Chapter 281: Disturb
In the direction of worship of these creatures, a palace has completely collapsed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I don't see anything useful at all."
Liu Mu couldn't help but say and walked around.
He walked over to a strange dried corpse and crouched down, taking a closer look.
The corpse in front of him had a human-like body, but the head was huge, almost twice the size of the body.
The head is flattened, and it is impossible to judge what it used to look like, but now it looks like a shriveled sponge that has been dehydrated for a long time.
There are small holes in it, and some of them look like honeycombs.
A wind blade sliced through the dried corpse with ease.
The corpse fell to the ground as if it were a dead leaf shattering.
And this strange sound did not stop, but spread out in all directions strangely, as if it was a linkage reaction, and the surrounding dried corpses began to shatter one after another.
One by one, they were reduced to ashes, and in addition to this, the surrounding buildings began to crumble.
A few seconds later, the ruins of the palace in front of Liu Mu were completely turned into ashes.
To Liu Mu's surprise, under the ruins of this palace, there was a hole with a radius of about one meter, which was revealed as the surrounding ashes fell.
Stepping on the thick ashes, Liu Mu walked to the side of this hollow.
The cavity looked like a deep ancient well, apparently dug by hand, but without any water, and with a slightly broken black ladder leading to the bottom.
Maybe it's some kind of secret passage.
"Do you want to go down?"
Liu Mu was a little hesitant.
As the dry corpse buildings turned to ashes, everything around them turned into the desolate and dead appearance of before.
The ashes soon melted into the black-red earth.
The ruins of a whole building were completely gone, except for a deep and dark passage leading to the ground.
"The ground is completely 'dead', so if there are still creatures around, they have moved underground?"
Liu Mu found a relatively intact small stone and dropped the black passage, and it took a long time before a slight echo sounded from it.
It proves that this passage to the underground has a bottom, not a bottomless abyss.
"Let's go down and have a look."
In this barren world, there are not many choices in front of Liu Mu.
Of course, Liu Mu can also choose to stay where he is all the time, anyway, every few days, he will only stay in this world for a few hours.
And there was no compulsion to explore this barren and dead world.
However, Liu Mu had a serious sense of crisis in his heart.
His intuition told him that if he stayed where he was and did nothing, even if it seemed that he was in control of the power of the end, he would one day become a monster without sense.
This is something that Liu Mu can't accept.
Whether it was the living corpse of Li Daye's wife or the distorted figure of this land, Liu Mu didn't let himself become like that.
With a sigh of relief, Liu Mu began to slowly climb down the old but still strong black ladder.
"There's water?"
Soon, Liu Mu felt that the air around him had become humid, and there were a lot of water elements floating around.
He stretched out a hand and condensed the surrounding water element in the center of his palm.
After a while, there was a slight burning sensation in the center of Liu Mu's palm.
"This kind of corrosiveness is about to catch up with the corrosive water arrow." This is not Liu Mu's magic condensation, but simply the convergence of water elements.
It has a lethality comparable to that of corrosive water arrows.
If you are an ordinary person and stay in such an environment for a long time, I am afraid that you will fall ill directly and eventually die.
Fortunately, Liu Mu's current body can fully withstand such an environment.
"If there is such an environment underground, I am afraid that it will be difficult for ordinary creatures to survive and reproduce......" Liu Mu said secretly in his heart, and guessed his downward foot.
However, his body did not shake for a moment, as if he had expected this situation.
This ladder is supposed to be made of iron, and I don't know how long it has existed, and it is not impossible for some of the horizontal bars in the middle to be broken.
Probed down a little more, but still didn't step on the bar.
Liu Mu simply let go of his hand, showing a state of free fall, and began to fall.
After falling for a while, he stretched out his hand suddenly, and his palm was claw-like, and he suddenly buckled into the surrounding wall, and after sliding for a distance, he forcibly stopped his downward trend.
Then, Liu Mu's body shook, withdrew his hand and fell again.
Three times later, he landed firmly on the water-stained ground, and the iron ladder above his head was long gone.
"There's no turning back." Liu Mu took a step and walked towards the only passage, originally he had not gone back in this land.
After walking for a while, the originally narrow passage became a little more open, and closed iron doors appeared on both sides of Liu Mu, with small windows on them.
"Dungeon?"
The surroundings are very much like those dark prison cells.
