Chapter 157: Yao's terrifying existence
Before Li Yuan's words were finished, a huge agitation sound sounded from the depths of the clouds and mist below the four of them. Countless steam bubbled up, immediately obscuring the sight of the four of them, and the conversation was forcibly stopped. "What's going on?" Lu Lie shouted as hard as he could in this scorching, crazy steam. Soon he stopped, for in the midst of the dark rolling clouds he saw something even more terrifying—
A huge light source slowly surged out of the dark abyss, and it also illuminated Lu Lie and the other four who were shrouded in steam.
Lu Lie subconsciously lowered his head, wanting to see what was under his feet.
He saw that in the middle of the light cluster, there was a chaotic, solidified semi-liquid object, which trembled slightly, and the slime that was slightly surrounding the outside quickly condensed into a mass, as if it had contracted into a dot. The crosshair was aimed at Lu Lie's location.
Lu Lie stared blankly at the semi-liquid in the middle of the huge light, and it wasn't until a long time later that he reacted and shouted, "That's an eyeball! Damn, that eyeball is looking at me! It's looking at me from below!"
Everyone gasped. Just one eyeball is already huge enough to be in such a place, how big is the monster below it?
Lu Lie's screams were quickly drowned out. The behemoth clinging to the bronze pillar let out a humanoid roar, and more, hotter mist crept up. In the mist, Lu Lie and the others felt that even breathing began to become difficult, and their exposed skin was red and hot, and even began to blister. Their already tattered clothes began to curl up as if they had been scorched.
If they went on like this, even if the beast didn't climb up from below, the four people above them would soon be burned alive by the hot mist!
"Kill it!" the cannibal's unruly nature was stimulated, and he would never be willing to be caught here, "that monster grows in such a way that it is against the sky! I suspect that its shell is not as hard as we imagined! Attack it! We may not be its opponents!"
The cannibal subconsciously reached for the meteor hammer on his waist, but he touched the void, and the cannibal tried to take the fire hammer on his back with his backhand, but when his hand went over the back of his neck, he grabbed it indiscriminately, and still did not catch anything.
All his weapons have been lost in the City of Lost Gods.
Now, on this bronze wall, the only ones who can still beat the cloud beast at this distance are Lu Lie and Li Yuan.
"We don't have much time left. This terrible heat fog we can withstand two more times at most. If we still haven't been able to kill that monster after two times, then we might as well kill ourselves...... After all, being scalded alive by hot water, even if it is death, this kind of death is definitely not something we are willing to choose. ”
The hot mist beneath his feet gradually subsided, as if the monster had gasped for a little. Taking advantage of this gap, Li Yuan said to Lu Lie.
"I know it without you saying it. Lu Lie snorted. He lowered his head, focused his gaze on the huge pupils that loomed in the mist, and began to chant words in his mind.
"Cursed Eye" - Any creature that makes eye contact with Lu Lie more than a snap of his fingers will be slowly petrified under Lu Lie's will. The longer the eye contact lasts, the faster the petrification will be.
After all, now Lu Lie's spiritual world only has the Great Black Bull awake, and it is the only one available. Although Lu Lie didn't know very well, the huge "Yao" under his feet was not a kind of living thing, and whether it could be affected by the "Cursed Eye".
What's more, looking at its size, if you want to completely petrify it, you have to consume how much physical strength you have to consume!
Let's just be a dead horse doctor.
Taking advantage of the interval between the giant beast below still spitting and breathing, he tried to petrify it. Lu Lie stared at the giant beast below, and asked Li Yuan beside him without looking back: "Li Yuan, you said earlier that the interior of the Lost God City is actually the incarnation of Yao, what does this mean?"
When he came out of that distorted space, Lu Lie had already begun to doubt the composition of the entire Mystery City. Bleeding and self-healing walls in twisted space, blood mist in the City of Lost Gods at intervals, and countless microbe-like residents of Yellow Springs...... However, when Li Yuan told all this, Lu Lie still couldn't believe it—Yao, incarnated into an entire city? Was this the purpose of leading the expeditionary force to climb the giant tree? So what was his ultimate goal? and why, and why did he do it?
Li Yuan said sincerely: "I don't know either. ”
Lu Lie was stunned for a moment, and almost ate his tongue.
Fortunately, there is also a sentence from work - "But after I returned to my soul, before leaving the Valley of Ten Thousand Corpses, the old scientist told me something about Yao......"
"Through hundreds of years of calculations, the old scientist has come to the conclusion that Yao wants to slowly transform himself into a state of almost half-human and half-god through an ancient ritual in the Giant Tree God Cult......"
"Half-human, half-god?" looked at the disc-sized pupils at his feet, and the cannibal sneered, "It's a shame then, it seems that he failed." ”
Yang Wei asked curiously, "Can't this ceremony be held under a tree?"
Li Yuan shook his head: "No." It must be held in a tree. On this giant tree, there are many laws and common sense that have been distorted, such as the dead can be resurrected, the space can be infinite, the living will inexplicably turn into trees, and delusions can exist in the form of a substance...... Then, this ritual must also be achieved with the help of the twist on the giant tree. ”
Lu Lie quietly looked at the light in the depths of the darkness under his feet: "So, what is Yao's true purpose? ”
"What he wants is ......" At this moment, there was a rare trace of confusion in Li Yuan's wise eyes, "According to the old scientist's speculation, if he climbs trees in this form." Then all the dangers that arose on the giant tree were of little significance to him. He was able to push all the way up to the top of the giant tree with ease. ”
Lu Lie, the cannibal owl and the others were dumbfounded! Indeed, if a terrifying huge body like Yao was allowed to face a series of dangers such as the zombie siege that Li Yuan and the others faced at the beginning, I am afraid that it would be able to wipe out a large number of zombies in a few breaths!
It's just that since the top of the giant tree is not the Yellow Spring World, what is it? Is it worth it to spend so much effort to climb it at the expense of transforming into this form?
