Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Inherent Spiritual Realm of Reappearance
Catherine saw the world again, this was the second time she had seen the world through her own eyes and not in a dream, and it was no longer a flash like the last time, this time, she really stepped on the earth with her own feet, and felt the world with her own body. In addition to herself, the other girls were seeing Pannis's inherent mental realm for the first time, and it could even be said that it was the first time they had seen the intrinsic mental realm of demigods, except, of course, Freya, who had seen it many times from her own father.
What appeared in front of the girls' eyes was a desert with no end in sight. The sky was as dark as ink, and the dark sky seemed so close to the ground that it was oppressive and unsettling. There were three bright moons hanging in the dark sky, and the three ladies of the night, despite their radiance, could not drive away the darkness in the sky. Under the firmament, the earth was covered with yellow sand, and the heavens and the earth were filled with howling winds and sandstorms, and what covered the yellow sand was an endless number of white bones, the white bones of humanoids, and these pale dry bones were scattered in the desert, at the expense of the wind and sand.
On top of the mountain of white bones, a female figure stood on the top of the peak, with long black hair, silver full-body armor, and a spear tree in her hand, looking up at the moon in the sky, just as Nelly, who was about to step into the battlefield on the edge of the sighing desert a hundred years ago, leaned on Kyle's shoulder, her firm and clear gaze met the moon in the sky, and no one could guess what she was thinking in her heart. The girls suddenly entered the realm, but the shadow of the knight did not react, as if nothing had been found, but the girls who had just entered were startled, except for Catherine, no one thought that there would be people in Pannis's spiritual realm, so when the shadow of the knight appeared in their sight, several girls couldn't help but take a step back, turning their puzzled gaze to Pannis, who appeared beside them at the same time.
"It was a shadow in my memory. Pannis hung his head, unable to bear to look at Nelly. "That's what I remember as she is, shaped with my realm, not real, don't be surprised," he whispered. β
Catherine was not surprised. In the tempestuous corridors of the Flash Forest, she had been staring at Nelly's phantom for a few seconds, so she was prepared. But even though she knew that it wasn't Nelly herself, she still clenched her fist and struck her breastplate, with the courtesy of a knight saluting her predecessors. The welcome to Nelly was a tribute of his own.
Although the girls had fantasized about Nelly's appearance many times in their portraits and descriptions, this was the first time they had seen her in person. In the paintings of legendary heroes, the images of heroes are extremely beautified, and no one thought that the original heroic female knight was just such an ordinary-looking girl, if it weren't for the fortitude and heroism between her eyebrows, even if she was wearing a full set of knights' equipment, it would be difficult for people to believe that she was a real knight. And a model of knighthood.
However, the girls didn't have much time to see Nelly's welcome, they didn't come to visit the inherent spiritual realm of Pannith after all, nor did they enter alone, and with them, there were three demigod-level demonic beasts that were powerful to a certain extent, which was the reason why they entered the spiritual realm and fought side by side.
Even lizardfolk rarely see the full extent of swamp lurkers, who hide themselves in deep mire all year round, never exposing their bodies to the surface. When it's time to hunt, they reach out with long tentacles from the bottom of the swamp and explore everything outside by sensing wind movements and temperature changes through tiny tentacles around their suckers. A swamp lurker is likely to never emerge from the mire from birth to death, and even if he dies, he will be buried in the mud. Therefore, when they saw the lurkers in the realm of the mind, the first reaction of the girls was almost identical: "So they are like this." β
The Swamp Lurkers have a peculiar appearance. Their main part is an oblong lump of flesh, shaped a bit like an olive pit, with two pointed ends, slightly thicker in the middle, near the two ends, there are some relatively short thin tentacles, and the thicker middle part grows hundreds of thick and long tentacles, such a body can be very convenient to shuttle back and forth in the mire, with one end of the fine tentacles to assist the thin end to separate the mire, with thick tentacles to speed up the movement, it is no wonder that they never leave the swamp, their appearance is almost to survive in the swamp to grow like thisγ
"It's disgusting. "Even after the training of the deep-sea octopus clan, the girls felt a wave of instinctive disgust when they saw this creature with hundreds of tentacles. Lina frowned, drew a standard square on her chest, and whispered, "My lord Denya blesses, if it is possible, I would never want to see them a second time." β
I have to admit that Lina is right, the image of the lurker gives people a feeling that can only be described by the word disgusting. Only the tentacles are not visible when they are exposed, and once the full picture appears, this disgusting feeling is aggravated countless times. Their tentacles are black, with a large number of suckers growing on them, and the suckers are constantly secreting lubricating mucus, while their bodies are pale, probably caused by their years of hiding in the mud and not seeing the light. On their bodies, too, they secrete a thick layer of mucus, which is mixed with the mud of the swamp, which is slippery and disgusting. What's even more disgusting is that at the root of each of their tentacles, there is a sarcoma growing on it, and hundreds of sarcomas of different sizes are all over their bodies more than thirty meters long, looking like a deformed monster.
"I'm afraid no one wants to see a second time. Freya's hands were constantly busy, countless metal parts appearing and disappearing in her hands, small pieces that she would splice together to form slightly larger pieces that could be quickly transformed into combat-ready machines when needed. An experienced mechanic will be like her, keeping the parts in his hand ready to be put into battle as quickly as possible, and if he waits until the time of battle to start assembling, I'm afraid it will be too late.
The girls still have time to talk to each other because Pannisy has a clever control of the position when he pulls the twin into the field. Although due to the characteristics of the field, the two sides appeared at the same height plane, but Pannis controlled the distance and pulled the positions of the two sides apart by more than 200 meters.
The three demigod-level demonic beasts suddenly found that their prey had disappeared, and they had left the familiar swamp and came to a place they couldn't understand, waving their tentacles for a while. (To be continued.) )
