The group walked and chatted, in this way to relieve the pressure of an increasingly secretive environment.

The surface of the swamp shone with light, as if caused by the light of the last quarter moon and starlight.

But now there are dark clouds covering the sky, and there is ice and fog below, and the glimmer of the water surface is very strange.

The vision also includes clouds of black snow, which immediately melt away when standing on the clothes, forming patches of asphalt-like oil stains that not only look slimy, but also very permeable.

THE AVERAGE 35 CM OF SWAMP WATER SEEMS TO BE UNDER INVISIBLE PRESSURE, AND THE TEMPERATURE IS ALREADY BELOW FREEZING, BUT IT DOES NOT FREEZE, BUT LIKE A FRUIT ORANGE, THE GRANULAR ICE AND MUDDY WATER APPEAR TO BE THICK.

From Kane's point of view, the extraordinary energy in this area is dominated by the power of the water element and the power of darkness, and only the joint efforts of all people can pry such extraordinary power and cast spells, which can be joint ritual spells or the power of faith.

After some thought, he finally gave up reminding the others that their psychological pressure was already very high, and it was better not to make it worse.

In fact, Oliver and the others also felt it more or less, and it was a strange sense of alienation, as if the space had emotions and expressed an unfriendly attitude.

And almost unanimously they made the choice not to think about it as much as possible, focusing on walking and chatting.

Viewed from above, Moody's group walked not in a straight line, but in a zigzag, as if walking through a ravine in the mountains, sometimes in a circle that almost turned back.

The road is more than twice as long as walking in a straight line, and the advantage is that the muddy water never overflows people's knees.

The danger of the swampy terrain, needless to say, is well known, and with the addition of all kinds of bad factors on the transcendent side, it can definitely be called a deadly mud pond, and now it has penetrated more than ten kilometers without any problems, and Moody's is the vanguard to take the first credit.

Then there's Kane. His role in calming people's hearts is becoming more and more prominent, and his combination with Moody is a near-perfect guide.

Kane told the others what he thought of Sinoe Island, and although he didn't say much, with the wisdom of everyone, it was basically clear.

But now that we need to continue talking, we need to take the initiative to find a topic.

Moody's asked: "The edge of Sinoe Island is so special, what are the gatekeepers who have lived here for generations?

"Basically. "The houses in the harbor show that the gatekeepers are at least accustomed to the human way of life and willing to interact with humans from the outside world," Kane said. This is already much easier to get along with than some primitive human tribes in the dense forest. ”

Kane's meaning is understood by others in seconds - don't look at the outside, look at the core, can interact with human beings, and are willing to use the products of human civilization, which is very good, after all, generations have lived here, and they must be affected by the environment here, even if they were physiologically human, it is still not easy to say.

Oliver adds: "I've seen some of the material about the gatekeepers, and it's very general. It is said that their customs are indeed strange, but there are no special taboos. Oh, and the gatekeepers are all women. ”

Moody came interested: "It's like the legendary battle tribe Amazon." ”

"No, they don't need to borrow from outside. ”

Moody exclaimed, "Then how do they breed? Immortality, impossible, right?"

"Of course not. ”

"Orphans from all over the world by the Catholic Church?"

"No, it's only been a matter of more than ten years since the benevolent faction found Sino Island, and the gatekeepers have existed for thousands of years. ”

Moody swallowed and said, "Then the most likely way I can think of to reproduce now is to combine with some kind of creature in another world, and guess with the monsters we encountered, it feels like that scene is very dirty and very terrifying!"

Kane answered: "It could also be artificial insemination, or even cloning. Although this is a cutting-edge technology that has not yet been popularized by human civilization today, it is not surprising that the transcendent side was realized thousands of years ago. ”

Kane added: "If that's the case, we'll have to be more cautious. The port area was obviously not built by the gatekeepers, at most it was a bazaar, and it was probably even a stronghold for us outsiders at all. ”

Moody said: "I am now more and more curious about the gatekeepers, what kind of community they are, and what kind of livelihood do they live on, fishing, hunting, farming?"

