Chapter 215
What a similar picture. Ning Yuan couldn't help but think of some of the materials and books he had read before. In the history of the stars, there is also a race, as depicted in the murals, because of the efforts of a certain person and some people, through all kinds of hardships and dangers, when the land of the stars was still full of tribes, the first unified dynasty of the stars was established in the world. Although this race belongs to the human race, it has an even greater name - Zhuxia.
"yes. What a similar history and a similar ending. These races, like the original Zhuxia tribes, have built a great nation under the leadership of a great ancestor through hardships and thorns. Ning Yuan said to himself with emotion: "It's just that the endings of the two are so similar." ”
The country depicted in the mural has undoubtedly disappeared into the history of the continent of Nino. Along with the disappearance were the Ice Clans and two other unknown races.
What about Zhuxia? Although Zhuxia once experienced glory and was known as the "light of the world of the stars" for a long period of time in the history of the stars, the Zhuxia clan has fallen. Falling from heaven to hell, and suffering from hell for 300 years to the quagmire 500 years ago. If it weren't for the fact that there were people who awakened in the darkness for the first two hundred years, walked in the mud, and re-emerged with the afterglow of Zhuxia a hundred years ago, and those who turned the tide in the great war called "War Without Gunpowder" that lasted for ten years in reality thirty years ago and lasted for three hundred years in the world of Creed, perhaps the word "Zhuxia" would have disappeared into the history of the stars like the unknown great country of the Neno continent.
But ah。。。。。
With some kind of indescribable complication, Ning Yuan sighed.
The end of the mural is also the end of the ice-blue channel. A stone gate appeared again in front of Ning Yuan's eyes.
It is not accurate to say that it is a "stone gate", but perhaps it is more appropriate to call it an "ice gate". The ice-blue stone door is the same as the passage wall on both sides, and the stone door has an ice texture, but the inside looks gray, and there is no cold air emitted. Ning Yuan has actually been unable to determine the material of the channel, not because there is no reference, but because there are too many materials that can be referenced.
Take the steps of the passage in front of me as an example, the feeling of looking at it or stepping on it is a kind of stone, but when it is struck, it is a dull feeling of wood, and the groove of the passage zenith into the bead, Ning Yuan found a texture like wood. The icy blue passage where the mural is located is made of a mixture of crystal and jade. The stone gate in front of me is like pure water condensing ice, but it does not have the transparency of ice, but there is a gray and heavy feeling inside, as if the ice is wrapped in cumulonimbus clouds.
Therefore, it was really difficult for him to get Ning Yuan to accurately describe the materials in the secret passage.
However, although the whole passage seems to be mixed with many different materials, there is no sense of disobedience, but because of the changes in texture, texture and color, it gives people a mysterious feeling.
The ice-like stone wall also has an etched pattern of the sun, but only in the center is a circular groove.
Ning Yuan looked at the groove and silently took out the "Source of Frozen Ice".
As the "Source of Ice" was drilled into the groove, the sun's etched streaks began to glow with a soft white light. Ning Yuan seemed to see a cloud of "mist" detached from the "Cumulonimbus Cloud" inside the stone wall, and then flowed into the "Source of Ice" along the etching lines.
As a steady stream of "mist" flowed into the "Source of Condensing Ice", Ning Yuan found that the vague human form inside the "Source of Condensing Ice" seemed to be a little clearer. The stone walls also gradually became transparent due to the gradual thinning of the "cumulonimbus clouds", as if the impurities in the ice had been separated.
By the time the "cumulonimbus clouds" in the stone wall disappeared for the most part, Ning Yuan could already vaguely see the scene behind the stone gate.
Ning Yuan, who vaguely saw the scene behind the stone gate, unconsciously showed an expected and unexpected contradictory expression.
When the "Cumulonimbus Cloud" disappeared completely, the solar erosion on the stone walls dissipated like washed ink. After Ning Yuan retrieved the "Source of Ice", the "Ice Wall", which had become completely transparent, vaporized in Ning Yuan's eyes in a manner like snowflakes irradiated by the sun, without any vaporization of smoke and water vapor.
The scene on the other side of the passage was completely presented in Ning Yuan's eyes.
It's still a straight passage that seems to never end, stretching into an eternal darkness that seems to have no end.
Yes. The passage ahead seemed to be shrouded in mist, gray and impossible to see, and the depths were dark with no light source. The darkness seemed to absorb all the light, and even in the misty fog with very low visibility, it was revealing its presence in an unstoppable way.
The real test is coming. This was what Ning Yuan expected.
What was unexpected was the jade treasure chest in front of him that was not within the rules.
