Chapter 432: Disaster Underground

——I haven’t seen it. The demons always like to do some weird and disgusting things secretly.

Alice replied with disgust in her tone.

——Then do you know any way to get rid of this thing?

Ryan asked himself, if this thing really filled the entire underground of the border city, then even he would be helpless.

Maybe we can try to pull the old dragon Fangus from the imperial capital over? Although the old dragon's combat power is not very good, the power of its dragon breath is definitely one of the best among the dragons.

If we let the old dragon spray dragon breath into this pit day and night for several days in a row, maybe we can get rid of these black tentacles.

While Ryan was thinking, as if aware of the threat posed by Ryan, a black liquid suddenly emerged from under Ryan's feet, and then quickly turned into a huge tentacle that wrapped Ryan.

It was at this moment that Ryan sensed the familiar magical fluctuation.

So this is how they prey on humans...

As a sword light flashed, the tentacles wrapped around Ryan instantly turned into a pool of black liquid, spilled on the ground and disappeared without a trace.

Many people witnessed this scene, and they all turned pale with fright.

Ryan looked normal.

——I just felt it carefully, and it seems that this tentacle has only formed one layer, with an open space underneath.

——If I’m not mistaken, there may be something similar to a heart or a mother body in that space. If that thing is dealt with, these black tentacles should be able to be solved.

At this time, Alice also gave her own reply, which was also her summary of her understanding of the demons. This thing must have a responsible and dominant consciousness, otherwise it would not have been able to stay dormant here for such a long time.

Ryan nodded:

——Then I’ll go down and take a look.

——You should be careful.

When Alice heard Ryan say that he wanted to go down and take a look himself, she became more and more uneasy, but she did not stop Ryan after all.

After talking to Alice, Ryan turned his head and looked at Hu Lun, whose face was still pale. "There may be an empty layer under this tentacle. I'll go down and take a look. You continue to arrange for the evacuation of the people in Border City."

Hu Lun swallowed and nodded vigorously: "Okay, Grand Duke Ryan, please be safe!"

Ryan nodded slightly, and then looked at Yazhi: "Yazhi, you help Hu Lun evacuate the people. If the people are organized and I haven't come out yet, you leave with the people first."

After knowing this thing's hunting method, Ryan no longer had to be timid for Bud Branch. With his amulet, there was no possibility that this thing could hurt Bud Branch at all.

"My lord...be careful."

Yazhi looked at Ryan and said softly with concern.

"Don't worry, you don't trust me?"

Ryan smiled and rubbed Yazhi's head.

Then, Ryan faced the densely packed tentacles entangled in the pit, raised his hand to summon a huge fireball, and waved his hand to smash it into the pit.

There was a loud roar and a pillar of fire shot up into the sky from the pit.

As the pillar of fire dissipated, I looked down at the pit and found that the tentacles had disappeared, and there was indeed a space underneath.

Ryan immediately jumped into the pit.

Immediately afterwards, tentacles from all around rushed in and blocked the hole again, and everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

"Lord..."

Yazhi looked at the pit again, then suppressed all the uneasiness in her heart and stood up to help Hu Lun.

After landing, the first thing Ryan felt was the solidity of the ground.

This made Ryan breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was not a layer of tentacles underneath, otherwise it would be too disgusting to stand on a layer of tentacles.

Looking up, Ryan was about to observe the appearance of this space, but the hole above his head that transmitted light was suddenly blocked, and everything returned to darkness.

Ryan shrugged helplessly. Fortunately, such a dark space could not affect him.

Looking around, Ryan found that this layer of space was full of black...flesh pillars? Just like human muscles, they served as support pillars to support the black tentacles above.

The height of the entire space was only about five meters. From time to time, one or two pools of black liquid would fall down, soak into the soil and disappear.

In order to prevent this disgusting thing from getting on him, Ryan summoned a magic shield above his head.

The cost of continuously summoning the magic shield is negligible for Ryan now, and it has no effect if it is kept on.

——Go behind you.

Just when Ryan was confused about the pitch-black space, Alice reminded him again.

Ryan nodded, turned around, and strode towards the depths.

Along the way, the black tentacles above his head were surprisingly well-behaved and did not attack Ryan at all.

After walking for about half an hour, Ryan finally saw something very abrupt in this space.

This is a huge, irregular black ball of flesh. There is a faint red light beneath the black surface, beating regularly like a heart.

The top of the ball of flesh was tightly attached to the black tentacle at the top, and the bottom was rooted in the ground. It was about the same size as the house that Ryan had just demolished, and was as disgusting as the tentacles above.

"Just get rid of this thing."

Ryan drew out the black sword and walked towards the beating heart.

At this moment, several balls of black liquid suddenly condensed above Ryan's head and quickly fell towards Ryan!

Ryan frowned, dodged in an instant, and looked up, and saw that the black liquid did not immediately sink into the ground after falling to the ground, but began to wriggle wildly.

In a short while, several balls of black liquid turned into several balls of... black monsters.

The monster looks human-like overall, but its limbs and facial features are completely irregular. One of the monsters has two feet and one hand on the ground, one has a hand on the chest, and one has one foot on the ground with two hands and one foot on its back.

Each monster was about three meters tall, twisting irregularly and making strange creaking sounds from the dark cracks on its face.

Ryan felt the breath of life...inside these monsters' bodies.

——These monsters may be the transformed ones of the missing people.

After observing for a while, Alice made her own judgment.

Hearing this, veins suddenly bulged on the back of Ryan's hand that was holding the hilt of the sword.

But Ryan's expression remained calm, and he stepped forward with his sword raised.

At the same time, these monsters also rushed towards Ryan with strange screams.

A monster came to Ryan first and tried to attack him with the claws on its chest. Ryan raised his hand and cut off the claw with a sword, then turned around and slashed the monster's waist.

As the sword entered his body, Ryan immediately felt a slight resistance.

But it doesn’t affect!

With a little force, the sword blade cut the monster in half like cutting tofu. Then Ryan added another slash with the sword, directly splitting the monster into four pieces!

The remains of the monster fell to the ground, turned into a pool of black liquid, and soaked into the soil, disappearing without a trace.