Oliver felt that this topic was no longer nutritious, so he concluded: "Our big ship has sunk, and in the next few days, I am afraid that I will not be able to do it without dealing with the gatekeeper." It will all be clear then. ”

He then asked Kane, "Kevin, what do you think of the vicious events that happened on Sinoe Island, and who do you think our opponent is?"

When he was still on the big ship before, the organizers of the operation gave a mission briefing, mainly inclined to the speculation that the Atonement faction stabbed Lou Zi.

Today's Atonement Sect is a mad dog that anyone dares to bite, and he has obtained the "Book of Sin", so it is natural to turn it into a real help, so after going back and researching it, it is reasonable to hurriedly go to Sino Island again and try to attack the evil creatures in Myra's labyrinth.

But after the action began, judging from the encounter, it was not clear what happened to the group, but the side of Group B, as well as the silence of the big ship, were all mythical creatures at work, and the taste was very authentic, insidious and mysterious, and once it was really presented, it was almost incomprehensible.

However, it is fair to say that the situation now is more like that of outsiders, who have intruded into someone else's territory and offended the other party, so they have been severely punished. Mythical creatures don't show much initiative.

At least for the members of Group B, there is no inevitable connection between the dense forest before, the swamp now, and the earliest whirlpool in the port area.

In addition, whether it is a dense forest or a swamp, it gives people the feeling that it has been deeply integrated with the natural environment for a long time, rather than being formed after encroachment and then a series of arrangements.

This makes people wonder if they got the main situation wrong from the beginning, or if they simply landed on the wrong island?

"To be honest, I can't say for sure, but if I had to guess, I'd rather be inclined to believe that Catholicism itself is a cult. ”

Kane's conspiracy theory shocked Oliver and the others.

After a while, Oliver said, "Your guess is too bold." With the performance of the benevolent faction, it can be said that it is completely opposed to the cult, and even the radical atonement faction had many commendable good performances before it went crazy. It's all acting. ”

Kane smiled: "Why acting?" he explained: "The reason why human beings characterize those unspeakable old rulers as evil gods is a kind of positioning conclusion based on their own moral and ethical perspectives, combined with the benefits and harms, gains and losses. This angle is actually very narrow, and it is not even enough to reflect even one side of the old rulers, and how many sides they have, human beings do not know, and cannot imagine. ”

"To put it simply, if the old ruler is a bear child, then it is part of the play for him to water the ant hole with boiling water, or to sprinkle food and watch the ants carry it. But for ants, it's a different feeling. ”

Therefore, from God's point of view, it doesn't matter if there is good or evil, there is a high probability of existence of any one possibility, provided that He is interested in playing. ”

"What we really need to worry about is the clans, and our kind, because they are not detached enough, and they often have more specific demands for human beings, food, slavery, which involves hunting, conquering, and then they may play more tricks. For example, adding personal interests and killing games. ”

Oliver fell into deep thought.

Moody's thinking is not deep enough, and Kane's outline is enough to fool him, he said: "It seems to make sense." Then the erection of God is a member of the old rulers, and then what?"

Oliver couldn't help but laugh: "If that's the case, it means that Sinoe Island is the habitat of mythical creatures, and we are the unlucky ones who have been completely pitted, what else?"

Moody was surprised: "If that's the case, doesn't it mean that the benevolent faction is also the black hand that pits us? They want to declare war on the entire Celestial City? Can't they?

Kane answered: "Maybe driven crazy." If the Atonementers have conclusive evidence that they are also evil gods, or even good birds, and threaten them with this, is it possible for the Charity to give in?"

"......" Moody had to admit that assuming that God's claim that God was a member of the Old Dominator was the background, then the probability that Kane's speculation might be the truth was quite high. But he still doesn't want to believe in this possibility, after all, it is too subversive. He said: "Even if all this is the ghost behind the scenes of the Atonement Faction, what is the motive? Our loss will only make the various forces in the Heavenly City wake up, and even join forces to encircle and suppress, what good is it for them who are already struggling to operate?"

