“There, seemed to be some lingering scent of them here...” Garen said while sniffing. He seemed to have smelled the scent of Nasira’s perfume.

He crouched down in the passage and touched the rough rocky ground. There seemed to be a lot of holes on the ground as though a hammer had hit a lot of places here and there, making the ground uneven. There were also some pieces of crushed stones that fell from the wall.

Hu!!

Suddenly, a thick black tentacle shot out from the front of the passage to wrap around Garen’s waist.

“En?!” Garen’s eyes were wide open from shock but instinctively, his right hand chopped down like a knife on the tentacle.

Peng!!

The tentacle was chopped by the knife-hand and its surface became full of injuries in an instant. Before the tentacle had managed to even touch Garen’s body, it had been divided into countless small pieces that flew past Garen’s sides and landed on the ground behind him. The remaining part of the tentacle twitched and quickly shrunk back into the darkness before disappearing completely.

A strong sour odor was in the air.

Garen frowned and covered his nose. He fanned with one hand and created a whirlwind to disperse the odor.

The pieces of tentacle on the ground were twitching and some of them were crawling.

Garen squatted down and picked up one of the pieces before giving it a pinch.

“It has a strong corrosiveness.”

Having the ability to act freely here, it should be a creature from another dimension. It should be our hope of getting out of here.’ Black Sethe said.

“Should be.”

Garen nodded and looked at the direction of the tentacle in front of him. He sped up his pace and chased it.

*************************

Boom boom boom!!

Three tentacles waved around and tried to attack AG and the others. The other three masked people hid in a small corner. Their bodies were covered with the smelly sour liquid from the tentacle.

AG and Nasira were covered in bloodstains, and their clothes looked as though they had been attacked from the side. Manasi was dragged by Nasira and avoided the tentacles’ attacks again and again.

Lava splashed around as the debris from the crushed wall fell in.

Soon, another tentacle rushed out from a passage and joined the attacking team.

“Burn!” AG shouted.

Blisters formed on the tentacle in front of him but it quickly returned to normal.

One tentacle came flying from the side.

Peng!

AG was smashed down from the air like a baseball and crashed into the wall, creating another hole there.

“AG!!” Nasira shouted as a look of anxiety appeared on her face.

She took out a small purple fruit. It was round and looked like a peach with a sharp tip.

Touching the purple fruit, Nasira’s face showed reluctance but when she glanced at AG on the wall, he was wrapped around by a tentacle that was tightening up. Blood was being squeezed out from his nose and mouth.

She gritted her teeth.

“Go!!” She threw the small fruit in the direction of AG.

The fruit exploded in midair and turned into a purple mist. The mist condensed into an obscure human form with a presence similar to AG.

Purple light flashed and AG, who had been constricted by the tentacle just a moment ago, appeared directly in the purple mist. He flew towards Nasira with his cane.

His hand pulled out a pile of things which seemed like medicine drugs and threw them into his mouth.

“Go!”

Black light surrounded them and the three of them disappeared again into a dark light arrow that sped towards the middle of the garden. A few tentacles pursued them from the rear but when they crossed into the garden, they suddenly wilted and dried up as though something had absorbed all the moisture in them.

The tentacles hissed and retreated quickly as if they’d been electrocuted.

With a poof, the three of them collapsed into the huge garden and rolled on the black and yellow soil. They were breathing heavily and sweating everywhere. Manasi took off his helmet and revealed his black bald appearance. He was a young black man with a calm demeanor. The blue fire in his eyes was actually a special effect from the helmet.

“Are you guys alright?” AG asked. He wiped the blood from his body with a defeated look. He appeared to have aged a few more years.

Nasira stood up. Her injuries were the least serious but it might be the effect of the purple fruit she used. She looked depressed at the moment.

“I’m okay but Manasi’s leg is broken,” she responded with a wry smile, “and where is this place? Aren’t we in the garden?”

Once she said so, the other two reacted and scanned their surroundings. They were in a lush forest, surrounded by towering dark green trees. There were pine trees, broad-leaved trees, red maple and many other species of trees.

There were thick roots all around them. Some roots were entangled around other tree trunks and some were intertwined to form strange shapes.

