That's right, ever since he ventured into this wasteland, he had already started spending 10000 utility points per hour to purchase more time for himself. That was literally burning money.
This was mainly due to Sheyan's previous memory lapses. Back when he was outside, he was unfortunately affected by the poison aura of that blood red gigantic boss Licker, and fainted. When he awoke, he was already in the core passageway of the ruins. During this period of time, Mbenga had definitely treated Sheyan, but Sheyan had no way of grasping the specifics of this period of time.
During this period of time, Sheyan's previously accumulated utility points were being depleted at a rate of 5000 points per hour. Thus, the utility points expended here was an astronomical figure.
The only good thing was, this was a world where danger and riches coexisted. For example, when Sheyan was exploring the ruins, he unintentionally triggered a mechanism. Fortunately, this mechanism was mostly melted away by the passage of time, and only the first layer was activated. Even so, it nearly cost Sheyan half his life. Nevertheless, Sheyan still managed to discover such a place. Based on the rewards he obtained from discovering this place, it was enough to sustain him for 7-8 hours.
At this moment, the setting sun once again peeked out from behind the dark clouds. The scorching heat of the scorching sun illuminated his body, as though it was scorching hot. The construction materials of the ruins were rather unique, as though a layer of boiling gold had been poured over it; brimming with an indescribable splendor of gold and jade.
Before entering the ruins, Sheyan had carefully inspected the entire structure and route of the ruins. However, he didn't anticipate that once he entered this labyrinth of dilapidated walls, it would be exceedingly difficult to find a path to his destination. As for the route he had observed from a high vantage point, that was simply a joke! Not mentioning those deep and insurmountable obstacles, just based on the densely packed mechanisms and traps, it was impossible for one to calmly advance along the predetermined route.
Of course, Sheyan had considered adopting an alternative method, which was to utilize a contestant's extraordinary jumping ability to directly climb up to the top of the ruins. Instead, he would trigger an even more terrifying mechanism, forcing him to return to the ground and obediently proceed. Sheyan had no choice but to return to the ground and obediently proceed. Sheyan had no choice but to return to the ground.
Suddenly, Sheyan turned his head. This was because he distinctly heard splashing sounds from the right. That was the sound of incessant trampling and kicking of rocks on the ground.
Mbenga?
That's not right! His footsteps were much more nimble than Mbenga's!
Therefore, it must be an enemy!
Sheyan immediately sprinted forward, distancing himself from the right passageway's corner. In a short span of a few seconds, he turned his head back and saw a figure that left an exceedingly deep impression in his mind!
A shrivelled corpse, like a bag of bones,
An incomparably fast movement speed,
An abnormal gait that was completely different from an ordinary person!
That brat had left an exceedingly deep impression in Sheyan's memories. Hence, with a sweep of his eyes, Sheyan could tell that this brat was most probably the same species as the Plaga Host that welcomed them at the village entrance! It might even be an upgraded version!
However, where was he to find a mutated Arachnidacrab to restrain it? The most important thing was that in this core area, the improved mixes were not very useful. At most, they could only interfere and mislead. They still had to find what they needed to find.
Therefore, when Sheyan saw this situation, he simply pulled out 'Ambition' and fired a shot at it. Sheyan had already smeared 'Ambition' with an improved medicine beforehand, so although the shot did not deal much damage to the monster's HP, the improved medicine seemed to have some effect. The monster's running speed had obviously slowed down. Of course, it was still much faster than Sheyan.
The Plaga Host was frantically pursuing from behind, while Sheyan was frantically sprinting in front. Soon after bypassing several passageways, Sheyan suddenly executed a bizarre action. Although the path ahead appeared to be undamaged, Sheyan bent his hips and executed a diving motion. Then, after skimming through the air for a distance that would make an Olympic long jump champion blush with shame, he pressed his hands forward and did a forward somersault.
If the Plaga Host was an extremely intelligent creature, it would definitely sniff out an incomparably intense conspiracy from Sheyan's actions. Instead, this Plaga Host was completely dominated by its biological instincts. It only wanted to do two things.
Feed, reproduce,
These two matters were closely related to the prey it was pursuing! Driven by these two major instincts, its pitiful mind only had one thought, which was to pursue that damned prey with the fastest speed and the shortest route. Even if it felt a premonition of danger, it wouldn't hesitate!
