The Death Knell

The fierce cold wind tore at every inch of the skin of the two of them, and this chill could always penetrate into people's hearts through unknown gaps.

"Where are we now?" Dr. Holloway pulled his cloak around his body and made a hissing sound from his mouth. He clearly felt that the cold wind was quickly taking away the temperature in his body.

Su Ming was the same, the heat preservation of the holy statue armor was never very good, but his body was stronger and he could carry it better than Holloway.

"If it's correct, it should be Nepal, the southern foothills of the Himalayas."

Su Ming raised his head and looked around. He was surrounded by snow-covered peaks. Not even a building could be seen. The towering snow-capped mountains surrounded them from all directions.

"There is nothing here. That little mage may have lied to us."

Dr. Holloway wrapped his cloak tightly and folded his arms across his chest. As a doctor, he knew clearly what rapid hypothermia meant. Now he had to ensure that the core area of ​​the body did not lose temperature.

"No, he won't. I'm an acquaintance of Gu Yi, so he won't do such an unwise behavior."

Su Ming buckled on his helmet to block out some wind and snow. The snowflakes mixed with small ice particles rustled against the mask, making a flowing sound.

Casillas is still studying with Ancient One, and he seems to be very confident that Ancient One can defeat his opponent, so naturally he will not do anything to Ancient One's friends. On the contrary, he will try his best to help them so that they can win in front of Ancient One. Be clever and be good.

He knew that the New York Temple was safe, so he stayed with an excuse to show that he was fulfilling his duties. But for Su Ming, this smallness was seen through immediately.

"But there's nothing around us."

"That's because we don't need to look for it." Su Ming tilted his head and pointed to Holloway to look behind him, where the magic floating cloak was fluttering.

The wind and snow didn't seem to affect its floating. One corner of it tightly grasped Su Ming's gem, and the other corner lifted up to pat the snowflakes on its body.

"Cloak, take us to Kama Taj."

Su Ming explained to the cloak, so in the snow and wind, the cloak picked up the two of them and flew again for a long time.

After passing through an invisible barrier, the two stood in front of a huge temple complex on the top of the mountain.

The temperature is so high here that the frost on Holloway's beard is melting and dripping with water.

But both of their eyes were focused on the scene in front of them.

It was originally a paradise, with majestic buildings with carved beams and paintings, but now it is a dilapidated scene. You can see that it should have been a place where birds were singing, flowers were fragrant, and warm as spring, but now the plants and animals have turned black and fallen to the ground.

A huge gray beam of light shot straight into the sky from the depths of the temple.

"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Su Ming immediately suspected that it was negative energy or poisonous gas. If he had no problem, he would just look to Holloway.

"Fortunately, although the hands and feet are frozen, they will recover soon." The doctor moved his palms. The numbness on the fingertips was caused by the low temperature. Now they just feel burning.

"That's good, let's go in."

Su Ming once again pulled out the Night Sword, which was his most powerful weapon now. No matter what was holding Gu Yi back, it meant that Su Ming needed to go all out.

Withered black plants and animals lay dead on both sides of the road, as if they had been thrown into a fire and burned, but there were no signs of fire here, only corpses.

Human corpse.

These corpses have also become charred, and their identities cannot be distinguished, but they are most likely the apprentices of Kama Taj.

The light beam in the distance gave off a very uncomfortable feeling. It was like a gray lighthouse burning in the sky.

The two people walked forward quickly. Suddenly, from the corner of the ruins, a black monster jumped out from behind the ruins and landed in front of the two people with a loud noise.

This ghost thing is four meters tall and weighs probably several tons. Under the shiny black skin all over its body are large and powerful muscles.

It has four legs and four strong arms, and its face looks a bit like a buck-toothed orangutan, but its bloodshot eyes exude a fierce light.

Four fists as big as basketballs hit the spot where the two were standing with a loud sound. The ground collapsed instantly, and the rocky pavement below instantly turned into powder.

Su Ming pulled Holloway and rolled to avoid the attack. The gravel splashed on the armor and made a crackling sound.

This guy's power was terrifying, and Su Ming recognized what it was.

Symbiotes, a parasitic liquid alien organism, require a host to function and survive normally on Earth. It can enhance the host's abilities, allowing an ordinary person to instantly gain extraordinary strength and abilities.

The object it possesses now should be an experimental animal in Kama Taj, and it should even be an experimental animal itself. Taking advantage of the attack on Kama Taj, it found a new host and then slipped out. .

Su Ming didn't know this symbiote. In the comics, the symbiote venom landed on the earth with the meteorite relatively late.

It seems that reality is really different. Kama Taj obviously caught one earlier.

The most famous symbiote is nothing more than the 'Venom' that possessed Spider-Man. In addition, there are also its descendants and old friends.

In most cases, they reproduce by dividing like single-celled organisms.

Carnage, Toxin, Contempt, Whip, Scream, Extreme, Devour, Lesho and a long list of names, as well as the symbiote-like 'serum' accidentally produced by its host's white blood cells.

This was just what Su Ming knew. They had a symbiote planet, which was full of all kinds of strange symbiotes.

Only on that planet can the symbiote survive independently of its host.

The nature of symbionts is actually neither good nor evil, but they will be affected by the host's thinking and change their own thinking.

For example, Venom's first host was a Kree soldier villain named Tykal. He was a completely crazy murderer, so much so that Venom couldn't stand it anymore and killed him.

Later, Venom came to the earth through a meteorite and was captured by the government. In "Secret Wars", he was passed through by Deadpool from the future for a while and then discarded, so he became crazy.

In the next dozen years, it changed about 1,000 hosts before finally finding Peter Parker and becoming the well-known Venom.

The one in front of me is like this. Maybe the current host is a magical orangutan or pet monkey. There is no advanced intelligence at all. It is the puppet of the symbiote.

The host's body only provides it with a skeleton for walking upright.

The society of symbionts is very simple. Devouring and evolving are the unchanging truths on that planet, and their instincts and fighting power also serve this. There is no need for concepts of good and evil, they only need to evolve.

Now, this unknown symbiote obviously regards Su Ming and the two as a roadblock on their escape.

Symbiotes have different abilities, but they are generally powerful, extremely fast, and able to divide and regenerate. Venom once lifted a 2,000-ton cruise ship, and other symbiotes are not far behind.

Such an attack must not be received forcefully, otherwise Su Ming would not know whether his armor could withstand it.

But now that the symbiote has been identified, there are many ways to deal with it based on my current physical fitness.

Although the symbiote is strong, it also has a lot of weaknesses. It is afraid of noise, fire, and strong radio waves, which will turn it into a fluid and cannot combine with the host.

Su Ming pushed Holloway away and signaled him to find a safe place to assist and entangle the symbiote himself. Now he just hoped that Kamathaj and the others wouldn't be so bored that they used magic to transform it...
