Tomb of the Fox and the Crow Chapter 163 The Totem of the Gods
It's waiting.
- Preamble
The curves on the stone wall form different patterns under the illumination of green light, telling the three people trapped in the cave the horror of the arrival of the gods outside the sky in ancient times - the alien body, the deformed wings, and the terrifying existence of revealing the body in their sleep became clearer and clearer in the minds of Bai Gu and Xuan Junyang.
Almost at the same time, ancient records and unfounded words came out of the mouths of the three of them.
"I once had the power to fall into the sea of crowns from outside the sky. ”
"Power rises where the water meets the sky. And the sky became black, and the waters white. All monsters awaken, all demons crawl out. The old gods fell from the clouds in flames, and meteors filled the sky. ”
Bai Gu struggled to stand up, but in addition to pain and weakness in his right arm, he also lost his former sense of balance, and almost fell to the ground, thanks to Jane stepping forward to hold him.
"I can't imagine all the ...... I've worked so hard to overthrow," Xuan Junyang held up the statue in his hand, looked at the lines on the stone wall that extended into the cave like meteors, and muttered to himself, "Maybe it's all true." ”
Bai Gu, on the other hand, focused on the content of the mural. He wanted to see what kind of story the former civilization wanted to show them across the infinite years.
Jane looked at him worriedly: "Bai Gu, how do you feel?"
"I'm fine. Bai Gu shook his head, and Jian Jian slowly let go of the hand that was supporting him, so that he could look at the mural closer.
Unfortunately, although the picture has been extremely realistic, Bai Gu still cannot understand the connotation. It's just a simple sight of falling stars, glowing crosses, and black monsters.
"Hmm......" Bai Gu, who didn't know the essentials, stretched out his blood-stained hand and touched the mural.
In an instant, as if the connecting channel had been opened, some extraordinary scenes flashed in front of Bai Gu's eyes.
It was the sky, the northern sky, and the endless sea emitted bursts of cold air. In the distance, a dazzling light fell.
A pair of vague hollows appeared in the sky, one red and one purple, as if godless eyes were staring at the peaceful and peaceful earth.
A dazzling cross light slowly rises from the horizon. Where the lights intertwined, the huge figure with wings on its back opened its eyes. In an instant, the sky turned white, and darkness seeped into the sea from afar like ink. Under the white sky, a black tide swept over with countless wild laughter, and the monsters raged towards the continent like a plague. Wails erupted, and humans tore their cheeks, poked their eyes, and spat black slime out of their mouths, eventually laughing in the same horrific way.
In the distance, the bell tower collapsed, and dust and blood rose in a mist.
In the sky, countless flaming figures fell like meteors, disappearing at the junction of the white sky and the black tide.
And the terrifying alien god just suspended above the sea of corpses and blood, staring at those hollow eyes of different colors, witnessing the coming of the end without saying a word.
"Ahh The horrors of those flashbacks then dissipated. Jane hurried forward and grabbed him.
"What's wrong?" Hearing Bai Gu's call, Xuan Junyang turned around and asked nervously.
"I saw it, I saw it," Bai Gu looked at Xuan Junyang in fear, "Just now, when I put my hand on the wall, I had a terrifying hallucination. Those things...... It must be ...... with this sculpture and with it", Bai Gu stretched out his hand and pointed to the terrifying image on the top of the cave, "It has something to do with it." ”
Xuan Junyang frowned, he wasn't sure if Bai Gu's mental state was stable now: "Maybe you're too tired, let's take a rest first." ”
"No," Bai Gu shook his head and resolutely rejected Xuan Junyang's proposal, "We have to find out, since we have come this far, we must find out." ”
As he spoke, Bai Gu stretched out his hand and pointed to the depths of the cave: "Junyang, look at those murals, they are far from over!"
Xuan Junyang looked at Bai Gu, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his reddened eyes.
"Since you insist, then let's take a look inside," as he said, Xuan Junyang picked up the glowing sculpture and shone it into the deeper cave, "Jane, you hold him up and follow me." ”
When the three of them left, Bai Gu glanced back at the entrance of the cave. Under the boundless darkness, the aurora in the sky writhed even more frantically, but I didn't know when the nightmare would end.
The green light shone on the stone wall, and the three of them followed the contents of the mural all the way inward.
"It's incredible. Xuan Junyang was shocked by the scene in front of him, facing the murals that seemed to wrap them in the whole world in all directions, and he didn't know where to look for a while.
Jane carefully supported Bai Gu as she looked around.
