The Chosen of Slaanesh in Infinite Worlds

These stone steps and stone walls seem to be telling the glory and hardships of the past.

As the torches were lit, Ingrid, the vanguard of the team, used her unique black flame ability. With a flick of her finger, the spider web at the entrance of the cave was burned clean. The eight people walked in together and began their adventure.

The stone steps first extended all the way downwards.

After walking for about two or three minutes, the terrain gradually became flat.

The straight tunnel stretched forward, as if leading them into the unknown depths.

The originally smooth stone walls have also changed. Square stone chambers of 200cm×80cm×50cm have been carved out on the stone walls on both sides of the tunnel.

In each of these stone chambers, there lies a dried corpse wearing armor.

The faces of these mummies are already blurred, but their armor still shines with a cold light, as if telling of their former bravery and glory.

These stone chambers are like freezers, housing the remains of the soldiers who died on the battlefield.

106. Spider Web

From a certain unique perspective, spider webs can indeed be regarded as the eyes of spiders. They capture any tiny vibrations through those fine and sensitive spider silk, thereby accurately determining the location of their prey.

This wonderful mechanism of nature has put everyone in danger at this moment.

"That is to say, there is a high possibility that we have been discovered by these spiders hiding in the dark. We must all be extra careful and cautious with every step." Link lowered his voice, his tone revealing a seriousness that could not be ignored.

"Yeah." The teammates responded briefly and firmly. Everyone was on edge, looking around vigilantly, as if there was a breath of danger in the air.

Link's eyes scanned the dim cave, and he felt an uneasy feeling in his heart.

"I think this is definitely not a simple place for villagers to take refuge. Look, these mummies wearing armor, their number and equipment are too abnormal..." He frowned and thought, his voice low and powerful, trying to piece together fragments of the truth from the scene before him.

Violena tightly grasped Link's cloak, her fingers trembling slightly with nervousness, and her voice trembled a little: "Could it be... this is a cemetery? A cursed place?"

Her eyes were filled with fear and anxiety, as if she would be swallowed up by the dead silence and darkness at any time.

Stella, the most knowledgeable member of the team, carefully observed the armor on the mummy, frowning: "These armors are indeed unusual. They are not the standard equipment of any of the Seven Shield Alliance countries. Instead, they are more like... the legendary demon army that launched a fierce attack on the central part of the continent..." There was a hint of uncertainty in her tone, but more of a deep worry about the unknown.

Ingrid swung the sword in her hand again, and a blazing black flame instantly rose up, burning the dense spider webs in front of her to ashes.

These spider webs are not only scattered throughout the cave, but also extremely tough and sticky. Even if Link touches it lightly with a stick, he will stick to it and it is difficult to get rid of it. In comparison, the toughness of these spider silks is even better than that of human hair. If someone is unfortunately completely wrapped in it, it is almost impossible to break free.

However, Ingrid can easily deal with these spider webs, all thanks to her special ability called "Magic Flame".

Under her control, this black flame was like a loyal servant, only targeting the spider webs that blocked the way forward, and not harming the cave ruins themselves. As the black flame advanced, the scene at the end of the tunnel gradually appeared before everyone's eyes. It was a shocking huge skeleton, standing like a mountain, supporting the entire tomb!

"Oh my God! What kind of creature is this?"

The group couldn't help but exclaim in amazement; the scene before them was beyond their imagination.

The huge skeleton is deeply embedded in the mountain and merges with the cave, as if it was a resting place specially prepared by nature for this huge creature.

Link tried to estimate the size of the entire cave, and he was surprised to find that the space was almost equivalent to the area of four football fields combined. The overall structure was an elliptical structure, and their current location was only the front half of the abdominal cavity of this huge creature!

"Legend has it that in the depths of the distant North Sea, there lives a gigantic monster called Kronos. Some people also call it a Titan. Legend has it that it is the mount of the gods..."

Lillian's voice sounded behind Link, with a hint of awe and mystery.

"I didn't expect that there would be such a huge monster in this world..."

Link muttered to himself. He looked back at the cave entrance. He was even more shocked. It turned out that what they had always thought was the entrance to the cave was actually the mouth of this monster. The entire tomb was built on the remains of this giant beast!

"It's quite a feat to build a tomb with the bones of this monster after its death..." Stella sighed, her eyes flashing with awe for the ancient civilization.

