“What is that sound?” Ling Mo’s nerves were on edge as he thought, “Even if it’s using its hands and feet… but this one-two-three-four… it sounds like more than just four points of contact! Is it using its head too?” Moreover, he could clearly sense that it was crawling from the ground… The vibrations his Tentacles picked up indicated that its size and speed far exceeded that of the previous Monster.
Worse yet, “coming from the ground” implied another layer of meaning… It meant that once it appeared, they would likely come face to face with this Monster. This was not what Ling Mo had in mind; he was squatting here just to observe this suspected Progenitor Monster up close…
“No, the Monster might not have gone far, and there could be other Monsters around…” Seeing the urgency of the situation, Ling Mo only had time to pull Xu Shuhan behind him… This wasn’t just to protect her but also to give her a chance to escape with him if things went south.
He had to be prepared for the worst…
Just as Xu Shuhan showed a hint of surprise, the sound was already within ten meters of them.
It’s about to appear!
At this point, there was no time for her to do anything else… However, her reaction wasn’t too slow. After steadying herself, the first thing she did was reach for Ling Mo’s shoulder.
No matter what, be prepared!
But just as her fingertips touched Ling Mo, a hand suddenly reached out from behind her.
The hand was covered in blood and moved extremely fast. Before Xu Shuhan could react, it had already covered her mouth and nose.
“Mm!”
With the Monster in front and the thick black fog all around, Xu Shuhan’s Sensing Ability had already dropped to its lowest point.
So even though she was a Zombie, she was still caught off guard…
“Whoosh!”
Before she could resist, Xu Shuhan was pulled into the black fog.
At that moment, Ling Mo was also startled!
Although his attention was almost entirely on the rapidly approaching Monster, he had always been aware of Xu Shuhan’s position… But within less than a second of pulling her behind him, she was gone…
Ling Mo quickly turned his head, and at that moment, something dark lunged at him from the darkness…
“Whimper whimper!”
Just as Ling Mo was about to throw out his Tentacles in anger, the dark figure suddenly whimpered softly.
Ling Mo was taken aback, and the next second, his Arm was grabbed by a blood-stained hand and pulled into the darkness.
Almost simultaneously with Ling Mo being pulled away, the corpse that had been lying quietly suddenly twitched, followed by a crisp “crack” sound, and then a hair-raising chewing noise… ℟άＮổ𝖇ĚŚ
Seconds later, Ling Mo was dragged into a narrow space.
With a “clang” behind him, a Flame suddenly flared up.
Ling Mo squinted his eyes and turned around, just as a figure crashed into him.
Caught off guard, he was knocked backward. Feeling the pain in his back, he realized they were in a concrete passage less than two meters long… One end was blocked, and the other seemed to be sealed with an iron cover…
The figure that crashed into him was Xu Shuhan, the Female Zombie, who was trembling with fear, hiding in his arms.
Ling Mo couldn’t avoid her, partly because the space was too small and partly because Xu Shuhan moved too quickly… Being a Zombie and still getting scared like this, she was truly unique.
Ling Mo patted her back lightly and then looked up at the figure leaning against the iron cover…
It was a human shape, but covered in black mud… Apart from the vague human outline, it was hard to tell what it was…
“Yuwen Xuan!” Ling Mo said.
The figure paused and exclaimed, “How did you recognize me?”
He had been holding back, not speaking, probably to see the two of them get scared. But Ling Mo recognized him immediately. Before they could even speak, they had a brief standoff… Neither wanted to be the first to speak!
“Come on! Even a fool could tell!” Ling Mo wanted to punch him but found Xu Shuhan still clinging to his chest.
“Don’t get excited!” Yuwen Xuan quickly backed away, saying, “I was looking for you.”
“How did you manage to make yourself look like a wild man?” Ling Mo asked.
Despite his words, he still scrutinized Yuwen Xuan. The madman was covered in black mud, except for his clean hand. But whose blood was on it?
Seeing Ling Mo’s frown, Yuwen Xuan quickly said, “Don’t worry, just a scratch. I got it while messing with this iron cover. Also… with mud and water, Superpowers don’t work well… Stop staring at me! I’m shirtless… By the way, were you speechless because you were so moved to see me alive?”
“Ah!”
Ling Mo couldn’t take it anymore and kicked him. After Yuwen Xuan yelped in pain, Ling Mo asked, “How did you get here? What is this place? And what were you doing just now?”
With just him and Xu Shuhan, he wasn’t very confident, but with Yuwen Xuan’s Superpower, they had a better chance… But he appeared so mysteriously and forcibly took them away. If it weren’t for the whimpering sound that made Ling Mo pause and use psychic sensing to identify him as human, he might have already subdued him.
But Yuwen Xuan dared to do this because he knew Ling Mo’s reaction and observation skills.
On the other hand, Ling Mo was also curious about Yuwen Xuan’s experience… Most importantly, how did he lose his clothes? After encountering the Giant God Warrior, he somehow ended up here… But it also confirmed Ling Mo’s feeling that if Yuwen Xuan wasn’t on this path, he must be at the end of it…
The reasoning was simple-this place was suspicious. Yuwen Xuan wouldn’t ignore a suspicious place to take a “safe” passage. This approach was no different from Ling Mo’s. They both tacitly avoided mentioning it, using a casual tone instead.
Meanwhile, Xu Shuhan was slowly coming to her senses. She had been dragged here, partly out of fear and partly because she sensed Ling Mo’s scent nearby.
Now there was clearly another scent, and it left a bloody smell in her nose.
“That madman…” Xu Shuhan had heard their conversation, but she was still shaken. Hearing them argue and even fight, she was stunned again.
Aren’t they happy to find each other? Their tone is much lighter…
“Wait! Now’s not the time for this… mask, mask…” The black fog was thick earlier, and she was sure they saw nothing, but in this small space, turning around would expose her. More embarrassingly, she was still clinging to Ling Mo, one hand groping… This madman’s younger cousin was Li Yalin!
“Finished…” Xu Shuhan thought.
“Um, I… just a moment! We’ll talk later!”
Unexpectedly, Yuwen Xuan suddenly pressed against the iron cover, looking tense.
A Flame still flickered in his hand, but with his face covered in black mud, Ling Mo couldn’t read his expression.
“What’s wrong?” Ling Mo couldn’t help but ask.
Xu Shuhan quickly took the chance to put on her mask.
Yuwen Xuan whispered mysteriously, “It’s almost time. By the way, you were squatting there, so you must know what this place is, right?”
“I was just asking you!” Ling Mo wanted to kick him again.
