Chapter 570: The God in the Labyrinth—Aehot
Neither Sasuke nor Sakura could tell if the sound was coming from the dim air or if it was an auditory hallucinations from the frightened brain.
But both of them could hear definite syllables and tones from the rough voice, and could even read the meaning.
"My name... Eyholt. ”
"You are the one who is lost in the labyrinth, and I can provide you with a choice..."
Although it is unknown how these sounds are transmitted to the brain and converted into information, the countless eyes of the fleshy egg creature in front of him flashed like a viscous stream.
These "streams" cascade down the surface of the body that seems to be gel flowing or rippling, giving people an indescribable sense of fear.
Sasuke's body slowly retreated in a slight tremble, and with each step back, the small spherical creatures under the flesh-egg creatures approached the same distance with a "squirming" stride.
It wasn't until Sakura, on Sasuke's back, was the first to be pushed against the solid stone wall, and both of them could no longer retreat.
"Thou wait... There's Gracchi..."
"Servants of Gracchi, those things that fear the sun, can only inhabit the wretched things in the darkness."
"But that doesn't stop you from accepting my contract and becoming me, the heir of Eyhot."
"Sa... Take your pick..."
This time, the voice in my brain was filled with many more words.
This also makes Sasuke and Sakura see something terrifying and incomprehensible.
That is, whenever these words appeared, the form of the huge oval flesh-egg creature in front of it would shake up and down, like a Q-bomb meatball doing elastic motion.
Don't...
A terrible fact came to the minds of the two.
This terrible thing in front of you is the very being who speaks these human languages!
[Get 1900 Trembling Points from Sasuke Uchiha!] 】
[Get 2300 Shiver Points from Sakura Haruno!] 】
At this moment, Sasuke and Sakura Haruno were afraid that the top of the statue in front of them could almost touch the behemoth of the grotto dome.
If it's just a simple monster, it's not that scary.
What's even more terrifying is that this monster can make a voice and has intelligence!
Sasuke and Sakura didn't know how the monster named Aeholt made sounds, or how he knew human language, so they could talk to him as if it were an ancient sapient being.
"W-What choice?"
Sasuke asked in as calm a tone as he could, but the slight influency in the language still exposed the nervousness in Sasuke's heart.
"The choice to be my heir..."
The eggs shook up and down, and the words rolled in.
"Thou shalt choose to accept my covenant and become my heir."
"Sign a contract to point you in the right direction and get you out of this labyrinth."
"Otherwise, you will not be able to bear my wrath..."
"Signed... Pact..."
"Otherwise... Killed..."
The rumbling words passed into Sasuke and Sakura's brains, and although Ichot's hazy words had a strange tone, Sasuke and Sakura understood what he meant.
This Ichult has a terrifying and terrifying form, but Ichot is not like the giant slug monster he just encountered in the lake, he has intelligence.
Or they are all ancient wisdom, but Gracchi disdains to have mental communication with beings other than his own slaves...
However, the fact that he is wise and willing to talk to people does not mean that he has good intentions towards human beings.
Now there are only two paths in front of Sasuke and Sakura.
One is to accept the contract proposed by Ichult, become Ichult's heir, and get the direction to leave the labyrinth, as for the final outcome of this choice, Ichult did not say.
The second is to reject Ichult's contract, and then be ... Kill...
Ignoring the consequences of rejecting the contract, it is tempting to simply accept the contract and get directions out of the labyrinth.
Sasuke and Sakura had already discovered when they were looking for a way out of the underground tunnel, and there was no upward slope here, it was completely a plane.
Coupled with the intricacies of the tunnel itself, it means that if there is any exit here, it must only be located at a certain point in the labyrinth, and it is difficult to tell where this point is through common sense.
Moreover, this labyrinth is located underneath the Wet Bone Forest, and if you forcibly break the stone wall overhead, the collapsed earth will directly bury the people below, and there will be no way out.
The two of them also don't master any spatial ninjutsu that can go out directly.
So this underground labyrinth really trapped Sasuke and Sakura.
In this case, Sakura thought for a few seconds and immediately blurted out, "I agree!" ”
"I agree to sign the contract!"
Sakura, who was on her back, suddenly shouted, causing Sasuke to look back at Sakura in surprise.
And Sakura just said with a poignant smile: "Anyway, I can't do it anymore, and before I die, it seems good to let Sasuke-kun go out..."
"Stupid!"
"I disagree!"
Sasuke roared, but the rumbling sound of Echo had already reached both Sasuke and Sakura's brains.
"The contract is established..."
As Ichot's voice fell, the ball-like creatures that almost covered the ground immediately squirmed closer to Sasuke and Sakura.
Sasuke didn't know what was going to happen next, but he instinctively drove away the approaching balls.
These creatures are very easy to kill, with each of Sasuke's kicks capable of kicking at least two of them, and some of the ball-like creatures can be directly kicked in half by Sasuke, and green juice spurts out of the shattered body.
Sasuke grabbed Sakura's arm with one hand to help Sakura, who was unable to collapse, from falling off his back, so he could only use his other hand to slap the approaching spherical creature with one hand.
Looking at Sasuke's resolute expression as he clenched his teeth, a smile appeared on Sakura's face.
To see Sasuke-kun working so hard for me, even if he dies, it's worth it...
Sasuke didn't know what Sakura was thinking, and kept fighting off one bulb creature after another that pounced on her.
But there were so many of them that they climbed to the top of the grotto and fell from it.
One of the balls landed on the back of Sakura's neck, and before Sakura could react and scream, the creature was already biting the skin on Sakura's neck with its mouthparts located at the front of the ball.
In just a second, the ball creature pulled out the mouthparts that had bitten Sakura, and quickly jumped away from Sakura's body, escaping Sasuke's attack range.
At the same time, the other orbular creatures stopped attacking, and their bodies froze in place.
Sasuke and Sakura's brains were filled with Ahotna's rumbling business again.
"The contract is complete..."
"Show you the way out of the labyrinth..."
"There..."
