around and walked a few steps quickly into the cave, muttering as he walked: "I feel that the thing in the sky is a bit weird, but it doesn't seem to have any desire to attack..."
Irene didn't pay attention to what Yu Sheng was mumbling, but just looked at him nervously: "Are you really okay? Are you mentally normal?"
"Can't you hope for me to be well?!" Yu Sheng immediately glared at the puppet, "Is it easy for me to come back?"
As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced outside the cave entrance: "'Hunger' should be finished, but I don't know where the big eyeball in the sky came from. It is not one and the same as 'Entity-Hunger', and it doesn't even look like something originally in this valley."
Irene had prepared a lot of trash talk to ease the atmosphere, but was stunned when she heard this: "Ah? It's not in this valley?"
"No," Yu Sheng shook his head. Until this moment, he still maintained a subtle connection with this foreign land, so he could still clearly distinguish the gaze falling from the sky, and distinguish the "boundary" between the eye and the valley. "Now all the hungry entities are under my perception. I can clearly feel that the eye is a foreign thing - it's just that it has been 'lying' in the sky above this foreign land for many years, replacing the original sky here."
Irene opened her mouth, seemingly stunned by surprise. At this moment, a deep voice came from deep in the cave, breaking the silence.
"That's 'Angel'."
Yu Sheng looked up in surprise and saw a burly man nearly two meters tall walking out from the depths of the cave. The dark blue fox fire cast a clear shadow on the man's cheek.
The sturdy man looked Yu Sheng up and down, with a look of unusual solemnity and caution: "Did you fall behind before?"
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Yu Sheng always felt that the other person looked at him in a strange way, with great vigilance and alertness. It couldn't be said to be hostile, but it didn't seem like the concern or suspicion that one would have when seeing a temporary companion who had "fallen behind and returned".
However, Yu Sheng did not delve into it further at this moment. He was more concerned about the strange name that the strong man had just mentioned.
"I didn't catch up just now. Don't worry, it's nothing serious." Yu Sheng waved his hand and then asked, "What do you mean by 'angel'?"
"A more accurate name is 'Dark Angel', a dangerous thing of unknown origin. Sometimes it also refers to special phenomena caused by these dangerous individuals," the sturdy man pondered for a moment and said slowly, "Each Dark Angel is different, from their form to their abilities to the way they appear. There are huge differences, and the one occupying the sky right now should have parasitized this foreign land many years ago. It was because of its influence that the entities here mutated."
Yu Sheng listened to the other party's story in surprise, and then quickly realized that the big man in front of him should know more information, and there must be more detailed information about the so-called "Dark Angel".
But the other party didn't tell me everything, and I didn't know if he had any confidentiality requirements or was worried about something.
But this is normal. After all, no one knows each other. Although they have fought side by side, no one has introduced themselves yet. In this case, being willing to share information when meeting is already a manifestation of sincerity.
"My name is Yu Sheng," Yu Sheng took the initiative to extend his hand to the other party, "These two are Hu Li and Ai Lin - they are both my friends."
The 2-meter-tall man hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and shook Yu Sheng's hand: "Hello, my name is Xu Jiali."
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment.
After a moment he opened his mouth: "Well, I didn't hear you clearly, your name is...?"
"He said his name is Xu Jiali, the same as the beautiful girl," the girl in red sitting on a stone bench broke the silence and looked up at Yu Sheng, "You can just call me Little Red Riding Hood."
Yu Sheng blinked his eyes and suddenly realized: "Oh, I see, you guys are obviously in this business, you use code names when you go out, right?"
The 2-meter-tall muscular man spoke in a muffled voice: "She is a code name, and I am my real name."
Yu Sheng: “…”
What could he say? He could only sigh awkwardly that the name was actually quite nice and sounded culturally profound, and then his eyes fell on the last young man who had not yet spoken.
He always felt that the other person's face looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember where it was.
Li Lin did not hesitate. When he saw his eyes on him, he walked over openly and said, "My name is Li Lin."
Before Yu Sheng could say anything, Irene on the side suddenly shouted: "Hey! This name is normal!"
Li Lin was speechless for a moment. He looked at the personnel composition of Yu Sheng's team - a fox demon with a bunch of tails, and a puppet that was more than half a meter tall from head to toe. The three of them together could make up a human being. He actually had the nerve to lament whether other people's names were normal...
But his attention soon shifted elsewhere.
The chewing sounds coming from outside the cave were gradually getting lower, and the vibrations that filled the entire foreign land seemed to be weakening rapidly.
Xu Jiali rushed to the cave entrance in a few steps, stuck her head out and looked out, and saw that the entire valley had almost been turned upside down.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It was as if a layer had been eaten away from the distant mountain to the nearby valley, leaving only countless rugged rocks and bare soil on the mountain. The forest in the distance had disappeared, and the ground below the hillside was full of gullies.
He suddenly turned around and looked at Yu Sheng who was standing next to Hu Li.
"Did you do this?"
Xu Jiali seemed a little hesitant when asking this question. He knew it sounded a bit outrageous, because the strange and terrifying scene in the valley did not seem like something a "human" could do no matter how he looked at it. However, his intuition told him that all this was related to Yu Sheng's brief "departure from the team" just now.
"I guess so," Yu Sheng responded quite happily. He was in a good mood now, with a sense of satisfaction from finally having a full meal filling his heart. He nodded happily, "Although it took a lot of effort."
Li Lin also saw the scene in the valley at this time. When he turned back to look at Yu Sheng, the astonishment on his face could not be described: "...How is this possible..."
Yu Sheng thought about it and found it difficult to explain to outsiders what happened - he was eaten by "hunger", but his appetite was much greater than "hunger"? A human () mentally polluted an entity, so the "hunger entity" that ate the dirty thing ate himself because of its appetite? This is not a question of whether it is easy to explain, but a question of who is the villain after explaining it.
What's more, he didn't want these unfamiliar people in front of him to know too much about himself.
"Lucky, we found the entity's weakness," Yu Sheng said casually, "I don't know exactly what happened, but it seems to have triggered a chain reaction of self-devouring entities in this valley..."
It sounded like he was just being perfunctory, and it was obviously and deliberately perfunctory. Li Lin immediately understood - some things are other people's secrets.
Then, Irene's noisy movements interrupted Li Lin and Xu Jiali's confusion: "Hey! Is that thing in the sky slowly floating up?"
When Yu Sheng heard this, he hurried over and looked up at the sky above the valley.
He saw that the gigantic eye covering the entire valley was rising slowly without making any sound, like a projection in the sky that was gradually shrinking. In just a dozen seconds, the giant eye had become only one-third of its original size.
It is moving away from this place quickly.
A brighter and more normal light diffused from the distant mountains. The disturbed clouds reappeared in the sky, and the eye soon turned into a palm-sized disk floating in the center of the sky. Then, after a few breaths, the disk completely disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Run away... ran away?" Irene looked up at the sky, and seemed a little overwhelmed for a moment. Then she turned her head and looked at the two-meter-strong (佳) man (丽) not far away. "The 'angel' you mentioned ran away! What should I do?"
Xu Jiali just breathed a sigh of relief, and after hearing what the puppet said, she forced a smile on her face: "What else can I do? Let's celebrate - after celebrating, I'll go back and write the report."
