Chapter 1322 - Pipe Shock
Chapter 1322: Pipe Shock
“What kind of monster is that?”
Meng Chao and the Wolf King were both shocked.
Although the Turan people had a lot of beast-like characteristics, were over ten meters tall, and considered giants, they all had basic human forms.
It did not matter whether it was the Gold Clan’s wolves, tigers, and leopards, or the Blood Hoof Clan’s bulls and wild boars.
Even the Dark Moon Clan’s Lizardmen, crocodiles, and even snake-people looked like “Beast-like humans”at first glance, not “Half-human, half-beast monsters.”.
This was the reason why the Tulan people called themselves “High-level beastmen.”.
Apart from the wet fur that drooped down, the facial features of the monster in front of them shrunk together, and its head looked extremely pathetic, there was no sign of any human features.
Only the distorted warrior of origins who had lost control of his totem power would look so strange.
However, the warrior of origins would never run away from anyone.
Instead, he would pounce on anyone who smelled the scent of a living creature and fight like a mad demon.
“No matter if this thing is a human or a ghost, it must have lived in the sacred mountain temple for a long time.
“If we catch it, we might be able to find out the secret of the Sacred Mountain Temple!”
The two of them increased their speed.
Without realizing it, they crossed over a hundred tubes and gradually entered the complex maze.
Like two ants, they crawled into a sophisticated and huge rocket engine.
Suddenly, the gray shadow flashed and disappeared.
Meng Chao and Wolf King were about to accelerate and fly across a giant tube that was more than 20 meters in diameter in front of them.
However, they stopped abruptly above the pipe at the same time, and their heels scratched the pipe, creating sparks.
“How is this possible?”
Cold Sweat broke out on their foreheads at the same time, and they stared at the unbelievable scene in front of them with their mouths Agape.
Under their feet, in front of the giant pipe was a bottomless crevice.
No, the narrowest part of the crevice was more than 10 meters, and the widest part was nearly 100 meters in size. This was simply a rift valley buried deep under the Earth’s crust.
The crevice was like a bloody mouth, swallowing everything that should have existed in the sacred mountain temple — an intricate and large scale pipeline system, the surrounding walls and decks, and the fragmented holographic projection.
And on the other side of the crevice, they discovered the fragmented metal remains and the remains of the pipeline.
It was like, there was an invisible giant axe, forcefully splitting the ancient Tulan universe ship into two halves!
“This is not a holographic projection, but a real rock layer and abyss.”
Meng Chao threw a nail-sized stone into the depths of the rift.
He listened attentively to the sound of the stone clanging along the rock wall. After more than ten breaths, it didn’t reach the bottom of the rift.
He thought of the time when Dragon City had just transmigrated to another world. Because the two spaces had forcefully merged together, there were often spatial discontinuities and incompatibilities. The tall buildings of Dragon City and the lofty mountains of the other world intersected with each other, it was a mixed phenomenon.
Even within some large buildings on earth, a primitive jungle that originally belonged to another world suddenly appeared.
It was like the pieces that originally belonged to the two pieces of the jigsaw puzzle were mixed together by Wan Tong and then forcefully pieced together.
“It looks like the space fusion problem that the ancient Turan people encountered was even more serious than Dragon City.
“Their universe ship forcefully squeezed into the originally dense rock layer and was instantly crushed into pieces.
“Luckily within this rock layer, there are large amounts of caves, rifts, underground rivers and bubbles, allowing a portion of the cabins to remain relatively intact.
“However, the remains of the universe ship have also fused with the geological structure deep within the rock layer, it’s like they were poured into reinforced concrete, they can no longer be separated, it’s even more impossible for them to return to the surface.”
At this time, they saw the spider-like monster again.
The monster had already jumped onto the rock wall opposite the rift.
Using both hands and feet, it moved quickly on the rock wall as if it was flat ground.
As it crawled, it turned its head and stared at Meng Chao and Wolf King, crazily waving its thorny blade limbs at them.
It was unknown if it was because the spaceship from 10,000 years ago had a high speed friction and extremely violent reaction with the rock layer underground.
The rock layers in this area had a colorful texture that was like colored glass after high temperature melting and cooling.
Many of the rock layers even had a dazzling translucent texture, like beautiful crystal veins.
The rock layers emitted colorful lights, helping Meng Chao and the Wolf King to clearly scan the facial features and expressions of the human-faced spider.
It had to be said that no matter how deformed and ugly this monster’s body was, its facial expressions were exactly like that of a human.
Especially the pair of huge yellowish-brown eyeballs that took up almost one-third of the entire face.
Although the pair of vertical pupils that were embedded in the center of the eyeballs were like lizards, and there were large amounts of dark green blood capillaries on both sides of the pupils.
Meng Chao could still vaguely feel the humanity that this pair of strange eyes emitted — at least the light of carbon-based intelligent life.
