I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 242 A Chance Encounter in the Abyss
Deep in the abyss, central area.

"Hiss..." The tall figure with wings crawled on all fours in the city wrapped in thick fog, breathing hard.

She tried hard to inflate her lungs and took in a large gulp of air, but her hypoxic condition did not improve much - part of her lungs had become necrotic, and the efficiency of oxygen exchange was very poor.

This... useless body! !
The apostle had to stop again to rest.

It's all because of those blasphemers...

When he thought about this, his anger surged up again uncontrollably.

Encountering an enemy by the blood lake, she originally wanted to avenge the previous destruction of the pasture and hunt for the core, but she was defeated by an army from the opposite side.

In desperation, she had to abandon part of the core and transfer the brain and parasite to the corpse she had found at the bottom of the lake.

Those Abyssians were actually dead long ago, and they remained in the world as corpses because of the effect of the blood lake.This half-dead body was by no means a good one, but she had no other choice at that time.

Now her condition is very poor. She abandoned her original body and used the parasite to transfer her already weak body. She also used up her cell reserves to barely revive this half-dead body.

As soon as the body left the blood lake, it began to return to the death process. A large number of organs rapidly failed and the ends of the limbs became necrotic. She could only barely revive part of her body to support herself in escaping from the battlefield.

She has to get a new body as soon as possible, or hunt some creatures to absorb cells and nutrients.

But she is too weak and powerless now. It takes all her strength to maintain this body. If she wants her body to regain its fighting power, she needs to undergo a comprehensive transformation of her body.

Now, she is afraid that even if she wants to hunt adult-level prey, she can only consider juvenile relatives and ordinary animals.

There is no such prey in the depths of the abyss. She needs to trek a long distance to the shallow area, and along the way she has to avoid other family members that she cannot handle.

She herself was not sure whether this body could hold up until she met a suitable prey, but driven by the will to survive, she lifted up her heavy limbs and crawled again.

Just then, a gust of wind blew, and she suddenly caught a strange smell.

Human smell!I'm afraid it's just over ten kilometers away from the direction the wind is blowing from.

Her spirits suddenly rose.

This smell is different from those of the blasphemers. Besides them, there are other humans who have entered this abyss to explore.

It is very dangerous for humans to enter this depth of exploration. They are often powerfully armed and have excellent fighting qualities.

But humans also have a weakness that no other creature has, which is that their vision is blocked by gray fog.

At this depth, the visibility for them would not exceed five meters. Although they seemed to be able to recognize her reaction through something, she still had the conditions to ambush the opponent as long as the location was suitable.

As long as she can find an opportunity to hurt someone, she can seize a new body. At that time, she will quickly regain her vitality and have the power to compete with a team of armed hunters.

She actually doesn't have much chance anymore, and the risk of continuing to trek outwards is not much lower than the risk of trying her luck with these humans.

After a moment of hesitation, she gathered her strength and crawled in that direction.

……

Among the ruins of the city, figures wearing protective clothing walked carefully through the thick fog, three in front and three in the back, rifles pointed in six directions.

Suddenly, one person's detector produced a reaction from an abyssal creature. The reaction only appeared for a moment and then disappeared.

"The target has been found, it is on the edge of detection, it has disappeared, and the level cannot be measured." The man reported to his teammates.

"Go over there and take a look, first determine the level." The leader said.

The six people lined up and marched along the street in the direction of the reaction. Soon the person walking in front detected the reaction again, but it was also fleeting, and because the distance was too far, the level could not be determined.

After repeating it twice, the team leader suddenly became vigilant: "Isn't he trying to lure us on purpose?"

Having a mind dedicated to luring prey is nothing, but being able to control the distance of an abyss biological detector to perform such a trick is beyond the capabilities of ordinary intelligence.

While they were still hesitating in place, they were alerting in different directions, paying attention to the rear of the nearby bunker and the interior of the house. In this space filled with gray fog, if you don't pay attention, you will always miss something.

No one noticed that the manhole cover at one person's feet had already loosened. A somewhat festered hand stretched out from the gap, grabbed a person's ankle, and pulled it suddenly.

The man screamed and was dragged towards the long-dried sewer, and the manhole cover was knocked over.

When the others turned around, they only had time to see his hands clutching the edge.

Several gunshots were heard in the well, and screams were also heard at the same time. Someone tried to step forward to pull him out. Blood suddenly spurted out, and the hand was released and was completely pulled deep into the well.

"Don't get close, keep a distance of four meters to surround!!" The team leader shouted, stopping those who wanted to keep approaching.

The opponent's intelligence was higher than they imagined, and when they first stopped to get suspicious, they actually ambushed them through the city's sewers.

Cold laughter echoed in the air, and the other party was still laughing at them.

Now the leader was convinced that they were facing an apostle.

The blood-stained hands climbed up the edge of the inspection well again, and their teammates climbed up from the well under their gaze. They had already taken off their protective clothing, their clothes were also torn, and their skin was covered with scars. It looked like the wound was glued with some kind of dark red gelatinous substance.

At the same time, everyone's detectors sounded the alarm: "Apostle's reaction! Apostle's reaction!"

A dangerous red outline flashed across the man's body, and the man looked up with a sneer.

"Ah...messenger of God!" Someone suddenly sighed softly.

"Shoot!!" The leader gave the order, and five rifles fired at the same time. However, the apostle was only hit a few times by the gun, and then suddenly charged towards the leader directly opposite him like a normal person.

The apostle jumped directly across the four-meter distance and knocked down the leader.

"After the appetizer, it's time for the main meal!!" the apostle said with a laugh.

The new tentacles tore her own back and grew out, with sharp bone scalpels at the end, aiming at the knocked down leader.

But at this moment, an afterimage flashed past her behind, and before she felt the pain, the newly grown tentacles had already broken.

"Lord!!" The five humans present all shouted excitedly.

The apostle turned his head in surprise and saw the centaur-shaped monster waving the bone blade growing on its arm and waving away the blood.

"This is really an unexpected harvest." The Lord of Time locked his eyes on the apostle.
