Chapter 735: Chapter 698: Alive?!

To avoid the crisis, Rocky and his group had no choice but to fly into the deep pit.

This action indeed won them a glimmer of hope, but it also cut off all their retreat options, so the only thing Rocky and his group could do was to continue flying towards the depths of the pit, otherwise they would never get out.

In such a situation, the four of them could only begin to slowly fly deeper into the pit, covering hundreds of meters!

“This pit is way too deep…”

Looking back while flying, Dusa noticed that the pit’s mouth, originally more than thirty meters in diameter, had shrunk to the size of an egg in her perspective, indicating that they had flown quite a distance downwards, and also that this deep pit was straightforward without any twists, a straight plunge down.

Even so, even though Rocky and his group had flown down hundreds of meters, looking further down, the pit still seemed bottomless.

However, although they hadn’t seen the bottom, the insects on the surrounding cliffs were getting smaller, which was indeed true.

As they continued downwards, Rocky noticed that numerous caves of varying sizes started appearing on the cliffs, and he saw beetles and even Mantis Demons crawling out from these larger caves.

Only then did Rocky realize that the beetles, including the Mantis Demons they had seen climbing up the pit before, had all actually emerged from these caves. After Rocky and his group passed these caves and continued to descend deeper for a while, there were no more beetles on the surrounding cliffs.

But they saw something else!

“Rocky, these… these are…”

As the beetles and Mantis Demons disappeared, the four discovered something else on the cave-riddled cliffs, resembling thick tree roots. But when they flew closer, they were all stunned.

Looking at the things that looked like tree roots coiling around the cliffs, all four were stupefied because they had no idea what they were. They looked like tree roots, but they were not, as these root-like things were clearly wriggling.

“Are they tentacles?”

Seeing these wriggling roots, Dusa immediately thought of the tentacles they had encountered before.

“They don’t seem like it…”

However, He Nan shook his head after taking a closer look because he had been entangled by tentacles before and knew exactly what they looked like, and what was before him was definitely not that. In He Nan’s view, these things resembled…

“Blood vessels.”

Hovering in front of the thick root-like structures, He Nan looked closely again and again, finally figuring out what these things resembled—they looked particularly like a bunch of blood vessels!

“Blood vessels? Impossible!”

Upon hearing his words, Rocky and the others immediately flew up close to the cliff and looked at the root-like structures, and the more closely they looked, the more they realized He Nan was right—these things indeed looked like blood vessels growing on the cliff!

“Could it be… could it be that this deep pit is alive?”

Over and over again, Liliya found it increasingly unbelievable. How could there be blood vessels on the cliff? And if that was indeed the case, what did it imply?

Could it mean that this pit was a living creature?

This discovery was simply too astonishing and terrifying that almost no one could believe it.

“Guessing blindly is useless, let’s just try and find out.”

Hovering in front of the cliff, Rocky also furrowed his brows in surprise, but he was calmer than the other three. While the others were still astonished, he had already gripped the scythe in his hand tightly.

Without waiting for the others to react, Rocky swung his scythe at the cliff!

The edge of the Magic Fang Scythe was so sharp that not just the root-like thing in front of them which was a blood vessel, even if it had been an actual root, it would have been instantly cut in two. Indeed, that was what happened—Rocky’s swing cleaved the root-like thing in half, and immediately afterward, a spurt of purple blood sprayed out, drenching him completely.

It really was a blood vessel!

The root-like objects on this cliff were actually blood vessels!

Heaven…

Upon witnessing this scene, Rocky and the others were stunned. Although they had considered this possibility before, speculation was just speculation, seeing it in reality was another matter altogether. So, they just stood there dumbfounded, watching the severed blood vessel as purple plasma continued to pour out, not knowing what to say.

“Sir, look!”

Just then, Dusa called out to Rocky and pointed to the side, and Rocky, Liliya, and He Nan saw that the other root-like blood vessels around the severed one began to wriggle as if in pain.

At first, the movement was very slow, but in just a few seconds, the wriggling of these blood vessels became more and more violent, almost spasmodic. Moreover, as these surrounding blood vessels wriggled fiercely, the amount of purple plasma spewing from the severed vessel increased.

Suddenly, in an instant, there was a cracking sound, and the cliff face split open, then a huge tentacle burst out from within!

This massive tentacle, over ten meters long, smashed fiercely towards Liliya and the others after it extended from the cliff.

Everything happened so suddenly that Liliya and Dusa couldn’t react in time, although He Nan reacted quicker than them and stepped in front, holding his war hammer across his chest, ready to withstand the blow.

But, before the thrashing tentacle could reach them, a cold light flashed suddenly, and the raised tentacle then fell to the pit’s bottom like a lifeless lump of meat.

Rocky had cut off the tentacle with one swing!

When the tentacle had reached out, Liliya and Dusa hadn’t reacted in time, He Nan stepped in front of them, his responses were not too slow, but it was Rocky who reacted the fastest. Almost in the instant the cliff exploded, he had raised the scythe in his hands, and as soon as the tentacle appeared, he swung it down with one fatal blow, severing it instantly without giving it a chance to strike.

“Quick, let’s go!”

After severing the tentacle with one swing, Rocky didn’t even take a moment to breathe; he promptly yelled to the other three, then led them flying deeper into the area. As if to prove something, right as they flew deeper, there were several loud booms, and four or five tentacles, even thicker and longer than the one before, burst out. They thrashed toward the direction of Rocky and his group frenziedly, hitting the cliff loud and hard!
