Chapter 1257: Chapter 147: What Is Called History Now Was Once Named the Future (Part 1)

Certainly, here’s the translated text:

But amidst the piercing voices, impossible to distinguish whether they were cries or manic laughter, Shen Chongyang suddenly fell to the ground, clutching his head and crying agonizingly, his face immediately replaced by the "Mask of Pain," torn apart, leaving behind a broken corpse that wobbled to stand.

Xu Shu saw Lady Qianfa.

She transformed into a merfolk, akin to a tide-calling siren, breaking through waves with the swiftness of wind and lightning, yet in mid-air, she was abruptly seized by two snake heads that emerged without warning, binding her limbs.

At the instant she was about to be torn apart, an angry shout suddenly echoed in the air, and the two snake heads bizarrely released the flesh at hand, turning to seek other targets.

Lady Qianfa, still in shock, continued to flee but before she could run far, she heard a sinister giggle in the air, and then her entire face was violently torn off while the two snake heads returned, biting her into pieces, leaving the blonde woman to die in agonizing screams. It seemed like a cruel malicious prank of theirs.

Xu Shu also saw the siblings Ning Xin and Ning Ze.

The "Butcher" transformed into a blood-red Escape Light, enveloping her with her notoriously clumsy, slow-moving "Dragon Elephant" elder brother, running along the edge of the dark fog.

At the crucial moment, Xu Shu distinctly saw Ning Ze, who was in front, suddenly turn around.

"Don’t look back!" He shouted, forming seals with both hands to raise a dirt-yellow "Iron Wall" ahead, but in the next second, the snake tongue that emerged from the dark fog swept him and the barrier into the air, exploding into a thick, rich rain of blood.

"Brother—!" Ning Xin’s piercing cry was abruptly cut off because the snake tongue inexplicably split from the side, dividing into two and then into four, stretching out like sticky tentacles and binding the "Butcher’s" limbs, gradually licking toward her private parts.

"Ahhh!" Ning Xin went mad with resistance, spitting out a large amount of blood which transformed into blades, slicing ferociously, but couldn’t even create a cut on the snake tongue.

—In this moment, survival seemed no longer dependent on how fast one could run or how strong they were.

It depended solely on luck, whether these two extremely malicious beings had chosen you.

Ning Xin’s luck was particularly bad; as the snake tongue was about to tear her body apart, to humiliate and torment her to death, Xu Shu happened to pass by.

He glanced at the bronze door so close by, then at the teammates screaming in agony.

Ultimately, Xu Shu gritted his teeth, jumped up, and kicked her in the waist.

Rip!

Under the enormous force, Ning Xin’s limbs were ripped apart in unison, blood gushing endlessly, staggering outside the bronze door’s gap.

At that instant, angry roaring exploded in the corridor, and the sound of bones shattering painfully resounded from behind Xu Shu.

A terrifying stench amidst intense crisis stabbed into him!

Having lost its original prey, the giant serpent extended its head, eyeing the nearest, Xu Shu.

Simultaneously, another snake head emerged from the rear right side without warning, eyeing his position and darting toward him.

"Damn!"

With both snake heads in pursuit, Xu Shu cursed in his heart, gritted his teeth, and his strong legs sprinted like spinning wheels of flame.

At this critical juncture, he burst forth with the fastest speed of his life, completely breaking his limits, lunged forward with an "Eight Trigrams Exorcism" posture, forcing himself ahead by dozens of meters.

It was just this margin of life and death that caused the enormous snake fangs to pounce again futilely with a booming sound.

The two snake heads collided with each other, piercing through the ground, diving underground.

"Huh?"

A confused low growl flashed briefly.

Xu Shu didn’t waste a single moment, continued to sprint desperately, finally as the dense dark fog engulfed everything in an instant, he breached through the last flash of the bronze door, returning to the platform at the base of the spiral staircase!

Sizzle!

Sizzle, sizzle!

Huge eyes, whether bright or dim, along with that mask filled with bizarre smiles, abruptly halted at the bronze door.

They hovered in mid-air as if gazing down on ants, taking a brief glimpse outside.

