1712 Once in purgatory, living is worse than death (1)
Tang Zhen felt his body become light the moment he charged out of the black water. The feeling of being free from his restraints was so carefree that he could not help but roar out loud.
he didn’t have time to look at his surroundings. he quickly stabilized his body in the air to avoid encountering other dangers.
It was only then that he realized that the air around him was filled with a rancid smell that made him want to vomit.
It was like the terrible smell of countless filthy garbage accumulated over the years. Because there was no discharge channel, it could only be accumulated in this world.
“Owwuuu!”
An angry roar came from above his head. It was the giant monster that had been chasing him all the way. At this moment, it had actually extended its head out of the black water and was ruthlessly biting towards Tang Zhen.
the monster’s huge head was the size of a house. when it opened its mouth, it looked extremely ferocious. tang zhen’s body was too small compared to it. he could not even fill the gaps between its teeth.
However, even if this was the case, the monster was still unwilling to give up. The eyes that it used to look at Tang Zhen were still filled with greed, as though he was the Supreme delicacy.
“You still dare to be arrogant even now, go to hell!”
Tang Zhen no longer had any scruples after escaping from the black water’s restraint. As he waved his right hand, a giant hand condensed from energy appeared and directly grabbed the black water monster’s head.
“Die!”
Following Tang Zhen’s furious roar, the giant energy hand grabbed the monster’s body and pulled it down violently.
The monster’s eyes were filled with fear. It struggled desperately to escape, but the giant energy hand was so powerful that it couldn’t break free.
Following Tang Zhen’s sudden burst of strength, the monster was forcefully pulled out of the black water. Its enormous body was like a collapsing mountain as it was ruthlessly thrown to the ground by the huge hand.
“BOOM!”
A muffled sound came from the ground, and the monster’s body fell to the ground, raising a cloud of black dust.
The monster’s body flipped a few times in the dust. It attempted to get up and escape, only to see Tang Zhen rushing down from the air. The battle blade in his hand ruthlessly hacked at the monster’s head.
Previously, it had been turned into a miserable state by this monster. Now that the tables had turned, it would be strange if Tang Zhen let it go!
Although the saber was only as tall as a person, the blade was hundreds of feet long. It drew an arc in the air and landed on the monster’s head.
With a shrill scream, the monster’s head and body were split in two. Stinky blood spurted out and instantly formed a pool on the ground.
The monster’s head kept opening and closing in the dust, tearing at the dust on the ground. It was still extremely fierce.
At this time, it was already like a lamp without oil. After struggling a few times, it no longer moved.
Tang Zhen observed his surroundings. After confirming that there was no danger, he slowly descended from the sky.
Although the monster was completely dead, the flesh around its wound was still growing like wriggling maggots, making people feel creepy.
Just as Tang Zhen was prepared to take a closer look, he suddenly heard waves of hurried footsteps coming from his surroundings. Soon after, he saw many strange figures appearing and heading straight towards his location.
“Who is it? get out here!”
Tang Zhen lifted his battle blade and furiously roared. His gaze landed on the dark corners around him as a cold glint flickered in his eyes.
hehe, we’re just here to watch the fun. We don’t have any other intentions.
Someone quickly replied and walked out from the darkness. However, a trace of surprise flashed across Tang Zhen’s eyes when he saw the other party’s appearance.
This person was six to seven meters tall, his body was covered in scales, his waist was bent at a 90-degree angle, and he had three heads of different appearances on his back.
There was also an ugly head on his neck. One of his eyes had rotted away, and his mouth had rotted away to the point that his gums were exposed.
The four heads did not match their bodies at all, as if they were not their original bodies, but had just borrowed this shell and parasitized it.
At this moment, the three heads on its back were all stretching their necks and staring at the monster’s corpse on the ground. Saliva was constantly flowing down like a waterfall, looking extremely exaggerated.
“I’m so hungry, I want to eat!”
“It smells good, it smells so good!”
what are you hesitating for? let’s grab it together!
