Chapter 41: The Abyss Demon (Part I)
in the stone chamber
Normanx didn't answer my last question directly, just briefly. There's nothing to mention about the point, and it doesn't seem to mean anything to tell me at all.
I didn't mind too much that I didn't get the answer I wanted. After all, I asked him, and he didn't have to answer, and it was very good to tell me so much information.
Seeing that we were all ready, he waved a spatial portal and pointed to it. "Go inside, and you'll be on the next side. Here, I wish you all the best of luck and I await you at the fourth venue. I hope you don't lose too many people, at least five people. Hehe......"
We are all very disgusted by his last words. Why don't you reduce the number of people too much, just look down on us like this, you must all live over, let him see how good we are.
Since there was nothing left to ask about, we said goodbye to him, and one by one we entered the spatial portals and headed to the next venue for the third test.
Seeing that we had all entered the portal, he immediately changed the destination of the spatial portal, so he entered it himself, and the spatial portal disappeared.
The stone chamber was empty again, waiting for the day when it would be reactivated.
Entering the spatial portal, Normanx came to the island in the middle of the lake, to the pavilion.
At this time, Isomus Loria and Tianyue seemed to know that he was coming, and they all looked at Normanx, who was walking into the pavilion.
Tianyue waited until Normnex sat down, and then said. "Normanx, the last group of people is finally going to have their third test. There's nothing going on with you now, so let's go see what's going on over there. ”
As soon as Normanx sat down, he didn't expect Tianyue to propose leaving, and he replied hesitantly. "Isn't it too early for now, why don't you wait until all the people are gathered before going?"
Tianyue tilted her head, thought about it, and replied. "Well, you're right, so be it. Anyway, with my sister Tianyin in charge, nothing should happen. ”
Asomus Loria on the side heard Tianyue talk about her sister and said to Tianyue. "I'm very relieved about Tianyin, she is a very cognitive person, she always has to do things well, and she is very trustworthy."
"Huh!" Tianyue said very happily to me complimenting her sister. "I'm thanking Aliya for my sister Xie Lu's appreciation, if she knows that you praise her, she will definitely be too happy."
Closing the topic, Athomusloria looked at Normanx and asked. "Normanx, you've looked at those people and think a few of them will be able to make it to the final process."
"Hmm." Normanx thought for a moment as he remembered them, and then replied. "About 12 people."
"Oh!" The two were surprised, and Athomus Loria didn't expect Normanx to say the number. "12 people, so many. I think there are only 5 people at most, and they are all mediocre guys, and there is nothing special about them. ”
Tianyue also interjected and expressed her opinion. "I think seven people." After a pause, he continued. "Well, bet or not. Look at who said the number of people and the correct number of people in the last place, and bet on ten bottles of Wanhua Wanxiang wine. ”
Ethomus Loria and Normanx looked at each other, and both saw each other's strong confidence that they would win.
"Okay, I'm a bet." The two said in unison.
Tianyue saw that the two of them answered very handsomely and quickly, so she confirmed again. "You can say it, that's ten bottles of Wanhua Wanxiang wine, don't regret it then."
Asymus Loria was angry at Tianyue's words, so she assured with great certainty. "Don't worry, when did I regret it. If I lose, I'll buy it for the winner. ”
Normanx said the same. "Me too, if I lose, I'll buy it for the winner."
Seeing the assurances of the two, Tianyue was very happy, as if she already thought that the victory was in her hands. "Okay, then we'll see."
The three of them looked at each other and laughed together.
Entering the spatial portal, the scene changes instantly, and we have come from the stone chamber to an empty space.
There was nothing here, a patch of blue overhead, pure white underfoot, like standing on a cloud high in the sky. The touch under your feet is soft and it has a nice elasticity, so you can think of it as a cloud. The area is not large, only 10 square meters.
Just as we were about to look around, the gravitational acceleration of the sudden descent occurred. Soon the cloud under my feet was far away from the other clouds, and the speed of descent was very fast, and I don't know when the road will descend like this.
Although the descent was fast, there was nothing else and we could still walk around freely on it. Some curious guys, when they came to the edge and looked down, I couldn't help but look over.
Looking down, only one black dot can be seen now, and although it continues to fall, that black dot is getting bigger and bigger. After about five minutes, I could already see that it was a huge rock, a large area, several square kilometers in size.
