172 World Government
Looking at the quicksand below, which no longer had the slightest foothold, Su Bai said with fear: "I didn't expect that we had already stepped into the quicksand whirlpool, this place is really unguardable." ”
"But it's strange, didn't the person surnamed Huang say that the quicksand whirlpool is only within the range where we can see the ruins, and we have just seen the ruins, but it seems that we have entered the range of the whirlpool for a long distance, what's going on?" Bloody said strangely with a frown, and then she waved the other chain in her hand and flew in the direction where the three of them came.
Soon, the chain flew back again, only to hear her say: "The maximum detection distance of my chain is five hundred meters, and it has just flown to the end, but there is still a whirlpool in that place." ”
In other words, the three of them had already entered the quicksand whirlpool for at least five hundred meters.
Su Bai thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Huang Wenliang said that the coverage of the quicksand vortex was finally determined after many tests, and there are ordinary people among the testers, and our eyesight is obviously above ordinary people...... Of course, the difference in vision is almost negligible in a ruin of such a large ruin, but even so, it is impossible for us to see the ruins after so long in the whirlpool. ”
"But now we're in the maelstrom, what do you think of that?"
"The quicksand whirlpool is slowly spreading outward...... Perhaps this is the only explanation. Su Bai said.
"That's not all." Immediately afterward, Nightshade interjected, and she looked at the whirlpool below that seemed to be gradually calming down and said, "When we walked on the ground just now, the quicksand whirlpool didn't appear until you made a move, and it didn't reveal until you made a move, it looked like a living thing." ”
"Living Forbidden Domain?" Xueti's face changed suddenly.
Styx nodded, "Well, it feels very similar, but it's hard to say whether it's a forbidden realm or not." ”
"What is a live forbidden domain?" Su Bai asked the two.
Styx explained a little, and Su Bai suddenly realized.
"However, theoretically speaking, the forbidden realm is detached from the real environment, and even the highest level of the forbidden realm cannot change this essence, but this quicksand vortex exists in the real environment......" Styx said with a puzzled expression on his face, obviously unable to understand such a situation.
Su Bai also thought for a moment before saying: "This quicksand vortex is formed because of the power of the ruins, that is to say, the ruins have turned the nearby desert into something similar to the living forbidden domain through some kind of power, but it will not attack indiscriminately, only when we have a certain intention, it will be revealed, let's call it the pseudo-living forbidden domain." However, the Pseudo-Living Forbidden Domain did not exist in the first place, and if Huang Wenliang's detection was correct, then this quicksand vortex should have just turned into a Pseudo-Living Forbidden Domain not long ago, which could also explain why its range had spread so much outward. ”
"Yo, that's a good analysis." Bloody smiled and complimented, then asked, "Then shall we try it, look, it has stopped." ”
Following Bloody's gaze, both of them found that at this time, the monster-like quicksand vortex had once again turned into a calm sandy field.
As for the blood ti mouth, of course, the two of them also understood, it was nothing more than to go down and walk on it to see if this vortex would appear again if they didn't attack.
Su Bai shook his head, "Forget it, we don't need to take this kind of risk, anyway, both of you can fly, just cross the past like this, so as not to cause trouble." ”
Neither of them had any opinion on this proposal, and then they headed towards the ruins, but Xueti couldn't help but complain to Su Bai, "I said you, it's time to learn flying skills, like you are now, if you don't have me, you won't be useful in the air." ”
Su Bai suddenly smiled bitterly, "You think I don't want to learn?" ”
Of course, Su Bai doesn't want to learn, he can fly in the sky freely, this is probably the dream of all human beings, Su Bai is no exception, long before entering the underworld, he once asked the underworld for flying skills, and then he asked for advice from the masters of the underworld and Miss Xi, although they were not stingy with this, but unfortunately, no matter how hard Su Bai tried, he could never learn flying skills...... Of course, it's not just flying, to be precise, all the arts.
However, it would be wrong to say that he has no talent for the arts, in fact, he still has a very fast grasp of some of the essentials of the arts, but it may be a problem of physique, no matter how clear the theory is, he can't turn it into actual ability.
It was as if there was a gate in his body that completely shut down his path of immortality.
Speaking of this matter, Su Bai was still quite depressed, and he didn't want to talk about it more, but said: "Let's go back to the topic just now, through that quicksand whirlpool, I actually have a new view of the ruins." ”
"What do you think?" Styx asked hurriedly.
