he came from the void

Kane pushed the claws away and stood up to face the figure, about his own height, covered in a dread carapace.

"Laipi, can't you let me just once, I'm a girl!" Kaisha rarely realized that she was a girl, and acted softly like a girl.

But her voice was distorted through the chitin helmet—an animal crackle that sounded nothing like a human voice.

It was creepy, every word sounded like he was coughing up blood, and he didn't have the cute gesture of a little girl at all.

It was as if what should have been a melodious voice like an oriole had turned into a strange cry that was more deadly and terrifying than the cuckoo's singing of a blood poisonous snake.

Kane is really not blessed to endure such a terrible act like a baby, but he will not expose Kesha who wants to surprise him in every possible way in the boring life day after day.

He pointed to his ear to show that he couldn't understand.

"Oh, I forgot to speak clearly with the helmet on again."

Following her thoughts, the chitin armor of the helmet was lifted back, and folded one by one, like insects retracting their wings into the shell, revealing the hair, face, neck, and the unremarkable body in turn. career line.

"Don't think about it, I can't put away the mind net, unless..."

"Unless what?" Keisha asked curiously, this mind net can always accurately capture her movements, if it is not turned off, her pranks will never be successful.

"Unless we return to the ground, we don't have to worry about an attack that may come at any time." Kane said, pinching Kesha's cheek.

Whenever he saw her face exposed, he couldn't help reaching out to pinch her cheeks or rub the tip of her nose.

He thought it was fun, and Keisha enjoyed the touch of the human part.

"On the ground... I don't know if spring has arrived. I want to remember the fragrance of pastures again." Kaisha sighed with emotion, and then brought back the trophies she hunted alone.

A total of seven hearts were uniformly packed into the hollowed out diamond-shaped ethereal head, which was extremely crowded.

"Eat it, this is just breakfast today." Keisha said in a relaxed tone, as if what she handed over was just a bowl of tofu flower.

Kane was not pretentious, he stretched out the claws covered with skin armor and let it absorb it actively.

The skin armor was absorbed very quickly, and the speed of transformation was also very fast. Kane tilted his head, and clearly saw that the edge of the skin armor spread a few centimeters like the heart.

When he also completed full coverage, the two of them will try to move up to find the exit from this underground world.

"Kesha, do you want to go back to the surface?"

"Of course I think about it, I've been thinking about it in my dreams." Kesha sat down and said while recalling: "At our age, adults should start to be taken to shady valleys by adults to train us to use spears and bows..."

In the scattered villages on the edge of the Shurima desert, hunting and trading with nomadic tribes are the main source of food for the villagers.

Normally, a child of Kesha's age should be enjoying the warmth of his family, feeling the cruelty of the desert, and looking forward to the world after adulthood.

If a well-connected person like Kaisha can also follow the caravan led by his father on the vast Shurima continent, earning money while increasing his knowledge during travel.

But the void destroyed her life completely, they took her captive underground, and made her experience the darkness, cold and terror that ordinary people can't imagine.

Now she is far from that little girl back then, but when she thinks about her life on earth, she seems to be that little girl again.

Kane couldn't bear to break this innocence, which was one of the motivations for Kesha to live, but he knew that this was also a poison, and sooner or later it would break her heart.

"Kane, don't you want to go back?"

Facing Keisha's question, Kane's attitude was very cold.

"I think about it, but have you ever considered how the people on the ground will think of us? We will be regarded as monsters now."

Kane knew that the human beings on the ground were only afraid of their monster-like appearance, so he had consciously or unconsciously begun to inoculate Kesha psychologically.

When she survived from the void and wanted to integrate into human society but was extremely rejected, the piercing pain was enough to make her collapse.

"As long as we don't hurt them, they will understand us. After all, we are also victims of the void." Kesha raised her hand and propped her chin in thought, her claws easily sunk into her cheeks.

"I still advise you not to rush to appear in front of outsiders. I am trying to gather the void skin armor with my spiritual power. When I succeed, we will be able to return to the earth world in the appearance of humans, which will be safer."

