Volume 1 Darkness Rising Chapter 36 Purification
Zhou Chang and the others heard Zhe Nie ask, what would be the reaction to touching the bracelet of the apocalypse with the page of the undead that had been opened in the Book of Apocalypse? Several people glanced at each other, Zhou Chang, who owned the book and bracelet, and Tamar, who had kept it, both shook their heads, indicating that they had not tried.
So, Zhou Chang immediately turned the book to the page of the dead and put the bracelet on it again. Suddenly, the words and patterns on the writing glowed inky blue. However, the light did not emit a destructive light like the light on the bone writing.
However, the pattern engraved on the back of the bracelet suddenly lit up and glowed blood-red.
In the blink of an eye, the blood-red light suddenly went out again.
Just as the blood-red light was gone, there was a sudden 'snort' sound from the ground. Then, the ground began to move up and down like something, and the plant stems and leaves were laid out on a fairly flat ground, raised on one side and concave on the other. It's like an animal in a cloth bag that pushes up the bag and pulls it down.
When everyone was in shock, Zheni suddenly said, "Close the book quickly." ”
Zhou Chang was already stunned in his heart, and when he heard Zhe Nie shouting like this, he only heard a snapping sound and closed the book hard.
As soon as the book was closed, the strange thing that was jumping up and down the ground fell silent in an instant, so quiet that one could mistakenly think that what had just happened had not happened at all.
Everyone looks at me and I look at you, all with surprised expressions. In the end, everyone's eyes fell on this knowledgeable orc who had lived for nearly 10,000 years.
A strange look flashed on Zhenie's face, "I think the reason why Gulvedan called this book "Apocalypse" may be that the book records the origin of various ethnic civilizations on the mainland. Bone writing is a script created and used by the gods, who are also known as the gods of light. The bone script originated from light, so it produces powerful rays of power. And the undead text, naturally originated from darkness and death, there is no darker place than the underground, the undead are also called rotten regenerated creatures, so when the page of the undead is opened, the undead qi that has been corroded underground for a long time begins to revive and shows signs of life. In this way, we saw the strange scene of a big bug churning in the ground. ”
Everyone felt that Zhennie's explanation was reasonable, and they couldn't help but nod thoughtfully.
However, Taizhang felt that Zhennie seemed to be hiding some important information in his words and had not said it, but he couldn't find any clues for a while.
Zhou Chang briefly explained to Zhe Nie how they came here, and then began to discuss how to break the seal on Zhe Nie's body and the chain of pain locked on him.
I have said before that as long as you sprinkle Xuan Poor's tears around Zhennie, you can break the seal, but although the huge Xuan Poor moves slowly and sluggishly, the black liquid that can corrode everything that erupts from his mouth will make anyone who has seen it once shudder.
Zhe Nie seemed to have a countermeasure a long time ago, but he squeezed out a smile, and suddenly said to Zhou Chang: "This unidentified young man has the same aura as that Xuanqiao. The reason why you were able to pass through Xuan Qiao's side safely was mostly due to the undead aura that emanated from his body. ”
Seeing Zhou Chang's puzzled expressions, Zhen Nie explained: "Xuan Qian has lived in this dark and damp underground for tens of thousands of years, because there is very little biological activity here, he has no chance to use his eyes and ears. So after a long time, his eyesight and hearing have deteriorated terribly, and his sight and hearing are less than one-tenth of those of your humans. On the contrary, although Xuan Poor has the body of a demigod, he also needs to consume some strong corrosive qi to maintain his life and great strength. Corrosive gases are the foul odors emitted by the death of organisms and the decay of plants. Smell has no form, so it does not need to be seen with eyes or heard by ears, but can only be obtained by a sensitive sense of smell. As a result, while his eyesight and hearing deteriorated extremely, his sense of smell became unusually sensitive. ”
Zhou Chang has the aura of the undead on his body, which is a fact that everyone knows. Therefore, Zhe Nie told everyone that they relied on the cover of the same undead aura on Zhou Chang's body as Xuan Qian, so that they could pass over unharmed, and no one questioned it.
However, Zhou Chang listened to the meaning of Zhe Nie's words, and seemed to want him to take Xuan Poor's tears. When he thought of the huge and disgusting Xuan Qian, his scalp would be numb, and letting him get close to Xuan Qian was really worse than killing him.
