Chapter 315: Message
In the empty hall, the blood from the polar bear's carcass was still bubbling, and Konstantin was still tearing and devouring flesh like a beast, enjoying a gluttonous meal with a tooth-aching chewing sound, and his concentration made him ignore even the intruding outsiders.
Dong Bin stiffly maintained the movement of seeing the giant transparent spider raise his head instantly, reducing the noise he created as much as possible, and at the same time slowly retracting his gaze little by little - he knew very well that for beings close to the gods, just being watched and seen could attract their attention.
For a moment, a fluke thought flashed in his mind - this monster may not have been resurrected, or it had not completely descended into this world, but this small hope was quickly and ruthlessly shattered by reality.
The transparent giant spider, every detail of its body was so real, you could almost see the streamers dancing and refracting on its surface, the dust being rolled up and swirling by the flowing air—everything was clearly explained, there, in the high space, there was a real behemoth.
The giant spider's body rose and fell slowly, as if breathing, as if its heart was beating, and occasionally the curved and hideous chelicerae twitched nervously. Dong Bin swallowed his saliva, the evil spirit in the astrolabe has not only descended to this world, but also ...... It's still alive!
The sound of entering the door did not wake it, nor did the sudden opening of the lights...... This is a good thing and a blessing for them.
But there is no guarantee that this luck will continue.
No one can guarantee that the next sound he made will be the last straw that will wake that terrifying existence from its deep slumber.
Dong Bin felt Edith's hand fumbling to find his hand, and then the two hands clasped tightly together. In the face of that god-like terror, mortals can only snuggle up to each other for warmth.
Dong Bin asked with a mouth shape: "Is it the one you have seen?" ”
Edith shook her head, then nodded again, and said in the same shape of her mouth, "It's exactly the same, but it's much smaller." ”
According to Edith's previous description, the transparent spider should have been the size of a mountain in her dream, but the size in front of her was much smaller...... It's just that this body type can still effortlessly add meals to two people one by one.
"Let's go, leave first and then figure out a way." If you think about it with your toes, you can know that it is definitely not something that you can easily solve by overturning the entire Typhon family, and by the way, making Constantine like that of a transparent spider.
"My father ......" Edith's lips moved, and she said these three words with the shape of her mouth, she didn't want to leave her father here anyway.
"Nope." Dong Bin shook his head, judging by Konstantin's current condition, he no longer seems to have any human sense, and rashly taking him away is very likely to cause chaos, once the monster above his head is woken up, everything will be irreparable.
"Father won't hurt me." Edith stepped forward resolutely, stood beside the polar bear's carcass, took a deep breath, and stretched out her hand to her father, who was still drinking blood.
What a hassle...... Dong Bin complained in his heart, but he also knew that he had no way to force a daughter to give up her father. So Dong Bin also stepped forward and blocked half of his body from Edith and Konstantin
Just in case. He didn't even dare to draw his bone sword, for fear that the exposed hostility would be too strong and trigger some surprises.
A threatening sound came from Konstantin's throat, like a hungry wolf guarding food. But soon, he quieted down, sniffing the air and getting closer to Edith, as if there was something in Edith that was so familiar to him that he couldn't be hostile at all.
Dong Bin was startled by this sound, and swept the transparent spider hanging with his afterglow, seeing that it seemed that the spider's chelicera were squirming more violently, he couldn't help but feel half cold in his heart.
Dong Bin looked at Konstantin and didn't seem to be hostile, he hurriedly signaled Edith to hold Konstantin firmly, and he stopped his waist and hugged the girl, and at the same time did not hesitate to convey the signal to Ye Ruoxue through the black hair wrapped around his waist.
The black hair squirmed on its own as if it were alive, and quickly pulled the three of them out of the tower. The tower's doors closed again, the light faded like a tide, and in the inky darkness, the hanging transparent spider stretched its body and fell back into sleep.
……
"He blocked his consciousness in a cruel way, and even if he could touch this blockade, it would cause great mental trauma." Qi Rui retracted his gaze and concluded about Konstantin's condition, "This is a means that can absolutely prevent further pollution, but it is tantamount to killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred." I put him to sleep first, which would help him recover. ”
"Phew, sure enough, Konstantin's decision is still strong enough." Dong Bin breathed a sigh of relief, he should admit that Konstantin's condition was much better than he had guessed at the beginning, "I thought his soul had been swallowed by that transparent spider at first......"
