Chapter 12: Gray Space
In the midst of the magma is a fiery world, and as long as you open your eyes, you will be surrounded by dazzling light. The boiling magma is not only extremely hot, but also constantly emits extremely pungent smoke and dust! At this time, although Xiao Chao followed the altar into the magma, because there was a thin film composed of magma on the altar, the magma from the outside world could not enter. However, the temperature here is extremely high, even if Xiao Lan has a fighting armor on his body, he actually feels unbearably hot for a while!
Suddenly, the entire altar stopped sinking, there was no longer a shrill roar around it, and above the altar, the magma in the red lines actually began to rise drop by drop! These magma beads kept moving towards the unknown creature in the center of the altar, and then began to wrap the humanoid creature in a very strange form!
These magma beads not only did not pause without any pause when they encountered the world-extinguishing fire on the unknown creature, but quickly stuck to it, and then, Xiao Chao saw an incredible scene! As long as these beads come into contact with the World-Destroying Fire, the boiling flames of the World-Destroying Fire will instantly become refined! It looks like it's stopped! In the same way, as long as these beads touch an unknown creature, whether it is the body of an unknown creature or the black mist that wafts out, they will stop instantly!
The unknown creature struggled constantly, but each struggle allowed more beads to stick to its body. As the beads stuck more and more, the unknown creature slowly stopped struggling, and then little by little it was wrapped in the beads! When the entire altar was covered with magma. The unknown creature was completely enveloped. It's like a huge round amber with a clear view of the inside from the outside of these translucent beads.
The unknown creature still stood there with a hideous face, but it was no longer able to move. It's like a perfect work of art, just standing there silently, without any movement at all. Without these magma beads, the altar would have lost its energy. Xiao Chao could see that the walls made of magma around him were rapidly turning black, and it was obvious that this was due to the transformation that had taken place after the magma had cooled down!
Xiao Chao slowly walked to the front of the bead. The unknown creature in the beads still has a hideous face, but it has no agility. Xiao Chao stretched out his hand and touched the edge of the bead, but it was just touching the surface of the bead. Xiao Chao immediately felt a coldness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow!
It was an extremely cold feeling, and for a moment, it felt like it wasn't just an object, as if time and space had been cut off in an instant! I don't feel the presence of my fingers. Any command to the finger is not answered without any reply! Suddenly gritted his teeth. Blood immediately flowed out of the corners of Xiao Chao's mouth, and with the sharp pain, Xiao Chao's body suddenly burst back, and this was the one who broke away from the bead!
Xiao Chao's eyes were full of shock, and it was only at this time that Xiao Chao finally knew what these beads were, and these beads turned out to be cold fire! Cold fire is the best in the fire, obviously called flame, but the temperature is extremely low! I'm afraid no one can think of it. This strange flame can only be produced in a place with extremely high temperatures like magma! The so-called extreme yin gives birth to yang. Just as the first light in the world was born in the darkest place, this cold fire appeared in the hottest place on earth!
This is, the seal? The doubts in Xiao Chao's heart are even better, mountain gods, insects, and unknown creatures composed of countless souls. Mountain gods, altars, cold fire that envelops living beings. Xiao Chao felt as if he was only one step away from the truth, but the truth seemed to be separated behind glass! Although I can see it, I can't touch it, almost a little, just a little bit! What is this little bit of difference?
Before Xiao Chao could finish thinking carefully, there was a sudden sound of banging and screaming all around! Xiao Chao's heart moved, and the blue light in his hand flashed, and the huge two-handed sword appeared in Xiao Chao's palm! At this moment, there was a louder banging sound on the wall formed by the cooling of magma!
There was a crisp click, and Xiao Chao turned his head in astonishment, only to see that the walls around him that were cooled by magma had been knocked out of a hole! And at the moment when this hole appeared, there was no magma flowing in, but a skeletal face was staring blankly at it! The grade of this skeleton should not be high, the ghost fire in his eyes seems to be extinguished at any time, looking out of this hole, Xiao Chao can clearly see that this skeleton is holding a big hammer in his hand, obviously it is the one who smashed this magma shell just now!
