Pollution throughout the territory

The huge body of the Shoggoth was already in front of him. Xia Ren pulled Professor Ford and ran all the way without even thinking about using the shotgun on his back. Although this thermal weapon that embodies human technology is extremely powerful, even yesterday The deformed monster at the end was difficult to kill, let alone the Shoggoth in front of him.

The white penguins didn't stop them, they just stood there, making a sound like laughing wildly, as if they were performing some kind of ceremony, holding their heads high.

The two of them had no time to look around, and they didn't dare to look back. There was a rumble behind them. It was the sound of the Shoggoths smashing into the passage. The screams of the penguins completely disappeared, and the whole army must have been destroyed.

Xia Ren couldn't understand at all why they led the two of them here, and why they remained motionless in the face of the terrifying monsters and calmly welcomed their own death. He couldn't even understand how such creatures had multiplied to this day.

Everything in the cave is unknowable, unimaginable, and unreasonable!

In panic, Xia Ren discovered that the two of them ran in the wrong direction and entered an unfamiliar road. In such a critical moment, it was a fatal mistake!

"Takle-Lee!"

The rumbling sound behind them was getting closer and closer, and the Shoggoth's terrifying cry that sounded like it came from the abyss echoed in the cave, almost overwhelming their remaining sanity!

"There's light ahead!"

Suddenly, Professor Ford discovered something and shouted.

After running for a long time, their lungs were about to explode, especially Xia Ren's injuries last night became more serious under such strenuous exercise. His vision began to become blurred. If it weren't for Professor Ford Running ahead to guide him, he almost hit the wall several times!

Hearing this voice, he summoned up the last bit of strength in his body and ran faster.

Their feet seemed to be tripped by rocks. The two of them had no time to adjust to the sudden situation. They fell directly to the ground and rolled several times. Xia Ren opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and his internal organs were in terrible pain.

"dying……"

He fell into complete despair. He was about to be caught up by the Shoggoths. With this delay, the last hope of the two people disappeared.

However, the rumbling sound from behind stopped at this time, and the Shoggoths shouted "Takli-li!" in that terrifying voice, but did not catch up with them and crush them into powder.

The difference is that the two of them heard a hint of fear in each other's cry this time.

Without any time to think, Xia Ren tried to get up from the ground, but because the injury was too serious, he failed for a while.

Professor Ford stepped forward and helped him up. Although he had been running for so long carrying an eighty-pound gasoline barrel, apart from fear, there was no sign of fatigue on his face, and he didn't even break out in sweat.

"It doesn't seem like it's coming after me."

In just a short while, the Shoggoth's voice gradually faded away until it disappeared.

Neither of them felt lucky to have saved their lives. They only had uncontrollable fear in their hearts.

Just one look at this kind of monster beyond cognition is enough to make ordinary people collapse. In fact, if Xia Ren hadn't forcefully bit the tip of his tongue to wake up just now, the two of them would have been dead at this time.

Different from what they had expected, the bright place they came to was not an exit.

Raising his head, Xia Ren took time to adjust his body condition and observed the surrounding environment.

This is a round building. The thing that tripped them just now was two steps. The two of them were in the center of the building, with no obstruction above their heads. Like a patio, the sun shone through the ice clouds, forming a circular path. The bright beam of light is incompatible with the surrounding darkness.

Their flashlights had long been lost while running. With the light above their heads, they could clearly see a series of mural carvings on the stone wall beside them, as well as several statues of ancients, neatly arranged beside the wall, as majestic as an epic poem. magnificent.

This is like the Hall of Valor, which should be the traces left by the lost ancient race in their early days before they declined. It still retains a deterrent effect on their servant race, the Shoggoth.

Even though the owner of this Hall of Heroes ceased to exist tens of millions of years ago, the Shoggoths still dare not offend him. One can imagine how powerful they must have been before the ancient ones exterminated their clan.

"what is that?"

Xia Ren noticed that on the floor next to him, there was a five-pointed star tentacle broken off from the statue. On the top of the tentacle, a purple crystal about half the size of a fist was inlaid, shining under the light. Shine.

Out of curiosity, since it was something left by the ancients after all, Xia Ren walked over and tried to touch the crystal. It must have been that the eternal years had eroded the statue. As soon as Xia Ren's fingers touched the crystal, the other person rolled off the tentacles.

Xia Ren took it directly in his hand. The touch of the crystal was far colder than the surrounding environment. Xia Ren felt that its temperature was even lower than ice.

Although he knew that crystals could be dangerous things, a strange feeling arose in his heart, which drove Xia Ren to put the crystals into his pocket.

"Let's go."

When Xia Ren recovered to the point where he could walk, Professor Ford picked up two gasoline barrels and said.

In order to avoid meeting the Shoggoths again, they chose to move forward on an unknown road. Since they lost their flashlights, they could only fumble forward. Weird noises sounded from time to time in the darkness, as if there were some creatures dormant in the shadows. They couldn't help but Don't dare to slack off at all. In this tense environment, the concept of time was infinitely blurred. Finally, after an unknown amount of time, they saw the light again.

This time, it's the real exit.

They stood in the huge square again, the cold wind blowing on their cheeks, making Xia Ren feel like he had been reborn. It was only then that the two people's long-suppressed emotions were released.

There was no sign of getting dark, but it was impossible to guess the exact time. Xia Ren and Professor Ford walked around the edge of the square for half an hour and saw Lanaya who had been waiting so hard.

"Let's go home!"

Xia Ren finally had the confidence to say this.

The ruler of the old days has witnessed that the mission to the ancient dream is probably completed. After Lanaya is sent back to her home in Sansi Dadu, Beizhou, she will find an opportunity to die.

After all, the real world is still waiting for his rescue, and a lot of troubles have yet to be dealt with.

…

…

The three of them walked along the signs they made when they came in, so they didn't have to worry about getting lost.

But after Lanaya watched Professor Ford walking for a long time with a heavy-looking gasoline barrel in each hand, she still couldn't help but said: "How about I carry one, or take a rest first..."

Professor Ford smiled and said, "It's okay, we're almost there. It's almost there."