Therefore, it didn't hesitate to tread on the path Sheyan had just traversed. Therefore, under the influence of its body weight! Rumbling rumbles abruptly resounded from the nearby stone walls. Following closely, a stone wall rumbled as the stone slabs on the ground slid away at high speed. Instantly, a sculpture pierced out from the ruins!
This sculpture was of a snake-headed warrior. The contours of his muscles were exceedingly distinct. Most distinctly, his naked male features were exceedingly exaggerated and distinct. This wasn't due to lust or lust. Instead, it was due to the worship of reproduction being a common sight among primitive tribes. The primary deity of the Ndipaya tribe was probably that gigantic serpent with its tail in its mouth, while its secondary deity was probably the god of reproduction. It was similar to the relationship between the Jade Emperor and Taishang Laojun in China's Taoism.
The mouth of the gigantic serpent sculpture was probably fitted with a whistle or something similar. When it moved, it would slice through the air and emit ear-piercing hisses. Following a prearranged kneeling posture, it scraped out a long string of sparks as it frantically charged towards that Plaga Host!
The hisses of the gigantic serpent sculpture were exceedingly ear-piercing, as though a file piercing into one's ears. The reverberation caused one's head to sway. Not far away, Sheyan furrowed his brows; evidently, his eardrums were damaged to a certain extent.
Such an action was absolutely impossible for an ordinary human. With its back being assaulted, if one tried to imitate the Plaga Host's action, the only outcome would be having all four limbs snapped in reverse. Instead, the moment the Plaga Host exerted its strength, it actually grabbed onto the upper body of the gigantic snake-headed sculpture. Boom! A resounding boom reverberated as it effortlessly snapped the incomparably solid sculpture in half! Instantly, it regained its freedom!
As the dust and debris of the collapsing stone statue drifted into the air, the Plaga Host continued chasing after Sheyan. Nevertheless, this city was constructed by the Ndipaya Empire during its heyday, reflecting their most glorious craftsmanship. Furthermore, the traps were intertwined with each other. Against such foes that could directly destroy the mechanisms, they had long prepared a follow-up plan to kill them!
In the instance the sculpture collapsed with a loud rumble, an incomparably dry and astringent creaking sound echoed out from the nearby wall! That creaking sound should've come from the hinges. Following closely, a short spear shot out from an unremarkable hole in the wall.
That short spear was curved like a serpent, and even its trajectory was akin to a serpent slithering through the water. Like a lightning bolt, it shot out. Although the Plaga Host attempted to evade, it still pierced through its heart! The Plaga Host was sent flying into the air and nailed into the nearby stone wall!
Although such a degree of damage was fatal to a human, to the Plaga Host, it could only infuriate it! The Plaga Host released a hoarse roar, as it pushed its palms against the wall, attempting to forcibly extricate itself from the serpent short spear! To it, a human's body was merely a vehicle. As long as its core wasn't damaged, any attacks would only drive it even more berserk.
Yet when the Plaga Host attempted to move, the serpent short spear once again slammed down! Like an umbrella, 7-8 incomparably incisive slender blades shot out from the long spear. In a flash, the Plaga Host's chest wound was forcibly ripped open with a bowl sized hole. Yellowed ribs and even the stone wall behind could be seen distinctly. Nevertheless, such an injury was nothing in the eyes of the Plaga Host. It forcibly extricated itself from the wall, and continued charging forward!
Who would have thought that just as this fellow took a step forward, two consecutive "ka ka" sounds rang out, and the mechanism was activated once again. From the small holes on both sides of the wall, two intersecting cold rays of light shot out. It was still the same snake-shaped short spear, but its flight path was abnormally strange. Furthermore, the iron spear was connected to a series of interlocking intricate iron chains, and in an instant, the chains were stretched taut!
After the two serpent short spears pierced through the Plaga Host's body, the iron chains attached to them tightened, forming an 'X' on the Plaga Host's body! Instantly, the Plaga Host's movements were stifled.
Immediately after, a giant snake-headed statue appeared from behind the stone wall with a loud rumble. This statue was holding a huge stone hammer in its hand! Swinging down with matchless ferocity, this stone hammer that weighed over half a ton smashed the upper body of the Plaga Host into a pulp!
