Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts-Chapter 769 - 142 Ground Cave_1
As the light flashed from the Almighty Demon Vine's teleportation, Wen Yu felt a force tugging at him from all sides. Under normal circumstances, this kind of force wouldn't have been a problem for him, but his current injuries were severe.
So, Wen Yu promptly passed out…
Seeing Wen Yu unconscious, the Almighty Demon Vine gently stroked his cheek, transmitting a gentle Energy Wave into Wen Yu's body. This slightly alleviated his injuries, ensuring he wouldn't die from them. Then, the energy erupted once more, and the runes flickered continuously, teleporting Wen Yu to an even more distant place…
...
DRIP. DRIP.
A faint chill, accompanied by the dripping sound, blossomed on his forehead, then trickled down his cheeks.
Possibly stimulated by the chill, the unconscious Wen Yu frowned slightly before his eyes snapped open.
The Chaos in his eyes gave way to clarity. Wen Yu slowly propped himself up, first assessing his injuries.
The large hole in his chest was still there, but the bleeding had stopped. Although painful, it wasn't life-threatening. Beyond that, his remaining injuries were all minor and nothing to worry about.
Sensing this, Wen Yu ignored his wounds and quickly looked around.
In the pitch-black environment, a few sporadic, faintly glowing unknown plants provided a meager source of light. By this scattered light, Wen Yu could vaguely make out his surroundings: stagnant air, and to his left and right, pitch-black openings like the gaping maws of monsters, clearly indicating he was in a cave.
This is a cave… Or is it a burrow? Who would know?
The good news, however, was that within his perception range, he detected no signs of danger. This provided Wen Yu, who had narrowly escaped death, a safe space to recover.
Opening his space ring, he pulled out a large handful of elixir pills and quickly stuffed them into his mouth. While chewing, Wen Yu said to the Almighty Demon Vine, "Thank you; as expected, you didn't disappoint me when it really mattered!"
"HMPH."
The Almighty Demon Vine snorted dismissively.
Wen Yu paid no mind to the Vine's reaction and asked again, "Where are we now?"
"Still in the Demon Tribe's occupied area on the seventh floor of the Heavenly Palace. I don't know the exact location; the teleportation was random—as you know."
Hearing this, Wen Yu frowned slightly. Enduring the itching and tingling pain from his wounds, he took out a Compass from his space ring.
The position of the light dot on the Compass made Wen Yu sigh deeply.
The Heavenly Dao's teleportation had placed him roughly on the side of the Demon Tribe's occupied area near the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. However, Wen Yu's current location was in the deep rear of the Demon Tribe's territory. How deep? Wen Yu had to zoom the Compass display to a scale of one centimeter to ten thousand kilometers just to barely see a tiny red dot.
So safe indeed...
Wen Yu's mouth twitched as he sarcastically praised the Almighty Demon Vine.
...
He briefly assessed his current situation, only to find it was still far from ideal.
He had been separated from Tang Haofei, but Wen Yu wasn't too concerned about Tang Haofei's safety. Wen Yu even suspected that if Tang Haofei used up all his remaining revival chances, he might be able to directly challenge the Heavenly Dao...
The problem lay with himself.
The indigenous souls of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes had flaws, which allowed Wen Yu's Soul Battlefield to be incredibly effective. However, the souls of the Demon Tribe were flawless. Simply put, Wen Yu excelled in internal conflicts but not external ones. When facing Demon Fiends, he could only rely on his own raw power!
However, Wu Long, Luo Hai, and the others had just taught him a harsh lesson, titled something like "On the Influence of Level on Raw Power"...
Moreover, he was now deep within the Demon Tribe's occupied territory. Wen Yu held no illusions about avoiding them; he fully expected to encounter Demon Fiends, perhaps even Limit Breakthrough Level Demon Creatures.
So, things are a big mess... Wen Yu sighed, tucking away the Compass, then slowly stood up straight.
He moved his body a little, confirming his injuries wouldn't impede his mobility. Wen Yu then glanced at the passages on either side and randomly chose a direction to walk.
...
The sound of his footsteps echoed in the dim passageway. Touching the rough stone walls, Wen Yu's perceptive abilities spread out, trying to analyze his surroundings.
However, the feedback from his perception was poor. In all directions, there was only earth and stone. His senses couldn't even find the boundary of this subterranean expanse, let alone reach into the Netherworld.
He was currently in a Ground Cave, deep underground.
Thinking this, Wen Yu paused and asked the Almighty Demon Vine, "Can you teleport me out of here?"
"It will take time. The recent teleportation consumed a significant amount of energy."
Hmm... I see…
With a sigh, Wen Yu continued along the path.
"Wait."
The Almighty Demon Vine's voice stopped Wen Yu.
"Look behind you. It seems like there's something there."
The Almighty Demon Vine on his right hand slowly extended, pointing behind Wen Yu.
Confused, Wen Yu turned and looked back.
...
A faint white speck of light, like a firefly, slowly emerged from the darkness behind him and then leisurely fluttered in front of Wen Yu.
Perplexed, he sensed the small thing before him. After a moment, Wen Yu shook his head lightly. "It's just a speck of light, no Energy Fluctuations…"
Judging an object's danger by its Energy Fluctuations was undoubtedly far more reliable than relying on the naked eye!
Hearing Wen Yu's words, the Almighty Demon Vine remained silent. Instead, the small speck of light, already hovering before Wen Yu, bobbed and then continued to fly deeper into the cave.
Witnessing this, Wen Yu scratched his head. Despite his confusion, he continued to walk, closely following the slow-moving speck of light deeper into the cave. The Almighty Demon Vine had already proven its ability to protect him. This meant his original fifty-fifty chance of safety had perhaps increased to seventy percent. Furthermore, with no dangerous signals from his perception and his own safety seemingly assured, Wen Yu's curiosity began to grow.
...
The speck of light drifted along at a speed no faster than an average person sprinting a hundred meters. For Wen Yu, such a pace was slower than a leisurely stroll.
While closely following the speck of light, Wen Yu studied its properties. Gradually, he discovered something interesting…
This thing... doesn't seem to be inanimate...
Wen Yu's initial judgment about the speck of light had been slightly off. It wasn't that the speck had no Energy Fluctuations; rather, they were extremely faint, so faint that Wen Yu needed to observe it closely just to detect them.
Moreover, Wen Yu couldn't determine the nature of the Energy Fluctuations from the speck of light. They shared some similarities with a life aura, yet were fundamentally different in their finer details.
A peculiar life form? Or some unique phenomenon of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes?
Wen Yu couldn't tell.
It wasn't until a certain moment, when the speck of light visibly accelerated, that Wen Yu frowned.
It seems to lack independent consciousness, yet its speed has increased here…
Thinking of this, Wen Yu peered into the depths of the cave ahead.
Nothing could be seen in the pitch-black darkness…
After observing for a long while, Wen Yu slowly extended his right hand and tentatively touched the accelerating speck of light before him.
The speck of light passed through his fingertips. A chilling sensation spread from his fingers, making Wen Yu shiver. Apart from that, there was no other feeling.
What a strange thing...
