Chapter 23

Hopper had killed countless scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats with his high-frequency spiderweb on his way here.

The blood from the scarlet-eyed silver-winged bat’s corpse had already soaked through the pure white spiderweb bag on his back.

It dyed his bluish fur and pinkish-purple spiked forelegs red.

The strange colors and patterns all over his body were set off by the fresh blood.

It made Hopper look like a terrifying beast that had just crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

It was also thanks to the occasional group of scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats along the way. Their corpses constantly replenished Hopper’s strength, who had the ‘blood-sucking’ characteristic.

It allowed him to run straight towards the cave entrance without needing to rest.

Moreover, every time he encountered a batch of scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats, Hopper’s mood would become more excited.

This was because he knew very well that the more scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats he encountered, the more likely he would encounter even more of them.

The higher the frequency of encountering them, the shorter the interval. This meant that he was closer to the cave entrance.

After killing another batch of scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats, Hopper discovered that the cave had suddenly become much wider.

However, it was not because the cave had become ‘wider’, but because the surroundings had become brighter!

“If nothing goes wrong, the light source that shines into the cave should be the moon of this world.”

As the surroundings gradually became brighter, Hopper stopped and looked up at the slope in front of him.

At a glance, he saw the two silver crescent moons hanging high in the starry sky.

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the cave entrance and flowed into the cave, illuminating the path along the way.

Between the slope in front of Hopper, a path paved with moonlight was formed.

“How beautiful… is the moon of this world silver-white color? And there are actually two of them!”

Hopper’s eight eyes widened as he looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him.

He had grown up in the ‘steel forest’ of tall buildings. He had only seen similar scenes in art paintings. At this moment, he could not help but sigh in his heart.

“Nature is indeed full of miracles.”

After being reincarnated into this foreign world for so long, whether it was in the middle of a battle or on the road, Hopper had been in a high-strung state of mind.

Even though he had rested on the spider web for a while, he had not completely let his guard down, as he was always ready for battle.

Now, the beautiful scenery that greeted his eyes from outside the cave had deeply touched Hopper’s sensitive nerves.

He suddenly realized that in this otherworld, between the heroes and the demons, other than the dark and damp caves and the ferocious monsters.

There seemed to be many beautiful things that he had never seen before on the Blue Planet.

For example, the night sky where the galaxy flowed before his eyes, as well as the two silver crescent moons that were as bright as snow.

This beautiful scene made Hopper, who was covered in blood like a ferocious beast after the battle, recall that he was a human with thoughts and emotions.

He was not a monster that only knew how to kill and eat.

“Phew! It’s probably less than a hundred meters.”

After coming back to his senses from the beautiful moonlight under the night sky, Hopper let out a long sigh.

Hopper realized that the slope was not very steep, he chose not to rest. Instead, he chose to climb up the slope and climb towards the cave entrance.

Ka!

Because he had been attracted by the starry sky and the bright moon outside the cave entrance above, Hopper’s eight eyes did not look closely at the surroundings.

He was so excited that he did not realize what was happening until he made a strange noise on the slope.

“Is this… human?”

Hopper came all the way here on the bones of all kinds of unknown creatures.

So, aside from the fact that he was orienting himself with the direction of the skeletons, he was in a hurry to leave the cave and did not carefully observe the skeletons along the way.

However, Hopper suddenly found that the human corpse beside him was still ‘fresh’.

There was even a lot of rotten meat and broken internal organs between the sternum and ribs.

At the broken leg bone where the minced meat was hanging, one could vaguely see bone marrow flowing out.

Most importantly, there was a pool of blood on the ground that had not dried up.

Under the moonlight that was as bright as snow, it was particularly glaring.

Fresh blood slowly flowed down the silvery-white slope. It converged into a stream beside him.

Hopper turned around and looked along the blood-red stream. He found that along the way he walked there was a group of human corpses that had also died tragically.

Beside the corpses were broken stone pillars and stone spikes.

“It seems that this group of people is the adventurer team made up of aborigines mentioned in the world channel.”

“The reason why this area has such a wide field of vision is that the stone pillars and spikes that block the light were destroyed in the battle not long ago.”

“But how did these pillars and spikes…”

Hopper suddenly realized that the broken parts of the stone pillars and spikes were extremely smooth and even.

It did not seem like they had been shattered by those scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats with their screeching sound waves.

This unexpected situation caused Hopper to have an ominous premonition in his heart.

Just as he turned around and planned to leave this crypt as soon as possible…

His surrounding suddenly became dark…
