The mutant finally squeezed its entire body out of the passage and slowly unfolded in the stone chamber.
The rotten flesh and blood was still rolling and flowing, the eyeballs that were rolling up and down were full of despair, and the mouth opened and closed feebly, but could only make a low and indistinct cry.
Pan Yue carefully identified the mouth shapes and found that they invariably repeated one sentence.
"Please, kill us."
At this moment, a human face suddenly emerged from the flesh. It had complete facial features and fierce eyes that were completely different from other "people".
It thrust forward suddenly, and the entire mutant approached Pan Yue.
"Pan Yue, I leave it to you. Remember not to use black magic."
Fang Yang said as he put away the fire ring and took a few steps back, showing no intention of helping.
"..."
Pan Yue looked back and had no choice but to brace herself for the fight.
As he raised his hand and waved away, a light blue tongue of fire twisted and flew towards the mutant. Seeing this, the face quickly got into the flesh, and the entire mutant was instantly split in half by Pan Yue.
The split mutants were still rolling and flowing, one on the left and one on the right, attacking Pan Yue close to the ground.
"Ice!"
Pan Yue followed the example of an explorer and condensed ice on the mutant on the left, nailing it firmly to the ground.
The mutant kept twisting and tearing off the parts of itself that were not frozen, and slid faster along the ice towards Pan Yue, while the mutant on the right was already close in front of him.
Pan Yue quickly dodged forward, and the two pools of mutants passed by him with strange cries, and merged together again after landing.
He imitated Fang Yang and raised his hands behind his head, and several wind blades shot at the mutant from behind.
"Hey, you're confused, Pan Yue!"
As Fang Yang sighed, the wind blade tore several small holes on the mutant body.
The power of his wind blade was far less powerful than Fang Yang's. The mutant didn't seem to be hurt at all. Instead, it split itself into four or five pieces and rushed towards Pan Yue through the gaps.
Pan Yue tried his best to condense an ice wall to seal the passage, but his destiny was fire, so he could barely control flames. His ability to control other natural elements was pitifully weak, and the ice wall only rose.
It stopped after less than one meter.
The mutants climbed over the ice wall and continued to attack him. Pan Yue quickly lit a circle of flames around him, and then made them stop in front of him.
This size... doesn't seem right...
At the moment Pan Yue realized something was strange, the largest mutant walked around the ring of fire along the top of the channel and pounced on Pan Yue.
The mutant seemed weak but was very powerful. Pan Yue was pressed firmly against the wall and could not move. The surrounding fire ring gradually extinguished in panic, and the other mutants took the opportunity to quickly come closer.
As the mutants continued to merge and expand, the ferocious human face reappeared, and with increasing pressure, Pan Yue was almost embedded in the wall.
Avalanches, floods, landslides...
Pictures of these disasters emerged in Pan Yue's mind, just as he felt at this moment - the mutant was about to completely engulf him, but he couldn't move.
Will I suffer the same fate as those corpses?
At the last moment of his life, what he thought of was Hua Tianming's contemptuous expression.
The savior Pan Yue has fought against so many White Walkers. Without black magic, can’t he defeat even a mere mutant?
Is this what Hua Tianming wants to see?
I can not be reconciled!
At this moment, hatred and unwillingness rekindled Pan Yue's fighting spirit, blue flames burned blazingly on his body, and the part of the mutant that originally held him down was melted in an instant.
"This is your weakness!"
Pan Yue screamed and pinched the face with his hands, and the originally arrogant facial features gradually shrank in painful distortion.
He will not give in, the dilemma will only fully stimulate his potential, just like when he fell into the illusion of the Purple Feathered Eagle, the same will be true for every danger he encounters in the future!
He concentrated all his strength on his fingertips, and the grey-green rotten human face turned black little by little, and finally a pungent smell came out.
After a while, Pan Yue felt that the sticky and soft feeling on her fingertips gradually became stiff, and the face had been completely burned into a blackened piece and embedded in the flesh.
He pulled hard and the face was pulled out of the mutated form.
The puddle of flesh instantly collapsed to the ground as if it had lost its support, making a sizzling sound.
"Thank you...we are free..."
The originally vague words became clear, the noisy cries subsided, and the mutants all melted into the remaining heat of the flames in the tranquility.
The blue fire slowly extinguished, and darkness swallowed the entire tunnel.
Pan Yue leaned tiredly against the wall and sat on the ground, breathing heavily, forcing herself not to echo the helpless and desperate eyes of the mutants.
"When scarlet covered the earth, most ordinary people became victims of the powerless struggle like them. This is why everyone has high hopes for you, because you are the one predicted in the Book of Revelation to lead us to face the judgment."
Fang Yang walked to Pan Yue and sat down, comforting him with a serious tone for the first time.
"Pan Yue, I'm just an ordinary person with good luck. I've tried my best. Going back to the past is just your first step, because things in the past have already happened. I believe you can do it. But you will still face it eventually.
The future is a completely unknown world."
"The future...the unknown world...what do you mean?"
"The circle of light began to spread outward from Huguang Village. I initially spent nearly twenty years preventing it all, and almost succeeded - it stopped when it swallowed two-thirds of the world."
When Fang Yang said this, his tone suddenly became a little weird.
"until......"
"Um?"
"Until two weeks ago, since you reappeared in this world, its spread has continued."
Pan Yue was shocked speechless by the news, and his mind went blank for a moment of helplessness and guilt.
"Could it be that...all the disasters are really caused by me...the rumors of the coming are not feudal superstition at all..."
"Pan Yue, it's not your fault, you are just an innocent child. Hua Tianming told me that all this was written in the Book of Revelation a long time ago, but I didn't believe it at the time."
"..."
"That's why I choose to work with him now."
"So... what about the future? What does the Book of Revelation say about what will happen next?"
"What happens next will all happen at the bottom of the lake in the City of Mist."
"..."
Pan Yue didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky that he didn't read those manuscripts carefully at that time.
"Pan Yue, since you have this ability and destiny, I hope you can insist on doing what you think is right, even...even if one day I can no longer protect you. Hua Tianming and I agree on one thing.
:When the aperture envelopes the world, everything will come to its final conclusion, perhaps purification or destruction.”
"I...I'll do my best."
"This is the day of judgment that the Son of Light calls you. You are the last hope of mankind."
"..."
Although Pan Yue had vaguely realized that things were not as simple as he initially thought, he really did not expect that he would have to bear such a big responsibility.
Different complex emotions arose in the hearts of both of them, and there was silence in the narrow tunnel.
Click.
Click.
Click.
The passage suddenly made a slight noise, and the surrounding walls swayed rhythmically with the sound. Some sand and stones fell on the two of them from the top.
Pan Yue and Fang Yang stood up and lit fire rings around their bodies. The sound and shaking stopped instantly.
In the flickering firelight, they saw that only one of the two passages that originally ran through the stone chamber was left in front, and the road they took when they came disappeared in the brief darkness.
Pan Yue and Fang Yang looked at each other in surprise, and a terrible suspicion came into their minds.
