He Comes From the Void

"Earthquake? This is the first time I've seen it." Kaisha murmured as she emerged from nothingness, put away her helmet and looked at the source of the earthquake.

The Void Skin Armor has comprehensively strengthened her senses, and Kesha's sense of vibration is stronger than Kane's.

"I don't think it should be an earthquake..." Kane disagreed: "It stands to reason that such a strong shock should not only last for a moment, it feels like... like something fell."

"Just like we did at the beginning?" Keisha exclaimed, then calmed down, thinking of many possibilities.

"Will someone fall?"

"The void creatures should also feel it."

"It's better to go and have a look."

As she spoke, her purple eyes stared at Kane, her subtle expression full of layers of temptation.

For such emergencies, the choice lies with Kane, and Kaisha is not allowed to explore without his permission.

If something really collapsed, would humans appear like Kesha said?

This is what Kane is worried about. If the people who fall are human, they will not live for a day, but their few words before they die may directly destroy Keisha's innocence.

He originally wanted to slowly let her understand the cruelty and indifference of human society, but an unexpected incident disrupted his plan. Should he forcefully destroy this innocence now?

Kesha's eyes hurt him.

Forget it, if it's fate, then come on!

"Then go and have a look."

Kane took Keisha's hand, and she couldn't wait to pull him towards the source of the earthquake.

...

"Mea—"

Arriving at the center of the epicenter, before entering the cave, Kane heard a familiar cry of animals coming from inside.

"It's a goat!" Keisha said in surprise, and then quickened her pace.

Goats are animals that are only found on the ground. As Kane expected, things on the ground fell down.

They walked into the cave and found that a large part of the dome of the cave had collapsed, and dozens of sheep were buried in the ruins below, most of which had fallen to their deaths on the spot.

Keisha was eager to jump down the slope to reach the goat below, but Kane didn't let her go, and one hand grabbed her arm tightly.

"Don't worry, look at what that is!"

He pointed to the deep terrain behind the ruins, the purple abyss, where the energy of the void constantly ebbed and flowed, occasionally stirring up ugly shapes.

Keisha was stunned. Although the abyss in front of her was less than one tenth of the size of the previous one, the majestic death energy made its existence irrefutable.

Really the kind of abyss they saw a year ago.

It is extremely dangerous to approach the abyss, Keisha immediately stopped her impulse.

"How could it be such a coincidence that the place where it fell happened to be near the abyss?"

The situation in front of them puzzled Kesha. When they fell, there was no abyss around the ruins.

This may not be a coincidence...

"Kesa, will the sheep prepared by the village be taken to a specific place for sacrifice?" Kane felt that to figure out the relationship, even if he already knew who led these tragedies, it didn't mean that he would practice Reasoning is pointless.

Maybe he can figure out the sacrificial rules and intentions of those cultists?

Then he knew a little more about their common enemy.

"I don't know, but the goats that were prepared that night were no longer in the pen the next day. They must have been taken away by those strangers."

Watching the goat Kesha in the ruins recalls some folk customs that she didn't understand.

—hanging a bouquet of moon pearls on the stove, dancing under the new moon, praying to Nasus for the prosperity of the family and people, or leaving a few sheep outside the door to satisfy the appetites of wild beasts.

What made her terrified was that if she interpreted the customs that she didn't understand at the beginning, many terrible things would be revealed.

Could it be that those goats are here to satisfy the appetites of wild beasts in exchange for peace?

No, that's ringing the bells for void creatures to eat!

Those cults have never intended to sacrifice for peace, they have been luring void creatures to the surface!

This discovery made Kesha terrified, as if struck by lightning.

"We need to hurry up and tell people the truth! Let them stop listening to those cults. Everything they do is harming others and themselves!"

She looked up at the collapsed cave dome, as if trying to get back to the surface through there.

But Kane immediately poured cold water on her and forced her to calm down.

"Use your brain before you do something, okay, how do you tell the people on the ground? If it were you, would you believe in a person who looks like a monster? Or a monster like a person?"

"Don't forget how we were thrown down in the first place? Isn't it because we didn't prepare the sheep for sacrifice and didn't complete the mission of the cult, so we were thrown into the ground by magic. If those people openly resist the cult, they will end up with the same We were exactly the same back then.”

"Also, take a closer look. There is a dead end above the ruins. The ground split and then closed again. There is no way to go!"

Kane's denial trifecta knocked Kesha to pieces, her enthusiasm extinguished, and she now feels like a complete fool of herself a second ago.

"Then what do you say?" Keisha pouted aggrievedly, she racked her brains and couldn't think of any other way.

"What are you thinking about now? Look at the height of the dome, at least hundreds of thousands of meters high, which shows that the void creatures are still some distance away from the surface, and the sheep thrown from above are not enough to lure them up. As long as people are obedient , then they are safe for the time being.”

No living people were found in the ruins, and Keisha was prevented from contacting living people, Kane was relieved. But he didn't dare to relax too much, after all, it was a hurdle Kesha would have to face sooner or later.

"Then what about these goats..." The goats in the ruins were still struggling and screaming, and their screams touched Keisha's heart.

"Of course I ate it." Kane licked his lips, he had been craving these mutton for a long time.

one Year! Do you know how he got here this year?

Now that he is growing up, he naturally has a strong desire for meat. When he saw these goats waiting to be slaughtered, his long-silent stomach began to pound his heart. Wave after wave, the bell of the decisive battle rang.

"Ah? Goats are so cute, how can you eat them?"

Keisha didn't expect Kane to have such a devilish idea, this lonely and miserable underground world finally came to some docile living creatures, and he actually wanted to eat them!

Kane raised his eyebrows, "Don't tell me you haven't eaten mutton, you eat it every year and festival. I still remember you showing off in front of us with the roast leg of lamb, which was sprinkled with the meat your father brought back from outside. Spice, the children in the next door and I cried on the spot, and tears flowed from the corners of our mouths unconsciously."
