Chapter 774: A Stone Tablet
In the silent void, the jet-black stone tablet was far larger than anything Lin Huang had ever seen. It just floated through the void, with an ancient aura, as if it had existed longer than this void.
Feeling the breath of time from the stone stele, Lin Huang's mind was also reminded of the memories that had been sealed for a long time. It was before the time travel, the bits and pieces that happened on the earth, everything was replayed like a movie, and every detail was crystal clear. Even some images that have long been blurred in memory are like videos shot in the highest resolution at this moment.
On the wooden door of the old house, which creaked with a slight push, the textures were clearly recognizable. On my mother's black turtleneck, there were also strands thinner than a hair. There is also an ant nest that was watered by himself when he was a child, and Lin Huang can count how many ants come out...... Even in the infant period when there was no memory, some things that Lin Huang did not have any impression of became clear.
"What the hell is this stele? Just the breath that escapes can affect my memory. ”
As the stele got closer and closer, Lin Huang saw that the surface of the stele seemed to have been hit by countless meteorites. Large craters that seemed to have been smashed by meteorites were densely covered with three-quarters of the area on the front of the stele, and spider web-like cracks could be clearly seen around the craters that were sunken and stretched into the distance. There were several large cracks that were particularly conspicuous, and Lin Huang looked at them with all his might, as if there was no end in sight of a bottomless abyss.
The entire stele looked like it had been badly damaged, and judging by the number of craters and the depth of the cracks, it was not easy to hold on to the whole piece without disintegrating.
"It shouldn't be a meteorite impact, the gods have their own consciousness, and when they encounter a meteorite impact, they will open the energy defense layer, and they can't leave the slightest trace at all. Moreover, with the strength of the artifact, even if the defense layer is completely opened, the traces that can be left by the meteorite impact are very limited, and it is impossible to cause such damage. It is more likely that a divine object can be made like this (including humans and monsters), and only the strong people above the true god can do it. ”
"I'm afraid this artifact is not an ordinary thing, and after such a heavy blow, its power can still cover an entire island with an area of millions of square kilometers, causing it a similar curse. ”
The more he analyzed these details, the more Lin Huang felt that this artifact was not simple.
Watching the stele gallop in the direction he was, a faint sense of unease rose in his heart.
"This thing isn't coming for me, is it?"
As soon as this thought came out, Lin Huang immediately fled into the distance, wanting to avoid the route of the stone stele. But he soon found that the route of the stele had also changed, and it was still chasing in his direction.
"It's really coming for me!"
Lin Huang's face suddenly became a little difficult to look at, he changed the direction of flight, and then turned his head to look back, only to see that the stone tablet had changed direction again and was chasing after him. He tried to change direction a few more times, and the stele turned again and again, always facing him, and getting closer and closer.
Even if he turned on the second stage acceleration and increased his speed to the extreme, he couldn't get away from the stele at all.
"Can't escape...... Lin Huang also accepted his fate when he saw this, knowing that it would be in vain to escape any longer, so he simply didn't escape.
Crushed a transformation card, Lin Huang's combat power in the Golden Flame Realm instantly increased to a four-step long habitat, and there were three temporary combat power enhancement cards hidden in the cuff of his left hand for backup, and he also held the Sky Splitting Battle Knife in his right hand.
His figure was suspended in mid-air, facing the stone monument head-on, his eyes were cold, as if he had entered a state of readiness.
The huge black stele seemed to be moving slowly and quickly, and it didn't take long for it to approach Lin Huang.
Seeing that the distance was only more than 100 meters away, Lin Huang's sword intent was condensed to the extreme, and he was ready to slash at any time.
But at this moment, the stele suddenly stopped. Hovered about a hundred meters in front of Lin Huang.
Just when Lin Huang was surprised, a voice like muffled thunder suddenly exploded in his ears.
"Human, there's something special about your soul. ”
Lin Huang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his divine thoughts poked out in all directions, and his eyes also scanned the surroundings at the same time, but he found nothing.
He quickly reacted, his gaze fell back to the huge stone tablet not far in front of him, his body suddenly moved, and he retreated hundreds of meters away, looking in the direction of the stone tablet with a vigilant face.
There was nothing around, and it was clear that the sound was coming from the stone tablet.
"Don't be nervous, I have no ill will towards humans. The voice came again.
"Are you this stone tablet, or is it some creature hidden in the stone tablet?" Lin Huang asked directly, "Since there is no malice, why don't you reveal your true nature and talk to me face to face?"
After Lin Huang came to this world, he had seen a lot of talking monsters. But the talking object, he has only seen his own gold-fingered Xiao Hei, and nothing else.
So the first time he heard the sound, he didn't think it was the stone tablet talking, but thought that there were other creatures nearby. After some fruitless investigation, he confirmed that the source of the sound was the stone tablet in front of him. It's just that he's not quite sure if it's the stele or the creature in the stele that is speaking.
