1 He Walked to the Abyss Chapter 161 Sorrow
The moment the flame ignited, the wings of the demon dragon also stirred violently, and the sky-high flames smoked the flytrap above it to close its jaws, and it did not open again until the flames were far away.
Sure enough, as one of the very few plants with sensory nerves, the Venus flytrap is still afraid of fire. ”
Standing firmly on the dragon's back, Chen Ming also quietly breathed a sigh of relief, although he said so, but he also beat a drum in his own heart, because he was not sure if the life here would be the same as those plants in the world.
"Luckily, I was right. ”
Having just escaped from a series of crises, even Chen Ming was a little physically and mentally exhausted, so he discarded the only half of the flytrap tusks left in his hand at will, and then lay there upright, motionless, "I'll rest for a while." ”
"Where do we go next?"
Drex asked tiredly.
"Whatever. ”
Chen Ming closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "There are surprises everywhere here, isn't it the same everywhere?"
The dragon nodded, and floated slowly forward.
Fortunately, they did not encounter any more dangers, and it was not until dawn that the night was spent without danger.
As soon as the sky was bright, Chen Ming opened his eyes, due to the speed of life and death in the middle of the night, he didn't have a good rest, his tired eyes swept around, "Where have we been?"
"I don't know. ”
At this time, Drex's eyes also opened and said, "I picked a random direction, and I'm not familiar with this place. ”
"Let's find a safe place to eat first. ”
Chen Ming narrowed his eyes, pointed to a cave in the hill ahead and said, "That's it." ”
"Hmm. ”
The dragon flapped its wings and flew towards the hill, which was not far away, but in five minutes, they landed on the top of the mountain, and after throwing a green ghost corpse into Drake's mouth, Chenming took the sleepy-eyed Snow Lei to the cave.
The cave is not big but very deep, and the dark depths give people an extremely unsettling feeling, but the tired Chen Ming can't take care of so much at this time, this kind of clean place is very difficult to encounter on the other side.
After setting up a bonfire on the periphery and taking out some more jerky and handing it to Xue Lei, Chen Ming closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep again.
"Tatsunato ......"
I don't know how long it took, Chen Ming was woken up by Xue Lei, he rubbed his sour eyes with some confusion, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Did you hear ......?"
Xue Lei looked a little scared, she pointed to the depths of the cave behind her, and said tremblingly, "There's something crying there......
"Crying?"
Chen Ming frowned, glanced at the darkness, and said, "I didn't hear anything, is it your delusion?"
"It's true!"
Xue Lei was visibly frightened, and said, "I really heard it just now!
In desperation, Chen Ming had no choice but to stand up and say, "In this way, you go to find Drax first, and I'll go in and have a look." ”
"Wouldn't that be too dangerous?"
Xue Lei worried, "Why don't we get out of here?"
"It's rare to come across such a nice place to rest. ”
Chen Ming smiled, "Don't worry, I'll just go in and see the situation, and it'll be fine." ”
"This ......"
Xue Lei hesitated for a moment, but when she saw Chen Ming's determined eyes, she nodded and said, "Okay, then you be careful." ”
"Don't worry, I will. ”
Waving his hand casually, Chen Ming didn't stop and walked directly towards the depths of the cave.
Groping his way along the rugged cave wall, Chen Ming walked very slowly, in the abyss, all the strange things were not strange, although he was cautious and cautious, although he didn't hear the sorrow from Xue Lei's mouth, but he still didn't dare to take it lightly.
After walking for a long time, Chen Ming stopped, scratched his head helplessly, and said to himself, "What's the matter?" I said that Xue Lei misheard, and she still ......."
"Woo woo woo ......"
Before Chen Ming finished speaking, a strange voice came from the depths of the cave, just as Xue Lei said, a hollow scream.
"Isn't it?!"
Startled by this sudden voice, Chen Ming felt a retreat in his heart, "The ghost knows what's inside, so don't go in." ”
However, his steps did not go back, and a strong curiosity filled his chest.
"Sooner or later, you'll be killed by these curiosities!"
Secretly scolding, Chen Ming took a step and slowly walked towards the depths of the cave where the mournful sound came from.
The cave was very deep, and Chenming's speed was extremely slow, and it took him half an hour to walk before he stopped.
At this time, there was no light in the cave at all, but with Chen Ming's eyesight, this could not be hindered, and the deepest part of the cave was far larger than Chen Ming imagined, and it was an extremely wide space.
"It seems that these corpses are the ones who are screaming. ”
Chen Ming glanced around and found that there was nothing in the cave, only all kinds of strange dead corpses on the ground, human shapes, and wild beasts on the wall.
Although the state of death varied, the corpses also had something in common, that is, their corpses were extremely shriveled, but they did not fester, as if they had been drained of water in an instant.
The air currents blew through their facial features, giving back a sound similar to a mournful roar. ”
Although he was curious about the cause of their deaths, past experience told him that leaving here was the best choice.
