Section 496 Froghide
Ingres dodged again, but this time he chose to lean his back against the rock wall. When the harpoon flew over, Ingres quickly made a move, and the harpoon was firmly inserted into the cliff.
Seeing this, Angel thought it was all right.
But in the next second, the entire rock wall, which was at least more than ten meters high, was violently poked into slag by harpoons. With a violent force, the Harpoon's target was again Angell.
"It's annoying. Angel turned sideways, and after dodging another pursuit, he ignored the harpoon, but went straight out of his body.
The gravity vein instantly materialized, and a gravity cannon carrying endless waves of water rushed towards the harpoon.
In the deep sea, where the water pressure is extremely high, the power of Angels' blow has reached an incredible level, and the gravity cannon has undergone some transformation from the initial point-to-point attack to a face-to-face blow under the water.
When the harpoon comes into contact with a gravity cannon carrying a wave of foaming water, it immediately explodes into pieces and makes a loud noise.
The sound of the deep sea is not as easy to dissipate as it is in the air. It's like a hurricane, centered on the explosion, and it starts to spread crazy water streaks in all directions, and corals, rocks, and sand dust are rolled up and smashed in all directions.
Ingres didn't expect this blow to have such a big effect, and the terrifying wave almost surrounded him.
He immediately used the gravitational vein to drag his body up hundreds of meters. Away from the explosion range, I was slightly relieved.
The light of the fortress was no longer visible from his current location, and it was pitch black all around.
Still, even though he couldn't see anything, he could still feel the currents of the deep ocean below.
Angel used the Light Technique to see what was going on. But as soon as the light technique was used, the first thing he saw was not the ocean current below, but a whale about fifty meters long, swimming quietly past him.
As it passed him, the whale glanced at Ingres with its huge eyes, and then continued on its way without interest.
Although this ordinary whale, he can also deal with. But Angel was still scared out of a cold sweat, just imagine, in the deep sea, you can't see anything, you don't know the direction, you run away in a hurry, when you escape to a place that you think is safe, turn on the light and see, surrounded by huge sea beasts dozens or even a hundred times larger than your body, that sense of panic is completely from the heart.
The deep sea is like this, even if the creatures around you are not terrifying, the pressure it brings to you is far more than anything else. Because, no matter where you flee, you can't break free from the shackles of the ocean.
In the face of the empty, dark and boundless depth, human beings can clearly realize their own insignificance. Loneliness, loneliness, helplessness, panic will follow.
The most important thing is to be afraid of the unknown.
After the whale left, it didn't even set off too many currents, and swam leisurely into the unknown distance.
Ingres, who was taken aback, was not an ordinary human after all, and under self-regulation, he quickly recovered. No matter how big and vast the ocean is, you can see the end in the end, facing the infinite world, the infinite plane, the boundless universe, the ocean is actually no different from human beings, they are all so small.
With the help of light, Angel looked down.
Although the vision range of the light technique is not wide, Angel is also a transcendent after all, and as long as there is a light source, it is not too difficult to see the distance.
He noticed that near the slope of the seabed, a whirlpool was gradually formed, but gradually annihilated by the deep pressure.
When the currents returned to normal and the sand and dust returned to the bottom of the sea, Ingres cautiously dived.
Just as Ingres was about to return to the slope of the seabed, a creature with a dark green glint in its eyes rushed towards him.
Angel erected a wall of ice, but the wall of ice could not resist the comers, and it cracked at a visible speed. But the ice wall bought him a moment's time, and as he turned sideways, a dread spell was unleashed.
The combination of fear and the aura of nightmare made the creatures that attacked him instantly go from fierce to weak until they trembled.
Its dark green pupils were shrinking.
Ingres faintly heard an extremely low sound frequency, much lower than what ordinary humans could hear, and if it weren't for Ingres, who was already transcendent, he wouldn't have been able to perceive this sound frequency.
There were obvious long notes and pauses in the sound, but Ingres couldn't understand it, and only thought it was a rhythmic cry of "ahh
Presumably the object of this creature's fear?
As Ingres was thinking about it, he noticed that the creature's heart that had attacked him had stopped beating......
Ingres: "...... So, this is scared to death?"
His fear technique, combined with Nightmare, allows people to see immersive fear objects, and even if they are hurt by the fear object, they think they will be hurt. But in reality, there was no physical damage to him.
Could it be that the object of the creature's fear killed it in the Nightmare of Fear, so that it felt like it was dead, and then it was really dead?