"Father......" Konstantin slept like a baby in his daughter's arms, but his body was still stained with blood from the polar bear, and Edith looked at her sleeping father, still worried.
"It's worse than we thought." Ye Ruoxue frowned, "In fact, the safest way at the moment is to leave immediately, and then find a way to get a boatload of explosives to blow up this place completely." However, it is clear to me that this is not going to be adopted. ”
Edith lowered her head, Ye Ruoxue was right, it was impossible for her to leave like this. The rest of her family was still hanging in a cocoon made of transparent spider webs, and she didn't believe that everyone died like that! Certain! There will definitely be people alive waiting for their help!
She suddenly noticed that an old book that she was familiar with was revealing from the clothes on her father's chest.
A thick black book with a dark metal cover records the history of the Typhon family and all the forbidden knowledge. The knowledge engraved in the astrolabe is both a curse and a power, and this book is also an important medium for the father to exert his power.
She slowly pulled out the book, and then turned it a little bit, turning over the contents she was familiar with, turning over the forbidden knowledge that she had been very interested in but was not allowed to touch, and she turned to the reddest of the book, on the originally blank paper, her father's blood-red handwriting was written with scribbled words.
"Look...... This is the father's last record of that incident! Edith exclaimed softly.
Dong Bin leaned over, he was full of desire to quickly figure out what was going on in this hellish place, and he didn't care at all about this angle, so that he and Edith were almost face to face
Face.
Edith's face flushed slightly, but she didn't dodge, and read out the father's records word by word by the light—
"Edith, Dong Bin, if my final prophecy is not wrong, then you should be reading this record at this moment.
I failed, the Typhon family had been planning for centuries, and countless generations of heads of the family had gained experience at the expense of their own madness...... It's all ruined by my hands, on my blind trust in my family.
That family has prepared a seal for centuries, and once opened, we will reap at least a hundred years of peace, which is enough time for us to cut off the influence of the astrolabe on our bloodline and gain true freedom, which is the real purpose of relocating the entire family members to the City of Stars at all costs.
However, I didn't expect that within the family, there were already some people who were normal on the surface and became puppets of the evil spirits that lived in the astrolabe. They sabotaged the ritual at the last minute, and the ritual that was supposed to be used for lockdown summoned the evil spirit to the human world in advance.
This can't be blamed on those people, after all, the reason why they are completely polluted is because there has always been a spiritual hint in their spiritual world, a mental steel seal that has not yet been triggered, which invisibly weakens their spiritual resistance ability. That hidden hint is 'absolute loyalty to the Lantern Shadow family'.
The Shadow Family, I don't know when they planted this ideological seal, but it doesn't matter...... I regret that I have always underestimated them. The only thing to be thankful for is that under the faint perception warning in my heart, I arranged for you and my daughter to go out in advance, so that you could survive the next catastrophe, and also left the last glimmer of hope for the family.
I sealed my consciousness so that my power would not be bait for that monster. Although the rest of the family has been drawn by the evil spirits, I believe in their vitality, and when you come here, at least half of them will survive, but they will become very weak.
That evil spirit...... No, it's not just the so-called evil spirit, and while I still don't know what it is, it's certainly not just a remnant of the annihilation of a previous civilization.
You have only one chance, and only one chance, to kill it before it becomes irreversible. It is still absorbing the strength of its family members and it will take a long time to reach maturity.
Before it matures and molts, it sleeps for a long time, which is its most vulnerable moment. Yes, it's still strong, if not so powerful that it's almost invincible, but it's really the only chance. Before it matures, it is just a living organism that dies after being mortally wounded, but when it actually molts and matures, it is a god.
Remember, it is still fragile until it is fully mature and molts. If it hasn't molted when you come here, then this is your only chance...... Good luck. ”
After reading the last word seriously, Edith slowly put down the book, raised her head and looked at Dong Bin with wide eyes.
Dong Bin exhaled a mouthful of white mist, sat down directly on the ground, and looked at Konstantin, who was still asleep, a little helpless: "This old friend of mine, although I am here to repay your favor this time...... But that's too much of an exaggeration, isn't it? You're asking me to go...... Kill a god? ”