The treasure chest is on the back of the original stone door, and there is no lock. There is no carved decoration on it, and it is bare. It seems to be a boxy and sleek jade box.
Such a chest is not in a chest with the five-color rule (bronze, silver, gold, gold, rainbow), and probably should not be called a chest, but rather a chest. The length and width of the box are only about 20 centimeters, like a dressing box or food box made of jade.
Ning Yuan picked up the jade box, although it was made of jade, it was not heavy.
After opening it, Ning Yuan saw nine porcelain vases neatly placed inside. Three bottles in a row, eight bottles, a slightly larger porcelain vase, and a slightly smaller porcelain vase in the center is a slightly smaller porcelain vase.
Ning Yuan took out a slightly larger porcelain bottle in confusion and looked at it, and unexpectedly found that the retrieval skill directly fed back the specific attributes:
"Bigu Dan (boutique): Contains 9 capsules of two turns. Second, one grain of Bigu Dan can be eaten for seven days, and there is no need to eat and drink within seven days. The state of the body is constant at a healthy and full stomach. ”
"Huh?!" Ning Yuan's brows tightened unconsciously, and he took out the other 7 bottles of porcelain bottles of the same style and size to check, and found that the 8 bottles were all exactly the same second-turn boutique Bigu Dan.
9 capsules per bottle, for a total of 72 capsules. Enough for a player to consume for 504 days.
Bigu Dan is a good thing, it can be said to be "a must-have medicine for home travel, hidden lurking, and long-distance wilderness", but the more Ning Yuan looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, and his expression became more and more solemn.
If Ning Yuan obtained so many Second Turning Gu Dan at other times, he would definitely be very surprised, but in the current situation, what Ning Yuan gained was not a surprise, but a fright, and even a feeling of fear.
And when harvesting the attributes of the small porcelain vase that was specially placed in the center at the end, this feeling of trembling rose to the extreme.
"Reincarnation Pill: After taking it, you can be reincarnated directly while retaining the character's attributes and the number of resurrections. Memory 1 capsule. ”
The moment he saw the reincarnation pill attribute, Ning Yuan directly closed his eyes, and his face turned pale. When I opened my eyes and looked at the foggy passage in front of me, I almost had the idea of turning around and running, going back and forth from somewhere.
"What is this? Halftime reminder or persuasion to turn back? Isn't that scary?! Ning Yuan frowned and muttered, "These supplies are considered the benefits of advance payment, and they also remind me of the difficulty ahead?" ”
Ning Yuan sat down cross-legged and put the jade box at his feet. Fingers tapped on his forehead in deep thought.
("So many Bigu Dan are still high-end goods in the second turn.") This is a reminder that the passage ahead will take a long time and there is a good chance that it will be trapped. The Reincarnation Pill reminds me that even if there are no deadly traps or killers ahead, there are horrors that can force me to the point of having to be reincarnated. ”)
But searching through his memory, Ning Yuan didn't have any clues about this test. In the memory of the boundary line, the time for the entire exploration of the fate was not long, and it was only two days from entering the hidden mountain crack to getting the heart of the city and leaving through the Dunjia Gate.
But the memories on the border line now appear to have clearly been erased and hinted at being modified. And since entering the secret passage, all memories have basically become discredited.
("I can't even determine whether the secret passages on the two realms are the same thing, and how to ensure the accuracy of subsequent memories.) Is it through the secret passage or not the nameless stele forest in memory? Is there really a city knot in the nameless stele forest? ”)
("No, there should be.") The previous memories are generally accurate, even though they are biased due to different boundary lines. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been here. So the urban knot definitely exists. And it is likely to be more precious than the memory of the B-class city without a home. ”)
("The question now is whether I really have the ability to pass the previous test and go to the Nameless Stele Forest and get the heart of the city, which may be more precious than I imagined?") ”)
("Am I really going to risk being imprisoned for a long time and being forced to be reincarnated to risk that I have the luck, the strength, and the chance to get that ultimate inheritance?") ”)
("But can I get it back?") ”)
("Maybe.") With my previous memories and the ability to 'Yesterday Dusk', I was able to follow the path I had taken and return safely to the foot of Dragon's Tooth Mountain. ”)
("But I have a hard time believing that the system, or the Ruin, would allow me to take out the 'Source of Ice' artifact component and the 98 'unknown lamps' that are likely to be related to the second artifact.) ”)
("The most likely course of action for the system is to take back the 'Source of Ice' and all the 'Unknown Lamps', and in all likelihood erase and erase my memory.) And because I am a brilliant relationship, this means of erasing and tampering is likely to be irreversible and permanently erased. ”)
("I can't live with this consequence.") And where do I go from here? The best outcome is to find a savage village to settle in. But what's the point of me coming into this world then? ”)
("The birth I chose was destined to be either a savage or a suicide reincarnation.") ”)
"That being the case. I... Why should I choose to return? Ning Yuan stopped tapping his forehead and looked up at the fog and darkness ahead.
