C547 Hope at present
Wuya Anqin and Pig Man rested for a long time, and after bandaging their wounds, the two of them mustered up enough courage to grit their teeth and walk up the mountain peak.
No one knew what the Asura hell looked like, and no one had ever seen it before. Because no one had ever seen it, people would always call the bloodiest scene they had ever seen the Asura hell.
At this moment, Wuya Anqin and Pig Man had already started to suspect whether the Fantasy Space they were in was actually an 'Asura Hell'.
Not long after they walked along the small road that led to the peak of the mountain, the space in front of them suddenly changed. Not long after they walked along the small road that led to the peak of the mountain, the space in front of them suddenly changed.
However, when these scarlet raindrops fell on his skin, he could clearly feel a sliver of viscosity and discomfort. He lifted his hand and placed the raindrop on his nose to smell it. He could even smell the thick smell of blood.
He could feel the soles of his shoes and his clothes gradually becoming wet. Lowering his head to examine his body, he realized that he seemed to have just been bathed in blood, and his feet seemed to have sunk into a sticky and muddy bloody swamp.
Looking around, there were corpses of wild beasts and humans everywhere. Some seemed to have just died, their skin still looked elastic, but there was no color of blood, only paleness. Some seemed to have been dead for a long time, their bodies were already clearly seen to have decayed and collapsed, and even the milky white maggots could be seen clearly as they swam back and forth on the corpses.
Some of them had seen corpses, and some of them had not been seen before. They looked like centipedes, but their bodies were huge, at least ten years old, and they had no eyes or tentacles. The only thing that could be seen at the very front of their bodies was a huge mouth, as well as rows of sharp, bloody teeth.
There were also some bugs that could even be described as monsters, and they couldn't be described with words. These bugs were either swallowing the corpses of wild beasts or humans, or drinking the blood on the ground.
Wuya Anqin and Pig Man swallowed their saliva at the same time and looked at each other. From the expressions in each other's eyes, one could see a hint of shock and terror, not an act but an expression of their true feelings.
The two of them subconsciously wanted to retreat, and even Wuya Anqin had plans to turn back the way she came! Even if they had to fight against groups of skeleton army s, it would be better than facing an army of bugs of all shapes and sizes.
However, when the two of them turned back, they discovered that the lush forest had also disappeared, and what replaced it was the endless bloody world, as well as the corpses and strange bugs.
"Boss, what should we do?"
"There's no other way, we can only head towards the top of the mountain!"
"There's no greater danger waiting for us there?"
"That's still better than waiting to die here. If you're willing to stay here, then I'm not!"
"..."
After a short conversation, the two of them made up their minds once again. They carefully walked towards the direction of the top of the mountain!
However, this time, the two of them did not dare to be careless. Each of their steps was done carefully, as they were afraid that the slightest sound would alert the surrounding army of bugs. When that time came, they would not know how to fight or where to run to.
Although they knew that this terrifying scene and those creepy insects were only a part of the illusions, the problem was that they themselves were also in the illusions, and if they were eaten by these bugs, then they would also die in the real world. This was the illusionist's unique ability, otherwise no one would be intimidated by it.
However, they were densely packed with all sorts of bugs, and they were practically filling the path that they had to walk on. Sometimes, it was even difficult for them to walk even a single inch.
The two of them spent close to an hour to traverse only ten meters. Even if they let the tortoise crawl, an hour would not be enough for the tortoise to traverse more than ten meters.
"Damn it, those damn bugs!"
Listening to Pig Man's complaints, Wuya Anqin also furrowed her brows. He deeply knew that the longer she stayed in this illusion, the higher the potential danger she would face.
Most importantly, because the other party's illusionist was not around, his own illusion techniques could not be used, otherwise she would not be so passive.
Moreover, the bugs in these illusions were not real, so the illusions had no effect on them!
Although it was Wuya Anqin's first time encountering such a bizarre illusion, hsheknew that if she wanted to break out of the illusion, he had to find the source of energy that supported the illusion.
If the illusionist was here, then the source of support for the illusion would be the illusionist herself. Furthermore, if the illusionist was not here, then there would definitely be a supply of energy that could make the illusion operate continuously.
As long as he could break through this energy source, he would be able to get rid of this illusion. Then came the problem. The carrier of this energy could be disguised as anything, it could be a disgusting insect, it could be some unremarkable object, like a stream, a rock, or even a handful of earth.
