Chapter 66: A Thousand Sails Passing by the Side of the Sinking Boat
The atmosphere in the stone chamber seemed to freeze for a while, and the dwarves looked at the remains of the Titans that were still glowing, and there was a dead silence.
After losing more than half of the soldiers and paying countless blood, the entire tribe was beaten into a piece of terracotta, but in the end it was such a result, how could it be acceptable to them.
A dwarven elder shouted "Titan, have mercy on your children!" despite his old age and infirmity, and rushed up and reached out to touch the eyeball.
Miracles didn't come, their methods didn't work at all, they didn't react at all.
He immediately sat down on the ground without the strength of his usual majesty, and began to weep bitterly.
The reason why the dwarves swore that they could inherit this Titan legacy was because they could indeed feel the echo of essentia and their own bloodline in their earlier attempts, but they were not active enough to extract it.
So they began to wait, and the price to be paid was self-evident. But the stars and the moon finally looked forward to the peak of activity, but the essentia seemed to suddenly close the door to them, and they could no longer feel a trace of echo.
For the dwarves who were originally full of expectations, it was not just to experience the impermanence of the hand of fate, a moment of heaven, an instant of hell.
"Brother Richard, why don't you try it. Robbie said suddenly.
As they had previously agreed, Richard was a potential candidate for Six, in case even the strongest dwarves were unable to take on essentia.
It is said that it is a potential alternative, but in fact, no one expected that this alternative would be corrected in this situation.
Richard opened his mouth and wanted to refuse decisively, but as soon as Robbie finished speaking, all the dwarves present looked at him as if they were looking at the last straw.
Lord Lord sighed, he could understand that the dwarves were unwilling to give up, so he had the idea of hitting a pole without dates. But he is a pure-blooded human with strong roots, and he has no blood relationship with the Titan's half a copper coin, and he has no hope if the dwarves can't do it.
Of course, it would be too impersonal to say this now. Even if it was just to soothe the dwarf's emotions, he should try it by pretending.
The dwarves didn't have the heart to prepare any more rituals when they got to Richard, and they probably knew it was useless.
"Okay. Richard walked over and casually reached out and put his hand on the eyeball.
This is the first time he has touched the remains of the Titan with his own hands, the rough and hard touch is like touching a stone, except for the extra heat that can be clearly felt in the palm of the hand, there is nothing abnormal, "It's a pity, I can't do it either, everyone still looks at it more ......"
The next moment, everyone heard a crisp sound like glass shattering, which seemed extremely abrupt in the silence where the needle could be heard.
"Click. ”
The eyeball, which was enclosed under the eyelids, seemed to be changing, and more and denser crunching sounds rang out one after another.
Richard immediately chose to run without looking back, and his intuition told him that this change had nothing to do with him, and that it was purely due to chance that time would catch up.
The others didn't bother to blame him, because the already glowing eyeballs were getting brighter and brighter. Even through the layers of flesh and blood, it is still like a small sun, illuminating the entire stone chamber as bright as day.
At its peak, it suddenly began to dim at a rapid rate, and everyone heard a crunch that was more pronounced than before.
"What's going on. Richard and Robbie looked at each other, dazzled by the drastic changes.
Both of them had tears falling from their eyes, like crazy men and women who had just watched Romeo and Juliet. It's not really because of any touch, it's just that the bright light just now was shining in the eyes.
"Chiqiu!" an even stranger voice appeared.
The lord squinted at the remains of the Titans, which were still somewhat dazzling, and the eyelids that covered the glowing eyeballs were like drums, and they were sunken and bulging one after another.
"Run, it's going to explode!"
The tearful Richard stood among a group of tearful dwarves and shouted loudly, the scene was extremely touching, but the dwarves did not appreciate it at all, and stared motionless like a demon.
The stone chamber was so quiet for a moment that it was as if a mute switch had been pressed.
The glow from the eyeball glowed brighter and brighter, and then vanished without a trace in a few breaths.
His eyes struggled to adjust to the sudden change in brightness, and Richard barely saw what appeared to be a dark shadow on the roof. He blinked twice to get used to the brightness before he realized it was an upside-down beast.
It was pitch black, except for a pair of eyes that were eye-catching red, and they were looking around alertly.
The Titan's remains had a large hole in their eyelids, and the inside of their sockets was empty, and it was obvious that this little thing had come out of there.
The Lord couldn't help but be surprised, the group of demon blinds involved in the dwarves of the mysterious realm were really unreliable. They wanted to inherit the inheritance of their ancestors, but they didn't expect that the Titan essentia would really "deteriorate" during the long storage period, giving birth to a new life.
Richard guessed that there was some snake and ant beast that preceded the dwarves, inherited essentia by chance, or could be a natural derivation like the legendary dragon planted kobolds with his teeth, but in any case, the dwarves must not be able to catch a single fart hair now.
This change was far beyond the dwarves' expectations, and they suddenly exploded the pot, and hula rushed to gather directly below, for fear that it would fall and die.
Nehru looked up and said blankly, "How much can I make up for after eating it......
Richard reacted quickly and pinched the dog's mouth, but it was too late.
"What stupid are you talking about!" an elder immediately retorted like a cat with his toes trampled, "You must not hurt him, this is the remnant of the Great Titan!"
This is not bad, after all, the soul is higher than the bloodline, and the inheritors of essentia are more pure descendants than ordinary bloodlines.
In terms of seniority, this little thing is closer to the Titans than the dwarves and giants, and it is no problem to say that it is a relic, and it is natural that the dwarves will value it.
"It's so touching, the Titans are on top. The lord wiped away the tears that he didn't want money anyway.
"And what do we do?" Robbie looked up, feeling the ease with which it was on the roof, and it might not be easy to catch it unscathed, but it was obviously even more impossible to just throw it here.
"Or call Anne and knock her out with blunt arrows. "Your Excellency, my lord, has the same bad idea of not wanting money.
After all, she is a half-elf, and Anne's archery accuracy is undoubted, but it is difficult to kill on the battlefield because of her lack of strength. But now the lack of strength is an advantage, if you let Hutt, who is also good at archery, get his hands on it, the blunt arrow will hit the lightest and will have a concussion.
