Chapter 48: The Rotten Heart (2)
The interior of the villa was dimly lit, and the cold wind was mixed with the smell of silt, and when it blew through the empty hall, patches of dark shadows drifted along the air current. On both sides of the hall there were stairs going upstairs, curving and spiraling down, and the floors were rotted into a mushy shape, which looked like they could be stepped on with a single foot.
"There is no hint of the location of the Rotten Heart...... But it's definitely in this building. ”
Ivan raised his right index finger, lit a golden flame with his fingertips, and slowly walked through the wet living room. When approaching the locker room next to the stairs, he found that the door panel of the room was broken on the ground, and he immediately raised his vigilance, and dispersed the flames and sneaked into the room.
The interior of the space is narrow, the walls are rough like a cave, the floor is also rugged, and there are rotten and moldy clothes around it. Walking to the end of the locker room, I found a downward staircase in front of me, but the entrance was entangled in a dense iron lock.
Woo——!
A small sound came.
What kind of sound is this, like a cry, like there is nothing.
Ivan pricked up his ears and listened, the sound was subtle and staccato, like a faint sob, like the wounded whimper of a beast. He crept closer, feeling as if it were coming from underground.
“......”
He locked on the sealed door under the steps with his gaze, his expression remained unchanged, and when he raised his hand, it was a ray of sun, and he directly slammed the door through.
Through the thick smoke, he clearly saw a naked, dirty figure lying on his stomach, and it was more appropriate to say that he was prone than half-kneeling - this man struggled to stand up with all his might, but he was forced to the ground by a force, and his mouth was still swallowing the mud in a big gulp.
"Woo...... Woowoo woo ......"
"He" clasped the ground with his hands frantically, scooped up the foul mud and stuffed it into his mouth, almost frantically devouring the filth. The whole body is constantly expanding and deforming like an inflated body, the face is distorted like a clay figure that is slapped, and a pair of blood-red eyes look at Evan, there are begging, helpless, and crazy!
"Qualified?"
Ivan carefully observed the figure of the other party and found that he also had a circle of light on his head, and the numbers on it were no longer clear in the process of expanding and deforming in the devouring silt.
Whoosh——!
The golden flame of light condensed from the palm of his hand, shrunk into a flickering and dazzling ball of light, and turned into a straight ray that pierced out, directly hitting the humanoid monster on the opposite side with a single blow and headshot.
"You have successfully killed Player 54410 and gained a basic mental power boost. ”
With the mechanical neutral prompt sound, Ivan felt his head heat slightly, and his mental strength increased almost negligibly.
"This guy came a little bit before me...... There's a trap here!?"
Aware of the danger, he was about to evacuate immediately, when suddenly the cold air currents in the space poured out wildly, and countless plants that looked like seaweed but had a tough texture swept in with the wind, looking like a column of black smoke from a distance.
Whoosh——!
Ivan looked at him, and the stone slab on the ground where he stood shook and sunk, and golden flames ignited from under his feet, covering him in an instant. At the same time, the waist and hips sank, the legs were spread apart, the left hand was pulled back to the shoulder blade, and the palm of the five fingers was open and ignited a raging fire, dazzling like a torch.
Boom ——!
The flames erupted with the clapping palms, forming a condensed golden pillar of fire, and after a short confrontation, the 'black smoke' that erupted directly pushed back - the plants that resembled seaweed were also burned into ashes in the process.
Phew——!
The golden flames drove straight in, as if it were the devastating breath of a fire dragon, and with a scorching and rushing airflow, it burned the space behind the door clean.
"No rotten heart, it seems like this is just a pure trap. ”
After Ivan burned the threat in front of him with one palm, he maintained the golden flame of the protective body, bent his legs and flicked upward, and the whole person soared into the sky like a rocket.
Bang bang——!
His figure was bathed in flames and went straight up, shattering two floors of the ceiling and landing on the windowsill of the top floor.
Under the violent destruction of Evan, the already dilapidated building was instantly hollowed out of the "internal organs", and the rotten wood mixed with furniture poured to the ground like a torrential rain, and soon "clanked" and piled up a thick layer.
“......”
Ivan narrowed his eyes vigilantly, scrutinizing everything in the space. In addition to the light emitted from his body, the cloudy light shone in through the windowsill, so cold that there was no trace of temperature, and the shadows in the woods not far away, the outline was unclear, as if wrapped in a pair of huge hands, and the surroundings seemed very cold.
At this moment, the corner of his eye swept to the reflection of the house, and at this moment, on the pointed vault of the roof, a round black shadow flicked slightly as if it were alive.
It's hiding here!
Ivan felt a movement in his heart, and the whole moment turned into a pillar of fire and broke through the air, and the golden flame flashed away, and it pierced the villa from the inside out, and landed on the rotten and dilapidated pointed arched roof.
Halfway up the slope behind, algae-shaped plants intertwine into a 'bird's nest', and in the center of the nest beats a rotten wooden heart, which is also marked with the character "rotten heart" in federal script.
"Found it!"
Ivan stood still, his spiritual power radiated out into mental power, and directly wrapped his rotten heart and sucked it into his hand.
Rumble——!
At this moment, the whole villa suddenly shook violently, the walls rolled like waves, and the sealed windows on it bounced open one by one, revealing red light from the inside out, and let out an angry roar from the main entrance.
Bang bang bang——!
With a series of explosions, the entire building actually rose from the ground, countless pieces of wood under the foundation formed a dense arthrop, and the walls on the left and right sides cracked and shattered into two arms, slamming into the roof.
"This house has come to life!?"
Ivan rolled backwards and leaped to the ground, easily avoiding the 'slap' of the house, and when he landed, the angry villa just turned around - the blinding red windows, the roaring doors, and the folded and tumbling walls just formed an extremely hideous face.
Seeing this scene, he didn't bother to entangle with the other party, so he ran directly, and his figure flexibly crossed a large lawn and came to a deserted and dilapidated shopping street.
The streets are lined with small shops that have fallen into disrepair, and many of the other places are one- or two-story storefronts, except for the high-rise buildings in the center. At the interval of each building, there is a path, and countless forks lead in all directions, crisscrossing like a labyrinth.
“......”
Ivan stepped into the confines of the shopping street, then turned to look at the angry villa, and found that the guy was still chasing after him, although he was bulky like a snail.
