Marvel With Zanpakuto - Chapter 729
The giant thing in the lake was real!
In the myth, the ‘god’ from beyond the heavens was actually a spiked slug!
Forgive Barton for using such a crude adjective. The monster’s appearance was too similar to that of a slug. Besides the huge difference in size and the countless metal spikes on its back, there was almost no difference.
But even so, he was very clear.
The giant thing in the lake was definitely not an ordinary creature, but a monster beyond the scope of human understanding!
Those captain-level gods of death he had seen before all had the terrifying spiritual pressure of Pompeii volcano, and the power burst out from their gestures was enough to completely collapse and destroy an entire modern city, but these were all in Within the scope of human understanding, even shock is acceptable.
And the giant thing in the lake in front of him was an existence that could not be understood and accepted by others!
He could not feel the slightest bit of spiritual power that it emitted. It was like an inorganic object that did not have a soul at all. Just by looking at its appearance and posture, it made the human’s rationality almost collapse.
Everyone’s fear and fear were different, like spiders, snakes, dogs, etc..
And its existence made everyone feel fear, as if it was a manifestation of all the reasons of fear.
The feeling could not be described with simple words, like some instinct engraved in the depths of the soul. As it appeared, it was activated, and the fear was magnified countless times, acting in the human brain and nervous system.
The cave fell into a long silence. No one dared to break the atmosphere, immersed in the fear just now.
But if they did not move, it did not mean that the giant thing in the lake did not move.
The terrifying creature flipped its body in the water, and the metal spikes on its back began to grow. Like willow branches, it broke through the water curtain in the dome and quickly reached towards them.
“Be careful of these ghost things!”
Barton’s spiritual energy burst out from the bottom of his feet, stepping on the water surface and dodging. At the same time, he shouted to remind everyone else.
However, it was a pity that not everyone could react as fast as him. Two of the team members could not dodge in time and were directly stabbed in the head by the metal spike. The whites of their eyes were revealed and they straightened their bodies without struggling at all.
These spikes seemed to be hollow syringes.
They injected some kind of liquid into the bodies of the two team members.
Then the two team members who were injected with liquid widened their mouths to the limit and stared at them with empty eyes. Their bodies gradually began to turn grayish-green. After the surface of their skin hardened, they formed the shape of fish scales. Their skulls were elongated and twisted. At the last part of their spine, a thick tail covered with spikes grew.
From a human to a lizard man, the process was only a short dozen seconds.
But the shock and horror that this scene brought to others had far exceeded the simple text description.
“Run! Go back!”
Barton’s scalp was numb and he instantly realized that this might be a trap.
They did not encounter any lizardmen along the way, but somehow found the lake. Moreover, he was lured by the sound and dived into the space at the bottom of the well. The whole process did not encounter any obstacles, but went smoothly almost against the norm.
But after seeing the lizardmen, he suddenly understood everything!
Legend had once mentioned that ancient creatures living in the lake would grant their believers eternal blessings through a certain method of sacrifice. Now it seemed that this was the ‘sacrificial ceremony’ mentioned in the legend.
This underwater space might be the place of the Sacrificial Grounds, and the lizardmen deliberately lured them in!
Those monsters wanted to use this method to turn this terrifying giant in the lake into their own kind!
“No, no, Captain!”
The last remaining member looked at his watch and shouted in despair, “My oxygen content is not enough. I can’t swim back from the bottom of the lake!”
Oxygen content ?!
Barton looked down at the value on his watch and found that there was only 15% left.
From the time they dived into the lake to the bottom of the well, no one knew exactly how long they had dived. Although the process seemed very long, in fact, it did not take much time. Moreover, they had been paying attention to the watch the whole time. It was impossible to find it only when there were 15% left!
“Captain, you should go!”
Seeing that there was no way out, the team member suddenly gritted his teeth and his eyes flashed fiercely. “Anyway, I can’t get out. You should be able to get out. I’ll hold off this monster for you!”
“Roar -!”
The two team members had finished transforming and had completely become lizardmen.
They were like walking on flat ground in the water. Their feet were webbed as they stepped on the water and quickly swam towards the two of them.
“kill them!”
Barton’s eyes were blood-red and ruthless. His face was as ferocious as a ghost, and his five fingers suddenly clenched.
Such a simple action of grabbing and grabbing caused the entire underwater space to be stirred up by a violent wind. It was like an extremely sharp blade of sword that swept past. In an instant, the two transformed lizardmen were cut into pieces, mixed with blood and fragments, and fell in the water.
As if sensing that the two of them were planning to escape, the spikes of the giant thing in the lake shot out thousands of times.
The space seemed as if it was about to be pierced through, and it emitted bursts of thunderous roars, leaving many dents in its path.
“Today, I will definitely take you out!”
Barton did not give him the chance to argue at all as he quickly came over and grabbed the team member.
Buzz buzz -!
The wind howled and created a transparent wall, like a transparent sphere that wrapped the two of them inside.
The inside of the sphere was filled with turbid air, and the howling wind was extremely destructive. It blocked all the water currents that were trying to invade, and then quickly sank into the lake with the two of them.
Thousands of sharp thorns fell into the air and slowly retracted.
The three yellow pupils of the giant creature in the lake looked at them coldly and indifferently. Then, it revealed a hint of mockery.
Pitch black. Cold.
Their diving speed was extremely fast. Even the flag fish was inferior to them.
However, the problem was that with their diving speed, they could swim hundreds of meters in a dozen seconds. However, after swimming for four to five minutes, they still could not see the well they came from. In front of them was still an endless darkness.
“This… impossible!”
Barton widened his eyes, an unknown fear spreading in his heart.
He clearly remembered that the depth of the bottom of the well was only about one or two hundred meters, but now they had far exceeded this number, but still did not see the position of the well.
“Captain, the spikes are coming!” The team member shouted in horror as he pointed behind them.
Barton looked back and his scalp almost exploded.
He saw thousands of densely-packed spikes chasing from the water at an even faster speed. The source of these spikes was a rare huge shadow, slowly moving behind them.
The giant thing in the lake was actually chasing after them!
Barton had no time to think about how the monster had chased after him. He could only desperately rush forward. He did not want to be pierced into the brain by the spike and then injected into the liquid to become the lizardmen.
One minute. Three minutes. Five minutes.
The space inside the ball was getting thinner and thinner, but the exit in front of them still could not be seen.
The unknown fear spread wildly in the bottom of their hearts, swallowing their remaining rationality and thoughts. The spikes were also getting closer and closer. They were only a few meters away from them. The sense of oppression and fear reached the peak at this moment.
But at this moment, Barton suddenly felt a sense of disharmony.
Something was wrong. Something was not quite right.
The years of agent’s life made him realize that the whole thing seemed to be a little out of place.
At this time, there was a voice in his mind. It sounded intermittently, as if someone was calling him.
“Wake up.”
“Wake up.”
“Hurry up and wake up.”
“I am… hurry… wake up…”
“It’s too late.. Hurry up.. wake up!”
“Ah”
Barton felt a sharp pain in his brain. He roared and suddenly opened his eyes.
The darkness and the bottom of the lake had disappeared. What replaced them were several huge human-faced stone sculptures. They were arranged in a strange order. All of them were tied to the stone pillars in the middle, including Natasha and her team members.
Was everything just now a dream ?!