"It is difficult for ordinary demons, even generals of the demon clan, to have a tomb of this size. This is most likely the mausoleum of a demon royal family, or a place closely related to the gods they believe in..."

Link nodded. He was well aware of the supreme status of imperial power and divine authority in this world. Perhaps only these two had the strength to build such a huge tomb.

In order to find more clues, Link raised his head and tried to shine the torch light on the pictures on the stone walls of the cave. Those murals seemed to hide ancient secrets, waiting for the interpretation of the destined person.

"What is this?" Ashaji asked curiously. Like Ingrid and Violina, she was confused and puzzled by the strange ancient characters on the murals.

"Hey, it's my turn now!"

Lillian confidently raised the torch, moved closer to the mural, and began to study it carefully.

As the magician in the team and undoubtedly an intellectual, her biggest hobby is reading various ancient books. Now is a good opportunity for her to show her skills.

"This... this is actually the ancient demon language!"

"Ancient Demon Clan text?"

Lillian frowned and brought the torch closer to the murals to interpret them.

"In ancient times, when the stars were dim, the gods often gathered together and tried to decide who would be the ruler of the world by rolling dice..." Lillian translated the contents of the mural for everyone while looking at the ancient text.

"But the results are always regrettable. The gods always roll the dice with the same result. No one can determine the winner based on this..." She continued with a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

"Are all these gods board game fans? Why do they like to roll dice so much?" Link couldn't help but complain, causing Stella to roll her eyes. In this place full of unknowns and dangers, Link was definitely the first one who dared to make such a direct comment on the gods.

"Okay, tell me quickly, what happened next?" Violina urged, her curiosity had been completely aroused.

"Well... because the dice could not decide the outcome, in the end, the gods decided to create their own followers and races, allowing them to thrive on this land. The gods observed the development of their followers, watched them walk different paths, go through their own trials, and draw completely different life trajectories, and they enjoyed it." Lillian continued to translate the contents of the mural.

"However, as time went on, some of the gods gradually became tired of the harmonious coexistence of their followers. They began to send down oracles, guiding their followers to wage wars, and even created the existence of warcraft and dungeons, adding more variables and challenges to this continent." The content of the mural came to an abrupt end here, and the rest of the mural was so damaged by the erosion of time that it could not be seen clearly.

"These guys really have a bad taste! Leading their own race to start a war just to watch a good show?" Yuna sighed. She also found it difficult to understand the behavior of these gods.

"We can only believe half of these so-called records, right?" Stella expressed her doubts. She believed that these murals might just be the imagination or exaggeration of the ancient people.

Everyone has their own opinions on the authenticity of the murals.

Link did not express his opinion directly. After a moment of silence, he turned his gaze to other parts of the cave. Judging from the current signs, this place is likely to be inextricably linked to "divine power", perhaps a place for sacrifice or other religious activities.

Otherwise, the murals should record the glorious deeds of a king's life, rather than anything related to God.

However, does God really exist in this world?

Link has always been skeptical about this. As an atheist, he believes that the so-called gods are just people who are powerful beyond imagination.

For example, if strength is divided into levels, then one day I will be able to cultivate to level 100 or even level 200. At that time, will I become a god in the eyes of those who are only level 1?

Link shook his head gently, trying to dispel these unrealistic thoughts from his mind.

He moved the torch to another cave again, intending to continue exploring the murals there, when suddenly, a stream of emerald green liquid fell from the sky like a meteor, shooting straight at Lillian who was still concentrating on studying the murals!

"Lillian! Be careful!"

Link was quick to warn loudly. Lillian was also very alert, and when she heard Link's shout, she immediately dodged to the side.

Although she did not see the specific attack, her trust in Link made her evade almost instinctively, and she luckily avoided this fatal attack!

After the emerald green liquid fell into the air, it splashed onto the stone wall, instantly making a "sizzling" corrosion sound, as if even the stone could be dissolved by it.

"Corrosive poison!"

Yuna exclaimed, her eyes full of fear. Everyone looked up and saw that giant spiders of huge size had crawled out from the cracks in the stone wall at the top of the cave!

The bodies of these spiders are incredibly huge. Each one has a round belly as big as a large motorcycle. Their sharp black fangs are as thick as a baby's arm and flash a heart-pounding cold light.

These spiders moved slowly, looking for their next prey, and their team had undoubtedly become the target of these horrible creatures.

