he came from the void

Chapter 38 The Taste of Life

"No." Kane immediately vetoed Kesha's request: "I can't contact humans yet, until I can control the skin armor to leave."

He wouldn't have allowed Kesha to come up if he knew he could see human settlements on the rock pillars.

"I'll just take a look, I won't affect their lives."

Keisha also knew that she would scare people. After the previous incident, she had given up hope of clarifying that she was not a monster.But it’s okay to look at it from a distance, right?

"There are many people in the settlement. If you can see them, they will be able to see you. Then people will attack you!"

"That's not necessarily the case, don't forget that I can be invisible." Kaisha disappeared and reappeared out of thin air, as if doing magic.

"What... what if it is exposed?" Worried about it, Kane actually forgot about it.

"I just ran out, they can't catch up with me." Keisha put one foot on a higher rock, showing the perfect thigh line.

"Oh...you can go if you like."

Kane couldn't hold back Kesha in the end, and he couldn't stop her if she was disobedient.

After the scar was healed, he forgot the pain, and he thought that he might as well just let her recognize the indifference of human society, and then she could learn to be good.

Keisha didn't care much about the helplessness in Kane's voice, she only heard an affirmative answer.She jumped up with joy and kissed Kane again, but this time Kane didn't feel much taste.

It's boring, the original good mood suddenly became very irritable.

"You can go, but you have to go underground." He reminded.

After saying this, Keisha came over and put her arm around him, urging him to hurry up, more than anything else.

Kane didn't know what he was in a hurry for, so he went underground, and it was already the second day when he reached the bottom of the settlement.

Taking advantage of the last bit of peripheral light on the earth before being swallowed up by the darkness, the two returned to the underground world through the patio.

Surprisingly, when the two went back underground, they found a monster they had never seen before waiting for them in the patio.

It looked like a living corpse that had been air-dried for many years in the desert, with a rickety figure, black and hard skin, wrinkled and lacking moisture.The limbs are so thin that only the bones are left, they are shrunk up in front of the chest like dead branches, and the five fingers are curved and sharp like eagle claws.

This is a person, but its face is far from human.

The dirty turban slanted down, covering half of the face, and the uncovered half of the face half-covered, revealing a black eyeball.

The size of this eyeball doesn't quite match the eye socket, because it is a little smaller, causing the purple light in the skull to shine through, making the eye socket slightly bright.

Under the one-eyed eye, there is a big mouth full of needles and teeth, fully occupying most of the face, squeezing out the original position of the nose, and the corners of the mouth are cracked below the ears.

"Garrah

It saw two people, staggered closer, let out a hungry growl at the same time, and some purple light escaped from his mouth.

Seeing this void creature, both of them looked unhappy.

Not that he is strong.

On the contrary, it can be weak, not much worse than the lowest level of Void Spirit.It belongs to the kind of cannon fodder creature that can be smashed to pieces with a plasma bomb by Kesha, or pierced through the heart by Kane with a finger.

Rather, it brought back bad memories for both of them.

Keisha recognized the escaped bird seller through the costume of the living corpse. He refused to listen to her warning, and in the end he could not escape the fate of becoming a monster.

And Kane was impressed by the appearance of human beings after being eroded for the first time. If he hadn't succeeded in symbiosis, maybe he would have become the ghost in front of him, right?

"How to deal with it?" Kane looked at Keisha, and he also recognized the identity of the living corpse.

He wanted to see what Kesha took it for.people?Or a monster?

Keisha answered him with action.

"May you find the source of infinity...and never be turned away."

She was chanting words, as if she was praying, as if she was praying for salvation.She raised her right hand, facing the staggering walking corpse with her palm, gathered energy and shot a light bullet towards its chest.

Undoubtedly, the living corpse was blown into a strange mass of flesh and blood, and the purple slurry splashed all over the ground.

Keisha felt that something in her heart was let go, she called Kane, and walked across the pool of flesh and blood without any suspicion.

……

The underground road conditions are much more complicated than those on the ground. Even though the distance on the ground is less than ten kilometers, it takes three days to pass underground.