Sure enough, after Zhe Nie said the above words, he proposed to let Zhou Chang, a human being who has the same breath as Xuan Qiao, go to take Xuan Qiao's tears, and also explain his taboo about Xuan Qian.
Zhou Chang would excuse himself and say that his stomach hurt, then he would say that the stench was so bad that he couldn't stand it, then he would say that he was allergic to black liquids, and then he would say that he was afraid of ghosts, and he shook his head desperately, but he refused to go.
After Zhou Chang talked a lot of nonsense, the corners of Zhen Nie's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to smile at Zhou Chang, but the demonic power on the scoundrel's chain of pain suddenly attacked, and the pain made him close his eyes and let out a dull low roar.
After a while, the pain eased slightly, and then he said to Zhou Chang, "Young man, if you don't go, you'll die." Also, without my guidance, you will have to turn back. However, since you have met that scorpion cat, I think the ruthless little banshee of Heni Benfei already knows that you are here. I don't think your friends will come out of here, and you'll encounter a lot of demon soldiers, and your friends won't be able to leave alive. ”
He observed Zhou Chang's expression, saw Zhou Chang frown, and said, "I think you are a very kind young man, can you bear to see your friends die in this dark place?"
His words seem to have a strange magic, which makes people involuntarily fall into the logic of his thinking, and think according to his logic.
Although Zhou Chang was afraid of death, he was also very righteous, and when Zhe Nie said this, he immediately aroused his courage, he patted his chest and said, "Isn't it just to go to Xuan Poor to get a few tears, master, I'll take it." ”
With that, he walked out of the cell.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the cell, Zhou Chang regretted it a little.
At this time, Angelina suddenly chased after her, "Zhou Chang, wait a minute." ”
When Zhou Chang heard Angelina call him, he stopped, turned around and smiled at Angelina, "Miss Angelina, are you okay?"
Angelina nodded, "I want to go with you, and you won't be so scared of two people." ”
It turned out that Angelina saw Zhou Chang's fear from Zhou Chang's trembling back, so she chased him out and wanted to help Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang's heart suddenly warmed, and the courage that had just disappeared gathered back, and he shook his head firmly, "No need, Miss Angelina." You don't have the breath of the undead on your body, I'm afraid it will cause Xuan Qiao's attention. ”
Under Zhou Chang's repeated insistence, Angelina had no choice but to return to the cell. However, her actions moved Zhou Chang to the point of crying.
Zhou Chang silently recited in his heart: "One day in the twenty-thousand-hundred-hundred-and-fifty years of the era, there was once a beautiful and innocent girl who was willing to fight side by side with me, Zhou Chang. I, Zhou Chang, swear to God, I will definitely protect this beautiful and innocent girl, Angelina. ”
While thinking, Zhou Chang quietly came to Xuan Qiao's side.
This Xuan Qian is also really weird, as long as it does not show its eyes and large mouth, his appearance is not at all different from the black rock.
Zhou Chang held his breath and tiptoed to Xuan Qiao's side.
At this time, Xuan Qiang's body suddenly squirmed, and there was a sound of rubbing against the wall.
Zhou Chang thought that Xuan Qian had woken up, and his eyes widened in fright, and his heart was in his throat.
Xuan Qian squirmed for a moment, and then there was no movement.
Zhou Chang's hanging heart calmed down a little. At that moment, suddenly from behind him came the baby-like cry of a big black cat.
At the critical moment, when Zhou Chang heard this voice, a cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and when he was about to turn his head to look, he saw a black object in front of him, and a black object fell on his left shoulder.
Zhou Chang knew that it must be the big black cat, so he cursed in his heart, and slapped the black object with his hand.
Before his hand could reach the big black cat, the big black cat barked again, kicked his foot on his shoulder, jumped on Xuan Qiang's body, and then disappeared into the basement.
Just when the big black cat landed on Xuan Poor's body, Xuan Poor's huge body began to squirm up and down. Soon, Xuan Qiang revealed his milky white eyes and large mouth full of fangs.
Zhou Chang was standing opposite Xuan Poor at this time, and Xuan Poor's eyes blinked, as if he saw Zhou Chang. The body slowly squirmed towards Zhou Chang.
Zhou Chang was so frightened that his heart was about to jump out, thinking of all this caused by the big black cat, he couldn't wait to disembowel the big black cat and roast it.
