Apocalypse Arrival - chapter 226

The early autumn night had brought a trace of coolness, a drop of sweat dripped from the forehead of the man lurking in the forest, and splashed on the thin grass.

The moonlight couldn’t penetrate the layers of branches and leaves, and the dense forest was a thick black that couldn’t be removed.

The famous North Cavern was not far from them, and those who went there were determined to fight to death. But when the decisive battle approached, the fear engraved in the depths of memory still crawled on the skin of every soldier in the dark.

Looking out from there, a steep mountain wall in the distance was just exposed under the silver moonlight. There was a dark cave on the mountainside surrounded by pale mist. Upon closer inspection, there were two or three pale skinned demons squatting at the entrance of the cave. For demons without eyes, their two small red nostrils moved slightly, and occasionally they opened their mouths with inverted sharp teeth, making guttural sounds of unknown meaning.

“This is the entrance. These Blasphemers have no vision, but are very sensitive to smell and hearing. The dark underground lair with complicated roads is very beneficial to them,” Xu Haoguang lowered his voice and explained the situation to Chu Qianxun and others around him.

Behind him, a large bird with a huge body and a gorgeous coat stopped quietly. This odd-shaped bird lowered its neck docilely, and gently rubbed Xu Haoguang’s arm with its scaly head.

It didn’t belong to a creature on earth, but a strange beast summoned by Xu Haoguang with his ability. Xu Haoguang, with his broken legs, rode on its back and led Chu Qianxun and others to go there.

“How is the situation, Yibai?” Xu Haoguang and others heard Chu Qianxun’s voice in the dark.

A young boy who was blind replied, “Besides this one, there are two other secret exits. About 300 meters deep into the mountainside from the entrance, the human ability holders are imprisoned, and there are seven third-order demons, a fourth-order demon, and countless low-level demons. Once passing it and continuing to go deeper, there are many ordinary people, and there is…” The boy’s voice trembled slightly, surprised by the powerful energy he felt, he swallowed and finished speaking, “A fifth-order Blasphemer, it has been slowly moving back and forth among those people.”

“Wow, your ability is too awesome,” a young soldier who followed Xu Haoguang said in surprise. He held a sickle-like long-handled weapon with a long scar on his left face and spoke lively and passionately,

“This is the first time I have seen a mental power ability holder who can detect the situation so clearly. If we had such a person, many comrades in arms could have been saved.”

“I have told you everything that can be said. I still advise you to be cautious. The demons in the cave are more terrifying than you think.” Xu Haoguang subconsciously gently rubbed his broken knees, “Some things are not what you can do with a moment’s courage.”

“Don’t go in, sister.”

“You will die in it.”

It was a pair of twin teenagers next to Xu Haoguang. They were very young and had an immature accent. 

“We have lost too many brothers and sisters.”

“I really don’t want to see someone being dragged away by a demon.”

“Thank you, we will be more careful.”

A warm yellow faint light lit up, illuminating the speaker’s delicate and young face. She clicked on a map in front of her, “Yan Xue, take a group of people to guard this exit. Hongfei, lead people to guard the other side. If you see the demons escaping, try to eliminate them without reluctance. Yibai and Gao Yan stay here and you are responsible for assistance and command.”

She raised her head to look at Xu Haoguang and the soldiers, “I will leave them to you, my friend.”

Xu Haoguang looked at her in silence for a while, stretched out his hands and made a complicated gesture. His fingers lit up with a little blue light, and half a dog-like head with complicated patterns slowly appeared on the ground.

“I will listen to her instructions, Master,” the deep voice sounded from the body of the alien beast lurking underground.

“Yuan Qi, you take them into the cave once, try to…help them,” he ordered his summoned beast.

“I’ll follow your instructions.” The strange beast turned to Chu Qianxun with his bare eyes on the ground, “Stranger, come with me.”

It dived into the ground, and a half black head appeared not far in front, waiting for Chu Qianxun with its head sideways.

“Yuan Qi has entered the Demon Cavern many times. It is familiar with the terrain inside, so let it assist you.” Xu Haoguang looked at Chu Qianxun, “I hope to see you again.”

Chu Qianxun nodded.

A light gunshot sounded in the air, and the three bright yellow bullets flew toward the cave on the mountain wall. The three guarding demons just raised their heads, but the bullets penetrated through their scarlet mouths and fired accurately at the location of the demon’s core.

“Let’s go!” Chu Qianxun took the lead and ran, followed by Ruan Xiaoyue, Ye Peitian and Xiao Lu.

Suddenly, these people appeared at the entrance of the cave.

They stopped for a while at the entrance of the cave, and soon disappeared into the dark cave.

“Captain, are we going to let them in like this?” Said one of the twins.

“We also want to follow up and have a look,” the other continued.

“Boss, we used to laugh at Rongcheng Base for being timid. Now we will be laughed at by them,” said the young soldier with a scar on his face.

Xu Haoguang pursed his lips.

His wife and three-year-old child were killed in the bloodbath of the Blasphemers in Jin’an. His best brother Lu Wende and several others were still trapped in the North Cavern.

He had vowed to destroy all the demons there, but his repeated failures forced him to bend a straight spine in front of the huge power gap.

There were very few brothers who followed him, and he had no capital for being impulsive.
