Chapter 337: Moon Beast
Liu Xing can basically determine that this circular space should be a sacrificial ground built by a secret church, after all, only a secret church would build such a circular space underground, or under the seabed, so time-consuming and laborious. X
Therefore, if this circular space is a sacrificial ground, then there should be an altar or magic circle in the center of the circular space.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing walked straight to the central area of the circular space.
Sure enough, Liu Xing saw a huge magic array in the central area of the circular space, and the outline material of this magic array exuded a familiar smell of blood.
"It seems that I guessed correctly, this is indeed a venue for a secret church to hold a sacrificial ceremony, but judging from this magic array, it doesn't seem that the secret church that built here is not the Ocean True God Sect or the Deep Sea Gospel Society." Liu Xing muttered to himself.
In addition to some of the more general magic arrays, such ritual magic arrays are generally more distinctive, such as the magic circle of the Deep Sea Evangelical Society, which has abstract deep diver symbols around it, as well as some wave patterns representing the ocean.
And now the magic array under Liu Xing's feet does not have these similar patterns and symbols, but Liu Xing also sees some symbols that look like ancient tribal totems.
Liu Xing frowned, if these unique symbols were really the totems of some ancient tribes, then could the builder of this circular space be some ancient tribe?
But this is an isolated island, and it is impossible to breed a tribe under normal circumstances, let alone complete such a difficult underground project.
Liu Xing thought for a while, and decided to contact KP Green Light said: "KP, I want to make a occult judgment now to study this magic array." ”
KP Green Light smiled, and immediately replied: "Liu Xing, have you thought about it, if you want to make a mystical judgment on this magic array, then not only do you need to pass a difficult difficulty judgment, but it also needs to take an hour to do it, because it is too dark here." ”
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "Then if I can completely illuminate this magic array, can I make a judgment faster?" ”
"Of course, if Liu Xing can completely illuminate this magic array, the time it takes will be reduced to forty minutes, and the success rate of the occult judgment will only need to be reduced by 20." KP Green said with a smile.
Liu Xing nodded, and decided to leave this circular space for the time being, after all, he could only stay in this underground world for fifty minutes, and he couldn't waste all his time here, not to mention that even if he could be judged by occultism, Liu Xing felt that he couldn't get much useful information, at most, a new force would be involved.
Therefore, Liu Xing decided to walk around the circular space one more time, and then went to other places to explore.
Just when Liu Xing returned to the wall of the circular space, Liu Xing suddenly saw a pile of bamboo slips appear in the divine urn in front of him.
Seeing this, Liu Xing immediately reached out and took out a bamboo slip, and then opened it and looked at it... Then Liu Xing found that he couldn't understand the content of the bamboo slips at all.
And most importantly, Liu Xing can be sure that the text on the bamboo slips is neither Chinese nor island, let alone English or other languages that Liu Xing knows.
If he insisted on saying it, Liu Xing felt that the words on the bamboo slips were a bit like hieroglyphs, because many of the words were like pictures, and Liu Xing still vaguely remembered that among the words on the bamboo slips, many words appeared in the magic array just now.
Liu Xing understood that this magic array and the bamboo slip in his hand should come from the same source.
Moreover, this bamboo slip also proves in disguise that the underground world of this fisherman's village should have been built by an ancient tribe, after all, hieroglyphs are also an important feature of ancient tribes.
But then the question arises, how could an ancient tribe appear on the small island of Fisherman's Village?
Liu Xing sighed, took out his mobile phone and took a photo of each of the contents of these bamboo slips, then put the bamboo slips back in their original places and continued to move along the edge of the circular space.
After walking a few more steps, Liu Xing found that a bronze gate appeared directly opposite the entrance of the circular space, because the color of this bronze gate was somewhat similar to the surrounding walls, so Liu Xing had not discovered this bronze gate at first.
On this bronze gate, Liu Xing saw a lock, which was a little small, which made Liu Xing think of the key that the panda pig found before.
So, Liu Xing took a photo of the lock of this bronze gate, so that he could compare it after he went up.
But now Liu Xing is very curious, what will be behind this bronze gate,
Moving on, this time Liu Xing walked directly to the entrance of the circular space, and found nothing else.
So, Liu Xing left the circular space and returned the same way, returning to the three-way intersection.
This time, Liu Xing decided to take the middle road, because if nothing else, the middle road should lead to the grass house where Dogo Iger was.
All the way forward, this time Liu Xing felt that he had walked a long distance, but the road ahead had never been in sight.
After a while, it was still the same.
Liu Xing realized that something seemed to be wrong with the situation, and according to his own speed, since he entered the middle road, he had walked at least a distance of more than a thousand meters, and it stands to reason that he had not only walked through the grass house where Dogo Iger was, but now he should be under the sea again.
This made Liu Xing can't help but wonder if he has encountered a ghost hitting the wall.
To put it simply, the ghost hits the wall because people are in a relatively dark environment and lack of appropriate references, so there is a problem with self-perception, which leads to disorientation and loss.
If it is explained in a scientific way, it is necessary to mention the instinct of biology, most of the creatures in the world, including human beings, if they move without vision, when they reach a certain distance, they will find that the trajectory of the organism is a circle, this is because the feet or wings of the creature are not completely consistent, so it is inevitable that there will be some incongruity, which will cause a certain small deviation, and eventually over time, these originally small deviations will accumulate into a huge error, and form a closed circle.
Of course, the situation that Liu Xing is encountering now may also be that the road in the middle is not actually straight, but has a certain amplitude, and may eventually form a relatively closed circular road.
