72 – Human-Faced Peaches

At the end of the fork was a huge bronze wall. An oil painting of an ancient black dragon was suspended on the huge bronze wall.

It was unknown how long that oil painting existed, it didn’t had any traces of it’s ink fading. The ancient black dragon depicted in the oil painting was vivid and life-like – simultaneously, traces of faint dragon might were diffused from that painting.

<Discovered a formidable life force coercion. According to the analysis of the scan, the life force has 95% of similarity with the legendary dragon might, it’s capable of deterring inferior life forms. Level-3 Apprentice Warlocks or below are unable of withstand this life force coercion. When compared to the real dragon might, the intensity is too low.>

A string of messages flashed in Yang Feng’s mind.

Yang Feng contemplated: “I don’t sense anything – that is to say, with the Liquid-Metal Robot, in addition to not feeling any pain, the remaining senses will also weaken substantially – it’s capable of neutralizing the coercion.

Yang Feng’s sight fell on Eunice beside him.

Eunice promptly explained: “This painting is the entrance to the Gloom Cave. By going directly past it, one can enter the inner parts of the Gloom Cave’s remains.”

Yang Feng waved and a Bladed-troop immediately walked toward the oil painting.

Just as the Bladed-troop was 50m from the oil painting, then all of a sudden, its body directly shrunk – it was walking towards the oil painting as if it had set out on an invisible ladder.

The closer the Bladed-troop got to the oil painting, the smaller was its body, ultimately becoming palm-sized – it touched the black dragon’s ferocious mouth, setting off ripples and directly entered it.

Yang Feng saw this scene and his eyes flashed with a touch of admiration: “The power of Warlocks is really amazing!”

Such an entrance was simply unimaginable to ordinary people, only level-3 Warlock experts or above have such terrifying means.

Yang Feng took the lead and walked towards the oil painting.

As Yang Feng continued to move forward, a strange warping feeling arouse around him, he could clearly see the painting getting bigger and bigger, no matter how large his strides were, it felt like they didn’t brought him any closer towards the painting. Eventually, the huge black dragon’s mouth filled his vision, a deep passageway with no end in sight appeared before his eyes.

Yang Feng took a step and entered the deep passageway with no end in sight – ripples flashed, his vision went bright and he found himself appear inside a very wide space.

The light inside that very wide space was somewhat dim, the entire space appeared to be exuding a layer of hazy oppression with a suffocating strange aura.

“Somebody just came in!”

“They’re screwed!”

“Somebody just came in!”

“They’re our fertilizers!”

“…”

An enormous peach half the size of an adult person with an elderly face, issued an innocent child-like voice – another enormous peach half the size of an adult person with a child’s face sang a strange song, giggling and hopping around.

Those two enormous peaches closed in on Yang Feng, Yang Feng then saw the two enormous human faces surrounding their bodies, forming a sinister image – the human faces were wailing in anguish. At first sight, it was absolutely horrifying.

Eunice’s pretty face paled slightly and she warned: “Those are Human-Faced Peaches – spirit bodies, variant plants as well as the formidable life force of Warlocks, they intertwine and give birth to those treacherous freaks – they are treacherous existences that are neither spirit bodies nor living beings, physical attacks are almost ineffective against them. They are cursed gremlins and even a level-1 Warlock might also be killed by these freaks! The souls of those who are killed by them will be bound to their bodies and become their source of power.”

Yang Feng looked at the two horrifying Human-Faced Peaches, his eyebrows creased slightly and he waved his hand.

Two Bladed-troops instantly approached, took out their alloy blades and fiercely chopped at the two Human-Faced Peaches.

The two Human-Faced Peaches let themselves being chopped into countless pieces, traces of black energy spread from them, one after another congregating into human faces – ruthlessly pouncing on the two Bladed-troops.

<An Unknown force with corroding properties was detected, according to the analysis, this force has an enormous corrosion effect on living being, capable of causing physical damage to level-2 Warlock rank life forms. The effect of corrosion on the units is small.>

A string of information was quickly sent back.

Treacherous existences that were neither spirit bodies nor living beings like the Human-Faced Peaches, were an exceedingly great menace towards humans and a variety of intelligent living beings. But towards steel constructs such as mechanical Bladed-troops, the threat was very small, after all, mechanical Bladed-troops didn’t had any souls.

If a party composed of level-3 Apprentice Warlocks were to run into such treacherous existences as the Human-Faced Peach, then they would be easily consumed by them, their souls becoming their nutrients.

The Human-Faced Peaches that could kill a level-1 Warlock turned into human faces and continuously gnawed on the two Bladed-troops, yet they didn’t had any effect, they couldn’t even leave white traces on their mechanical bodies.

Yang Feng waved his hand and two Gunner-troops equipped with two external flamethrowers stepped forward – at once two long flame streaks were sprayed out of the two flamethrowers, completely swallowing the two Bladed-troops.

After being covered by the two terrifying flame streaks, the two Human-Faced Peaches at once let out miserable screams, countless strands of black energy were burned and purified by the flames.

Regarding spirit bodies as well as a lot of treacherous phenomena – flames, holy light and dark energy, they all could restrain such existences.

During the past two years, Yang Feng had been madly studying a variety of knowledge, he spent a lot of time studying about existences of whom he was the most fearful – moreover, Nr.3796 developed a lot of countermeasures against those treacherous existences.

“Ah!! You’ll all gonna die!! You’ll be our fertilizers!”

Extremely miserable screams were transmitted from the black energies, then the human faces congregated from countless black energies flew away from the two Bladed-troops and congregated into the treacherous existences – they issued fierce and malicious curses against the Bladed-troops, then became two streaks of black smoke and directly flew towards the depths of Gloom Cave.

“Sure enough, spirit bodies and treacherous phenomena were the most difficult to deal with! At least for the present me!” Yang Feng watched the two streaks of black light as he contemplated with slightly creased eyebrows.

After repelling the extremely depraved Human-Faced Peaches, Yang Feng proceeded onward with his large mechanical legion.

Soon after they begun forging onward, Yang Feng saw on both sides of the path a variety of skeletons, each skeleton exuded a gloomy and extremely strange aura, it was unknown if they died in the hands of the extremely deprived Human-Faced Peaches.

In the midst of the strange haze, on both sides of the main path, appeared gargoyle statues – they were up to 6m tall, pitch-black, with a pair of wings on their back and had their eyes inlaid with rubies.

The gargoyle statues were densely packed, those large statues could be spotted everywhere.
