Chapter 256: The Secret of the Shadow Country (1) (Page 1/1)

Holding the blanket on his body, Todd walked out of the temple, looked at the green mountains and green waters in front of him, and took a deep breath of fresh air in a happy mood.

Towering snow-capped mountains rise above the lush landscape, and cascading waterfalls hang between rocky mountain walls.

The clear water under your feet is as clear as the instep of your feet, and although it is the height of summer, it gives people a frosty and transparent touch.

Rachel took Todd's arm in her right hand and let out a surprised exclamation as she looked up at the sky.

The eagle-headed and lion-like beast soared between the mountain streams, and its clear chirp resounded throughout the valley.

Compared to the amazed Rachel, Todd frowned.

In this other world, the western and central regions of the continent are like two spaces compared to here.

The biological system on the Moon Creek Plain is somewhat similar to the earth in the previous life, but here, it has completely departed from the scope of the normal biosphere.

What is the reason for the biological changes here?

With such doubts, Todd, with the help of Richel, continued to climb the trail of the snow-capped mountains.

It had only been ten minutes since he climbed, and Todd, who was weak and weak, was already sitting on the boulder, panting and shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

"I didn't expect that the maintenance of the monster form would be so physically demanding. It had only been twenty minutes since I climbed up the whirlpool from the bottom of the sea, but after that time, I felt like I had been drained of all my strength when I was back human. ”

Rachel straightened her hair for a moment, looked at Todd's lost right arm, and asked, "Speaking of which, I haven't had time to ask you what is on the other side of the Dark Door?"

Todd looked into Richel's eyes and asked seriously, "You really want to know?"

Looking at the other party's solemn nod, Todd sighed and closed his eyes.

In the next second, Rachel was pulled into the soul space without warning. For her, this entry, without any warning, could not generate any resistance.

Unlike the usual soul space, this time the space is an endless darkness. Richel's body kept falling, and her limbs seemed to be bound together by an unknown force.

She wanted to scream, but she couldn't make any sound. The entire body, and even the soul within the shell, was squeezed and imprisoned by a tremendous force.

Just as she was about to fall into this never-ending darkness, a huge eye slowly opened and looked into her place.

Yes!!!

Rachel screamed, and when she returned to reality, she saw Todd's concerned face.

"That was ......?!"

"That's the world behind the Dark Door. ”

Rachel wiped the sweat from her forehead and said in shock, "No wonder Meredith told me that people who have returned from the Dark Gate are reluctant to talk about their experiences. ”

After calming down, Rachel suddenly thought of something and asked Todd, "That was the ability of the 'Soul Link' just now?"

"That's right. ”

"But this link is different from the past, without prior perception, I can't even condense the slightest sense of resistance......"

Todd thought for a moment, then said, "After returning from the Dark Gate, my abilities seem to have changed. In addition, mutations that were otherwise uncontrollable can be managed to a limited extent. ”

With that, Todd stretched out his right arm. Slowly, metallic scales crawled all over the skin of his arms, and his five fingers turned into the appearance of monster iron claws.

The ability of "Weaken" slowly activated, and what was supposed to be a pale black glow turned into a billowing black-purple dark flame like a gasoline flame.

Todd gripped a stone with his iron claws, which turned into a puddle of powder in less than a second.

This lasted for a total of ten seconds, after which his arm returned to its original shape.

Todd gasped tiredly, and said weakly: "I can control a part of my body to mutate, and the abilities used by the mutated part of my body will be upgraded in power and form. For example, the "weakness" just now has been upgraded to "cracking". ”

"Split?!Is that the ability of Jerome, the ninth in line to the Legion?" said Richer excitedly, "This means that you have come into contact with the 'Tyrant'!"

Todd scratched his head: "Theoretically, yes, but I really don't remember when or where I came into contact with that substance after passing through the Dark Door. ”

"It would be nice if I had lab equipment on hand so that I could analyze my own blood and biopsies. ”

Hearing this, Richer sighed: "The 'Black Pearl' did bring a complete set of experimental equipment, but unfortunately it was all lost in the shipwreck. ”

Todd patted the dust on the blanket, stood up and looked in the direction of the uphill mountain road: "It's useless to think about this now, before we can't return for the time being, our most important task at the moment is to find a way to survive in the country of shadows." ”

The two of them, who were holding each other, continued to hurry. It took them a full hour to walk through a 100-meter wooden plank overhanging barn and sideways past a lonely cliff behind the waterfall that was only accessible to one person, and finally they came to a temple on the ridge.

The temple was built directly above the cliff, and when you look at it from a distance, you can see that it was actually carved out of the mountain wall by manpower.

Descend a long stone staircase into the temple's main hall, where a ten-meter-tall statue of the goddess is erected.

The stone statue has its fingers crossed and rests on its chest, and behind it is carved a round of spiked discs.

Richer walked directly below the statue and whispered the words of Rune on the tablet.

"The soul is born here, obliterated here, and all beings submit to the Lord of the will. 』

Todd frowned, walked around the stone statue, and after finding nothing, finally gave up on the idea of inquiry.

Walking into the passage behind the statue, a neat row of stone chambers was hollowed out in the mountain and built together.

Walking into the stone room, the interior furnishings are extremely simple, a stone bed, a stone platform, a stone bench, and that's it.

Todd gasped as he looked at everything in the room, and the scene in front of him reminded him of life in the monastery.

Compared with Todd's nostalgic thoughts, the attentive Rachel came to the wall of the room, rubbed the marks on the stone, and whispered: "There are words on this wall, the handwriting is very badly damaged, but it can barely be made by touch. This line is the Rune script, this line is the ancient Taylor script, this is the Ansaconian script, and I don't know these and these. ”

Todd asked curiously, "What's written on it?"

Rachel tried his best to distinguish for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "I can only recognize the type of text, the content is really unrecognizable, and I can barely find the words 'shadow', 'animal', and 'dark door'." ”

The two searched the room for a while, but hunger and thirst forced them to abandon their search and start searching for food and water.

"There's a spring here!"

Hearing Richel's shout, Todd looked into the innermost part of the temple corridor, where a stalactite-clad pool of stalactites was pouring clear and sweet fresh water into the reservoir.

Richer, who had not eaten a drop of water for a day and a night, was so thirsty that her eyes were about to smoke. She picked up a pinch of water and was about to put it in her mouth.

A cold female voice rang out at the entrance of the hallway.

"If I were you, I would never touch those poisonous waters......"
