Chapter Twenty-Three: The Rust-Colored Star
"Is this a creature of the past or something of the afterlife?" Situ looked at me intently, hoping to get an answer from me.
Judging from his performance, what this mark represents, it is estimated that he knows a little bit, even if he doesn't know the connection with the Black Robe King, he must know that this is some kind of totem of the old religion.
"It should be hereafter." I whispered, remembering the old creatures I'd met, and the answer became affirmative.
No matter what kind of old creatures it is, even if it is the lowest level of Beigong, its ability is not something that ordinary future generations can resist, at least it can be invulnerable, right?
Don't dare to say anything else, let people hit a few cannonballs, I don't think there should be any big deal in Beigong, I have fought with it, and I am somewhat impressed by its physical fitness.......
"It's too weak." I whispered, "How could such a weak creature be those monsters of the old days. ”
"And what do you think is going on?" Situ looked at me confused: "That pattern should be related to the old religion, right?" I remember seeing it before. ”
"Relevant." I nodded, but I didn't hide it from him, and then explained: "This is the magic seal of the black-robed king, and you can also understand it as the totem of the black-robed king......."
As I spoke, I flipped through the photos, hoping to find more details from these limited clues.
The black-robed king's magic seal that appeared on the octopus didn't look like it was imprinted by someone, but it looked like it grew out of the flesh...... That kind of natural ingraining only makes me look confused.
"Is there anything else unusual about the place where this octopus appears?" I asked.
Situ snorted and said a little.
"There's something wrong with the color of the water, it's like it's been polluted by something, it's a little darker." Situ described it to me, and his tone was a little nervous: "But our people went into the water to look, and they didn't find anything else, but these blackening of the sea water have not disappeared." ”
According to Situ, the blackened waters were not confined to one place, but were scattered, scattered everywhere, suspended in the sea like smoke.......
After listening to his description, I also probably figured out the situation.
Better than the worst, but also worse than I thought.
In my opinion, none of this has anything to do with the old religion, only with the black-robed king.
"The Black Robe King is a representative of darkness, but it is also a monster born in the ocean, in the memory of the Immortal King, it has many inexplicable connections with the sea, and every time it appears, it almost always appears on the surface of the sea."
I lit a cigarette and leaned back in my chair to talk to the crowd.
"It is a god that descends on the sea with its feet on the afterglow of the sun, and every time it appears, it will bring a chance to the creatures of the sea......."
"The breath of its body will travel along the sea, and the closer it is to it, the purer these breaths will be, and the more benefits it will bring to them after being absorbed by the creatures in the ocean."
As soon as I finished speaking, I pointed my finger at the giant octopus in the photo.
"It should be a beneficiary."
"What do you mean....... The black-robed king is going to appear in that sea? Situ asked cautiously.
"Impossible." I smiled and said, "If it wants to appear in the afterlife, then it must come through the star gate of Kunlun Mountain, and the appearance of these things is just an omen, just like what those ancient people in the old days saw and heard......."
Whenever the Black Robe King appears, before it, its aura will travel along the sea, and it will appear before the Black Robe King's body.
"Its body is still above the starry sky, so the diffusion of its body's breath can be ruled out, and it can only be said that these breaths have always existed in the sea, but the black-robed king is about to pass through the stargate......." I shrugged my shoulders, my expression was very helpless: "Those breaths have sensed the movements of the black-robed king, aren't they starting to be active." ”
Seeing that Situ was still worried, I couldn't help laughing and handed him a cigarette.
"Don't worry, there are not many of these remnants of the afterlife, and there must be a few monsters that can be created, and the abilities of these monsters are limited, if you want to clean them up, it shouldn't be too difficult."
As soon as the words fell, I thought about it and instructed again.
"Use hot weapons as much as possible, hot weapons are useless and think about anything else, you really can't deal with it, then find a way to drag them and wait until we finish our business."
Situ sighed and said that I hope this monster will not come out again.
I can tell that Situ is much more nervous than us, to be precise, since I talked to them about the ancient gods yesterday, Situ's nerves should be tense.
Before that, he had no idea that the situation would be so bad.
The current situation is really bad, to be honest, we can write some suicide notes at this time in case of emergency, so ...... It's strange that a person like Situ who is worried about the country and the people can not be nervous.
After lunch, a group of us didn't have the desire to go out for a walk, to be precise, we didn't want to do anything, we all sat in the living room and chatted with melon seeds.
In this case, time flies, and it feels like we have to have dinner before we can talk for a while.
"It's so hot today......."
The old man sat on the pony outside the gate, fanning himself with a big fan, wiping the hot sweat on his head, and chatting with us without a word.
"It's a little stuffy." As I spoke, I walked over and sat by the door with the old man, looking boredly at the passers-by: "The weather is getting very fast, it's not like this at noon, I don't know if it's going to rain........"
"I guess so." The old man smiled, raised his finger and pointed to the black oppressive sky: "The clouds are so thick, nine times out of ten, it will be windy and rainy." ”
I followed the old man's point and looked up.
The sky was dark and oppressive, and the clouds were a little red, as if it was really going to rain, and in addition to the sultry, you could feel the humidity in the air.
"I'll go upstairs and get a bottle of wine, you watch the time to come over and eat, don't let everyone wait for you."
"Got it."
When the old man returned to the house, I didn't mean to get up, and sat lazily on the maza in a daze.
Really, this is more life-threatening than the sun, and the hot and humid moisture is like something that actually exists, pressing down on my body, and it doesn't intend to get me up at all.
I didn't bother to afford it, I was sweating all over my body, and I couldn't do it.
Sitting on the pony, I lit a cigarette and smoked lazily against the door of the store, when I was bored, I had nothing to do, and from time to time I would raise my head to look at the sky, praying in my heart, hoping that it would soon rain a lot, even if it was only for a minute, and it would be good to cool us down......
As I was holding my hair in a daze, the rain clouds in the sky began to churn, and it seemed that it was really going to rain, and gradually the wind was blowing.
I felt the most direct feeling when I sat outside the store, blowing that kind of wind was much more comfortable than an electric fan, and it was blowing cold from head to toe, which was not an ordinary feeling.
But at this time, I noticed that the rain clouds in the sky began to spread, and they were scattered in all directions, and it didn't look like they were blown away by the wind.......
The rain clouds that had just gathered were just a big mass, and they disappeared in about ten seconds.
I couldn't help but be a little surprised to see this strange situation.
But before I could think about it, after the rain clouds dispersed, the sky above the clouds also came into my eyes again, but there were still no stars to be seen, only the bright moon still hung high in the sky.......
But soon I noticed that to the left of the moon, near the edge of the moon, there was a slightly reddish star coming out.
That's right, it was drilled, and it wasn't there before, but it just showed its head without warning, and the brightness increased accordingly.......
Wrong.
It seems that not only the brightness, but also the volume is slowly increasing.......
To be precise, it is getting closer and closer to the earth....... At least that's what I look like.......
At the same time as it changed, I involuntarily stood up, looking at the rust-colored star in the sky, my body trembled slightly, and the fear that had been suppressed by me in my eyes slowly resurfaced.
"Dead ...... Death Omen?? ”