It's just that the moment he turned around, a touch of red flashed in the corner of his eye, which made him stop again.
"That's ......"
Chen Ming squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the corpse hanging on the wall, the corpse was no different from the others, because of the loss of water, its facial features also collapsed, but Chen Ming's attention was not here, but on the deep sunken left eye, revealing half of the ruby with a faint glow.
He stepped forward, and the strangeness in his eyes was even worse, "According to the description of the old man in the Goblin Village, the color of the Demon Suppression Stone is also like blood, crystal clear, and its surface is flat, which can refract light......"
"Is this the ......?"
He was pleasantly surprised and stretched out his hand, wanting to dig it out, but the moment his finger touched the "Demon Suppression Stone", his face instantly turned pale.
"Ahh
A terrible scream erupted from Chenming's mouth, and his entire arm was as shriveled as the corpses.
After quickly withdrawing his fingers, Chen Ming looked at the gem that was faintly starting to glow red in horror, and the next moment, a trace of horror came out of his eyes, "What the hell is this!"
Around him, the shriveled skin of the corpse suddenly bulged, and gems burst out of it, and behind the gems were bloated white soft bodies, wriggling like maggots.
In a short period of time, the entire cave was covered with this kind of maggots, and the rubies were shining brightly, surrounded by the morning song.
"Damn!"
Without bothering to check his arm, Chen Ming hurriedly turned around and rushed towards the outside of the cave, and those ruby maggots also followed extremely quickly, almost in an instant, chasing after Chen Ming like a surge.
Even if he let go of his hands and feet, Chenming's running speed was still only comparable to that of maggots, and when he arrived at the entrance of the cave, the swarm of insects also arrived as scheduled.
Outside the cave, Xue Lei and Drake, who were worried about him, were even more terrifying.
"Why are you stunned, don't you run!"
Chenming's hysterical voice instantly woke up Drake, he instigated his wings and rushed directly into the sky, Chenming threw out the rope, which happened to be put on his tail, and landed on the dragon's back.
"Your arm!"
Xue Lei noticed that one of Chen Ming's arms had become dry and hung weakly to the side like an old tree root, and she was about to go up to check, but was scolded by Chen Ming, "Don't touch me!"
The girl, who was already restless, was startled by his hideous angry shout, and almost fell off the dragon's back, but fortunately she was hooked by the tail of the demon dragon, so it was okay.
"Chenming, what the hell happened?"
Drex also noticed Chenming's strange appearance and asked, "What are those strange insects?!"
Chen Ming didn't speak, his eyes were gloomy and he took out the black claw and slashed it on that arm, no blood flowed out, only the swollen ruby maggots, trying to snatch out his arm.
However, before he could move, Chen Ming's lightning knife pierced directly into the maggot's body, only to hear a loud sound, a large amount of blood flowed out of its wound, and the maggot shriveled up at a rapid speed, and finally turned into ashes.
After doing this, Chen Ming slowly breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and said, "This time I made a mistake and lost an arm, so I should buy a lesson." ”
He told him everything about the situation in the cave, and the danger made Dedrax tremble slightly.
"It's all my fault......"
The goblin girl, who was originally startled by Chenming, suddenly howled and cried at this moment, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be ......"
"I'm fine, this little pain is nothing to me. ”
Chen Ming smiled and comforted, "Actually, I blame myself, if it weren't for my curiosity, this wouldn't have happened." ”
"How can you act so indifferent!"
Xue Lei was still crying, "This is your arm......"
"I've endured all the greater pains, and this little thing is just a daily routine for me. ”
Chen Ming said flatly, "For me, as long as I leave this life, it is the greatest gift to me." ”
At this moment, Xue Lei's cry suddenly became smaller, even the demon dragon slowed down the speed of flight, although the young man's voice was flat, but the sourness behind it, Xue Lei was not clear, and Drake, who had known him for three years, was not clear.
But after thinking about it carefully, I realized that what the young man said was not a lie.
"Compared to him, I'm afraid my appeal is just not as good as what if......"
......
As their journey got farther and farther away, the darkness came faster and faster, and on the back of the demon dragon, the young man with a bandage on his left hand lay there weakly, saying, "The next road may be more dangerous, we need to be more cautious." ”
Losing an arm, Chen Ming's heart became more and more calm, for those novel things, no longer have so many curiosity, along the way, like the favor of the god of luck, they can always save the day at a critical time, but this tragic experience told him that the god of luck did not give them a gift.
The abyss was a place of despair and suffocation, and he had only read about it in books in the past, but now he had felt it firsthand.
Beside him, Xue Lei, who was also exhausted, lay curled up, and her face flushed with sickness showed that she was also in an extremely bad state.