Zhou Chang's first reaction was to run away, but as soon as he took a step, he thought of coming out of the cell, Angelina's earnest concern stopped again, and said in his heart that if he couldn't break Zhennie's seal, he would also die of poison, so it was better to fight, at least he had an explanation for Miss Angelina. So, he turned his heart sideways, lifted the iron sword in his hand and stabbed it into the eyes of Xuan Poor who crawled over.
Zheni told Zhou Chang that Xuan Qiao, like humans, has fragile eyes, and as long as something touches his eyes, although it will not cause any harm, he will also shed tears to wash the objects that fall into his eyes.
However, Zhou Chang didn't expect that Xuan Qian's eyes were very soft. With a snort, the iron sword actually pierced into Xuan Poor's eyes. A purple-black liquid flowed out of Xuan Qiang's eyes, and flowed down Zhou Chang's iron sword to Zhou Chang's hand.
The purple-black liquid was like boiling hot oil, and as soon as it touched Zhou Chang's skin, it immediately rolled off a layer of skin, and it hurt so much that Zhou Chang threw out the family heirloom iron sword.
At this moment, Xuan Qian suddenly opened his big mouth full of fangs. A pungent stench smoked Zhou Chang's eyes.
Xuan Qian seemed to be really angry, opened his big mouth, and let out a loud roar like a heart-rending heart. The wave of qi that spread in the loud roar shook the entire basement.
Zhou Chang, who was standing nearby, was even more unlucky, his head was buzzing to the ground, and he almost fainted.
Before Zhou Chang could recover, a bunch of fishy black liquid squirted out of Xuan Qiang's mouth.
Zhou Chang's reaction was outdated, and he couldn't dodge, and the liquid that could corrode even the hard walls suddenly splashed Zhou Chang's body. Zhou Chang's heart fell to the bottom, and he only hoped that he would have less pain when he died.
However, surprisingly, after the black liquid poured on Zhou Chang's body, nothing happened except for the slimy and suffocating smell of his body.
At this time, Xuan Qian's huge mouth closed one by one, and suddenly uttered an inexplicable language.
That language is not as peaceful and atmospheric as human language, not like the language of demons and witches full of mystery, nor like the language of elves, which is naturally close to all things, but full of death and unknown.
What's even more strange is that Zhou Chang actually understood Xuan Poor's language, and Xuan Poor was asking him, "Are you a descendant of your master?"
Zhou Chang thought that he had auditory hallucinations, and said tentatively to Xuan Qiang, "This divine beast brother, I am from Lubi Mountain. ”
Before Zhou Chang's words fell, countless slender black tentacles suddenly grew from Xuan Qian's huge body. Those tentacles stretched out the tongue of the frog that preyed on the mosquito and slammed it onto Zhou Chang's body.
After those black tentacles were attached to Zhou Chang's body, they began to slowly turn red, and when all those tentacles turned red, they suddenly lit up, illuminating the dim basement as if it were day.
Those sticky and fishy tentacles burrowed into Zhou Chang's skin like leeches, and Zhou Chang panicked for a while, thinking that this disgusting monster wanted to suck his blood dry, and his scalp was about to explode. I tried to pull those tentacles hard, but suddenly I found that my whole body couldn't move.
Soon, Zhou Chang felt that the blood in his whole body had been drained, and his already thin body was deflated like a tile.
Just when Zhou Chang thought he was dead, suddenly an inexplicable liquid flowed back into Zhou Chang's body from those tentacles like thin tubes. The liquid was unusually cold, and Zhou Chang was only shivering coldly.
Due to the invasion of the cold qi into his body, Zhou Chang gradually lost his physical strength, his consciousness began to become blurred, and finally he fell asleep deeply.
In his sleep, Zhou Chang felt as if someone was always using strange language, saying in his ear, 'Corrosion comes, and the dead are reborn.' ’
I don't know how long it took, a strong light pierced Zhou Chang's eyes. He snorted softly and woke up from his sleep, covering his eyes with his hands.
After a while, Zhou Chang adapted to the dazzling light and slowly opened his eyes.
However, at this time, the luminosity that illuminates the basement has disappeared, and the basement is dimmed and brightened by the light of the oil lamp.
Zhou Chang, who woke up, felt that what had just happened was like a nightmare, not true.