107. Goddess

These spiders vary in color, some are dark gray, while others have strange and weird patterns. They are covered with ugly and hard bristles, as if they were defensive armor specially put on them by nature.

However, on that huge abdomen, there were all the same dark red lines without exception. The lines were winding and tortuous, like ancient runes or mysterious totems, exuding an unspoken weird aura.

Specifically, they look like enlarged versions of wolf spiders, only they are larger in size and more ferocious.

"They are frost spiders! Be careful, they can spray venom and spider silk!" Stella, an experienced member of the team, recognized the origin of these spiders at a glance and hurriedly reminded everyone.

Frostbite Spider, a terrifying creature that lives in dark and damp places and makes a living by hunting.

Unlike the spiders that most people are familiar with, they actually have 5 pairs of legs, which means a total of 10 legs.

When launching an attack, the two front claws will stand up like a warrior's sword, and the sharp and pointed legs will flash with cold light, stabbing at the prey like a dagger, at a speed that is hard to defend against.

Combined with the deadly poison contained in their bodies and the spider webs that can restrict the movement of prey, ordinary Black Iron-level adventurers often find it difficult to escape the fate of being hunted when facing these frost-biting spiders. At this moment, at a glance, no less than thirty frost-biting spiders have emerged in the area where everyone is located. They are crawling or leaping, slowly approaching everyone.

"Damn it, this time we've really disturbed the spider's nest!" Link couldn't help but curse, looking at the increasing number of frost-biting spiders around him with a serious expression.

The situation was urgent and there was no room for hesitation or delay. We had to respond with all our strength, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Everyone's eyes became firm, and they held their weapons tightly, ready to face the upcoming battle.

With a cold snort, Link directly activated the energy shield on his armor, as if he was wearing an invisible magic shield, blocking several people in front of him, becoming the most solid shield for everyone.

Although the frost-biting spiders were difficult to deal with, they were relatively obvious targets due to their large size. With the help of Eloi's accurate bow and arrow shooting and Lillian's clever long-range magic, everyone was able to resist the attack of the frost-biting spiders for a while. However, the corrosive venom sprayed by these spiders became a major problem for everyone.

Once arrows and weapons are accidentally stained with these venoms, they will be quickly corroded. Long swords will become bumpy and easy to break, and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, the frost spider is extremely flexible. Even if it is hit, it is often just thrown away and most likely not to die.

They would stagger back to their feet and continue to attack everyone. Only by accurately piercing their vital points with a sword could they be killed in one fell swoop. In such a battle, Stella's giant axe had a lot of advantages, and every swing could take the life of one or two frost-biting spiders.

Even so, the losses in this battle were still quite heavy. Many weapons were damaged in the battle, and they had to buy new ones after returning. But everyone also understood that now was not the time to worry about these things. Only after overcoming the current crisis could they consider other things.

Link swung the sword in his hand, and the sword flashed like lightning, cutting a frost spider in half. He ignored the sizzling corrosion sound coming from the sword and continued to launch a fierce attack on the other frost spider. His figure shuttled through the narrow corridor, leading everyone to fight and retreat. With his superb swordsmanship and the defensive power of the energy shield, he was not in any danger for a while.

Although the loss is relatively large, the materials obtained by killing these frost spiders are also quite rich. The shells and venom of frost spiders are both excellent materials, and the rewards they can exchange for in the guild are a full 50 times that of goblin soldiers!

Faced with such temptation, everyone ignored everything else and tried their best to fight a desperate battle with the frost-biting spider.

By the time everyone retreated to the back half of the cave and crossed the narrow corridor, they had killed more than a dozen frost spiders.

Seeing that there were only a few frost spiders left, Link no longer insisted on fighting alone. He took a big step back and prepared to let others take over.

"Ingrid, use Black Flame!" Link shouted.

"Okay!" Ingrid responded, waving the sword in her hand. She hummed a spell: "Evil Flame Breaker!"

In an instant, black flames attached to the sword like fire. As she swung the sword, "sword energy" formed by the black flames flew towards the frost spiders like sharp arrows.

The frostbitten spiders touched by the black flames turned into ashes in the blink of an eye with a miserable hissing sound. Ingrid took this opportunity to frantically harvest experience. Her figure shuttled across the battlefield like a black lightning, and wherever she went, the frostbitten spiders fell one after another.

