Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 340

The deeper he went into the city, the stronger this feeling in Xing Tianyu's heart became.Not long after walking, a room like a traffic node appeared in front of them.In this hall, like the one at the entrance, there is also a statue of Sakadum people, which makes Xing Tianyu feel strange. The taste of these Sakadum people is really strange, and they always put the statues facing each other. At the gate, he faintly felt that something was wrong.These statues look exactly the same, not to mention how beautiful they are, they look completely standard products, not some kind of artwork at all, and at least when he read the memory of the ancient Sakaduum man, he didn't know what to do. I didn't feel that the Sakaduum people had artistic talents and needs, and this statue must have some other function.

With this thought in mind, he couldn't help but sized up the statue for a while. The statue had a round base, a spherical body, and obsidian eyes, which looked very realistic.

In front of the statue, there is also a stone platform that looks like a map, and there are also some Sakaduum characters on it, this time it is written——[The place of protection is not a safe place to live: I will place this place as your home].

It appears that the Sakaduum built the city without intending it to be a permanent place to live.

Xing Tianyu poured spiritual energy into the spiritual energy crystal on the stone slab again.They found that their location didn't seem to be much different from just now, they just moved a short distance in this huge city, and it seemed that there was still a long way to go.

"Okay, let's move on."

"Wait a minute, there seems to be something in front," Sylvia said. "The magic hound I sent out is under attack, everyone be careful."

Several people agreed to each other, bypassed the statue, and continued to walk forward.However, there seemed to be nothing in the passage behind the door, except for those weird mucus, but several people were still moving forward vigilantly.Suddenly, just when the few people walked halfway, just above the heads of the several people, where it was originally like a ceiling, a strange thing suddenly protruded down, a big mouth full of barbs and sharp teeth, like Like a snake, it came down and bit Sylvia in the middle of the line.

With a flash of red light, the snake-like thing was cut off in an instant, but it was Xing Tianyu who rescued Sylvia with a lightsaber.The advantage of psionic energy is that it is not only a powerful magic, but also can make the reaction speed of the human body unimaginably fast, and the perception is even more amazing. Listen, within the range covered by psionic energy, no disturbance can escape his perception.

That's how the sword was cut out. With a bang, the cut off piece of strange object fell to the ground, and a foul-smelling liquid fell from the cut, and the thing retracted quickly. Looking upwards, it was only at this time that they realized that there was a washbasin-sized patio-like pipe above everyone's heads, which had been sealed by something like mucus before, so that everyone couldn't find it.

"Damn it." Sylvia was obviously frightened. Although she had body-protecting magic, even if she was bitten just now, it wouldn't hurt her, but the fright made her annoyed. Gathering in his hand, he waved his hand casually, and the raging flames poured into the hole, and the scorched smell was overflowing. Looking at the ground, the thing that was cut off just now was a strange piece of flesh. part of a living thing.

This thing looks very strange, with a dark outer skin, inside is a retractable flesh-red limb, and the tip of the limb is covered with barb-shaped teeth.

"What the hell is this? A leech? Why is it so big!" The Blood Duke looked at the monster on the ground with disgust.

Franken didn't want to dislike it, grabbed the writhing monster, and looked at the strange creature in front of him with the eyes of a scientific researcher, with some surprise on his face, "This looks like the ancestral coelom, At least the appearance is very similar, but the problem is that the protocoel is a creature that has been extinct a long time ago, and the protocoel is supposed to only live in swampy areas, and there is no reason to grow so big." And talk.

"How do you know this?" Xing Tianyu asked in surprise.

"I used to be a paleontologist." Franken said indifferently, "We'd better be careful, if even the branch grows so big, then its body size must be amazing."

Soon Xing Tianyu understood what it meant to be extremely astonishing. Along the way, everyone was constantly attacked by these strange creatures. They continuously launched surprise attacks from the walls, under the floor, and above their heads.Although it was unsuccessful, it was very annoying. When they came to the next hall, the body of the ancestor coelom finally appeared in front of everyone.

The floor of this hall is covered with that kind of slime, which makes it look like a huge swamp. A large mass of fleshy thing sits on the slimy area. It is difficult to describe the specific appearance of this thing in words.It doesn't have a specific shape, it looks like a pile of mud piled up randomly, there are some holes in the mud, exuding a strong stench and yellow-green gas, many fleshy limbs grow out of the mud, every time Each limb topped with a retractable mouth with barbed teeth, the very ones that had struck them earlier.As if sensing the entry of the crowd, the pile of mud-like things slowly squirmed.

Xing Tianyu didn't take the monster in front of him too seriously. Although it was big, it looked disgusting and scary.But compared to those monsters he faced before, the deterrent effect of this thing is obviously not that exaggerated.

"Come on, guys, let's kill it," he said, holding the Sith lightsaber in one hand, and began to gather psionic energy in the other.

"Psionic lightning." As soon as he raised his hand, it was his signature big move. There was no possibility of hitting such a large enemy, and the spiritual lightning hit the monster's body. Doesn't seem to be hurt.

"Look at me." Sylvia said, and with a wave of his hand, a fireball the size of a washbasin greeted the monster. With a loud bang, the concentrated hot air in the fireball exploded, and flesh and blood flew all over the place. .On that muddy body, a big hole two meters long was blasted.

However, the disappeared flesh and blood squirmed, and slowly grew out again. The mucus and mud-like substances on the surrounding ground quickly filled the missing part of the monster.