"Hmm...... Before that, let me ask you a question, what do you think is the significance of the existence of this quicksand vortex for the ruins? ”
The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Bloodty said, "Generally speaking, this is mostly to prevent other creatures from approaching the ruins, although it won't be of much use to me. ”
"Yes, that's the most obvious and probable intention." Su Bai snapped his fingers and said, "As a ruin that may hold countless secrets, if I am the owner of this ruin, then I definitely don't want some strangers to come here to find out what secrets, so I will set up some guards to drive them away...... It's this whirlpool of quicksand. Then, the quicksand vortex we heard about earlier, or the quicksand vortex that resembles the living forbidden realm just now, which do you think is more terrifying? ”
"Do you need to ask, of course it's the latter." Xueti had a natural expression, "If it's just an ordinary quicksand whirlpool, it can only block ordinary people, and even as long as you get some flying tools, you can easily cross it, but when it turns into a living forbidden domain and hides it, and reacts to the actions of the outside world, the power has increased a little bit, even if we don't fly up in time, it is estimated that we will be completely swallowed by it...... However, its inability to do so is a hard wound after all. ”
"Leaving aside its bruises, in short, we all agree that the power of this quicksand vortex has become stronger, and it was very ordinary at the beginning, so can we understand that the power exerted on it by the ruins is also getting stronger?"
"Ugh!"
Hearing this, the two were stunned.
"You mean ......"
"It's just a guess, but I think the ruins are getting stronger...... No, it may not be right, after all, it is a distant antiquity, and it should not be described as becoming stronger, but it should be said that it is gradually regaining strength, so its guards have been strengthened. As he spoke, Su Bai looked at Xueti, "Judging from the fact that the quicksand vortex is constantly spreading outward, maybe it won't be long before the hard wound you mentioned will probably be made up by something." ”
"Woo......" When Su Bai said this, Xueti couldn't help but hold her mouth, and said in a complicated mood, "Although I should have expressed my admiration for your reasoning ability, after listening to your words, I was more uneasy. ”
"Each other, each other."
Although this passage is still in the stage of speculation, if the misfortune is really said, then the next situation may become very bad, and the reason why Su Bai said it is also to give the two of them a wake-up call.
However, after hearing these words, he looked at Su Bai very strangely, and couldn't help asking, "I remember that you weren't good at reasoning before?" ”
"Yes, but since the trip to Rich Island, my mind seems to have become bright all of a sudden, and many times, as long as I understand the context of a certain event, I can deduce the whole event in my mind...... As for why this is happening, don't ask, because I don't know either. ”
Su Bai replied, in fact, to be correct, the real change began after fainting from the battle with the angel, and since then, his thinking has become very clear, it is like playing a game, suddenly increasing the character's intelligence to ninety-nine, ** no limit.
And for this change, Su Bai felt a little uneasy in addition to feeling more confident.
Styx glanced at him and said nothing.
With the strength of Styx and Bloodti, although they were carrying one person, their flight speed would not be affected in the slightest, and after ten minutes, the three of them had already crossed the quicksand area and stood on the platform at the bottom of the ruins.
From the outside, the entire ruins were built on an incomparably large platform, the part that emerged from the sand alone was more than five meters, and although it was an ancient thing, it may have been around for a long time, but there were not many traces of time on it, and the surface of the platform still looked extremely smooth, and there was even a crystal-like cold feeling to the touch.
Of course, it's still very hard, and I don't know what material it's made of.
The three of them stood on the platform, looking up at the huge castle in front of them, and the degree of shock was indescribable compared to before, in front of this huge ruin, the three of them instinctively felt a sense of insignificance in their hearts.
"Not to mention the power of this ruin, even if it is just an ordinary building, the person who can make it is very remarkable." Bloody sighed.
Su Bai nodded, "And this ruin is not ordinary at all, just looking at it like this, I can feel the mysterious power faintly revealed in it, if I actually touch it, I'm afraid it will be even more amazing......" As he spoke, he already looked towards the dark night and asked, "Can the underworld build such a thing?" ”
"With the environment of the underworld, such a tall building is completely unnecessary, even in terms of super-technological strength, there are no such buildings in the Changpantai and the Sixth District of the Stars, which are the most precedented. Of course, if it's just a simple building, it's not difficult to build it, but it's just ......"
Styx frowned and didn't say any more, but what she meant Su Bai couldn't understand it all too well - even with the current strength of the underworld, I am afraid it would be difficult to replicate such a castle.
"In that case, this relic should have existed before the destruction of the world." Su Bai said, during this period of time, taking advantage of his free time, he also made up a little bit about the history of the two worlds before and after, although a lot of information about the history of the previous world no longer exists, but he can also know that since the destruction of the last world, no matter which aspect, although the underworld has always been at the forefront of the world, it still can't be compared with the world of hundreds of races.
