Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1256 - 147: What Is Called History Now Was Once the Future (Part 1)
"Run!"
Despite dragging two along, Xu Shu’s speed instead reached an extreme, mermen’s bodies stained with his fresh blood served as targets for pursuit as Kua Fu Chasing the Sun accelerated like lightning.
Relying on memory, he darted towards the direction of the bronze gate, shooting out like a rocket.
Yet such speed didn’t bring Xu Shu any sense of safety.
No one understood more than him the strength and terror of this "Orochi."
This thing once surpassed Demigod, a fearsome existence comparable to the Fifth Realm!
Of course, when it launched its attack just now, the destructive power it demonstrated seemed to remain at the Fourth Realm, as though it had weakened immensely over countless years.
But Xu Shu was sure that even if their group attacked together, it wouldn’t be enough to even fill its teeth.
This was the absolute gap in realm and strength!
A flash of golden light in the Tai Chu scroll silently supplemented a passage of text:
[After a period of observation and contact, you finally find that the familiar black mist is transformed by an acquaintance of yours.]
[Indeed, it is him, Emperor Shitian, once one of the four Guardian Gods of the Gen Yuan Continent, alongside Orochi!]
[Oh, your situation is very grim, memories of those who died countless years ago are attacking you all — this is no joke.]
"???"
Xu Shu’s eyes narrowed.
"How could Orochi and Emperor Shitian be here?"
"Aren’t they the strong enemies that died in [Weihai Yewang]?"
"Clearly, there is a super-large relic named ’High Heaven’ which they should be in, right?" (Note: See Volume 2 Chapter 137)
"Why is it imprisoned in the Death God Church at the bottom of Death Report Ridge?"
"This is still a relic with an upper entry limit of Tier Three, damn it!"
In an instant, dense doubts completely enveloped Xu Shu, making it very hard for him to comprehend all this.
However, right now, Xu Shu had no time to consider these, escaping was the most urgent matter!
Eight snake shadows swam in the black mist, as the Pain Mask continued to laugh sharply in mid-air, shrouded by the black mist, seemingly waiting to devour someone.
Thump thump thump!
Boom boom boom!
Xu Shu emerged from the black mist’s encirclement and looked up, discovering that his other teammates were wildly racing ahead with all their means.
The moment they heard Xu Shu’s shout, they had already fled for their lives, even running ahead of Xu Shu.
Just now, the fallout from the snake head’s biting power had made everyone realize that the enemy here couldn’t be resisted, and the only path to survival might be to leave this eerie Underground Temple.
The first gate swiftly passed by, yet Xu Shu saw that the black mist behind hadn’t stopped within the third temple, but instead spread to the second temple.
This made everyone even more scared as if their souls were about to escape, every one giving their all, afraid of falling into a snake’s belly if they lagged.
As soon as they entered the second hall, those originally bizarre human-shaped fetish garments had weathered into gray, yet now these ashes began twisting, coalescing into black malformed small snakes.
Some had two heads and two tails, others tangled together into three-headed shapes, hissing and spitting snake tongues, spraying venom.
"...Are these Orochi’s offspring?"
"I remember it’s a male snake, how could it give birth to so many little snakes here?"
A doubt flashed in Xu Shu’s mind; faced with a blockade of snakes, he charged without hesitation, relying on his robust body to keep venom and toxins outside.
Some snakes lunged at Xu Shu, attempting to bite, ultimately getting crushed and smashed as Xu Shu charged through like a humanoid train.
The second temple was swiftly passed through, similar situations arose upon entering the first hall.
Those originally dormant human-shaped corpse pieces encased in pods now seemed to be called upon by ’Orochi’ and ’Emperor Shitian’, started swelling and coming to life.
They ran through the bronze gate from the first hall to the second hall, biting at the escaping crowd.
Fortunately, though extremely swift, they weren’t strong, being instantly shredded by the crowd, causing little impact.
Meanwhile, others used thunder talismans to pave their way, blasting small snake nests into scorched blackness; some moved along the ground, cleaving through swollen bodies with swords, unveiling methods of no less power.
Their short-distance burst speeds were even beyond Xu Shu’s, including Lu Bingwei and Gu Pan, among others.
But as they fled further, some were gradually overtaken by Xu Shu.
Others were caught by the great snake hiding in the black mist!
Xu Shu saw Huang Lili.
This seemingly very shy "Fallen Apostle," riding on a white mastiff dog she somehow summoned, continually whipped the mount’s rear with a whip, fleeing swiftly by herself. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
But a massive snakehead suddenly emerged from the black mist, not attacking Xu Shu behind them, but choosing to attack her first.
The blood-filled mouth descended, instantly biting into the mastiff’s hind legs she was riding on.
"I..."
Huang Lili saw Xu Shu behind her, eyes widening in bewilderment, she seemed about to say something, but before she could make a sound, she and her dog were hurled into the air, devoured in a single gulp.
Crunch, crunch.
Through the darkness came the sound of bones separating from flesh, the girl’s screams abruptly ceased.
Xu Shu saw Shen Chongyang.
This "Prison Director," swiftly traversing the eerie ground with shadow stealth, moved even faster than the supposed fastest "Butcher" Ning Xin.
