Chapter 38: The Taste of Life

"Nope." Kane immediately vetoed Keisha's request: "I can't contact humans yet, until I can control the detachment of the skin armor." ”

If he knew that he could see the human settlement from the rock pillar, he wouldn't have allowed Keisha to come up.

"I'll just see, I won't affect their lives."

Keisha also knew that she would scare people, and after the previous incident, she had lost hope that she would clarify that she was not a monster. But it's always okay to look at it from afar, right?

"There are many people in the settlement, and if you can see them, they will be able to see you. People will attack you en masse! ”

"Not necessarily, don't forget that I can be invisible." Keisha vanished out of thin air and reappeared, as if by magic.

"This ...... So what if it's exposed? "Worry is chaos, Kane actually forgot about this stubble.

"I'll just run out, and they won't be able to catch up with me." Keisha puts one foot on a higher level of rock, showing off her perfect thigh line.

"Alas...... Go if you like. ”

Kane couldn't get Keisha in the end, and he couldn't stop her if she didn't obey.

Okay, the scar forgot the pain, he thought that he would just let her recognize the indifference of human society like this, and then he could learn to be obedient thoroughly.

Keisha didn't pay much attention to the helplessness in Kane's voice, she only heard an affirmative answer. She jumped up with joy and kissed Kane again, only this time Kane didn't feel like much.

It's boring, and the original good mood suddenly becomes very irritable.

"You can go, but you have to go underground." He reminded.

After saying this, Keisha came over and put her arm around him, urging him to hurry up, more than anything else.

Kane didn't know what to do, it was already the next day from the underground, and by the time he reached the bottom of the settlement.

While the last bit of light on the earth was not yet swallowed up by darkness, the two returned to the underground world through the patio.

Surprisingly, when the two returned to the underground, they found a monster waiting for them under the patio that they had never seen before.

It looked like a living corpse that had been dried in the desert for years, with a rickety, black, hard, wrinkled and dehydrated body. The limbs were so thin that only bones remained, and they were shrunk and lifted up in front of their chests like withered branches, and their fingers were curved and sharp like eagle claws.

It's a person, but its face is far from a person.

The dirty turban slanted down and covered half of the face, and the uncovered half of the face was half-hidden and showed a dark eyeball.

The size of this eyeball does not match the eye socket, because it is smaller, causing the purple light in the skull to shine through, making the eye socket glow slightly.

Underneath the one-eye, there is a large mouth full of needles, which occupies most of the face, squeezing out the original position of the nose, and the corners of the mouth are cracked under the ears.

"Quack!"

It saw the two of them and staggered closer, letting out a hungry roar as purple dots of light escaped from his mouth.

Seeing this void creature, the eyes of both of them were not very good-looking.

It's not that he's strong.

On the contrary, it is weaker, not much better than the lowest-level ethereal spirits. It's the kind of cannon fodder creature that can be blown to pieces by Keisha with a plasma bomb, or pierced through the heart by Kane's finger.

It's that it reminds both of them of bad memories.

Keisha recognized through the living corpse's costume that it was the escaped birdseller, and he could not heed her warnings, and in the end he was not spared the fate of becoming a monster.

And Kane felt like he saw the human being eroded for the first time, and if he hadn't succeeded in symbiosis at the beginning, maybe he would have become the ghost in front of him, right?

"How?" Kane looked at Keisha, who he also recognized as the living corpse.

He wanted to see what Keisha thought of it. Person? Or is it a monster?

Keisha answered him with action.

"May you find an endless source...... And never be turned away. ”

There were words in her mouth, as if she were praying, as if she were exceeding. She raised her right hand, palm against the faltering walking corpse, gathering energy and shooting a glowing bullet towards its chest.

There was no doubt that the living corpse had been blown into a strange mass of flesh, purple slurry splattering the ground.

Keisha felt something in her heart be put down, and she called Kane, walking past the flesh without any fuss.

……

The road conditions underground are much more complicated than those on the ground, and it takes three days to pass underground, even though the distance is less than 10 kilometers on the ground.

None of the tunnels lead directly to the bottom of their destination, and they have to constantly change lanes, stumble in the right direction, face choices before plausible forks.

After living underground for a long time, both of them have developed an indescribable sense of direction, which can ensure that their general direction will not deviate, or they can realize that they are going the wrong way and correct it immediately.

In addition to this, they often encounter Ethereal Swarms blocking their path.

If the scale is small, the swarm of slaughtering insects will force their way through. If it's too big, you'll have to find another way.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, the two of them came to the bottom of the human settlement and began to explore upwards in search of an exit.

The comings and goings of the Void creatures tend to smooth out and enlarge the tunnels, and just like the exploited attractions, they are also changed by the entry and exit of tourists.

Therefore, those treacherous, treacherous and treacherous narrow paths have become the focus of the two of them. They are like flies drilling eggs, digging into the rugged paths, searching for the unknown.

It took them a few more days to figure out the general conditions of the surrounding area, and Kane found many three-dimensional maps that were unknown to the monsters and that had left a deep impression in his mind.

Some of the roads were dead, but the end was already close to the ground, and you could even feel the vibrations coming from above. However, Keisha did not force a breakthrough through them, and she was sure that she would be able to know the secret exit.

A few more days passed, and many passages were explored and ruled out as dead ends.

There were only a few trails left to explore, and Kane barely bothered to muster himself, but Keisha was still in high spirits and enthusiastic.

And it was in these last few paths that they made new discoveries.

In the narrow tunnel diagonally upward, it is customary for Keisha to climb in front, while Kane is close behind.

"Kane, do you smell anything!" Suddenly, she stopped, screaming in excitement.

Kane looked up, three feet in front of him facing Kesha's buttocks, and he was embarrassed in the dark when he heard this, and then moved his nose and sniffed.

It is neither the smell of fear, nor the smell of magic, nor the smell of hydrogen sulfide!

Hehe, how could a beautiful girl fart a stinky fart?

He smelled the smell of roasted meat, animal feces, and a strong smell of spices.

Those are the smell of life, the texture of the hustle and bustle of the earthly world.

And the reason why this smell can waft here shows the fact that this passage leads to the human settlement above!
