The Seven Deadly Child
Xiao Tiankong's
Theo's chest was still tightening and pounding hard due to the sudden turn of events, he started to be relieved only when the Giant Centipede stopped writhing.
Theo was still pensive for a while. "I'm totally safe!" he's using himself.
Theo looked at the corpse of the giant Spirit Beast Centipede before him, looking to think for a while, then he decided to stand up and get closer to the corpse of the Centipede.
He looked around, then picked up a large, pointy-shaped stone that he found not far from the corpse of the giant centipede.
Theo then used the stone to smash the head of the giant centipede, digging into the head of the corpse of the giant centipede until he could see the round-shaped chunk.
Using a stone he poked the chunk. After gouging and falling on the ground, Theo took and pointed the round-shaped chunk upwards to get more light to see it clearly.
The chunk is nothing but a crystal beast from a giant centipede, Theo absolutely does not know the level of the giant centipede. He only intended to take the crystal beast from the giant centipede for his war trophy. Although in a slightly strange way, he considered himself the one who had defeated the giant centipede. This could be counted as his first hunt.
Theo smiled with satisfaction at the beast crystal before him, he then carefully placed the beast crystal into his shirt.
After the crystal beast affair was over, Theo looked around to find out where he was. He could tell that he was still at the bottom of the mysterious abyss.
But from a somewhat different environment, he knew that he was far from the original location he was in, he looked around and realized that the light source he had received no longer came from the glowing fruit and fireflies but came from a crystal-like stalactite attached to the sides of the abyss.
While being focused on observing the surrounding environment, a buzzing sound came back from the empty space above It was the location of the distorted space that formed the black hole earlier.
Theo immediately ran backwards away from the place. Before long, the similar events he had seen before were repeated again, space distorted again and forming a black hole, the black hole lingered for a while before it started to distort and disappear again.
After sitting down for a while and continuing to observe the strange phenomenon occurring in front of him, Theo was able to deduce that the space in the location would indeed periodically be constantly distorted. Open and closed, appearing and disappearing, so continuously.
Theo was at a loss to decide whether he would jump back into the black hole and return to his original location or continue his exploration from this point on.
Of course the most logical is to return to the starting point where Theo is already somewhat familiar with his environment and there are glowing fruits that can be used for survival food. But Theo hesitates to jump again into the black hole, because other than the black hole it looks mysterious and scary, because, he was even more afraid when it turned out that the location of his exit from the black hole was different from the original location he was in.
What if he came out and found himself in the location of a hideous spirit beast like a giant centipede? just thinking about it already made her hair creep in fear.
Theo then decided to reject the idea of jumping again into a black hole. Starting exploration from this point is the safest for now.
While looking around, he wanted to decide which way to go. While being confused to decide the direction, suddenly Theo's eyes caught the existence of a hole that was not far from the location of the appearance of space distortion.
Immediately curious, he approached the underground hole. After reaching the side of the hole, he looked towards the inside of the hole. The hole in front of Theo was not too big, just enough to fit two adult men simultaneously.
He could see the depths of the hole that were pitch-black, like it had no end. After looking at the condition of the hole, he had absolutely no interest in checking further. It was too dangerous and scary, he thought.
Theo decides to leave the place, but when he wants to step away from the hole. The ground below him suddenly shook and began to collapse, in an instant Theo's body fell into the hole. He felt the sensation of free fall.
"Let's!!!!!" Theo cursed loudly.
He didn't know if he was actually so lucky, or so unlucky. The continuous turn of events came in an instant on him the past few days.
Theo is back in free fall, the sensation of free fall reminds him back when he fell into the abyss for the first time. He began to hate this free-falling sensation.
He plunged for a while, the hole turned out to be very deep. But when compared to the tragedy of falling into the abyss at the beginning, this hole is not too deep.
Theo's body darted rapidly in the depths of the hole, until it finally fell into the water. He could feel a slight choking by the water when he first landed. His body fell in the depths of the water until it finally came to a halt, with Theo hurriedly swimming to the surface.
"Guaaahhhhhhhhh, uughhhh, couughhhh, Hahhhh..hahhhh..."
After reaching the surface of the water, Theo immediately coughed and began to release water that had choked his throat. Then he started breathing rapidly, his heart still pounding due to the unpleasant sensation of falling.
After calming down for a moment, he began to look around, he was in the middle of a cavernous room.
Above the ceiling of the cave, full of luminous stalactites that provide excellent lighting in this cave room, so Theo can see around very well and clearly. He could also see the hole where he had fallen earlier above the high ceiling of the cave.