While drooling, the three heads were constantly urging the surrounding black shadows to rush up and snatch the monster’s corpse.
“All of you, shut up!”
The man with the bent back turned his head and roared behind him. Soon after, he looked at Tang Zhen and said with a smile, friend, did you just get thrown into the abyss of hell? ”
The man’s face was completely rotten. Although he tried to smile, he looked very ferocious.
“That’s right. What can I do for you?”
Tang Zhen nodded his head and admitted his origin.
The aura on his body was too obvious and was incompatible with the prisoners in the abyssal purgatory. The other party could tell his origin with a glance. Naturally, Tang Zhen did not have the need to hide it.
hehe, you killed a black water beast right after you arrived. It seems that you are not weak.
First, he praised and revealed a reminiscing expression. Then, the rotten-faced man continued, ” “However, I want to give you a piece of advice. In the purgatory abyss, if you don’t need to consume earth and heaven energy, you’d better save it.
It won’t take long for you to understand how blissful it is to be able to possess heaven and earth energy.”
The rotten-faced man continued to size Tang Zhen up as he spoke. His eyes were filled with greed and vigilance.
Soon, he shook his head and sighed unwillingly. “In addition, you have to be careful. Newcomers like you are the favorite food of those old monsters. If you encounter them, you’d better leave immediately!
Once you’re caught, they won’t kill you, they’ll just put you in their stomach. They’ll only let you go when they’ve used up all your World Energy.”
Tang Zhen was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that such a thing would happen in the purgatory abyss. It seemed like this place was indeed a land of evil. Anything could happen here.
thank you for your reminder, but I’m very curious. Why are you telling me this? ”
“Hehehe, I just want to make a deal with you. After telling you this, I hope you won’t be stingy with your spoils of war and give me some of the beast’s flesh.”
“I see, no problem.”
Tang Zhen nodded. He gently waved the blade in his hand and a piece of flesh the size of a car was cut off. It was then sent flying in front of the man with a rotten face.
thank you, thank you. You’re so generous!
The rotten-faced man cupped his hands in thanks. Then, he drooled and rushed impatiently to the piece of flesh, devouring it madly.
After seeing this scene, the surrounding black shadows could no longer hold back. They screamed and pounced on the beast’s corpse.
“If you want to snatch it by force, you’ll have to see if the saber in my hand agrees!”
After seeing the rotten-faced man’s reaction, Tang Zhen also understood the value of this ferocious beast’s flesh and blood. When he saw the surrounding black figures trying to snatch it, he did not hold back and attacked.
A blade light flashed and the black shadows that tried to rush toward the fierce beast’s corpse were cut in succession. Strange screams were endless.
During the process of the battle, Tang Zhen discovered that these black figures were actually like walking corpses. The surface of their bodies was extremely festering. As they walked, rotten flesh, pus, and blood continuously dripped down. Some people’s bodies had simply rotted to the point that only a skeleton was left.
This scene, which was like an Asura hell, caused Tang Zhen’s heart to become increasingly alert. There was no need to guess to know that they were all unlucky fellows who had been thrown in.
Even though he was sighing in his heart, his movements did not slow down at all. His blade was faster than ever, and he cut down all the zombies and skeletons that were charging at him.
This time, he listened to the rotten-faced man’s warning and did not use the power of a cultivator at all. Instead, he resisted the enemy with his physical strength alone.
When the carrion skeletons saw that they were unable to break through Tang Zhen’s defense, each and every one of them let out a desperate and crazy roar. They actually no longer pounced towards the ferocious beast’s corpse but instead rushed towards him.
Tang Zhen had no fear on his face as he slashed with the saber in his hand. The corpses around him piled up like a small mountain.
Fortunately, these rotting corpses and skeletons only knew how to use brute force. Even if they were to surge over endlessly, Tang Zhen could still easily deal with them even if he was alone.
The rotten-faced man next to them would also attack them from time to time, ruthlessly smashing them away so as not to affect his eating.
