Chapter 981

The Giant Python didn't speak, and Su Yu understood something. He took a deep breath, his gaze lingering on the spikes of the pillar-shaped torture device.

These spikes were extremely sharp; Su Yu had no doubt that they could easily pierce his skin.

Su Yu's psychological preparation was quick. Before long, he followed the Giant Python's instructions and walked inside, standing between the spikes.

Of course, Su Yu was no fool. Since the Giant Python had given him such powerful strength, he couldn't possibly not use it. Thus, Su Yu applied power to himself; the strength of the mid-stage Domain Lord level could ensure he was unharmed by guns, cannons, or even low-level divine artifacts.

In a sense, this was essentially being invulnerable to blades and spears.

Seeing Su Yu stand inside, and simultaneously seeing the faint layer of golden light rising on Su Yu's body, the Giant Python frowned slightly and imperceptibly.

However, he ultimately said nothing. While looking at Su Yu's face, the Giant Python whispered a string of incantations.

The incantations spilled out from the Giant Python's mouth in a jumble. Su Yu's heart began to flutter; even though he had added such a strong layer of protection, Su Yu was still worried.

Gale Thunder looked at Su Yu and frowned:

"The protection on your body may not necessarily be useful. It is, after all, one of the ten evil objects of the Giant Rhinoceros... It's useless to advise you to be careful now; we can only pray he isn't aiming to kill you."

Su Yu's heart beat faster and faster. He even felt his temples throbbing, and his whole person was enveloped by a strong sense of unease.

"Mm." Su Yu only said one word. He even felt his nerves were so tense they were beginning to spasm.

No one knew what the Giant Python wanted to do, but the Giant Python had always been extremely cold, so much so that as Su Yu listened to the incantations he was chanting, his forehead began to ache.

The Giant Python chanted a long string of incantations. These incantations sounded cumbersome and complex, very much like the mysterious and dangerous spells that would appear in some ancient scrolls...

And as time went on, the speed at which the Giant Python chanted the incantations became faster and faster. Su Yu's eyes were fixed on the Giant Python's rapidly moving mouth, and his hands unconsciously gripped the corners of his clothes.

His voice became more urgent and louder, as if he were conducting a prayer ritual. Finally, the incantation came to an end—

And the pillar-shaped torture device suddenly contracted and closed, abruptly wrapping around Su Yu who was standing in the middle. All those spikes moved toward Su Yu in the center, and in an instant, he heard countless shrill laughs and roars rushing toward him.

These sounds seemed to emanate from the torture device. The moment it tightened, Su Yu heard these voices wrapped in endless malice.

There were many chaotic sounds. Listening carefully, the owners of the voices were all different—men, women, old, and young—but Su Yu could feel that their voices were filled with pain and misery, as if they were enduring some great, unbearable agony.

Su Yu frowned. The spikes indeed did not break through the layer of protection on his body to pierce his flesh, but he felt those dark, surging screams as if they were tangible, wrapping around him like a tide.

Su Yu stood in the torture device and listened quietly. He carefully distinguished what the owners of the voices were saying.

"Run! Escape the Giant Rhinoceros—!!!"

"Don't look back, the demon has descended!!"

"The Giant Rhinoceros has already perished; such a torture device existing here is truly ominous!"

These voices were very noisy. In the end, Su Yu heard a few sneers reach his ears. These sounds made his whole body extremely uncomfortable.

In such an extremely dark environment, Su Yu bit his lip, trying to identify the source of those sounds, but the more he tried to distinguish them, the more painful it became.

He felt his brain was about to explode in the next second.
