Chapter 502 - 322: Demon God (2)
Millian showed a slight smile and said:
"Dean is a member of the Ancient Dark Church Court."
After hearing the answer, Lin Lang blinked at Zou Zhiruo, his eyes filled with a hint of gratitude.
Zou Zhiruo’s face flushed slightly, and she turned her head shyly.
Meanwhile, Wang Tiezhu witnessed this scene and felt very unhappy. He glared at Lin Lang fiercely, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
The group rested briefly and continued to move deeper into the island.
...
Millian led the group as they groped forward along a rugged path, the surrounding environment becoming increasingly ghastly and terrifying, with the air filled with a nauseating stench of decay.
Just as the group was mentally and physically exhausted, a massive cave entrance appeared ahead.
The cave loomed like a giant beast’s gaping maw, the dark opening exuding a chilling aura, as if it could devour people.
The group approached the cave.
There lay several corpses of Fierce Beasts scattered in disarray at the entrance.
These Fierce Beasts were enormous, hideous in appearance, and even in death, the aura of ferocity surrounding them had yet to dissipate.
Their fatal wounds were all inflicted by a single blow, with smooth, clean cuts, clearly the work of a master.
...
"It seems Tono Taro has already been here before us."
Millian squatted down, carefully examining the wounds on the beasts, and slowly said.
Dean furrowed his eyebrows slightly, a hint of urgency flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"In that case, we need to hurry. If he finds it first..."
However.
Millian seemed quite composed. She lightly shook her head, a meaningful smile curving her lips, and said:
"No need to rush, he alone is not enough."
Dean, hearing Millian’s words, felt his tension ease slightly.
"Should we go in?"
Zou Zhiruo tightened her grip on her sword, a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Of course!"
Millian, without any hesitation, entered the cave!
Seeing this!
The group followed Millian into the cave cautiously.
...
Inside the cave was pitch black, hands invisible before one’s face, the group having to proceed with the aid of dim light.
The ground beneath their feet was uneven, with loose stones occasionally rolling down, producing a crisp sound. The air emanated a damp, mildewed smell, causing nausea.
Walking in the middle of the group, Lin Lang quietly activated the Eye of Destiny, warily observing the surroundings—
He could feel a powerful, evil force lurking within the cave, stirring, as if waiting for their arrival...
...
The group, feeling uneasy, entered the cave; the dim light made the atmosphere seem even more oppressive.
Millian walked at the front, her steps steady, her eyes revealing a confident calm, as if she knew every corner here like the back of her hand.
Natalia keenly sensed Millian’s unusual composure, a foreboding feeling rising in her heart.
She quickened her steps, moved to Millian’s side, and in a low voice asked:
"Millian, do you know what’s inside here? Why are you acting so composed?"
Millian’s lips curled slightly, displaying a mysterious smile. She stopped, turned, gazing over the group, and slowly said:
"Since we’ve already gotten this far, it doesn’t matter if I tell you. Sleeping within here is an ancient Demon God—"
"The Source of Fear: Sespeck!"
...
"Demon God?!"
Upon hearing the term, the group’s faces turned deathly pale, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.
A Demon God, a demon akin to a God, wielding world-destroying power, the mere thought sending chills down one’s spine.
"No, we need to get out immediately; we can’t stay here to die!"
A man shouted in terror, turning to run back.
However, he only took a few steps before stopping, a look of despair on his face.
The cave’s paths were treacherous and dim!
They could no longer find their way back!
Millian, seeing the group’s panic-stricken expressions, continued unhurriedly:
"There’s no way out anymore, the demon is about to awaken. If you want to survive, you must head to the Demon God Hall, assist me in completely sealing the demon. Only then do we have a sliver of hope."
Hearing Millian’s words, the group was filled with fear and hopelessness.
Some sat on the ground, holding their heads in their hands, at a loss.
Others exchanged helpless, bewildered glances.
Xina and Natalia also felt a wave of panic, but they suppressed their fear, looking towards Lin Lang.
Lin Lang remained calm, not a trace of panic on his face.
He merely narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze deep, as if pondering something...
Seeing Lin Lang’s composure, Xina and Natalia felt much more at ease.
They knew Lin Lang possessed great strength and a calm mind; as long as he was there, perhaps they could indeed overcome this crisis.
...
The group cautiously proceeded through the dark and narrow tunnel, each step difficult on the uneven ground.
All was silent around them, only their light footsteps and heavy breaths echoing in the tunnel.
After an unknown amount of time, a glimmer of light appeared in the darkness ahead, causing a spark of joy in them, prompting them to quicken their pace.
As they exited the tunnel, the scene opened up, revealing a majestic Demon God Hall before them—
This was a giant stone space!
The towering ceiling, the walls inscribed with various mysterious and terrifying carvings, seemed to recount ancient legends.
