Chapter 201: Ruins that Suddenly Collapsed

When this female demon died, whether it was her tentacles or her pitch-black flesh eggs, all of them began to shrink. They dried up in a manner visible to the naked eye, turning into black powder just like rotten vegetation.

Kant slowly raised his left hand, indicating to stop the attack.

However, there were still four Swadian sergeant on both sides who raised their shields up and walked to the stone platform to check the results of the battle.

Seeing that her skull had already been split opened by the AWL arrows, piercing through the back of her head, they turned their heads and nodded at Kant. They put away the half-sword in their hands and said, “She has been killed.”

“Very good.” Kant nodded and praised the people of Ravenston beside him, “Very decisive.”

“You flatter us.”

The ranger and forest warden bowed slightly, appearing very modest.

After all, these were all archers.

Excellent archers.

When they saw this female demon, the disgust towards evil in their hearts had already begun to stir. Without Kant’s permission, they almost couldn’t help wanting to shoot, and the order from the Lord made them feel completely relieved. They drew their bows and shot arrows, killing the female demon that was emitting a dense evil aura, like an intruder in the underworld.

The people of Pande continent were born to hate all creatures in the underworld.

Kant naturally understood.

This was the reason behind Pande’s worldview.

And the order he gave to shoot came from the mission issued by the system.

They walked forward.

Kant came in front of the body of the female demon who was shot into a hedgehog. Her beautiful oval face had been pierced by more than ten cone arrows until she looked like an alien. Looking at her miserable appearance, she was almost on par with that other demon goddess.

He shook his head slightly.

His eyes were still calm and indifferent.

He placed his hands on his temple, and data spread.

All the things that had happened in history had nothing to do with him.

Kant knew.

The key was to absorb the power of these ancient descendants to make the system stronger and his power increase. That was the only thing he could rely on to survive in this world!

[ ding… Through your tireless efforts, you have completed this mission. ]

[ main quest: “Absorb again” completed. ]

[ reward: System’s new function is activated. ]

[ explanation: When you thought that you would win by defeating the opponent, you didn’t expect that danger would appear again. The two women didn’t seem to belong to the same camp, but it didn’t matter. You also didn’t belong to their camp. Absorb the new female demon, the system will once again gain new rule power. ]

The completed dialog box popped up on his retina.

Kant’s mind hid it.

The system had already activated two new functions.

However, he was temporarily unable to check because after Kant gave the order to kill the female demon, as the pitch-black tentacles and flesh eggs withered and shrunk, even the golden light in the sky began to shake and dissipate.

In just a few short minutes, half of the golden light had already dissappeared.

“Lord Kant.”

Manide raised his head to look at the dissipating golden light, solemnly reminding Kant, “This place seems to be a bit dangerous. I think it’s best to evacuate this ruin now. After all, this is the interior of the mountain. If it collapses, we’ll be in grave danger.”

“That’s right.”James nodded in agreement. “We’d better retreat immediately!”

The golden light above their heads shone like the sun, giving them some assurance.

But these golden lights were dissipating.

The entire place and the interior quickly became dark.

Even the ordinary soldiers felt that once these golden lights disappeared, something bad might happen. It was best to retreat quickly, lest they were caught unprepared in the face of danger.

“Let’s go.” Kant nodded as well.

However, he looked at the huge stone coffin with pity.

There was a slightly smaller golden coffin inside. Judging from the purity of the color, it was the purest gold. If it was transported out, it would probably be enough to buy the title of the Count of the dukedom of Leo, as well as a piece of land!

That Golden Coffin was really priceless.

“Crack crack crack…”

Kant was about to speak and ask the soldiers behind him to pry open the golden coffin to remove it, but he did not expect that there would suddenly be violent shaking under his feet. Even the originally neatly cut stone slab had a certain undulation of the terrain that caused the interior of the ruins to slowly shake.

A large amount of dirt and stones began to fall with a crash. Like a rainstorm, the golden light that was still spreading and refracting in the sky quickly became small and dim at an extremely fast rate.

“This place is going to collapse!”

Manide and James were shocked. They grabbed Kant’s hand and wanted to run toward the cave.

This was the interior of a thousand meters deep mountain.

Or it could be said that was the bottom of the mountain.

If this thousands of acres of space all collapsed, it would elicit the collapse of the entire mountain. Millions of tons of soil and stones would pour down directly, submerging them in the ruin.

By then, this place would really become a mausoleum.

Their mausoleum.

It was not worth it to die because of such a thing.

However, when everyone surrounded Kant and ran towards the cave, an even more violent tremor appeared. A few hundred meters above their heads, a rock that was dozens of meters tall collapsed with a rumble, with a loud noise, it crashed directly between the original position of the stone platform and the cave’s stone door.

