Chapter 10 Chapter 2 Caves
North of the Atlantic Ocean, off the southern coast of the island of Atlantis
The internal structure of the cave entered by Zhang Chen and the four people is very different from that of ordinary caves, it seems that because of the reason that they have been immersed in the sea for a long time, the ground and walls of the cave are covered with an extremely viscous solution layer, and the internal environment is extremely humid, and the size of the stalactites inside is directly connected to the ground from the top, and some are even as thick as tree trunks.
When everyone stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inside, the cave did not extend upwards to reach the island floor, so it seemed that there was a large space inside the cave.
"There is naturally a possibility that there is a faceless eyeliner in this place, and everyone will cover their body breath, Tengu, you lead the way and let us leave this cave first."
At this time, the green ghost no longer maintains the body of the demon monk, and he has changed from the ordinary appearance of a male taxi driver in his early thirties who once met Zhang Chen, plus he is wearing a very casual casual clothes, which looks like an ordinary person.
As for the tengu's body, it is similar to the mixed blood of blacks and whites, with a strong body, a beard that makes the whole person look domineering, and a tengu born in a demon at the same time, his pupils are pure black.
Then the four of them used their own means, and Yu Ming gave people the feeling of ordinary plants and plants, and there was no lack of moss in the cave, and Yu Ming was the same as the feeling brought by these green plants.
Zhang Chen looked at the tengu with surprised eyes, the other party was less than five meters away from him, but the aura of his body was completely converging and even turned into a form of a dead corpse, and his body exuded a very faint aura of ghosts, like a resentful soul that had just died.
Although Zhang Chen himself maintained the form of a prison envoy, he simply completely covered his own aura when he comprehended the 'nothingness', and the whole human form seemed to be mixed with the humid air in the cave.
The green ghost only needs to slow down the flow of time around him and be in a different dimension from the outside world.
Tengu walks at the front. There didn't seem to be any biological induction in the cavern, and after half an hour of walking, the group arrived at a crossing, which led to the upper and lower branches. Theoretically, it would have been a good choice to walk up, but the tengu didn't hesitate to go down the cave.
Zhang Chen didn't have any objections, because he still believed in the green ghost very much, so he followed the tengu and continued to walk towards the bottom of the cave.
"Wait a minute, some creatures are down there." Tengu raised his palm to signal everyone behind him to stop.
Then the tengu's mouth opened. From within, a tormented soul crawled out of its body, bound in chains and with its eyes gouged out, and wandered down the cavern downstream.
Three minutes passed, and Tengu frowned slightly.
"Good news, bad news. The good news is that this place is not under the control of Nyarrathotep, and the bad news is that you'll have to deal with a bunch of troublesome old guys to get back to the road from here. ”
"Troublesome old fellow?" It's rare for a blue ghost to hear such a ranking from the mouth of a tengu.
"This land is a prehistoric civilization, and there is probably a guy about my age down there. At that time, I am afraid that I will have to pay a little toll to the other party and make some troublesome negotiations. You two prison envoys will stay here for the time being and wait, and leave the negotiation to me and the green ghosts. ”
It can be seen from Tengu's words. The guy hiding in the depths of the cave seems to have some strength.
"No, you two come along."
The green ghost's refutation of the tengu did not have any objection, and the current formation was changed to the tengu green ghost in the front, and Zhang Chen Yuming in the back. The downward passage slowly became steep and winding, and the ground was very slippery, and Zhang Chen and Yuming both grew some raised spikes on their feet to help fix them.
"Harasha......!"
A soft and continuous female voice filled Zhang Chen's mind, and it could not be dissipated.
"Wait a minute, remove the strange thoughts from your heart. Quietly listen to the voice in your head. The other party is checking to see if there is any mess in your body, and you don't want me to cause any commotion. "Tengu seems to have a certain level of understanding of the creatures that exist here. And to understand this particular language that reverberates in my head.
For Zhang Chen, he does not have any chaotic emotions, and he often goes deep into a state of concentration and perceives his nothingness, and he can enter an ethereal state at any time.
And the only thing Zhang Chen cares about is Yu Ming, this person feels a sense of potential evil to himself. And in Yu Ming's body, Zhang Chen has two things that he doesn't understand. First, how did Yu Ming know the identities of the green ghost and the tengu. Second, why did Yu Ming not hesitate to be accused of betraying the prison envoy and blend into the team of the three of them.
Soon, the voice in their heads disappeared, and the four of them continued on their way. The downward passage in front of them finally extended vertically downward, and with the green ghost taking the lead, the four of them jumped into a small cave room that shone with blue light and shadow.