"There is a week left at most. ”
"In a week's time, if we still can't get to the center, Xuelei, you, and I will all be in danger of death. ”
"Maybe less than a week. ”
In Chen Ming's heart, it seemed that he had completely lost confidence in this trip to the abyss, and he was no longer so high-spirited, "Maybe they who came here were left here because they lost their confidence, right?"
Smirking self-deprecatingly, he sat up, stretched, and said, "Speed up." ”
"It's late at night, and it's dangerous to speed up. ”
Despite all that, the dragon's wings stirred up a little faster, for he knew that danger would always be with them, whether they were speeding up or not.
Like meteors catching the moon, they no longer feared as if they had abandoned all life and death and swept towards the far center.
Countless dangers make them unavoidable, on the verge of death at any time, and escape under the threat of death.
In the battle with the giant beast, one of the dragon's wings was torn to pieces, and the scales on his body became pitted, and there was no good meat to be seen on his body.
And Chen Ming's body is covered with scaly wounds, on his face, a hideous scar runs through the bridge of his nose, and even the bridge of his nose has collapsed, and a large piece of flesh has been stripped off from his thigh, and the bones are visible.
And Xue Lei, who was the most intact on the surface, began to have dark green marks on the skin on her body, and her originally neat nails turned black and began to grow rapidly.
"Are you going to start changing......
In a dark cave, Chen Ming frowned, looking at the girl's little face that was a little distorted because of the pain, and a trace of murderous intent sprouted in his heart.
Four days had passed since they escaped from the Cave of Sorrow, and they had gradually advanced to the center of the abyss, but they had also been left with countless dangers and exhausted bodies and minds.
Spit out a faint bloody saliva in his mouth, he finally gave up this plan, "Even if you change, you are only the weakest green ghost, what impact can you have on me?"
He walked out of the cave and asked the dragon, "Drake, how long do we have to get to the Morpheus Mountains?"
"If I run as hard as I can, I should be there tomorrow evening. ”
One of the dragon's horns had also been severed, and what was even more terrifying was that the giant beast's scratches came down from the top of his head, scratching his entire eye.
"Tomorrow evening?"
Chen Ming thought in his heart, and then said, "Rest for one night today, and then set off tomorrow morning, it is too dangerous to enter at night, it is best to stay at dawn the day after tomorrow!"
"You can too. ”
The long-term high-pressure battle has made the temperament of the two very cold, and on the other side of this dangerous apocalypse, they with wisdom now look more vicious than the giant beasts.
Back in the cave, Chen Ming sat casually next to the fire, stretched out his only remaining hand, and put it in front of the fire to keep warm, his eyes were deep, "Wake up, get up." ”
Next to him, Xue Lei opened her tired eyes, although it was extremely painful, she still barely kept smiling, "I look ugly now, don't I look ugly?"
Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "No, you have always been beautiful. ”
"Don't lie to me. ”
Laboriously moving to Chenming's side, Xue Lei leaned against his lap and stared blankly at the dancing flames, "I really want to see the starry sky outside......"
"Trust me, you'll see. ”
Chen Ming's eyes wandered, and his right hand gently stroked the girl's cheek, "You will also see a lot of brilliant magic, and see a city that you have never seen before." ”
"Hee-hee-hee......"
Xue Lei's eyes began to dim, as if she was imagining the scenery that the boy said, "It's so good......
"yes, that's nice......"
He smiled too, but the tears in the corners of his eyes flowed unconsciously, and there was a burst of soreness through the wound across the bridge of his nose.
And beside his lap, lying was no longer the petite, beautiful goblin girl, but an ugly monster with sharp black claws and dark green skin.
I don't know when it started, Chen Ming had an extra pitch-black dagger in his hand, and the end of the dagger was stuck straight into the monster's neck, gurgling with blood.
"I'm sorry ......"
The boy cried quietly, and at this moment, he buried his companion with his own hands, and the infinite pain made it difficult for him to breathe as if he had tore through his chest.
After a long time, he left the cave, holding the monster's corpse in his arms, numbly jumped onto the dragon's back, threw the body into the dragon's mouth, and said, "Let's go." ”
In the endless darkness of the night, the dragon carrying the boy on his back ran quickly forward, and the high purity energy of the monster brought him unparalleled speed, making him even more fierce in the dark.
His limbs turned into terrible killing weapons, tearing apart the behemoths that stood in his way, and his only remaining wings turned into the sharpest butcher knives, plundering huge heads one after another.
And on his back, the young man standing there without moving looked at all this indifferently, and his body covered with scars trembled slightly, not afraid, but excited.
As if they were all venting their anger in their hearts, even those giant beasts who did not dare to approach them out of instinct were brutally tortured and killed by them, regardless of the increasing injuries on their bodies.
It wasn't until dawn that the dragon and the boy finally stopped, and behind them, there were already terrifying giant beast corpses, and in front of them was the final destination of this trip, the Morpheus Mountains.
Looking at the endless huge mountains, Chen Ming smiled and muttered to himself, "Elder Goblin, I have completed your request. ”
