Chapter 279: Absorption
The crimson flames completely engulfed the black qi, but it didn't hurt me in the slightest.
Is this what it's called a spell?
I looked at my hands and asked in my heart, "Can I do it too?" As long as the gesture is right? ”
"And with this body."
"Why?"
"It's a lot of trouble to explain, and I'll tell you if there's still a chance."
Shao Zun came to me at this time, obviously very surprised by the flames that had just appeared, "What is that?" Do you still have secrets? ”
"Hmm...... But this secret, I have only recently learned, and there are many more that I don't even know myself. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I don't even know what you want me to explain. Keep walking. So, we moved on.
But in addition to exploring the path, I was still thinking about what that thing was just now.
It is clearly not human.
So even if it is filled with insect venom, it is not considered an infected person.
Was that book the one who created it?
If so, there may be more. In this way, the luck of that person at the beginning was really good.
"Zuo Le......" Shao Zun called out to me at this time.
"Huh?" I responded, but didn't look back.
"You say, what would have happened if you had just been attacked by that thing?"
"I don't know, but it's not a good thing."
"You say here, will there be more of that kind of stuff?" He asked again.
"Perhaps...... What do you think of? The experience of the person who entered here before? "I think Shao Zun should think about the same as me.
"Well, I was thinking that if that thing touched a person, it would either kill the person or, like you said, get the so-called worm poison. Maybe there's something else, but I don't know. But I know that this kind of thing is something that ordinary people can't face. So how did the person before escape it? It's the fact that Guan Ning and I haven't encountered that kind of thing for so long, so could it be that this kind of thing can't enter the same space as the upper crypt? Or what are they guarding? As for that person, could he have been staying in the crypt for some reason? ”
Shao Zun has some truth in what he said.
That black gas is not necessarily insect poison.
If it is said that infected insect poison will be excluded from this special space, then the special space is equivalent to a protective role for that book. And whoever enters this space, whether they need to find the book or not, even if it is to survive, will explore the crypt all over the place.
So why did the first person to enter stand still?
However, there is no answer to these questions for the time being.
"I don't know...... Let's move forward first. ”
Continue exploring, and soon, you will reach the end of the road. There are rocks in front of it, and nothing exists.
So, we returned, looked for another fork in the road that was different from the upper level, and continued to explore, during which we encountered the same monster again. I relied on Dao Yin to set fire to it and kill it. But like last time, this time the end of the tunnel is still a dead end.
I tried more than a dozen times, and the results were all the same.
And the road we can take has been exhausted.
In desperation, we had to return to the place where we first met. Shao Zun said that when he and Guan Ning came down, the location where he appeared was also here. I studied there for a long time, and still didn't find anything special.
"Why can't you find it? Or is there some kind of mechanism here? "I'm helpless right now.
"The first person to come here, mentioned the box, the book you said, in that box?" Shao Zun asked me.
I shook my head, "I don't know." I've never seen anything like that. ”
"Looks like we're destined to die here."
"Not necessarily, maybe after a while, the box will appear on its own. After all, the person before was all out. ”
"You like to gamble on your luck, too?"
I smiled, "Well, I used to think I was unlucky. But recently, I've found out that I'm actually lucky. ”
"Really? But compared to seeing you before, in your eyes, I saw more depression. ”
"You're going to look at it again?"
We laughed at each other.
It feels like I'm back in the old days.
But alas, it's not the same as it used to be.
We realized this again, and our smiles stiffened.
At this time, Guan Ning suddenly said, "Master, my documents have fallen into the tunnel before...... I'll go get it. ”
"Documents? Something that doesn't matter anymore. ”
"I'll go get it, I remember where it was, when I got to the penultimate tunnel exit, I was still fiddling, it should be the last one."
"Then I'll go with you."
"It's okay, there's no danger in there anyway."
All the way before, all the monsters have been burned by my Dao Seal flames, and at this moment, this cave, unless it is haunted, it really doesn't seem to be dangerous.
But......
Maybe it's really haunted.
"Or we'll go with you." I also stood up.
Back in the last cave, we started lighting up the girl with flashlights along the way, looking for the girl's papers. But she didn't know exactly where she dropped it, and she didn't find it until she reached the middle point. Just as the girl herself was about to give up, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps at the end of the cave!
Shao Zun and I were both stunned.
Shao Zun was quick and quickly pulled the girl behind him, and I stood in front of Shao Zun at the same time, and the next moment, the white-faced and black-toothed monster that was exactly the same as before suddenly rushed out!! sweet potato
The girl screamed in fright, of course, more of a fear.
And I, quickly pinching my fingers, a ball of flame, burned the monster to ashes.
