C125 Chen Zhong's Death
Chen Zhong hid behind an earthen wall with a pale face. There was a vicious wound on his stomach that didn't manage to peel him off.
On the other side of the wall, a grey sand giant was turning its featureless head, looking for something in all directions. Beside it were two smaller giants and a group of villagers holding weapons.
Chen Zhong held his breath and quietly converted his Heavenly Note to Ice, temporarily sealing the wound. This was no less than drinking poison to quench his thirst. Although it could stop the bleeding, it also hurt his body, but he had no other choice.
These strange villagers seemed extremely weak, but the ashes they produced after death could be condensed into a Sand Giant. That big man was made up of 30 parts of the ash, and his strength was even stronger than the Unicorn Demonic Sound Python.
"Dammit, if we kill the smaller ones, they'll grow bigger. If this goes on, we'll be grinded to death by them sooner or later." Chen Zhong shuddered. The chilling cold entered his body, causing his face to turn blue. With an angry expression, he looked extremely ferocious.
Boom, boom, boom!
The huge footsteps gradually disappeared into the distance. Chen Zhong cautiously stuck his head out. He saw that the sand giant had already walked a little further away, but the village names were still hanging around.
Chen Zhong was relieved and prepared to leave immediately. In this village, besides the low mud houses, there was also a well and a few livestock sheds. If there really was a way out, it would definitely be there.
He had already inspected a few mud houses and livestock sheds before. Every time he approached these buildings, the sand giant and the villagers would strangely appear nearby. At first, Chen Zhong was at a loss, but only later did he figure out the rules.
"My body can't take it anymore. I'll choose that well this time. If I don't succeed, I'll die." Chen Zhong clenched his teeth and stood up. He moved quickly along the wall. Perhaps it was due to impatience, but he did not lower his voice. He was heard by a villager holding a sickle.
"That demon is behind the wall. Everyone, follow me." The sickle villagers shouted and took the lead to charge over. The Sand Giant also turned around and walked over.
"You are the demon, your entire family is a demon." Chen Zhong cursed. The moment he lifted the "Dragon's Pillar", a large number of blue notes immediately turned into an icicle and pierced through the Sickle Villagers' head.
Ka-cha! *
The sickle villagers disintegrated, and the flying ash within their bodies turned into a whirlwind that was absorbed by the nearest sand giant. The sand giant also increased its power at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.
Since he had already decided to go for broke, Chen Zhong didn't hold back anymore. While running towards the water well in the village, he attacked again and again, exploding the villagers who were blocking his way one by one.
The moment he neared the well, all the Sand Giants and villagers strangely appeared beside him.
"That demon wants to poison our well."
"What a vicious heart. Quickly kill him!"
The villagers swarmed forward, and the Sand Giants also attacked. Their big hands were like a fierce sandstorm as they attacked. Several villagers were the first to be hit by the sandstorm, and their bodies were smashed into the big hands.
Chen Zhong did not dare to take the blow head on. He borrowed the force of the air wave and retreated. A large amount of sand and wind hit the magical formation in front of him, creating an incessant sound of impact.
"Black Demon Robe" was not good at defense, so the hexagonal Defensive Arts Formation was quickly broken by the sandstorm and the villagers.
A kitchen knife hacked at Chen Zhong's back. Chen Zhong howled in pain and exploded this villager's body with a backhand hit. However, he was delayed for an instant because of this and was hit by a sandstorm hand.
Hualala!
The rapidly flying gravel knife cut Chen Zhong's body like it was in pain.
Chen Zhong screamed until his throat turned hoarse. He used all his might and built an ice wall. He used this moment of delay to charge out.
"That demon is about to die. Everyone, work harder." a man with an iron hammer shouted. As soon as he finished his sentence, he was smashed into pieces by a sand giant, becoming a part of it.
The desert giant caught up to Chen Zhong in two steps and threw a punch towards him. The biting cold wind from the punch instantly broke Chen Zhong's face and pushed him backwards.
"I can't die, I can't die!" Chen Zhong shouted hysterically as he drained all his potential and attacked the Sand Giant crazily. The exploding icicles exploded its fist and the spreading frost greatly hindered its healing.
However, the Sand Giant had no idea what pain was. Without a fist, its frozen wrists landed on Chen Zhong's body as usual. It broke many of his bones and sent him flying like a gunny sack.
"It's over …" Chen Zhong's eyes went blank as he saw a huge palm suddenly land on him.
Plop!2
Chen Zhong fell into the water well, and the rolling water poured into his nostrils, instantly waking him up. Fresh blood and air bubbles gushed out from his mouth and nose.
Immediately after that, a strong dizziness and tearing pain came out at the same time, Chen Zhong fainted.
"… …"
Wu Shuang stood on the teleportation array and everything in front of him became blurry and distorted.
He saw with his own eyes that his body was like dough, ravaged by an unknown force into all kinds of strange appearances. However, other than dizziness and a slight sense of weightlessness, he felt no pain.
Zi Ye did not change his shape, but he did change it several times. Looking around, the distorted space was filled with blue spheres, like eyes staring at him.
Moments later, the dizziness and weightlessness gradually subsided and Wu Shuang's feet landed on the hard ground.
However, before he could inspect his surroundings, a blood-stained figure fell beside him.
"Chen Zhong?" Wu Shuang was a bit surprised. He turned him over and took a breath. He was still alive.
"I didn't lie to you. As long as you don't die on the second floor, you will be here at the same time."
Zi Ye floated over and said, "Heal him, he's still useful if he's alive."
"I do want to, but unfortunately, I can only play 'Red Day' once." Wu Shuang shrugged, "Do you have Blood Crystal or Heavenly-sound Strength Crystals?"
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier? At least three times I need that kind of treatment to repair my body." Zi Ye roared: "There's nothing we can do, there's a big guy on the third floor, there might be Heavenly-sound Strength Crystals there, let's make a bet."
Zi Ye thought about it and said, "Right, bring him along, maybe we can make use of him."
Wu Shuang did not refute him. He picked up the "Pillar of Confinement" and stuffed it into his backpack. Then, he carried Chen Zhong. If he did not kill Sun Wu and Feng San, Wu Shuang would not be so heartless.
One person, one ball, and one person who was on the verge of death walked down the teleportation nexus. In front of them was a flight of stairs leading downwards.
The stone steps were long and narrow, with no fences on either side. Below them was a pitch-black abyss, and occasionally, terrifying howls could be heard.
After walking for a long time, perhaps it was too boring, Wu Shuang asked, "Zi Ye, where does this stone step lead to and what danger?"
"Not so many questions." Zi Ye said impatiently, "There's a maze down there. There are a lot of traps and a few tough guys."
