In the pitch-black underground tunnel, Gangke walked along the damp walls. He didn't know how long he had been walking. Perhaps it had been four or five hours, or perhaps one day, his legs had become extremely tired.
But he didn't dare stop to rest, afraid that he would go in the wrong direction. He just kept walking forward.
It was very cold here, and the wind carried with it the smell of earth. The sound of dripping water could be heard from all directions, sometimes far, sometimes close. He also heard footsteps. The rustling sound frightened him, and his fear made his footsteps stiffen.
He imagined all sorts of terrifying scenes, such as a terrifying face suddenly appearing in the darkness. It was the face of a monster, with a mouth full of sharp teeth and gray skin. He was so frightened that he didn't dare to move forward, and his breathing became ragged. But when he remembered that his face had once frightened the demons, the fear in his heart inexplicably dissipated, and he felt much more relaxed.
Gangke took a step forward, resolutely walking forward.
After walking for some time, he saw light. It was so bright that it felt somewhat illusory. He quickened his steps, and the light dimmed the lamp in his hand. He was sure that this was the exit! Suddenly, he missed a step and immediately fell down. Fortunately, it was a slope. He rolled down, and the things on his body clanked as they tumbled down.
With a thud, he fell into water. No, this definitely wasn't water. A foul stench and various sticky feelings crawled up his body.
This feeling was terrible. Fortunately, the water wasn't deep. He stood up and weakly crawled to the shore. It was wet and slippery, and it took him a great deal of effort to get to the surface. His soaked clothes ate away at his remaining strength.
Faur hadn't told him that there was a pit at the end of the path. Had he gone the wrong way?
While worrying, he took out the blue box from his body. Seeing that it was still emitting a mysterious blue light, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Soon, he figured out the source of the stench. He looked around and found that it was a smelly drain. All kinds of waste water were discharged here. He raised his head and looked at the place where he fell and found that it was just another passageway.
But he couldn't go up now, so he stood up and looked for another way out. Walking towards the light, he saw a vertical ladder that led upwards. The shaft was very narrow, so she could climb up.
He didn't know whether he should go up or not. According to the plan, there should be someone waiting for him at the end of the road. Why hadn't he met anyone yet? Did he really go the wrong way?
The conflict made his intestines turn into a mess. He felt pain in his stomach. This place was too dirty. He wasn't sure if he had drunk the poisonous water.
Almost all of his belongings had fallen into it. Looking at the floating filth, he did not have the courage to go down. Instead, he went to the narrow shaft. He raised his head and looked at the place where the light came from. He did not know if it was the exit, but he climbed up. In the end, he realized it was a manhole cover.
What made him despair was that he didn't have the strength to push it away. There seemed to be something pressing down on it, and it was very heavy. He tried countless times until his right arm was sore and powerless. He hung on the ladder, ready to fall at any moment.
"Help!"
He knocked on the manhole cover. Perhaps the person waiting for him was up there. After half a minute of shouting, the manhole cover suddenly opened, and the dazzling light was magnified dozens of times. Gangke had no choice but to cover his eyes with his hands.
At this moment, someone grabbed his hand and pulled him up.
"Hey! Human brat, why are you down there? "
A hurried rebuke rang out, and the voice was rather sharp. Gangke had a bad premonition. He opened his eyes and saw a large rat covered in black fur and wearing a round gray hat standing in front of him, angrily glaring at him.
"Ah!!"
He jumped in fright and almost fell back down the shaft. Fortunately, he managed to change direction and fall to the side. In front of him was a Demon called the Mouse Race. They were about the same height as Gangke, but they were much larger. Although they wore clothes, they also had a layer of black fur and long tails. Normally, they lived underground.
The latter glared at him in dissatisfaction, making Gangke very nervous.
"You still haven't answered me, brat. Why are you down there?"
It's over. I've been discovered.
Gangke's mind was in chaos, and he didn't know what to do. In this desperate moment, he suddenly thought of a plan and shouted into the well, "Run!"
With these words, he hastily got up and began to run. The Mouse Race member saw this and was about to give chase, but then he thought that there was someone else in the well. He hastily turned back and closed the well, but when he looked back, that ugly human brat had long since disappeared.
He didn't know where he found the strength, but he ran down several streets in a single breath. Only when he felt his legs go weak did he gradually slow down.
He had never been to this place before and had no idea where to go. He didn't think about anything and simply walked down the path until he reached a deserted alley.
At this moment, he accidentally bumped into someone and plopped to the ground.
Even worse, the blue box he had hidden in front of his stomach fell to the ground. He hurriedly tried to pick it up, but a hand beat him to it.
He immediately raised his head and saw a large figure in front of him. This was another Demon, this one with a large body and a large belly. For a moment, Gangke couldn't recognize this Demon, but he felt a chill run down his spine. He had made another fatal mistake, allowing someone to see the box.
"Hey, you bumped into me! Stinking brat! "
The other party looked down at him, holding the blue box in one hand as he angrily roared.
In his panic, Gangke suddenly got up from the ground and lunged at the other party, wanting to snatch the blue box.
In the end, the other party's palm landed on him, and with a loud smack, his head buzzed with a metallic taste in his mouth.
"Give it back to me, give it back to me!"
This slap had utterly defeated him, and he didn't even have the strength to get up. The other party coldly snorted and said, "Give it back to you? Hmph, this is your compensation for bumping into me. Why is it so smelly? You really are smelly. "
After saying this, the other party pinched his nose and left with the blue box.
Gangke still couldn't get up. He watched as the other party slowly left, but he was powerless.
"My box …"
He powerlessly extended a hand toward the other party, his heart filled with despair.
"What the hell is this?"
The departing Demon opened the blue box, and the collapsed Gangke watched as the figure that was about to disappear from his field of vision was swallowed up by a terrifying blue light.
Boom!!!
The alleyway suddenly exploded, the massive explosion carrying with it a terrifying shockwave that caused the surrounding houses to crumble as if they were made of mud. The terrifying shockwave sent the Gangke flying into the air, and as the rocks around him tumbled, he felt pain in his ears, and there was not a single part of his body that did not hurt. In the end, he saw that his surroundings had been reduced to rubble. A massive blue mushroom cloud soared into the sky, seemingly piercing through something and causing a white fissure to appear in the sky.
