Chapter 372: Core
The feeling of being spied on from all directions by a grand consciousness came and went quickly, and when Hao Ren reacted, this sense of peeping had already disappeared, leaving only the hairs on his body standing upside down, and he could remind himself that it was not an illusion just now, Lily was a girl with a keen sense of six senses, and at this time, he suddenly came up and stared at Hao Ren's face: "Ah, landlord, you will also blow up your hair?" You blow up another one and blow another ......"
Hao Ren felt that he couldn't communicate with this husky who was surprised and nervous......
He pulled Lily aside, remembering how he felt and how he had felt when he first entered the twisted woodland, finally making sure that they were the same thing. He looked at the huge, tangled, tangled roots in the cavern, and felt more and more that they were exuding an endless stream of thoughts, remembering the legend of the dwarven miner digging up the tentacles to lead him crazy, and thinking about Vivien's guesses...... An ancient creature that has transcended the distinction between plants and animals, perhaps it has really noticed the arrival of its own group.
And it's thinking, it's watching, it's just not acting yet.
"What's wrong?" Vivien noticed Hao Ren's movements, and her eyes fell with a little worry.
Hao Ren repeated what he had just felt, and looked at the others strangely: "You guys didn't notice? ”
"No," Betsy scratched herself with goosebumps, "don't be scary, this place is weird enough......"
Exploring in such a gloomy cave deep underground had already made everyone highly nervous, and at this time, Hao Ren mentioned that a huge consciousness that enveloped the entire cave was snooping from the side, which suddenly made everyone feel hairy. Makes Lily feel fluffy - because she's about to blow up again.
This husky should also be unlucky, since he came to the dream plane, he has always encountered surprises. If she continued to blow up like this, she really felt that sooner or later she would have to get a big fluffy tail like a vixen...... Uh, that seems like a good thing, too? Big tail!
"Anyway, it's a very weird place. Be careful," said the bearded man, he did not consider this place to be safe because it was a sacred cave of the origin of the Church, the more ancient and mysterious the place, the more dangerous it was, he still knew this, but as a devout believer, he regarded the crisis here as a test for the goddess, "Everyone has a means of getting out urgently, right?" We have teleportation. ”
"I brought the teleportation stone." Elson, the old werewolf, nodded and replied.
Of course, Hao Ren and the others were not worried: their announced identity was that they were university scholars specializing in space magic, and their hands were particularly trendy......
The team left the Great Cavern in a dreak. The bearded man discerned the next step based on the knowledge he had gained from the ancient lineage, leading the group into one tortuous cavern after another. Further on, the shadows of those huge roots can be seen everywhere in the caves: some of them faintly emerge from the rocks, some of them pass through the stone walls and cross the eyes of everyone, and some have even completely encroached on the surrounding earth and rocks, and the whole cave is formed by entanglement of roots.
It was an underground world completely ruled by the roots, and Hao Ren felt like he was stepping into the heart of an ancient plant, and he could almost hear some kind of throbbing sound from the thick roots around him.
At this moment, there was a sudden light in front of everyone, and a stone gate with obvious man-made traces suddenly appeared at the end of the cave.
The stone gate is integrated with the surrounding cave walls. The illusion that it was almost carved directly from the rock formation was the result of a magician who was good at earth fusing the stone gate with the surrounding rocks. The stone gate is five or six meters high and nearly ten meters wide, and the door frame is carved with chaotic and chaotic reliefs of different shades. Even thousands of years have passed, but these reliefs have not diminished, and when Hao Ren saw these patterns, he first remembered the "holy paintings" of the Huiyao Sect that he had seen in a small church, and he guessed that this pattern was what the Huiyao Sect used to symbolize the goddess. The most peculiar thing about this stone door is that it has no door panels at all: there is only a chaotic white mist of light in the doorway. I couldn't see the opposite scene clearly when the clouds and mist filled it, and I could only vaguely sense a sense of spatial confusion and displacement.
Hao Ren has never experienced many brands of teleporters. The copycats of magic technology have tried, and they are also known as the little prince of the space magic world. This ability to sense is still there - there is a portal in front of you, and this is probably the core of the sacred cave.
Hao Ren and the four bearded men had expected this, but Elson, the old werewolf who had always been hidden from the circle, couldn't help but exclaim: "Artificial? Here......"
"I'm afraid we've come across the remnants left behind by the early days of the Radiant Cult," said the young monk among the ascetics, "This is the Holy Lake, and it's not surprising that there are some ancient ruins, the early days of the sect were in time for the turmoil in the world, and they established underground strongholds in many places, perhaps this is an abandoned one. ”
This reason came as soon as he opened his mouth, and Hao Ren's understanding of the lip service and kung fu of these ascetics came to a new level: don't look at the usual wood, but it really deserves to be a religious background, they really want to pull it up, you find seven or eight people who talk about cross talk, and they may not be able to have these people's mouths......
