Lin Sanjiu slid down the slope. As soon as her feet landed, an indescribable pungent smell immediately hit her head and face - the smell was sticky and thick, and it seemed to be stinging.
It pierced the throat, and even she couldn't help but feel a rush of sour juice from her stomach.
The cave was deep and dark, and you couldn't see your fingers. Only the voices of the degenerates above floated faintly, highlighting the silence below. She covered her mouth and nose, turned on "Pure Touch" and waited there for a while.
, couldn’t feel any sign of human activity, so he called out [Ability Polishing Agent].
As soon as the silver light shone, Lin Sanjiu immediately understood the source of the stench.
All the burrows seem to be connected, connected together under the sand; countless narrow passages wind out, dividing this originally very spacious space into many thin strips. Thousands of them
The fleshy people probably live and work in these corridors: the urine, feces, sweat, body odor they excrete, and the smell of leftover insect limbs are twisted together and mixed with countless large and small people.
The statues of gods remain together in this space.
Holding back the stench, Lin Sanjiu stretched out his two fingertips and picked up a palm-sized statue of a god. These flesh figures were made from local materials, and even the statues were made of sand mixed with some unknown glue, so the shape was inevitably different.
Too accurate - not only does it not look like an old man with a long nose, but it looks like a young woman.
Lin Sanjiu frowned and threw the sand statue away - after all, the sand was not firm enough. When it hit something else, it immediately shattered into several pieces. A sweep of silver light in her hand revealed that it was
Below those fragments, there are layers upon layers of various statues, made of all kinds of materials: woven from straw, carved from wood, made from stone...
However, none of them looked like an old man with a long nose.
Lin Sanjiu kicked away several of the statues that were piled up on top. In a series of clanging sounds, the silver light circled from the countless statues below. Each one was carved.
The painting depicts a tall woman in red - if you don't look at the mung bean-like head that is disproportionately small to the body, it would actually be quite pleasing to the eye.
She picked up an arm-long statue wrapped with branches, turned it into a card, and walked deeper in the pungent air for some distance. The corridor was so deep that it seemed to have no end, and they were connected to each other.
Going around in circles, not only did it take a long time to finish, but I also quickly lost the direction I came from.
Fortunately, Lin Sanjiu knew that no matter how she turned around, she would still be on the sand above her head when she came out, so she was not in a hurry - after walking for a while, she saw that every corridor was filled with statues of gods.
She no longer wasted time, feeling the airflow in the corridor with "pure touch", and then walked towards the nearest place where a gentle breeze came from time to time.
Just before she approached the ramp leading to the outside world, Lin Sanjiu suddenly stopped, slowly raised the [Ability Polishing Agent] and narrowed her eyes.
Among the scattered and torn statues of gods, there was a vague human shape lying upside down, with both legs buried by the statues. This man was short and stocky, with a black round hole in the center of his chest——
Even though he was lying face down, he could still see the statue beneath him through the big hole.
Lin Sanjiu stepped forward and pulled the dead body over. Silver light flashed from his face, and he was suddenly shocked. A long, huge nose that seemed about to fall off was softly lowered from the dead body's face.
It hangs down; like the rest of the skin, it is wrinkled and covered with gray hairs——
"Eh?" She was startled, stood up suddenly, as if she couldn't believe her eyes, and looked carefully again under the silver light.
No matter how she looked at it, she felt that the deceased looked too much like the old man Zaoji described.
Don't the degenerates outside lie?
Lin Sanjiu kicked the body back with suspicion, stood up, and walked to the edge of the ramp. According to Zaoji's news, this desert should have been the old man's territory - now he died here, the flesh
The humans and the fallen species lost control and fled, and even all his idols were replaced with the appearance of another god. The matter could not be clearer.
But no matter who killed the old god, why did that god just abandon these statues and flesh figures so casually?
She thought doubtfully as she climbed up the slope. The fresh air and faint starlight outside had fallen in front of her eyes, making her internal organs scream urgently, wanting to escape from the stench of this hole.
Get out - at this moment, Lin Sanjiu suddenly felt the rope on his back loosen, and something heavy suddenly slipped down.
She quickly turned around and reached out to grab half of her brother's body, but because of the dim light, her hands were empty and she couldn't grab anything.
After being tied to his body for a long time and his body adapted to the weight, Lin Sanjiu almost forgot that he was still carrying half of a human body; probably because of the bumps along the way, the knot came loose, and all he could see was his brother's body.
It rolled down the slope and landed with a bang on the ground in the cave, immediately arousing a strong pungent smell.
For a moment, the thought of "Forget it, I won't pick it up" flashed through Lin Sanjiu's mind.