That was not the light of a predator.
At least, not completely.
“What on Earth is it doing?”
Meng Chao and the Wolf King looked at each other.
They both discovered that when this monster jumped onto the cliff of the rift valley, or rather, when the human-faced spider left the range of the temple of the sacred mountain, it gradually calmed down. It did not continue to run, but instead climbed on the cliff wall.., it climbed around and around in a certain fixed path.
It was like a bee dancing according to the “8”pattern.
And it waved its blade limbs at the two people. It did not seem to be demonstrating, but..
“It seems to be telling us something?”
Meng Chao looked at the Wolf King with some uncertainty.
The Wolf King frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, “I’ll borrow your chains. I’ll jump over to take a look.”
A mere ten-meter-wide rift naturally could not trap powerhouses like Meng Chao and the Wolf King.
However, in order to prevent any strange things from appearing in the depths of the rift or traps set by the human-faced spider, Meng Chao still used the chain blade as a safety rope. He wrapped it around the Wolf King’s body three times before wrapping the other end around his arm.
The Wolf King gently stomped on the ground, testing the strength of the wall of the giant pipe under their feet that was more than twenty meters in diameter.
From the sound and touch of the feedback, the wall of the pipe was several times thicker than the other pipes because of its extremely thick thickness. The runes on it were extremely clear, and there wasn’t too much rust, it should be able to withstand his full force stomp.
The Wolf King and Meng Chao looked at each other.
Meng Chao raised his arm that was wrapped around the chain blade, indicating that he was ready to pull the wolf king back at any time.
The Wolf King took two steps back, took a deep breath, and suddenly exerted his strength. Then —
With a crack, the seemingly unrusted and incomparably solid wall of the pipe under their feet collapsed twenty to thirty meters in front and back.
Caught off guard, the two immediately fell into the pipe.
Logically speaking, with the agility of the two people, even if they were really in a prison, they could still step on the instep of their left foot and the instep of their right foot again, and then fly up into the air to escape.
However, this seemingly calm and peaceful giant pipe that did not make any sound or tremble, as if it had already been broken or blocked, was surging with spiritual energy like a flood or a ferocious beast.
Meng Chao and the Wolf King both felt that behind them, a giant beast that was a hundred times larger than the tyrant mammoth and the Barbarian Elephant Warriors, was kicking fiercely one foot after another.
In the depths of the pipe under their feet, there was an extremely strong suction force.
The spiritual energy that was rich in impurities penetrated into their totem battle armors through every pore, seeping into the depths of their limbs and bones, seriously interfering with the operation of their life magnetic field, causing their qi and blood to churn, they saw stars, and their ears were filled with the sound of wind and thunder. Every strand of muscle fiber seemed to be about to burst, unable to exert any force at all.
The two of them were like two mosquitoes that had been knocked unconscious by an electric mosquito and then thrown into a toilet bowl.
They could only drift along with the current and slide all the way into the depths of the pipeline!
Under the impetus of the spiritual essence, Meng Chao estimated that they had been accelerated to over a hundred kilometers per hour in just three to five seconds.
He barely spread out his fingers, trying to grasp the runes on the inner wall of the pipeline.
According to his observation, the inner and outer walls of all the pipes were engraved with dense runes, which played a role in promoting the reaction of spiritual energy, like some kind of accelerant.
As long as the indentation of the runes was as thick as a strand of hair around it, Meng Chao was confident that he could grasp it!
However, the inner wall of the pipe was unexpectedly smooth, as if it had been smeared with the most advanced mirror material and injected with a polymer lubricant. Meng Chao swore in the name of the reaper that he was not on the inner wall of the pipe, he could feel the slightest friction!
They slid faster and faster in the mirror pipe, sliding through countless spirals.
The huge centrifugal force almost threw their brains and internal organs out of their seven orifices.
Until their perception and spatial modeling abilities were outstanding, both of them were dizzy. The world was spinning, and they could not distinguish north, south, east, and west. They also did not know where they were.
They just wanted to find a place to spit out the breakfast they had three years ago.
The surging force behind their backs and the strong suction force under their feet finally weakened, weakened, and disappeared.
The violent hurricane turned into a small stream.
The two of them finally stopped at the bottom of a relatively smooth tube. They looked at each other in shock.
Before they could take a deep breath, they suppressed the churning internal organs.
Under their buttocks, there was a hair-raising creaking sound. It sounded like metal fatigue and cracking.
“I have a bad feeling.”
Meng Chao swallowed with difficulty. He did not even dare to move a finger.
“Me too.”
The Wolf King said faintly.
Before he could finish his sentence, there was another crack. The wall under their buttocks broke again.
The two people who were connected by the chain blades were like two grasshoppers on the same rope.. They dragged each other and fell heavily together!
