Chapter 178 (1/2)

“Come with me, I can a.s.sure 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 some strange abilities, he was still a human.

However, she didn’t hear any response from Chu Yunsheng. She was alerted and immediately turned around. All she could see was the back of a golden-sh.e.l.led insect and it was quickly digging into the ground.

The woman instantly unleashed her power, attempting to freeze the golden-sh.e.l.led insect. She had a strange feeling that that human must be inside this golden-sh.e.l.led insect.

However, it was too late, the golden-sh.e.l.led 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 me 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….

Meanwhile, Chu Yunsheng was holding his breath and curling up his body inside the golden-sh.e.l.led insect. The humid and stuffy underground environment made him feel extremely uncomfortable. After the city disappeared, the force that had stopped golden-sh.e.l.led 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 flame 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 become 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-sh.e.l.led insect dug out of the ground, Chu Yunsheng quickly crawled out of the hole on the back of the golden-sh.e.l.led 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 gla.s.sy and his movements were clumsy. It seemed like his body was not controlled by him but more like the defence mechanism had taken control over his body.

The giant pit left by the sphere was already far away from him. The extremely 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-sh.e.l.led insect. So his clumsy movement, 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 seemed 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 mechanism 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 something that could cover the pit for him.

The golden-sh.e.l.led insect seemed 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, something 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.