None of the tunnels here can lead directly to the bottom of the destination. They have to change roads constantly, face choices in front of plausible forks, and stumble to find the right direction.

After living underground for a long time, both of them have developed an indescribable sense of direction, which can ensure that their general direction will not deviate, or realize that they are on the wrong path and correct it immediately.

In addition, they often encounter the situation where the ethereal swarms block the way.

If the scale is small, the Slaughter Swarm will force its way through.If the scale is too large, you have to find another way.

Although the process was a bit tortuous, the two still came to the bottom of the human settlement and began to explore upwards to find the exit.

The comings and goings of void creatures will flatten and expand the tunnel, just like the developed attractions, it will also be changed by the coming and going of tourists.

So those treacherous and tricky narrow trails became the focus of exploration for the two of them.Like flies drilling eggs, they specially drilled into the rugged trails, looking for unknown places.

It took a few more days for them to figure out the general road conditions around here, and Kane found many three-dimensional maps that were unknown to the monsters and had already left a deep impression on his mind.

Although some roads are dead, the ends are already very close to the ground, and the vibrations from above can even be felt.But Keisha didn't break through them forcefully, she believed that she would be able to know the secret exit.

Another few days passed, and many passages were explored and ruled out as dead ends.

With only the last few trails left to be explored, Kane barely cheered up, but Keisha was still full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm.

And it was in these last few roads that they made new discoveries.

In the sloping narrow tunnel, according to the usual practice, Kesha climbed in front, while Kane followed closely.

"Kane, do you smell anything!" Suddenly she stopped, yelling excitedly.

Kane raised his head, three feet in front of Kesha's buttocks, he was embarrassed in the dark when he heard this, and then moved his nose itchingly to sniff.

Neither the smell of fear, nor the smell of magic, nor the smell of hydrogen sulfide!

Hehe, how could a beautiful girl fart?

What he smelled was barbecue, animal dung, and strong spices.

Those are the taste of life, the texture of the hustle and bustle of the world above the ground.

And the reason why this smell can waft here shows a fact - this passage leads to the human settlement above!

Chapter 39 Bazaar

Keisha's chest was pumped with intense joy, and she couldn't help speeding up her pace and crawling upwards.

"Kesha!" Kane called from behind.

"What's the matter?" She looked back at him, laughing from under the mask.

Kane hesitated to speak, and he said thousands of words into one sentence: "It's nothing, just be careful when you go up."

"Yeah." Keisha continued to climb up, the tunnel was narrow and sloped, so she could only climb.

At the end of the tunnel, Keisha saw a gap above her head with skylight shining through. That was the world she longed for!

Close at hand!

For a moment, she seemed to have returned to that childhood that was about to be forgotten, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Kane patted her calf and held up a finger in front of her mouth to calm her down.

Silence.

listen.

Keisha fell silent, feeling the movement from the ground.

The helmet amplifies their five senses, the air is filled with a strong smell, the sound of people bargaining, mixed with the pungent smell of spices and barbecue, and the mouth feels sour with desire.

This is likely to be the market, but I don't know what the specific situation is.

Kane's consciousness network can only detect void creatures, and there is nothing he can do about it. He can only make Kesha be careful.

He won't follow, Kesha can only explore on her own.

The void skin armor rippled, Kesha's figure disappeared, but she was still in place.

She stretched out her hand to grab the gap, opening it little by little until she could poke her whole head out.

She saw the little bazaar drowned in color and noise, with arched canvas awnings next to each other covering almost the entire street, the air hot with the sun, and people setting up their stalls in the shade.

Water sellers, livestock sellers, spice sellers, fruit sellers... Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.This settlement is more prosperous than the small village where she stayed for ten years.

"Is this the world above? I'm back."

Keisha was full of anticipation, seeing that no one noticed the edge corner where she was, she smashed the dry soil above her head, and then got out.

She didn't forget Kane's advice, and the first thing she did when she went up was to quietly move something to seal the exit.

