Chapter 1293: Underground room

Ye Zhongming and Ling Kun had seen bloody scenes many times, and it was tough to make them feel anything. They were already numb to it.

But in such a dark room, to see so many orderly hung corpses, they found it slightly uncomfortable.

It was dark, cold, weird, and terrifying. This atmosphere filled one with a sense of danger, suppression, and unease.

Only Yellow Ball, who didn’t know about all this, didn’t fear anything. It looked forward with killing intent.

It raised its head and sniffed while giving out a low growl. Yellow Ball had realised that there was something that it had to be wary of.

Ye Zhongming and Ling Kun were both experts. They searched the bodies and found a weird phenomenon.

These corpses looked like they died a long time ago, but what they couldn’t understand was why weren’t they decomposing.

These mummies were different from those dried corpses. Ye Zhongming touched these corpses, and they were bouncy. Their blood vessels weren’t dry and were even filled. But in other areas, they were like corpses.

“How did they die?” Ling Kun checked and saw that there weren’t any obvious wounds. He touched the stomach, and with his experience, he judged that they didn’t suffer from any serious internal injuries. All signs also showed that they were hung up after they died.

How did they die?

The moment they had such a thought, they found the answer quickly.

“Ear…” Ye Zhongming frowned. He saw that each corpse’s ear was being pierced, and it reached their heads.

Ling Kun took out a dagger and sliced open the heads of many corpses. He saw that they were empty.

Sucking the brain?

Ye Zhongming and Lingkun looked at each other and felt uncomfortable.

“It did it?” Lingkun asked instinctively.

Ye Zhongming smiled coldly, “Apart from it, there is nothing else.”

“It is moving towards you; be careful!”

Although he was sure the monster was nearby, he wasn’t sure exactly where it was. But when Ye Zhongming got in, and the monster started to move, he could lock onto it. When Lingkun studied the corpse, it moved and reached the first floor in a blink. It was heading toward where Saintess and Red Hair were at.

Ye Zhongming instinctively warned Red Hair.

“Saw it. It didn’t attack us but entered the… Basement.”

Red Hair’s news returned quickly. The black shadow didn’t attack them and charged through a door to enter the basement.

Ye Zhognming and Lingkun looked at the corpses and didn’t understand what it was doing.

Escaping or attacking them was something they expected. But why did it head into the basement?

The lifeform fro the Secret Realm filled everyone with mystery.

The two of them led Yellow Ball down to the first floor to gather with the Saintess.

“There!”

She raised her chin toward a door that was shattered.

Ye Zhongming didn’t enter. He looked around. This was similar to the second floor, and some corpses were hanging outside. There were some on the ground, which were the ones that the Saintess and the others had seen.

Ye Zhongming glanced and then nodded. He took out four balls and tossed them in.

The balls gave off a warm light. As Ye Zhongming used some strength, the balls headed into all directions when they entered the basement.

Ye Zhongming counted. When he counted to three, he charged in and the others followed.

When everyone entered, the four balls hit the walls. After shattering, they turned into bright silver sand that attached to the walls and lit the enter basement.

The basement was huge, and it was modified. The ground wasn’t flat and leaned downwards, placing them higher.

Although it was big, there wasn’t a pillar in the center, and everything could be seen.

Everyone saw the black monster in the corner. Although there was some light, as everything was focused at the front, the deep areas were dark.

But to the level eight lifeforms here, such brightness was enough for them to see everything.

Each person was shocked.

The moment the black shadow escaped, everyone saw what it looked like. But now, it had changed.

It was bigger and looked much taller than humans. Its head, which was the same width as a shoulder, was now smaller, but its face still didn’t have eyelids and lips.

Its neck grew longer, and the gills became more obvious. What was shocking was that the claw had grown back. The difference was that it was not a sharp claw anymore but ten tentacle-like organs.

There was a sharp fang-shaped thing at the tip.

“Human…”

A hoarse voice entered their ears and made everyone nervous.

This monster was speaking Chinese!

Each tone and voice was weird, but it was speaking!

This monster learned how to speak?

“Earth…”

Another word that shocked everyone.

This monster raised its meter-long hand and pointed toward Ye Zhongming.

“Cloud Peak…”

“Ye Zhongming…”

It had a weird expression, and said it word by word. It was as if it was using this method to tell Ye Zhongming and the others that it was learning it knew many things.

“Saintess… Ya Mei!”

Saintess gave a short scream when she heard that name!
