Chapter 348: Strange World
In a trance, Fang Jin seemed to see a colorful passage, carrying a large number of souls shuttling through the boundless darkness.
"What is this place?"
Fang Jin opened his eyes and looked around.
The gray sky seemed to be covered with a veil, and the dark green sun illuminated the whole world in a strange color, and there was not a single plant around the sight, not even a stone, only the yellow sand with no end in sight.
An extremely oppressive feeling came from all directions, and there was a disgusting smell in the air, as if a corpse had been rotting for countless years.
Squatting down, Fang Jin grabbed a handful of sand with his hand, squirming, not wanting to, countless black insects the size of pinpoints suddenly appeared under the sand.
The insects hid themselves in the sand, and after being caught by Fang Jin, they began to eat Fang Jin's palms with their miniature mouthparts.
"Strange world, strange things."
Fang Jin twisted a bug with his hand, and saw that the body part of this bug was no different from that of a crustacean insect, but the head was the head of a middle-aged human male.
After the insect was twisted up by Fang Jin, the male head suddenly shook continuously, and the corners of the entire mouth grinned behind the root of the ear, revealing Sen Bai's sharp sharp teeth.
"Squeak...!"
A sharp sound came from inside the worm's mouth, and then, including where Fang Jin stood, the entire sea of sand began to roll.
"Bang"
A large number of jet-black fountains like water sprayed out of the sea of sand, and then rushed to the square quickly.
Fang Jin could clearly see that those so-called water currents were actually composed of countless black insects, just like desert marching ants, and everywhere they passed, even those sand and stones were eaten again.
Fang Jin was naturally not afraid of this kind of little thing, he stretched out his hand and waved, and suddenly, based on the place where he was standing, dozens of kilometers around him were directly frozen into ice and snow, and the hot temperature instantly dropped below freezing.
Those black bugs couldn't escape, and they became amber-like beings in an instant.
After pinching the insect in his hand to death, Fang further stepped into the sky, looked into the distance, and saw that thousands of miles away, there was a city standing between two pitch-black mountains.
The city looks a little dilapidated, but most of the buildings are still intact, but in terms of weathering, they are at least a thousand years old.
Seeing this city, Fang Jin naturally wouldn't ignore it, until now he didn't know what kind of world this was, just go over and take a look, it would be better if there was someone.
In a few steps, Fang Jin teleported above the city, and then landed.
However, after seeing the inside of the city, Fang Jin didn't have much hope of meeting humans, because from the outside, most of the buildings were intact, but when he came inside, he could see that this place had actually been abandoned for a long time.
Most of the wooden buildings are already decaying, only many of the stone buildings are still intact, and the whole city is covered with a lot of wind and sand.
Although no one in the city made Fang Jin a little disappointed, he still walked around the city for a while, the world looked extremely strange, and every piece of information was extremely important to him now.
After a general inspection, Fang Jin came to the front of a palace in the center of the city, the city has decayed too much, and many things can't be seen at all, but Fang Jin still found some clues, that is, some of the facilities and reliefs in the city are a bit like the ancient times of Huaguo, but some are specious.
Generally speaking, it is more like the architectural style of some ancient Western Regions peoples, most of these ethnic groups have their own culture, but they are extremely worshipful of ancient China, so they will try their best to imitate everything in China all their lives, and then integrate with the culture of their own country to form this unique style.
When he was inspecting just now, Fang Jin found a temple that was relatively well preserved, but it was empty, only some reliefs of figures were blurred on the wall, Fang Jin looked at it for a while and found that most of them were painted with some things about the sacrifice.
For example, the sacrifice of some living people to a kind of monster with a snake head and a human body, and the sacrifice of some virgins to a kind of floating giant eyeball, anyway, the whole presents a strange feeling.
It was as if everyone inside was wearing a mask, and they all had stiff smiles from beginning to end, even the sacrifices.
But what made Fang Jin most strange was that there was no place on the entire mural that showed the worship of the gods, and the sacrifices were always those monsters, but the gods were nowhere to be seen.
What makes Fang Jin even more strange is that those monsters will begin to fall asleep after enjoying the human sacrifice, and at this time, those humans will also directly cramp and peel the skin of these monsters, and then throw them all into a huge black hole, the giant hole seems to make some noise, and those humans will put their hands on their ears and start listening after throwing the monster corpses.
After listening to it, he will cut off his ears and throw them into a huge hole.
Could it be that this giant cave is the god of the city's faith? Or do the gods dwell in the cavern? Fang Jin didn't know, but he didn't bother with it, after looking at the mural, he searched again, and walked out of the temple without finding anything.
After coming out of the temple, Fang Jin came to the center of the city, that is, in front of the largest building in the city.
This building is an ancient Huaguo-style palace, although it is not very large, but it is also extremely exquisite, the whole is not damaged, and some reliefs and decorations are also well preserved.
Fang Jin looked at it for a moment, then walked up the steps with his feet up, and then pushed open the gate of the palace.
"Whoa." A puff of dust fell.
Fang Jin waved his hand and walked into this place, which probably no one had visited for thousands of years.
This is a large hall, almost 1,300 square meters in size, and the four corners of the main hall stand four bare red lacquered pillars.
Much of the red paint on the pillars had fallen off, revealing the patina inside.
In addition to the four pillars in the main hall, all that remained were bronze statues of snakeheads and human figures, each holding a black candlestick in their hands.
There were still some white candles left in the candlestick, Fang Jin stepped forward to take a look, and found that these candles should be made of animal fat, and a lot of spices were added to them.
The inside of the hall is extremely quiet, and when Fang Jin is outside, he can occasionally hear some wind, but after entering the hall, it is as if all the sounds have been absorbed, and it is quiet and a little dead.
