This was a wide underground space with low visibility. However, he could still vaguely see his surroundings. It was silent throughout all four directions without a single sound. All of a sudden, a strange voice could be heard.
Hiss—
"Shii~"
While in a daze, Xue Yue felt pain all over his body. It was as if his body had been dislocated and he unconsciously groaned in pain. Within this dead silent space, his groan was clearly audible.
The severe pain invaded his nerves and Xue Yue gradually came to his senses.
"Sh*t… My head hurts so much…"
"I'm… I'm not dead?"
"Pain? I'm not dead yet?!"
After he was completely awake, Xue Yue found himself lying in a pool of blood that had yet to dry up. Moreover, he was not injured. There was not a single wound on his body, just that he was feeling feeble and very weak.
"It's good that I'm not dead, it's good that I'm not dead!"
Xue Yue released a sigh of relief and laid down in the pool of blood. He was feeling glad deep down, but soon, his anger shot through the roof as he gnashed his teeth in hatred. "Thomas, just you wait. After I get out, I'll chop you into pieces alive!"
He was feeling happy and furious deep down as he laid down on the bottom of the sinkhole and slowly recovered his strength. However, he could not help but look towards the sinkhole' exit that was at the top. He could only vaguely see a white spot from his location.
It was too far!
"The depth of this sinkhole is really unmeasurable!" Xue Yue felt somewhat frustrated.
After half an hour, he had recovered some strength and barely managed to stand up. He stood up, checked out the surrounding situation and he was suddenly somewhat surprised by what he saw.
The vastness of the sinkhole was beyond Xue Yue's imagination. It was an extremely wide underground cave, where he did not know how wide it was, and the height seemed to be several hundred meters. The ground was uneven, bumpy, and filled with sharp stalagmites.
"This is?"
What shocked him the most was a huge pyramid not far away from him. The most bizarre thing was that the pyramid was suspended in mid-air just like that, completely violating the laws of physics!
However, the pyramid was not complete. One-third of the lower spire did not exist and what replaced it was a spherical boulder.
When he saw that scene, a scene could not help but surfaced in his mind. Going deep underground, who knew how deep, existed a vast underground cave. In that cave, there was a huge pyramid suspended in mid-air.
Suddenly one day, a meteorite fell from the skies and the ground was directly penetrated, forming a huge sinkhole. After which, the meteorite crashed into the pyramid and knocked the spire away.
Thus, the huge boulder had replaced the spire of the pyramid!
"I doubt that's what actually happened. How could there be such coincidence…"
Xue Yue shook his head and stopped his mind from random thoughts. Soon after, he slowly walked towards the pyramid. When he came closer, he discovered that it was terrifyingly huge. It was unknown how big of an area it occupied as it was suspended ten meters above ground.
"This… is completely unreasonable. Even if such a huge pyramid is made of plastic, it could not be floating in the air?"
The pyramid was right above Xue Yue's head and the massive, pitch black pyramid base was just like the Taishan Mountain pressing down from above. Xue Yue could not help but feel panic. What if that pyramid suddenly dropped down? Wouldn't he get smashed into meat paste?
"F*ck! I'm not that unlucky, right?"
While he muttered internally, he hurriedly walked away as it was better to be safe than sorry…
However, things would always develop unexpectedly. Just as Xue Yue was about to leave the area of the pyramid, a terrifying suction force came from above. The suction force was so strong that he started floating uncontrollably.
"F*ck! What now?"
Xue Yue turned pale with fright and his limbs struggled in an attempt to escape. But despite so, he was involuntarily sucked and floated over.
"This suction force… could it be coming from the pyramid base?" Xue Yue turned over and saw himself flying towards the pyramid. Just as he was getting closer to it, the suction force increased!
Thud!
The ten meters distance was reduced in the blink of an eye and Xue Yue finally knocked against the pyramid base. After which, he was completely glued to it, just like an iron block stuck to a magnet!
His back, hands, legs and head had been firmly sucked by the pyramid, with his body sprawled out and glued to the bottom.
"Can someone tell me what's going on!?"
Xue Yue felt like crying out of anxiousness. This pyramid was too abnormal. He merely stood down there to take a look and had been so unlucky to suffer from this unexpected disaster. F*ck! The worst thing was, if he were to be stuck there continuously, he would starve to death sooner or later!
"Noo! Someone please help!" Xue Yue tried to struggle, but it was as if he had been firmly glued to the pyramid and he could not leave at all. He became confused from anxiousness and started shouting out loud.
But it was unknown how deep the sinkhole was, and there was not even a single bird feather here. So who would come save him? Oh wait, there was a python dead python, but could a dead snake possibly save him?
Obviously not!
