In the shadow world of black and white, the bloody mud that constantly surges out of the black mist is rolling like living creatures. They continuously flow out of the mist, but they never seem to disappear out of thin air. They will spread further beyond the black mist. They resemble some kind of disgusting, creepy molluscs, and they continue to make disturbing and muddy sounds while rolling. At first Gawain thought that the sound was a normal sound during the rolling process of mud, but soon he heard a whisper from the gurgling sound, like a person whispering in his sleep. No one could distinguish the blasphemous and chaotic whisper. Any logical information heard in the media can only bring fear, irritability, assumptions and uneasiness.
Not only Gawain, but also Amber have never seen such strange things in the Shadow Realm. It obviously corresponds to the location of the original cultivation containers, but these bloody mud are the same as those in the Shadow Realm before. The rules of "reflection" on the real world are quite different. It is obviously something more distorted and should not exist here. Rather than saying that it "reflects" here, it is better to say that it occupies some kind of original cause. Something in this.
Gawain looked at the mud that kept pouring out of the black mist with instinctive disgust, and then looked back at Amber: "What the hell is this...it's these things that scare you." ?”
He felt a little strange. Although the bloody mud gave people a very bad feeling, and the constant whispers were also disturbing, and some kind of strange power was still there. He kept trying to put scary slideshows in Gawain's mind, but these things did not touch Gawain at all except for giving him a little bit of the excitement of staying up late watching horror movies in his previous life - and Amber was a master who was not afraid of anything. , a fierce man who dared to dig into the graves of ancient people during the demonic tide. It was possible that she was frightened by the mud, but it would be wrong if she was so frightened that she lost her bearings.
Amber also looked a little strange. She glanced at the mud with a little fear: "Yes...yeah...but I just took a look at these things and felt as if my head was going to explode." It's scary, even thinking about its appearance will cause hallucinations, but now I don't know what's going on... Although these things are still disgusting, they don't look like they are being attacked mentally."
"Really?" Gawain looked at Amber, then frowned at the mud, then he held the Pioneer Sword tightly and walked cautiously towards the source of the mud.
Some kind of intuition told him that the strangely powerful "distorted hybrid" monster outside was probably related to the mud in the Shadow Realm. If this mud was not solved, the investigation here would be very difficult. It will never be able to unfold smoothly.
As Amber watched Gawain move forward, she also squeezed her sweat nervously. In the face of such a foreign object that transcended common sense, her combat power seemed not so reliable - but the next second, she His eyes widened in shock.
Because as Gawain moves forward step by step, the surging bloody mudThe pulp is actually retreating a little bit!
This was not obvious at first, but after Gawain took a few steps, the mud that spread in all directions suddenly sunk into a large area, which was so obvious that everyone could notice it.
Gawain himself was stunned by this situation. He took another step forward, and the mud took another step back. He simply stopped, so the mud also stayed in place, slowly Squirming in place.
"What's going on?" Amber's surprised voice came from behind, "These things seem...afraid of you?"
"It's better to say that it's not so much fear. It's some kind of conditioned reflex that is very similar to biological instinct." Gawain frowned. He couldn't figure out the reason why the mud retreated in front of him for a while, but this did not prevent him from continuing to move forward, "That's fine. It saved me a lot of effort."
The mud in front of Gawain finally completely retreated into the black mist, and as Gawain continued to move forward, even the black mist finally began to shrink. , transformed, and it finally revealed a gap. Through the gap, Gawain could see at a glance the neatly arranged runes on the ground and the magic crystals that still had some glimmer of light.
Magic circle? Is it not a magic circle that is mapped from the real world to the Shadow Realm, but a magic circle that is really built directly in the Shadow Realm? !
Is it the work of those Gondor magisters back then?
Gawain was a little stunned for a moment, but when he thought about it carefully, he realized that this was not too incredible: the magic technology of the Gondor Empire far exceeded that of contemporary times. The unique human magic system at that time even made the elves think... Such amazing skills. Although humans could not understand the nature of the Shadow Realm at that time, this did not affect the ability of the more powerful magisters at that time to enter the Shadow Realm.
Amber stood far away from the bloody mud. Seeing that Gawain had not moved for a long time, he waved his hands and shouted: "What did you find?"
"Magic circle, It was built on 'this side'," Gawain replied without raising his head. "It seems that this experimental facility was built in two parts. The equipment in the current world is only one part of it, and the other part is built in the Shadow Realm. ..."
Amber looked very surprised: "Wow! People in that era were very powerful. They could also enter the Shadow Realm?"
"How powerful were the people in that era? But you can't imagine it." Gawain said casually, then stepped into the black mist, looking for the core formation of the magic array in the mist rolling against the ground. As the black mist continued to recede, This complex and huge magic circle was pieced together bit by bit in Gawain's sight.
With fairly good theoretical knowledge, Gawain quickly judged that this magic circle was very different from the conventional magic circle. Only part of it was "magic" and was a conventional spell talisman. or elemental runes, but other parts are engraved with special symbols called "sacred sigils" or "sacred runes".
