Chapter 197 Looks Weak

The moment he fell, Lu Yao quickly opened his transparent tentacles to catch himself to avoid falling too hard.

After a few seconds, Lu Yao fumbled to her feet. She looked around, trying to confirm the environment she was in.

However, it was pitch black all around and Lu Yao could not see anything.

She stretched out her hand and tried to touch the surroundings, and stopped only when her palm felt something slippery like a wall.

Lu Yao moved closer, trying to figure out what the wall was.

The moment she approached, the 'wall' under her palm suddenly moved.

Live?

Lu Yao subconsciously withdrew her hand, and then she heard the ticking sound again.

The sound came from behind, and it even felt like it was getting closer to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao took two steps back. Just now, she suddenly realized that the wall in front of her didn't seem to be a wall. It was more like the intestinal wall of some creature.

She felt a tingling pain in her fingertips, and the wetness that her palm had just touched on the ground was obviously a substance like gastric juice.

Realizing this, Lu Yao wiped his hands immediately.

Fortunately, she reacted in time and her palm was only slightly corroded.

She put some distance between herself and the 'wall' while keeping an eye on the movements behind her.

The bells are getting closer... and closer...

At a certain moment, Lu Yao felt that the voice was already close to her back. As long as she turned back slightly, she would face the source of the voice!
Lu Yao did not move again. She slowed down and finally stopped, carefully listening to the movements around her.

She had been swallowed by the shadowy monster and was perhaps now in its stomach.

She needed to escape from here as quickly as possible, otherwise she would be digested and decomposed by gastric juice and become food for the monster.

Lu Yao's mind was working rapidly. She did not turn back to confirm the sound of the bell behind her but subconsciously reached for her pocket.

However, the next second, Lu Yao's movements paused.

Her sword was gone.

The rose sword that had pierced the illusion before was not swallowed by the monster along with her.

No, if the sword isn't here, then where is it?
Was he left outside along with Xing Yuan's illusion...

The ticking sound was almost close to Lu Yao's ears. She had no time to think and instead took out her broken axe.

Broken Axe had undergone an upgrade before, and its strength was greatly improved. At least it can easily kill some dungeon monsters.

Lu Yao grabbed it with his backhand and swung it fiercely behind him.

The axe blade hit the heavy object with a dull sound.

Lu Yao's wrist was numb from the shock and he almost dropped it.

She felt that the axe seemed to hit a piece of iron sheet, which was very hard.

Coming back to his senses, Lu Yao didn't hesitate any longer and swung the axe down again.

This time Lu Yao clearly heard the sound of something being chopped off.

She still didn't open her eyes to look at what was behind her, and acted based on her feeling.

Two times, three times...

Lu Yao didn't open his eyes until he was sure that the ticking sound in his ears had disappeared.

She took a flashlight from her pocket and looked over by the light.

I saw a huge old-fashioned clock lying on the ground behind me.

Its shape and style are exactly the same as the one Lu Yao saw in the bedroom before, but it is dozens of times larger than that one.

Lu Yao looked at the severed pendulum and saw some black stuff slowly seeping out from it.

The wooden shell of the clock fell to the ground, and at first glance it looked a bit like an unclosed coffin.

Lu Yao even thought that it wouldn't be strange if someone crawled out at this time. She stared at the clock for a while and took out a key from a groove under the pendulum.

She had seen old-fashioned clocks like this before, and most of them were kept running by springs.

But the key in Lu Yao's hand did not look like a pendulum's spring, it was indeed a golden key.

After Lu Yao took the key, he tried to find a place on the huge clock where he could put the key.

A few minutes later, Lu Yao turned the clock over and finally found a keyhole on the back of it.

The keyhole is very hidden and will most likely be overlooked if you don't look carefully.

Lu Yao took the key and walked closer, curious about what was inside.

Lu Yao put the key into the keyhole and slowly turned the key.

With a 'click' sound, the lock was opened.

Lu Yao opened the back of the clock and was immediately met with a blood-red eye.

In an instant, Lu Yao felt that the blood in his body had turned cold.

The eye stared at her, as if it could suck her in.

Realizing that something was wrong, Lu Yao quickly let go of his hand. However, it was still a moment too late.

The pair of eyes suddenly popped out from inside and pounced towards Lu Yao at an extremely fast speed.

Realizing that he had released a monster, Lu Yao took out a talisman from his pocket and waved it out while dodging.

The talisman paper drew an arc in the air and finally landed on the eye that was about to hit it.

In an instant, the eyes that were originally rushing towards Lu Yao stopped, and the moment it was wrapped by the talisman paper, a black mist spread around its body.

As the mist disappeared, the eye fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Lu Yao walked over and looked at the eye in the light.

Only then did she finally see clearly that the so-called eye was actually made of stone.

She reached out and picked up the eye, and found that its edges were rough, as if it had been chiseled out of a stone statue.

Why would something like this be locked in a giant clock?

As Lu Yao was thinking, he suddenly smelled an unpleasant odor.

The smell was like the smell of burning garbage, so unpleasant and choking.

Realizing that the monster seemed to have begun to digest the food it had swallowed, Lu Yao immediately turned around and picked up the broken axe on the ground to try to find a way to survive.

……

Tan Yan suddenly opened her eyes, and what she saw was the familiar Ji family banquet hall.

Her memory still lingers on the time when she and Lu Yao were looking for a way out.

But now she seemed to be suddenly thrown out of that space.

She tried to find Lu Yao, but what she saw was a monster running and tearing things around.

In the banquet hall, the players who were controlled by the monsters had completely lost control.

They attacked everything around them indiscriminately. In a panic, Qin Yan saw the two girls following Lu Yao.

They were fighting with the monsters in the crowd. Although they looked weak, they were not at a disadvantage when fighting.

While thinking, Gu Yuezheng had already split open the head of a monster.

Tan Yan was unable to find Lu Yao, and she judged that Lu Yao should not have come out of the shrine yet.

But now is not the time to think about these things. Tan Yan looked at the monster rushing towards her and prepared to deal with it.

On the stage, Ji's mother had already turned into a huge vine, with only a face hanging on the vine, looking around.

Father Ji was tied up by vines and thrown into a corner. It seemed that his previous escape plan had failed.

Ji Ran was pulled up by Ji's mother using vines. With his expressionless face, he looked like a rag doll hanging on the vines.
