he came from the void

"Those people didn't listen, and they kept stuffing sheep into the sheepfold, and even pushed the sheep into the tunnel." Kane explained the seriousness of the problem to Kesha: "Now they're blocking the entrance of the tunnel again. Stopped, the bloody smell couldn't go out, and began to spread underground."

"Why block the exit to prevent us?" Keisha felt unreasonable. If it wasn't for her painstaking efforts to convey the message, how would these people know that they were in danger.

"Ah."

Kesha turned her gaze back to the corpses on the ground: "Let's find a way to clean up these corpses, such a strong smell of blood will trigger a wave of beasts."

"I'm afraid it's too late." Kane replied helplessly.

Some kind of mutation had already occurred in the abyss, and he sensed it immediately.

Countless monsters are forming, claws crawling out of the abyss dragging their wet bodies, and rushing towards this place in droves with an inconsolable killing urge.

"No way..." Kaisha murmured incredulously, until her skin armor also sensed, responding to the calls of the void creatures.

She immediately made a decision, turned around and fled into the darkness.

"Where are you going?!" Kane asked.

"I'm going to lure them away! You hurry up and clean up the corpses!"

"Leave away?" Kane felt that Keisha's hasty decision was unrealistic. This time the beast horde was bigger than ever before, and it was obviously impossible to wipe them out by fighting guerrilla warfare.

"Kesha is not here, why not take this opportunity to make a break, let people see the real horror, so that they will be willing to leave."

After making up his mind, Kane crawled towards the surface, pushing hard against the rocks that sealed the entrance of the tunnel.

The huge movement made the guards find him immediately, and all the sharpened spears were aimed at Kane, as if he was facing an enemy.

"Monster, go back! You are not welcome on the ground!"

Such a weak enemy can't even arouse the stinging warning of the void skin armor. It sends a feeling of hunger and wants to eat them.

Kane also couldn't help feeling a bit of urge to share food. He realized that the skin armor had been trying to usurp power, so he swung his claws and hit the nearby rock pillar, suppressing the killing on the surface of his body.

The support point at the bottom of the rock pillar was hit by him with a huge gap, and it looked crumbling. The guards looked at Kane differently.

Not only was he more frightened, but he also lost his fighting spirit.

"The real monsters are coming, and they won't listen to you."

Facing a few adults, Kane has no pressure at all.

He sniffed the air for the fear that would make void creatures flock to it.

"Let's go, there's still time to go back and pack your luggage," he said.

Several guards looked at each other with fear written all over their faces, but they didn't flinch, and still pointed their spears at Kane, even in the eyes of the latter, there was no deterrence at all.

Their mission is to prevent monsters, for the settlement, they can't just leave their duties like this!

If he could, Kane really didn't want to fight these humans. He really didn't know how much force he should use to make them feel the pain without being beaten to death.

Not merciful, just not worth being jotted down by Kesha for it.

Suddenly he remembered that there seemed to be a way without using force.

Chapter 52 Beast Tide

The armor on Kane's back arched for a while, and none of the guards dared to attack first.

Kaka!

Suddenly, Kane's back bounced off two huge elytra wings, and the translucent membranous wings vibrated at a speed invisible to the naked eye, making a loud noise.

The guards had never heard such a harsh noise, and their bodies reacted instinctively, shrinking their necks and backing away again and again.

And at this moment, Kane used his wings to accelerate explosively, jumped from a high place and rushed towards a certain guard.

The huge impact caused the guard to lose his balance in an instant. He was thrown to the ground. When he reacted from the pain, a black and hard claw had already caught his neck. Could cut his neck.

Seeing that their companion was in danger, the other three guards surrounded him chaotically, but they didn't dare to get too close... They thought it must be painful to be hit by those flapping wings...

Kane saw that they were not approaching, and then turned his gaze back to the guard below him.

At this moment, his eyes were wide open in horror, and his scalp was numb from the constant needle pricking sensation through the thin neck skin, as if a thousand needles had been inserted into the pores.

Kane was pleased with his performance.

In fact, he didn't want to throw people down, but at the age of 13, when he met an adult, his height would definitely be shorter.

Since he needed to be persuaded, he couldn't lose his momentum, so he still chose to throw people down.

Kane's purpose is to go to the settlement to find the chief, and directly threaten him to let the tribe relocate, before the void beast tide comes to the surface.

Originally, he could just fly over and ignore these guards, but he suddenly remembered that he could do a little experiment on these.

If successful, he might be able to add some persuasiveness to the Chieftain.

Eyes met, Kane blinked at the guard below him.

No one thinks he's childish or naughty just because he's just a boy, the purple abyss in his eyes is nothing but creepy and frightening.

The guard forced himself not to look at the purple eye, but the moment they looked at each other, he found himself completely enslaved by that stunning, pupilless eye.

His soul flinched, his heart screamed, but he himself couldn't look away from the eye that radiated the primal urge to deconstruct everything.

Then he saw it.

The surging energy in the abyss was like a vast ocean, and in that crazy ocean, thousands of rustling monsters emerged.

They come from deep within the heart of the earth, and beyond.

He didn't know what it was, nor where it came from.

But he could clearly feel their hunger, clearly and vividly.

They penetrated the rock in droves, crawling upward, with a definite and frenzied killing urge, wanting nothing more than to disintegrate and destroy the world above.

The loud noise drove away the incomparably real illusion, and the guard came back to his senses and found that the monster boy had let go of him and flew into the air.

Layers of carapaces covered his face, but the soul-stirring eye still seemed to be staring at him through the layers of carapaces. He forgot to think for a while, and stared blankly at him as he flew towards the settlement.