It could be said that as long as no one came to warn them and the energy carrier didn't move, it would be a pipe dream if the two of them were to search for the energy carrier in this dangerous place.
Fortunately, the giant skeleton once said that there was no hope of escaping once they reached the top of the mountain. Does this mean that the energy body that supported the illusions would be somewhere on the top of the mountain?
Thinking about it, Wuya Anqin's eyes couldn't help but light up, as if she had found a way to survive.
"I think there should be something on top of that mountain peak. As long as it is destroyed, we will be able to escape this illusion!"
"Then what are we waiting for? We can just rush over directly, right?"
"Fine, we're out. Let's go!" If we can do it, then we can successfully escape from Ascending. If we can't, then we can only ? "
Pig Man understood the meaning of Wuya Anqin's last words. If not, then the only thing waiting for them would be death.
And the only thing that made the Pig Man slightly gratified was that according to Wuya Anqin's words, their path to survival was most likely the summit of the mountain.
Maybe because they saw a hope of survival, the two of them gritted their teeth and mustered their strength, and prepared to charge forth. After looking at each other for a moment, Pig Man opened a path for them, and Wuya Anqin followed closely behind, the two of them rushed towards the top of the mountain.
However, when Pig Man used his concealed weapon, although he had successfully hit and pierced through a bug's body, and even brought out the insect's green blood, this action of his caused a chain reaction in the entire blood colored area.
Whether it was the bugs gnawing on the corpse, the flying bugs wandering in the air, or even the bugs shuttling through the little stream of blood, all of their attention was focused on the two of them. It was as if the two of them were the dazzling celebrities that attracted the attention of tens of thousands.
However, if it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't want to go, because being surrounded by cheers and applause was a kind of joy and excitement, but being stared at by a group of bugs that chose to devour someone, that would definitely only be despair and fear. No, there would also be chills coming from the bottom of their hearts.
"What are you waiting for!" "Run!" Wuya Anqin seemed to have predicted this outcome, and decisively shouted at the Pig Man.
Maybe it was because of Wuya Anqin's shout that woke him up, but Pig Man's body suddenly trembled, and followed Wuya Anqin towards the peak of the mountain. Only this time, Wuya Anqin was holding onto a bloodstained long rod, opening up a path, while Pig Man was shooting hidden weapons at him from behind.
All the bugs that had been shot by the hidden weapons were drowned by the endless sea of bugs in an instant. As they looked at the sea of insects that covered almost all of the ground, the two of them felt like they were going to collapse. Their courage was slowly being extinguished bit by bit.
However, under the urge of fear, the two of them quickly made their way to the top of the mountain.
Just as the two were about to reach the top of the mountain, Wuya Anqin who was running ahead of them suddenly stopped, and Pig Man who was following closely behind Wuya Anqin, they looked towards the top of the mountain in surprise.
However, the moment he saw this, he was immediately stunned, and the words that he was about to ask Wuya Anqin why he had stopped moving forward immediately choked back in.
He thought he saw countless birds and beasts of varying sizes circling in groups in the sky. They would occasionally let out heart-palpitating wails, as if they were the last miserable cry before their deaths.
On the ground at the top of the mountain, there was a large group of human shaped corpses, whose bodies were covered with disgusting and pus. They swayed their bodies in groups, slowly moving towards Wuya Anqin and the other two.
The rotten flesh on those skeletons continuously emitted a stench that made people want to vomit, but it was also this disgusting stench that caused the sea of bugs army that was closely following the two of them to stop moving as if they were blocked. Although they piled up high, they were unable to step past the lightning pool.
Even those worms with no intelligence would know fear and cowardice. This could only mean that these disgusting corpses at the top of the mountain were even more terrifying.
Looking along the skeleton, they saw a man whose body had festered to a certain extent, so they couldn't see his face. What made them feel weird was that the man was stuck on a cross shaped wooden shelf, his two bony arms were fixed on the cross section of the shelf, and his feet were fixed on the bottom of the shelf.
His head was hanging down naturally, looking lifeless. He couldn't possibly be alive, because his body was already so rotten. It would probably be a miracle if he could still be alive.
These weren't the things that caught their attention the most attention. What made their hearts surge the most was that on the chest of the corpse, there was a purplish-red crystal that continuously emitted a deep purple glow.
"Is this the energy body that can maintain the flow of the illusion?" At the same time as Wuya Anqin was feeling excited, faint suspicions rose in her heart.
