Ye Cheng frowned as he looked down at the Red Star Town below him. The might of the barrier that had collapsed had razed the entire town to the ground, and had even affected the surrounding area, causing the mountain ridge behind the town to be buried under the soil. The forest was mostly destroyed, and almost all the marks were completely covered.
However, Ye Cheng was the kind of person who would not shed tears even if he saw the coffin, he would still have to touch it after he saw the coffin, so he only told Ah San to stay back to protect Sang Huihui, and when he received his signal, Big Mountain carried his backpack and quickly followed Ye Cheng down the mountain.
Strangely, one side of the mountain was a cliff, while the other side was a steep slope. If one rushed down quickly, it was very easy to lose their footing because they couldn't clearly see the road below. It was just as dangerous.
There were quite a few times where they almost fell to the ground because of the deviations in their paths. Fortunately, Ye Cheng was able to save their lives in time, so the two stumbled to the foot of the mountain.
Using the forest as the boundary, the soil did not continue to climb upwards. Instead, it was as if a knife had been cut out of the ground, blocking the forest.
"Be careful, this place is not peaceful." Ye Cheng took out his blade and looked at the mountain beside him.
His first step on the soil was not as soft as the day before. The surface looked like cotton when he stepped on it, but it felt like he was stepping on a hard foam in the middle. The hardness that seeped out from within was not like the soil, but some sort of chemical substance.
What could turn an abandoned town into a chemical reaction zone? Ye Cheng could not understand, but with the methods these people used, there must be some unspeakable secrets under Red Star Town.
Circling around the forest, Ye Cheng pointed upwards. The two of them climbed the tree, and like Mt. Tai, they travelled through the forest, looking for the imprint he left behind.
After the destruction of the Gate of Escaping, the mountain forest became extremely peaceful. From top to bottom, the shape of the soil layer was more like foam bubbles, with a particularly strange appearance. Under the night sky, the surface of the soil layer emitted a light similar to minerals, and the traces of quartz were especially obvious.
Ye Cheng landed on a tree and gestured to the large mountain on top of another tree for him to rest for a while, then leaped forward and stopped on a treetop one meter away.
Although the layer of soil had covered up many places, relying on his extremely strong memories, Ye Cheng found the place where he had destroyed the most. It was a tree that had been cut down, and its age was at least a hundred years old.
Ye Cheng followed the tree trunk and landed on the soil layer, brushing past rough particles, his finger had a bit of bright powder on it. After testing the strength of the soil layer, he waved at the huge mountain behind him, and rushed forward.
Mountain's foot landed on the ground, and he immediately sank half of his leg into the ground. He tried to pull himself up and step over, but it was still difficult to move forward. As he wanted to ask for help, Ye Cheng was already a few meters away. Big Mountain had already calmed down, and was moving forward step by step.
After he stood in place for a while, he took a step and stepped down. There seemed to be something underneath the layer of earth, and the feeling of stepping on it was like stepping on a corpse. This discovery made him break out in a cold sweat.
When she looked at Ye Cheng again, she saw that he was already gone. What should she do?
If he spoke out, Ye Cheng would definitely return, but this would delay him, so after careful consideration, Mountain decided to solve the mystery below the layer of earth himself.
He threw away his backpack, took out his folding tools, and stabbed them into the soil like a steel bar. Clang! The large mountain leaned against the iron rod and listened intently. There was something crawling below, and it moved extremely quickly, and it was also heading in the direction that Ye Cheng was heading towards.
"This is bad!" Big Mountain let out a cry as he pulled out the iron bar and inserted it forward. Then, the lever then sprang up and landed two meters in front of him. He pulled the lever and inserted it again. This time, there was a substantial sound of "Pu Pu".
Beneath the lever was some kind of animal intestinal juice and a black hard shell, which was rather disgusting.
"Buggy!" "Big Mountain put it under his nose and sniffed it. The smell was really bad, like the smell of a rotten corpse." Boss Ye! "
Ye Cheng heard Mountain calling out to him, and stared at the cave in front of him, inside of it crackling sounds continuously. Worms, half-human bugs. "
Squinting his eyes, Ye Cheng quietly retreated back to the side of the mountain. He grabbed onto the back of's collar and pulled him away from the ground, causing him to fall onto a tree, then used a military knife to remove the dirt on the soles of his shoes. The light of the flashlight shone onto the soil, causing the dry and hard soil particles to mix together with a lot of black insect seeds.
After igniting a flame to burn the soil layer and these insect seeds to the ground, Ye Cheng finally heaved a sigh of relief. He lit a cigarette. Beneath the soil were wormholes.
There should be insect keepers nearby.
"Boss Ye, since these bugs are afraid of fire, why don't we burn this place!" Mountain's scalp went numb at the thought of those black hard shell bugs.
"If only it was that simple! "The bugs are afraid of fire, but if we burn down such a large area of the cave, if the bugs below don't burn down, we will sink into the sea of fire and become food for the bugs." Ye Cheng used his army knife to poke at the scorched earth, the insects' life force was very strong, and some of the insects' seeds were crushed by Ye Cheng's kick because they were hatched at a high temperature, letting out a clear sound.