Theo finds himself in a lake in the middle of the cave. In the middle of the lake, Theo could see there was a strange little island.
Before this, the appearance of a mysterious abyss was a rare strange phenomenon, just as Theo fell and reached the bottom of the abyss. He discovered two invisible spaces that had very opposite gravitational attraction. Then the emergence of the phenomenon of space that breaks and distorts produce black holes that when people enter it, they will be thrown to the side of space whose position is very different from the beginning he entered.
Strange things kept popping up before Theo made Theo no longer think about it too seriously, he then swam towards the island in the middle of the lake.
He arrived at the edge of the island that can be called as a beach, but the beach on the edge of this island has a jet black sand, very strange. Theo stopped thinking about the strange thing then started walking into the depths of the island.
Shortly after entering the island, Theo felt as if he were entering an invisible room, the same sensation he had when he exited the invisible space before when he first landed at the bottom of the abyss.
Before Theo decided to retreat, he did not want to go deeper after feeling the invisible space. A strange sight was again slapped before his eyes.
"What the fuck, what else is this??" Theo started gawking like a fool after saying that.
The view in front of Theo was amazing and not imagined at all by him. It was a tropical island with a row of green trees stretching out. The island is not too big so Theo can see the ends of each island. What was even more surprising to him was that when Theo looked up, he could see the blue sky stretching out and there was a sun above him. Inside the island, Theo could also see several small rabbit-shaped spirit beasts that had small horns were running around cheerfully chasing each other.
Theo who was shocked took a step back a few steps, until he finally fell sitting out of the invisible space. When the scene he saw changed again, he returned to the large cave room with a collection of stalactites that became the lighting center above him. In front of him was a barren rocky island in the middle of the lake, yet he could feel there was an invisible space before him.
After calming down for a while. Theo stood up, took a deep breath and again stepped into the invisible space. When his gaze changed again, he returned to the tropical island earlier.
"Is this an illusion??"
Theo felt very confused, he immediately walked into the tropical island, holding the trees inside the island.
"It's real!" Theo muttered after making sure the tree he touched was real.
Theo decided to stop thinking about what was happening, whatever was on his mind, he could not digest what he was going through and see right now.
He decided to explore the island. Because the island is not too big, it was not long for Theo to explore the entire island. Theo's steps then stopped when he saw a bamboo house that looked very rickety and weathered in the middle of the island.
"So, has anyone lived here?" Theo soon became very curious.
He then walked closer to the bamboo house. Arriving in front of the bamboo house, he opened the door of the house slowly. After the door opened, Theo saw there was only a table in the house, on the table there was a dusty bracelet.
When he wanted to step inside the bamboo house, Theo felt the house tremble a little. He then stepped back a few steps, shortly after Theo's retreat, the house instantly collapsed into shambles and flew dust everywhere.
"Uhukkk, uhukkkk" Theo coughed from the flying dust.
After the wisp of dust subsided somewhat, Theo advanced to the rubble of the bamboo house ruins. He immediately dismantled the pile of weathered bamboo that was previously a house. After a while of searching, he finally found the bracelet that he had previously seen.
Theo rubbed the bracelet, cleaning it from the dust. Once clean enough, Theo can see more clearly the bracelet, the bracelet is white. On the sides of the bracelet he could see small carvings like seal formations.
Theo wanted to see more clearly the carvings, but he felt not so clear because it was still covered with some dust, Theo then tried to rub it again to clean it.
While rubbing the bracelet, Theo's fingers suddenly seemed to be pierced by a needle. Fresh blood immediately dripped from Theo's fingers and quickly and strangely began to seep into the seal engravings.
Theo who felt his fingers pierced immediately reflexively threw the bracelet to the ground, and began to suck his index finger that was impaled earlier into his mouth.
After falling to the ground, the bracelet began to shine brightly, making Theo retreat a few steps away. Shortly afterwards from inside the bracelet came out a beam of white light, hovering high in the sky.
Theo who saw this could only gawk and fall sitting up, looking up towards the light flying. But still with the position of sucking his index finger.
The light then slowly floated down, now Theo can see clearly the light. The light was in the form of a human figure but looked somewhat transparent, the human was staring at Theo with a strange look.
Theo immediately choked and pulled out his index finger from within the mouth after receiving a strange look from the transparent figure. He was confused to be embarrassed or scared.
"Are you a ghost?" Ask Theo.
The figure did not immediately reply, he looked at Theo with a checking gaze for a while, before finally starting to open his mouth and answer.
"My name is Xiao Tiankong."
