He Comes From the Void

Chapter 3: Under the abyss

   Looking at everything beyond understanding, Keisha overturned her previous cognition that the underground world is not dim.

   But the light in front of her didn't feel very good to her. She couldn't say how strange it was, but there was always a kind of anxiety like a vulture circling in her heart.

  The ghostly purple shimmer is emitted from the wall of the cave, and the luminous dents are arranged in parallel perpendicular to the ground, just like a purple fluorescent heart emitting segmental light through the ribs. The light is dim, as if it is separated by a layer of fascia, unable to see the essence.

   A tunnel with ribs on both sides, the young Keisha couldn't help but think so.

   But what creature has such long ribs? It seems that it would be more appropriate to say that you are in a huge pupa.

   Kesha pursued the light all the way down, eating the scattered water bags and rotten peaches previously found in the ruins while walking.

   This is exactly what she needs. After suffering three days of hunger, now anything that can be eaten is precious to her.

   Kane is still following her like a ghost, but after all, he is not as light as Kesha, and he is gradually pulled away.

He was carrying a few kilograms of food and water, holding a spear that was a little heavy for a ten-year-old, and dragging a crippled body, and he had to keep his voice down as much as possible to prevent Keisha from discovering... It was already very reluctant to keep up with her.

   But he didn't dare to stop Keisha out loud, for fear that she would miss her adventure and lead her destiny to a lifeless ending.

   He prayed to Nasus in the dark, praying that they could see Shurima's sun again.

   Although he knew it was useless, Nasus lost himself in the yellow sand at this time, where could he hear the prayer of a child.

   Thinking of the danger he was about to face, Kane felt that it was better to count on Nasus than to count on a sudden "ding" in his head to activate some system.

   But he quickly abandoned these unrealistic ideas, because if he didn't keep up, he might be lost.

   The end of the spear was stuck on the hard ground, leaving no trace even.

   Kane noticed that the rocks under his feet were very smooth and flat. The reason for the formation was not the flow of lava, but because the things came and went flat.

   He knows what it is...

   Void creature, what he will face next, is at the end of this tunnel.

  ...

   At the end of the tunnel is a huge cave that suddenly opens.

   Here, the light is more concentrated and bright, and the swaying ghostly purple light illuminates the entire cave.

  The tunnel under the foot twisted and circled here, and then branched out to other places.

   Up, down, extending in all directions.

   Above Kesha's head is a spiral passage, and it may be possible to climb out along the steep narrow path that protrudes like a spine class.

   Just as she thought of this, there was a commotion not far below her body.

"what is that…"

   She subconsciously covered her mouth, her eyes followed the steeply sinking slope, and she saw a large group of creatures rustling under the abyss.

  Naturally, it is impossible to give birth to such a weird and ugly existence. Just looking at it can make people feel nauseous and fearful.

   Clusters of needle eyes with warm purple light staring straight at her, more complicated than the stars in the sky.

   They are like creatures from another world, their distinct limbs hooked onto the edge of the abyss, dragging out a weird and terrifying body.

   The structure of these creatures is primitive and terrifying, covered with rough purple-black armor pieces, protruding bones, and the flesh and blood glowing with the pale white color of a stillborn baby.

   On the hard gums, there are fangs that are as dense as combs but are jagged. The blood basin has cracked to the throat, and the dirty sticky saliva is revealed.

   Corresponding to the huge diamond-shaped head is their connected chest and abdomen and protruding spine, which contains what can be called the heart biologically.

   But that is not the real heart, but a mass of energy exuding ancient purple light. The ghostly and vicious purple light illuminates the rock wall through the fascia between the chitin carapace.

   "It's a monster!"

   Keisha suddenly remembered the terrible stories that her father had told her.

   The underground world is full of monsters, lurking in the dark, dragging down the passing travelers. So far no one can return without change.

   Before, she only regarded it as a story, but when they were placed in front of her alive, hunger was replaced by fear again!

   This group of evil void creatures had already discovered Kesha. Driven by endless hunger, with an uncomfortable urge to kill, they climbed the **** and swarmed towards the girl.

   Keisha clenched the dagger in both hands, trying to protect herself.

   A monster about the size of Keisha jumped up first. The young Keisha repelled the ugliness in front of him from the inside out, and with the coordination that he had never had before, he thrust the dagger out of his hand with all his strength.

   She was thrown to the ground, and the bladed limbs easily slashed the delicate skin of Kesha's forearm, splashing blood on the chitin shells of the surrounding monsters, and was greedily absorbed.

   But at the same time, the blade of the dagger in her hand also accurately pierced the pulsating heart of the monster's glimmer.

   The monster swooping brought a huge impact and pushed her to slide onto the slope, both rolling down the depths of the abyss.

The long overdue Kane only had time to see Kesha rolling down at the entrance of the cave. He widened his eyes as if he saw an invisible rope. Lived between the waists of the two.

   And the rope called Destiny suddenly tightened, pulling his body and starting to run forward.

   He burst out of the tunnel at an unprecedented speed, before the sickle feet that popped out on both sides cut off his knees, he rushed through the dense swarms of insects and rushed down the abyss.

   It's just that he didn't know how steep the **** was under his feet. After a short flight, he fell heavily on the hard rocky ground and rolled down the abyss in a very embarrassing manner.

  ...

   Kane was awakened by the new pain. When he wanted to sit up on the ground, he found that his left arm had no other feedback except the pain.

   Fortunately, the ribs did not break anymore, but the slightly improved lungs were squeezed and started to cough up blood.

   But these are not the most important, the most important is Keisha...

   The unconscious Keisha was lying in the corner of his eye, beside the monster whose heart had been pierced.

   The things in its chest have dimmed, no longer exuding the rhythmic purple light like breathing.

   According to Kane's knowledge of void creatures, this monster is already dead.

   Kane moved his knee directly, and what he saw next made him breathe so fast that he almost coughed up blood-Keisha's injured forearm was covered with a strange skin.

   The breastplate that originally belonged to a monster is now firmly attached to her forearm!

   "After enduring for three days, this step... finally succeeded!" Although the whole process was hidden, Kane had an unparalleled sense of participation, as if he was the person who completed the symbiosis now.

   He was in tears with excitement. If his body didn't allow it, he would wait to roll on the ground to celebrate his hard-won first step.
