Chapter 67: Escape

Huge tentacles pierced through the surface and fell behind him, chasing after him like a grim reaper, and the whole tunnel shook the ground, and from time to time falling rocks rolled down, and could collapse at any time.

Keisha attempts to bombard the tentacles with a barrage of electricity, but fails to break the black carapace. Kane dragged her on, and the frenzied beast tide was already filling the tunnel behind her.

As he ran, Kane suddenly pushed Keisha away, and an abyssal jaw emerged from the rock beneath his feet, biting him in one bite.

Fangs gripped Kane's arm, leaving deep marks on his armor, but didn't shake him off.

The toothy esophagus was contracting hard, and the hose-like tongue pierced Kane's eyes.

Kane had expected it, but even this trap was deliberately stepped on by him.

He reached out and grabbed his long tongue, wrapped it around his hand several times, and then pulled it off alive.

Bone spurs then grow from the back of the hand and pierce the heart of the burrowing worm from the side.

The fanged jaw let go of Kane's arm, and his well-defined torso softened, and Kane pulled it out with both hands, revealing the cave that the insect monster had dug through and was also a survival passage for the two.

"Quick, Keisha, you're in first!"

Keisha was using her firepower to slow down the approach of the beast tide, and she spewed flames with the blades of her fists, and the pods burst into bursts of scorching barrage, bringing destruction and death to those hideous and ugly monsters.

Hearing Kane's urging, she decisively stopped, ran over and jumped down the cave.

Kane followed, but as soon as he jumped, huge tentacles rained down from the sky and pierced into the narrow cavern.

The sky seemed to fall, and Kane looked at the drill bit that was suddenly magnified overhead, and subconsciously stretched out his hands to resist it.

Rumble!

The huge impact seemed to penetrate him, and his back was rubbed against the rock wall, and his feet could not find any support point, and his body was devastated.

In less than a second, Kane was covered in bruises.

He was stunned unconscious, and a purple light flashed in front of him, peeking through the shutter-like cracks in his armor.

The tentacle stretched to the extreme and began to shrink upward.

Kane let go of his claws on the tentacle carapace in a trance, and the whole person slid down the cave wall without any support.

Keisha slid through the cave, a steep and slow turn in front of her, and she grabbed the cave wall with her hand to slow down, but she never thought that the rock wall was only a thin layer, and she would directly break it!

She fell into a cavern with a slope below her, with other passages connecting to the upper and lower ends.

Keisha quickly got up, and when she saw that there were no void creatures nearby, she looked up at the hole she had broken above.

A black shadow slid down quickly, very fast, without the slightest trace of slowing down, allowing Keisha to subconsciously dodge.

Bang!

Kane fell on a slope in front of Kesha, making a real muffled thud.

His dark condensation armor had been shattered, and the second skin on his back had been ground to pieces, revealing mottled bloodless wounds inside.

Keisha was so frightened that her face turned bloodless, and she regretted why she hadn't tried to use Kane. She hurriedly walked over to pick up the confused Kane, and listened to his snort in pain, her heart full of worry.

Thundered.

In front of him, carapace monsters fell out of the widened hole like dumplings. They snapped and fell on the slope, or on all fours, or rolled down the slope.

Seeing this, Keisha turned and ran, taking Kane into the deep darkness.

It didn't take long for the Void Beast Tide to catch up again.

Keisha quickened her pace, she could actually walk faster with Kane on her back, but the shoulder pod behind her was so in the way that she couldn't carry him like she used to.

Listen to the fangs and claws surging behind him, getting closer and closer. Her skin and armor were stirring, aroused by the smell of blood, and she wanted to devour the people around her.

She knew it was the smell of blood from Kane's wound that kept attracting the beasts, so she gritted her teeth and dropped the unused bottle of perfume into the narrow tunnel.

The strong smell quickly evaporated behind him, instantly filling the entire tunnel, and the smell of blood was covered, and Keisha took the opportunity to hold Kane and quickly shake off the bewildered beasts.

……

When Kane woke up, he found himself lying flat on the ground with his back up. Keisha was putting the mashed heart on his back, encouraging the regrowth of his skin and nails.

"Don't move." Keisha noticed that he had woken up and reminded.

Kane actually only needs to consume energy to grow skin armor, and when I hear her say this, just lie down and be a salted fish.

"It's good to have you, otherwise I would have died in this situation alone." There was a tingling sensation in his back, and although it wasn't very comfortable, Kane let out a soft grunt.

After living with Skinnail for a long time, he felt that there was something wrong with his perception of pain, and the general level of pain could no longer arouse his stress response, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.

"I wouldn't have been here without you." Keisha sighed.

Originally, on the edge of Shurima, they were almost at the top of the food chain. But after coming to Acacia, they were beaten to the bottom again.

In this lost place, she fully felt her own insignificance.

Those deformed giant beasts have already despised them in size and strength, but these giant beasts are not willing to let go of this bit of meat on their bodies, once they find it, they will chase and kill them with all their might, and every time they have to do their best to escape.

"As long as you find your uncle, it's all worth it."

Kane scrambled to his feet, the skin and armor on his back intertwined and stitched together, and began to return nourishment to repair his flesh. He then caused the skin armor to secrete the pale substance, which re-hardened to form an outer layer of dark condensation armor.

"Can you really find it......" Keisha muttered as she spoke.

After seeing the horror of Acacia, she became more and more worried—how would her father, a mortal, survive in this bizarre and dangerous world?

Even she herself had narrowly escaped several times, not to mention that he had to avenge the village, and it was difficult for mortals to even save their lives here.

……

After many encounters with terrifying beasts on the ground, Kane no longer dared to appear rashly on the surface.

For people like them, who are used to hunting and living underground, the underground tunnels that extend in all directions can bring them a sense of security and make them more comfortable fighting.

It's just that Kane has his reason to go to the surface and have a look.

The previous intact tower is the key!

He knew who the tower belonged to, and he knew why it had survived the disaster.

Sheltered by some powerful magic, the tower became the only safe spot in the ruins of Acacia.

If Keisha's father had come here, there would have been a high probability that he had been to the tower, and even used the tower as a shelter!
