Chapter 115: Cunning Giant Tentacle Worm
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lin Yan reached into the bag at his waist and took out a bundle of hemp rope. He had specially brought it with him so that he could move some of the things he had discovered out of the ruins.
He walked to the woman’s statue that had been dismantled into seven or eight pieces and pulled the rope. He tied them one by one into a string and carried them with one hand. The weight was quite suitable.
He did not bring any tools like shovels, so it was inconvenient for him to dig up the piled soil. Coupled with the roar of the monster in the statue just now, he planned to leave first.
Just as he was pulling the string of statue pieces, he suddenly saw the carvings on the ground from the corner of his eye. His hand suddenly stopped.
In the third painting that depicted the battlefield, the strange person who was lying at the soldier’s feet with his chest cut open and his mouth grinning to the corners of his eyes was gone!
It was literally gone.
On the entire engraving, the location of the strange smiling man had turned smooth. It was empty, as if the strange man Lin Yan had seen previously was an illusion!
…..
Lin Yan’s scalp went numb. The carving was dead. How could it suddenly disappear?
Could he have seen it wrongly? Was he hallucinating?
Lin Yan’s gaze was like lightning as he scanned the other carvings. Suddenly, his gaze focused and his heart raced.
On the half of the seventh painting, a figure suddenly appeared above one of the three originally empty lotus platforms. It was the strange person with a strange smile!
Its posture changed from lying down to floating in midair. It had a terrifying strange smile and a strange mouth. It was ferocious and strange as it faced Lin Yan, as if it was about to break out of the wall in the next second.
Lin Yan subconsciously clenched his fists and stared at the strange person. “Could it be that it’s not dead at all? Did it run over by itself?”
This strange smiling man’s expression was too terrifying. Unknowingly, many scenes from horror fictions appeared in Lin Yan’s mind.
“No, that’s not right…”
Lin Yan forcefully suppressed the instinctive fear in his heart and isolated all kinds of terrifying associations. He only used pure rational logic to think.
“I can’t think about ghosts. Then it can only be… something is messing with me!”
Lin Yan’s mind raced. He threw away the rope in his hand and formed claws with his hands. He suddenly grabbed a thick red wooden beam and shouted softly.
The beam that weighed hundreds of kilograms was instantly lifted by him. Smoke and dust scattered in all directions, and various miscellaneous items fell chaotically. The entire ruins-like palace shook slightly.
“How pretentious!”
Lin Yan’s eyes were filled with killing intent. He treated the huge beam pillar as a huge rod and swung it fiercely at the seventh half-exposed carving!
Excluding ghosts and gods, there was only one possibility. Something had moved the strange smiley man from the third to the seventh painting!
The pillar carried a huge force and lifted countless clouds of dust, landing on the painting.
Lin Yan’s wrist vibrated, and a glint flashed across his eyes as he felt the backlash.
This feeling did not feel like solid ground at all. The beam directly sank into the painting, which meant that the back of the painting was hollow!
There was indeed something up to no good!
The pillar smashed deeply into the painting, and he could vaguely see a deep flat cave behind it, but he did not hit anything.
Then, he recalled that the strange smiling man had come up from the third painting…
It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Lin Yan’s mind. “Not good, it’s a diversion!”
The moment his thoughts fell, there was a loud bang and the third painting suddenly exploded.
Lin Yan only had time to raise the beam in his hand to his chest before a huge black shadow suddenly rushed out of the third painting and slammed into the beam in his chest like a galloping horse.
BANG!
Like the sound of metal clashing, a huge force attacked. Lin Yan subconsciously took a step back, and the ground under his feet instantly cracked.
“I failed to block the attack…”
Lin Yan felt a cold pain in his chest. Several extremely thin and sharp objects pierced through the beam into his chest!
BANG!
A huge force surged into his right leg and stepped on the beam in front of him with a thousand pounds of force. The beam broke with a sound and was suddenly sent flying. The strange black shadow opposite him was also sent flying by his foot.
Lin Yan took two steps back and brushed past his chest. The layer of scale armor did not have any blocking effect and was directly pierced through.
Blood gushed out of four holes the size of cups, dyeing the clothes on his chest scarlet.
He felt a lingering fear. If not for the pillar protecting him, he would have been pierced through the chest or even torn apart.
Taking a deep breath of the poisonous fog, Lin Yan’s breathing froze slightly.
In front of him was an extremely strange creature. It was the size of a millstone and was covered in a green-black chitin carapace. It had a symmetrical spindle-shaped structure, like a chrysalis that had been magnified countless times.
Its shell was smooth and suffused with a cold luster. Its surface was filled with countless hard and protruding barbs. It did not look like a living creature at all.
However, in front of it were four extremely thick tentacles. The green muscles on them squirmed like octopus legs.
At the tip of each tentacle was a slightly bent bone spike as thick as a baby’s arm. It was nearly a meter long and extremely sharp. They had pierced through the beam and stabbed into Lin Yan’s chest.
At this moment, the tip of the bone spike was dyed red. As the tentacles squirmed, they formed a square formation and kept moving, aiming at Lin Yan.
Lin Yan’s heart raced. This creature was too strange. He couldn’t find its head anywhere. Even at the roots of the four tentacles, there was only a shell without any mouth or other body parts.
It was as if four tentacles had grown out of thin air on an iron shell.
Suddenly, one of the strange creature’s tentacles flicked. The bone spike shot out like bows and arrows, stabbing straight at Lin Yan’s face.
However, this speed was not fast compared to Lin Yan. He dodged to the side and not only did he dodge the bone spike, but he also retreated at the same speed of the bone spike. He reached out and grabbed the bone spike.
It felt cold and dangerous to the touch. It was powerful, but it was weaker than him!
The monster immediately sensed danger and suddenly retracted its tentacles.
However, Lin Yan’s hand was like an iron hoop as he grabbed the bone spike firmly. The monster could not retract it at all.
Hence, its other three tentacles shot out crazily, piercing through the air and shooting at Lin Yan from three directions.
Lin Yan was unmoved. He firmly grabbed the bone spike in his hand and waved it as a weapon, easily knocking away the other three bone spikes.
Then, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. He grabbed the root of the bone spike with both hands and his blood energy surged. The veins on his arms bulged as he shouted with brute force.
Pa!
The bone spike was forcefully severed by him!
“Hehehe…”
The monster was clearly in pain. Its entire body actually trembled, and an extremely sharp strange cry came from inside, as if two blades were rubbing against each other.
Lin Yan even saw several irregular cracks on the surface of the monster’s body before they were sealed again.
“In other words, there’s still a structure inside…”
He would take advantage of its weakness to take its life!
Lin Yan’s figure was like lightning. Relying on his extremely fast speed, he instantly arrived behind the monster without tentacles. He raised the bone spike in his hand and stabbed down.
Suddenly, the monster’s miserable cries and trembling stopped.
Two terrifying saber beams suddenly lit up, like a hunter who had been waiting for a long time. They shot out straight at Lin Yan’s head!
Lin Yan’s hair stood on end. His heart almost stopped for a moment. He had fallen into another trap!
However, his reaction was abnormally fast. The blood energy in his entire body was instantly stretched to the limit, and his feet almost shattered the entire ground. He forcefully stopped his movements and took a step back.
“Hiss!”
His chest felt bone-chilling.
Lin Yan was drenched in sweat. This retreat prevented him from being struck in the head, but there were two crossed knife marks on his chest that were so deep that his bones could be seen. His flesh was rolled up, and one could vaguely see his internal organs..
