Chapter 17: A Distant Movement
To be honest, I was terrified.
That kind of extremely terrifying existence, the aura they exude, is a fear that no life can bear.
The ancient qi in my body was excited, as if I had discovered a long-lost enemy, and it was surging madly in my body, as if it would rush out of my body in the next second and go straight to the deep sky and star sea to meet the enemy.
But compared to it, all I could feel was fear.
In the final analysis, I am just an ordinary descendant, even if my life level is constantly jumping, I have not jumped beyond the limits of human beings after all.
The fear of these old creatures has long been imprinted in the genes of human beings, and there is only one response we can make when facing these strange creatures that can annihilate and die, fear.
I've figured it out now.
Those who go mad because they come into contact with these creatures are not because their minds are too weak, but because this indescribable fear is the natural enemy of humanity, and no one can resist it, including me.
In the face of this fear, everyone can only tremble like prey.
Even if it is thousands of miles away from the sea of stars, under the eternal starry sky, those breaths from ancient creatures, even afterimages, or a look of the eyes, can instantly crush human reason.
He Xigong is crazy, at least most of the madness, but at this time I envy him.
It's not that I want to understand any big reason and envy it, but on the way back, I have a very clear voice in my head.
It's talking to me.
It's bewitching me.
There is only one thing it wants to do, which is to make me lose my mind like He Xigong and completely plunge myself into madness.
"Humans can go crazy...... Able to lose all their sanity....... Ability to put fear behind you....... This is the greatest mercy of God....... It is the grace of those ancient beings to posterity......."
When it says this, I don't know if it's because I'm running too fast or because I'm hallucinating.
The familiar sights around me were gone, and my position seemed to be not in the city, but in a deep space full of stars.
It was as if I had traveled from the earth to the universe in an instant, and although the sea of stars was incomparably bright, the ubiquitous darkness was more "dazzling" than the colorful stars.
"You claim to be the highest in the pyramid of life....... It is the primate of all things....... It is the most intelligent and wonderful creature of all time....... But have you ever seen the waters of the source of the river of time....... Have you ever seen the deepest darkness in the deep sky and the sea of stars......."
That voice kept ringing in my head, as if it had made up its mind to drive me completely crazy, and the strange tone of voice like chanting mantras constantly tormented my nerves.
My physical body must have been damaged, but this damage seems to have come from the spirit.
That's right.
I couldn't have imagined that mental damage could spread to the body.
Holes appeared on the flesh that were transparent at both ends, blood mixed with internal organs, constantly gushing out of the holes, and the vitality was passing rapidly, but the ancient qi stood up at this time, replacing the flesh body Gu, and doing his best to help me repair my body.
"If you've seen death face death....... If you've seen this vast universe open its jaws to you........ If you've ever seen an ancient existence like ours........ You will never be freed...... You will be with us in the past...... Today in ...... Forever! ”
After saying this, the voice fell silent, and let me run in the deep sky and the sea of stars, and it was just hiding in a place I couldn't see, watching my every move with great interest.
I'm not an opponent in front of it, it's hard to even call the enemy, I'm just a prey....... Or even playthings.
I can't see the way back, there is still an endless galaxy in front of me, and the feeling of loneliness that is extremely beautiful is sweeping towards me like a tsunami.......
The loss of my sanity, the thought of falling into madness and ending there, was tearing at me in my brain.
In the process, I heard a sound in the vacuum of the universe.
The first strange sound seemed to be the sound of drums....... It was as if someone was beating a huge drum that I couldn't see, and the sound was very far away from me, but every time I struck, the stars seemed to tremble and tremble violently.
And after the drums, there is a strange sound of sharp distortions, like the sound of a flute, but more sharp than that, like something substantial, that drills through your ears and into your head.
It's not a monster sound, and it's not a weird sound that can occur naturally....... There are probably a lot of creatures playing music using musical instruments.......
That weird and crazy tune, a rhythm that can forcibly deprive people of reason.......
I'm probably crazy.
Because I found myself running and seeing many things that I had never seen before.
It was surrounded by a nebula, and an object resembling a mountain peak was suspended in it.
If you look closely, it is not so much a mountain peak as a simple cave, the whole body is made of black rock, and the whole appearance has the outline of a mountain peak, but it is so twisted and deformed that it is extremely uncomfortable to look at.
I'm supposed to be close to it, so that feeling of oppression....... It was just enough to crush me to death.
How big is this cavern-like object?
It's true...... After observing from far to near....... I found it to be a separate being....... It's an object the size of a planet.......
There was no end in sight just by the entrance to the cave, and my position was on the side of the entrance, and when I looked up, I couldn't see the top of the entrance at all.
I don't know what is hidden in this cave, but my intuition tells me that it is a more terrifying existence than the Black Robe King, because I feel the breath of the Black Robe King here......
Its breath was trembling, and it was not far away, and it didn't even dare to move, trembling, as if it wanted to please the existence in the cave, and the strange feeling was very real.
At this time, my brain also cleared up a little, and I looked left and right, and saw that there were hundreds of monsters entrenched around this cave.
They are all peculiar-looking, with roughly humanoid silhouettes, but they have webbed hands and feet, and three pairs of bat-like wings grow on their backs.
The bodies of each monster were huge, the big ones were three or four hundred meters tall, and the small ones were more than a hundred meters tall.
As if they didn't notice me, they were all looking out for their own things, doing their own thing.
The sounds I heard before were made by them.
That's right...... That's the one who plays that weird music.......
Half of the monsters were beating the giant drums nearly 100 meters high, and those drums seemed to be living creatures, definitely not dead things, and I could feel the life fluctuations hidden in those giant drums.
Those strange giant drums looked like drums made up of clumps of blood-red rotten flesh...... It doesn't seem to be their bodies that are being beaten, it's their lives that are being beaten!
The other half of the monsters, meanwhile, crouched cross-legged, with a twisted flute in their hands, played crazy tunes one after another in what seemed to be made of bones.
They were playing for no one else, but for the dark creature that lurked in the cavern.
As I looked up into the cavern, a high-pitched, twisted roar came straight from the deepest part of the cavern, a maddening sound that I had heard for the first time in my life, and I hoped it would be the last.
"Sanity....... It is a curse that we have given you....... Crazy....... is the freedom you deserve......."
"Banishing Reason....... Let yourself embrace the madness....... Thou descendant of the ancients....... You will also be liberated! ”
When the voice said this, my eyes darkened, and with the torment of a splitting headache, I couldn't help but crouch down, my hands tightly covering my head.
I don't know how long it will have been since I stopped feeling the pain.
When I opened my eyes, I was still outside the factory, and there were still corpses everywhere in the factory behind me, and everything before should have been my hallucination.
When I looked up at the sky, I couldn't find the strange star, and the sky was unconsciously covered in a black fog.......
At this moment, Qibao and Situ ran out of the woods not far away, and when they saw me, they seemed to be relieved.
I glanced at them and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?" ”
"Damn, seeing that you haven't come back for a long time, can we not come and take a look?" Qibao gave me a blank look: "It's almost dawn, how can you say we don't worry about you?" ”
As soon as I heard this, I was instantly stunned.
"It's almost dawn??"