Her brother is still alive and seems to have many secrets hidden in him, but she really doesn’t know what to do with this half of his body——
After only hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Sanjiu finally sighed, climbed down the ramp again, and called out [Ability Polishing Agent] again.
"Come on, it seems you still have to follow me for a while," she picked up the rope and smiled at her brother, "I don't know if you would rather stay here, or -"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Sanjiu swallowed back the second half of the sentence and stared straight at his brother's face.
In the bright white light, her brother didn't pay attention to her at all; he couldn't move his neck, so he twisted his eyes into the corners of his eyes, leaving only a bloodshot white eyeball - Lin Sanjiu followed him
Looking straight in the direction, my eyes fell on the corpse of the old man.
...She stood up full of doubts and came to the old man's side again.
The dead body still looked the same as before - except that it died more miserably, and you couldn't even tell that he was a god. After thinking about it, Lin Sanjiu knelt down and put her hands on him this time.
[Flat World] was activated immediately, and the old man's body quickly disappeared from the spot; at the same time, she felt a hard tap in the palm of her hand.
As soon as she got the card, before she had time to look at it, she suddenly heard a thunderous roar from outside the cave: "Evolve man, evolve man! Come out, where are you!" - it was Zaoji.
Along with his roar, the ground above his head began to tremble, as if Zaoji finally got rid of his disguise and walked on the sand step by step. Yellow sand suddenly fell in clusters from above his head.
When she came down, she slapped Lin Sanjiu all over her head and face; she wiped her face, hurriedly put away the [Ability Polishing Agent] and the Old Man God's card, picked up half of her brother's body, and retreated to the ramp.
Logically speaking, such a cave cannot be dug under the quicksand; it was probably due to the old man's god's ability that he forcibly created a territory under the layers of sand. The god who created this cave now
It was already dead. Lin Sanjiu didn't know how long it could hold on under Zaoji's footsteps, fearing that she would be buried underneath by the sudden collapse of the yellow sand, so she quickly grabbed her brother with one hand and climbed up the slope with the other.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly: just as Lin Sanjiu climbed onto the sand and retracted her feet, the hole behind her collapsed with a roar - countless yellow sand suddenly slid down and hit the hole heavily.
, raising up choking yellow dust all over the sky. Like dominoes, one cave collapsed, and the other caves all over the desert also collapsed into a cloud of sand one after another, as if a cloud had risen from the ground.
It was like a sandstorm, and for a while nothing could be seen clearly except for the thick dust mist.
Lin Sanjiu was choked and couldn't say a word. She coughed violently for a while, and then finally opened her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw two calves that were like pillars of heaven, their muscles squeezed out due to squatting.
"Why did it take you so long?" Along with his loud voice that made people's ears hurt, there were also streams of smelly wind blown by the jujube spines.
Lin Sanjiu couldn't blame him for stepping on the hole - if she had to complain about even a hole he stepped on, it would inevitably make Zaoji doubt her ability. While she was panting, she tied half of her brother's body behind her again.
On his back, he asked: "It's too big down there. Why did you come out? Where are those fallen species?"
"They're all dead." Zaoji replied calmly. It was only then that the smoke slowly began to fall, and Lin Sanjiu realized that the gaps between his toes were filled with yellow sand - it seemed that he had stepped on something.
The viscous liquid on the soles of the feet, and walking on the sand without caring, stuck to layers of sand, and were dyed a fishy brown red. "I think those fleshy people and degenerate species must be something else.
The traps of false gods—one of them seemed to be able to find my direction by smelling my scent. To be cautious, I trampled them all to death."
Lin Sanjiu swallowed dryly.
If she had come out earlier, those meat people might not have died...
"You killed him too early," after a while, she heard her own voice say coldly: "The original god here was indeed killed by another god. The fallen one did not lie."
Zaoji was stunned for a moment, and his face suddenly fell: "Who killed him? That statue -"
"The statues have all turned into this god," Lin Sanjiu said as she threw out the statue of the god she had transformed into a card.
Almost as soon as the statue landed on the ground, Zaoji suddenly stood up straight - his angry voice rang out from the sky: "It's the Sha Girl! It's her who ruined me again!"
He seemed to be really angry. He walked back and forth several times, causing the earth to shake, and even all the plants and corpses on the sand were trampled to pieces. After a while, Zaoji suddenly leaned down and rushed forward.
Lin Sanjiu shouted: "Why didn't you come out and tell me earlier? Now you come with me to find the Sand Girl. I don't care what you do, you must kill her evolutionary assistant!"
Lin Sanjiu was stunned for a moment, as if she had just been distracted and then woke up; she hurriedly put her hands behind her back, avoiding Zaoji's sight, and hurriedly said "Okay"——
In the palm of her hand, she held the Old Man God card that she had called out. But it was not one card, but two.
