Chapter 962
962 Cave of the evil god (1)
The underground cave was not particularly dark due to the existence of fluorescent plants. At least, he could barely see the path under his feet.
And as they went deeper, the number of strange fluorescent plants kept increasing, making the underground space brighter and brighter.
It didn’t take long for Tang Zhen to arrive at the underground space in front. He also saw the thick pile of corpses on the ground.
Judging from the degree of decay, these bones had obviously been there for a long time. However, due to the special environment, they had been preserved for a long time.
Under the illumination of the fluorescent tree roots, the surface of the skeletons seemed to be stained with a trace of fluorescent light, making the scene look very strange.
A wave of “PU Chi” sounds rang out the moment Tang Zhen stepped onto the white bone ground. Soon after, some skinny bat-like monsters continuously crawled out from the clusters of tree roots.
These monsters had black wings made of bone membrane and were about a foot long. Their bodies were like human skeletons, only covered with a layer of tough skin.
The two canine teeth in the monster’s mouth were very obvious, and it seemed to be poisonous. Its eyes were round and bloody, and when it turned its head, it seemed to drag out a smoke-like stream of light.
After they appeared, they immediately let out shrill screams. These shrieks were sharp and ear-piercing, and it would make anyone who heard them feel vexed.
At the same time as the cry sounded, these monsters began to form groups and charge towards Tang Zhen. It was as if a dark cloud had swept over.
In such a narrow underground environment, facing such monsters that were as dense as dark clouds, ordinary adventurers would not be able to escape death!
However, Tang Zhen did not place these monsters in his eyes. With a gentle wave of his hand, more than half of the “dark clouds” that were sweeping toward him suddenly collapsed. Countless pieces of blood and flesh splattered in all directions.
Nearly one-third of their kind were instantly shattered, causing the other monsters to be quite frightened. The dark clouds that were originally charging towards Tang Zhen also paused slightly, as if they were showing signs of dispersing.
Tang Zhen did not stop when he saw this. He once again waved his hand and forcefully flung it. The mental energy that had condensed into a physical form gushed out. It turned into countless hair-thick threads that swept through the group of monsters.
Then, the monsters that were hovering in the air, along with the broken fluorescent tree roots, fell to the ground like rain. Their bodies had long been cut into countless smooth pieces.
In just a few seconds, there was not a single monster left in the entire underground space. The ground was covered with blood and minced meat, and an unpleasant stench filled the air.
Tang Zhen frowned slightly. After holding his breath, he quickly passed through this area and walked toward the depths of the cave.
With his speed, it would only take him less than a minute to reach the next underground space.
Soon, the underground space that he saw from the doomsday devotee’s memory appeared before Tang Zhen’s eyes. The light source provided by the huge luminous fungus that was more than ten meters tall made the scene here look like it was dusk.
Compared to the scene in the doomsday devotee’s memory, the scene here didn’t seem to have changed at all. It was still the mountain-like skulls, the mysterious and strange altar, the scattered treasures, and the statue of the doomsday carved with soul stones!
The evil god’s statue that was standing in the dim light seemed to have a trace of spirit flashing in its eyes the moment Tang Zhen appeared. It was as if it had come alive.
At the same time, Tang Zhen also felt a trace of strange mental energy from this priceless evil god’s statue.
This trace of mental energy seemed to be extremely pure. The degree of condensation was actually much higher than Tang Zhen’s. If Tang Zhen’s mental energy was said to be wood, then this trace of mental energy was iron!
The quality and strength of the spiritual power of both sides were not on the same level at all.
Clearly, the strength of the owner of this mental energy was higher than Tang Zhen’s. Even though Tang Zhen had already grasped the fire law, it was still possible that he was not a match for the owner.
Perhaps this was the God that the natives worshipped, a powerful native cultivator!
However, Tang Zhen did not feel any fear in his heart. This was because the other party’s actual body was clearly not here. Instead, he had only used some kind of secret technique to leave behind a trace of mental energy.
Therefore, Tang Zhen was not the slightest bit afraid even if both parties were to fight!
Tang Zhen slowly walked into this underground space. After he swept his gaze across the surrounding environment, his eyes once again landed on the evil god’s statue.
At the same time, the enormous statue’s head had also turned around in a strange manner and met Tang Zhen’s eyes.
“BOOM!”
A muffled sound was heard, and a ball of fire suddenly burst out in the air where the two sides ‘eyes met.
A ball of fire that seemed to be alive was entangled with a ball of strange black clouds, constantly attacking and eroding each other.
The confrontation between the two sides had already begun at this moment!
A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of the evil god statue. Then, headless mummies suddenly crawled out of the skeletons, fumbling around to pick up a skull from the ground and put it on their bare necks.
After the skulls were fixed in place, a trace of dim light emerged from The Dark Eye sockets. Then, these mummies with skulls on their heads swayed left and right, waving their broken weapons and pouncing at Tang Zhen.
“Small tricks!”
Tang Zhen coldly snorted. He randomly pointed at those mummies and balls of flames appeared out of thin air, wrapping around those mummies.
The exterior of this flame was white in color and possessed a rather terrifying temperature. However, it instantly burned these mummies into a charred paste. In the process of charging towards Tang Zhen, they continuously disintegrated and finally turned into a pile of charcoal!
Tang Zhen coldly laughed as he swept his eyes over the ashes that were emitting green smoke. He then raised his hand and gently pointed at the evil god’s statue.
An extremely condensed flame appeared out of thin air, almost no different from a high-intensity laser. In the blink of an eye, it landed on the statue of the evil god.
A thin light screen appeared on the evil god’s statue. Although it blocked Tang Zhen’s attack, Tang Zhen still heard an angry roar that seemed to be filled with killing intent.
Tang Zhen, who had gained the upper hand, immediately launched an attack. Relying on the power of the fire law he had mastered, fireballs and flame rays landed on the evil god’s statue one after another.
However, other than being extremely fast, Tang Zhen’s attacks seemed to have limited power. They were actually blocked by the protective light film on the surface of the evil god’s statue.
In fact, the power of the flames was not inferior to a heavy artillery shell. The power of the explosion could easily destroy a house!
The reason why it didn’t seem strange was that the power of laws surrounded both sides. Attacks with different powers of laws would be greatly weakened.
The mental energy hidden within the evil god’s statue had obviously come from a powerhouse who had mastered the power of laws. Therefore, the terrifying flames were suppressed by another power of laws, and could not display their true power!
However, this was only a wisp of mental energy after all. Although the degree of condensation was higher than Tang Zhen’s, it was unable to exhaust Tang Zhen’s energy. As time passed, this wisp of spiritual energy would inevitably become weaker and weaker.
Moreover, Tang Zhen also discovered that this wisp of mental energy seemed to be able to display its greatest strength only when it was within the statue. At the same time, the energy that it had exhausted could be instantly replenished.
Otherwise, how could he fight against him for such a long time without showing any signs of weakening with just a strand of separated mental energy?
Since this was the case, he might as well isolate it completely. Tang Zhen did not believe that this wisp of mental energy would be a match for him in an environment where only flames were left.
However, before Tang Zhen could take any action, the evil god’s statue roared. At the same time, a three-meter-tall black shadow suddenly squeezed out of the evil god’s statue and brandished its weapon as it ruthlessly attacked Tang Zhen!
