Chapter 147: The Dead

In the dark realm of black and white, the blood-colored mud that constantly gushes out of the black mist rolls like living creatures, they flow out of the mist in a steady stream, but they never spread beyond the black fog as if they were constantly disappearing out of thin air, they resemble some kind of disgusting, creepy mollusk, and they constantly make disturbing muddy noises in the middle of the tumbling. At first Gawain thought it was a normal sound in the mud tumbling, but soon he heard a murmur in his sleep from the gurgling sound, and no one could hear any logical information from the blasphemous and chaotic whispers, which could only bring fear, irritation, conjecture, and uneasiness.

Not only Gawain, but even Amber had never seen such a strange thing in the Shadow Realm, it obviously corresponded to the location of the original cultivation vessels, but these blood-colored mud were very different from the previous Shadow Realm's rules for "reflection" of the current world, it was obviously something more distorted, and it should not exist here, not so much that it "reflected" here, but that it occupied something that was originally here.

Gawain looked at the mud that kept pouring out of the black mist with an instinctive sense of disgust, and then glanced back at Amber, "What is this...... Is it these things that scare you? ”

He felt a little strange, although the blood-colored mud gave people a very bad feeling, and the constant whispering was also disturbing, and some kind of strange force was constantly trying to put horror slides in Gawain's mind, but these things didn't have any more touches at all except for making Gawain find a little bit of the excitement of staying up late to watch horror movies in his previous life - and Amber is a lord who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and when the demon tide dares to drill into the graves of the ancients to dig graves, it is possible that she is startled by these mud, but it was wrong to lose an inch in fright.

Amber also looked a little strange, and she glanced at the mud with a little fear, "Yes...... Oh, yes...... But just now, I just looked at these things and I felt like my mind was going to explode, and even thinking about what it looked like would make me hallucinate one after another, but now I don't know what's going on...... These things are still disgusting, but they don't seem to have the feeling of being mentally attacked. ”

"Really?" Gawain looked at the amber and frowned at the mud, then he gripped the Pioneer Sword and cautiously walked towards its source.

Some intuition told him that the strange "distorted hybrid" monster outside was probably related to this mud in the Shadow Realm, and if this mud was not resolved, the investigation here would probably never be able to go smoothly.

Amber watched Gawain walk forward, and also pinched her sweat nervously, in the face of such a foreign object beyond common sense, the combat power seemed not so reliable - but the next second, her eyes widened in shock.

Because as Gawain moved forward step by step, those surging blood-colored mud were actually retreating little by little!

At first, it wasn't very obvious, but after Gawain took a few steps, the mud that spread in all directions actually dented into a large area, which was obvious enough for everyone to notice.

Gawain himself was stunned by the situation, and he took another step forward, and the mud took a step back, and he simply stopped, and the mud stayed in place, slowly wriggling in place.

"What's going on?" Amber's surprised voice came from behind, "These things seem to ...... Scared of you? ”

"It's not so much fear as some kind of reflex that resembles biological instinct," Gawain frowned, he couldn't figure out for a moment what the reason for the mud retreating in front of him, but it didn't prevent him from continuing to walk forward, "It's okay, it saves me a lot of effort." ”

The mud in front of Gawain finally completely retreated into the black mist, and as Gawain continued to move forward, even those black mist finally began to shrink and deform, and it finally revealed a gap, through which Gawain saw at a glance the neatly arranged runes on the ground and the magic crystals that still had some glimmers of light.

Magic Circle? It's not a magic circle mapped from the current world to the Shadow Realm, but a magic circle that is really built directly in the Shadow Realm?!

Was it the work of the Magus Gondor back then?

Gawain was a little stunned for a while, but when he thought about it, he felt that this was not too incredible: the magic technology of the Gondor Empire far exceeded that of contemporary times, and the unique human magic system at that time was even a skill that amazed the elves, although at that time humans could not figure out what the essence of the Shadow Realm was, but this did not affect the ability of the more powerful Magus at that time to enter the Shadow Realm.

Amber stood far away from the blood-colored mud, and when she saw that Gawain hadn't moved for a long time, she waved her hand vigorously and shouted, "What did you find?" ”

"The magic array is built on 'this side'," Gao Wen replied without raising his head, "It seems that this experimental facility is built in two parts, the equipment of the current world is only one part of it, and the other part is built in the Shadow Realm......"

Amber looked surprised: "Wow! The people of that era were very powerful, and they could also enter the Shadow Realm? ”

"The people of that era were more powerful than you can imagine." Gao Wen said casually, and then stepped into the black fog range, looking for the core formation of the magic array in the fog that was surging against the ground, and as the black fog continued to dissipate, this complex and huge magic circle was also pieced together in Gao Wen's sight little by little.

With a decent amount of theoretical knowledge, Gawain quickly judged that this circle was very different from the regular magic circle, only part of it belonged to "magic", which was regular spell runes or elemental runes, but the other parts were engraved with special symbols called "sacred runes" or "sacred runes".

