324: Chapter 122: Out of the Tiger’s Den, Into the Wolf’s Lair 324: Chapter 122: Out of the Tiger’s Den, Into the Wolf’s Lair Without material foundation, even using banknotes as toilet paper would seem too stiff.
She didn’t say these disappointing words to Wendy, who after much difficulty had found a hobby she was deeply engrossed in.
Li Mumu didn’t want to dampen her enthusiasm.
Although there were no cement bricks here, the primitives who built the Ancient Temple thousands of years ago didn’t have them either.
As long as there was a clear plan, these were not issues.
Under the tireless efforts of the Nomads, a building that looked simple and crude, but relatively magnificent, rose from the ground behind the mountains of Sun Family Town.
At the moment the building was completed, Li Mumu felt the presence of the Real World.
The time of concealment had arrived.
The breath of the living disturbed the peace of the dead.
The Nomads also sensed the arrival of this moment, but they had no idea what it meant.
An intangible force enveloped the entire world, making them feel an involuntary exhaustion and drowsiness, gradually closing their eyes and falling into a deep sleep.
Only Li Mumu and Wendy saw the huge hole that appeared in the sky.
It was a tunnel, a passageway produced by the intersection of the Outer Dimension and the Real World.
When moonlight disappeared, starlight dazzled, and darkness enveloped the land, countless dimensions interwove in dreams.
It seemed far away on the horizon, yet also within reach.
Distance was not the key, the key was whether you could sense its existence.
“Shall we go back?”
Wendy turned and asked Li Mumu.
“If not now, when?”
Li Mumu thought, What’s so good about this place?
Isn’t it nicer to go back to the Real World and have some steaming noodles?
Pah!
Look at my ambitions…
If I could go back this time, I’d have to treat myself to a big hot pot feast.
Feeling the guidance in the darkness, Li Mumu closed her eyes, took Wendy’s hand, and slowly walked toward the great void.
It seemed like only a few seconds passed, maybe a few hours.
With a thud, Li Mumu’s feet were firmly on the ground.
“Anchor established!”
“[You are the Evil God worshipped by the Great Wilderness Nomads as Attendant, known as Red Shroud…]”
Shit!
Something’s not right!
Li Mumu suddenly opened her eyes and saw herself wearing a familiar blood-red dress with dark words, standing on a completely unfamiliar street.
There were streets, there were buildings, it was the Real World all right…
Bullshit!
With a start, she looked up to see a skyscraper dozens of stories high, and the twisted rebar exposed in the crumbling walls around her that looked as if they’d seen the second world war.
Li Mumu’s blood pressure soared.
Since when did Tianmen have such high rises?
And this place doesn’t look like the era I traveled to!
What crap about the Real World!
Wendy?
Where’s Wendy?
She instinctively looked down and saw the doll she was holding in her arms, with two large black button eyes sewn onto its face, looking very even to the point of nine-tenths familiar.
“Wendy!
Wendy, what’s happened to you?”
“Shut up, look above your head!”
Wendy’s voice came from inside the doll.
Li Mumu suddenly looked up.
There was no sun in the sky, just a murky fog, and demons and monsters were raining down like droplets!
Some had four legs, others eight, some with wings, some fluffy, some resembling humans, and some not…
It was just like the legendary night parade of a hundred demons depicted in hell.
Li Mumu had never seen so many creatures, her eyes blurred, failing to recognize a single one.
Her own bizarre attire seemed inconspicuous among these demons and monsters, and one might even say she looked like a frail woman incapable of hurting a chicken.
These demons and monsters did not appear to have any kind of teamwork among them, and shortly after landing, they rushed toward the nearest creature, sparking an immediate battle and bloody slaughter.
Bites and screams filled the air incessantly.
What on earth is going on here!
Li Mumu, who had not figured out the situation, nearly got knocked over by a wild boar charging straight at her.
Instinctively, she raised her hand and clawed, her sharp nails effortlessly sliced through the boar’s tough hide, leaving five deep, bone-exposing wounds on its massive body, with even its innards spilling out.
The wild boar with sharp fangs screamed in pain from the heavy blow, but the pain only fueled its ferocity as it turned its head and opened its large mouth to bite at Li Mumu’s fingers.
Li Mumu’s fingers came together, swift as the wind, and she burst one of its eyes on the spot.
Then she grabbed the eye socket and scooped out, hurling its entire skull away.
“I want to eat stir-fried liver…”
“What stir-fried liver, isn’t spicy hotpot brain more delicious?”
Scooping out the delicate, fresh brains from the wild boar’s skull, Li Mumu was about to unconsciously stuff them into her mouth when she suddenly realized.
Wait, what am I doing?
This is raw!
Damn it, I’ve been influenced by this chaotic mess!
According to the information provided by the Special Service Bureau, every demon and evil spirit could be considered a mobile source of severe pollution, and even casting an additional glance at them could lead to contamination by taboo knowledge.
And now, here and at this time, the number of demons and evil spirits was simply innumerable, like a big vat of colorful dye, where anything thrown in wouldn’t remain unstained.
What in the world is this place?
While Li Mumu was still looking around confused, she heard thunder rolling in the distance.
No, that’s not thunder!
That’s frickin’ artillery!
Li Mumu, quickly realizing this, hurriedly ducked into a corner, dragging the wild boar’s carcass beside her.
She hadn’t even crouched down fully when a loud explosion burst near her ear.
The ground shook, the mountains quaked!
The next moment, endless artillery fire blanketed the entire district.
Li Mumu, hugging her head, hid beneath the wild boar’s carcass, feeling the ground tremble wave after wave.
She could hear nothing else.
Nearly three minutes passed before the artillery fire finally subsided.
Li Mumu, shivering, crawled out from under the wild boar’s carcass, only to see a giant crater less than ten meters away from her, still emitting gunpowder smoke.
The carcass of the wild boar, weighing over a thousand pounds, was blasted into an indistinguishable mess of flesh and blood, with half of its body vaporized, leaving only the smell of charred meat.
This artillery fire barrage, lasting a full three minutes, almost annihilated those demons and evil spirits that had descended from the sky.
Yet, beings like Li Mumu with Spirit Intelligence or those inherently powerful were still able to survive.
She watched as a huge beast, mixed with other demonic corpses and ruins, struggling to rise from the ground, six or seven stories tall, bellowing in anger towards the distance.
The next moment, a Bronze Colossus, no smaller in size, emerged quietly from the billowing smoke, its huge metal body surprisingly light and agile.
Its hands gripped the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade, striking it overhead.
A resplendent lunar brilliance burst upon the creature’s body, cleaving its massive, bloated form in two.
