461 Endless (1/2)

Su Ming continued dashing forward through that dark path of flesh and blood. The rotten stench in the air was nauseating, and if he breathed in that stench for an extended period of time, he would begin to feel lightheaded.

Su Ming bit the tip of his tongue so that he could remain awake. At the same time, he increased his speed. After all, this Candle Dragon was dead, and it was now a far cry from when it was still alive, which meant that it was far less dangerous than before. However, Su Ming still remained vigilant. If he had not watched his snake being devoured, he would definitely not step foot in a dangerous place like this.

As he charged forward, Su Ming could even see rotten corpses around him that had stayed in the dragon for an unknown amount of years. These corpses were the same as this Candle Dragon, they had not completely decayed, and their horrifying state made all those who saw them to be unable to help themselves but be afraid.

From how these corpses were strewn about in the place, it seemed like they had never moved. When Su Ming remembered just how difficult it was to enter this Candle Dragon, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

‘Could it be that once this Candle Dragon died, no one has been able to get into it..?’

It was quiet all around. Besides Su Ming’s footsteps, there were no other sounds, not even wind. No matter how quickly he went, it was still difficult for him to stir up even the faintest wind.

This strange condition made Su Ming even more cautious, and because this place was sweltering, he gradually began to sweat. In truth, there was quite a large amount of cold stored in his body because he had stayed in the glacier for a long period of time.

Because of this cold, it had been quite a while since Su Ming last sweat. However, in this place, that cold in his body was continuously dispersing, and sweat was also trickling out of his skin.

As Su Ming continued onward, besides these rotting corpses, he also saw quite the number of skeletons. Most of these skeletons had already melted away, and what remained in their places were masses of black goo. Judging by their skeletal frames, these skeletons did not belong to people but to ferocious beasts.

In fact, Su Ming had even seen some items that looked like Enchanted Vessels scattered everywhere in the dragon’s body. However, since he was in a hurry, he did not have time to inspect them. Nonetheless, he did grab all the Enchanted Vessels he encountered on the way.

‘Just how long has it been since this Candle Dragon died..?’ As Su Ming continued charging forward, he kept his mind open to sense his snake’s location while beginning to form guesses in his head.

As he traveled forth, a sudden sense of danger abruptly rose in his heart. He forced his body to immediately move back a few steps, and almost the instant he began moving back, a bone abruptly shot out from the wall of flesh before him.

That bone was entirely gray in color, and once it appeared, it let out a bang that caused the floor made of flesh to surge before that bone turned into a small gray humanoid that was the height of up to Su Ming’s knees. The small humanoid was naturally the creature Su Ming had seen outside - the Bone Fiend that was formed from the Candle Dragon’s bones!

The Bone Fiend opened its mouth towards Su Ming and let out a low growl. Dark light shone in its eyes and it charged at him. At the same time, faces started protruding from the wall of flesh around Su Ming. Those faces all looked incredibly hideous, and once they appeared, they let out piercing screeches, as if they wanted to rush towards Su Ming and devour him.

These faces did not belong to humans but to strange looking ferocious beasts. They were all formed by the Candle Dragon’s flesh and blood, and they were the beasts in the fog Su Ming had seen outside previously.

Similarly, sharp spikes started shooting out from the wall of flesh before Su Ming, and they all turned into Bone Fiends. From further down ahead, wailing sounds started traveling towards him swiftly, and the white vengeful spirits appeared out of thin air!

Immediately after, a low murmuring sound faintly came from behind Su Ming, and thousands of feet behind him the giant eyeball gained physical form. The edges of that eyeball were white, and right at the center was a vertical, dark-yellow pupil.

There seemed to be a crack in the pupil, and that crack was slowly opening up.

A strange suction force appeared behind Su Ming, and the mumbling voice seemed to be summoning him. Su Ming’s heart lurched, and a false desire of wanting to turn his head back rose in his heart.

However, right at that moment, he bit his tongue. His mind immediately snapped awake and he told himself to absolutely not look back. In truth, even if he did not look back, he could still guess that the thing that appeared there was the Candle Dragon’s second eye.

As of then, there was no one else in the Candle Dragon’s body, so Su Ming did not have to bother about exposing his identity as a Berserker. When those gray humanoids charged towards him, a chilling glare appeared in his eyes.

The four Berserker Bones in his body, along with the fifth Berserker Bone that was transformed due to the Wind Berserker’s legacy, let out a mighty power at the same time. That power instantly filled every single spot of Su Ming’s body, and the incredible strength in his physical body was something he had been dreaming of for a long time.

Ever since he came to the land of the Shamans, besides the time when he was at the glacier, he had never executed the full power of the Berserkers. Right then, as it burst forth, banging sounds immediately spread through Su Ming’s mind.

At the same time, his Berserker Mark, Dark Mountain, appeared on his face. Under his clothes, Dark Mountain Tribe emerged on his chest. The full execution of the power of the Berserkers caused his Berserker Mark to also fully manifest on his body.

”Get lost!” Su Ming roared and clenched his right hand into a fist, then hurled a punch straight at the gray humanoids pouncing on him.

The five Berserker Bones on Su Ming’s spine shone with a piercing golden light. It spread through his entire body, and if anyone looked at Su Ming’s back right then, they would be able to see golden light seeping through his spine.

When the power of Berserker Bones was fully brought out, that power surged through Su Ming’s fist and traveled outwards.

A loud boom reverberated in the air, and banging sounds rang once again in Su Ming’s body. The gray humanoids shuddered and were forced back a few steps before exploding, turning into bones that fell backwards. However, the bones shone with a gray light in midair and turned into the gray humanoids once again to continue lunging forward.