Therefore, Liu Xing decided to contact KP Greenlight, "KP, I now want to have an inspiration judgment to determine whether I have encountered a ghost hitting the wall, or if there is a problem with this path. ”
KP Luguang thought for a while and said: "Yes, yes, but in order not to waste everyone's time going through the process, I can tell you clearly now that you have not encountered a ghost hitting the wall, and there is no problem with this road, after all, you have been moving forward with a flashlight, if there is a problem, you should have realized it by now." ”
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that this KP Green Light was also an upright KP, and he actually told himself the result directly.
However, KP Green Light is very right, Liu Xing thought about it carefully and found that there was no problem with this road, and he had been moving forward by the edge of the road, if this road had a certain amplitude, then Liu Xing felt that he should be able to realize it.
As for the ghost hitting the wall, Liu Xing felt that it was not scientific, and it was not Cthulhu, so he simply ignored it.
Therefore, Liu Xing only thought of two possibilities now.
The first possibility is that the road is indeed this long, and like the one on the right, it extends directly to the bottom of the sea.
The second possibility is that he has entered a certain magic array, or simply fallen into magic, so he fell into an illusion, after all, this is the world of the Cthulhu Run game, Liu Xing feels that it is necessary to consider magical factors and supernatural factors.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but pinch himself... It's a little painful.,It seems that the second possibility can be ruled out.。。。
Of course, Liu Xing is actually more inclined to the first possibility, after all, now that he has the experience of the road on the right, Liu Xing feels that it is not impossible for the road in the middle to go deep into the seabed.
Therefore, Liu Xing picked up his mobile phone and glanced at the time, and found that he had been underground for twenty minutes, so for the sake of insurance, Liu Xing decided to go forward for another five minutes, and if there was no result, he would turn around and return the same way.
As a result, Liu Xing only walked a few steps forward, and he made a new discovery: a large number of murals appeared on the walls on both sides of the road, which were depicted with some kind of white powder.
The content of the mural depicts a group of humans hunting, planting, cooking and other activities, and as Liu Xing continues to advance, the content of the mural shows scenes of war and sacrifice.
In the scenes depicting the war, the frescoes depict the camp of the depictor with some strange weapons, fighting the enemy who was still armed with spears and sticks, and then easily defeated the enemy.
However, what shocked Liu Xing even more was that Liu Xing found that the sacrificial scene depicted in the mural was not the blood sacrifice that Liu Xing thought at first, because those people on the magic array looked to be tied, but the sacrificial venue was likely to be the circular space on the right.
Then in the next few murals, a man dressed as a priest may have come to the door of the bronze gate after reciting the sacrifice, opened the bronze gate with a key, and then a group of terrible monsters poured out of the bronze gate, dragging all the people on the magic circle into the bronze gate.
The monsters had a pale body like an eyeless frog, a wide mouth, clawed hands, and a mass of short tentacles that were supposed to be their noses.
Liu Xing recognized it at a glance, these monsters were moon beasts!
The Moon Beast is a mythical creature with a high level of intelligence, and in addition to the images shown on the murals, the Moon Beast has the ability to change the shape of its body at will.
The Moon Beast lives on the dark side of the moon in the Dream Realm, and it must be mentioned here that the Dream Realm must be mentioned first.
In the setting of the god of love, the fantasy dream realm is a parallel space composed of the subconscious and the imagination, in which the physical laws are very different from reality, and there are a large number of mythical creatures living in the fantasy dream, and the moon beast is just one of them.
And if human beings want to enter the fantasy dream realm, the most convenient way is to dream, or firmly believe in the existence of the fantasy dream, become a "dream maker" to enter the fantasy dream, of course, you can also enter the fantasy dream through the possible gaps in the ghoul cave, and it is rumored that a certain sea of trees in the real world is actually connected to the enchanted forest in the fantasy realm, and a mountain range in Central Asia is connected to the cold plateau in the fantasy realm.
In addition to this, there are also some doors to other dimensions that may be connected to the dream world.
Therefore, many mods of the Cthulhu Run game take place in the fantasy dreamland, such as the blood soup mod that Liu Xing experienced with Zhang Jingxu before.
Speaking of the blood soup mod, Liu Xing is still very curious about what the rest of his teammates have experienced after he was "killed" by his teammates.
Back to the point, unlike the moon in the real world, the moon in the fantasy world has a large area of forests and oceans, and the moon beasts that live here only feed on living creatures, and can draw a special substance from the body and soul of their prey as food.
Because the moon beasts can adapt to a variety of climates and environments, they are extremely adaptable, and can use a lot of technical knowledge to expand their territory, so the colonies of the moon beasts can be found almost anywhere, whether in the real world or in the fantasy world, for example, according to the photos taken by the Apollo 11 spacecraft, in the dark side of the moon in reality, there is a very likely existence of a colony of the moon beast.
In addition to the colonies, the Moonbeasts also traded slaves in the port of Dras-Lane (an important city in the Dreamland), where they traded rubies for slaves and gold, due to the unique characteristics of the Dreamland, the slaves of the Moonbeasts came from all parts of the universe and various races, but most of the Moonbeasts still preferred to choose humans as slaves.
Because the moon beast will also spend a lot of time on torture and torture, as a pastime, seeking cruel joy from the pain of its own slaves, and the most important thing is that the moon beast will use spiritual spells to control its own slaves, so that their slaves can not resist, so the fate of the creatures that become the slaves of the moon beast is extremely miserable, and there is no way to live.
In the next mural, the moon beasts took out some strange things and placed them on the magic array, and then returned to the bronze gate under the priest's bow.
Seeing this, Liu Xing finally understood something.
First of all, the underground world of the Fisherman's Village was indeed built by an ancient tribe that had also formed some kind of partnership with the Moon Beasts, and the bronze gate was the gateway to the Dream Realm.