The tunnel exit is located at the corner of an abandoned earth wall, which can block the view from the other side, and there is a defective clay vat next to it, which contains only withered grass and fruit cores. Kesha moved it over to block the hole.

Before sealing her mouth, she did not forget to wave to Kane in the tunnel, but this was done in an invisible state, and she didn't know if he could feel it.

After finishing all this, Keisha walked to the market carefully.

The streets smell of sweat, and there are all kinds of pedestrians coming and going, but in general it is not very dense, and Keisha can walk in it with ease.

Keisha noticed the sunny spot in the middle of the road that was not shaded by the awning, where few people walked.Even if they had to cross the width of less than five meters, they had to speed up and run over as quickly as possible, as if they would die if they touched the sun.

Keisha looked up at the sky, the sun is very vicious today, but it's not like hiding like a vampire.

Seeing this, she suddenly came up with an idea—would it be possible that no one would foolishly bump into her when she walked into the sun?

Dodging passers-by, she thrusts one foot into the sunlight, which twists on her armor.

Then she showed her feet.

Kaisha found that although her main body was still invisible, the shadow cast by the sun was still there!

Fortunately, no one will notice that there is a sudden black spot in the sunlight, and even if they do, they will think of it as the shadow cast by a bird that landed on the awning.

Keisha retracted her feet into the shadows and continued to walk around the market dodging pedestrians.

The street was very tidy, but her eyes did not always fall on the stalls on both sides.Sometimes she also looks at the beautiful houses on both sides, bathing in the sunshine brick by brick.

On the top of one of the temples she saw a huge golden disc, a crude imitation of the fabled sun disc, without a trace of magic flowing on its surface, but containing the glory of Shurima's past.

I once heard Kane say that the real solar disk is very big, floating in the sky and towering into the clouds.

Kaisha came to a sheepfold unknowingly. The animals inside asked her smell, and immediately ran in panic, stretched the leash straight, and almost jumped out of the sheepfold.

The peddler walked over and scolded the animals, while Keisha hurried away.

Suddenly, a trace of bloody smell entered her nose, arousing the desire for flesh and blood.The inner layer of the carapace clenched the flesh tightly, the pain made her feet go limp, and her invisibility was almost released.

It wanted to eat, and Kesha subconsciously looked at the source of the bloody smell - a butcher slaughtered a goat on the street, and was bleeding it with a wooden barrel.

Keisha bypassed there, wandered to a booth and stopped there.

Dozens of baskets are filled with all kinds of small items, including bracelets, necklaces, bracelets and earrings, all of which are favorites of girls.

And Keisha's favorite is a wooden comb, with a silver-plated comb next to it, and a carved comb, but she just likes this ordinary mahogany comb because it is the cheapest.

However, no matter how cheap it is, she has no money and dare not show up to buy things.

A veiled girl who was not two years older than her came over. Keisha hurriedly stepped aside, and the stall owner and the girl introduced enthusiastically, completely unaware that her products were being secretly peeped at.

Kesha watched the whole process, watching the girls randomly pick and choose, and finally chose a shell bracelet that is rarely seen in the desert, paid the money and left happily, suddenly feeling very envious.

Looking back at the wooden comb that the girl didn't even look at, a thought suddenly popped up in Kesha's mind: Do you want to take one away quietly?No one will find out.

Kesha was ashamed of what she thought, and while it wasn't a valuable item, stealing was wrong.

But she really wanted to go back underground with the comb as a memorial, and let Kane comb her hair, which made her enjoy it very much.

She also saw the ear cleaning stick, maybe it would be more comfortable to clean the ears, but the dark underground seems not suitable.

There was a vanity mirror next to it, but she didn't dare to look at her face yet.She wasn't sure if she was still the little girl she remembered. Kane said she was beautiful, and she didn't want or dare to verify whether it was true.

Looking back to the comb, Keisha still wanted it most.

The stall owner suddenly pointed at Kesha. She was startled, thinking she had been discovered.

Then she looked around in a panic, only to realize that she was referring to a giant beast not far behind her.

The giant beast was Scarash, and it was the first time Keisha had seen it, but he had heard it from his father before.
