From Zero to Hero in the Doomsday - Chapter 1053
Chapter 1053 Devil’s Cave Illusion
“Don’t leave me, honey …”
Wang Ran suddenly felt like a mental illness. She dashed towards quicksand without care for herself. Quicksand had just swallowed up dozens of wealthy men. If her small body were to pounce in, she would probably not even be able to pounce on the sand and would be swallowed by the terrifying quicksand in one mouthful.
“Quickly come back …”
Chen Guangda suddenly flew over. At the same time that Wang Ran’s foot fell into the quicksand, he suddenly grabbed Wang Ran’s arm and pressed her to the ground. Who knew that the suction force of the quicksand was so great that he could not even pull Wang Ran with his strength. Instead, Wang Ran pulled him into the quicksand.
“Darling! Please don’t go with her, I can’t live without you …”
Wang Ran didn’t know that he was in a desperate situation. He actually cried out in pain, as if he had told all the secrets hidden in his heart. However, Chen Guangda suddenly pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it into the ground. Only then could he stop his sliding body.
“Hurry up and wake up …”
Chen Guang shouted loudly. He didn’t understand why Wang Ran had suddenly become like this. Even if he was captivated by the big-headed ghost, he wouldn’t lose all his mind. It seemed that Wang Ran’s state had completely collapsed. This was not something that could be accomplished with just an illusion.
“Quickly let go of her, you will die …”
A loud shout suddenly came from behind. Lin Na staggered to his side. Unexpectedly, she suddenly staggered and tumbled onto the quicksand. Half of her body sank into quicksand and she almost hugged a big rock.
“Lin Na …”
Chen Guangda cried out in horror, but he didn’t dare to let go of Lin Na. Once he let go of the dagger, he would be sucked into quicksand with Wang Ran. However, Lin Na couldn’t hold on any longer. Her hands that were holding the big stone kept sliding backwards. She immediately cried out loudly, “Help! Help me!”
“Hold on! I’m coming …”
Chen Guangda hurriedly used his strength to pull Wang Ran back. However, the suction force of quicksand was too great. It was useless for him to pull Wang Ran’s arm. He could only look at Wang Ran guiltily and slowly let go of his left hand that was pulling Wang Ran.
“Quickly let go of her, hurry up …”
Lin Na shouted with a naked face. Her body was also being devoured by quicksand. However, Chen Guangda grabbed Wang Ran’s wrist and looked at Lin Na in shock. Based on his understanding of Lin Na, even if Lin Na was sucked into quicksand, he would never let Wang Ran go.
“Damn it! You’re hallucinating …”
Chen Guangda suddenly glared at Lin Na fiercely. He abruptly used his shoulder to hold the dagger that was stuck in the ground. He directly used both of his hands to grab Wang Ran, who was getting deeper and deeper into the ground. However, Lin Na cried out in pain, “Help me! I’m not an illusion! I’m almost unable to hold on!”
“Bah ~ Fuck you …”
Chen Guangda directly spat out. Lin Na immediately screamed miserably. She was sucked in by quicksand and disappeared instantly. Who knew that Ba Tu would also crawl over at this moment and shout at him, “Hurry up and give me your hand! Hurry up!”
“Hallucinations! They’re all hallucinations …”
Chen Guangda didn’t even look at Ba Tu. He roared in anger. However, he was thinking about what the hell he had encountered. This kind of killing method was not like the Big-headed Ghost’s routine. It could even be said that normal mutated living corpses wouldn’t do this. They wouldn’t be able to eat people in quicksand.
‘Done? How could it be done …’
Chen Guangda was suddenly stunned. He actually discovered that Wang Ran’s body was dry. Even his own body did not show any signs of moisture. This meant that even the heavy rain was an illusion. He also realized that the reason for their abnormal appearance was probably due to the sand that they had eaten into their mouths.
“Work! Bastard …”
Chen Guangda immediately went all out to activate the Black Corpse Bugs in his body. No matter how hard he tried, the Black Corpse Bugs were as quiet as hibernating. When he remembered that this was the place where the Black Cloud Demon Cave had once appeared, he immediately cursed angrily, “Bastard! You want me to sink in too, right? It’s not that easy!”
“Vomit ~”
Chen Guangda suddenly stabbed his finger into his throat for a while, causing a violent feeling of vomiting to surge up. He immediately lay on the ground and spat out loudly. However, he soon discovered that the vomit was indeed mixed with a large amount of yellow sand. In other words, the rainwater he had swallowed before was all sand.
Suddenly! Just as Chen Guang was about to spit out the yellow gallbladder water, the surrounding scenery changed once again. The sand dunes and quicksand were all gone. Instead, they were replaced by a black gravel beach. Even quicksand had turned into a deep pit the size of a basketball court, giving him a feeling of returning to reality.
