Regardless of whether it was a human or a wild beast, being pierced by such a thick pike could definitely be considered as a fatal injury. Yet at the same time, the Licker with its brain damaged and lungs pierced suddenly bounced up, before pouncing towards the direction where the pike came from. With such a terrifying counterattack speed, how was there even the slightest hint of a grievous injury on the Licker?
This crafty beast endured the agony and feigned fainting, using the information transmitted by its foe's attack to determine its foe's position. At the moment when its foe's mind was at its most lax, it launched a frenzied counterattack with lightning speed! Strike with body!
Once Mbenga's strike succeeded, he immediately turned around and fled. Yet how could his speed be compared to this horrifying beast? Within a few leaps, Mbenga had already sprinted out 50-60 metres. However, the distance between the two rapidly shrunk. Yet at this moment, Mbenga seemed to have missed a step, as he tumbled into an incomparably miserable somersault! That vicious beast's long red forked tongue seemed to be licking his cheeks. As for Mbenga's nose, the nauseating stench of the Licker wafted in!!!
In the next second, in the next second! The massive claws of the Licker would be able to pierce through his body, before frenziedly ripping him to shreds!
At present, Sheyan who was observing from afar suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. Because he suddenly realized that Mbenga's landing spot was completely flat ground, and it was impossible for him to miss a step.
This indicated that Mbenga had intentionally slowed down …..
This indicated that unless Mbenga was purposely seeking death, he definitely had sufficient reason to believe that the Licker had no way of attacking him!!
Abruptly, large amounts of mud and dust shot up from the ground, as 5-6 thick pike fences pierced out from the ground. Unlike the previous pikes, these pikes shockingly possessed a metallic luster. Although they appeared ordinary, they had undergone extremely meticulous processing, allowing them to possess the lightness and toughness of wooden pikes, and the hardness of metal.
That Licker which had exerted all its might, appeared as though it had foolishly stuck its body onto the pike fences!!
In a flash, its body was pierced through by this' forest of pikes'! Although it was still struggling with all its might, it seemed to have completely lost its madness and terror. Instead, it gave off a tragic and comical feeling like a frog being hung up and skinned in the market. Large amounts of blood flowed down the spear shaft, corroding the spear shaft like sulfuric acid and releasing a large amount of pungent white smoke.
All of a sudden, Mbenga stomped his foot forcefully, as though he had stepped on another mechanism. In this instance, the forest of spears that pierced through the Lickers were forcefully torn apart in different directions! That unlucky Licker's body fluids and filthy blood splattered everywhere in an instant, as it was torn to shreds by five horses!
At this moment, Mbenga frantically dashed forward. Before the Licker's head could even touch the ground, he had already impaled it with his pike! Then, he raised it up high with one hand and faced the sky. Aiming at the high platform, he unleashed a terrifying roar with all his might! It was as if even the terrifying fog that shrouded the surroundings was about to be completely blown away!
In this instance, Sheyan suddenly felt that this guide, Mbenga, was extremely foreign. That honest, straightforward and loyal tanned big guy had completely transformed into a different person! Instead, Sheyan's attention was immediately attracted by another object …... yes! That was an object that every contestant yearned for even in their dreams! A key, a key that emitted a silvery glow!!!
After Sheyan fished up that key, he suddenly felt something amiss.
This sensation was extremely peculiar, as though a formless gigantic eye was coldly and mercilessly locking onto his soul from the dark blue dome of heaven. A feeling of utter helplessness floated up from the depths of his heart, as though the entire world had become his enemy; frenziedly repelling his existence.
In this instance, Mbenga's jaw dropped as he stiffened on the spot, as though the shock he received was exceptionally intense. Instead, Sheyan frantically fled to his side and casually delivered a vicious slap to his face. The slap caused blood to flow out from Mbenga's nostrils. Mbenga then yelled wildly. "Mbenga!
"Run!"
After receiving that slap, Mbenga instantly regained his senses. His pupils reverted back to their original state, and his bloodshot scar also calmed down. Sheyan dragged him along as he fled. However, after sprinting for a dozen metres, he abruptly regained his senses. Clutching his head, he let out a series of loud screams, before leading Sheyan towards the direction of the high platform. Sheyan knew that Mbenga must've recalled some fragmented memories, and followed him in a mad dash.
