I Attained Invincibility In The Real World

Chapter 191 - 191: 171: Escape and Black Liquid

Inside the melting cave.

Splash

The sound of water splashing occasionally echoed in their ears. “Cough—Cough!”

Chen Sheng coughed twice, his mouth full of a bloody taste.

He felt that his face was wet.

He didn’t know if it was water, or the fresh blood he coughed up.

There was an intense feeling of dizziness in his head.

His body shook from time to time, making him feel as if his brain was about to be mixed evenly.

Is he… on a roller coaster?

Chen Sheng reluctantly opened a slit in his eyes.

The sight before him was very dim.

He could barely see the rapidly passing ground and the two legs that moved one after another.

“Awake?”

Shen Ziming’s voice came from beside him.

Chen Sheng suddenly realized that he was being carried on the other’s shoulder.

“Put me down—

Chen Sheng’s brain was groggy.

He had just woken up from a coma, and his mind felt very chaotic, not even remembering what had happened.

Moreover, the experience of being carried by Shen Ziming was terrible.

So,

He tried to raise his hand to pat the other’s shoulder, asking him to put him down.

But as he spoke halfway.

Chen Sheng’s voice suddenly stopped.

His voice was extremely hoarse, as if he was a traveler walking in a desert without water, making a sound at the last moment of his life.

What was even stranger was,

Chen Sheng remembered that he had clearly raised his arm and patted Shen Ziming’s back.

However, when he made this move, there was no touch feedback from his palm.

It was as if what he patted was not the other’s back, but just a piece of air.

“Forget it.”

For some reason,

Shen Ziming’s voice seemed a bit heavy.

The moment his words fell,

Brightness bloomed.

Under Shen Ziming’s control, the light spread around them.

What was originally a faintly visible scene became clearer under the light.

Chen Sheng finally saw the specific surroundings.

At the moment,

He was being carried on Shen Ziming’s shoulders, running through one melting cave after another.

However, there was no green wind around them.

Instead, there was a fast-moving black liquid under Shen Ziming’s feet.

The speed of the liquid couldn’t be called crawling now.

Even Shen Ziming, as a martial artist and one with Heavenly Person genes, wasn’t faster than it.

It seemed to be guiding the way for Shen Ziming.

However, its route was too “weird.”

Shen Ziming sometimes had to slow down or speed up and even jump to avoid stepping on it.

Looking at the black liquid in front of him,

Chen Sheng’s groggy brain finally cleared up.

Not long ago, his memories also resurfaced.

That’s right.

On Chen Sheng’s face,

There was a sudden realization in the narrow slit of his eyes, soaked with blood and squeezed even narrower by his swollen muscles.

After he killed Zhao Zhenfeng, he met that bastard named Respected Elder.

The other’s strength was too terrifying,

To the extent that he could not resist and was nearly killed.

In the last of his memories,

Chen Sheng only remembered the dazzling thunder light occupying his vision.

There were constant roars in his ears, as if someone was scolding Respected Elder.

As for how Shen Ziming managed to escape with him,

And why the black liquid led the way for them, Chen Sheng didn’t remember.

At this thought,

He slowly turned his head and looked at Shen Ziming.

The latter was no longer in his orange cat form; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to carry him on his shoulder.

“What happened just now? “Where is that old man?”

As his words fell,

Chen Sheng saw Shen Ziming tilt his head slightly, looking at himself.

He was taken aback.

Shen Ziming’s face was as pale as paper, with an unprecedented tension and heaviness, and even some anger mixed in.

This was the first time he had seen such an expression on the other’s face.

In Chen Sheng’s memory,

Even at the brink of death, Shen Ziming had always been indifferent.

“The specific situation will be discussed after we’re safe.”

“Respected Elder, he’s still chasing us.”

Upon hearing this,

Chen Sheng’s pupils suddenly dilated, and he subconsciously looked around.

Before,

He had just woken up and had not listened carefully to the surroundings.

Now, when he listened carefully,

He could clearly hear the roaring sound coming from a distance. That sound, different from the breath of the green wind,

It was like the roar of thunder and the sound of explosions.

In an instant,

Chen Sheng’s heart was chilled, and he instinctively began to mobilize his body’s breathing, preparing to forcibly enter the Xuanwu Transformation state.

But at this moment,

Shen Ziming directly stopped him.

“Don’t move.”

“Your situation is critical.”

“As for Respected Elder, even though he’s still in the Sealed Land, with ‘it’ helping us block him, there’s no need to worry too much.”

As he spoke,

Shen Ziming signaled Chen Sheng to look at the black liquid that was constantly sliding beneath him with his eyes.

According to his words, the reason they could escape from Respected Elder was thanks to this black liquid.

Only then did Chen Sheng notice.

As they constantly traveled through the melting caves,

The roaring sound seemed to be getting farther and farther away from them.

And at the same time,

Chen Sheng recalled that his body felt strange since waking up.

