Chapter 188 Get out
Chapter 188 Get out
Hell was a desolate wasteland, its earth riddled with craters as if trampled countless times, giving it an eerie appearance. The earth and sky were perpetually blue tinged with red, as if the land itself were being roasted by ice and fire. In the distance, towering mountains rose majestically, their surfaces ablaze with a mixture of eerie blue and crimson flames—the place where the fire burned most fiercely.
The distant mountains are imposing, and the flickering flames seem to breathe, giving one a sense of unease, as if some terrifying thing is sleeping beneath the mountains, ready to destroy the world once it emerges.
"It looks like it's suppressing something," Cain muttered, gazing into the distance. He sensed something incredibly powerful in the distance that he couldn't defeat at the moment.
“Let’s observe what this hell is like while we find a way out,” Cain said, keeping an eye on his surroundings.
He saw the monsters wandering aimlessly in the distance. They seemed to want to leave, to get away from this harsh place, yet they were also reluctant to leave, creating a dilemma.
Cain remained silent, deliberately avoiding them. These monsters were irrational and contained no useful information; he had yet to encounter a single creature with apparent intelligence.
But after walking for so long, we still haven't found anything; all we see is desolation.
"This hell is quite large," Cain could only remark. In his perception, the spatial order of hell was incredibly chaotic.
At the same time, I also began to feel a little worried.
We won't be stuck here forever, will we...?
"Cain, look over there!" Crystal shouted, as if she had discovered something.
On a dark boulder ahead, a small black dot could be seen. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that a person was bound to it—a boy!
Most of the boy's body was embedded in the boulder, and the blackness slowly devoured him like a living thing. The boy was expressionless, raising his head and staring blankly at the red and blue sky, his eyes devoid of light.
“This is…” Cain’s pupils contracted slightly, his heart filled with surprise.
The boy whose face was stained with black was none other than Gan Luo, the heroic young man who sacrificed himself for his country!
Isn't he dead?
Cain was deeply puzzled. He had personally witnessed Gan Luo sacrifice himself and turn to ashes, so why was he here?
Gan Luo's listless gaze fell upon this place. Cain was unsure whether they were friend or foe, while Crystal, with a tacit understanding, kept a watchful eye on their surroundings.
"What are you doing here? Are you a demon or a hybrid?" Gan Luo looked at Cain with some surprise.
"What do you mean by that?" Cain raised an eyebrow.
It seems he remembers me.
“This is the graveyard of the dead and demons; its environment does not accept any creatures other than these two,” Gan Luo said quietly.
Only inanimate objects and demonic beings can enter this place; it's a burial ground. No wonder there are no records; everyone who enters dies.
“Then you…” Cain looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"I am a half-dead, half-human demon..."
As he spoke, Gan Luo turned slightly to the side, revealing the small wings at his waist. However, they were tightly held in the darkness and twitched from time to time, like a fledgling struggling in oil.
A hidden hybrid demon.
"I don't know why I'm able to survive here."
"Then it seems you've paid a price." Ganro looked deeply into Cain's hair and sighed.
cost……?
Cain carefully examined his body, but he did not feel any discomfort. The blue toxin was still there, but it was no longer a concern. The blue toxin...?
Cain discovered that the blue toxin was very similar to the aura of this hellish place. The toxin was the blood of the planet. What was the connection between them?
"Do you need my help?" Cain asked, looking at Gan Luo's appearance.
"No, there's no need. I am a dying man anyway, so let me stay here and share some of its sorrow."
It? Hell? Sorrow? It has emotions? Although the creatures here all seem to harbor deep hatred for the gods.
Cain was confused.
“Do you know about this hell?” Cain asked.
"I don't know what it is, but I can feel that it is alive."
life……!
Cain was shocked. He had never imagined that there could be life in Hell, a land composed of inorganic matter.
Could the land beneath my feet be some slumbering, gigantic creature?
Cain pondered deeply. Hell was vast and spatially chaotic, and he couldn't determine whether Ganro's assessment was accurate.
If it is a living being, could the creatures here hate God because of its influence? Why do they hate God? Did God seal them here?
“Those…” Cain pointed to the monsters lingering in the distance.
"Dead walking corpses."
This gave Cain another piece of information—
These seemingly alive creatures are all inanimate objects. They were brought to life by some influence, and some of them possess a certain level of intelligence, such as the Dark Tyrant and the Noble Prince of the Night.
The living dead, zombies? Is this some kind of Resident Evil scenario? Did God conduct a biohazard experiment here and it failed?
Similar words and thoughts flashed through Cain's mind.
"That……"
Cain wanted to ask more questions, but Ganro interrupted him.
"To be on the safe side, you should get out of here as soon as possible."
"Can we get out?" Cain decided to leave. Hell was vast, and in his perception, this was not the core area. To find it, he would have to locate its true location on the ground.
"Hell can only be opened from the outside, or by finding the location of the [Eye], but perhaps you can do it. You carry the powerful aura of hell, yet you are human. Perhaps we can expel you through repulsion."
"How to do?"
"The incantation taught by Bian Que."
"Deepest darkness, undying rage burns this body, burying a thousand years of hatred in the earth, hating the evil of the gods..." Cain remembered the incantation clearly and recited it.
It's less of a spell and more like a poem, a poem imbued with an unwavering determination.
"..."
After the chanting ended, all was quiet, and Gan Luo watched him silently.
“Uh…” Cain scratched his head.
No response, did I mispronounce it?
"Kain, there's movement!" The Dawn Guardian Crystal assumed a fighting stance.
Cain strained his ears and heard a vibration.
"boom--"
"Boom boom boom——!"
The sound of trampling on the earth grew louder as it approached.
A dark mass rushed in rapidly.
What's going on?! A riot?
Cain prepared for battle, and just as he thought the fight was about to begin, the monsters brushed past him.
The monsters formed a ladder behind him, and the tip of the bridge pierced a large hole in the red and blue sky, with black smoke and flashes constantly emerging from the tip, as if welding was taking place, creating a spectacular scene.
"Hurry, hurry...!"
"I hate it...!"
They howled, and the message they were sending was undoubtedly directed at Cain.
These monsters disappeared and then filled the void, forming a bridge with their decaying bodies that led directly to the hollow exit of the red and blue sky.
"Go, go!"
They weren't trying to escape, but rather to help someone leave. They built a bridge, and their hoarse yet heartfelt cries were deeply moving.
"Let's go," Gan Luo said.
Without hesitation, Cain stepped onto the bridge. They were very steady and did not waver at all; they regarded Cain as one of their own.
This situation left Cain with mixed feelings.
Perhaps they were heroes.
These monsters may not be just purely evil bio-engineered creatures. They are fearless, willing to sacrifice themselves, and rush forward one after another for a certain purpose. Everything they do has a reason, and they are more like vengeful spirits with obsessions.
Cain thought to himself.
What were they really?
What is their purpose? Is it to destroy God because they hate Him? Or is it something deeper, to eliminate some kind of constraint?
With many questions lingering in Cain's mind, he rushed towards the exit with the crystal.
He will find the exact location of Hell on Earth, and when he returns, the secrets of Hell will be revealed.
