Chapter 008: Mysterious Palace
The discovery of human footprints indirectly shows that there are human beings in this world!
Compared with monsters that kill and devour each other and believe in the survival of the strong, human beings will be much more rational after all, and Concubine Zhang was also a human before she became a lizard.
If you can find human beings, maybe you can communicate with them if you try your best, and don't ordinary time-travel novels have the setting of "language mutualization"? I'm sure you'll be able to sit down and have a good chat.
Maybe you can also get some reasons why she was summoned to this world, and by the way, find a way to turn back into a human, it's perfect!
Concubine Zhang clenched her claws and swung her fist hard, as if she had found someone...... The goal of the beast.
“emmm……”
"The footprints look relatively new, they should be within three days, and they are the footprints of several people, they should be a team, I hope they don't all die in the cave!"
Judging by the judgment, Concubine Zhang speculated that it would not take more than three days for these humans to enter the "Abyss Cave", and if they chased them in the direction of the footprints now, they should be able to run into them.
"Huh? Wrong! ”
Just as Concubine Zhang was about to track down those humans, she suddenly discovered something amazing.
Concubine Zhang blinked, looked at the footprints on the ground, stretched out her paws and put them on them, the length was just right, and the width was not much different, that is to say......
"I'll it! Is the old lady that big? ”
Comparing the footprints, Concubine Zhang found that things were not so simple, and her claws were the same size as the footprints of an ordinary adult (first of all, excluding children from entering such a dangerous "abyss cave").
In a more understandable way, there is a difference in size between adults and lions.
Sure enough, creatures from other worlds can't be measured by Concubine Zhang's previous common sense, and a lot of time in the original world may not be possible, but here, everything is possible.
This is a short episode, and it does not affect Concubine Zhang's decision to catch up with the human team, they have all come to the other world, and they have all turned into a lizard, what else is unacceptable?
So, Concubine Zhang began to follow the footprints of the human team, following the direction of the footprints into the upper depths of the "Abyss Cave".
I don't know why, Concubine Zhang has a hunch that something terrible may happen this time (of course, it's not a matter of size).
As Concubine Zhang went deeper, she found that there were indeed traces of battle along the way, including the corpses of many monsters and bright red blood.
"Drop!"
"Human blood."
Through [Insight], Concubine Zhang determined that these footprints belonged to human beings.
As for those monster corpses, Concubine Zhang naturally ignored them directly, eating raw is a fresh, who have you ever seen who eats seafood sashimi with stinky fish and rotten shrimp?
Therefore, the corpses of these monsters that have been abandoned for several days cannot enter Concubine Zhang's eyes......
"Huh? This one seems to be quite fresh, take a bite and make sure the SP is full! ”
After continuing to track for a while, Concubine Zhang found that there was a corpse of the Demon Giant Frog Sour that had been dead for about a day on the road, and judged the freshness, so she couldn't help but smash her mouth, thinking that she could take a bite.
As we all know, because of the existence of the [Big Stomach King], Concubine Zhang's consumption of SP is very fast, and she has a hunch that there may be an emergency, so it is necessary to keep SP full.
“!”
Concubine Zhang suddenly stopped, a look of shock on her face, because she finally saw the human corpse.
There were also the corpses of several monsters next to the corpse, and now after a fierce battle, the human team was able to move forward at the cost of one person.
Leaning over to take a closer look, he found that the dead human was dressed in fine iron armor, and the weapon was a long sword, presumably a swordsman, with a mortal wound in the back, and a spider's severed foot that penetrated his body.
Although the spider's leg was cut off in time by the human teammate, he eventually died of ruptured internal organs and excessive blood loss.
"Why are they so desperate, are they looking for something?"
Concubine Zhang saw several places with traces of tragic battles along the way, where there were always some monster corpses and human bloodstains, indicating that the human team had not been easy along the way, and the price paid was also extremely painful, and it was here that a member was lost.
This aroused Concubine Zhang's curiosity, this human team went deep into the depths of the cave at any cost, there must be some secrets.
With a certain look in her eyes, Concubine Zhang became more determined in her idea of tracking the human team, and there might be unexpected gains if she followed them.
“……”
Just as Concubine Zhang was about to go deeper, her eyes suddenly stayed on the human corpse, and she swallowed her saliva unconsciously.
"No, no, no! This idea is too dangerous! Evil thoughts retreat, evil thoughts retreat......"
I don't know if it's because of the two special skills of [Devouring] and [Big Stomach King], Concubine Zhang has an urge to take a bite when she sees the corpse.
Second, because I was hungry fast, I unconsciously wanted to supplement SP.
Of course, in the end, this idea was vetoed by Concubine Zhang, and devouring human beings is still a bit of a complete subversion of her common sense, and it is unacceptable from the inside out.
As for the future, who can say for sure?
Putting aside her distractions, Concubine Zhang continued to move forward and became more cautious, because she knew that she was getting closer and closer to the human team, and in order not to be treated as a monster and then attacked, she still tried not to suddenly expose herself to humans.
"I'll go! This, what is this place? ”
Walking forward in a gradually expanding cave passage, Concubine Zhang found that there was a fire in front of her, and immediately carefully pressed against the wall, using the darkness to quietly touch it, and after seeing the scene in front of her clearly, she couldn't help but sigh.
In front of Concubine Zhang's eyes, there is a huge building that looks like a medieval palace.
There is a stone door in the front, which is about ten meters high, and the carvings on it are lifelike, but it will make people shudder, because they are all a thousand strange snakes intertwined, and finally form a huge snake head, a pair of scarlet snake eyes I don't know what is carved out, shocking.
"Gollum!"
Concubine Zhang's body trembled unconsciously, and instinctively told her that there must be a very terrifying existence in the hall, and with her current LV.4 strength, entering is to deliver food.
However, Concubine Zhang carefully checked the surrounding situation and found that the human footprints disappeared at the entrance of the palace, which means that this human team must have entered the palace.
This made Concubine Zhang fall into a tangle, and what was in front of her was the choice problem of "whether to enter or not to enter".