Lin Huang's question was not answered, but after a moment of silence, he suddenly found that the size of the stone tablet was shrinking dramatically.
In less than ten seconds, the monument, which was a few points larger than a star, shrank to more than three meters high. Almost at the same time, the voice just now came to Lin Huang's ears again.
"You should know what I am now, right?"
The answer was already self-evident, Lin Huang looked at the stone tablet not far in front of him with a surprised face, he couldn't imagine that such a behemoth just now could shrink to such an extent in the blink of an eye.
After a while, he came back to his senses, still full of vigilance, "You just said that you have no ill will towards humans, so why did you bring me here?"
"Your soul has an aura that makes me feel familiar...... "If I'm not mistaken, you should be a traverser, right?"
Lin Huang's heart chuckled, it was the first time that his true identity was revealed, but his face was still expressionless, and he did not respond to this question.
"I'm sorry, I was a little abrupt. I haven't dealt with humans for a long time, and my conversation skills are a little rusty. After speaking, the stele changed the subject, "Before I ask you to answer this privacy question, I should first say a little bit about my own situation." ”
"In fact, my previous master, like you, was also a traverser, and there are some similarities between the soul aura of the two of you. And I can clearly sense the breath of the golden finger in your body, because I used to be a golden finger too. ”
"Are you also a golden finger?" Lin Huang's heart tightened again when he heard this, he clearly remembered that Xiao Hei had said before that golden fingers could devour each other. He also sensed that Xiao Hei in his body had completely fallen into silence since he entered this space just now. When I used the transformation card just now, I didn't even see a prompt sound. I ignored this detail just now, but now that I think about it, Xiao Hei should have sensed the existence of the other party and was forced to hibernate.
And with the other party's current broken state, he should recover a lot of injuries if he devours Xiao Hei. With this thought, Lin Huang's face became more and more ugly.
Seeing Lin Huang's face change drastically, the stele seemed to have guessed the idea in his mind.
"You don't have to worry, I won't make a move on you, and I won't do anything to your golden finger. A gold finger with only two-star permissions, even if swallowed, it won't have much effect on my recovery. And it's still intact, and devouring it has a violent backlash. ”
"Two-star permission?" Lin Huang muttered in a low voice, he was a little suspicious of this, because he had the impression that Xiao Hei's permission had been upgraded several times.
"You don't even know the permission level?" said the stele a little strangely, "It seems that your golden finger has a bit of a bad personality." ”
"Uh, it's okay. Lin Huang suddenly remembered that when he first got Xiao Hei, his character card evaluation was miserable for a long time. "Can you tell me about this permission star?"
"It's very simple, the permission level is only related to the host's life level. Ordinary people's golden fingers only have one-star permissions, and the transcendent will be promoted to two-star permissions, and when they reach the god level, they will have three-star permissions, and so on. ”
"You mean to say that sometimes the system prompts an elevation of permissions, but it is not actually that the star privileges have been elevated?" Lin Huang hurriedly asked.
"The kind of prompt you mentioned should be the function permission escalation, including the function unlocking and the function level escalation. This is the promotion that can be obtained after reaching certain conditions, and has nothing to do with the host's life level. Functional permissions and star permissions are completely different things, but every time the star permissions are upgraded, they will also be accompanied by the unlocking of some functional permissions. ”
The stele's explanation made Lin Huang suddenly enlightened.
"Can I ask you some other questions?" The stone tablet's explanation made Lin Huang a little bolder.
"Ask, I'll try to answer what I can. ”
"Are you the golden finger of a few stars?" Lin Huang asked tentatively.
"Four stars. "The stele has nothing to hide.
"Four-star?!Then your previous master, the strength is still above the god level?" Lin Huang was a little shocked.
"Yes, his strength is also a top powerhouse in the big world. ”
"He's already fallen?" The golden finger usually does not exist without the host, and the stone tablet appeared here, and it was damaged like this, so Lin Huang naturally made this guess.
"Yes. After a moment of silence, the stele answered the question.
"With his strength, plus your assistance, will he fall?" Lin Huang was a little hard to imagine how the previous owner of the stone tablet died.
"He's provoked a powerful enemy that shouldn't be provoked. The stele brushed aside the issue, apparently reluctant to discuss the subject.
Sensing this, Lin Huang stopped asking about related topics, was silent for a long time, and turned the conversation in another direction.
"Why did you bring me here? It shouldn't be as simple as my soul aura resembling your master's, right?"
The stele fell silent for a long time before speaking again.
"I'll tell you the truth, I brought you in in the hope that you would be my host. ”
"Wait, you should know, I can only make a contract with one golden finger, right?" Lin Huang frowned slightly, normally speaking, he didn't have too many golden fingers, but he clearly remembered that the contract of golden fingers was unique, and there was no way to sign a second contract.
"It's simple, you just need to terminate the contract with your current golden finger. The voice of the stele came indifferently.