Ingres was speechless, it seems that the object of this guy's fear is an object that will not give him a way to live.
He had wanted to try to communicate with it, but since he was dead, he couldn't help it.
Angel shines light on its corpse, a harpoon-wielding monster that emerges from a circular fortress under the sea. Its appearance is difficult to describe in words, it has two eyes and a mouth, and its nose is three small holes. Its skin is of the Toad family, slippery and secretes a strange lubricating fluid, and its bones are very strange, with a sunflower-like skull full of corners and irregular corners.
There are six limbs, and Ingres probably thinks that the harpoon may be holding a hand, but since they all look the same, it may be a combination of hands and feet.
In addition to that, it also has a tadpole-like tail.
Because of these strange combinations, Ingres didn't know how to describe the creature.
Humanoids shouldn't be, but they use harpoons and live in fortress buildings, so they should have entered civilization, right?
Because I didn't know what to call it, I temporarily named it "Frogskin Monster".
Ingres had a hunch that the froghide was supposed to be part of a large civilization, and that it was most likely related to the secrets of this Purifying Sea. In other words, it is possible that the exit is related to these frogskin monsters.
Ingres trusts his instincts, but the froghide is dead, and there is no way to get information through communication. You can only go to that fortress and find another froghide.
Angel examined its body and gave it a quick dissection.
It has strange organs that are very different from those of humans, and it also has gills on its neck. It has a large proportion of the brain, and the degree of exploitability should also be very potential.
Still, Ingres didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, except for the mucus oozing from his skin.
The mucus didn't know what it did, but Ingres could feel a slight fluctuation in energy, but this energy evaporated quickly, and before Ingres was still examining, it had already evaporated and turned into mortality.
Its blood is similar to that of a human, and it is red. As soon as it was dissected, it attracted several hideous and vicious fish to come and share the food.
To avoid a powerful predator, Ingres tossed the froghider's body into the unknown and descended down the slope.
After the previous turmoil, the slope was a bit of a mess. However, fortunately, the circular fortress was a hundred meters away, so it was not affected.
Angels opened the boundless silence and quickly came to the outside of the circular fortress.
He didn't know if there were any froghides in the fortress, and he didn't know how the froghider had spotted him, but Ingres was working in silence with all his might, just in case.
From the outside, the fortress is not very large, about three or four meters high. The repairs are not very elaborate, but because of the embellishment of coral shells, the fort has a little interest.
Angel came to the outside of the fortress, but still no frogskin monsters rushed out.
Perhaps, this froghide is solitary?
Angels looked around, it was pitch black, and there was no other building except this fortress.
It seems that this frogskin monster not only lives alone, but also lives in solitude.
The gate of the fort is open at the top.
Angels slowly ascended, and when he reached the glimmering window, he looked inside. The window is a four-petal window, shielded by a gelatinous translucent film, and Angels stretched out his finger and poked it, which was tough but not easy to break.
The interior is not real, but the luminous object Ingres can see, it looks like an oil lamp, and it is glowing with a dim yellow light.
Angel came to the top of the fortress, and the door was wide open. Following the current, Angels slowly fell in.
After entering the fort, Angels swam along the closed pipe for a while, and finally went around and around, and he actually got out of a gelatinous egg with an internal pressure much lower than the external pressure.
The design of this gelatinous egg is half soaked in water and half air.
Angel pushed the top of the gelatinous egg upwards and burrowed into the house.
Before entering the fortress, he didn't expect that it was actually a room without water, and the design of the pipes entering was extremely exquisite, the high and low loops, and the pressure pressure were all taken into account, and finally created a waterless space.
Just the design of the entrance and exit, Ingres estimated that it had already passed the stage of civilization and enlightenment.
Ingres looked around, this was the second floor of the room, and it was from here that Ingres had seen the fire outside the window earlier.
It was an oil lamp placed on the coral platform, the base was a shell, the oil lamp was lit by a cold fire, and there was not only no smoke in the air, but also a faint fragrance.
Ingres walked around, and there was nothing useful in the room, except for a coral table and an oil lamp, and a seaweed designed to make oxygen.
From the second floor to the first floor, there is a ladder with an opening.
Angel followed the ladder and climbed to the first floor. It was even more empty, with only one coral patch that looked like a bed.
However, Ingres noticed another point, the walls of this house were carved with strange words, as well as a somewhat human-like primitive totem.
