Meanwhile, at the bottom of the mine.
Shen Heng stared intently at the darkness ahead with a solemn expression.
"So it really won't work..."
In the past two days, he has tried various methods.
Communication, prayer, invasion...
It's fair to say that all methods except releasing the other party have been tried, but...
None of them succeeded.
"Are we really going to let this guy out?" Shen Heng frowned, thinking.
Releasing them is easy; he can awaken the Underground Demon ahead of time by using sonic harassment.
But the question is, what happens after they wake up?
Are you confident that you can utilize it or communicate with it?
The ideal approach would be to go back to the temple, inquire about the specific rules, and then implement them.
But it's obvious that this method is unlikely to work.
Putting aside the fact that he's now all alone and the regulations over there are bound to be stricter, the issue of the sacrificial offerings is something he can't resolve right now.
Last time, I sacrificed several Fourth Tier Black Rat, but only got answers to two not-so-critical questions. I wanted to know how to use the Underground Demon to get out?
Shen Heng believed that it would require at least several Fifth Tier or dozens of Fourth Tier to accomplish this.
but...
The Fifth Tier no longer exists;
At the Fourth Tier, there are probably only a few dozen left in the entire Black Stone Valley.
Moreover, he couldn't even handle a single Fourth Tier opponent with a high probability, let alone dozens.
So... what should we do?
Doubt lingered deeply in Shen Heng's mind.
He looked up at the darkness ahead, where visibility was only a few meters.
Suddenly, my body instinctively flinched.
The feeling of being enveloped in darkness that I had experienced during my previous attempt resurfaced in my mind once again.
Or should we just give up?
I've tried everything I could, and that's all I could do. There's really no way to go any further!
After all, that thing is not something a normal person could use!
Shen Heng thought of the darkness that had enveloped him before, and then of the black Tsunami that had almost submerged the entire Black Stone Valley even earlier. His body involuntarily contracted again.
At this point, whether it's through the teleportation portal or by crossing the mountain, there should be a good chance of successfully escaping, right?
With my abilities, I should be able to lure away a lot of the Calamity Beast from the portal. As for the remaining ones, I should have a good chance of getting through!
As for the surrounding high mountains...
Having just experienced another riot, the Black Rat are quite likely to let their guard down.
Furthermore, even if they don't let their guard down, given the number of Fourth Tier still alive, they probably won't be patrolling as frequently as before.
In other words, as long as you observe carefully, there's still a considerable chance of getting out through that mountain!
A series of ideas surfaced in Shen Heng's mind.
He gradually became interested, and the interest grew stronger and stronger...
Suddenly, Shen Heng froze on the spot.
He remained in that position for a while.
Suddenly.
"Bang--"
The enormous beast's paw slammed heavily into his face.
The pain brought Shen Heng to his senses somewhat.
He took a deep breath, his gaze sharpening once more as he looked into the darkness ahead.
Is it Induction?
No, it wasn't entirely about Induction; more so, it was because I had genuinely thought that way myself.
after all...
Shen Heng raised his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on the darkness ahead.
He really had no other choice!
Released, fear, Underground Demon, temples, Forest Demon, Distortion...
One word after another flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, he paused and looked to the side.
Crimson blood surged in from the side...
"... Get up, you lot!"
"Have you been living too comfortably all these years?"
"Hurry up, all of you, get up..."
Shouts came from afar.
At first, it was blurry, as if seen through a curtain of water, but soon it gradually became clearer.
The Coiling Mountain Beast opened its eyes and paused for a few moments.
Finally, urged on once again by that voice, I stood up, somewhat dazed.
In his field of vision, there were one after another of those Calamity Beast standing up, in the same state as himself but with different appearances.
Further away, there were many more black-furred Calamity Beast trotting about.
The shouts came from their mouths.
The Coiling Mountain Beast stared blankly at this scene.
My mind was still a little fuzzy, and the scene before me felt both familiar and strange.
Then, I don't know how much time passed.
"Alright, Dull Star Stone Mine, this way, follow me!"
Did you hear me?!
" The Radiant Stone Mine..."
Shouts rang out everywhere, followed by a cacophony of footsteps.
One after another, the Calamity Beast advanced in different directions.
The Coiling Mountain Beast paused for a moment, glanced around, and then instinctively followed one of the groups.
Midway through, there were occasional hushed discussions nearby, but it paid no attention to them.
It simply followed the group silently.
The question surfaced in my mind.
"Who am I again?"
It tried to search its mind for its own memories, but there were no complete memories, only scattered, occasional fragments.
It doesn't seem to be Calamity Beast?
But if it's not Calamity Beast, then what is it?
By the way, what exactly is Calamity Beast?
One question after another surfaced in my mind.
I don't know when, but the line stopped.
The Coiling Mountain Beast also stopped.
Then, it saw a much larger creature with a pointed snout and covered in black fur walk up.
Then, another very long speech ensued.
Coiling Mountain Beast didn't quite understand, but roughly, it seemed to be telling it to mine, and then mine enough.
It looked at the side with some confusion.
But it seems that only it has this situation; the other Calamity Beast do not.
Not daring to ask any further questions, the Coiling Mountain Beast remained silent.
Then, it followed the group up and entered the mine.
Along the way, some of the Calamity Beast that had already entered had begun mining.
"So, I'm going to be mining after all?" the Coiling Mountain Beast wondered.
Then it continued downwards.
Along the way, it carefully observed how the other Calamity Beast mined.
Then, I chose a spot and started mining.
The beast's paw landed on the wall.
After knocking for a short while, the Coiling Mountain Beast felt a slight pain and numbness.
It wants to stop.
But looking at the figures on the side who seemed to have the same feeling, yet were still digging with all their might.
After hesitating for a moment, it also raised its palm and smashed it against the wall again.