In his vision, there should be some way to decompose the skin armor into the most basic substances, and then gather them in one place to hide, and expose the inside without damage.

Acts as if the host manipulated the venom.

Kane's gaze swept over Kesha, and she could feel her nails starting to itch, a tingling sensation as if the paranail thorns were being torn off in the opposite direction.

The inability to bring a comfortable feeling shows that Kane is still far from success.

"It's okay, you study yours, don't forget that I can be invisible, they must not see me."

After finishing speaking, Keisha put down her helmet, her skin armor rippled, and disappeared out of thin air right in front of Kane.

But in the web of consciousness, he can still perceive her position.

She was quietly approaching him, trying to touch him from behind, and then suddenly appeared jpg

Kane shook his head, dissatisfied that the topic ended like this.

Although Keisha was one year older, she was still an inexperienced girl. She thought many things too naively, and persuasion was useless, which made him feel helpless.

Sensing the invisible claws about to touch his shoulder, Kane reached out to intercept, but unexpectedly missed, which was a serious mistake for him.

The reason is that the sudden earthquake caused his hand to miss...

Chapter 21 Live animal sacrifice, see the abyss again!

"Earthquake? This is the first time I've seen it." Kaisha murmured as she emerged from nothingness, put away her helmet and looked at the source of the earthquake.

The Void Skin Armor has comprehensively strengthened her senses, and Kesha's sense of vibration is stronger than Kane's.

"I don't think it should be an earthquake..." Kane disagreed: "It stands to reason that such a strong shock should not only last for a moment, it feels like... like something fell."

"Just like we did at the beginning?" Keisha exclaimed, then calmed down, thinking of many possibilities.

"Will someone fall?"

"The void creatures should also feel it."

"It's better to go and have a look."

As she spoke, her purple eyes stared at Kane, her subtle expression full of layers of temptation.

For such emergencies, the choice lies with Kane, and Kaisha is not allowed to explore without his permission.

If something really collapsed, would humans appear like Kesha said?

This is what Kane is worried about. If the people who fall are human, they will not live for a day, but their few words before they die may directly destroy Keisha's innocence.

He originally wanted to slowly let her understand the cruelty and indifference of human society, but an unexpected incident disrupted his plan. Should he forcefully destroy this innocence now?

Kesha's eyes hurt him.

Forget it, if it's fate, then come on!

"Then go have a look."

Kane took Keisha's hand, and she couldn't wait to pull him towards the source of the earthquake.

……

"What—"

Arriving at the center of the epicenter, before entering the cave, Kane heard a familiar cry of animals coming from inside.

"It's a goat!" Keisha said in surprise, and then quickened her pace.

Goats are animals that are only found on the ground. As Kane expected, things on the ground fell down.

They walked into the cave and found that a large part of the dome of the cave had collapsed, and dozens of sheep were buried in the ruins below, most of which had fallen to their deaths on the spot.

Keisha was eager to jump down the slope to reach the goat below, but Kane didn't let her go, and one hand grabbed her arm tightly.

"Don't worry, look at what that is!"

He pointed to the deep terrain behind the ruins, the purple abyss, where the energy of the void constantly ebbed and flowed, occasionally stirring up ugly shapes.

Keisha was stunned. Although the abyss in front of her was less than one tenth of the size of the previous one, the majestic death energy made its existence irrefutable.

Really the kind of abyss they saw a year ago.

It is extremely dangerous to approach the abyss, Keisha immediately stopped her impulse.

"How could it be such a coincidence that the place where it fell happened to be near the abyss?"

The situation in front of them puzzled Kesha. When they fell, there was no abyss around the ruins.

This may not be a coincidence...

"Kesa, will the sheep prepared by the village be taken to a specific place for sacrifice?" Kane felt that to figure out the relationship, even if he already knew who led these tragedies, it didn't mean that he would practice Reasoning is pointless.

Maybe he can figure out the sacrificial rules and intentions of those cultists?

Then he knew a little more about their common enemy.

"I don't know, but the goats that were prepared that night were no longer in the pen the next day. They must have been taken away by those strangers."

