Chapter 333 Humanity
Kelly stumbled and ran in the cemetery. She had never been so embarrassed before. She had no regrets about leaving Kent behind, because if the two of them were in the same role, Kent would definitely do the same thing.
She hid in the cemetery for a while to see if she could find a chance to leave this terrible village. However, while running around, she accidentally discovered Arbogast's secret room.
Kelly walked in in a panic. After groping in the dark passage, she successfully came to the naturally formed cave.
Her eyes had adapted to the darkness in the passage, so she easily found the torch stuck on the wall. Kelly walked forward carefully, fearing that she would trigger some mechanism.
Everything seemed to go well. She took down the torch on the wall, took out a match and lit it, and the orange flame illuminated the surroundings.
Looking at the cave that looked like a small library, Kelly was full of doubts, but she didn't have time to think about it. She hoped to hide here for a while, but if she did, she would have no idea what was happening outside, and she would not be able to grasp the opportunity to escape.
The food she brought would only last for two days at most, and she couldn't live here forever. Besides, it was obvious that someone had built this place, so what would she do if that person came back?
Her thoughts were like a mess, Kelly inserted the torch back into the rock wall, found a place to sit down, adjusted her breathing, and whispered to herself: "Calm down, calm down. I can do it, I can do it."
After several deep breaths, Kelly regained her composure, and she scanned the surroundings, trying to find something that could be useful.
Just then she heard a shout from outside, and the voice sounded like Kent. Kelly's heart tightened, she was not a fool, and knew that this was impossible.
Given Kent's state at the time, it would take a miracle for him to escape from the snake man. So there was only one possibility, something was imitating his voice.
When she thought of this possibility, Kelly felt a chill behind her. She held the gun tightly in her hand. This was her only weapon.
The voice became clearer and clearer, and Kelly became more and more nervous. She didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that the other party would hear her.
The entrance to this cave was very secret. If it weren't for God's blessing, she wouldn't be able to find it at all. Kelly hoped that the thing outside wouldn't notice it.
Outside the cave, Kent, who had just become a half-snake man, used a letter to collect information about his prey. The rotten smell of the cemetery soil and a disgusting smell made his snake letter fail to play its due role.
He stopped and looked around angrily. The cemetery was large, but there were not many places to hide, and Kelly's smell was mixed in it.
Kent squatted down and stirred the soil with his hands. He finally knew where the unpleasant smell came from-someone mixed realgar in the soil.
After becoming a half-snake man, his sense of smell was greatly improved, and he became particularly sensitive to this irritating smell. Although it is not clear who put the realgar here, it means that someone does not want the snake man to approach this area.
Kent narrowed his eyes and searched for suspicious places. With years of experience, he felt that there should be other hiding places here.
After searching for a circle without results, Kent's anger became more and more intense. He felt hungry, a hunger he had never felt before, and the prey was nowhere to be found.
Was he going to eat the corpse in the church as Frank said? No, he must not compromise. Frank just transformed a few days earlier than him, and he had no right to make decisions. He...he was the one chosen by the snake god.
Kent's brain exploded with a buzzing sound, and he suddenly became much more sober. He was surprised at his thoughts just now, and he felt a little scared.
Snake god? The chosen person, damn, these horrible thoughts are subtly influencing him. He knows that he is gradually losing his humanity. The moment the transformation is completed, he is no longer a human being.
And the little humanity he had left was slowly being worn away, and by then, he would become a complete dream monster. This reminded him of the fake Quentin.
Does that man still have humanity, or is he also dominated by a more powerful person, and what he did was not his own will at all?
Confusion and bewilderment made Kent anxious. Although he had gained abilities far beyond ordinary people, he was also losing his qualifications as a person.
Is this the price of power? Kent asked himself in his heart, and after a brief thought, he came up with his own answer. If this is the price, he is willing to accept it.
So what if he loses his humanity, he can only gain power. He has always believed in the law of the jungle, and firmly believes that only the strong can survive in this world, and the weak, the weak should be oppressed by nature. In comparison, humans are too weak, and they are only worthy of being slaves.
Kent cleared the confusion in his heart. He should not think of himself as a human being now, but as a creature at the top of the food chain. Yes, his existence is higher than that of humans.
"Ah~ I found you, woman." Kent was secretly delighted. He found several footprints. Judging from the size, it was most likely Kelly.
If you don't know how to hide your whereabouts, you won't survive a day in the jungle. Kent lamented the other party's stupidity in his heart while following the footprints.
Soon, he found the hidden passage, which was at the foot of the steep cliff, surrounded by a pile of green leaves, vines and weeds.
He stood firm at the entrance of the cave. The smell of realgar was stronger here. It was obvious that someone had deliberately hidden this passage.
Kelly's footprints disappeared not far away, but Kent was sure that she was in here. He smelled the familiar smell, although it was looming.
The hunter no longer hesitated. He rushed into the passage and moved forward. The improved vision allowed him to move freely in the dark, and the newly acquired thermal imaging ability allowed him to clearly know where his prey was.
He saw the light. The dazzling light made him temporarily turn off the thermal imaging. His original vision saw the woman clearly.
"Kelly, you locked yourself in a cage, haha."
Facing this snake man who could make Kent's voice, Kelly was surprised, but she was not scared. Instead, she threw the torch in her hand forward.
Suddenly, flames rose from the ground. Kent was unable to react for a while. He was stunned for two seconds, and then ran in the direction he had come from before, but the scorching flames blocked all his ways.
"No, damn woman, what have you done? Do you want to die with me?"
Looking at the increasingly fierce fire, Kelly sneered and turned to escape into another passage.
