The sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer, and the faint light from the fire reflected on the dim wall. A few enlarged and elongated shadows were swaying back and forth.
Chu Yunsheng was used to fighting and surviving, so he didn't need to pay special attention. He could quickly determine the number and appearance of the opponents based on the shadows' movements.
He was not born to fight, but he had always been fighting to survive. Once he entered the battle state, even if he was a bloated meatball, his whole body still exuded a sharp aura that had been honed for many years.
His body was tense, and his brain was working fast. Within a moment, according to his current situation and the limit of his combat power, combined with his experience, he had made no less than three strategies that could be changed at any time.
No matter what he had become, his calmness in dealing with a crisis was far from being comparable to Xu Xuejun next to him. His calmness during the battle was even comparable to the shadow man.
Xu Xuejun was quiet. She was a bit special. No matter what happened, she always seemed to be as calm as still water. Coupled with her delicate appearance, many people, including Chu Yunsheng, felt that this was a particularly attractive and unique "temperament" that made people want to conquer her.
Strangely, Chu Yunsheng didn't know why, but he didn't like this "temperament" very much. He wondered if his brain was planted with mushrooms? Or maybe it was herd mentality? A person whose heart was as calm as still water, without a single ripple, no matter if it was a man or a woman, sounded very elegant, but it was very difficult to become good friends, let alone live together. That was simply suffering.
At this moment, one of them was calm, and the other was quiet. Both of them looked very calm.
The torch in Xu Xuejun's hand was also extinguished by Chu Yunsheng in time. The enemy outnumbered him, so he had a greater advantage in the dark, especially when the enemy had a torch.
But what happened next made Chu Yunsheng not know whether he should laugh or cry. A shadow that peeked out from the dark passage suddenly screamed when it saw Chu Yunsheng's horrifying "shape" in the dark, and it was scared away.
He was most likely regarded as a terrifying monster!
Then, after a moment of chaos, seven or eight shadows holding all kinds of simple "weapons", holding torches, and threatening all kinds of fierce postures in the passage.
"Looks like a human?" Chu Yunsheng said uncertainly.
His eyes were swollen, and his cells were multiplying very fast, which often disturbed the information transmitted to his brain.
"Shall I go take a look?" Xu Kejun said.
Chu Yunsheng's sarcoma-like body was too big, it blocked the line of sight of those people. As soon as she stood out, those people immediately began to talk to each other in a language that they did not understand. When they looked at Chu Yunsheng and Chu Yunsheng again, they were no longer as fierce as before.
One of them was a little older. His hair was loose, and his skin was sickly pale. His eyes, on the other hand, were glowing with the dim light of someone who had lived underground for a long time. He was wrapped in a shabby shirt that was made of skin or cloth. He opened his mouth, which only had a few teeth, and said a bunch of strange words to Xu Xuejun.
Xu Ke Jun frowned slightly. She didn't understand, and Chu Yunsheng didn't understand either.
However, her reaction was quite fast. She immediately used the extinguished bone in her hand to write a string of words on the ground. Her handwriting was like a long poem written on the wall.
Chu Yunsheng still didn't know the content, because he couldn't understand anything. But the old man on the opposite side suddenly froze for a moment. He stared blankly at the words written by Xu Xuejun, his eyes were filled with fear and surprise. Before Xu Xuejun finished writing, he suddenly crouched down and shouted excitedly at the people behind him to also crouch down.
"Sefute, Sefute!"
Xu Ke Jun frowned slightly. After a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said to Chu Yunsheng, "they should be saying" wise man ". “
"Wise man?" Chu Yunsheng murmured, "Shifute?"
Seeing Chu Yunsheng also said "Sefute" to Xu Ke Jun, the people on the opposite side suddenly became even more excited.
The two of them, who still hadn't figured out what was going on, were confused by seven or eight strange people respectfully crouching down.
But they finally found the exit. Under the guidance of the primitive strange people, they went through many complicated passages and finally walked out of the maze-like bottom of the well.
Of course, Chu Yunsheng didn't receive the respectful treatment. In the eyes of the strange people, Xu Ke Jun was the "Sefute", but he soon knew what it was …
At the exit, the strange man was leading two large but very short animals. They were carrying a lot of things on their backs. At a glance, it was obvious that they were animals similar to livestock, and he was classified as one of them. One of the strange men even wanted to use a hemp rope to help Xu Yujun "re-tie" him up.
Facing Chu Yunsheng, a fierce monster who was rolling around, the strange people were very afraid at first, but when Xu Ke Jun's identity was "discovered", they were not afraid anymore. Maybe they thought that Chu Yunsheng was a "wise man", so when he appeared, he must have some kind of "auspicious beast"?
Usually, those who could be called "auspicious beast" or "divine beast" must have a strange appearance, and the more auspicious the divine beast was, the more ferocious its appearance might be.
It was to exorcise evil and suppress demons.
Chu Yunsheng didn't want to explain. Firstly, he didn't know how to speak the language of strange people. Secondly, it was useless even if he tried to explain. If he could be regarded as an auspicious beast or a mythical beast, it would already be a blessing from the heavens.
Outside the exit, there was a cliff-like platform. It was very large. Chu Yunsheng followed them and "rolled" to the edge. His vision suddenly became clear, and a vast space appeared in front of him.
Chu Yunsheng never expected that there was a huge world hidden under the Sky Garden City.
Moreover, the energy flows here surged violently, exceptionally surging, as if there was a vast ocean, like flowing clouds slapping against the shore of the cliff.
