Chapter 178
“Co with , I can assure your safety,” the woman said lightly. The cloaked man was dead. With Chu Yunsheng himself alone, it was no longer a threat to her. So this might be his best choice.
She was not worried that Chu Yunsheng was going to run away; she was confident at her speed. Although this human had so strange abilities, he was still a human.
However, she didn’t hear any response from Chu Yunsheng. She was alerted and imdiately turned around. All she could see was the back of a golden-shelled insect and it was quickly digging into the ground.
The woman instantly unleashed her power, attempting to freeze the golden-shelled insect. She had a strange feeling that that human must be inside this golden-shelled insect.
However, it was too late, the golden-shelled insect had completely dug into the ground when the attack arrived. Her ability only froze the collapsed tunnel.
The woman instantly frowned. ‘Too careless? Or he has too many secrets that caught off guard? How can I let a human slip away under my watch!’
She looked around and noticed that the cloaked man’s body was gone. She suddenly broke into a smile.
Using her index finger, she wiped the blood off her shoulder. All the bloodstain started to be liquefied and lifted up. Then her shoulder once again returned to the flawless and spotless state.
She then lightly jumped up and leaped towards the north....
anwhile, Chu Yunsheng was holding his breath and curling up his body inside the golden-shelled insect. The humid and stuffy underground environnt made him feel extrely uncomfortable. After the city disappeared, the force that had stopped golden-shelled insect digging into the ground also disappeared.
His face was twisted and he was struggling in his mind. It was like there were two voices fighting each other in his mind. One voice says, ‘go back and kill the woman in the white dress: avenge your family’s death at any costs! Everyone in your family has died, the little tiger has died. They all died. Kill her... kill her... And the other voice says, “the purple fla monster is not recovered yet and only 10 fire offensive talismans are not enough to kill the woman... Everyone in your family is still alive... The little tiger is still alive... Run and go find them... Run...’
He wanted to go back and kill the alien but his body acted differently.
He didn’t know why whenever he engaged in a fight he would suddenly beco an entirely different person. He also did not know why there were two voices in his mind. Why would the other voice tell him to run away and find Jin Ling city....
...
After the golden-shelled insect dug out of the ground, Chu Yunsheng quickly crawled out of the hole on the back of the golden-shelled insect to breathe as much air and as quickly as possible. The lack of oxygen made his face turn white and his mind turn blank.
His eyes were glassy and his movents were clumsy. It seed like his body was not controlled by him but more like the defence chanism had taken control over his body.
The giant pit left by the sphere was already far away from him. The extrely bright light dot had also already disappeared.
The endless darkness once again covered his world. Apart from the giant tombs that were still spurting out fires in the distance, It was dead silent around him.
He tried to stand up but he did not realise that he was still on top of the golden-shelled insect. So his clumsy movent, plus his absent mind instantly made him fall onto the ground.
No painful groans, only the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground. It seed like he did not even feel the pain. However he was weak, and he was struggling to get up.
It was pitch black, but he did not seem to care about it. When he finally got up, he began to move forward numbly and clumsily.
One step... Two steps... Then he tripped over and fell into a pit. His defence chanism instantly took over the control of his body once again. He was waving his sword in panic. But apart from hitting the wall in the pit, nothing else happened.
He was constantly waving his sword until he no longer had the energy to lift up the sword, and no longer able to stand up. He felt tired and cold. He curled up his body in the pit and subconsciously wished that if there was sothing that could cover the pit for him.
The golden-shelled insect seed to have received the command. It slowly moved its body to cover the small crater, leaving only a small gap for him to breathe.
But he still did not feel comfortable, it was almost impossible for him to rest while wearing the armor. He subconsciously wanted to take off the armour and as he was thinking, the armour instantly deactivated.
“Hmm...” he made a comfortable moan.
‘It is much better,’ The only thought appeared in his blank mind.
However, when he was trying to adjust himself to a comfortable position, sothing in his pocket was pressing against his chest, and it irritated him.
He angrily took it out and threw it away. The box was knocked on the ground and its lid was opened.