Randomly chose the room on the left-hand side, kicked open the already dilapidated iron door, and a stale smell came from inside.
It was so intense that it was almost substantial, and even Liu Mu inevitably took two steps back, waiting for the smell to slowly dissipate.
After a while, the disgusting and even fainting smell gradually dissipated.
Liu Mu also walked into this cell.
He was right, this was the appearance and layout of a prison cell.
Only, on the floor, on the walls, on the decaying wooden bed, everything in the cell was covered in a black strange substance.
It feels as if the flesh and blood of some kind of creature are covered in it.
I don't know why, the moment I stepped in, a picture appeared in Liu Mu's mind:
The body of a creature in a cell swelled and swelled, and finally the cell was completely filled and exploded, polluting everything.
"It's not a bloodline memory." Liu Mu exited the cell and looked at the back of his hand, and among the twisted marks on it, a little spark floated out and disappeared into this dark space.
"Whew-"
With a light breath, Liu Mu continued to walk in front of him, pushing open several more cells on the way.
It's almost the same as the one I just saw, covered in black substance.
But as you get deeper and deeper into the labyrinthine underground cells, things change.
The black substance in the cell was gone, and a dried corpse similar to that seen on the ground appeared.
It's just that none of these dried corpses are intact.
Basically, only one-third of the original body remained, and it was still scattered on the ground.
It was as if some wild beast had come in and eaten them.
"If it's a beast, it shouldn't be closed, is it some kind of intelligent creature that will still pass through the wall?" Liu Mu said secretly in his heart.
With the exception of a few, the iron doors of these cells were closed, but the dried corpses inside were not intact.
Either you eat it and close the door and leave, or you have the ability to pass through walls.
Choose one of the two.
Or, a little more bizarre, with the ability to devour through the air?
Either way, it doesn't seem to be good news for Liu Mu.
However, Liu Mu did not have the slightest panicked expression on his face, and even a little excited.
You know, since he became entangled with the power of the end, there has been almost no more fighting on this barren land, and some have only walked aimlessly to explore.
If there really is any terrible monster in front of him, for Liu Mu, it is no less than a "pastime".
Fighting, he was never afraid.
After discovering the possible dangerous creatures, Liu Mu's pace accelerated even further.
Soon, as he turned a corner, a door suddenly appeared in front of him.
A gate closed in the middle and at least five meters in height.
When I walked to the door, I stretched out a finger and pressed it on it, and the feeling I came from was not some metal, nor the touch of wood, but a feeling with a faint rebounding power.
The gate has a large carved drawing depicting a scene.
A group of creatures of all kinds, both humans and beasts, are prostrating themselves in front of a place.
The object of their worship seems to have been worn out because of too much time, and they can't see what it is.
But this scene is undoubtedly exactly the same as the scene Liu Mu saw on the ground, so what these people are worshipping should be the collapsed palace.
Or rather, I'm afraid it's the one inside the palace.
"Will it be in there?"
Liu Mu stretched out his hand, wanting to push the door open.
Unexpectedly, the gate was quite heavy, and it didn't move after retreating a little.
"It's kind of interesting." Liu Mu smiled, increasing his strength, and an unpleasant squeak sounded out, and the gap in the middle of the gate became slightly clearer.
The other hand also reached up and pressed on the door on the other side, Liu Mu leaned forward and began to exert his strength thoroughly.
Then the heavy gate collapsed.
“……”
Liu Mu was a little speechless, this door was difficult to open just now, the reason was that it was in disrepair, and the original "moving parts" had been completely necrotic.
Behind the gate, there is an ornate temple.
To be precise, the once ornate temple is now dilapidated, with broken columns, and the floor is littered with rubble and candle shelves and other ornaments.
At the end of the main hall, there is a large chair, like a throne.
With his back to Liu Mu, a scepter-like weapon could be seen peeking out, and a white hand bone hanging from the side of the handrail.
Walking into this hall, Liu Mu's footsteps were unusually clear, and even directly formed a burst of echoes.
After a slight pause, without stopping, Liu Mu continued to walk towards the throne.
Soon, he was behind the throne.
At the moment of standing, the throne that was originally facing away from it became facing Liu Mu.
The hand bones that were originally hanging down grabbed Liu Mu's hand, and a voice echoed in the main hall.
"It's not good to disturb the sleep of the dead......"
