Chapter 63: Woe to the Nine
As if feeling that it was being played, the beast moved, and its bulging one-eyed flickered with fire.
A bolt of lightning tore through the night, and the two were shrouded in a huge shadow cast by the behemoth.
Thunder rumbled, and the beast, though huge and slow, barely made a sound, as if it were a troll that existed only in a wildly imaginary imagination.
Or rather, the sound it makes is imperceptible to the two.
The giant hoof lifted and stepped down, and Kane was nimble enough to dodge it. It stepped on a hernia and was violently entangled in its hooves by its thick roots, but it immediately broke free with great force.
Kane anxiously searched for an entrance to the tunnel near beneath the behemoth, remembering that there was an entrance as he searched the town.
Suddenly, Keisha screamed, and Kane felt himself being watched with horror again.
The earth was lit up by purple firelight, and when he looked up, the beast had moved away and refocused its burning eye at him.
The energy accumulated in it will soon burst out.
The threat of death loomed over again, and then the light of the fire cast by the one-eyed, Kane found a crack in the ground in the middle of the danger, a crack in the ground that connected to the underground tunnel!
Not doubting him, he immediately rushed down with Keisha.
Because there was no slowing down to eliminate inertia, and the space in the crack was so small that they almost hit the exposed bedrock and fell apart.
Kane stood up and found himself in an awkward position - the escape tunnel was at one end, and Keisha fell to the other, suddenly faced with a dilemma.
Seeing that the tragic purple light was about to flood the narrow line of sky, Kane made a choice without hesitation, and rushed towards Keisha with a roll, while beckoning her to get up and run for her life!
Kesha's skin armor didn't have that good protection, and she was a little slower to recover from the impact fall, but hearing Kane's shout, the instinct to survive immediately activated her body.
She felt her body burning, and this skin armor had never been so submissive to her will.
The heat dissipation armor on the leg pops open, and the restriction is lifted!
Under the threat of death, she runs, turns into an afterimage, turns into lightning!
The world slowed down, Kane's movements froze like a sculpture for a moment, she gritted her teeth, and carried Kane into the tunnel first.
Then, a tragic purple light drowned everything behind him.
Keisha hadn't gone far in the tunnel before she suddenly fell, but the distance was enough for them to get out of danger.
There was a cacophony of matter dissolving.
She looked back at the tunnel swept by the pillar of light, which had been sealed in molten rock, the smoldering flames quickly extinguished, and the charred area gave off an indescribable smell of burning.
"What's the matter with your legs......" Kane, who fell out, walked back on his knees in a panic, touched Kesha's trembling legs, and his face changed: "Hiss, it's so hot!" ”
Keisha lowered her head when she heard this, and it was then that she realized that her legs were actually hot and smoking......
Returning to her body, Keisha felt a burning pain from her body, feeling that her skin armor was like a large red-hot soldering iron, biting her skin tightly, especially her legs, which made her break out in a cold sweat.
"Running without restrictions, the skin armor is overheated." Keisha gritted her teeth in reply.
Kane tried to untie Kesha's skin armor, which was already overheated, and his full strength of synaesthesia directly caused him to fall into the furnace heat, and the burning pain made him unable to gather his spirit, in which case he directly changed his strategy.
He manipulated Keisha's shoulder pod to unleash rounds of plasma bombs, the most wasteful but most efficient way to expel the heat from the overload of the skin armor.
Bombarding the molten rock for nearly half a minute, until the entire tunnel was filled with black smoke from the dissolution of the material, the temperature on Kesha's body finally dropped.
When he withdrew consciousness, his forehead was covered with sweat, as if he had been in a circle on the crater.
But even so, Keisha's subcutaneous tissue was still burned, but it was wrapped in skin armor and couldn't be seen.
"I'll carry you to a safe place and get you some food."
Absorbing energy allows skin armor to repair its own injuries, as Kane has proven many times. But it must be done as soon as possible, before the wound heals, otherwise when the body begins to heal itself, the effect will be greatly reduced.
"Don't bother, I'm much better." Keisha held onto the rock wall and tried to stand up, but the sharp pain involved made her facial features twist.
Kane hurriedly supported her, and then squatted down to carry Keisha on her back.
Although she can't see it from the outside, Keisha is now a real burn patient, how can she move around?
"No, we must devour the energy to repair it immediately, otherwise it will be bad to leave sequelae. And, let's not forget that the big guy is still on top of us. ”
Kane couldn't help but carry her along the tunnel, and Keisha didn't shirk it, lying quietly on his back, which was not thick enough.
Until she felt like she needed to say something, "Kane, what was that thing called?" ”
"I don't know, I just know it's called Woe Lin."
Kane said he didn't know, not really, because he knew that there was a void creature that resembled Calin that had been banished by the ice crystal phoenix Anivia to the Arctic Ice Sheet north of Freljord.
This void creature is called the Mourning Beast, and the only difference between it and Calamity is that its one-eyed is blue.
"I've never seen anything like it, and the moment I saw it, I was so full of thoughts about running away that I couldn't afford to fight at all. Am I too cowardly, maybe I should try to fight back with a missile, like hitting it in the knee, and it won't be able to catch up......"
There was remorse in Kesha's tone, and she thought maybe she wouldn't be so embarrassed if she fought back.
"It's not called timidity, it's called self-knowledge. Weakness is the original sin, and there is no shame in the fact that we can only choose to run away in the face of a huge disparity in strength. Don't be discouraged! I'm the same. ”
Kane didn't think that Kesha's missile would break through Calamin's defenses, and even if it could, it would be repaired quickly.
Don't even think about hitting the knee or something, even if you break it, it's useless. The beast didn't chase them at all, and it almost killed them by sending a ray out of its one-eyed ray.
As for Kane, he didn't want to control the Calamity, the mind control was only fifty meters long, and the Calculus was more than fifty meters tall.
If the core of Calloue-Lin was in his chest, he might still be able to reach it, but if it was in his head, he wouldn't be able to establish synaesthesia even if he stood at his feet.
Moreover, even if synaesthesia is established, under the huge power gap, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be counterattacked.
"Kane, I'm wondering if I can kill the bronze halberd?"
