He Comes From the Void

Chapter 38: The Taste of Life

"No." Kane immediately vetoed Kesha's request: "I can't contact humans yet, until I can control the skin armor to leave."

He wouldn't have allowed Kesha to come up if he knew he could see human settlements on the rock pillars.

"I'll just take a look, I won't affect their lives."

Keisha also knew that she would scare people. After the previous incident, she had given up hope of clarifying that she was not a monster. But it’s okay to look at it from a distance, right?

"There are many people in the settlement. If you can see them, they will be able to see you. Then people will attack you!"

"That's not necessarily the case, don't forget that I can be invisible." Kaisha disappeared and reappeared out of thin air, as if doing magic.

"What... what if it is exposed?" Worried about it, Kane actually forgot about it.

"I just ran out, they can't catch up with me." Keisha put one foot on a higher rock, showing the perfect thigh line.

"Oh...you can go if you like."

Kane couldn't hold back Kesha in the end, and he couldn't stop her if she was disobedient.

After the scar was healed, he forgot the pain, and he thought that he might as well just let her recognize the indifference of human society, and then she could learn to be good.

Keisha didn't care much about the helplessness in Kane's voice, she only heard an affirmative answer. She jumped up with joy and kissed Kane again, but this time Kane didn't feel much taste.

It's boring, the original good mood suddenly became very irritable.

"You can go, but you have to go underground." He reminded.

After saying this, Keisha came over and put her arm around him, urging him to hurry up, more than anything else.

Kane didn't know what he was in a hurry for, so he went underground, and it was already the second day when he reached the bottom of the settlement.

Taking advantage of the last bit of peripheral light on the earth before being swallowed up by the darkness, the two returned to the underground world through the patio.

Surprisingly, when the two went back underground, they found a monster they had never seen before waiting for them in the patio.

It looked like a living corpse that had been air-dried for many years in the desert, with a rickety figure, black and hard skin, wrinkled and lacking moisture. The limbs are so thin that only the bones are left, they are shrunk up in front of the chest like dead branches, and the five fingers are curved and sharp like eagle claws.

This is a person, but its face is far from human.

The dirty turban was slanted down, covering half of the face, and the uncovered half of the face half-covered a black eyeball.

The size of this eyeball doesn't quite match the eye socket, because it is a little smaller, causing the purple light in the skull to shine through, making the eye socket slightly bright.

Under the one-eyed eye, there is a big mouth full of needles and teeth, fully occupying most of the face, squeezing out the original position of the nose, and the corners of the mouth are cracked below the ears.

"Crack!"

It saw two people, staggered closer, let out a hungry growl at the same time, and some purple light escaped from his mouth.

Seeing this void creature, both of them looked unhappy.

Not that he is strong.

On the contrary, it can be weak, not much worse than the lowest level of Void Spirit. It belongs to the kind of cannon fodder creature that can be smashed to pieces with a plasma bomb by Kesha, or pierced through the heart by Kane with a finger.

Rather, it brought back bad memories for both of them.

Keisha recognized the escaped bird seller through the costume of the living corpse. He refused to listen to her warning, and in the end he could not escape the fate of becoming a monster.

And Kane was impressed by the appearance of human beings after being eroded for the first time. If he hadn't succeeded in symbiosis, maybe he would have become the ghost in front of him, right?

"How to deal with it?" Kane looked at Keisha, and he also recognized the identity of the living corpse.

He wanted to see what Kesha took it for. people? Or a monster?

Keisha answered him with action.

"May you find the source of infinity...and never be turned away."

She was chanting words, as if she was praying, as if she was praying for salvation. She raised her right hand, facing the staggering walking corpse with her palm, gathered energy and shot a light bullet towards its chest.

Undoubtedly, the living corpse was blown into a strange mass of flesh and blood, and the purple slurry splashed all over the ground.

Keisha felt that something in her heart was let go, she called Kane, and walked across the pool of flesh and blood without any suspicion.

...

The underground road conditions are much more complicated than those on the ground. Even though the distance on the ground is less than ten kilometers, it takes three days to pass underground.

None of the tunnels here can lead directly to the bottom of the destination. They have to change roads constantly, face choices in front of plausible forks, and stumble to find the right direction.

After living underground for a long time, both of them have developed an indescribable sense of direction, which can ensure that their general direction will not deviate, or realize that they have gone the wrong way and correct it immediately.

In addition, they often encounter the situation where the ethereal swarms block the way.

If the scale is small, the Slaughter Swarm will force its way through. If the scale is too large, you have to find another way.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, the two still came to the bottom of the human settlement and began to explore upwards to find the exit.

The comings and goings of void creatures will flatten and expand the tunnel, just like the developed attractions, it will also be changed by the coming and going of tourists.

So those treacherous and tricky narrow trails became the focus of exploration for the two of them. Like flies drilling eggs, they specially drilled into the rugged trails, looking for unknown places.

It took a few more days for them to figure out the general road conditions around here. Kane found many three-dimensional maps that were unknown to monsters, and they had already left a deep impression on his mind.

Although some roads are dead, the ends are already very close to the ground, and the vibrations from above can even be felt. But Keisha didn't break through them forcefully, she believed that she would be able to know the secret exit.

Another few days passed, and many passages were explored and ruled out as dead ends.

With only the last few trails left to be explored, Kane barely cheered up, but Keisha was still full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

And it was in these last few roads that they made new discoveries.

In the sloping narrow tunnel, according to the usual practice, Kesha climbed in front, while Kane followed closely.

"Kane, do you smell anything!" Suddenly she stopped, yelling excitedly.

Kane raised his head, three feet in front of Kesha's buttocks, he was embarrassed in the dark when he heard this, and then moved his nose itchingly to sniff.

Neither the smell of fear, nor the smell of magic, nor the smell of hydrogen sulfide!

Hehe, how could a beautiful girl fart?

What he smelled was barbecue, animal dung, and strong spices.

Those are the taste of life, the texture of the hustle and bustle of the world above the ground.

And the reason why this smell can waft here shows a fact - this passage leads to the human settlement above!