After another three minutes, the descent slowed down, and the distance to the huge rock gradually narrowed, and it was not long before the same height was reached.
After two minutes, the cloud we were standing on was finally level with the rock, leaning against the edge of the rock, and only one step was needed to reach the rock.
We found that the rock was floating in the air, and the ground was a sea blue, like the color of the sea.
There was nothing to be seen on the rocks, it was completely bare. It's 10 square kilometers in size, and it's a small island, just a rocky island without any flora or fauna.
After waiting for a while, nothing happened, so we walked to the island. Walking towards the center and looking around, I found that it was very flat, as if it had been cut out of a flat plane at a time.
We move forward cautiously, guarding against possible sudden dangers. Until we got to the center, we didn't encounter any surprises. This is not normal, since we have arrived here, how can the test not begin, what are we waiting for?
The nine of us circled the city, looking around, waiting for the so-called Level 2 test to begin. But after ten minutes, nothing happened.
I didn't notice anything around, so I looked up to see if there was anything special up there.
Looking up, I suddenly saw a huge sphere 800 meters above, with a diameter of 50 meters, showing a dark red color, and the pattern on the surface was like a flame.
The orb was descending, and I shouted. "Everyone, run, something has fallen from above, be careful of being smashed."
Without finishing speaking, he ran forward with all his might. The others heard me shouting, saw me running forward, and when they looked up and saw the huge sphere, they all ran forward in a panic.
"......Boom" Soon the huge roar was remembered, the smoke and dust scattered, and nothing could be seen clearly.
To confirm the condition of my companion, I shouted around. "You're fine. If it's okay, shout loudly. ”
Eight responses came from different places, confirming that everyone was safe and sound, and my nervous heart was relieved. The scattered smoke and dust slowly sank, and after a while, it returned to its original state.
It's just that there's a huge pit in the ground, and the dark red orb is inside. I walked slowly towards it, and the others came from somewhere else.
When they came to the front, everyone gathered together and looked at the thing carefully, and found that up close, it looked a bit like an egg, but it was a little too big.
"Knock...... Knock ......" Suddenly there was a beating sound similar to a heart from inside, and we were startled, and hurried away from here, in the distance, watching the changes here.
I stared very closely, and soon found an anomaly, a crack appeared on it. The top was arched from the inside, as if something was about to come out.
The arch grew higher and higher, and eventually the rupture began, and a huge head appeared in front of us. The head of the unknown creature kept shaking, and the cracks on the eggshell gradually expanded, and soon the limbs were suddenly blocked by the eggshell, stretching out, and then the eggshell broke in half, and the unknown creature was completely presented in front of our eyes.
It was a large, two-legged creature covered in dark red scales. It has a very strong body, standing up to 45 meters tall, a very large head, very strong jaw muscles, and a powerful bite force. Its mouth has sharp teeth, each about 1.2 meters long, and the more half of it is exposed, the edges of the teeth are jagged and slightly curved, so that the structure of the jaw and teeth is undoubtedly the result of feeding on other creatures, tearing and chewing large pieces of flesh for a long time.
Its hind limbs are strong and stout, with three toes on the soles of its feet, sharp claws on the fingers, and many bone spurs on its body, which shows its ferocity and horror even more. It appears that its claws and teeth are useful combat weapons, and the bone spurs on its body can also be used for ramming.
At this time, white mist is exhaled from the mouth from time to time, and hot air is spewed out from the nostrils from time to time. Now it hasn't noticed us, it's just not shaking its huge head, as if it's not awake yet, it's in an unconscious state.
Suddenly a giant unidentified creature came out of it, and we were all stunned. We slowly retreated, distancing ourselves from it. It wasn't until five kilometers later that we stopped and continued to stare at it.
The unidentified creature that shook its head from time to time finally stopped shaking, and its godless eyes suddenly turned blood-red, and it turned its head to look around. Just as it turned to us, it suddenly stopped, then opened its mouth wide and let out a loud roar.
"Whew......"
Startled by the loud roar, we realized that it was the third test, and that we had to overcome it before we could move on to our next destination and continue with the next trial.
Now I can only face this terrifying creature in front of me, which seems to be very difficult to deal with, and nothing else has to be considered.