If there is anything in this world that cannot be matched by the underworld, it is only the relics of the previous world.
"Originally, for the history of the previous world, the underworld also kept a lot of information, but due to the two wars with the demon clan and the internal strife of the underworld itself, most of the historical materials have been destroyed, and the ability to verify the previous world has almost been lost, so if there is no special opportunity, it is impossible for the underworld to copy the technology of the previous world." Speaking of this, Styx couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"But isn't that the opportunity now?" After a moment of silence, Xueti laughed, "This ruin is obviously a relic of the previous world, and it may also contain a lot of information, if we can find it, it will definitely improve the strength of all aspects of the underworld." ”
"That's true, but you have to have a life to go back, hehe."
Just then, an untimely voice suddenly interjected.
The three of them instinctively looked towards the sound, only to see several figures walking out of a side door on the left side of the ruins.
From Huang Wenliang's news, Su Bai already knew that there were countless doors on the outside of this ruin, one of which was a main gate in each direction, and then there were all kinds of side gates, and these people actually walked out of the side gate, could it be that they had already finished exploring this ruin?
Thinking like this, Su Bai immediately began to look at these people carefully, and then the next moment he was a little stunned...... There were seven people in total, five men and two women, two of them were yellow-skinned Asians, two were blacks, and three were Caucasians.
And the one who suddenly spoke just now was a tall white seed, standing in the middle, who seemed to be the leader of this group of people, because of the somewhat malicious look in his tone, Xueti suddenly cast a fierce look.
"Oh, the cute little sister is angry, she deserves to be a ghost." Seeing her like this, a white woman opposite said jokingly as she walked over.
"Hmph, it seems that you have a big opinion of our ghost clan." Xueti immediately sneered, "I don't care when you started eavesdropping, but if you want to do it, just let the horse come!" ”
"Tsk, is this really good?" The woman on the other side had a smiling expression, "If I'm not mistaken, there seems to be a rule in your underworld that you can't do anything to humans, but we are humans, like pure-blooded humans." ”
Xueti's tone was suddenly suffocated, of course she knew that there were such regulations in the underworld, and she could see that these seven people were all human, but they had been so provoked, how could she still endure it with her surname.
"The underworld does have this rule, and it is not allowed to kill or injure humans." However, before Xueti could return the favor, Styx stood up and said calmly, "But this rule is only limited to ordinary people, if it is an ordinary person who keeps to himself, not only will we not attack them in the underworld, but when they are attacked by demons and monsters, we will do our best to protect them, but ...... If it is a human with ulterior motives, or when a human wants to kill or injure the ghost race, we also have the right to fight back. ”
As he spoke, Styx suddenly laughed, "Since we are already preparing to fight against our underworld, then before that, we should at least have a specific and clear understanding of the rules and regulations of the underworld, World Political Axe." ”
As soon as the words came out, the woman opposite suddenly turned pale, obviously angry.
However, Su Bai was a little confused, "Against the underworld? World political axe? ”
What the hell is this?
Styx turned his head and explained to him, "The underworld has always tried to maintain the balance between the two worlds, and although it will not interfere too much with the current world, it will still infiltrate the present world to a greater or lesser extent, such as lackeys. And this move is not only a threat to the demons and monsters, but even some humans have expressed their dissatisfaction with it...... They believe that since the underworld is in charge of the world of death, it has no right to meddle in the world of life, and in the eyes of this part of human beings, the power of the underworld has infiltrated into this world in order to gradually weaken the autonomous control of human beings, so as to control the entire human race......"
"It's not a gradual erosion, human autonomy and control have long ceased to exist." Before the night finished speaking, the white man on the opposite side spoke, "Although you ghost clan is under the banner of maintaining the balance of the world, what you have done is to cut off the path of human evolution, hide the truth, and instill falsehood, all along, you have only controlled the truth of the world in your own hands, and for us human beings, you have used false legends to fool us, so that human beings cannot get any evolutionary power, and will always hold the control of the world in your own hands!" ”
"However, not all human beings are ignorant, at least we will not be willing to let the ghost clan rule forever, so we have our world political axe!"
"Perhaps, our ghost clan has indeed interfered too much in the present world, but all this is to prevent the tragedy of the past from repeating, even if someone doesn't understand, it doesn't matter." The night was-for-tat, and there was a calm light in his eyes, "However, if our ghost clan really intends to rule over you humans, you have already been purged by us as early as the time when you established the World Political Axe, where will you have the opportunity to sneer at now?" (To be continued.) )
