Chapter XXVII

Since the two of them narrowly escaped under the mouth of the beast, more than a year has passed unconsciously.

During this period, the relationship between the two showed no signs of warming up.

There are no surprises in the underworld, only fright, and Kane can't find a place to strengthen his relationship.

And Keisha only realizes that she also likes Kane, but does not make any further moves at all. The care and companionship were always there, and she was completely unaware of the rest.

It's not interesting to say this kind of thing, Kane won't say it. Besides, the two of them are still young, and the future is long, and there is time to understand.

The underworld is still in crisis, but the two of them have never encountered a situation where they almost put their lives into it like the Hunter Siege.

Although the abyss met a few more, they were all the same. But after knowing that the terrifying presence on the other side could detect the approach of living creatures, they avoided them all and hid as far away as they could.

Otherwise, every time you get close to the abyss, you will encounter a major crisis, and you will always put your life into it.

And emergencies like falling on the ground don't happen very often.

The underground world is extremely huge, since the end of the Aikasia Void War for three thousand five thousand years, the scope of activity of the Void Creations has radiated from Acacia to the surrounding areas, and now nearly half of the underground of the Shurima Continent can be found in their traces.

And in such a large space, the probability of encountering a fall event is very low. Moreover, the area where the two of them were active was close to the depths, and the things that fell were often eaten by the void creatures in the area close to the surface, and there was not even a trace of them when they rushed over.

After more than a year of stable development, Kesha's skin armor finally grew shoulder pods, and Kane completed full coverage.

The large shoulder pods grew from the shoulder blades, and the front end was attached to the collarbone, hanging behind her shoulders.

The shoulder pods are shaped like angular snail shells, with diamond-shaped openings at the front and sharp ends, and the middle is thicker than Keisha's bust, which looks very obstructive.

But it was such a heavy, aerodynamic structure that unusually didn't slow Keisha down much.

It's hollow and lightweight, and it's a lot lighter to the touch than it looks.

The Void Shoulder Pod is Kesha's portable ammunition depot, and the opening of the pod is covered with a web formed by the Void energy, which can fire multiple plasma bombs at the same time like a pod bursting out of beans, and its power should not be underestimated.

In addition to not being able to put it away and affecting her sitting and lying down, it did help her a lot in the battle.

Although Kane didn't know when Keisha had fully evolved as a person, he was sure that because of his intervention, this time was at least two years earlier.

From the appearance of the skin armor, it can be seen that Kane and Keisha have different evolutionary directions.

Although it was also divided into two layers, Kane's outer layer of dark condensation armor was almost full of weak points, unlike Keisha who only covered all limbs.

If Keisha is a terrifying assassin in tights, then Kane is a terrifying knight in sturdy bone armor.

Although he can't stealth and isn't as agile as Keisha, his strength and resistance skills are much stronger.

Now Kane can stand tall in the siege of the Ethereal Swarm, and if he can encounter it again, the power may be able to meet the hunter head-on, or try to carry a mouth cannon in the flesh.

In terms of long-range firepower, he naturally can't compete with the specialized Keshabi. You can only make the skin armor grow bone spurs, and then shoot them out.

With Keisha's energy missile, his bone spurs are not only low in power, slow in preparation, but also consume more materials.

He'd tried adding some unstable Void energy to it, allowing the bone spurs to explode when they stabbed an enemy, but the power was only as high as that of Kaisha.

Maybe it's okay to deal with fragile humans, and it really can't be used on Void creatures with tenacious vitality.

Kane felt that the best way to use the bone spur was to have it attached to his arm and act as a brachial spur.

The hardness of the bone spurs itself is sufficient, and with the tremendous strength of the skin armor, most of the void creatures are basically stabbed to death.

In addition, Kane's long-term attempts have led to an increase in his ability to manipulate skin armor.

Unlike the inner layer of skin, the outer layer of dark condensation armor can actually be peeled off like molting and shedding its shell under his mind.

However, after doing so, it can be very energy-intensive to regrow the armor. In this dangerous environment underground, this layer of armor is the guarantee of his life, and he would not normally do it if it were not badly damaged.

The armor did bring a sense of distance to the two of them in their hug, but they both believed that each other's safety was more important than anything else, and that it was okay to sacrifice some touch.

At the very least, the two of them can still touch their noses and rub their faces......

……

The two of them walked in the dark tunnel as usual, searching for prey day and night, only the pods on Keisha's shoulders shone faintly in the darkness.

This light is not enough for human eyes to see, but in order to adapt to the life below, both of them now have a new vision.

Those who didn't adapt are dead.

Kane in front, Keisha in the back.

During the hunt, the two generally do not communicate much, and focus on searching for the prey and listening to the movements of the prey.

Ever since their hands had grown skin armor, the two of them hadn't walked together hand-in-hand.

Through the two pairs of Void Skin Armor, holding hands again no longer has the same feeling as at the beginning.

Moreover, they are no longer the two children who were afraid of everything when they first came down. In the past, the most feared thing was that the other party was lost in the dark and held hands tightly, but now even if they act separately, they will not worry.

Both have grown a lot.

The front of the tunnel is connected to a cavern, and the dome of the cave has a passage left by the hollow creatures that wind its way to the top.

Since the full coverage was completed, some steep terrain was no longer a problem to climb, so the two began to deliberately approach the surface, trying to find an exit back to the surface world.

If they come across an upward passage, both will explore it.

Kane stood in the middle of the cavern, pointing to the passage above and looking back at Keisha.

It's too high.

Keisha approached in tacit agreement, bending her knees and placing her hands on her thighs. Kane stepped on Keisha's palm, and then Keisha exerted her strength, and Kane's whole person was thrown up by her strong arch.

As he flew to the highest point, Kane grabbed the passage with his claws, but instead of continuing to climb upwards, he hung under the passage, acting as a human ladder.

In order to ensure that the rock wall could hold the weight of two people without crumbling, he let several bone spurs grow from his skin armor and nail it into the rock wall, and only nodded to Keisha below after confirming that it was secure.

That's when Keisha was able to show off her unrivaled athletic reach.

She bent her knees and took a leap for life.

Easily hugged Kane's thighs.
