Chapter 1111: Thorny
Jeno made his way to the mouth of the cavern alone, the narrow entrance that had been sealed in ice had been broken and widened enough to allow a carriage to enter. And the edge of the cave entrance was also very smooth by these stupid void creatures.
He didn't care about these details, but walked straight inside with a light spear in hand.
Under the light of the soft light, he saw that the last of the nine icicles that had been used as seals was gone. And the last one left was also gnawed away.
He couldn't help but quicken his pace and came to the center of the cave. Through dozens of feet of ice, he saw the Watcher's large, imposing, eyelidless one-eyed.
Is it asleep? Or awake?
The unblinking eye looked back at him, its gaze seeping into him, penetrating him, and devouring his spirit...... Until Jeno realizes that he can't continue.
Gritting his teeth, he took out the horn that Orn had given him, put it to his mouth, and breathed into it at the narrow end.
Woo –
A bright and dazzling presence erupted with the sound of a trumpet, and blazing flames poured like magma between Jeno and the Watcher, and the ice visibly dissolved.
The sound of the horn echoed through the empty cavern, and the black tentacles immediately writhed wildly and emitted black smoke, writhing so violently that it was even reminiscent of overlapping and noisy sounds constantly burrowing into the ears.
At the same time, Orn, who was watching Anivia's sudden visit from outside the fortress, felt his horn blow.
He thought this was what Jeno was saying, and immediately slammed his hammer into the volcanic furnace.
The massive force struck a ravine in the ground, opening the passage between the furnace and the Wailing Abyss, and the red-hot molten iron rushed down the ditch.
On the Bridge of Sorrows, everyone saw the bright and hot liquid flowing down the ice cliff into the abyss, like a burning waterfall, with a heat of thousands of degrees Celsius, pouring on the deepest and darkest wound in the world.
The fusion of ice and fire produced a strong and choking steam, and the scorching heat and the rushing heat forced everyone to sweat, causing everyone to swallow their saliva subconsciously.
The scorching steam spread, and Sarah hurriedly drove the Abyss away from Molten Falls.
The Watcher has not yet appeared, and the seal has been poured, which means that they are close to success, and at least they can safely pour the Watcher in a special forbidden steel.
But at this moment, her hands controlling the astrolabe were trembling, revealing the most terrifying thoughts in her heart:
"Jeno's ...... not gone"
"If this thing is poured on him, how will he survive?"
"No! I've got to get in touch with him! ”
……
The flames erupting from the horn had melted dozens of feet of ice, and compared to the watcher's massive body, the last dozen feet of the barrier was nothing to mention. Jeno felt as if he was standing in its eyes, and through its strange gaze, unknowable thoughts were wildly invading his mind.
"Sir, someone is trying to contact you through the communicator."
"At a time like this?"
"Who?"
"Captain Sarah."
Jeno paid some attention, he was afraid that it would affect him and did not plan to answer, but in the end, the ghost changed his mind and handed it over to Hex.
"Jano?!" As soon as it was connected, it was Sarah's eager voice.
"Tell me something directly." Jano breathed a sigh of relief and continued to blow the horn.
"Orn has opened a ditch and poured molten iron! Do you know this? ”
Jeno was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Now I know ......"
He began to estimate the time it would take for the molten iron to rush into the Hall of the Nine Venerables, calculating whether he would be able to retire before then.
"Are you still under the abyss? It's still too late to go, just seal the watcher, don't take too much risk......" Sarah was worried about Jeno's safety, since the final result was the same, then don't be obsessed with killing the watcher, saving your life is the most important thing!
"No! I have to make this attempt or I'll regret it! ”
Jeno resolutely interrupted the communication, and then poured his anger into the horn, and the flames were even worse, and the speed of melting ice increased again!
Only the last eight feet are left!
At this moment, his mind has abandoned meaningless calculations, and only when every second counts to kill the watcher, will he think about how to escape next. It's like the kind of situation Sarah was worried about, even if it was a one-to-one exchange with the Watcher, he didn't feel like a loss!
It seemed that the Watcher also knew everything through his words, and the swarm of insects outside the light suddenly rioted, frantically attacking Jeno, even if it dissolved in the light, he would use his body to open the way for other insects.
Jeno turned and blew his horn at them, the flames scorching the mad swarm with ease. But the moment he turned, the last icicle shattered, as if the watcher had deliberately left it there to create the illusion that it hadn't woken up yet.
The swaying darkness broke through the icicles, and dozens of dark tentacles stabbed Jeno at lightning speed.
Geno knew that the Watcher would not wait so obediently for death, so he grabbed the dazzling spear as soon as possible, and then suddenly turned sideways to avoid the slender tentacles. Then the cheeks bulged, and the flames erupted that burned most of the tentacles to blackening and breaking. But there were more tentacles than that, and many more tentacles came out of the black hole left by the icicle shattering, and stabbed into his body from front and back at the same time as the tentacles that had been avoided and then turned back.
Jeno never thought it would be as easy as these tentacles piercing the crystal armor to pierce the window paper, they burrowed deep inside him, greedily sucking his flesh!
He tried to blow his horn and burn the tentacles, but they seemed to understand his intentions, and in an instant they separated several strands that wrapped tightly around his neck, almost severing his throat. Other tentacles wrapped around his chest, abdomen, and limbs, holding him firmly in place like thorns.
Black tentacles dodged the light from the spear of light and squirmed into his body.
His muscles rippled, his veins turned black, his skin pale and bloodless, and he was in agony beyond imagination. Luckily, none of the tentacles had stabbed the core of Hex in his chest, and it was still functioning as usual, and the excessive fountain of life that Jeno had drunk earlier was also effectively repairing his body, so that he would not die so soon.
"Damn! It's almost a kick in the door! Jeno gripped the spear tightly in his hand and roared in his heart. The one-eyed flickered beneath him, staring at it with its pupils leading to the unknown, a smile of contempt in its gaze.
