Chapter 90 - Underground World

*TRATRATRA**TISH*

Inside a huge tunnel, a swarm of giant insects, moving around making noise in the place.

But from time to time, one of those insects will weirdly fall down with a huge wound on their heads.

But the insect's world is more real, with every insect fell down, the other around only move faster so they get an extra bite from it.

"So many..." Gray in invisible mode, fixing his dagger on the wall and stood on it while looking at the many insects under him.

It has been half an hour since he entered this long dark tunnel. But he found that the underground world is much bigger then he expected.

All kinds of weird insects, with many different types, this place is.... disgusting.

But this also showed Gray a very possible disaster that might fall on humanity at any time. If such a huge number of insects decided to leave this underground and go out..... Not many bases could defend against them.

If solely insects became like this in three years... What about the zombies around the world?

Gray couldn't help but remember the woman he met before leaving the world last time.

"Find way out first..." He can't do anything, for now, so he will try to find a way out of this insect's world.

"There..." While moving around and killing what he could kill, Gray soon found another small tunnel.

So he wanted to go there, but before he could do this, Gray glanced above it.

On top of that tunnel, a very huge earthworm looks like a huge snake with a big round mouth enough to eating anything.

Looking at this worm, Gray couldn't' help but remember the worms that the orcs used when he was in the middle earth.

"Now I understand why there are huge holes up there...." Gray looked at this worm and finally understand why he falls to such a big hole suddenly.

With such worms here.....

But from the look of this worm, it much smaller then the hole he falls to, which means there are even bigger worms in this place.

Gray wanted to advance and enter that small tunnel under the worm, but weirdly the wall under the worm suddenly collapsed which made the worm fall down and block his ways.

Gray looked at all this and couldn't help but curse this ugly luck he has today!

Looking at the lazy worm not planning to move, Gray looked around and started searching for another way.

...

In another place inside the underground world.

The group of awakeners who entered the cave. already moved a few thousand meters inside this place.

*BOOM* The captain of this group with his fist, made a huge hole in a giant insect that evolved a diamond shell on its body.

While on the right side, another skinny man, holding a crystal gun-shaped on his hand and kept releasing beam attack that will turn every insect it met to dust.

And on the left, another gloomy man who whispering some weird menta. With his whispers, a large group of insects, screamed weirdly and started crashing each other, and slowly dying with pain.

"Captain, I don't feel many energies from this direction, the crystals might be there" The youngest between them, puts his fingers on his head nerve and tried to feel where the crystals are.

But weirdly he said that he can't feel many energies from the direction he pointed to, but also think the crystals might be there!

The old man who did nothing but was watching this team working together all the time, looked at the young man and nodded his head.

This team is a really good one.

Especially the way they find the direction.

Awakening Crystal holds massive energy inside them, but this energy can't be felt or detected by any chance, as if its nature not to be found.

This young man just said that he can't feel many energies from the direction he pointed to.

But it's a fact that he can feel many others from all over the place.

His awakening ability is a very unique one.

[Energy finder]

This ability allows him, to find and detect every last kind of energy that might exist there. But his ability still didn't work on the crystals. But he used it in another way. This place is full of life. Many creatures live here, and all those creatures have some energy more or less inside them.

And this young man can feel all of these energies, what he did just now, is to point to the direction that he feels less energy from it, which means the crystals that can't be detected might be there!

Usually, the crystal exists in the places where there is no life around. Besides the energy of those crystals is so hight for those insects. They probably doesn't dare to go there easily.

But if there is... then that will be a problem...

"Good, let's move! we don't have much time, old man! are you sure you destroy this place?" The leader said this and moved in the direction that the crystals might be in. But at the same time looked at the old man behind him and asked.

"Yes... After taking the crystals we need, I'll definitely destroy this place" The old man heard the captain and said. This old man is so confident about this.

From their worlds, you can understand two things. The crystals are not their ultimate goal. But removing this underground world is what they really want to do!

The captain looked at the old man, and his eyes flashed.

This old man might not be so strong... But his ability really allows him to bring this place to its end. And maybe the entire forest will disappear after finishing the plan.

In fact, Hero base already knows about this underground.

Before a few weeks, they got reports about the weird insect monster that appeared around the area. And after some search, they found this place.

Naturally, they know that they shouldn't let it stay any longer. So the hero base leaders wanted to destroy this place directly. But after learning that there might be Awakening crystal down here, things changed.

With the ability of the old man, they can easily destroy this place, while not wasting much manpower in the process. And make the hero base a safer place for all survivors.

But the condition is to find the crystals first.

...

...

"Hmmm..... Am pretty sure I was here before..." Gray looked at the extremely looks alike tunnel around him and couldn't help but say.

He already left the open area where many insects stay. By finding another tunnel, which led him to a huge maze. He can see that this maze is made by the insects here, but he really can't understand this place.

Good thing he can see the world as black and white in the invisible mode... Or in this extreme darkness, it would have been hard to see relying on his eyes only, especially that his dark shadow source is not working as it supposed to...

One of the basic source abilities is to allow him anything even without light... Yup, but it weakened too much...

But this also good, this showed him that his ability is still working inside him.

Gray looked around and wanted to make a mark on the wall, so if by chance he came back here he will know.

But...

*RUGUREUG* Behind him, Gray felt and heard a very creepy voice.

Looking back Gray saw the creepy voice identity.

This is a very huge and long insect that he can't see it end, from both sides of its body countless legs can be seen

His head is so big and apparently made from his own scales that looks even stronger than any armor. his mouth is so big and two sharp fangs from both sides making this Centipede look scarier...

Gray froze when he saw this Centipede and tried to move away, so it doesn't notice him. But looks like this Centipede doesn't want to play with the rules.

*RWOAAGH* The Centipede actually looked at Gray who's invisible and screamed.

"Yes yes... I know you can see me...." Gray said this and turned back then run away with all his speed.

Seeing Gray running away, The Centipede also moved and followed Gray, and destroyed many tunnels while moving because of its huge body.

Gray running speed is not slow, but not faster than this Centipede, so he knows that he can't run away like This.

Looking back, he saw the Centipede hacking a huge stone on its mouth, to clear its way, and keep following him.

"...."

Gray turned his face in front of him and looked at the wall not far away.

Then he looked at the ring and thought of something.

"Okay!" As if making up his mind, Gray runs faster and directly hit the wall in front of him.

But weirdly he disappeared inside the wall! Or more like, he went through the wall!

*RWOOOSH* Seeing Gray disappearing like this, the Centipede also crashed the wall with its face, and forced its way.