Those symbols are not from the magic system at all.A ring, but a mark commonly used by religious people. They are also said to come from the eternal stone slab, and their function is to communicate and channel the power of the gods. The "magic circle" drawn with this symbol cannot be called a "magic circle", but should be It's a magical array.
In Gawain's common sense, the divine magic circle and the magic circle are two completely unrelated things, but the one in front of him... is the product of the fusion of the divine magic circle and the magic circle!
Furthermore, the function of this hybrid array seems to be extremely complex. From what he has seen so far, Gawain has discovered as many as twenty control rune groups, as well as a large number of similar charging structures. The runes... This kind of charging structure is not common on magic circles in the Gondor era. After all, the magic devices back then basically relied on the magic power from the Deep Blue Well to maintain. It is rare to draw free energy from the environment. "Inefficient" operation, but this magic circle set up in the Shadow Realm has a complex and huge charging structure...
But no matter how weird this magic circle is, its size is only It was only that big. As the black mist continued to retreat in front of Gawain, its core area was finally completely exposed. The moment he saw the core of the magic circle, Gawain's eyes froze.
Disobey the gods...devour the flesh and blood of the gods...eat with joy...
As these crazy sentences came to mind, Gawain's eyes fell on that thing for a long time.
It was a piece of artificial crystal that was only one foot square. In the center of the crystal, an extremely weird biological tissue was sealed.
Gawain could only describe what he saw as "weird biological tissue" because he couldn't identify what kind of creature the flesh-like thing came from. It was dark red and had no blood vessels. It has a structure like tendons, but something like blood is constantly flowing around it out of thin air. It may have been sealed in the crystal for thousands of years, but it is still slowly shrinking and squirming...
Like an immortal heart.
The truth is almost coming out, but Gawain can’t believe the bold association he has made, but if the sentence on the wall of the test hall is true, if those crazy and absurd manuscript records are true , then there is no doubt about what is in this crystal.
In the end, Gawain decided to trust his own judgment because he remembered the "battlefield communications" recorded in the fragments of the Eternal Tablet.
God is dead, and it is not unimaginable for his flesh and blood to fall into the world.
If a devout believer was here, or any local with normal views was here, after realizing what was in the crystal, he would probably immediately lose the ability to speak and move due to shock and fear. , but Gawain is a different kind. He is just a little worried that this ball of "god flesh and blood" will suddenly jump up and look like an aunt. After all, this kind of weird thing often means huge danger, but look at the blood around him. The mud and the black mist compete in fear, and it seems that this mass of flesh and blood is more afraid of itself...…
Gawain took the Pioneer Sword and carefully poked the crystal. The biological tissue in the crystal seemed to tremble slightly, but upon closer inspection, there was no change.
All in all, there seems to be no danger.
Gawain put away his sword, bent down and picked up the one-foot-square artificial crystal cube. It was quite heavy, but it was nothing to Gawain, and with this piece The crystal left the "magic-divine array" on the ground, and the remaining surging black mist and bloody mud around it disappeared almost in the blink of an eye.
The rune array that lost its core managed to run for a few more seconds. The few remaining magic crystals on the array quickly dimmed. In the end, only a complex and mysterious rune was left here. , no more visions.
"What is this..." Amber looked nervously at Gawain as he took out a large piece of crystal. This was the first time in her life that she had seen such a sparkling thing. But he couldn't bear the thought of stealing it and selling it for money, "I...why do I feel so hairy just looking at it?!"
"Do you really want to know?" Gao Wen held this piece of flesh and blood tissue that most likely came from a god, and glanced at Amber with a half-smile, "With your brain, you should have guessed something, right?"
"I..." Amber's eyes suddenly widened, and then she took a breath of air, "Are you kidding me?!"
"Legend has it that there was a war between gods in ancient times, and the gods fell to the world, and only then did magic, including magic, exist in the world. Since the power of the gods can fall, what's impossible about their flesh and blood?" Gawain smiled. He did not tell the information he got from the fragments of the eternal stone slab, but used the ancient language. The legend of the God War of the era is used to explain this matter. After all, no matter how much Amber escapes from the weird and rough lines, she still has the three views of the locals, and she also claims to be a devout believer of the Shadow Goddess. She directly told her that all the gods may be dead. She might not be able to accept the god-knows-what kind of shit that mortals are worshiping now, but the legend of the ancient war between gods has existed since ancient times - with this explanation, she should be able to accept it.
After all, it is okay to say that two or three of the gods fell when they were fighting, but it is completely another level to be blocked by the Zentraedi fleet and wipe out the whole family...
< p>Seeing Amber nodding thoughtfully, Gawain secretly made up his mind: If necessary, he would use the same explanation with people "outside" later.He didn’t want the group of people he had finally managed to gather, only to have his three views collapse due to his own efforts...
Even if it collapses, it must collapse step by step.