"Actually, I started by choosing to enter this world and choosing to be born in the wild. I gave up my choice. Ning Yuan put down his hands and looked calmly ahead and muttered, "If I had come here after I had grown up, if I hadn't come to this world with some kind of thought, if I hadn't had that dream, if I hadn't been Huangsheng, if I hadn't 。。。。。。 Maybe I'll really quit. ”
"But now。。。。。。 I don't have a choice, and I don't have the idea of re-choosing. My birth, my purpose, the cause and effect of my coming into this world, and my current state are all destined for me to only choose to move forward. ”
Ning Yuan poured one out of a bottle of Bigu Dan and put it in his mouth.
Put the porcelain bottles in the jade box into the Kun bag one by one.
The jade box that will be displayed as collectible will also be included in the Kun bag.
Get up slowly.
"Not for the 'Ice Burning Source' that has already been obtained, not for the 'unknown lamp' that may be related to another spiritual object, or for the ultimate inheritance."
"I, I'm the most gambling one of the Ning family's generation. It is also the most selfish one of the Ning family's generation. is also the most intuitive one of the Ning family's generation. ”
"I'm Huangsheng. Among the many awakened beings of the stars, it is inconspicuous, and it is not even the one that has been 'awakened' in the registration of the government of the stars. But I'm Huangsheng. You can vaguely see the brilliance of the 'future'. A witness to the 'mixed element' of the world of stars. ”
"I am also the heir, descendant, and inheritor of the greatest nation and race that has ever been." Zhu Xia'ah, I can't give birth to 3,000 years of 'Zhu Xia'. ”
"Now I vaguely see that faint hope. Since he has unconsciously cut off his own back road. Since my heart wishes. Since I want to. ”
"Then," Ning Yuan straightened up, raised his eyes and looked indifferently at the darkness in the mist in front of him, "Go ahead." ”
Holding his right hand against the wall, Ning Yuan stepped into the mist-shrouded passage.
As he moved forward, the fog became thicker and thicker, and Ning Yuan could no longer see anything except the pure darkness in front of him.
At the beginning, Ning Yuan could barely see the passage within half a meter with the body sensation that he had improved after taking the dragon's blood root, but as he went deeper, in addition to the wall he was holding on to, the dense fog around his body, and the darkness in the distance, Ning Yuan unconsciously fell into an alternative state of reaching out and not seeing his five fingers.
It seems that Ning Yuan's entire figure has lost its image and entity unconsciously, if it weren't for the touch of holding his hands on the wall and his feet on the ground, Ning Yuan would have doubted whether he was only left with consciousness moving forward.
The concept of time in the passage seemed to have become blurred, and Ning Yuan's consciousness seemed to have unconsciously dulled.
Then, without knowing how long he had walked or how far he had walked, Ning Yuan suddenly found that he had unconsciously walked into that pure darkness.
I can't see my fingers, and there is no color in my eyes except darkness.
Ning Yuan's consciousness fell into sluggishness after waking up for a moment, and he seemed to walk forward again without any consciousness.
When Ning Yuan's consciousness was awake again, Ning Yuan found that he seemed to have unconsciously stepped into a void.
The touch of the walls and the floor no longer knows when it will disappear, and the footsteps do not know when it has stopped. There is no touch under the feet, as if it is still, in a state of not being up or down.
Ning Yuan closed his eyes in consciousness, and then opened them. There is nothing but darkness in front of you. Consciously, I lifted my foot and stepped on it, without any touch. The hands tried to wave a few times, but there was no sound of wind or any physical sensation.
"Where is this? What's wrong with me? ”
Although Ning Yuan's consciousness had already awakened, he was still a little sluggish.
"Am I not walking in a secret passage? Why is it here? What happened? How do I feel unimpressed? As his mind slowly became active, Ning Yuan felt an inexplicable panic.
Just when Ning Yuan was puzzled and confused about his state and his current situation, a strong feeling of hunger hit him, and he was lucky to regain some calm.
Properties
After Ning Yuan regained some composure, he subconsciously exhaled out of the character panel.
Looking at the character panel that appeared in front of him, looking at the words and the three-dimensional models of the game characters that still appeared clearly in front of him even in complete darkness, Ning Yuan finally regained a little composure.
I let out a long breath inexplicably.