Above the sky, a myriad of strange colors were illusory, sometimes blue, sometimes purple, sometimes red … The changes were unfathomable, and it was like moving clouds and flowing water. Sometimes, wind and lightning moved, sometimes it rose, sometimes it poured down from the sky, and it formed an extremely magnificent quicksand waterfall.
Chu Yunsheng guessed that it was the phenomenon of energy migration caused by the violent collision of the turbulent energy in a highly dense state.
Except for Xu Ke Jun, no one would pay attention to him, a "divine beast", "thinking" about the sky. Even the language that Xu Ke Jun and Chu Yunsheng communicated with seemed to be regarded as a kind of advanced beast driving language by the strange people.
With the help of the strange people, Chu Yunsheng and the other two pack animals were lifted up and put down the cliff in order.
This was what Chu Yunsheng agreed to do. He couldn't just roll down the cliff, right?
Being treated as a fowl also had its advantages. At least, he could quietly wait for the spear to finish devouring the reproductive cells and recover its combat power.
When he rushed up, it would definitely be a bloody battle!
The land of the subterranean world was crisscrossed by countless wide lava rivers, cutting the ground into countless pieces.
If you looked carefully, you would find that some fragments rose from time to time, and some fragments sank from time to time, but all of them were very slow.
As soon as they came to the surface, the strange people were very careful. In their eyes, Chu Yunsheng, who was used to fighting, could easily find a trace of fear.
'Is there another terrifying monster?'
Xu Ke Jun had been communicating with the strange people. Chu Yunsheng wanted her to understand the language here as soon as possible and figure out the situation. But at this time, she was also forced to stop. The strange people were very nervous.
After Chu Yunsheng and Xu Xuejun looked at each other, they didn't say anything. In any case, they had to come down. The spear was about to finish devouring the reproductive cells, and the power of the eleven red liquids was not just for show. After the effect of promoting reproduction, the hunger they produced at the same time might starve them to death in a short time.
Only by figuring out the situation and the situation as soon as possible could they make the best plan and arrangement. For the time being, they didn't have any hope of getting out of here, but it was necessary to find enough food.
The strange people bent down, passed through the strange woods, and groped their way through the first lava river. It looked very scary, but in fact, it looked like lava. Not only was the temperature not hot, but it was also cold.
After crossing the river, the strange people didn't bend down anymore. They directly lay on the ground and crawled like dogs.
Not only that, but they also asked Xu Ke Jun to crawl on the ground. As for Chu Yunsheng, they found a large piece of rag and completely covered him.
Even so, through the gaps of the rags, he could still see a large number of naked monsters crawling on the ground like dogs. They were dragging heavy metal blocks behind them, crawling on the ground while groaning in a low voice.
When they passed by a concave area in the ruins, from the angle, they could see the whole area.
This was a project!
A huge project!
At first glance, Chu Yunsheng instinctively felt that it was a huge project.
He had never seen such a huge project that required such a huge amount of manpower. There were only simple levers, and it was a project that was carried out by manpower.
Over there, there were many strange people crawling on the ground like animals, carrying and installing metal blocks.
Those metal blocks were transported from far away. Along the way, Chu Yunsheng could see some people dying of exhaustion on the ground, unable to stand up again.
Around them, there were many tall "overseers". They didn't look like human beings, they looked like some kind of animal on Earth. Chu Yunsheng couldn't remember what kind of animal it was, but it should be extinct.
They waved their long poisonous whips, mercilessly whipping those strange people crawling on the ground. The sound of skin cracking and flesh cracking was heard one after another, and the muffled groans were endless.
In the second cold lava river, Chu Yunsheng saw another giant octopus monster that was similar to the one he saw before, but it didn't have any energy fluctuations. Its flying tentacles were densely covered with suckers, and some of the small tentacles were inserted into many strange women who were in pain. There was a woman with a bulging belly, and her belly was expanding violently. A small octopus struggled to crawl out of her belly, and then it bit the strange woman who gave birth to it to death. Dragging the body, it crawled to the ground along with the metal fragments that the big octopus monster scooped out of the river, and then it slowly bit and swallowed them …
Even though the strange people were very careful, when they stepped on the fifth huge fragment area, they still bumped into a tall and thin humanoid creature wearing a uniform. It was twice as tall as a human being, and its face was pale as if it had been rotting for countless years.
The strange people quickly mixed into the crowd of monsters who were even more miserable than slaves, carefully hid the two small animals, and then hid Chu Yunsheng. They kneeled on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads.
When the tall and thin man walked in front of the strange people, the strange people lowered their heads even more, and their bodies were trembling.
Those who were a little slow were immediately whipped from the air.
At this time, a little girl was pointed at by the tall and thin man, and the overseer immediately came over and took her away.
Then it said something very stern, and the strange people were all silent. It should be a punishment for something.
Originally, it was estimated that nothing would happen, but the little girl said something that immediately caused a large number of strange people to be in a commotion.
Then the overseers began to massacre them.
The seven or eight strange people who brought Chu Yunsheng here were still lying on the ground motionlessly. Just like other people, even if they were mistakenly killed, they did not resist.
Chu Yunsheng guessed that this kind of thing happened more than once or twice.
In the chaos, except for a few people who bravely rushed forward, the rest of the people were once again frightened by the massacre and fled in all directions.
The crowd was surging. In such a chaotic situation, no one knew which reckless person suddenly bumped into Chu Yunsheng from behind, but he was suddenly pushed to a place not far from the tall and thin man's feet.
When the ragged cloth was removed, his original appearance was revealed in front of everyone's eyes.
At this time, Chu Yunsheng felt very hungry, very hungry …