"What is depicted here is probably a more ancient era than we can imagine," Bai Gu looked at the mural and said to Xuan Junyang and Jian, "At that time, human beings had more advanced technology, more perfect systems, and more civilized spirits. ”
Xuan Junyang looked to the right, and the buildings depicted in the murals were indeed different from the various architectural styles he had seen, showing a more integrated structure that expanded to the sky and underground, which greatly increased the efficiency of space utilization, but also had considerable technical difficulties and challenges to the private economy.
Not only architecture, Xuan Junyang found that the world in the mural is far beyond the current era of their urban scale, transportation technology, and even the exploration of extraterrestrial space. Perhaps, human civilization really experienced a devastating blow before it had to start rebuilding from scratch.
"So, is it because of all the destruction?"
Following Bai Gu's words, Jane Gray pointed upward, and the eyes of the three fell on the top of the grotto. The blue-and-white paint probably depicts the "crown sea", the sea of the far north. At the place where the water and the sky meet, the terrifying image that first appeared in the eyes of the three of them was once again revealed across the water.
"That's it," Bai Gu tilted his head and glared at the monster in fear, "a 'god' from out of the sky." ”
Consistent with the translation, from the top of the cave, the frescoed buildings show signs of crumbling and collapsing, and the sky with a rocky background is covered in white paint. The three of them continued to move forward, the aqua blue paint turned black, and countless mouths were hidden in the black currents, looking exactly like the monsters they encountered outside—the evil god, disturbing the original world and destroying this high level of civilization.
"SO, THE RECORDS OF "AGNOSTOS THEOS" ARE TRUE!" Although the scene depicted in the mural can be said to have reached a terrifying situation, Jane Gray smiled at this time: "The research is true, then the Gray family's efforts for generations have not been in vain, and my parents are not dying in vain for those untrue conjectures!"
Bai Gu nodded and looked back. The road had been shrouded in darkness, as if with every step forward, the road behind them would turn into dust and disperse into the darkness, forcing them to an inescapable end.
"Go on," Xuan Junyang shook Jian and Bai Gu with the light emitted by the statue, "It is estimated that this cave is the place where that history is recorded, we can find the truth if we continue to move forward." ”
As soon as the words fell, the sculpture in Xuan Junyang's hand suddenly extinguished the light in his eyes, and the entire cave was instantly shrouded in thick darkness.
"Ahh
didn't wait for Bai Gu and Xuan Junyang to react. In front of the eyes of the three of them, a bright light suddenly flickered.
It was an image of light and shadow—strange evil gods dancing wildly in a sea of blood, the white sky empty, even the sun, moon and stars scattered. There are only severed limbs, collapsed ruins, and black ghosts walking on the ground.
Suddenly, a silver light flashed in the sky, like a sharp blade, like a shooting star, stabbing towards the evil god. Countless black shadows surged towards the silver light, trying to block its path with its viscous and abominable body. All that touched the silver light was reduced to nothingness, and nothing could stop it. Not even the evil gods themselves. Eventually, the silver light broke through the layers of obstacles and exploded into a dazzling cloud of light on the evil god's chest. Immediately afterward, the god fell, and fell on the huge island, which was struck in two by the impact of the god and the silver light. After the light, the evil god disappeared, the sky was still blue, the sea was still deep, and the remaining human beings found a totem among the crumbling mountains—the evil god protected the true appearance of the inner inside with his huge image of fear, and was sealed in the totem by the silver light.
People fear evil gods, white skies and dark waters, and demons that laugh strangely. So they cut the image in two with the edge of a knife. The terrifying and false appearance of the evil god was forever sealed in the hole, and the real inner side was taken to the other side of the broken island.
On that day, the aurora was full of sky. The people who sealed the totem of the evil god's shell chose to die in the cave with this secret. Their spirits dissipated, and their rotting corpses turned into pitch-black monsters day after day—even if they were turned into totems, the gods were still evil gods, and even sitting there was enough for the fragile creature to become its dependents. As a result, every long dark night filled with aurora is a day when the dark shadows run and call for the former extraterrestrial powers.
The evil god waits, it waits for its true inner self to return again.
The flickering light and shadow dissipated, and the sculpture in Xuan Junyang's hand shone again. This time, what appeared in front of the three of them was a huge totem. Its appearance depicts the appearance of a distorted, weird, and terrifying evil god, and that is just the false externalization of the evil god, and the vacant place guarded by the hands is the truth that the evil god has, and it is also the truth that Xuan Junyang holds in his hands.
Bai Gu could see that Xuan Junyang was trembling, because at this moment, his hand seemed to be embedded in the throat of this world.