"How can there be?" Shao Zun was surprised, "We have come to the end before, is there still a fork in the road?" ”
"No, but get out of here first, there's something wrong here." I'm glad I finally decided to come in with this girl, but at the same time, I wonder why the thing I just killed has come back to life at this moment.
Outside the tunnel, Shao Zun and I sat opposite each other and thought, and after a long time, we raised our heads at the same time and said in unison: "It seems that we need to be covered by that black gas once." ”
"No," but after thinking about it, I changed my words again, "or every time." ”
Just now I have a question that I can't figure out, why do the young people who entered here before stay in the original area? It's impossible, no matter how stupid a person is, even if he has lived enough, in such an environment, he can't help but explore after staying for a long time, right? Although it is often said that the unknown is more terrifying than death, how many people are really willing to die in vain?
Will explore, definitely.
It's just that the black gas that I thought was very dangerous didn't actually kill people!
You won't even be infected with insect poison.
In other words, it is not possible to be infected for the time being.
"So seeing that book must have something to do with the monsters you have touched." Speaking of this, Shao Zun's eyes turned to me and suddenly asked, "Are you really, completely rid of that insect poison?" ”
"That's a strange question. Why, if you completely get rid of that insect venom, are you going to use your body to be covered by those black gases? And then try to lead to that book? ”
"There is this idea. But it's also under consideration. ”
"Heh, you don't have to. I didn't get rid of the insect poison, it's just this body. ”
"I still don't understand what you mean."
"You don't have to understand. Anyway, I'm still the one you want to kill. And if you get the poison, I'll kill you. ”
He nodded, "Okay, you can go." I hope that after today, I will not have the opportunity to meet again. ”
"Hmmm......"
So, I walked into the tunnel again.
I vaguely heard Guan Ning behind me asking Shao Zun who I was and why the dialogue between the two of us sounded so strange. Shao Zun didn't explain much, but he could vaguely hear him finally say, I am a close friend.
……
I entered the tunnel again, and sure enough, the monster I had killed twice appeared in front of me for the third time.
This time I didn't resist.
"Is that the way? Maybe it will fail. The cadaver asked me in his heart.
"Well, but I trust my own judgment."
"Well, you're the soul, you're up to the crackers."
So, none of us resisted. The monster climbed up my body, tangled with me, and gradually turned into black gas and merged into my body.
I didn't feel any discomfort, but I still felt like something was in my body.
I left the tunnel and saw Shao Zun.
"See the book?"
"Not yet. But it is estimated that the person before did not die the first time, and he will also change his path and try again. ”
"Hmm......" Shao Zun nodded.
I changed course.
One by one, I absorbed the black qi of more than a dozen monster incarnations, and the feeling of something in my body became thicker and thicker.
"I could feel it, it was insect venom, but it wasn't intended to invade our bodies." The dry corpse responded in his heart.
"So what exactly is he going to do?"
"I don't know...... Still, it shouldn't be a good thing. ”
"Is this what you feel like is the end of you?" It occurred to me that he had his original words.
"It's not here, don't worry, you won't die here. And, I'm dead, aren't I. ”
"That's not you, there's no such thing as a resurrection from the dead. You are not Wei Heng, although you have memories, you are you. I won't let you die either. ”
"Heh......"
We continued to absorb and collect the last few clouds of black qi in our bodies.
By the time we left the tunnel again, the footsteps had become heavy, and I could feel the weight, a weight that my body could not bear.
But the weight seems to be about to burst out.
Let's go back to where we entered the space before, where Shao Zun and Guan Ning are waiting for me.
When I got closer, I reminded, "You...... You two, stay away from me now, there's something...... It's coming out......"
So, the two men retreated.
I couldn't stand at all and sat down on the floor.
My body began to glow with a dark purple light, and they converged in front of me, and they began to be very scattered, gradually becoming regular, taking on a boxy shape.
It outlines patterns that I don't understand the meaning of, and it becomes clearer and clearer.
Until the box in the mouth of the man appeared in front of us. And at this time, the dry corpse suddenly forcibly took back control of the body, and I could only watch, not move! So I asked in my heart, "What do you do?" ”
"For the insect venom to invade this body, I need to resist it...... Belch! ”
The words fell, and the flames burned his body!
We all feel that pain.
"This ...... This is a mechanism, but it is not a Mi family mechanism. We're going to have to open it, before I'm burned to death, or completely invaded by the moth. This mechanism is linked to the special space in front of you, and only by opening it can you unlock the limitations of the space, otherwise, there is no way to leave here with the book. Now, tell me what to do! ”