The blue light in the room comes from a special fish in the two halves of the pool, the whole body is transparent, and the internal organs shine with a blue light to illuminate the room, and at the same time, there is a door made of liquid water in front of everyone, and the back leads to nowhere else.
"I didn't expect that there was really a prehistoric civilization hidden in the world." The green ghost couldn't help but be a little surprised when he looked at all this.
"The island was probably a remnant of that war, and then swallowed up by the sea, and the indigenous people who stayed on the island were spared and stayed here until Nayarathotep recreated the entire island." The tengu was slowly coming.
"And the people here, if I'm guessing correctly, are the heirs of Cthulhu."
For this name, even the green ghost is not familiar with it, let alone Zhang Chen.
"Menhataba...... (Unknown Language)" As soon as Tengu's words ended, a series of unknown languages came around the room, and Tengu looked at Zhang Chen with puzzled eyes.
"Tengu, what did he say?" The green ghost asked.
"The other party asked Zhang Chen to enter the inner room, and we waited here for a while."
"Is it dangerous?" The green ghost asked.
"Summoning Zhang Chen alone is impossible to analyze the degree of danger from words, but if we don't act according to the other party's attitude, the entire clan will be rooted here for 10,000 years, and it will definitely be a fierce battle. Although it is not too much of a problem for the two of us to solve them, the faceless side still has to consider that if they are attacked from the back, their lives will be in danger. ”
"It's okay, let me go." After Tengu's remarks, Zhang Chen took the initiative to step forward.
"If there is any danger, don't force yourself."
After the green ghost admonished, Zhang Chen had already come to the door of the room made of liquid water, because Zhang Chen was summoned, the water gate intervened in Zhang Chen's approach, and opened the small door for Zhang Chen to pass through.
"Descendants of Cthulhu? I don't know what I was summoned for. If anything goes wrong, delay them and wait until the Blue Oni seniors arrive to kill them all. ”
Zhang Chen took the initiative to step forward, not only out of consideration of the situation, but also because of trust in his own strength.
Walking out of the room, there was a huge built-in tower-shaped space, with nearly a hundred small rooms on each floor, and Zhang Chen estimated that the total number of ethnic people living here was tens of thousands.
However, what Zhang Chen cared about the most was that in front of him, a huge conch was placed on the central ground of the built-in tower-shaped building. The opening at the lower end of the conch was just the size that an ordinary person could pass through, and there was a hint of blue light shining inside, as if there was some creature living inside the conch and asking Zhang Chen to get closer.
As Zhang Chen advanced, he couldn't help but expand his flesh and blood perception ability to the entire tower-shaped space to avoid being attacked by a sneak attack. At the same time, he also sensed the presence of a very strange-looking humanoid creature in every room here, and seemed to be extremely nervous about the arrival of his unknown species.
However, Zhang Chen could not find out the internal situation of the conch.
When he was about to approach the giant conch in the center, a figure stepped out of the opening at the bottom of the conch.
When he saw the whole of the other party, Zhang Chen couldn't help frowning slightly, the other party didn't look like a strange creature that he perceived, but appeared as a human woman's body, the skin was similar to the fish he had seen before, some were slightly bright, and he could faintly see the turquoise blood flowing in his body.
On the woman's slender body, only a translucent white silk scarf was wrapped around the important parts to cover the important parts, the pupils of the eyes were in the shape of blue rings, and her long hair reached the ground. I'm afraid that it will be a rare stunner in a hundred years in the world.
The other party didn't say anything, but stepped barefoot on the wet and lubricated cave ground and walked towards Zhang Chen.
At a distance of one meter between the two, the woman raised her cold, delicate arm and stretched out her finger to point at Zhang Chen's forehead.
Zhang Chen didn't feel the hostility of the other party and let the woman complete the action.
When the cold fingers touched Zhang Chen's forehead, Zhang Chen understood what the woman was doing, "It turns out that she is ingesting my language." ”
"Hello, thank you for trusting me Outsider."
"Yes, I'm sorry to disturb you, my friend and I just want to get to the surface of the island through you, without any malicious intent, I wonder if you can let us through?"
Zhang Chen tried to negotiate with the other party without detecting the hostility of the other party.
"Do you see what's going on here?" The woman didn't respond to Zhang Chen's question, and she didn't even know if she had really heard what Zhang Chen said, "Our people have been living in the deep sea until they are taken out of the bottom of the sea again by a descendant of the root of all evil. My people's bodies are degrading every day, and nearly half of them have died. ”
The woman's eyes flashed with a slightly sad look, and Zhang Chen probably heard that the descendants of the so-called root of all evil should refer to faceless, and the so-called root of all evil was naturally Azathoth.
And ...... I smell in you the stench of the offspring of the root of all evil! (To be continued......)