"It's quite resistant to beating." Sylvia sneered, the energy of the arcane swirled around her body, and the fireballs were thrown one after another as if they didn't want money. The monster's body was blasted flat, but the monster didn't care.Its muddy body does not seem to be made of ordinary flesh and blood, but can assimilate the surrounding organic matter at will, constantly being blasted to pieces, and constantly reorganizing.At the same time, its leech clones also stretched out towards everyone.Xing Tianyu brandished his lightsaber, cutting all the protruding things into two pieces.Lucifer also kindled the demon fire.

"It's useless." Franken said suddenly, "The Coelomus Progenitor is a special creature that lives in the form of nerve bundles. Even if its body is completely wiped out, it is impossible to really kill it. It’s a theory, but now it seems to be true, and I suspect that the thing in front of me is not its body, its body should be deeper underground, and it can’t be killed by just such a random explosion.”

Xing Tianyu said helplessly, "Then what do you think we should do? Should we just leave it alone? We still have to take this road when we come back. We can't leave a threat on the road."

"I have an idea, just wait for me." Franken said, a layer of mucus quickly grew on his body, forming a cocoon-like thing through the mucus, and Franken inside could be seen rapidly undergoing some kind of transformation.

With a click, the cocoon burst open suddenly, and everyone was shocked when they saw Franken inside.His body became a cylinder, section by section, like a huge worm.

"Damn, what the hell! You, you, you..." Several people were speechless in amazement. Although Franken had also demonstrated his ability to mutate before, such a strange thing in front of him still surpassed everyone. The three views.

If he hadn't seen the process of his mutation with his own eyes, he would have definitely regarded him as a monster in this ancient underground city.

Franken who turned into a worm said with a strange voice and a calm tone, "There are many forms of life, this is just one of my forms, don't be so surprised, wait for my good news Right." He said, with a vigorous flick of his slender body, he jumped more than ten meters in the air, like a ground penetrating bomb, and landed on the pile of mud. The spiral external organ on his head easily The ground tore apart the monster's body, and then quickly drilled down, and the two-meter-long body disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The monster that is suspected to be the ancestral coelom seems to be very unhappy about the addition of something in its body. Its slimy body is constantly surging, and it starts to spray poisonous gas, and the yellow-green gas permeates everywhere.Sylvia hastily opened a protective cover to protect everyone, but in this way, she couldn't attack. Those leeches, which were thick and thin, kept slamming on the protective cover, and their barb-shaped mouthparts were ferocious. clear and distinct.

"Hey, how long can you last?" Xing Tianyu asked with concern.

"It's fine to last a whole day." Sylvia said confidently, while taking out a bottle of diluted magic potion and pouring it into her mouth.

But it seems that it doesn't need to last for a day, and within 5 minutes, the monster twitched violently, and all the tentacles shrank back, writhing like a snake with its tail caught, and even tore each other. Bite, but soon they stopped moving. Its huge body, as if it had lost its support, slowly collapsed. With a puff, Franken got out of the thing again.He quickly climbed to the ground, and quickly changed back to the appearance of the lizard man. Xing Tianyu couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He thought the appearance of the lizard man was very hideous and terrifying before, but now he finds it much more pleasing to the eye.

"The thing is dead? How did you do it? Destroy its heart?"

Franken shook his head, "It's the nerve center. The Coelomus Progenitor has no heart or brain, but its neural network has a center. I cut off this center and connected it to my body, so now I It's under control."

These words made several people's eyelids jump, "Wait a minute, why didn't I see anything attached to your body?" Xing Tianyu looked around Franken's body, feeling that his three views had been challenged.

Franken smiled, "Because of the wireless connection, I left a part of my body underground, and at the same time evolved a nerve transmission system on that part of my body, and I can control it from a distance. Of course, I can't Too far, no more than 3000 meters."

"This made me lose some body, but the advantage is that I can use this monster's clone to ensure the safety of the next part of the journey."

Xing Tianyu said in his heart, this is really fucking miraculous, the Summoner is really capable, so you can't underestimate it.

"Then let's move on." He said, and the team set off again. Sylvia used the levitation technique to lead everyone over the huge swamp left by the monster, and then moved on.

The next part of the journey was indeed very safe. Under Franken's guidance, everyone went unimpeded all the way, and soon penetrated into the interior of the ancient city.As the mucus gradually disappeared, everyone gradually left the area controlled by the ancestor leech. They found another node hall and opened the map. They found that they had already entered one-fifth of the distance.

"If my guess is correct, there should be more than one ancestral coeloid like this. It is very likely that they grew around this ancient city. There should be at least ten or eight, which should be some kind of peripheral defense system. "

Xing Tianyu nodded, "It is indeed very possible."

However, he frowned, "Do you find it strange that if there is any defense system in this Sakaduum city, it should be based on psionic energy, after all, this is their old profession. And don’t you find it strange that this kind of biological defense system is theoretically impossible to remain intact after millions of years.”

When he said this, everyone immediately felt a little strange.

At this moment, a long-lost voice suddenly sounded.

[Shadow can detect all kinds of strange signs revealed by this ancient city of Sakaduum. Judging from the information seen so far, it seems that something has happened to this city, but things are more than they can imagine. The situation is much more serious, what awaits them ahead is an unprecedented terrifying existence]
