"Why did we encounter two Shugas in the outer circle? This is their home … If we continue to escape like this, if we can't find the exit, we will die. "
Ah Jin, who was responsible for sensing and planning the route, couldn't accept the reality in front of him.
Because of Shugas' relentless pursuit, they could only escape into the depths of the meat mountain … The depth they had reached had long exceeded the exploration range of the expedition team.
During the escape, Ah Jin, who was the leader, also felt a sense of [disharmony].
Every time a fork appeared, it was possible that the fork leading to the outside of the meat mountain was either blocked, or there was another Shugas hiding in it.
The only choice left for everyone was to escape into the depths of the meat mountain.
After passing through 11 forks, the original cave passage turned into a staircase leading to the bottom.
And the hissing sound of Shugas was getting closer.
They were forced to go down the staircase that led to an unknown place for nearly a kilometer … When they left the staircase, they were greeted by a wider space. To be precise, it was a "spherical space" similar to the core of a planet.
"This is the ruins of the city in the meat mountain!!"
With a geometric style as the theme, all kinds of buildings were made of metal and ore. They were regularly distributed in any area of the spherical space, and even attached to the walls on both sides or hung upside down on the top floor.
The surface of each building was inlaid with dim crystals.
Han Dong felt the residual energy in these crystals … It seemed that in ancient times, these crystals embedded in the surface of the building could meet all the energy supply inside the building, and even give a permanent anti-gravity effect.
Things changed with the passage of time.
Now, there were only broken ruins and a few creations hidden in the ruins.
While the expedition team was panicking, Han Dong was carefully observing the town here.
"Judging from the characteristics of the buildings, this should be a [residential area] … And the stone bridge in front of us should lead to a deeper place, a more important place."
The exit of the staircase corresponded to a stone bridge in the center of the "spherical space".
When the strange aura of living creatures appeared here, some creations in the ruins immediately sensed it and showed a ferocious face.
They could only continue to run along the stone bridge.
At the end of the stone bridge.
A black door that was more than ten meters wide blocked their way.
Relying on the ability of the mature Hybrid Demon (compared to the initial encounter with Count), it was still possible to break the stone gate of more than ten meters.
However.
Through Tentacle Isomerization, Gunter Deepcliff formed a magnetic fist five times the size on his right arm. When he punched the stone door in front of him … BOOM!
An energy ripple spread out on the surface of the stone door.
"Rebound"
Gunter was sent flying more than ten meters away, almost falling off the stone bridge.
"Seals … Thousands of years have passed, and any seals that aren't managed will lose their effectiveness.
Moreover, this stone door was clearly made by the Ancient Ones, and only they could maintain it.
Could it be! There are still Ancients living here?! "
When Ah Jin thought about this.
A strong sense of oppression swept through his body, accompanied by a pungent stench.
A total of four Shugas had already caught up.
The eyeballs that were constantly dissolving and reforming stared at the group of intruders … However, most of the eyeballs landed on Eugenice, as if waiting for instructions.
"Let's fight!"
This group of Antarctic hunters was doing very dangerous work, and they were prepared for death.
However.
Whether it was the quality of the species or the difference in strength, it was all there.
Moreover, among the Shugas that chased over, there was an Atavistic Body that was more than a hundred meters in size. Just the stench emitted from its body could affect the mental state of the exploration team.
"Evil Vanse-Shugas."
The Ancients should be proud of their perfect creation, a mixture of many Hybrid Demons. Their gelatinous skin could effectively resist any type of magic, and the high toughness of their bodies could also reduce the impact of frontal force.
For a moment, the scene here turned into a tragic grayish-white.
The death of the exploration team became very simple.
Even if they were mature and could use various abilities, such as tentacle isomerization and various types of rapid regeneration, these characteristics could only extend the time of death by a few seconds.
When only three of the seven team members were left, the attack of the Shugas suddenly stopped. Even the largest Atavistic Body immediately stopped moving.
Gunter, who controlled magnets, Ah Jin, who exposed his brain, and a woman with an elongated spine that looked like a centipede barely survived.
"What happened?"
Just as the three of them were puzzled, an evil voice came from behind them.
"Congratulations, you've been selected!"
When Gunter turned his head, he found that the Deep Sea Messenger that they had "escorted" to the Meat Mountain to look for medical equipment had not been attacked by the Shugas at all.
And the person who spoke was the so-called "heavily injured person."
At this moment.
Eugenice took off his hood and exposed his green-haired humanoid form that resembled a tramp in front of everyone.
At the same time.
A few Shugas that were not far away immediately put their tentacles together in front of them, showing a strange kneeling posture. At the same time, blasphemous sounds came from their bodies to express their excitement at seeing their "idols."
At the same time, Gunter and the other two began to cough violently.
Cough cough cough … Small eyeballs were coughed out of their mouths.
"You … who are you?"
"Fifth Origin, Eugenice Trevelo, welcome to the Meat Mountain.
The tough souls that exist in your bodies will be offered as an opening offering to the Creator here. "
"Eugenice … Cough cough cough!"
When they got the answer, they coughed violently and uncontrollably.
Their bodies disintegrated amidst the coughing, turning into eyeballs on the ground.
Their souls were enveloped by a green energy and sucked into the stone door in front of them … Rumble! The stone door that led to the final ruins opened, and the remnant Ancients who lived inside recorded the pinnacle technology of ancient times.
…
Han Dong only watched the entire process silently. When the stone door opened, he asked in a low voice, "Why?
Why are you doing this? These explorers have also provided us with a lot of convenience … If we need an offering, we can find it elsewhere, right? "
Eugenice's eyes shone with a green light as he smiled and answered Han Dong's question.
"Why?
Didn't you realize that we didn't have to do anything along the way?
We only needed to rest in the cabin, sit on the transport vehicle, and enjoy the scenery. Finally, we took a few steps in the cave to reach our destination … We could even enjoy the beautiful scenery of the dying struggle. What a delightful journey.
At the same time.
By coming here in such a manner, we can even be considered to have passed the 'South Pole test' set by the Ancients — [Coming to the deepest part in physical form and offering three offerings].
I don't have to waste my breath to explain the relevant problems to you along the way. These people have done it for me … Isn't that good? "
"These are all mature Hybrid Demons that can be considered as the world's combat power … Isn't this method of handling them a little inappropriate?"
"It's just their 'fate'.
When they met us, they were destined to die … Furthermore, they can become a small stepping stone for you and me. The value of their lives has far exceeded the past.
They should feel lucky and even thank me for granting them this way of death.
Don't use your human values to judge all of this. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. "