"Are you okay?" The rest of the guards came to help him up.

The guard yelled like an electric shock: "I saw it! Let's go back quickly and let the neighbors pack up quickly. What he said is true, the monsters are coming!"

……

Keisha shuttled through the tunnel and rushed into the beast tide alone.

The torrent of carapace and claws overwhelmed her, and she dodged and fought back, creating a survival channel in the beast horde with the deadly fire.

Kaisha killed three in and three out, leaving some scars on her skin armor.

Instead of taking another risk, she fled the herd.She wasn't fast enough to throw them off, but just enough to stay in front of them.

She turned a corner and ran deeper underground, but she soon discovered that the direction of the monsters never changed.

Something must be wrong!

A terrible doubt arises, have they found a better target than themselves?

Keisha quickly threw off the beast tide, ran on the rugged path only the two of them knew, removed the clay jar used for camouflage, and came to the familiar market.

The noon sun has passed, and the temperature is no longer so hot, but there is no one in the market who is setting up a stall.

Then she heard the shouts of people, and those voices led her to the martial arts field at the edge of the settlement.

Then, he saw Kane, standing in the middle of a crowd, surrounded by dozens of guards with spears.

One is shouting to them all, calling out the courage in their hearts, lighting the fire in their souls, and making them take up arms in the face of demons.

It was the little girl's father, the chief of the settlement.

Keisha moved closer to the crowd, wondering why Kane was here.

But Kane spotted her right away, too, and came just in time.

Before those people found her, several layers of carapace fell down to cover Kesha's face, and then forced into a state of invisibility.

Keisha knew it was controlled by Kane, and she didn't know what his intentions were, but she obeyed him and remained invisible before approaching.

Kane stepped towards the chief, who roared tremblingly like a cat whose tail has been stepped on: "Stand back, devil! You are the omen of monsters!"

"You said that I attracted the monster...?" Kane frowned in the face of this groundless accusation.

He stared at the Chieftain, letting him look into his own haunted eyes.

In the surging abyss, Kane made him see what he wanted to see.

Under the settlement, the void is approaching.Attracted by the smell of blood, they sprang up from the soil beneath the ground, like maggots emerging from rotten honeydew.

Kane blinked, and the Chief woke up with a start, with cold sweat on his forehead, as if he had had a nightmare.

But this dream was extremely real, he seemed to feel the pain of being pierced by the ground under his feet, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.

They're close, very close, digging into the ground.

"See? Everything you do to get rid of the monsters is to ring the bells for the creatures of the void."

"Now, they're coming for you!"

With Kane's words, that hazy touch became substance, as if a nightmare had come true.

The voids had crawled to the surface, and they gushed frantically in the rubble like fountains of rotting blood.

The black and purple color of the oily carapace is like rotten fruit, which is incompatible with the yellow sand of the desert, like the poisonous blood gushing from the wound and smeared on the ground.

Air and sunlight twist around their hideous torsos, as if afraid to touch them.

The appearance of the void beast swarm suddenly changed the texture of the air, and an ordinary breath made the intestines feel knotted.

This is the physical embodiment of horrible hunger.

Chapter 53 Missionaries

"Are you still refusing to leave? Do you want to stay and feed the monsters? Take your things and drive away from here. I will help you delay for a while."

Kane turned his head and walked towards the direction of the beast horde. Kaisha was also waiting for him on the road. There was still time to save this dangerous place that was about to fall.

The surrounding circle of steel spears receded, giving way to him one after another, but at this moment, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side and blocked him.

"Stop! Monster!"

The person who came was taller than ordinary adults, standing in front of the young Kane like an iron tower.

He stretched out his hands, his eyes blazing with anger.

"Monster, I have seen through your lies." The preacher accused Kane loudly: "It is you who have robbed our sacrifices! It is you who have made us restless!"

he yelled, and at the same time let the guards surround Kane again,

"You don't have to go, kill this monster and offer him to the void as a sacrifice, you can calm the beast tide and keep the town from being trampled!"

The people in the town gathered together, and they chose to side with the missionaries without knowing the truth.They all shouted for him to hack Kane to death, pay for blood with blood, and sacrifice Kane to stop the beast tide.

It seemed that the encouragement of the crowd gave him courage, and the missionary slashed with his sword, but was easily parried by Kane.He is not a good hand with the sword, and Kane, who does not know any swordsmanship, saw the flaw in two strikes, took the sword away and kicked it away.

The missionary fell to the ground with blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Another shorter female missionary quickly came to help him up and cursed Kane: "Don't you admit that you are a monster? You came down from the ground and grew like those things The same skin. Your eyes... I see endless void in your eyes!"

Kane looked down at her, he didn't see even a trace of fear in the missionary's eyes, only endless fanaticism.

Is there really anyone who is not afraid of the void?

That's not normal, these two preachers must have been brainwashed by the prophets to embrace the void with all their hearts and minds.

Everything they say and do is pushing life on earth to the void.

He didn't feel angry, just helpless.

Save people, then be misunderstood and betrayed.

This is something Kesha has been repeating in the original world line.

People regarded her as a monster, and didn't believe in the monster's explanation, and didn't believe that the monster would save people. Instead, they thought that she had attracted the real monster.

She wants to drive people to safety, but ends up making them more determined to fight her.

Then she starts to wonder - why fight to save them?Why fight to preserve humanity?

Since they were regarded as monsters, why didn't they just fulfill their wishes and become monsters?

Isn't that simpler?