"..."

Xu Shu’s breath hitched, daring not to make any noise.

However, the bronze door seemed to isolate everything, the two terrifying monsters peered forward, not having seen Xu Shu and others on the ground.

Then they suddenly displayed extreme anger, howling furiously, but disappeared quickly.

Roar, roar, roar!

In the minute tremors, the bronze door slowly, with extreme subtlety, inched back to its original position, finally closing with a clack.

Perfectly aligned, with countless mucus descending from above, as if it had never been pushed open.

The entire platform descended into unimaginable silence once again.

Silent and soundless.

Only then did Xu Shu have a moment to turn back and check on the status of his teammates.

At first glance, the luckiest seemed to be Lu Bingwei and Gu Pan; they were looking at Xu Shu with similar astonishment.

Clearly, these two hadn’t faced attacks by the two monsters during their escape and made it out unscathed.

The next was Xu Shu, who, though in disarray, managed to escape unscathed, carrying two faint or mixed-up teammates with him.

The worst situation outside belonged to Ning Xin.

She witnessed her brother die before her very eyes, then endured a horrifying experience of nearly being toyed by the Orochi in short order, encountering within minutes what could be termed the most terrifying nightmares of her life.

Now, she lay on the ground like a human relic, eyes blankly gazing upward, letting blood flow non-stop from her limbs, yet seemingly devoid of any pain.

The others behind the bronze door all perished, never to emerge.

Ten entered, ending with four dead and one severely injured escaping, a truly tragic situation!

"..."

"What were those things?"

"I don’t know..."

Gu Pan and Lu Bingwei exchanged glances, slightly pleading for help, looking toward Xu Shu.

But seeing Xu Shu’s astonished face, they too fell into prolonged silence.

After a long time, Gu Yue Ming was the first to stand up, taking out a pill, and hurried over to treat Ning Xin’s wounds.

Under the faint glow, Ning Xin’s injuries started to heal quickly, with granulation surging, new limbs gradually growing out—having a third-tier "Life Player" present ensured as long as they weren’t dead on the spot, there was always a way to save them; just the effort and time varied.

After a while, Xie Xiaochan wandered over with a somewhat puzzled look.

Seeing the brutal scene, she was dazed at first, then asked, "What was attacking us just now?"

Lu Bingwei glanced at her, hesitated, opened his mouth but said nothing.

Gu Pan, carrying a hint of uncertainty, said, "Demigod..."

"Demigod?"

Xie Xiaochan swallowed incredulously, muttering to herself, "Have we seen a ghost, isn’t this supposed to be a large relic? Demigod level only exists in transcendent-class relics..."

"Who knows?"

"What about the others? Are they..."

"Dead." Lu Bingwei finally spoke.

"Dead..." Xie Xiaochan’s face was blank, feeling very heavy.

Although death in a relic was common, they were far from fresh-faced rookies, and those capable of surviving to this skill level had all been through fierce battles from blood-soaked mountains of corpses.

The difference was that the enemy today was especially powerful and completely unresistable, making it that rather than grieving for teammates’ deaths, it was being terrified by the enemy’s strength.

But after a glance around, finding that four of them were alive, she felt a bit lighter.

Yet, of course, she couldn’t show it, making the scene completely silent for the time being, as everyone watched Gu Yue Ming treating Ning Xin, the atmosphere very heavy.

Only Xu Shu didn’t feel the heaviness.

In his view, once entering a relic, one must be prepared for death; it’s the cost of cultivation!

Judging from the outside situation, isn’t this Death Report Ridge a secret site belonging to the Western Continent within the ruins of the dead?

Although considering certain elements, it’s already speculated that historically, the "Nether Sea" is now the "Sea of Death," and two legends, no, three legends ought from the same world.

But the timeline doesn’t match... [Weihai Yewang] is from the era of ancient mythology, while [ruins of the dead], [Capital City Collapse] belong to the era of technological civilization...

Well, okay, what’s going on underneath this church as an ancient relic?

"Tai Chu Scrolls, say something!"

[Don’t shout, Tai Chu Scrolls is also contemplating...]