Kane hehe: "I know that the participants in this operation are basically from extraordinary backgrounds. But still, don't take yourself too seriously. Even if it is the person who carries the future of the crown, it is also the future, and the fall of the potential future star is indeed regrettable and heart-wrenching, but revenge also has a cost, and you can't gamble on the future of the entire force just because of one person. This is a bit indifferent and cruel, and some people may refute it, if you only care about this, then people's hearts will be scattered long ago. Think about it from another angle, what is the magic weapon for the long-term survival of organizational forces? It is important to have a human touch, but it is also important to take into account the interests of all members, right? And the longer the history, the more interests are emphasized, and this is the norm, right?"

Indeed, Kane's words are very heartfelt, but Moody and Oliver can't refute them, the truth is even more serious than what Kane said, if they die, I'm afraid even their relatives won't be able to take revenge at any cost.

At this time, Kane said again: "Of course, we don't have to be arrogant and don't take ourselves seriously. At least our opponents still think more favorably than us. If this is really a ghost of the Atonement Faction, then what will you think of when the collection of wicked people represented by the disappearance of prisoners in Montenegro Prison corresponds to us?"

Moody and Oliver answered almost at the same time, except that Moody answered the hero and Oliver answered the Warrior.

This shows the difference in thinking between the two. Moody is more romantic, he defines this operation as a righteous act of eradicating rape and evil, and the people who rise to the occasion are naturally heroes.

Oliver's view is more secular, he knows that people's motives for participating in actions are not pure, they have orders, their own demands, and may even have ill-intentioned calculations, etc., and so on, such behavior naturally does not deserve to be linked to the concepts of 'justice' and 'hero', at most it is 'courageous and commendable', so it is a warrior.

After blurting out, it was immediately a chill from the heart, after all, they are all perennial contact with extraordinary forces, treacherous evils, heroes, wicked people, warriors, gathering this obviously opposing existence together, this is a typical transcendent ritual with harsh conditions.

"Trick us into making us sacrifices! These bastards!" Moody scolded angrily, which could completely make people feel the element of shame and fear, after all, judging from the current situation, the other party had basically succeeded.

Kane, however, felt that there was still a lack of heat, and he said, "If you really need a symbolic sacrifice." Then it is often the quality that is not the quantity, the blood of the wicked, the soul of the warrior, the higher the quality, the better, how to get it? Naturally, it is to raise Gu, and through the operation of brutal fighting, Tao exchanges the final winner. If this is the case, it is not surprising that what we have experienced is that the dead are eliminated, not the true sacrifices. ”

Moody said unconvinced: "Then what if I want to play away and we are all dead?"

Kane said calmly: "It means that there is no one who has even reached the passing line, so I will find a way to choose." ”

"Can you do it again?"

"Of course, rescuing us is a good reason. Didn't I say it, and don't take yourself seriously. Within the cost range, there are still people who are optimistic about our future and are willing to invest to save it. ”

......After a moment of silence, Moody said angrily and helplessly: "After listening to your speculation, I am in a worse mood now." ”

Kane said, "Think there's a high probability that my speculation is consistent with the truth?"

"Hmm. And I hate being played with the most. ”

Kane said in his heart, "Of course, you are all arrogant sons of heaven, when have you ever felt the experience of being manipulated like a commodity?"

He said, "Then you can think differently." Right in sight, we are facing a struggle. Judging from the essence of this series of events, it is also a struggle. The examination of the theoretical direction, the fool, will not think too high and too far, but only focus on the present. And the wise man sees through everything. Both came to the conclusion that it was a fight, so what we had to face was nothing more than fighting and killing, and if we win, we could say anything, and if we lost, everything we wanted was in vain. You may say that it is easier said than done, but you can't deny that the truth is like this, and only those who are in the middle will be too concerned about all kinds of possibilities, and suffer from gains and losses. Instead of thinking about this, it is better to think about how to win, at least not to lose too ugly, Elliot and Cicero, both are a bit of a pity. They didn't even finish venting to the outside world, they suffocated themselves inward. ”

There was another silence, and after a while, Moody said: "At least now that I have a self-consistent explanation, I feel that my heart is much brighter, I will not suffocate myself, even if I die, I will fight to death!"