Nasira looked up at the sky. The crescent moon in the night looked like a sickle emitting a bright halo.

Weng...

Suddenly, the ground vibrated.

Huala!

In front of them, a black-clothed masked man ran with frightened eyes. His body brushed against the plants, making noticeable sounds.

“Stop where you are!!” Nasira shouted. She needed to ask someone about this place.

A purple vine flew out from her hands, wrapped around the masked man and dragged him back.

That man was struggling while he was dragged by the vines.

Nasira took a closer look at him. This person was unable to speak. The mask on his face was not worn but grew out of his face.

This person seemed to have been born without a mouth and nose. There was only a pair of black eyes. He struggled with all his might but he could not speak, and only his eyes could show how frightened he was now.

Below his eyes, everything else was dark and seemed like linen fabric.

“This guy...!” Nasira was a little surprised but quickly calmed her mind. After all, in all the years she lived, she had seen all kinds of strange things.

“Do you understand my words?” she asked loudly.

Wuwuwu.

The man only managed to make these sounds but his eyes were still full of horror.

“He doesn’t understand,” AG said at the side and touched the man’s head. “This man was just like the three people just now, a native from here. They don’t understand our language and intelligence...” He pondered for a bit and seemed to probe around the man’s head through the palm of his hand. “Intelligence is not good. Equivalent to a few years old child.”

Weng...

The vibration in the ground had increased and seemed to be shaking.

The land cracked and something seemed to be rising from the ground.

Ah!!!.....

A deep male voice as though chanting, sounded from the ground.

“Dodge!!” AG’s expression changed and he leaped to the side. The other two, though slightly slower, also jumped to the other side.

With a poof, the earth erupted and a thick large arm with a length of seven or eight meters burst out from the ground. It was a human arm!!

Boom!!

Another arm shot out from another place. The two arms which appeared to be dark red with a wooden texture grabbed on to the ground.

Ah~~~~!!!

A low groan which sounded like a mixture between a man’s helpless sigh and a scream burst forth. The sound shook the whole forest.

The soil between the two large arms was lifted. There seemed to be something even larger coming out of the ground.

“Run!!!” AG roared. A black light came out from his cane again but the black light was trembling, unstable and unable to spread.

AG’s expression changed. He bit on the index finger on his other hand until it bled and touched the top of the cane.

His index finger immediately withered and became black, thin and without energy.

The black light finally spread and wrapped around him. This time, it sped away without changing into an arrow.

Nasira pulled Manasi back and ran towards another direction away from the emerging arms.

A few minutes after they left, the ground was finally broken through.

Three heads with a diameter of seven or eight meters came out from the ground. Each of their expressions showed happiness, anger, and anguish respectively. The three heads were close together in a triangle shape, looking very strange.

As the ground shook even more, the height of the three heads continued to rise. Below was a huge body with a width of seventeen or eighteen meters. The huge body grew taller with the three heads on top and gradually, the entire body was revealed.

This monster that came out of the ground had a height of more than thirty meters! With three heads and six arms, the body seemed to be made out of wood with a wood grain texture all over it. The surface was carved into magnificent cloth and armor, similar to an ancient warrior with a long cloth wrapped around him. The six arms were each holding different weapons. The hair on top of the three heads was like flames and screams rang from their mouths.

As soon as the monster came out, the head with an angry expression looked towards AG and the others.

This monster had a very strange shape and there was an oriental feel to it. It did not seem to have a gender and between its eyebrows was a vermillion dot.

A hand holding a large ring came crashing down, bringing the wind with it. The moon was hidden by the arm and the whole area was enshrouded in its immense shadow.

Strangely, although the movement of the arm was slow, its target, which was AG, seemed to be unable to move his legs. His body was stiff and he could only helplessly watched as the huge arm with the ring dropped down.

When the ring was a few meters away from his head, AG opened his mouth.

“Mula!!!”

A huge sound erupted from AG’s mouth. The sound rapidly distorted from its formless and invisible state into a cloud of smoke that rushed up like a rocket.

Looking from afar, it looked like white gas burst out from AG’s mouth and rushed towards the ring.

Peng!!!

The ring with a diameter that was more than ten meters came crashing down like a huge rock on the white gas.
