I Have A City In An Alternate World - Chapter 735
735 The corpse cave (1)
It was impossible to verify the exact time of existence of the corpse dumping hole that the Wanderers spoke of.
This was a corroded underground cave that was like a sinkhole. The surface of the ground was round and was about several hundred square meters in size. It had a large mouth and a large abdomen, and the inside was extremely deep!
Whenever someone died in the market or the corpses of monsters were killed, they would be thrown into the corpse hole to prevent the stench from rotting and causing the spread of diseases.
After a long time, countless bones had accumulated in the corpse cave, but it was never full!
!!
Whenever night fell, as long as one entered this place, they would hear countless cries, making one’s scalp tingle.
As for the entrance of the corpse cave, it would also turn dark green. The light would constantly flicker and jump, as if there was an inextinguishable flame burning all night.
Sometimes, one could even see huge green fireballs shooting out from the entrance of the corpse dump. They shot up into the sky rapidly and exploded when they reached an extremely high altitude!
With all these strange phenomena and the fact that people often jumped into the corpse dumping hole for no reason, rumors began to spread that there was an extremely terrifying monster hidden in the deepest part of the corpse dumping hole!
This monster could hook people’s souls and lure them into jumping in and becoming its food.
Regardless of whether the rumors were credible or not, the stench near the corpse cave was enough to make people retreat!
At this moment, the foreign cultivators who were responsible for carrying the corpses all pulled out a piece of cloth from their pockets and covered their mouths and noses.
After feeling that the pungent smell had lessened, they lifted the body and continued forward.
Tang Zhen’s brows furrowed as he sensed the stench in the air. He took out an underwater breathing insect from his pocket and directly covered his mouth and nose.
This was a new type of alien insect that had been selected and improved by Holy Dragon city’s researchers. Even if it was dehydrated, it could survive for months. Due to its powerful underwater breathing and filtering of poisonous gas, it had become the standard equipment of Holy Dragon city’s soldiers, together with the Scorpion alien insect that could spit out poisonous stingers and energy bombs.
As long as they lifted the sleeves of the Holy Dragon City soldiers, they would be able to see the parasitic insects on their arms that looked like flesh-cutting tattoos. Some soldiers even had more than one!
The alien insect laboratory hidden under the island in the middle of the lake had been expanded several times. A large number of scientific researchers and staff were working there to cultivate and optimize a large number of alien insects.
After putting on the underwater breathing monsters, the nauseating stench disappeared, and the slightly moist air kept entering his mouth and nose.
After activating the [ quantum invisibility light screen ] and disappearing from his original spot, Tang Zhen unhurriedly followed.
At this moment, the foreign cultivators were already close to the location of the corpse hole. Tang Zhen also saw a huge hole in front of him. Translucent waves of air were constantly spewing out from the hole as if it was boiling.
Not a blade of grass grew at the edge of the corpse dumping hole. The rocks were washed smooth by the wind and rain, and they were Scarlet in color.
Because the terrain was low, some thin water currents gathered here and then dripped into the corpse hole.
When the water flowed through the Crimson rock at the entrance, it would be dyed a light red, making the scene at the entrance of the corpse dump look like a giant’s wound that was constantly dripping blood!
Because of the funnel-like shape near the entrance of the cave, the grass soaked in water was too slippery, and they would fall into it if they were not careful. Therefore, the foreign cultivators stopped far away from the entrance.
Then, the foreign cultivators worked together to lift the body and throw it forward. The body flew a dozen meters away and landed heavily at the edge of the corpse hole.
The corpse rolled a few times on the grass, then slid directly into the hole and fell into the unfathomably deep corpse-dumping hole!
The other foreign cultivators did the same and threw the corpses over one after another before fleeing the area.
After the foreign cultivators left, Tang Zhen revealed himself and flew to the sky above the corpse cave.
Looking down from above, he saw that the corpse-dumping hole was so deep that he couldn’t see the bottom. Inside the pitch-black hole, there were balls of will-o’- the-wisps dancing and dancing like fireflies in the summer!
Tang Zhen looked for a moment before a trace of bewilderment suddenly appeared on his face. His body trembled and he suddenly charged toward the hole where the corpses were thrown.
At the same time, the [ monster detector ] was activated and covered the area under his feet.
Suddenly, the light dots representing the monsters quickly appeared in front of him, but the strange thing was that his mental power could not detect them!
At this moment, there were a few dots of light that represented monsters that were less than a hundred meters away from Tang Zhen. They were rapidly charging towards him.
Tang Zhen casually waved his hand upon seeing this. An incomparably dazzling light suddenly appeared, illuminating the surrounding several hundred meters until every single detail was clearly visible!
At the same time, a few mummified-like monsters with green faces and fangs and a pair of wings made of flesh membrane on their backs rapidly appeared before Tang Zhen.
Judging from the aura that this monster revealed, it should be a Lord-grade monster and not a big threat to Tang Zhen!
Because they had always lived in a dark environment, the monsters here were extremely afraid of strong light. Tang Zhen relied on the strong light released by him and immediately caused great damage to them.
The monsters let out a blood-curdling screech, and smoke rose from their pitch-black eye sockets. Then, their bodies began to roll in the air.
It was also at this moment that the soul annihilating saber appeared in Tang Zhen’s palm. It pulled out a Black Flame and directly slashed at the few monsters.
The Black Flame on the blade seemed to be sharper than the soul destroying saber itself. The moment it touched the monster’s body, it easily cut it into two!
Tang Zhen casually grabbed a monster’s corpse and kept it in his storage space. Then, he directly charged towards the next monster. With just a few flashes, these monsters were all killed!
It was likely that the sound earlier had alarmed the other hidden monsters. Tang Zhen only felt the sound of wings flapping in his ears.
This kind of monster flew silently, but now, it actually made such a clear sound. It was obvious that many similar sounds had gathered together.
Through the monster detector, he saw a large group of flying monsters approaching at high speed. There were nearly a hundred of them!
Tang Zhen’s eyes focused upon seeing this. He casually shook his hand at the spot where the monsters were the most concentrated. After which, a basin-sized black metal ball flew out.
After the black metal ball was shot out, it suddenly broke down into countless small metal balls the size of cantaloupes. They bounced around the corpse dumping hole and floated in the air evenly.
“Explode!”
Tang Zhen let out a low roar and quickly dodged into the dark World.
At the same time, the black balls suddenly split into countless right-angled Flying Daggers, like a rain of flowers, and began to attack indiscriminately!
For a moment, the air in the corpse cave was filled with sharp Flying Daggers. The sound of flesh being pierced was endless. At the same time, there were sparks of fire from the rocks being hit, like fireworks!
After these black Flying Daggers hit their target, they would quickly reform into a small black ball with one of the daggers as the core.
In less than a second, the Black Daggers seemed to have finished charging and then began a new round of indiscriminate attacks!
Under such a terrifying attack, the monsters in the air were unable to Dodge at all. In the blink of an eye, they were shot into sieves and their bodies were also scattered everywhere!
After doing this dozens of times, the entire corpse cave was filled with flying flesh and blood mist. The monsters ‘corpses also fell to the ground with a pitter-patter!
