The Face on the Wall
"What's going on with this tunnel …"
Out of curiosity, Luo Zheng reached out and pinched the uneven wall.
He felt something soft in his hand, as if it was some kind of animal's internal organs.
"We're not too sure either. Squeak, rumor has it that the nineteen passages in the Divine Temple of Heaven are living creatures, and we're all passing through their stomachs," one of the mice said.
There were too many things gathered on the other side of the world. Among them, there were many things that had never been recorded. It was almost impossible to fully understand everything.
The Ear Mice and Ling Shuang had to absorb soul pellets to replenish their lost soul power every time they moved forward.
As they continued to move forward, the blood-red luster of the patterns above the passageway became brighter and brighter. Sometimes, the entire passageway was illuminated in blood-red, and sometimes, it would dim and become pitch-black. The atmosphere gradually became strange.
Even though Luo Zheng was leading the way, the Ear Mice and Ling Shuang still felt the pressure and were secretly on guard.
"Ahhhh …"
At this moment, they suddenly heard a series of screams coming from the front.
"What happened?!"
"It should be the creature that entered the passage before us!"
"What happened to them?"
Quite a lot of non-humankind creatures had entered the All-Heaven Divine Temple.
Some of the foreign races who were aware of the situation knew that the nineteenth passageway was extremely dangerous, so they naturally avoided it. However, there were bound to be some among the two thousand foreign races who didn't know about it.
"I'll go take a look!"
Luo Zheng took a big stride forward along the passageway.
After about two thousand feet, he saw faces with closed eyes floating on both sides of the wall!
These faces were of different sizes and shapes. They seemed to belong to all kinds of races. Among them, Luo Zheng even saw a few human faces. The only thing they had in common was that they all had an expression of extreme pain and were letting out low growls of "Wu Wu".
"The screams just now didn't come from these faces …"
As he took a few more steps forward and stepped into the corner of the tunnel, he saw seven or eight Yang souls being grabbed by hands and pulled towards the wall with all their might.
There were also many "faces" on the walls in this area. The eyes on these faces were open.
"A member of the Liyuan Clan?"
The Liyuan Tribe was so large that they could practically fill up the entire tunnel. Luo Zheng was naturally able to tell at a glance.
At this moment, the sun souls of the Liyuan clansmen had all been pulled into the walls by those hands. These sun souls had all used their trump cards, and their soul force was constantly surging through the passageway. However, no matter what they did, they were unable to break free from those ghastly white hands!
In the blink of an eye, the Liyuan Clan member was dragged into the wall.
The last Liyuan clansman discovered Luo Zheng. He stretched out his remaining hand and pointed at Luo Zheng as he cried out, "Save, save me …"
Although Luo Zheng didn't have a good impression of the people of the Liyuan Tribe, when he saw the Liyuan Tribe member's outstretched hand, he still instinctively rushed forward and grabbed his arm.
Under Luo Zheng's fierce tug, he failed to pull the Liyuan clansman out of the wall.
The thick arm of the Liyuan clansman was actually torn off by Luo Zheng!
Since the Yang Soul Body had left the main body, it could exist as a separate soul, just like the soul swords that Chou had sacrificed himself for.
However, if the consciousness of Chou's main body disappeared, the soul swords would also dissipate.
The Liyuan clansman's arm remained in Luo Zheng's hand for a breath of time, before it transformed into a wisp of purple smoke and disappeared!
As Luo Zheng frowned, the faces on the walls on both sides of him opened their eyes. At the same time, one hand after another reached out!
These hands only had three fingers, but each finger was a foot long and completely snow-white. It was unknown what kind of creature they were.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …
In the instant they drilled out of the walls, they all rushed towards Luo Zheng to grab him.
Ka ka ka …
In the blink of an eye, Luo Zheng's body was grabbed by seven or eight hands, and he was dragged towards the side of the wall.
"Not bad … but if you want to drag me in, I'm afraid you're dreaming," Luo Zheng said coldly.
Luo Zheng's body suddenly twisted, and his right hand spun like a wheel. The hands that were grabbing onto his body all broke apart, turning into pieces of broken bones that protruded out of the wall.
Perhaps the things in the wall also knew that Luo Zheng was not to be trifled with, for the broken bones all retreated back into the wall.
"I want to see what's inside the wall!"
Luo Zheng grabbed a piece of retreating bone and tried to pull it out of the wall. Unfortunately, the bone was very brittle, and it broke with a single tug.
Wu wu wu …
The faces floating on the wall began to growl again.
As they let out a hair-raising sound, they actually began to move along the wall behind Luo Zheng. Ling Shuang and the Ear Mice were in that direction!
"You're courting death!"
Luo Zheng dared to choose the 19th passage, which was the most difficult passage, because he had considerable confidence in himself. However, Ling Shuang and the Ear Mice were still very weak. He naturally would not allow these big and small faces on the wall to get close to them!
Dong!
Luo Zheng chased after them, channeled his strength, and smashed a fist into the faces on the wall.
The power of this punch was extremely terrifying, and the entire passage shook violently.
However, the faces were not hurt at all. They just dived into the wall, swam for a distance, and then reappeared. Some of the faces' hollow eyes stared at Luo Zheng, with a hint of mockery.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Luo Zheng followed these faces closely, and smashed the wall several times in a row.
The walls of the passage were very flexible, and completely dissolved Luo Zheng's strength. Naturally, the "faces" were not hurt at all.
"Tianhang! What's going on? "
Ling Shuang heard the loud noise and knew that Luo Zheng had made his move. However, there was a patch of red in front of them, and their divine senses were also blocked, so she and the Ear Mice could not see clearly.
"Watch out for both sides of the wall!"
Luo Zheng shouted as he ran.
"Squeak, what's going on?"
"It seems that some of the faces are flying along the wall?"
"Those are faces! And the faces of our Ear Mice … Squeak squeak squeak! "
As the saying goes, "as timid as mice", the Ear Mice were not very brave.
The reason why they dared to enter the Temple of Heaven was that they relied on information that far exceeded that of the other alien races. This time, they even had Luo Zheng's protection, which was why they dared to enter the 19th passage.
Seeing the faces moving at high speed, they panicked.
When the faces moved along the wall to Ling Shuang's side, a white three-fingered hand broke through the wall and grabbed at them.
One of the Ear Mice was too close to the wall, and before it could react, it was dragged into the wall. It only had time to let out a miserable squeak.
"Get away from the wall!"
"Don't get caught by those hands!"
"Spiritual Shield!"
A small round shield flashed in the claws of one of the Ear Mice. The small round shield shone brightly, and spread out around the Ear Mice, protecting Ling Shuang as well.
The Spiritual Shield was an extremely powerful soul magic treasure, only slightly weaker than Ling Shuang's Soul Oracle Necklace.