Ning Yuan looked at the dazzling red words "Weak and Extremely Hungry" in the physical state column of the character panel and the yellow words "Full and Slightly Confused" in the mental state column, and fell into deep thought: "Is this a test?" Seven days have passed without you knowing? Am I asleep? ”
While thinking about it, Ning Yuan checked the system time under the character panel.
I was surprised to find that I don't know when the system time has completely become a question mark.
"What's going on?" Ning Yuan, who subconsciously raised his fingers and tapped his forehead, inexplicably found that he couldn't feel the touch of his fingers at all, and his ears couldn't hear the "dongdong" sound they should have.
Unconsciously raised his hands and put them in front of his eyes, Ning Yuan was a little frightened to find that although he could realize that his hands were in front of him, although he could clearly realize the existence of his body and limbs, his eyes could not see at all, and he could not feel the touch at all when his hands were striking. There is a sound, but the sound is not made at all, or it may be made, but the ears cannot hear it at all.
In addition to consciousness, it seems that four of the five senses of the body, including sight, hearing, smell, and touch, have completely disappeared, and even the conscious senses seem to be reduced to only conceptual body impressions and active thinking that has recovered from sluggishness.
If it weren't for the existence of the character panel, if it weren't for the words in his eyes, if it wasn't for the feeling of hunger in his body, Ning Yuan really doubted if he had lost his body, and only consciousness remained.
But both the character panel and the hunger in his stomach clearly tell him that his body still exists, and his five senses still exist.
It's just paradoxical that he can't see, hear, smell or touch anything except the character panel.
This contradictory feeling made him feel like he wanted to vomit blood.
As the hunger intensified, Ning Yuan could only endure this frightening contradictory feeling while taking out the porcelain bottle containing Bigu Dan from Kun Bao, pouring out a grain of Bigu Dan and sending it into his mouth.
As the Bigu Dan melted in his mouth and turned into a warm current flowing into his body, Ning Yuan seemed to feel the existence of a tangible physical touch again for a moment.
But only for a moment.
"Is this a test in the dark?" Ning Yuan muttered to himself, "The confusion of the five senses, you can see but can't see it, you can hear it but you can't hear it, you can smell it but you can't smell it, you can touch it but you can't touch it." The five senses exist, but they don't feed back to the brain. And while I'm conscious now, I seem to have lost consciousness in front? ”
Ning Yuan concentrated on using "Yesterday Dusk" to recreate the memories after walking into the fog, and found that the memories existed, but there were fragments in the middle.
After walking into the fog, the memories at the beginning, including the state of missing five fingers in the fog, the sound of feet on the ground, the cold touch of holding on to the wall, including the feeling that consciousness gradually dulled as he walked, and the feeling that the concept of time was slowly blurring in his mind, Ning Yuan could find it.
But after a certain moment, Ning Yuan's memory was gone. The last memory was a wave of sleepiness.
The memory that came back to my senses is now.
"I did fall asleep." Ning Yuan frowned and said to himself, "I don't know when I fell asleep and how long I slept exactly. Now it's certain that at least seven days have passed since I entered the fog. In the middle of the way, I kept walking along the secret passage, and even when I fell asleep, my body was moving forward. I can guess this from the time I remembered that I was still striding when the sleepiness hit. ”
Then you can assume this:" After Ning Yuan sat down in his consciousness, he began to organize his thoughts: "One, I am still in the passage, and this can be basically determined from the pure darkness around me. Although the area of the Nino Continent is infinitely vast, and the Fulong Mountains occupy a large area in the eastern part of the Neno Continent, there are tens of millions of square kilometers to say the least, but I don't think that the underground of the Longya Mountain Range, which is an inconspicuous corner of the Fulong Continent, has a straight secret path that cannot be walked out for seven days. ”
"Second, based on the area of the Dragon's Tooth Mountain Range and the location of the Nameless Stele Forest on the player's map opened on the boundary line in my memory, as well as the fact that I am still in the darkness of the secret passage after seven days now, this passage is either an illusion or uses a means similar to the mustard seed space."
Three, whether the above two assumptions are true or not. This purely dark space is the test for sure. ”
Ning Yuan closed the character panel, and then opened it again.
"The People panel can't be closed. Pure darkness will amplify the player's negative emotions, making people fall into fear irrepressibly, coupled with the chaotic five senses, as long as it is not a purely rational existence, it is impossible not to feel fear and despair. But neither fear nor despair has helped us in the slightest. The presence of a character panel at least allows me to know my status and remind myself as a sign. ”
Ning Yuan, who was thinking like this, stood up in his consciousness and endured the weightlessness that was tumbling in his mind, and took two steps forward, but soon had to stop again.