“Boom…” the infrasonic waves and air waves caused by the huge rock smashing down instantly sent Kant and the others, who had already entered the stone door and the cave’s tunnel, flying away. Violent air currents instantly surged out.

It was as if they were in a storm and could not help themselves.

They whistled and flew four to five meters away.

Then, because of the sudden disappearance of the air wave, he fell heavily onto the stone pavement of the tunnel.

“Uh… Cough cough…”

For a moment, a painful cough was heard.

In the dark tunnel, the air wave even sprayed the accumulated bones out along the tunnel. This caused everyone to fall without a buffer layer, allowing their bodies to withstand their inertia and weight.

With the chain armor on their bodies, it was probably no different from being hit by a heavy hammer.

“Splash… Splash…”

There was a slight sound, but the sound was getting louder and louder.

The people who were still coughing looked at each other, especially Manide, who was used to living in the sea or rivers. He turned his head to look at the ruins cave behind him. “Is… is it the sound of flowing water?” He said in shock, “It’s water!”

“Boom –”

Before the people could react, an even louder sound appeared.

It was indeed the sound of running water.

However, compared to the sound of the water seeping out and hitting the stone slabs, it was more like a flood that directly broke the dam. With a destructive momentum, it violently surged into the ruins!

“Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom –”

The waves were squeezed out of the narrow space. The sound of the waves hitting each other and struggling was like an angry roar.

And at the back.

With the torch that the Rhodoks had brought with him, the entire cave alley suddenly lit up. Although it was dark, it was still barely visible, and one could see clearly seven or eight meters away.

“That’s…”

Manide’s breathing was somewhat hurried.

James, who was beside Kant, also widened his eyes. “It’s water!”

That’s right, it’s water!

And a lot of water!

A violent surge came from within the stone door. It was like a rising tide, rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. It even soaked through Rhodoks’s familiar spear-wielding boots at the bottom.

“Retreat quickly!” Kant’s order rang out.

Only then did they react and continue to climb up the tunnel.

Their injuries from the fall had recovered quite a bit.

These soldiers, who were originally strong, supported each other and surrounded each other. Under Kant’s lead, they quickly walked towards the light at the end of their vision. This was because they knew that that was their path of survival. As long as they escaped to the location of the light, they would be able to survive if they saw the sky of the Senwaya Range!

“Boom, Boom, Boom, boom…”

Just behind them, the sound of water flowing and collapsing could be heard continuously.

Every time, it was like a bomb falling.

Because the water was spreading in the ruins, the air in the ruins was compressed. There was a gust of strong wind blowing from the inside to the outside in the entire alley. It was as if it was pushing them to quickly escape from this area.

In less than ten minutes, they had already seen the light that was right in front of them.

Kant was the first to drill out.

Behind him, James, Manide, as well as the infantrymen and archers, came out one after another.

And right inside the cave, the rumbling sound of water was still ringing in their ears, making their eardrums ache faintly. Even the natural sound of birds chirping and beasts chirping could be heard from time to time in the Senwaya range, they could not hear anything at all. They could only feel the rumbling sound of water that seemed to be continuous and never stopped.

“Let’s, quickly, leave this place!”

Manide moved closer to Kant’s ear and shouted loudly, “It will collapse! It’s dangerous!”

“I know.” Kant nodded and also shouted loudly, “Everyone, retreat immediately. Leave this… mountain. We’re leaving, now!”

However, their eardrums were ringing, and no one could hear clearly.

They could only act according to their gestures and mouth movement.

After leaving the cave, they returned to the peak of the mountain. Aaron’s village, which was originally located here, was not affected in the slightest. It was just that the 20 skilled Rhodoks spear-wielders and 20 skilled Rhodoks crossbowmen who were stationed there; and because of the panic caused by the loud noises, when they saw Kant and the others, they quickly came over and bowed respectfully. At the same time, they reported on the situation they had encountered.

“Let’s go!” Kant did not speak any nonsense and could not hear the report clearly. Instead, he pulled them to the north and pointed at the smooth slope and paved road, shouting “Let’s go!”

If the thousands of acres of cave collapsed, this mountain would suffer as well.

Collapsing was a good thing.

If there was a large-scale collapse, the entire mountain would be completely overturned!

Staying on top.

Was equivalent to waiting for death!

Rhodoks’s village had disappeared. If he was lucky enough to draw another village, he could continue to build it. If he died, then everything would be in vain. Kant would not let his life be threatened at all.

He cherished his life very much.

The soldiers behind him were also running quickly with him.

The obedient warhorse and single-humped camel seemed to have sensed the shaking of the ground and quickly came to their side. They stopped to be ridden by their respective masters, or they brought additional people along the paved road and quickly rushed towards the desert outside the mountain range, in short, it was necessary to stay away from this mountain top.