Those symbols are not part of the magic system at all, but are the marks commonly used by religious people, they are also said to come from the eternal stone tablet, and their function is to communicate and channel the power of the gods, and the "magic circle" drawn with this symbol cannot be called a "magic circle", but should be a magic circle.

In Gawain's common sense, the magic array and the magic array are two things that are completely incompatible, but this one in front of me ...... But it is the product of the fusion of the magic array and the magic array!

Moreover, the function of this hybrid circle seems to be extremely complicated, as far as I can see so far, Gawain has found as many as more than twenty rune groups for control, as well as a large number of runes similar to charging structures...... This kind of charging structure is not common in the magic circles of the Gondor era, after all, the magic devices of the time basically relied on the magic from the deep blue well to maintain, and it was rare to draw free energy from the environment such as "inefficient" operation, but this magic circle set in the Shadow Realm has a complex and large charging structure......

But no matter how strange this magic array was, its size was only that large, and as the black mist continued to retreat in front of Gao Wen, its core area was finally completely exposed, and the moment he saw the core of the magic circle, Gao Wen's eyes froze.

Disobedience to the gods...... Devouring the flesh of the gods...... Feast on ......

As these crazy words came to mind, Gawain's gaze fell on the thing for a long time.

It was an artificial crystal that was only one foot square, and in the center of the crystal, an extremely strange piece of biological tissue was sealed.

Gawain could only describe what he saw as "strange biological tissue", because he couldn't make out what creature the flesh-like thing came from, it was dark red, there were no blood vessels or other structures, but there was constantly something like blood circulating around it out of thin air, it might have been sealed in the crystal for thousands of years, but it was still slowly shrinking and wriggling......

It's like an immortal heart.

The truth was almost on the verge of being revealed, but Gawain couldn't believe the bold association he had made, but if the words on the wall of the test hall were true, if the ridiculous manuscript records were true, then there was no doubt about what was in the crystal.

Eventually, Gawain decided to trust his own judgment, as he remembered the "war communications" recorded in the Eternal Slate fragments.

It is not inconceivable that God is dead, and that flesh and blood have fallen into the world.

If it was a devout believer here, or any local person with a normal outlook, after realizing what was in the crystal, I am afraid that he would immediately lose his ability to speak and act due to shock and fear, but Gawain was an alternative, he was just a little worried that this "god flesh and blood" would suddenly jump up and look at his aunt, after all, this kind of weird thing often means great danger, but look at the appearance of the blood-colored mud and black mist around him, It seems that this mass of flesh and blood is more afraid of itself......

Gawain carefully stabbed the crystal with the Pioneer Sword, and the biological tissue in the crystal seemed to tremble slightly, but after looking closely, nothing changed.

All in all, there is no danger in the look.

Gawain put away his sword, bent down and picked up the one-foot-square artificial crystal cube, it was a bit weighty, but it was nothing to Gawain, and as the crystal left the "magic-magic array" on the ground, the remnants of the surging black mist and blood-colored mud around it disappeared almost in the blink of an eye.

The rune array that had lost its core barely ran for a few more seconds, and the few remaining magic crystals on the circle quickly dimmed, and in the end, only a complex and mysterious rune was left here, and there were no more visions.

"It's ...... What the hell ......" Amber looked nervously as Gawain took out a large piece of crystal, it was the first time in her life that she had seen something so shiny and couldn't afford to steal it and sell it for money, "I...... Why do I think it makes me hairy just looking at it?! ”

"Do you really want to know?" Gao Wen held the flesh and blood tissue that was most likely from the gods, and glanced at Amber with a smile, "With your brain, you should have guessed something, right?" ”

"I'm ......" Amber's eyes widened suddenly, then she gasped, "You're not kidding, are you?!" ”

"Legend has it that in ancient times, there was a god war, and the gods fell to the world, and the world had extraordinary powers, including magic, so since the power of the gods can fall, what is impossible for their flesh and blood to fall?" Gawain smiled, he didn't say the information he got from the Eternal Slab fragments, but used the legend of the ancient era of the god war to explain the matter, after all, no matter how Amber jumps out of the strange rough lines, she is also the three views of the locals, and she also claims to be a devout disciple of the Shadow Goddess, and directly told her that the gods may all be dead, and the current mortals are worshipping God knows what the hell it is, and she is very likely to not accept it, but the legend of the ancient god war has existed since ancient times - she should be able to accept it in this way.

After all, it's okay to say that the gods fell two or three when they were fighting, but being blocked by the Zenith Star Fleet and destroying the whole family is another level entirely......

Seeing Amber nodding thoughtfully, Gawain secretly made up his mind: if necessary, he would use the same explanation as the people "outside".

He didn't want the wave of people he had managed to save would be completely collapsed by the three views he tossed......

Even if it collapses, it has to collapse gradually.
