Chapter 556: Sleeping Dream (Part II)
In the secluded undersea dead city, time seems to be frozen forever at this moment.
The 100-meter-wide river surface is like a smooth mirror, without a trace of ripples, and it is filled with river water or seawater, but it is crystal clear. When the water is clear, there are no fish, so you can clearly see that the bottom of the extremely deep river channel is covered with gray-white long stone boxes, which look like coffins.
It's more like a cemetery than a river.
"You say, 'In these stones...... Packed or not? Mu Shi looked at the wide channel that surrounded the tall tower in the center, trying to estimate the approximate number of sarcophagi.
Beiye also came back to his senses, and smiled casually when he heard the words, "Open it and take a look, you won't know." ”
"It's not good...... Mu Shi frowned and disagreed because of the feelings of the dead in his previous life, and for some reason, Mu Shi vaguely felt that he would see bad things when he opened these sarcophagus.
Bei Ye glanced at Mu Shi with a strange expression, and after a moment of silence, he said freely, "It's all up to you." ”
Mu Shi nodded, forcing himself to take his gaze away from the river and look at the huge tower in the very center. The tower is really tall, and although it is at the bottom of the sea, it can also be described as towering into the sky.
The whole tower is made of black stone, which is very abrupt in this light-colored city, which shows that its status is very special. It stands to reason that the central area of a city is the highest level of institutions, such as the city lord's mansion, the imperial palace, etc., and this kind of thing seems to be tacit, and it will not change much due to different civilizations.
So what is this tower?
Mu Shi thought for a while, seeing that the brightness around him was getting lower and lower, and said in a low voice, "I always feel that something is going to happen, and it's not good to stay in this open place." ”
"Hmm-" Beiye replied, muttering, "You mean to find a place to hide and observe first." ”
"Well, and I don't think any of these houses can be entered, let's go to that tower." Mu Shi had a strong intuition that the weird tower was the safest place.
"Okay." Bei Ye agreed to Mu Shi's proposal without hesitation, even if Mu Shi didn't say it, he planned to hide first to see the situation. The dimmering light and the sudden discovery of a river sarcophagus made Beiye feel something.
Standing at the head of the bridge for a while, Mu Shi and Beiye glanced at each other, and stepped on the long bridge one after the other. This time, the north night is cut off in the back, and if there is a sudden change in the river, the one behind is the most important.
The whole sea area is getting darker and darker, as if night is falling, swallowing up the surrounding scene little by little.
Mu Shi stepped on the stone bridge unhurriedly, looking at the sarcophagus at the bottom of the river that was clearly displayed in the exposed river on both sides, and his breath was unconsciously held, as if he was afraid of disturbing the unknown things sleeping in the sarcophagus.
Does Gonghua know what the world has become? Or is he just gambling?
Mu Shi thought about it and couldn't help but sigh.
But as soon as the sigh came out, he was covered by Beiye.
"Huh?" Mu Shi was startled, blinked his eyes and whimpered in a low voice, looking up at Beiye behind him.
"Shhhhh Bei Ye covered Mu Shi's lips with one hand, wrapped his other arm around Mu Shi's body and brought it into his arms, bowed his head and whispered a reminder in Mu Shi's ear.
Mu Shi blinked, calmed down, held his breath and listened carefully.
"Bang Bang Bang " is a very faint sound of water, and if you listen closely, you will find that it is coming from under your feet. No, it's from the river.
Mu Shi took a breath softly, and two words popped up in his mind: corpse.
At the same time, the entire sea has completely darkened, just like the black ocean before. But to Mu Shi's shock, the city did not fall into darkness!
The surrounding houses are lit up! At the door, on both sides of the street, the city seems to come to life.
"It's too late." Beiye said in a deep voice, and the black element swept out, quickly wrapping himself and Mu Shi, forming a special hidden enchantment, erasing the figures of Mu Shi and Beiye in place.
As soon as the barrier appeared, the entire city moved.
"Boom-" A long ancient bell rang from the top of the tower, and the sound wave spread rapidly, causing ripples after hitting the barrier, startling the mermaid monster that had been wandering close to the barrier to quickly leave. This bell sounded like a signal, and the mermaid stopped monitoring Mu Shi and Beiye, and walked away without looking back.
Mu Shi, who noticed this, silently pulled down Beiye's hand, always feeling a little trapped.
The top of the Black Tower is hard to see to the naked eye, since the bell rang, a colored streamer flowed down from the top in a circular shape, quickly set down, where it passed, the black was covered with color, and the whole Black Tower became a brilliant color.
Looking at this rather familiar streamer, Mu Shi couldn't help but clench his hands, it seems that this city is left by the Lu Shi clan. They weren't in the wrong place.