“Hiss ~”
Chen Guangda suddenly took a deep breath. It turned out that Wang Ran was lying on the edge of the pit. Only his arms were still hanging on the edge of the pit. Moreover, what was pulling her was not suction at all, but countless charred black living corpses. They were like grape skewers, hanging on Wang Ran’s legs and pulling her down forcefully.
Chen Guangda couldn’t believe his eyes. He had never seen so many living corpses before, except when he met the millions of corpses in Black Mountain City. When he looked down from the edge of the pit, it was as if he was lying on the roof of a stadium. He was peeking at a concert filled with spectators. The crowd below was full of human heads, and it was as crowded as a can of caviar.
It was unknown if the pit was more than a thousand meters deep. Apart from the stench emitted by the living corpses, there was also a strong smell of sulphur. It was as if this place was going straight to hell. The entire pit was a purgatory gate that they had accidentally opened. Once it fell, not even bones would be left.
“Hurry up and wake up …”
Chen Guangda suddenly slapped Wang Ran on the face. Wang Ran’s nosebleed flew out in an instant. However, Wang Ran was suddenly stunned. He subconsciously lowered his head and saw that there were a large number of living corpses hanging on his feet. Many of them were crawling up the wall of the pit.
“Ah …”
Wang Ran finally let out a hysterical scream and kicked the zombies on his feet like crazy. The zombies below immediately collapsed like a collapsed ancient pagoda. Countless zombies smashed into the endless army of zombies below, instantly stirring up a wave of black people.
“Hurry up! Pick your throat and spit it out. The sand here is poisonous …”
Chen Guangda quickly pulled Wang Ran up. Wang Ran immediately lay on the ground and vomited wildly. However, the reason why Wang Ran was hit last was probably because she didn’t swallow much sand. However, when she stumbled up from the ground, she immediately looked at the pit and said in shock, “This … What the hell is this place?”
“Black Cloud Demon Cave! A real Black Cloud Demon Cave …”
Chen Guangda looked down at the pit without blinking his eyes. There were simply too many living corpses squeezed into the bottom of the pit. They were like mice trapped in plastic barrels, constantly climbing up and falling down. The abrupt wall of the pit did not give them a chance to climb out. However, Chen Guangda quickly discovered that this was not a natural pit.
“This rock wall is so strange, why are there so many patterns …”
Wang Ran held onto Chen Guangda in shock. There were many complicated patterns carved on the wall of the pit. Some of them were like exquisite vines, while others were like some ancient characters. However, there were still more distorted patterns that were irregular and confusing.
“Heavens! Look at those living corpses’ clothes …”
Wang Ran suddenly cried out in alarm, but Chen Guangda had already frowned. Not only were there living corpses at the bottom of the pit dressed in modern clothes, there were also a large number of living corpses dressed in ancient costumes and armor. Even their hairstyles were typical of the ancient people. Moreover, there were clothes for each dynasty, which seemed to have lasted for over a thousand years.
“What kind of place is this? Why are there so many ancient people …”
Wang Ran hid behind Chen Guangda with a frightened expression, but Chen Guangda said in a deep voice, “Do you feel that this place is like a huge tomb? These people are like burial objects, and it keeps pulling people, pulling down all living people who dare to come near it!”
“Could it be the real Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang …”
Wang Ran forcefully bit his red lips and forgot to let go. However, Chen Guangda shook his head gently. He did not understand history and could not guess randomly. However, he still said, “Regardless of whether it was a mausoleum or not, the people who built this place were extremely vicious. It created an illusion that humans would fall into the trap. The more people who found this place, the more they would die!”
“Boom ~”
Suddenly! The ground trembled for no reason. Chen Guangda immediately pulled Wang Ran back a large step. Who knew that the huge hole would slowly close. The seemingly hard rock wall suddenly became as elastic as candy bars. In the end, it completely closed the hole in front of the two of them without leaving any traces behind.
“This … How is this possible? This is land …”
Wang Ran could not close his mouth for a long time. However, Chen Guangda carefully took a few steps forward and stomped his foot on the spot where the hole was. However, the feeling of hardness was no different from that of ordinary ground. He could not even find a crack. It was as if nothing had happened. They were just dreaming.
“Are you sure that wasn’t our hallucination just now …”
Wang Ran looked at Chen Guangda with a deathly pale face, but even Chen Guangda was starting to feel a little absent-minded. However, when he turned around, he suddenly discovered that the unconscious Ba Tu and the others were faintly awakening. As he had guessed, Lin Na was lying on the ground in a daze and did not move at all.
“Let’s leave this damned place first. This place is too evil …”
Chen Guangda hurriedly pulled Ba Tu and the others up. He waved his hand and didn’t explain to them. He walked directly to the horses they were parked not far away. There wasn’t anything unusual about these horses, but Chen Guangda suddenly discovered that they had passed by this place at least an hour ago. In other words, they had been recruited early.