"I'm dead! I'm dead meat!"
Xue Yue was mad with anxiety. But all of a sudden—
Traces of itching could be felt from his back, legs, arms and head. The sensation was very familiar and he couldn't help but blank out momentarily. Soon, his expression greatly changed and showed an expression of fear.
"I wouldn't be that unlucky, right? Don't tell me this pyramid is made of metal?"
His guess was soon confirmed as the itchy feeling intensified. First, it converged towards his heart. Next after it underwent some unknown changes, it transformed into a warm current and spread throughout his limbs, and body.
A terrible pain could be felt wherever the warm current spread to, and his temperature was also rising rapidly. Xue Yue was in so much pain that his expression had distorted while his skin started to turn red. However, compared to the time where he absorbed the submarine, the pain this time was obviously not as intense. At the very least, he could tolerate it.
But even so, the pain was still very intense and Xue Yue had to clench his teeth. His body turned crimson red and every single breath would form a long string of steam. As soon as sweat seeped out from his skin, it would immediately evaporate into water vapour.
Xue Yue's entire body seemed to have turned into a steamer and was constantly releasing steam!
"Hold on! Persevere! As long as I finish absorbing this pyramid, I can go down. Moreover, my body will get stronger! This is a good thing… a good thing. I have to be happy, I must be happy. I will be able to kill Thomas and get my revenge soon…"
"Hold on! Persevere! This is a good thing… a good thing. I have to be happy, I must be happy. I will be able to kill Thomas and get my revenge…"
"Happy! I am so happy…"
With the passage of time, the pyramid slowly disappeared. First from the large base, then it slowly extended upwards. However, the pyramid was huge and god knows when it would be completely absorbed. Thus, Xue Yue could only suffer and endure the pain.
"Dad, are you doing well?"
"I wonder what that guy, Li Dengke is doing. He must be enjoying a loving holiday with his girlfriend. I'm so envious…"
"Will I be able to return before university starts?"
"…"
If someone were to be there at that moment, they would see a shocking scene. A huge pyramid suspended in mid-air with a huge rock embedded onto it at the top. As for the bottom of the pyramid, there was a man firmly glued and his body was currently spewing out mist. The most unimaginable thing was that the pyramid was slowly disappearing!
Time passed slowly and it was unknown how much time had passed. The white spot, which was the exit of the sinkhole had turned black and then white, which meant that one night had passed. Whereas the enormous pyramid was still getting absorbed and was finally about to disappear without a trace.
The pyramid of unknown height was finally left with 40 to 50 cm and it seemed like it was unable to maintain its state of suspension as it directly crashed to the ground.
Xue Yue's consciousness had become blurred and he vaguely felt himself falling to the ground. The next instant, he was in close contact to the ground and a large crashing sound soon followed.
The spherical boulder rolled aside and Xue Yue was still pressed on the ground by the remaining pyramid. But even so, he continued to absorb it.
"I'm back on the ground?"
The impact of falling to the ground had slightly cleared his head but soon after, he fell deep asleep. The entire day of suffering made him drained to the extreme and he could no longer persist on right now.
Crack, crack…
The remaining pyramid was still disappearing and soon, it completely disappeared without a trace, revealing Xue Yue's body. As for the huge boulder that rolled to one side, there was a sudden change to it.
All of a sudden—
Crack, crack…
The boulder trembled slightly and gradually, the frequency of the tremors increased. The gravel on the surface started to crack little by little, and fell to the ground. Finally, when all the rocks on the outer layer had been peeled off, a strange, black sphere was revealed.
The black sphere had a smooth surface, strange golden markings, and it was strangely glowing in the dark cave.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
All of a sudden, sounds similar to a huge block of ice suddenly cracking open could be heard. Fine cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the black sphere and shortly after, the cracks increased in quantity and became wider. In a blink of an eye, numerous cracks could be seen on the black sphere.
Finally, after several dull impacts, a hole appeared in the black spherical ball and a black figure covered with mucus crawled out from the inside.
Screech—
A burst of strange noise sounded. When looking at it carefully, the black figure was currently devouring the black sphere. It was unknown what material it was made of, but it had to be extremely hard. However, it was easily crushed by the black figure.
While devouring the black sphere, the black figure was gradually revealed. It was an unknown creature, the size of a cat with black scales all over its body along with a pair of ferocious-looking wings.
The weirdest thing was that it had two slightly curly tails behind it's back.
Gu gu!
After he finished devouring the black sphere, the unknown creature cried out happily. Soon after, it's skin suddenly burst into a dazzling golden light which instantly lit up the dim cave. The light disappeared in the blink of an eye while the viscous liquid on its body had also disappeared cleanly!