As if sensing that these adventurers were not easy to deal with, the remaining frost spiders chose to retreat.

They hid back in the cracks at the top of the cave and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Seeing the frost spiders being driven back by Ingrid, Link was relieved. He looked around and confirmed that there were no missed frost spiders, then began to plan the next move.

"Ingrid, pay attention to your surroundings to prevent these frost-biting spiders from making a comeback. Yuna, protect Lillian and the others, and everyone else, hurry up and collect the fangs and venom sacs of these spiders. These are all good monster materials and cannot be wasted." Link ordered.

"Okay, Lord Link!" Everyone responded and started to act.

The venom in the venom sac of the frostbite spider can be used to poison weapons and increase their power; and their fangs are good materials for making poisoned daggers. These materials are good choices to exchange for cash at the guild or to take them to the weapon shop to make weapons.

After collecting all the materials that could be collected, Link nodded with satisfaction. He knew the preciousness of these materials and understood that no resource should be wasted on the road of adventure. Only when you manage a household do you know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. These seemingly insignificant materials are actually gold coins!

However, Ingrid paid a heavy price for using the black flame. Fortunately, she was not allowed to do it at the beginning, otherwise all these materials would be scrapped. With the strength Ingrid showed, it is estimated that she could kill these frost-biting spiders by herself.

Worried that the frost-biting spiders would come back, the group did not stay here for long after collecting. They quickly packed up and immediately set off to the next cave. This cave was located in the back half of the giant monster skeleton and was completely different from the previous cave covered with murals.

The interior space is still huge, but it seems much more empty. There is only one altar standing alone in the entire cave, which is particularly eye-catching.

The huge altar is built in a hexagonal shape. I don't know what light refraction method is used, but the cave is not dark. The light from the top of the cave can shine straight down, illuminating the entire altar, making the place full of a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

At each corner of the hexagonal altar, there is a huge stone pillar that is as thick as four or five people holding together. These stone pillars are connected from the altar to the top of the cave, as if they are a bridge between heaven and earth. Different patterns are carved on each stone pillar, some of which are ferocious monsters, some are strange runes, and some seem to depict ancient legends and stories.

In the middle of the altar, there is a bronze statue of a woman, which is so lifelike that it looks like a real person.

Her figure was graceful and voluptuous, her expression was lazy and charming, as if she could seduce people's souls. However, in that charming look, she also revealed a kind of sacred and inviolable temperament, which made people dare not have the slightest blasphemous heart.

"This seems to be... the god worshipped by the demons, the goddess Anasta..." Violena whispered, with a hint of trembling and awe in her voice. She had heard of the legend about this god, but she never thought she would see her altar here with her own eyes.

"The goddess Anasta is the evil goddess in the legend, the harvester of souls, and the creator of all succubi and vampires."

Lillian also murmured, "She seduced several gods and created wars just to taste the sweetness of souls. Rumor has it that she created the two races of succubus and vampires in her own image. She is also the patron saint of succubus and vampires, the embodiment of lust and uncleanness, and the protector of darkness and chaos. Here, there is actually her altar..."

Lillian's words were filled with shock and disbelief. She could not imagine that such an astonishing secret was hidden in this seemingly ordinary cave.

"You can't believe all the information from the church." Link touched Violena's head and comforted her, "Often, wars are written by the victors. Throughout history, all losers will eventually be labeled as failures and unbearable. The demon invasion happened hundreds of years ago, and no one knows what happened at that time. You can only believe it if you see it with your own eyes, and you must have your own thoughts."

Violena nodded, with a determined light in her eyes. She understood what Link meant, and knew that in this world full of unknowns and dangers, only by keeping a clear mind and independent thinking ability can one survive in this chaotic world.

Link's hand gently stroked Violena's hair. He liked the feeling a little. Violena's hair was very soft, as smooth and delicate as silk. It felt like petting a cat, and people couldn't help but want to touch it a few more times.

Everyone walked around the huge altar and looked at it carefully. However, apart from the bronze statue of a woman and several stone pillars with patterns carved on them, there seemed to be nothing special here. Just as everyone was about to step onto the stone steps and leave the cave, Link, who was walking in front, suddenly felt dizzy.

His eyes were blurry, as if the whole world was spinning. He quickly closed his eyes and shook his head gently, trying to wake himself up.

However, when he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a bedroom filled with dreamy pink and red colors!
