Chapter 233: Chapter233:Enter The Lower Floor
Enzo couldn\'t help but ask out of curiosity, "According to what you\'ve said, you\'ve been alive for over a thousand years?"
Carol nodded.
She added, "That\'s how it is from a human perspective, but for the Protoss, time is the least valuable thing. Protoss naturally have long lifespans. Let me think... Yes, the longest-living Lord Protoss has been alive for millions of years and has witnessed the destruction and birth of many races."
Millions of years?
This number immediately shocked Enzo and Eve.
How was that possible?
Unless the Protoss had some extremely unique characteristics.
Enzo then asked, "What kind of race are the Protoss?"
Carol answered without hesitation, "The Protoss are essentially the souls of the stars. Just like this small world, which has a unique soul energy gathering within it. When this soul energy accumulates enough and meets the special conditions for soul birth, this small world will give rise to Protoss, the primordial Protoss."
A small world can give birth to Protoss?
This seemed incredibly unbelievable to Enzo, but Carol had no reason to lie to him.
But Enzo didn\'t dwell on that any longer.
He asked, "Why did Boyega capture you?"
Carol\'s expression fell, and she shook her head, saying, "I don\'t know."
"In the starfield where I come from, Boyega is known as the Soul Master. He is an immortal deity who is highly skilled in the laws of soul elements and is extremely powerful."
"Besides him, he has also assembled twelve Beast Envoys."
"The twelve Beast Envoys are responsible for carrying out Boyega\'s various tasks, and they are also very formidable. You should have met the leader of the twelve Beast Envoys, Melokuhle. He appears to be a very kind old man, but on the battlefield, he is quite ruthless."
Enzo ignored the implied criticism in Carol\'s words.
Her description made Enzo realize what kind of existence Melokuhle, Dorek, and others were.
However, what intrigued him was why the supernatural trial space would appear in this world. Could it be that the Disaster World has some special characteristics?
Enzo didn\'t know.
Carol didn\'t know either. Since being captured by Boyega, she hadn\'t had much contact with the Disaster World. The only interaction she had was helping Rexfit enhance his bloodline.
However, Carol offered a guess.
She said, "Although Boyega is an immortal deity, it doesn\'t mean he is invincible. There are many stronger beings above him. For example, if he were to encounter a great existence from the Protoss, he would have been suppressed long ago."
"According to my guess, Boyega was being chased."
"He fled to this planet, but due to his severe injuries, he died. As death approached, he had to arrange this supernatural trial to select his successor."
"If you\'re interested, you can give it a try."
"The inheritance of an immortal deity holds immense attraction throughout the Starry Sky."
Carol seemed unusually excited, as if it had been a long time since she had spoken so much.
Enzo, on the other hand, sat to the side, deep in thought.
Eve leaned against Enzo, remaining silent and sitting quietly as well.
After a while, Enzo sighed and prepared to sit up.
At that moment, he noticed that Eve had fallen asleep at some point, with a faint smile on her face. Enzo did not disturb her, and not far away, the voice of Bookstaver could be heard.
Bookstaver was instructing Carol on how to plant.
"…Like this, dig a hole, place the seeds inside, cover them with soil, and then water them. The seeds will take root, sprout, and continue to grow."
Meanwhile, Bookstaver\'s angry shouts could also be heard.
"Blackflame, if you continue to cause destruction, I will definitely peel off your skin and make delicious snake soup!"
Blackflame paid no attention to Bookstaver and quickly slid over, then wrapped around Enzo\'s wrist. However, by this time Blackflame had already grown a circle, almost occupying Enzo\'s entire arm palm.
Time passed in this way.
A day went by in the small world.
There was no night here, only eternal daylight, so when Eve awoke, everything looked the same as yesterday.
Enzo said to Eve, "Let\'s go outside first."
Eve nodded, took Enzo\'s hand, and they left through the colorful portal. When they reappeared, they were at the entrance of the rocky cavern, but the underground tunnel was now completely dark. It was the nighttime in the Death Lair at that moment.