Oliver also said: "Yes, to die in battle, not to lose to one's own cowardice." ”

Although Ellie and Ella did not express their position, the soul force field reflected their change of mentality.

Seeing that people's fighting spirit was awakened, Kane took out a fiery red bead from his pocket and crushed it directly. At the same time, the mouth shouted: "Accept the blessing of the flame." ”

The flames burst into flames, and four firebirds flew out of them and pounced on Oliver.

Oliver and the others chose to trust Kane and let the firebird turn into a warm current and melt into the body.

The four of them couldn't help but stir up, and then they felt excited, and their blood was full of blood.

At this time, Kane said again: "Keep it this way." ”

The four of them quickly understood the significance of Kane's operation. It turned out to be an opportunity to promote the common characteristics of the soul, and then achieve the effect of spiritual synergy, with Kane as the dispatch, leveraging the high concentration of extraordinary power here.

After connecting each other with the refined flame power he had reserved, Kane raised his hand and threw out seven fireballs. The fireballs arc in the air, each tracking down the golem and setting it on fire.

This kind of ignition is like the legendary human nature, the body is burning, and the clothes are wrapped in something, but they are intact.

And Kane's operation finally completely detonated an increasingly mysterious and dangerous situation. The glowing muddy swamp quickly turned into a pitch-black and turbid abyss, and bubbles swelled around the people, and soon, clumps of asphalt-like viscous substance rose like a spring, and under the light of the fire, people could see that this formless substance, which had a certain resemblance to the characteristics of Shoghus, was generating numerous tentacles like trees spreading their leaves.

The Invisible Son, a race of subordinate servants of the Old Dominators.

They are closely related to Satogua and can usually be found in the temples of Satogua or in caves where sunlight does not shine.

These fluid black creatures have fluid-like bodies and a myriad of forms to choose from.

However, although they can change, there are also habits or not, such as the shrunken mass like a toad, or the slender appearance of hundreds of incompletely developed appendages, which are the most accustomed and commonly used forms, which can be changed in a very short time.

The lethality of these creatures is mainly stealthy and sudden, they can seep through small crevices, and can twist or expand their bodies at will. You can imagine how caught off guard when they lurk in those damp and watery caves.

And the current appearance mode is obviously different from the general situation.

Leave it to Kane to explain, and he thinks he should say something like this:

By the time the group entered this blurred area between the two realms, the 'smell' (soul power fluctuations) had already penetrated to the other side. Thus attracting the attention of the nearby Invisible Sons.

However, they couldn't get over because the group was trying to restrain themselves from giving them coordinates to show the entity on the other side. The Invisible Children refused to give up easily, and they followed the scent as they gathered more and more.

As the number of Invisible Sons increases, the energy they carry continues to gather, resulting in a more powerful infiltration, and the influence on the side of Kane and the others is becoming more and more intense, which is why the environment is becoming more and more secretive. Their group had long been surrounded by a large number of otherworldly sharks, and if they continued like this, quantitative changes would lead to qualitative changes.

Kane had always had a timer in his mind, and he knew that if he didn't take the initiative to break the deadlock now, wait for the realm to collapse and let the Invisible Sons take the initiative, then the situation would be much more dangerous.

So he took the initiative. And the unity of the soul power of the five people, although it allows him to pry the rich extraordinary power here, but it also forms a guiding light, because the emotional strength (fear) is insufficient, this is not a good coordinate, but after all, it is a coordinate, the number of invisible sons on the opposite side is huge, after all, there is a scene.