He… seemed to have no sense of touch.

Although his brain was dizzy and uncomfortable.

But apart from that, he couldn’t feel anything in the other parts of his body.

Chen Sheng clearly remembered that when he was attacked by the Respected Elder, he almost died.

The injuries shouldn’t have healed so quickly.

With this thought,

He looked at his arm. The next second,

His pupils suddenly dilated.

He even screamed in astonishment.

“What the hell is this?!”

Even when facing the terrifying power of the Respected Elder, Chen Sheng hadn’t been as flustered as he was now. His original arm had vanished.

In its place,

was a mass of black liquid, shaped like an arm and still flowing, connected to his right shoulder.

Upon seeing this,

Chen Sheng immediately realized, why when he slapped Shen Ziming’s back earlier, he didn’t feel any sensation from his hand.

Because it wasn’t his original arm he was using, but this black liquid one, it would be strange if he could feel anything.

The shock instantly cleared his somewhat groggy mind.

Chen Sheng subconsciously looked at other parts of his body.

What he saw almost made him black out.

His legs, along with both of his arms, were in the same condition.

It could be said that, more than half of his body now was made up of black liquid.

Chen Sheng instinctively shook his arm and even swung his legs trying to shake off the black liquid.

But it was of no use.

This black liquid clung to his body just like his original limbs, no matter how hard Chen Sheng tried to shake it off.

“Don’t move.”

Just as he was completely baffled, Shen Ziming’s voice came again.

“A moment ago… you were just a hair’s breadth away from death.”

“When I dragged you out of the melting cave, I only brought out half of your body with me, the other half was destroyed by the Respected Elder.”

“I thought you were going to die soon, so I fed you the potion I got from Zhao Zhengfeng. ”

“But the potion’s origin is unknown, I don’t even know what its effects are.”

“It was while I hesitated, that the black liquid appeared and connected itself directly to your body.”

“Afterwards, I found that your body stopped deteriorating and even began to slowly recover.”

“Later on, the black liquid led us, evading the Elder’s pursuit along the way.”

As he spoke,

Shen Ziming’s voice was somewhat weak.

For every sentence he spoke, he would have to catch his breath for a few seconds before continuing.

Chen Sheng remembered that when Shen Ziming turned his head to look at him earlier, his complexion was extremely pale.

And so,

He looked at Shen Ziming’s body.

Slash-like wounds were scattered over his body.

His right arm had also disappeared, and fresh blood was still spilling from the shoulder wound.

“You…”

Chen Sheng’s gaze became sharp.

It was very clear that, escaping the Elder’s pursuit had not been as easy as Shen Ziming claimed.

Chen Sheng didn’t say anything else and stopped moving his body.

With his current body, it was difficult to walk on his own, so he let Shen Ziming carry him.

All he could do was try not to give his companion any trouble.

And so,

They made their way through one melting cave after another.

Chen Sheng observed their surroundings.

He noticed that as the two of them continued to move, the previously constant melting caves slowly began to change.

Signs of life began to appear.

From time to time, he would see a couple of seaweed plants entwined on the stone walls.

In the water, Chen Sheng could even vaguely see some luminescent herbs.

Those must be spirit medicines.

Unfortunately, they were on the run and had no time to stop and pick these medicines.

At the same time,

The water level in the caves was steadily rising.

By now, it had almost reached Shen Ziming’s thigh.

This slowed their pace even more.

Another two minutes passed.

When the two entered another new melting cave, The once numerous tunnels had vanished.

Only a pitch-black hole was left before them.

Seeing that the black liquid didn’t hesitate and went straight into the hole, The two exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

At this point, they had no other path to choose but to trust the black liquid.

Otherwise, if they encountered the Respected Elder again on the road, they would be doomed.

And so,

Shen Ziming didn’t hesitate.

With Chen Sheng in tow, he stepped into the dark passage.

The next second,

Whoosh— “Damn!” X2

The sudden loss of balance made both of them cry out in shock.

An intense sense of weightlessness filled their bodies.

“Chen Sheng!”

In the pitch-black darkness, Shen Ziming’s shout was heard.

However,

Since Chen Sheng’s arm was made of black liquid, he couldn’t feel where the other was.

But soon,

He felt his body shift in midair.

Chen Sheng knew Shen Ziming had successfully grabbed his liquid arm and was pulling their bodies together.

“It’s no use.”

“This place is very strange; there’s barely any Qi here.”

“I can’t light up the surroundings.” Shen Ziming’s voice rang out beside him.

“Well, we’re already here.” “Just wait quietly.”

“If we die from the fall, it’s on you.”

Compared to Shen Ziming, Chen Sheng seemed to have accepted the situation better.

If the black liquid wanted to kill them, it could’ve done so without even leading them all the way here

Killing the two of them would be as easy as eating a meal.

“Fine, it’s on me.”

Shen Ziming laughed.

Chen Sheng’s words eased some of the tension in his heart..