Enzo and Eve walked along the tunnel.
They searched for the entrance to the next lower floor of the underground place. After a long time, they saw a flickering light ahead, dazzling in the pitch-black tunnel.
"Let\'s check it out."
Enzo said that, then he led Eve forward.
By the fire sat a group of people, many of whom had some injuries, but they were only minor.
Seeing Enzo and Eve approach, the group became very alert.
Despite Enzo and Eve being only two people and the group having eight members, in the supernatural world, numbers were never the key to winning a battle.
"Who are you?"
The leader of the group by the fire asked.
He was tall and appeared somewhat rugged, wearing a necklace made of supernatural creature teeth, and his aura was difficult to discern, clearly using some sort of stealth magic.
Enzo answered honestly, "We\'re passersby, heading to the next lower floor of the underground place."
The group didn\'t ease their vigilance.
But their hostility lessened considerably.
The leader nodded and said, "Then you can go through."
Enzo and Eve proceeded deeper into the tunnel.
Then the leader\'s voice called out, "There\'s a Flame Wolf King lurking in the next floor, waiting to ambush."
Enzo did not slow his pace, continuing with Eve.
Soon, they reached a large underground cavern with a smooth, intentionally flat floor.
There were some fresh bloodstains on the flat floor.
In the center was a fixed portal leading to the next floor of the Death Lair.
At that moment, a searing heat wave surged from behind.
Enzo teleported away with Eve, placed her in a safe spot, then returned and threw a Thunder Spear. The collision of thunder and flame caused a violent explosion.
The Flame Wolf King who launched the surprise attack was blown away.
Woo~
Flame Wolf King howled and glared viciously at Enzo.
Enzo had no intention of lingering.
He summoned several vines, which were infused with electricity, binding the Flame Wolf King tightly. The flames on the Flame Wolf King could not burn through the vines at all.
Enzo then walked up to the Flame Wolf King.
And he said with a smile, "You dare to ambush me with just Level 8 strength? You really overestimate yourself."
He quickly ended the Flame Wolf King\'s life.
Then he tossed the massive corpse into the small world. After studying the space elements in the stone monument space, he once again aligned the five elemental powers he controlled to the same level, causing the Ring of the World to undergo significant changes. The small world expanded, allowing it to store even more.
After taking care of everything, Enzo found Eve.
The two of them then entered the second level of the underground space.
The second floor of the underground space was similar to the first, but with more powerful supernatural creatures. However, these creatures posed little trouble for Enzo.
The only issue was that they encountered other people again.
In addition they were being followed.
"Come out!"
Enzo suddenly stopped, turned around, and shouted at a rock wall around the corner.
There was no response.
Without hesitation, Enzo fired a fireball at the wall.
The fireball struck the rock wall, creating a deep crater. A figure stumbled out, glaring at Enzo with a venomous expression and demanding, "What\'s your point, kid?"
Enzo\'s gaze was icy as he replied, "You\'ve been following us all the way."
"Following?" The man scoffed, then disdainfully retorted, "What makes you think I\'m following? Is this path only for you, and I can\'t walk it?"
It was a blatant excuse.
Enzo had no interest in further conversation. He teleported in front of the man and delivered a powerful punch to his stomach.
The man was overtaken by intense pain, clutching his abdomen with tears streaming from his eyes.
Enzo coldly stated, "Consider this a warning."
With that, he left with Eve.
But at that moment, the man continued to follow and roared at Enzo, "Die!"
Enzo was about to make his move when he noticed something was wrong.
The man in front of him didn\'t attack; instead, he sprinkled some special powder on him. The powder had a unique fragrance that was both refreshing and invigorating.
What was going on?
Enzo realized something was off when the man suddenly began to flee in a panic.
Enzo\'s expression changed.
He felt an intense sense of oppression that was both despairing and accompanied by multiple presences rapidly closing in on him.
Acting swiftly, Enzo decided to escape with Eve.
However, the ground suddenly was broken, and a massive sandworm emerged, blocking their way.