As a birthday song appeared in the small pit, he suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were no longer glassy and his body slowly started to shake. He instantly sat up and quickly grabbed the rectangular box that was glowing the colourful light.
It was a music box, and there was a piece of paper and a small candle inside it. He used his constantly trembling hand to open the pieces of paper.
“... Brother... I’m sorry... Happy birthday!.... Present... Jing Tian... Jing Yi...”
It was the birthday present from his cousins, and it was probably stuffed into his pocket by his auntie.
His eyes instantly turned red, and his lips started twitching.
“why... why... WHY!!!” he was trying to hold back his tears, but it did not seem to help. The more he asked the louder his cry was. His body was constantly shaking from the loud crying. His 10 fingers were stabbed deep into the soil, attempting to stop his body from shaking, but it still did not seem to help. He was banging his head on the ground frantically until he eventually lost his consciousness completely....
........
When he woke up again, it was already 8:00 the next day. He was woken up by the insect’s movent on the ground, and his first reaction was to activate the armour. The second reaction was to find the music box.
The hazing shimr had already shed light on the ground through the gap between the crater and the golden-shelled insect.
He slowly approached the gap, wanting to see what was going on. Then he noticed that all the insects were running towards the huge pit that was left by the sphere.
He slowly and quietly moved back to the centre of the crater. He did not want to make any sound to alert the swarm.
Chu Yunsheng had already cald down at this point. In fact, when the cloaked man was killed, half of his anger was already vented. All he felt after that was just emptiness, loneliness, and regret. The crazy uncontrollable behaviours he had last night also vented out a lot of his negative feelings.
He was thinking about finding the woman in the white dress and killing her. However, his mind was not filled with anger at the mont. He started to think in a rational way. As the other voice in his mind said, he was indeed only left with a few Fire offensive talismans, the purple fla monster was also not fully recovered yet. Even if the woman in the white dress was weaker than the cloaked man, he still wouldn’t be able to kill her.
Also, many insects were constantly running towards the gigantic pit. If he went back, he probably would not be able to find the woman in the white dress, but he would definitely encounter a lot of insects.
He angrily recited the word “aliens” inside his mind once again while clenching the music box tightly.
He did not know why he had a strong feeling that the people in Jin Ling city might be still alive. He had thought about every possible scenario, he had even thought that he might be in the early state of Schizophrenia.
However, he still didn’t have an answer. But there was a way to find it out. It was to open the entrance again. He wanted to see for himself. He wanted to give himself an answer. Otherwise, it would haunt his mind for the rest of his life.
Although the rest of the negative feelings had been suppressed by him, he did not doubt that once it ca back, it would instantly make him lose his mind.
However, he could not open the entrance by himself, he needed aliens to do it for him. But at the mont there was no way he could defeat the aliens, let alone asking them to open the entrance. So he needed to increase his power first.
So at the mont, his priority was to get away from here. The movent outside the crater seed to beco louder and louder. It seed like more and more insects started to move towards the gigantic pit. He needed to run away before the insects occupied the pit.
He had thought about using the golden-shelled insect to run away. However, since the last ti he sealed the purple fla monster, the mysterious force “Min” seed to be able to recognize his golden-shelled insect.
Although the insects that had run past the golden-shelled insect did not seem to be interested in a non-moving and seemingly dead golden-shelled insect, Chu Yunsheng had a strong feeling that once he ordered the golden-shelled insect to move, those insects would definitely be able to spot the difference.
He did not want to risk it. So he was slowly searching through items in his storage talisman. Suddenly, he noticed the cloaked man’s cloak. He recited the incantation to take out the cloak, and just when he wanted to check the cloak, he noticed that his both hands were full.
One of his hands was holding the sword, the other was still clenching the music box.
Looking at the music box, the feeling of sadness, anger, and regret slowly ca back to him. He instantly suppressed the feeling, “I will find you! I will...” He gritted his teeth, and said.
It seed like he was talking to himself. Then he stored the music box into the storage talisman and started to check the cloak.
The cloaked man was able to turn into a fla, and he was able to beco invisible. He felt like he might be able to find sothing in this cloak to solve this mystery, and if he was able to find the thod, he could potentially use it on himself. Then he would be able to run away from here easily.