Watching the goat Kesha in the ruins recalls some folk customs that she didn't understand.

—hanging a bouquet of moon pearls on the stove, dancing under the new moon, praying to Nasus for the prosperity of the family and people, or leaving a few sheep outside the door to satisfy the appetites of wild beasts.

What made her terrified was that if she interpreted the customs that she didn't understand at the beginning, many terrible things would be revealed.

Could it be that those goats are here to satisfy the appetites of wild beasts in exchange for peace?

No, that's ringing the bells for void creatures to eat!

Those cults have never intended to sacrifice for peace, they have been luring void creatures to the surface!

This discovery made Kesha terrified, as if struck by lightning.

"We need to hurry up and tell people the truth! Let them stop listening to those cults. Everything they do is harming others and themselves!"

She looked up at the collapsed cave dome, as if trying to get back to the surface through there.

But Kane immediately poured cold water on her and forced her to calm down.

"Use your brain before you do something, okay, how do you tell the people on the ground? If it were you, would you believe in a person who looks like a monster? Or a monster like a person?"

"Don't forget how we were thrown down in the first place? Isn't it because we didn't prepare the sheep for sacrifice and didn't complete the task of the cult, so we were thrown into the ground by magic. If those people openly resist the cult, they will end up with the same We were exactly the same back then.”

"Also, take a closer look. There is a dead end above the ruins. The ground split and then closed again. There is no way to go!"

Kane's denial trifecta knocked Kesha to pieces, her enthusiasm extinguished, and she now feels like a complete fool of herself a second ago.

"Then what do you say?" Keisha pouted aggrievedly, she racked her brains and couldn't think of any other way.

"What are you thinking about now? Look at the height of the dome, at least hundreds of thousands of meters high, which shows that the void creatures are still some distance away from the surface, and the sheep thrown from above are not enough to lure them up. As long as people are obedient , then they are safe for the time being.”

No living people were found in the ruins, and Keisha was prevented from contacting living people, Kane was relieved.But he didn't dare to relax too much, after all, it was a hurdle Kesha would have to face sooner or later.

"Then what about these goats..." The goats in the ruins were still struggling and screaming, and their screams touched Keisha's heart.

"Of course I ate it." Kane licked his lips, he had been craving these mutton for a long time.

one Year!Do you know how he got here this year?

Now that he is growing up, he naturally has a strong desire for meat. When he saw these goats waiting to be slaughtered, his long-silent stomach began to pound his heart.Wave after wave, the bell of the decisive battle rang.

"Ah? Goats are so cute, how can you eat them?"

Kesha didn't expect Kane to come up with such a devilish idea, this lonely and miserable underground world finally came to some docile living creatures, and he actually wanted to eat them!

Kane raised his eyebrows: "Don't tell me you haven't eaten mutton, you eat it every year and festival. I still remember you showing off in front of us with the roast leg of lamb, which was sprinkled with the meat your father brought back from outside. Spice, the children in the next door and I cried on the spot, and tears flowed from the corners of our mouths unconsciously."

Chapter 22 Is this the cultivation of a beautiful girl? ilil

"Ah, this..." As if recalling the delicious mutton in her mouth at that time, Keisha swallowed subconsciously.

Seeing her slightly absent-minded, Kane put his hand on Kesha's flat abdomen, rubbed it lightly, and bewitched her with a hungry voice: "I know you like these goats, but how do you feed them? There is no grass to feed the goats here. .”

"Besides, if we don't eat them, these goats will be eaten up by void creatures in the end. No matter what we say, we can't take advantage of those monsters!"

"Eat it, and imagine the long-lost meaty aroma jumping in your mouth."

"Eat it, wasting food is an unforgivable sin."

"Eat it, eat it..."

Keisha will resist the hunger from the second skin, but she is not at all wary of Kane's temptation.

Her heart was not firm enough, and Kane easily persuaded her by blowing the wind in her ears. She pursed her lips that were ready to move and responded: "Okay then, you wait here. I am strong, go down and carry one up."

"No, I'll go too." Kane replied meaningfully as if thinking of something.

"Oh, let's see who is faster."
