Chapter 318: Culture Clash, Corpse-Eating Vine
He was supposed to be strangled by the vines, but he was crushed by the scepter's pillar of light, and then he lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he was lying here, surrounded by countless corpses, blood pooling into a stream and flowing into an underground river.
Leon frowned and groaned, guessing, "It seems that it was the cultist's curse that triggered some kind of mechanism. β
Although he couldn't figure out why he had inexplicably traveled to the twenty-first century, he was mentally prepared for this strange thing, after all, on this planet, technological civilization has developed to a very advanced level, and it is normal for this situation to occur.
"Let's go back to the basic education institute first, there are still some surviving students there, maybe they can help me figure out the situation."
Leon opened the door, walked into the living room, looked around, and was surprised to find a lifelike and vivid puppet sculpture standing next to the sofa.
The puppet is a heroic woman in military uniform, with a resemblance to herself, wearing a steel helmet, a sword at her waist, her right leg straight, her left arm raised, and her right fist upward.
The woman's eyes shone with a sharp glow, as if they were about to break through the sky.
In her hand she holds a scepter of holy water in a quaint shape, with strange symbols carved on the surface, which seems to be some kind of mythological character.
"What is this?"
Li Ang was stunned, reached out and touched the Holy Water Scepter, and a large number of unfamiliar memory fragments appeared in his mind.
His soul fused with the grail fragments, gained critical information, and learned things that didn't belong to him.
In his previous memories of the Soul Shard, the Holy Grail and the Scepter of Holy Water had coexisted in some distant world.
After a certain upheaval, the Holy Grail was destroyed and reduced to fragments, but some of its fragments fell into the hands of a wizard in another world, and were protected by secret instruments to restore it to its form.
Due to some kind of secret connection between this world and the main world, Leon was sent into this world in the process of crossing through for a short time.
"Could it be...... Is this the true destination of the Holy Grail? β
Leon remembered the words of that evil and powerful enemy, and couldn't help but feel in a trance.
His parents, sisters, friends, and friends in the Overworld have probably long since been annihilated by the years, and his soul has passed away with the wind.
This kind of loneliness can only find solace in this mysterious "extradimensional space".
"Whew~Whew~"
The sudden cold wind blew, making Li Ang cold and creepy.
He turned his head to look and saw clouds rolling out the window, and thick fog was billowing up, obscuring the sky, as if the sky had fallen.
In the haze, several huge hideous heads were faintly revealed, as if they had poked out of the abyss of hell, with a thick evil aura, staring at Li Ang with a fierce gaze.
That's a couple of gigantic and terrifying ghoul vines!
The corpse vine is turquoise and covered with spikes, like sharp spear blades, wrapped around scarlet flesh, glowing a pale red glow in the dim light, which is particularly terrifying.
Their branches and vines dance wildly, as if they have minds, smashing and tearing buildings apart, devouring the living and life in them, the scene is purgatory, like the evil spirits of the underworld.
More vines crawled along the railroad tracks towards the city, crushing trucks and tearing apart residential buildings.
The cannibal vines are extremely tough, and even if they are blown open by explosives, they can still squirm slowly, continue to climb upwards, burrow into the roof, wrap around the glass windows, and pull people down and gnaw them away.
Li Ang was stunned for a long time, then suddenly woke up and quickly fled.
He had just reached the mouth of the alley when his ankle suddenly tightened.
Looking down, I saw that the vines were tangled together, wrapped around their ankles, and contracted vigorously.
"Grass, you uncle!"
Li Ang's face changed slightly, and he waved his hands, condensing a huge aura and slashing the vines fiercely.
At the same time as the vine broke, the broken vine suddenly swelled and exploded, turning into thousands of slender vines, whipping at him like a whip.
Li Ang couldn't dodge, was bound by the vines, and fainted instantly.
β¦β¦
I don't know how long it took, but Leon woke up and found himself in a bedroom, with a splitting headache, barely supporting his body and examining his limbs.
Except for a slight paleness in his skin, he was unscathed.
Li Ang breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about the problem again, "It seems that I am traveling through another world, and it is a parallel space similar to the main worldβthat cultist must have some magic weapon in his possession, otherwise it would be impossible to teleport me to a new dimension with the power of a simple curse." β
There are at least two reasons why Leon chose to travel through the Overworld, the first is that he left many clues in the Overworld, such as the Extraordinary Hunter game, as well as the magical items, martial arts, guns, movie props, and so on that disappeared from the Overworld.
Another reason is the mysterious scepter of holy water.
"I don't know which world it came from."
Leon sighed, picked up the wooden scepter, which was made up of hundreds of crystal clear beads in an oval shape, each bead seemed to contain a drop of holy water.
"The Holy Water Scepter contains such a mysterious ingredient as 'Holy Water'...... These things must have been snatched by the evil guy from somewhere else, which is why they were approved by the Holy Water Scepter. β
Li Ang thought silently, "No matter what, since these beads are items on my body, it shouldn't be a bad thing. β
With that, he tried to activate the psionic energy, infusing it into the scepter and activating the mysterious power within, but to no avail.
It's a dead thing, and there's no energy supply for it.
Li Ang shrugged his shoulders, changed his expression, and said with a smile: "Since it is holy water, it should be able to cure the plague, right?"
In other words, if the plague is really the effect of this scepter, then isn't this scepter a bit too exaggerated? It's a mobile hospital! β
He shook his head and put the scepter back on the table.
The scepter is a magical tool for an evil wizard, and he is not a wizard, so he can't handle it.
Leon stood up, strode out of the room, and walked down the narrow, cramped street toward the outside.
The street lights have been extinguished, darkness has enveloped the city, and the houses on both sides of the streets are dilapidated and blurred ruins, littered with littered garbage, and mutilated cars, filling the city with a smell of decay, absurdity, and desolation.
On the streets, corpses lay out in a row, disheveled and undecomposed corpses entangled and twisted with each other, as if they were the work of the same person.
The doors of the shops on both sides of the street were open, and the shelves inside were skewed to the ground, filled with all kinds of supplies, but all of them were reduced to ashes, and everything was destroyed, leaving only the wreckage scattered around the corners, proving that this was once a thriving place.
A gust of wind blew through the cracks in the broken windows, blowing off a dilapidated cabinet on the side of the street, and a pile of debris inside crackled and rolled down to the ground.