The old werewolf really didn't suspect him, but he looked at the magic door that was still running and was quite jealous: "This may be a space device, in disrepair, rash contact...... I'm afraid I'll be teleported to some abandoned space, but I won't be able to get out. ”
The bearded man nodded, and with a stern expression, he stepped forward to inspect the space door, and at the same time, a layer of pale golden light lingered on his body, faintly echoing the relief on the stone door, and then he stood up: "The space door is operating normally, it should still work." This is a sacred relic, and if we, as believers, have no face to face the goddess when we are deterred by the door, you can find another way, and we must go in and see. ”
As soon as these words came out, of course, everyone said that they wanted to go in and have a look, and the bearded man took this opportunity to "remind" everyone: "Most of the internal portals left by the Holy See in the early days are a little special, they may randomly teleport people who can't pass a certain test to other places, but basically harmless, if anyone finds themselves teleported alone, don't be nervous, you should be able to return here along a route with specific markings." ”
Hao Ren immediately knew that this sentence was for the old werewolf...... Bearded people are not kind!
It turned out that this was the case, when everyone walked into the portal, Hao Ren only felt a slight dizziness, and when the dizziness was over, the only people in front of him were the bearded four and his friends, and the old werewolf Elson had been teleported to an unknown place in a flickered manner......
"Is it appropriate for us to fool the old-timers like this?" Hao Ren's expression was strange, he didn't mind throwing Elson's tail off, but he felt that the dignified blue wolf general was actually teleported to an unknown place by the bearded man and them with a few words, and he felt very crying and laughing.
As a result, Vivien just waved her hand absently: "Anyway, I don't have any pressure, so I'll fool the children." ”
Elson's hundreds of years old threw Vivien here should be just enough to learn to walk upright......
Hao Ren was speechless for a moment, and the bearded man smiled: "It's okay, according to the inheritance records, the cave he was sent to is very safe, and with his strength, he will not be in danger." Now we can hurry up and head to the depths of the Sacred Cavern. ”
After passing through the portal, everyone arrived at a strange cave, which was obviously several times wider than the previous tunnel leading to Guò, and the surrounding stone walls were full of huge roots and glowing fungi, making the surroundings bright and eerie. Hao Ren couldn't help but reach out and touch a root whisker passing by, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, he felt that this root was trembling slightly, and at the same time it was expanding and contracting like breathing.
But if you look closely, it doesn't seem like there's any movement.
"Why can only the Pope and a handful of dervishes come here?" Becky's face was full of nervousness, she was a small person, and she had not dared to touch this secret that she had previously seemed extremely dangerous, but now as she got closer to some ancient secret, she became more and more worried, "This is a secret that even the parish elders can't touch...... Let us so-called 'chosen spirits' know that it's okay? ”
"What are you worried about?" The bearded head asked without replying.
Betsy had a bitter face: "I'm afraid that people will kill ...... after I go out"
Bearded: "...... You're thinking too much. The main reason for this secrecy is that the sacred caverns contain secrets that have been passed down directly from the goddess, and many of these secrets are not suitable for direct disclosure, and must be accepted by the most committed believers and the 'chosen spirits' from outside the world, and they are likely to subvert your perception and even bring about world-changing power - just as the first Pope shocked the world three thousand years ago when he obtained divine magic as a mortal, maybe we will find some new miracle from the core of the cave this time. We're here to discover them, but also to 'test' them, to put it mildly......"
The bearded man paused at this point before continuing: "Even if you can't bear the inheritance of the goddess and die, it is enough to kill a few of us." ”
Hao Ren understood why the bearded man would be so bold as to lead such a team to the sacred cave: the people on the scene were either ascetics of the faith or "travelers" from outside the world, and he did not have to worry about revealing the great benefits or secrets in the cave.
If you change to a random dream plane native, even if it is the king of Halletta, I am afraid that you will have to go through layers of tests, but for a group of passers-by who do not belong to this world at all...... The four words of foreign household registration are the most trustworthy reason!
For the first time in his life, he felt that a foreign hukou was a good thing......
At this moment, he noticed that the cave had come to an end, and there was a brighter light in front of him, and at the same time, a voice like a heartbeat faintly came:
Knock Knock...... Knock Knock...... Knock Knock......
(In other words, there is no double monthly pass during the Spring Festival, so everyone who has a monthly pass will vote=.) =)(To be continued......)