Behind them, the thick and viscous fog churned, as though nurturing an immense terror. Following closely, a blood red forelimb stretched out and stomped heavily on the ground, sending gravel fluttering into the air! Sheyan's previous battle had actually alarmed this Licker boss!!
Previously, this Licker seemed to have used some mysterious spiritual link to lock onto Sheyan and Sheyan. Hence, at this moment, Sheyan and Sheyan's disguise was utterly useless. Fortunately, Mbenga had once again recalled some fragmented memories. Familiarly, he led Sheyan in a twisting and turning path, while constantly activating the mechanisms left behind by the Ndipaya barbarians.
The crude mechanism at the rear rumbled and thundered as it continuously activated. Although it was still unable to retaliate against the Licker Prototype BOSS, it was still more than enough to cause some trouble for the BOSS and reduce its movement speed.
At present, Sheyan could sense that Mbenga's personal capabilities had improved significantly. Perhaps, from another perspective, his original strength was gradually recovering? Previously, it was Sheyan who carried Mbenga along the way. Yet now, the situation was reversed, with Mbenga dragging Sheyan along as he sprinted.
Within a blink of an eye, Sheyan was once again brought back to the plaza by Mbenga. This place was still a dreary sight of eerie ghosts. Instead, Mbenga directly charged towards that gigantic coiled serpent statue, and hurled out two javelins towards the two gemstone eyes of the statue. Not only did the two gemstone eyes not shatter, they were even repelled back slightly. In a flash, two congealed beams shot out, and converged onto a single point before shining onto the ground.
Mbenga sprinted towards the spot where the beams shot out from the statue's eyes landed. Extending his hand, he lifted up the stone covering the statue. Then, he grabbed onto the ring and pulled with force! Amidst a deafening rumble, the entire platform started shaking. Following that, Mbenga led Sheyan and charged towards the most spacious hall. Not far from where Sheyan had picked up the golden egg, a shockingly pitch-black narrow entrance had appeared; roughly enough for two people to squeeze in shoulder to shoulder.
Just as the two of them frantically rushed in, an earth-shattering 'Kacha' resounded above their heads. That Licker boss had arrived with its tail between its legs, as its humongous claws slammed down from above. That incomparably sturdy conference hall was instantly deflated like a matchbox, as a massive shockwave violently blasted against Sheyan. It wasn't the slightest bit inferior to the shockwave of an aerial bomb. Sheyan felt as though his back had been slammed by a formless pillar, as his entire body was sent flying into the air, before heavily slamming against the wall of the secret passageway. Sheyan felt as though his back had been slammed by a formless pillar, as his entire body flew into the air, before heavily slamming against the wall of the secret passageway.
This collision instantly caused Sheyan to see stars and bleed profusely. Worse, his nose was smelling an unbearable stench. It seemed like that Licker boss had activated its' Poison Halo 'ability again ….. Sheyan cursed inwardly. Yet after smelling that stench for mere seconds, his entire body felt numb and sore. One could tell how quickly the poison took effect, as his vision darkened and he fainted.

[Warning! Warning! Contestant no.1018 has entered the inner region of the hidden world, the Kijuju Marshland. Your utility points will be depleted at a rate of 5,000 utility points per hour.]
[Warning! If your utility points are insufficient, you will be forced to sell your equipment to pay the remaining balance. If your balance is insufficient, you will be forcefully teleported out of this hidden world.]
Awakened by this series of notifications, Sheyan slowly opened his eyes. He felt an indescribable soreness all over his body, and an indescribable silence and solemnity permeated his surroundings.
Surveying his surroundings, he discovered that this was an extremely typical man-made construction. The ceiling was 7-8 metres high, and the domed ceiling had a breathtaking arc. The stone walls were carved with distinct hatchet marks; evidently, the construction of this place was rather majestic. The ground was dry, and covered with fine white soil. An unbearable stench pervaded the air.
At present, Sheyan could feel something sticky at the corner of his mouth. Touching it, he discovered a greenish stain on his finger. Upon closer inspection, he could tell that someone had poured some medicinal herbs into his mouth. This should be Mbenga's doing. Within this grand space, there was a spacious stone table. On top of the table … … was a peculiar object.
That object was actually a sand table!
A gigantic sand table!
The material of this sand table should be something similar to cement. When molded, it was extremely malleable. Once it dried and solidified, it would be as hard as rock. (To be continued.
