Chapter 297: Nightmare

The Bafang Bright Moon Palace Lantern in Li Ang's hand emitted a peaceful and firm light, and the mist gushing out of the cracks in the ground would quickly dissipate once it touched the light.

All the dense fog, clinging to the surface of the cracks in the ground,

The spatial structure under the fog also seems to have undergone some kind of unobservable but real change.

As soon as they stepped out, they did not touch the imaginary rock gravel, but stepped on a thick fog that looked like a soft carpet.

[The spatial structure has been changed, and players who enter the abnormal space will not be penalized by the deduction of sanity points]

[The mission objective of surviving until "Sixth Barrier Shrinkage Completed" remains unchanged.]

Li Ang's heart moved, and as the system sent a prompt, the [Bafang Bright Moon Palace Lantern] also updated a note.

[Note: This lantern is the key for the alien society to enter the lowest level of the Demon Cave]

A group of players walked down the oblique downward fog channel, and under the light of the palace lanterns, the dense fog in front of them quickly dissipated, opening up a new straight downward path.

The electronic positioning devices and drone instruments used in Hatsuyin have failed.

The positioning rope that was wrapped around the beams and pillars of the subway station was also broken in two due to the fog of the rear passage.

At the beginning, Ash also held a multi-functional mechanical watch to record the time, direction, and distance traveled by everyone entering the underground tunnel.

However, this fog passage is not static, sometimes before the light of the Eight Directions Bright Moon Palace Lantern goes away, the rear passage will be cut off by itself, and in the gaze of the players, it will fly out directly.

And the crowd continued to march downward,

And the fog passage under everyone's feet began to look like a subway train car that quietly began to accelerate.

On the premise that the scene in front remains unchanged, with the players doing the displacement in various directions, front, back, left, right, up and down,

Of course, the most obvious is the feeling of oppression caused by the downward and upward acceleration.

This feeling is weird to the extreme.

Only by relying on the sea-level positioning function on the Ash Multifunctional Mechanical Watch can everyone know that in just a minute and a half minutes, they have descended to a thousand meters underground, and they are still descending.

The fog passage under the feet of the players, like a self-aware train car, flew into the tower along a crack in the tower.

During the journey, the gray-white fog around the passage became thinner and thinner.

People can clearly see the scene outside through the walls of the near-transparent passageway.

Outside is a dark and dark space, and all corners of the space are flickering with countless tiny points of light.

Countless points of light together form the outline of a giant pagoda building that stands in the sky, and the sense of oppression brought by the sheer size even made the players present subconsciously suppress their breathing.

As the fog tunnel moves forward, the player can see the structure of the buildings there.

It was the ruins of a tower-like building, twisted and conical in shape, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with a diameter of more than a kilometer at the narrowest point, and the widest part was obscured by the fog.

The main material of the building is some kind of cyan stone, with a small amount of brown giant wood, and various metals.

The style of the giant tower is simple and true, revealing a meaning similar to the barbaric barbarism and even evil in ancient times.

Empty, oppressive, silent, deep,

Even a glance at it makes it easy to tell that the building does not come from any civilization in human history.

In the middle of the giant tower is not hollow, but a bridge with a strange structure,

Most of the bridges have broken and are suspended in mid-air in the form of countless boulders.

A small number of intact bridges are dotted with more points of light.

And on the side of the bridge, there are also various stone buildings suspended.

Some of these buildings resemble Gothic castles, some resemble baroque churches, some resemble oriental temples, some resemble libraries in the shape of goose eggs, and some even resemble modern skyscrapers.

I can't imagine the specific role of these buildings and the meaning of their existence.

As the distance to the tower closes, everyone can finally see the points of light - they are not the lights, lights, or stars that dot the buildings.

Rather, they are deformed monsters that resemble deep-sea anglerfish.

They have the size of an ape baboon, with green fangs, sharp-beaked gills, and no hair on the surface, only an ugly, blood-red skin full of blood vessels.

The tail is wrapped around the waist like a whip,

The whole body is extremely thin, with a flesh-like protrusion above the head, shaped like a small lantern, and it is those lanterns that emit a light similar to that of an incandescent lamp.

These apes, crawling tightly on stone walls, bridges, and buildings,

Regardless of size, they have a long, slender chain of mist tied to their ankles that connects to the tower itself.

Most of the apes were sleeping, squinting their eyes and digging their sharp nails into stone walls and hanging from the surface of the buildings.

A small number of apes did not hang well, their nails fell off the surface of the building, and their entire bodies fell freely.

Fortunately, there are huge boulders suspended everywhere inside the tower,

Even if it falls, it will "bang" on a boulder below, open its red eyes, stand up and shake its head, and continue to climb the surface of the building and fall asleep.

There are too many ape monsters here, and the surface of the buildings and giant towers is densely packed, and the number is almost impossible to see at a glance.

Million? Or tens of millions?

Everyone was silent, quietly turning off the flashlight light,

In a dark and foggy space, the light emitted by the palace lamp became the only consolation.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, millions of ape monsters all over the giant tower opened their red eyes in unison and looked at the players in the fog carriage.

There was a dead silence, there was no sound in the air, and when the players looked up, they could only see thousands of white lights, intermingled with red eyes.

As if triggering a signal, millions of ape monsters jumped out in unison with a loud roar, and fell like a rainstorm towards the fog channel where everyone was.

"Hum—"

The Bafang Bright Moon Palace Lantern quietly burst out with a more magnificent and bright light, and as soon as all the apes came into contact with the light of the palace lantern, their whole bodies would fester, inexplicably spontaneously combust, and burst into bright fireworks in the air.

The apes died in piles, but more apes kept falling, impacting the light barrier created by the Bright Moon Palace Lamp in the Eight Directions.

Everyone was ready for battle, but the fog tunnel carriage beneath their feet accelerated sharply, and they rushed straight downward.

The speed of the downward fall was too fast, and everyone was firmly nailed to the top of the fog carriage by the acceleration,

The scene of the outside world passed by as quickly as a horse, and the players could only vaguely see the changing architectural style of the giant tower.

In the layers of the giant tower with different styles, there are all kinds of strange shapes and strange demons that are difficult to describe in words.

These demons even rely on all kinds of plants that grow on the inside of the giant tower, and hunt and devour each other, forming a complete ecological environment.

The further down they went, the more terrifying the shape of the demon became, and its size became larger and larger, and everyone even saw a ten-story scorpion, a human-headed giant snake that stretched for hundreds of meters, a titan giant with a hundred eyes, a hundred arms, and a giant one-eyed orb covered with tentacles.

Each monster is like a sinister creation that the creator has unintentionally created in a deformed and terrifying nightmare.

Unlike the upper level of monsters, these demons who are extremely powerful at first glance have generally fallen into a deep sleep.

The chains of mist that bind them are also stronger and stronger,

And with an efficiency visible to the naked eye, it is constantly extracting dark demonic energy from the surface of the demon's body.

However, it was clear that the descent speed of the fog channel was so fast, and the powerful demons seemed to be able to sense something, and they opened their eyes one by one, slowly and sluggishly moved their huge bodies, and rushed towards the fog channel, and even did not hesitate to fight for this, smashing countless cracks into the walls of the giant tower itself.

Seeing that everyone was about to be devoured by the giant snake with a woman's head open its mouth, the mist channel "banged", passed through a certain layer of invisible and insubstantial barrier, and reached the lowest level of the giant tower.
