Chapter 64 - Stirring Up a Hornets Nest (2/2)
Zhong Yue shuddered in fear, he mustered all his strength and erupted with his maximum speed. The next moment, the Xiang Dragon had entered into the tunnel as countless death rays interweaved to from a net of death flying straight for him!
Zhong Yue ran with all his might, the death rays behind him pierced through the flesh walls and melted the mountain rocks into magma!
Chui-chui-chui!
The mountain rocks were littered with tiny perforations, as if they were created in the heart chamber. From the holes, burning hot and viscous lava trickled down in rivulets!
Although they were described as small, it was only in comparison to this gargantuan underground world. Each hole was in fact, at least as big as a water bucket. Any one of them could punch a gaping hole in Zhong Yue's body!
Zhong Yue sprinted deep into the tunnel along the way when all of a sudden, he reached a junction. Behind him, countless evil eyes hovered in the air and flooded into the tunnel.
"Xin Huo, directions! Which way?"
Xin Huo was getting anxious, the Sui Sovereign behind Zhong Yue held onto the weathered lamp, the little flame stuck his head out of the lamp and said, "Third from the left!"
Zhong Yue sped up and rushed into the third tunnel. He accelerated again and again—Krong! A loud deafening boom was audible as he broke through the sound barrier and bolted away!
Behind him in the tunnel, the evil eyes swung their tentacles and fluttered in, they followed along the way while incessantly blasting out laser rays of death!
At the same time, the massive heart in the middle of the heart chamber thumped, one after another, the meatballs on the flesh cars fell off onto the ground and turned into corpse demons, they set off with a fast gait and leaped around toward the tunnel!
The tunnel was wide and spacious, the corpse demons ran on the ground and crawled around the walls, but their speed was high, not any slower than Zhong Yue's!
They were equivalent to Qi Practitioners that only cultivated the physique-refining arts. One could tell how swift their seed was, even Zhong Yue could not shake them off.
In contrast, the furious evil eyes were a degree slower; but all of a sudden, the evil eyes gyrated their tentacles in the air and flew toward the corpse demons. They landed on the corpse demons' head, making it seem as if they had large peculiar eyes growing on their heads!
At the same time in the heart chamber, a giant beast crouching on the massive blood veins rose and trotted off, it was heading toward the tunnel Zhong Yue was in!
The white skeletal giant beasts had its bones engraved with totem carvings, while it was running, the totem carvings glimmered brightly, catapulting its speed to a higher point!
Along the way, the corpse demons jumped down from the flesh walls onto the giant beast. They weaved themselves into the thigh muscles on the white skeletal giant beast!
On the other hand, the tentacular evil eyes crawled along the giant beast's bones and entered its eye sockets, many eyeballs clumped together and formed the eyes of the giant beast!
As the giant beast broke off into a sprint, the corpse demons that were littered around it would crawl and jump onto its bones. Its muscles enlarged, and its limbs eventually took form. Its speed rocketed as its legs grew with every grotesque augmentation offered by the corpse demons that it subsumed.
The giant beast's four limbs were entirely covered in muscle. With a sudden burst of strength—Krong! It also broke through the sound barrier and was quickly gaining on Zhong Yue with insane speed!
"Brat Yue, faster, a little bit faster!"
Xin Huo turned and looked back. The tunnel was quaking, and it was clear that an unimaginably massive creature was on their tail. Even the corpse demons could not maintain their position and were shaken off of the flesh walls. Xin Huo immediately knew that things were quickly getting worse as his situation approached dire straits. He promptly said, "A big guy is coming!"
The white skeleton giant beast came into their sights—Hong! It rammed into the flesh wall, crushing countless corpse demons in between and stomping those beneath its feet into minced meat!
While at the same time, corpse demons continued to jump down from the wall onto the giant beast as its muscles.
Zhong Yue hastened his pace without wasting any precious time and energy even to turn his head around. Lightning could be seen crackling beneath his feet, and he bolted out forward. Every burst of electricity would bring with it a small boost in his speed. The winds blew directly across his face, and the friction created sparks of fire against his dragon scales!
His speed was at its peak, and he could not go any faster. But behind him, the giant beast was still closing in, its massive eye shimmered and galvanized its energy to form a large destructive light beam that blasted straight at Zhong Yue!
"U-turn! First right!"
Zhong Yue mustered all his strength, the dragon scales around his limbs bristled up like blades, abruptly he forcefully changed his inertia and rammed into the first tunnel on his right.
Behind him, the light beam, that was capable of wanton destruction, liquefied the mountain rock, scorched the air, and ignited a huge conflagration that threatened to engulf the world!
As the tunnel trembled and quaked vigorously, the giant beast dashed out from the curtain of flames. It howled fiercely, but there were no sounds. It was because its vocal cord had yet to be formed by the corpse demons, rendering it incapable of audibly expressing its mad insanity for slaughter.
It was at this time that the other massive eye on the giant beast started glimmering, and another beam of death rays was on the verge of blasting out!
