Chapter 660 The Demon Behind the Scenes
Chapter 660 The Demon Behind the Scenes
"It's actually underground?"
Lin Yu felt that at this moment he seemed to have gained a detached, third-person perspective, just like turning on the God's perspective and spectator mode in the game.
However, this perspective cannot be manipulated completely freely, but goes straight in a certain direction - after all, this perspective is to give Lin Yu "answers and truth".
Soon, after passing through a long rock layer, Lin Yu felt that his perspective had come deep underground.
Suddenly, my eyes lit up - there was a hole underground!
A bright light flickered within the cavity, and the source of the light was...
"magma?"
Lin Yu looked at the winding lava river in some surprise.
Beside this lava river, deep underground, there are many dilapidated human buildings, shrouded in large shadows, but you can vaguely see that it was once a prosperous human residence.
Lin Yu discovered that at this moment, this perspective seemed to have unlocked control.
Confined within this underground space, he can move his perspective freely.
Lin Yu manipulated his vision and looked around, like a ghost wandering through this ancient town.
The cobblestone streets were covered with thick dust, and the slabs were broken like spider webs, revealing the sand underneath.
The houses with blue bricks and gray tiles have long been eroded by time, and many of the walls and roofs have collapsed.
The wooden door frames and window frames of the house had long since rotted away, leaving only broken frames.
As his consciousness swept across the houses from one end of the town to the other, Lin Yu unexpectedly saw an ancient stone tablet standing there with the words "Liuzhen" written on it.
"Sure enough, this abandoned town is Liu Town!"
Lin Yu got the answer in his heart.
But he did not forget that the answer he wanted to know was not the location of "Liu Town", but the mastermind behind everything.
As for who was the mastermind behind this, Lin Yu had a vague guess in his mind.
Lin Yu used his mind to zoom out, and then... the scene he expected came into view.
Even though it was a scene that Lin Yu had expected, when he actually saw it, it still shocked him!
The one lurking above the abandoned Liu Town, lying on the rock wall of the underground cave, casting a large shadow covering the Liu Town... is the "mastermind" that Lin Yu is looking for.
It was a terrifying, huge, gigantic demon lurking in the cave.
This is its nest, and the entire Liu Town is like its toy!
And what's even worse is...
As if it had noticed his gaze, the terrifying existence opened its eyes.
The scarlet eyes lit up - even though Lin Yu seemed to have no form at this moment, it still seemed to be staring at Lin Yu.
Through the mysterious power, Lin Yu felt that his soul was looking into the eyes of this terrifying existence!
"Click..."
A terrifying, tiny, and slight sound was heard, and Lin Yu felt creepy.
"Shhhhh!"
In the shadows inside the cave that were not illuminated by the magma, more and more bright red eyes lit up!
"Boss, stop looking!"
When Lin Yu's will was almost devoured, Lao Zheng's ability to directly act on the mind interrupted Lin Yu's ability.
The moment Lin Yu woke up, a huge feeling of dizziness filled his mind.
But putting aside the physical discomfort, the last scene he saw brought an even more severe psychological impact to Lin Yu - even he, who was usually calm, had a layer of cold sweat on his face.
"What do you see?"
Li Nian asked anxiously.
She rarely saw Lin Yu with such an expression, so she naturally became nervous.
Lin Yu tried hard to overcome the dizziness and recalled the last scene he saw...
The crimson eyes and the glow of the lava illuminated pale white threads spreading in all directions, a massive, mountainous being covered in a thick black carapace and endowed with eight slender legs...
"spider."
Lin Yu let out a breath.
"Deep beneath our feet lies a huge cave, and inside it lies a spider as big as a mountain!"
He finally knew what he had always felt was the most awkward part of the mountain.
In the Hellfire's high temperatures, mosquitoes are extremely rare, but why are there spider silk and webs everywhere?!
Moreover, every time someone disappears, there will be spider silk left there.
Now it seems that there is a spider as big as the entire mountain living right under their feet, right below Double Saw Mountain!
This also confirms Lin Yu's guess that this guy can influence areas beyond the range of Shuangsaw Mountain.
Because spiders can weave webs!
Hearing Lin Yu say this, Fei Dao's face turned pale: "What, spider?!"
Lin Yu looked at Fei Dao: "Do you know the origin of this spider?"
"No, I'm just particularly afraid of spiders... To be more precise, I'm afraid of all insects."
"Let me correct you. Spiders are not insects. They belong to the class Arachnida, which is on par with the class Insecta," Lin Yu corrected calmly, "and they eat insects."
Fei Dao was a little overwhelmed: "Thank you for your scientific knowledge, but is now the time to talk about this?"
"I'm actually not that afraid of spiders, but only if they're not as big as a mountain," Li Nian complained. "The mastermind behind all this is a spider demon the size of a mountain. How are we supposed to deal with it?"
"I don't know, but we'd better run first—now start to get up slowly and move gently."
Lin Yu had almost recovered from his dizziness at this time, and he stood up and spoke.
"What? Didn't you just say there's no need to run?" Li Nian was a little surprised. "We have to deal with it eventually, right?"
"Yes, that thing is entrenched above 'Liu Town'," Lin Yu said, then paused and continued, "But... the problem is, as I said just now, it is right below our feet."
"Those escorts and players are gone. Did you notice?"
As Lin Yu spoke, Li Nian noticed that all the natives and players had disappeared - the entire Taoist temple was covered with pale spider silk that looked old but had actually just appeared.
The spider silk swayed everywhere, and at first glance it seemed to be blown by the wind, but in fact... the swaying was like tentacles, with a regular pattern and active exploration intention.
Spiders naturally determine the location and direction of their prey by transmitting vibrations along their silk threads.
This scene scared Li Nian so much that his scalp went numb.
"When did this happen?!"
"It should have been just now."
Lin Yu walked out the door with steady and unhurried steps.
Li Nian grabbed the flying knife and quickly followed.
"I just used my ability to spy on it and it has already woken it up. It was originally asleep, but now it has woken up."
Lao Zheng's voice rang out at the right moment: "Boss, it found you!"
Hearing Lao Zheng's voice, Lin Yu no longer hesitated.
"run!"
"We've been exposed—run as fast as you can!"