Chi chi chi, chi chi!
Mountain opened his eyes wide, Ye Cheng raised a finger close to his lips, making a gesture of silence.
The sound came from beneath the soil layer, and the sound was getting more and more concentrated. Ye Cheng crouched his body and leaned on the tree trunk as he listened carefully, and then suddenly opened his eyes, and grabbed Big Mountain's collar as he dashed towards the tree in front.
Just as they were leaving, a string of black objects shot out from the center of the tree trunk, breaking the whole tree into pieces.
So powerful!
Ye Cheng and Big Mountain stared at the insect's destructive capabilities, then looked at the tree under their feet, and immediately scattered and escaped, escaping towards the mountain forest in the direction of the boundary line.
The two of them were already very fast, and the black wave behind them was even faster. Wherever it went, it turned into a mess.
With the mountains at the back, he could clearly feel the stench of the bugs, and he was only two metres away from the dividing line, and Ye Cheng had already passed it.
Suddenly, they moved to the left and right side of Ye Cheng's back, stood up straight, and opened their mouths wide as they pounced towards the top of Ye Cheng's head.
"Boss Ye, be careful!" Big Mountain roared out loud and swung his backpack towards the insect wave.
The insect wave seemed to be scared by the sudden appearance of this thing. It suddenly dispersed and after dodging the backpack, it gathered together again and rolled towards the mountain.
The two insect waves attacked at the same time, and the mountain was instantly submerged by the black bugs.
Ye Cheng watched as his heart broke. He suddenly shouted, and ignited two fireballs, rushing to the front of the wave and dispersing the black bugs. He dragged the mountain out, but it was already too late.
In just a few seconds, the big man's body was gnawed into a pile of white bones. He stared at Ye Cheng and screamed out in pain. "Kill me!"
Ye Cheng bit her lips and threw out a fireball at Mountain's body. A fireball appeared from the fire and engulfed Mountain and the black bugs.
The sparks hit the tree, burning the whole tree, then the second and the third. In an instant, the entire forest was engulfed in a sea of fire.
Ye Cheng stood within the sea of flames as he walked forward step by step. The raging flames did not harm his hair in the slightest, and as he walked forward, the flames in his surroundings turned orange red and then an extreme icy blue. The temperature rose again and again, and the high temperature was enough to melt everything.
Ye Cheng floated in mid-air, and by now, he was standing in the center of Red Star Town, facing the village house. With just a single glance, he drew a huge totem with his arms, and with a boom, he shot a pillar of fire toward the village house opposite.
The ripping sound rang for a second and then disappeared. The house in the village was burning in flames, a black shadow rushed out from inside, and after walking a few steps, he fell to the ground. Ye Cheng ignored the fire behind him and walked towards the people on the ground.
A charred body lay on the ground. It was impossible to tell what it looked like, but from the skeleton it seemed like a woman.
Ye Cheng raised his right arm and waved it across the corpse, causing the charred soil to scatter and a mask to fall from the body.
Heh heh, heh heh!
Ye Cheng suddenly laughed out loud. He used the blade to lift up the mask and blew on it forcefully, dispersing the ashes on it, revealing his original flesh-colored skin. What a good human skin mask. "
On top of the mountain, Sang Huihui was staring at the gray smoke coming from below, the high temperature was constantly rising along with the flowing air, the temperature on the mountain peak was as hot as a sauna.
Ah San's line of sight was only focused on Sang Huihui. Something must have happened since there was a fire at the bottom of the mountain and since Ye Cheng did not send any signal, he would not let Sang Huihui leave the mountain.
Both of them were looking at the pillar of fire. This was the first time they had seen such an intense flame. Did something happen? Sang Huihui was so worried that his heart began to ache. Let's go down and take a look! "
Ah San stood in front of Sang Huihui, blocking her way. "Without the boss's signal, you can't even go there."
"Maybe your boss has already gotten into trouble. Are we just going to sit here and wait for death?"
"You know the reason!"
Sang Huihui stared at Ah San, she knew his temperament very well. So you'll stop me in any way! "
"Yes sir!"
Sang Huihui compromised and then sat down on the ground. If anything happens to him, I will be the first one to make a joke on you! "
Wait!
When the smoke dissipated, there was no longer any stench in the air, and the two did not wait for Ye Cheng to arrive either. Instead, they waited for a cool breeze to blow, and dried off all the sweat on their bodies.
immediately followed suit and embraced Ye Cheng tightly. She impatiently kissed him, but the other party did not react at all.
Sang Huihui looked at Ye Cheng worriedly, and the words he wanted to ask stuck in his throat.
Mountain did not follow him back, Ah San had long noticed this. He clenched his fists, he had lost yet another good brother, a good family member.
"I'm sorry!"
The half-naked Ye Cheng struggled to spit out three words towards Ah San. In his hand was a bag of items, he took off his jacket and wrapped it around Big Mountain's corpse.
Ah San carried the corpse, walked to the side, and looked at his lonely back, Sang Huihui laid in Ye Cheng's embrace, and could not help but cry out in pain.