At this time, the skeleton obviously did not know why a human appeared in the altar, and its mouth opened slightly, and it immediately wanted to make a warning. But no sooner had its mouth opened than a long sword slipped through its mouth, and with a crisp click, the sword pierced directly through the skeleton's mouth and out of the back of its head! Then the long sword slammed into pieces, and the skeleton's spine was immediately crushed! The moment the skeleton's spine broke, its body went limp, and at the same time, the two ghost fires in its eyes slowly floated out and flew towards the sky. But before the ghost fire could fly a few times, a hand poked out of the hole, but with a light grasp, the ghost fire disappeared immediately.
With a few crisp sounds, Xiao Chao walked out of the altar wrapped in magma. Glancing around, Xiao Chao couldn't help but smile bitterly, this place is indeed not the depths of magma. I thought that it should have been the moment the formation was activated, and I had already teleported here with this altar.
The surrounding area is dim, and it looks like a scene in the movie Silent Hill. The main color of the whole world is gray, and from time to time there will be green ghost fire slowly floating in the air, and then disappearing in an instant. There was a full moon in the sky, and this moon was not the usual white, but a very gloomy green, and there was a scarlet dot in the very center of the moon, making it look like a huge eye looking down on the ground!
Xiao Chao jumped onto the roof of the altar's magma shed in a few steps, and glanced around, as long as he could see with his eyesight, it was all this kind of round altar! Xiao Chao's eyes shrank slightly, this altar represents the souls of countless human beings imprisoned in it, and each altar has unknown creatures imprisoned by cold fire, and here, there are countless altars! How many lives would it take to fill that would have to be able to assemble so many altars?
Xiao Chao suddenly thought that it had been more than ten years since the hundred ethnic groups joined the WTO, and in the past ten years, the human population had plummeted from tens of billions to less than 100 million! And the hundred tribes generally devour their bodies after killing humans, but they will not destroy their souls. As a human being in the 21st century, Xiao Chao once did not believe in the existence of souls. If there really is a soul in this world, then why can't we see reincarnation?
But the things that have been experienced over the years are connected, so that Xiao Chao knows that since some things have legends, they will have their inevitable reason for existence! There is no so-called reincarnation in this world at all, after a person dies, he will not drink Meng Po soup, he will not fall into reincarnation again, but will be imprisoned by these strange altars, and then devoured by those weird insects, and finally sent to this place!
Humanity has survived for countless years, and there have been countless souls in these countless years! And there are countless souls in every altar here, otherwise how could there be so many altars here!
Xiao Chao suddenly felt that he was extremely cold, this was the fear that emanated from his heart! Human beings have always considered themselves to be the spirits of all things, but what kind of life are human beings? Everyone is constantly making money and running around in order to survive, but human beings will die one day! Then people die like lights go out, and the hundred years they have lived are just a passing cloud, and in the end, they return to dust, no matter how prominent they are in life, they will be tortured by the Shadow Island after death! What are humans compared to Shadow Isle? Although Shadow Island has never been the overlord of this world, no matter what kind of creature rules the world, the soul after death is tormented by Shadow Island!
Xiao Chao breathed sharply, then closed his eyes and began to call out to Shivana in his heart. Xiao Chao and Sivana have a special connection, as long as they are still in the same space, then Xiao Chao can use this connection to directly talk to Sivana in his heart!
In just a few seconds, Sivana's young girl-like voice appeared in Xiao Chao's heart. Hearing Sivana's doubtful voice, the big stone in Xiao Chao's heart finally landed, as long as he can contact Shivana, then it proves that he is still on the earth, although he doesn't know where this is, but there will still be a way back after all.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chao said to Shivana: "I'm in an unknown place now, when you go back, tell Liuli everything I see, and let Liuli help guess what Shadow Island wants to do." You're also going to tell Terrance to send out his men to find all the legendary deity corpses as soon as possible, and I think there's a big secret ...... here. ”
Tsai carefully instructed Shivana, and Xiao Chao slowly opened his eyes. Xiao Chao felt as if he had stepped into a huge mystery, and this mystery related to the raison d'être of the whole world! Once, Xiao Chao saw Pangu's cemetery in the desert, and the corpses of countless gods, Pangu's powerful existence will die, and they will be imprisoned after death, what is this Shadow Island? On the Shadow Island, are there really only those giants...... (To be continued......)
