Damn it! Let's smash the darkness together!-Chapter 1307 - 163: King of Hell

Xu Shu’s first goal in patrolling the mountain was the ancient temple in the mountains closest to him, seemingly suitable as a resting point.

It’s unknown who the temple worships; the statues of Gods and Buddhas inside have long turned into scattered stones, clearly abandoned.

Some broken arms, Zen Staffs, Stone Beasts, and so on, are scattered haphazardly, the buildings are in ruins.

Xu Shu kept his eyes and ears open, circled around the temple’s exterior wall, and couldn’t help but frown.

The ancient temple is obviously empty, completely silent, yet it always gives him a feeling that the place seems to be subtly vibrating.

"There’s something odd; could it be that beneath the temple lies an underground secret chamber?"

"Damn, why do these ruins always favor underground fortresses..." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Xu Shu felt a stir in his heart; while silently ridiculing, he also wanted to go inside and explore, to see what might be causing mischief.

If he were to encounter something akin to the ’Cold Chi Ice Pearl’ again, a treasure with pollution, or a monster with strength roughly equivalent to a biochemical organism, wouldn’t it be another profit?

However, after much consideration, Xu Shu hesitated for a long time, ultimately sighing and choosing to avoid this place.

He’s currently alone and isolated, without any revival attempts from the Tai Chu scroll, even the strongest entry [Sit-ups] is on cooldown, so his risk resistance is quite weak.

He must suppress such adventurous thoughts!

Xu Shu was decisive, suppressing his greed, turning directly away, entering the ruined town at the foot of the mountain.

Initially, there was nothing amiss during this process.

Only along the way did he encounter two or three strange creatures that attacked him, which Xu Shu crushed casually.

Their level wasn’t high; the strongest batch was only at the second-tier Corpse General, while most were first-tier, a mix of Yin Spirit and Corpse Soldier, and some even failed to drop crystals after being killed.

After such a patrol, Xu Shu had a preliminary judgment.

Apart from the suspicious ancient temple on the mountain, possibly containing higher-tier dangers, the rest of the area seemed safe to him.

"Pretty good, this is the place then!"

Xu Shu seemed satisfied with the environment, immediately choosing the top of a well-preserved skyscraper; while he killed a few flesh-eating zombies jumping out of the toilets, he camped on the spot, hid inside.

He planned to rest here, wait for the time to pass, and leave the ruins!

Unexpectedly, he found himself rejoicing too soon.

He hadn’t rested even half an hour when the vibrations heard in the ancient temple reappeared.

And this time, it was not as weak and almost inaudible as before, but grew to thunderous drumbeats akin to godly percussion, increasingly loud, as if something was gradually awakening and approaching!

[Oh no!]—the Tai Chu scroll flashed two small golden characters in Xu Shu’s vision.

"...Damn it, when trouble arises, you just say ’oh no’, weren’t you supposed to protect me? Tell me what’s happening!" Xu Shu grumbled as he stood up, vigilant of the surrounding situation.

He looked around and saw that the originally desolate and quiet streets became crowded, with Yin Spirits, walking corpses, and various bizarre creatures.

They were originally hidden in the corners of the ruins and sewers, completely unnoticed by Xu Shu.

But now, they all emerged, rushing into the streets like a tidal wave. Their numbers were so vast that the naked eye couldn’t distinguish them, enough to make a person with trypophobia faint on the spot.

"Oh no, are they coming for me?!"

Xu Shu was shocked, and without further ado, he ran.

As the saying goes, many ants can bite an elephant to death; if surrounded by tens of thousands of monsters, it could be absolutely disastrous; he certainly didn’t want to die here crushed by monsters!

But he hadn’t run far before he got stuck on a tower, pausing.

He discovered that the dense Evil Spirit Tide hadn’t tried to attack him.

Not to mention those running on legs on the ground, even a group of bat-like humanoid creatures with flesh wings that swept past him, completely ignored Xu Shu.

They didn’t even glance at him, instead, they all rushed toward the distance, into the depths of the mountain, like lost dogs in panic!

"So... they weren’t coming for me?"

A false alarm, yet Xu Shu was baffled, with a sense of foreboding in his heart.

Sure enough, within half a minute, he saw in the distant mountain, from the ancient temple where he was before, a fierce blaze shoot into the sky, followed by a earth-shattering explosive boom!

Looking around, the rolling smoke and dust covered the sky like the end of the world, spreading outward;

Not only that, a gigantic flaming wheel burst from the ancient temple on the mountain.

The wheel was as high as several dozen stories, covered in twisted Sanskrit, emitting a roar akin to thousands of monks chanting as it spun, heading towards the ruined town below the mountain.

Wherever it passed, the mountains crumbled, turning into a scorching crimson flow under the blazing fire, submerging everything like a flood.

It’s worth mentioning that the magma wasn’t ordinary lava but a dark red fluid mixed with human bones.

Wherever it went, be it reinforced concrete, trees, or flowers, all grew strange fleshy sprouts, which turned into skeletal blade blood fire blades, like mature spores, shooting out.
