Chapter 237
Chu Yunsheng was constantly ordering the green-shelled insect to dodge the incoming tubes. Just when he was about to reach the top level of the tomb, the tomb seed to lost its “mind” all of sudden, all the tubes including the ones that attached to the atballs were quickly retracted and flew to the center of the tomb, they ford a net, attempting to stop Chu Yunsheng from going up higher.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to go back, the situation below him was even worse, so he quickly unleashed a round of sword Qi to make a gap in the net.
12 sword Qi were spinning rapidly when they hit the net that was made of countless tubes, however, it only made a small gap in the tube net, and it seed like the gap was about to close very quickly.
Chu Yunsheng instantly cast out the second sound of sword Qi again, this ti, the gap was widened, but many tubes from the side of the wall were still trying to reach the center of the net to fix the gap.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to wait any longer, he instantly ordered the green-shelled insect to ascend and break out from the net.
When they just went through the net, many tubes instantly shot outward trying to catch them.
Suddenly, the green-shelled insect screeched loudly. It was its legs. They were wrapped around by so tubes and the green-shelled insect was being pulled down by those tubes.
Chu Yunsheng imdiately unleashed one more round sword Qi downwards to clear the tubes that were grabbing the green-shelled insect’s legs.
Then, he ordered the green-shelled insect to use all its energy to ascend again.
When they finally reached the top level, the tomb suddenly fell silent, all the tubes also stopped chasing them, but those tubes didn’t retract either, all of them were crowded at the edge of the middle level, squirming nervously.
In such a big tomb, all Chu Yunsheng could hear was just one noise...
“Thump! Thump! Thump!...”
Chu Yunsheng raised his head to find the cause of the sound. Above him, a small red slimy atball that was as big as a basketball was expanding, shrinking, beating like a human heart in the center of the tomb’s top-level.
‘Is this its core?’ Chu Yunsheng thought. He controlled the green-shelled insect to fly around the strange atball to take a close look.
The closer he got to the atball the slower those tubes below him squird, he could sense that they were nervous.
Around the atball, there were many tiny transparent tubes of varying sizes attached to it. Inside those tubes, endless streams of liquid were constantly being injected into the strange atball, with such large quantities, Chu Yunsheng wondered why it did not explode.
Above the atball, it was the “exit” Chu Yunsheng was looking for; there were many tumor-like organisms protruding from the internal wall of the exit. The “smoke-like” substances he saw from outside were produced by those organisms.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t like to touch anything that was out of the ordinary. His rule has always been trying to avoid anything that was not necessary. Since the tomb had already given up chasing him, he didn’t want to provoke it any further. So Chu Yunsheng ordered the green-shelled insect to fly towards the exit.
However, just when they flew past the atball, Chu Yunsheng’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He suddenly felt the force of “Min”!
However, when both the green-shelled insect and he stopped, the force was gone.
Chu Yunsheng had a cold shudder, there was a “Min” here, but he didn’t notice it.
‘Was it a deterrence? Warning? Or was it sothing else?’ Chu Yunsheng didn’t know what the force ant, but he didn’t dare to make one more move.
He was looking around trying to find anything might help him to understand what was going on. However, apart from the beating atball, it was very quiet on the top-level of the tomb.
‘That definitely was not an illusion.’ Chu Yunsheng thought.
Suddenly he had a crazy theory.
‘No way!’ The theory was so crazy that Chu Yunsheng didn’t even believe it himself.
He ordered the green-shelled insect to approach the atball one more ti. Just when the green-shelled insect got roughly 10 centiters away from the atball, Chu Yunsheng sensed the force again.
He imdiately ordered the green-shelled insect to fly away, in panic, and the force instantly disappeared.
This ti, he clearly felt it, and it ca from the atball. ‘Is it a newborn?’ Chu Yunsheng guessed.
‘Is it because the communication from outside was cut off, so the tomb was producing a new leader?’ Chu Yunsheng thought again.
Then he quickly gave up that thought.
To him, what he should be thinking was to find a way to remove this thing from the tomb and kill it!
If it was “Min”, then he definitely should not allow this thing to continuously grow any bigger, even if it wasn’t “Min”, this thing could affect the tomb’s defense chanism, he definitely would not allow this thing to exist when he was hiding in the creep area.
Looking at the crowded tubes near the edge of the middle level of the tomb, Chu Yunsheng gritted his teeth and swung the sword.
He cut off all the tubes that attached to the atball and grabbed the atball, at the sa ti, he imdiately ordered the green-shelled insect to fly up!
The entire tomb was enraged by Chu Yunsheng’s attack, the “exit” was instantly closed and all the tumor-like organisms also stopped emitting the smoke, instead, those organisms started to gash out a highly corrosive sticky liquid.
All the tubes below Chu Yunsheng no longer crowded at the edge of the middle-level, all of them shot upwards instantly.
Chu Yunsheng cast out many glacier talismans to stop the highly corrosive liquid, at the sa ti, he also constantly cast out sword Qi, attempting to make a gap above his head.
But his speed was still slowed down, and the tubes below him quickly seized the opportunity to grab the green-shelled insect.
Chu Yunsheng imdiately decided to abandon the green-shelled insect. He jumped up and summoned another green-shelled insect and landed on top of the second green-shelled insect and flew upwards.
However, there were many tubes, and they seed to know where Chu Yunsheng was. Whenever Chu Yunsheng changed a green-shelled insect the tubes would follow him imdiately. He was continuously summoning the new green-shelled insects, the third... the fourth...
Chu Yunsheng’s heart sank deeper as he summoned more green-shelled insects, however, he still could not get close to the exit .....