A strange fragrance emanated from the darkness, seemingly activated by the colored light. The aroma is centered on the Black Tower and slowly wafts towards the surroundings.
Immediately after, something seemed to be awakened by the aroma in the sarcophagus, and a faint phantus figure emerged from it, drifting out of the river leisurely, and when it came to the ground, it was already clearly visible as an illusory human form.
One by one, ghostly figures came ashore and staggered into the city in search of their respective houses. They seemed to have just woken up, and the nearest figure was basically walking against the stone bridge, and Mu Shi could see it clearly.
The figure is still a black and vague figure in the river, and when it comes into contact with the air, or the aroma, it fades away from the monotonous black, revealing a different color.
These ghosts are not the same, there are men and women, old and young, and when they enter the city, they seem to come to life, talking and laughing together, and the various architectural functions also come into operation, and the original lifeless city is back in operation.
Mu Shi looked at the northern night and didn't dare to speak, so he had to communicate with his spiritual power, "This city seems to have come to life." ”
Beiye looked at the fragrance that was cut off by his own barrier, and touched his chin thoughtfully.
"What did you find?" Mu Shi saw that Beiye's eyes were empty, and he couldn't help but ask.
"Don't you feel familiar?" Beiye raised his hand and pointed to the tower.
"Do you mean this tower, or something else?" Mu Shi frowned, indeed she had an indescribable sense of familiarity, if she was allowed to get out of the enchantment and sense it, maybe there would be a conclusion. But in this situation, she didn't dare to take risks.
"Everything that's happening right in front of you." A gleam flashed in Beiye's eyes, and he maintained the barrier and walked towards the Black Tower, "Maybe the answer is inside." ”
"Wait for me?" Mu Shi hurriedly followed, and as he walked, he couldn't help but look back at the increasingly lively city, those illusory ghost-like figures made the city look like a ghost town.
"Ghost town?!" Mu Shi's body shook, and finally found the place she had always felt strange. That's right, isn't this situation in front of you a ghost town? Once the source is found, all speculation goes smoothly. The more Mu Shi thought about it, the more panicked he felt, and he couldn't help but rub his arms.
"What's wrong?" Beiye noticed Mu Shi's reaction and asked with concern.
"It's okay......" Mu Shi looked a little dazed, shook his head and replied.
"Don't think about it, it's their choice." Beiye slowed down and said softly.
"Hmm......" Mu Shi responded, catching up with Beiye and walking side by side, the lively world behind him was getting farther and farther away.
In a short time, they made it to the tower. But after going around the tower, no entrance was found. When I got closer, I realized that this black tower was closed, like a black pillar straight here.
"I'll try." Mu Shi remembered how they had fallen in, and said confidently.
"Okay." Beiye couldn't help but let go of his body. Mu Shi rubbed the ring on his left hand, and carefully pressed his hand on the tower, which was very cold and cold, and he couldn't tell what it was.
After waiting quietly for a moment, Mu Shi withdrew his hand stupidly, "It seems that it is not a master key." ”
"Huh." Beiye let out a short laugh and reached out to rub Mu Shi's hair, "Let me come." ”
"You?" Mu Shi blinked, although he was very suspicious, but he still gave way and made a gesture of please. Bei Ye stretched out his hand and swiped it in his palm, and blood beads immediately came out.
"You?" Mu Shi frowned, wanted to reprimand but held back. Bei Ye is not a person who will easily hurt himself, and he may have his own ideas when he does this.
Beiye Chao Mu hooked his lips, and then pressed his bleeding palm on the black tower.
The blood was immediately absorbed by the tower, and Beiye suddenly grabbed Mu Shi's arm. Mu Shi was caught off guard, and let out a low snort, and in the next second, a huge suction force came, swallowing the two of them with the enchantment.
The figure on the sixth floor near the stone bridge seemed to hear Mu Shi's brief exclamation, and looked back suspiciously, but there was nothing around his black tower, so he had to continue their business.
Besides, Mu Shi was here, and after being sucked in, he fell on the hard floor with a pop, and Mu Shi felt that his buttocks were about to become four-petaled.
After rubbing his buttocks and slowing down, Mu Shi realized that the northern night was gone, and they seemed to be forcibly separated the moment they came in.
"Damn it." Mu Shi scolded in a low voice, slowly got up and looked around, the surroundings were pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.
"North night? Are you there? Mu Shi tentatively shouted softly, but there was no response from Beiye. Mu Shi rubbed her forehead, the worst happened, she and Beiye were forcibly separated.
It's not that she's worried that Beiye will be in danger, Beiya is stronger than herself, and if she encounters danger, she will be more dangerous. But separating in this unknown situation is not a good thing for anyone.
