Chapter 122 - 109: Eyes Grow on the Egg, As if by Divine Help

Old Cat was very cautious; it had always been rational.

Terror and panic were brewing in the damp air.

Lu Yuan took a moment to steady his spirit and applied some aloe vera gel to his wound. Thanks to the healing ability of the Extraordinary Spark, the bleeding quickly stopped.

The situation was still not optimistic: the number of monsters following him was increasing.

Those shadows were like flies swarming upon a cracked egg, pouring in ceaselessly.

At that moment, he saw a small creature hanging upside down behind a stalactite, its skin blue-black and eye sockets hollow.

It opened its wide, bloody mouth, revealing a sinister smile at him.

Its ashy-blue body was covered with eyes, densely packed.

Lu Yuan snorted coldly as the Donkey Head Mask flashed red, unleashing a "Spiritual shock."

He pulled a dart from his belt and threw it.

"Whoosh!"

The small creature fled, and the dart hit the stalactite, making a "ting" sound.

"Old Cat, was that thing we just saw real?"

"I think there’s a very high probability it exists... but I can’t be sure. My Divine Attribute is only at 0.1, so it isn’t completely zero. Perhaps only something entirely made of stone would be immune to Spiritual attacks."

Monsters and Demons truly are two completely different types of disasters.

The power of Demons is tangible, visible to the naked eye.

Whereas the strength of Monsters lies in their strangeness.

Despite all his abilities, Lu Yuan felt a sense of despair with nowhere to apply his skills.

Even the most powerful warrior would get slowly nibbled to death by these damnable flies while in the Monsters’ lair.

Fortunately, his thoughts were still clear, and his steps didn’t stop following the rule of "always turn right," thoroughly exploring the entire cave.

If a monster’s lair is found, just burn it with fire.

"There’s plenty of oxygen here, so these monsters must also rely on oxygen to survive... But how does the oxygen get in? An underground river, maybe?"

"I need to understand what the spiritual attacks of the Monsters are based on exactly."

"If it could make me go mad at any moment, it would have done so already; there’s no need to delay until now."

"There must be some mechanism I haven’t discovered yet..."

He spoke up, "Do you think the monsters here are individuals from the Rize Civilization, transformed into what they are now? Each monster has different abilities; I’m actually fighting the entire Rize Civilization."

"That makes sense."

"Comrade, the electromagnetic waves are being emitted from here," Old Cat suddenly said.

Lu Yuan stopped and looked around.

But there was nothing in this place, just a relatively open space as if electromagnetic waves were coming from some point in the void.

"If I’m not mistaken, it’s likely a Different Space within a Different Space," Old Cat analyzed, "which is an overlapping space phenomenon, but the overlap isn’t perfect, so it lets a small amount of electromagnetic waves out. Comrade, you also have the ability of a Different Space, can you decode it?"

"I’ll try."

Although hiding his abilities was key to victory in battle, he had to use them when necessary.

Lu Yuan activated the Different Space, and a thin layer, like a soap bubble’s film, protected him.

Unfortunately, he didn’t see anything.

The Monsters’ Different Space and his own seemed to be two completely parallel abilities.

You don’t interfere with me, and I don’t interfere with you.

By that logic, he was absolutely safe within his own Different Space.

A strong sense of safety washed over him, and while he breathed a sigh of relief, he exerted himself to think through the attack mechanism of the opposition.

"Now no eyes have grown on my body again... do they have to hit me before new eyes can grow, right?"

"Hm?" Lu Yuan’s expression changed slightly when he suddenly realized monsters were surrounding him.

Although the Different Space was safe, he couldn’t move within it. If they decided to wait him out, he’d have no escape.

He had no choice but to deactivate the Different Space and walked step by step towards the monsters.

These creatures were obviously very cunning; seeing Lu Yuan reappear, they again fled into the distance.

They clung like sticky candy, impossible to shake off. In a one-on-one fight, they were no match for Lu Yuan, but they persisted in hounding him.

Suddenly, a small creature emerged from the darkness, bit his arm in the blink of an eye, and then disappeared just as quickly. Find your adventure at empire

Lu Yuan swung his sword into the darkness, and foul-smelling blood sprayed out.

"Invisibility ability... damn it..."

The next moment, his palm felt excruciating pain, and that sensation of a drill boring into flesh returned.

Though the row of teeth marks had not penetrated his meticulously stitched lizard skin gloves, the intense pain made his whole body tingle uncomfortably.

He took off his glove and saw, as expected, an eye the size of a walnut had grown out of his palm.

"What the hell is this crap."

Lu Yuan fell into a grave crisis; once again, he steeled himself and used a dagger to pry the eyeball out.

Blood spurted out, and the eye, like a bouncing ball, fell to the ground.

The nerves in the palm are much more sensitive than those in the shoulder; the severe pain caused him to grimace and curse endlessly at the monster.

If this happened a few more times, he might end up chopping himself to death.

However, this injury allowed him to consider a fascinating possibility.

Once again, he set the body beneath his feet ablaze, and a roaring fire burst out in the cave.

The light briefly banished the darkness.

"Before the fire goes out, those monsters won’t come back for a while..."
