LORD OF THE SKY CITY

Chapter 728: Chapter 691: Disgusting

After Liliya left with Dusa, Rocky also sent He Nan away, leaving only himself to guard the rear.

He Nan didn’t say much about this decision, because through the recent and past battles, he had come to roughly understand Rocky’s strength. He knew that Rocky was definitely not inferior to him in terms of power, so he didn’t argue further. A flip of his body allowed him to dodge three tentacles sweeping from different directions, and he quickly caught up with Liliya and Dusa.

With their departure, only Rocky remained in the cave, facing an increasing number of tentacles. Before, these tentacles had only been stretching out from the left and right sides of the cave, but now even the ceiling and ground had begun to sprout tentacles.

Standing alone in the tunnel, Rocky swung his scythe to his left and right in a fluid motion, slicing through the tentacles advancing toward him with a couple of swift strokes. The severed tentacles thumped to the ground, writhing for a few moments before turning into lifeless lumps of flesh.

However, it was when Rocky was dealing with the tentacles on either side that the ones beneath his feet coiled around his ankles, binding him to the ground like numerous ropes, completely immobilizing him.

“Damn it!”

Realizing his feet were trapped, Rocky quickly reached down to the ground, intending to use a Magic Energy Bullet to break the tentacles, but then tentacles from above wrapped around his head and body. Tentacles also began growing out of the walls, elongating rapidly and, in the blink of an eye, knitting into a vast net that enveloped him and sealed off the entire cave…

“Rocky!”

The situation Rocky faced was complex when described, but it all transpired in a mere few seconds. Liliya, who was guiding Dusa deeper into the cave, turned her head and with the help of the light cast from her shoulder, witnessed the tentacles sealing off the cave and Rocky being enwrapped like a cocoon. Alarmed, she immediately turned back and rushed toward the scene.

“Don’t go back!”

Just as Liliya was about to rush back, He Nan, who had just come over, grabbed her arm.

“Let me go!”

Seized by the Beastman’s grasp, Liliya tried to break free, but found that his palm was clutching her like a vise, refusing to let go.

“There’s no use in going, City Lord Rocky will be fine.”

Turning to look at Liliya, He Nan urged her to calm down, because in his view, the danger was not significant enough for someone of Rocky’s abilities to fear for his life. However, if Liliya or Dusa were to be caught in it, the outcome would be uncertain, given that Liliya was not as powerful as Rocky.

However, Liliya had no intention of listening to He Nan. She shook her arm, trying to throw off his hand. At that moment, a burst of blood plasma suddenly exploded from the tunnel, which had been blocked by tentacles, and a flash of cold light followed. As countless tentacles were simultaneously severed, Rocky burst out from behind them.

Perhaps because he surged out too fiercely, Rocky couldn’t stay upright and fell to the ground. Liliya hurried over to help him up.

“Come over here.”

Striding to their side, He Nan without a word pulled them back. Thanks to He Nan’s quick reaction, for just as he had pulled Rocky and Liliya back a few steps, the tentacles that had been cut off grew back, flailing wildly for a moment before they tangled together and once again sealed off the cave.

“Thanks…”

Watching as the tentacles merely twisted around each other, Rocky let out a sigh of relief and gave He Nan a thumbs up, “I definitely don’t want to be caught again, it’s disgusting.”

While speaking, Rocky shook off the blood plasma from his body.

Since he had already been completely entangled by the tentacles, Rocky had no choice but to use his Magic Fang Scythe to cut all the tentacles that were binding him, resulting in him being splattered with blood plasma. Upon closer inspection, the blood plasma was not red, but purple, and it emitted a nauseating stench.

“I’m fine.”

After shaking off the plasma from his body, Rocky looked at Liliya and smiled before turning his head toward the tentacles that blocked the cave entrance.

“Now we finally know how those Beastmen got stuck in the walls.”

Looking at the tentacles that not only blocked the cave but were still slowly writhing, Rocky thought of the skeletons embedded in the walls, evidently, the Beastmen had been attacked by these tentacles before they died, dragged into the walls by them, and met their fate inside.

“Let’s not talk about that now, our way out is blocked.”

Liliya also glanced behind them and said, although Rocky had made it out, the tentacles had blocked their escape route, which definitely wasn’t a good thing.

“It’s okay, when the time comes, I can cut through these tentacles.”

Rocky frowned as he looked at the exit blocked by tentacles but wasn’t as worried as Liliya. After all, with the Magic Fang Scythe, cutting through the tentacles shouldn’t be too difficult.

So, after saying that, he turned to Chief He Nan, “Chief He Nan, you certainly don’t know what these tentacles are either, do you?”

“I don’t know…”

Hearing this, He Nan shook his head. He truly didn’t know what the tentacles attacking them were and had never heard of Demons of this kind before.

As for such a result, it wasn’t at all surprising to Rocky, or rather he had grown accustomed to it. Since entering this cave, almost everything he encountered couldn’t be explained reasonably, and over time he had stopped digging deeper.

But not digging deeper didn’t mean he was dismissive. Rocky always knew there was an answer to all these weird occurrences, and that answer lay within the cave, so he subsequently turned his head to look deeper into the cavern.

“Dusa? Where are you, Dusa?!”

Turning his head to look further into the cave, Rocky found it pitch dark and Dusa was nowhere to be seen!

Just a moment ago, Liliya and He Nan both focused on Rocky and neglected Dusa, so when they and Rocky looked together toward the depths of the cave, they became panicked, how could Dusa have disappeared?

“My lord, I’m here!”

However, just when everyone was somewhat flustered, the voice of Dusa came from deep within the cave, which relieved the three, and they quickly followed the sound toward the depths.

After walking about ten meters or so, Rocky finally saw Dusa’s figure, which put his mind at ease, and then he let his face fall.

“Dusa, you can’t just…”

“My lord, look.”

Just as Rocky was about to give Dusa a few words of reprimand for leaving without a sound, Dusa indeed interrupted him, then pointed ahead.
