Chapter 304: The Spine of the World
Looking at that painting, whether it was Al or Caesar the Crow, a faint uneasiness rose in his heart, because this painting was so real, it was like a photograph, and the miserable white face without eyes above the tower in the painting made Al stand up all over his body when he saw it.
As if afraid that the pale face, which had no eyes, would come out of the painting, Al took a slight step back and said to Caesar the Raven, "Caesar, do you know what this painting is all about?"
Hearing Al's words, Crow Caesar hesitated for a moment, and then said with some uncertainty: "Al, I didn't react just now, but when I saw this painting just now, I suddenly thought of a legend I heard when I was a child.
According to legend, there are many mysterious places in our world, and one of them is called the 'Spine of the World', which is the center of all worlds.
It is said that if you can find a way to enter the 'Spine of the World', you can enter any world without being rejected by that world, but there are many unknown dangers in the Spine of the World, and there are many terrifying beings and evil thoughts that accidentally enter the Spine of the World from various worlds.
Therefore, it is said that anyone who enters the 'spine of the world' is rarely able to get out, they are either lost in another world, or they die in the 'spine of the world'.
And the most important thing is that the danger in this 'Spine of the World' is uncertain, and some of the powerhouses of the eighth or even the ninth level, and even the strong people who have reached the legendary level have died in the 'Spine of the World'.
But there are also first-level, even apprentice-level people who have successfully walked out of the 'spine of the world' and gone to another world.
It's a little different from what I've heard of as the 'Spine of the World', but I think it's probably the Spine of the World. ”
Listening to Caesar's words, Al frowned and nodded, and then said: "Caesar, then do you know how we should leave the 'spine of the world' and return to the original world, and the worst is to go to other worlds, I don't feel very good here, I always feel that if I stay here for a long time, something bad will happen." ”
Caesar the Raven has always been very convinced of Al's premonition, especially when Caesar the Raven knows that El has a certain connection with the 'Emerald Dream', he is even more convinced of Al's premonition.
Therefore, when he heard Al's words, he immediately said to Al, "I don't know the specifics, but it is said that if you want to get out of here, you can only rely on the paintings on these walls, and if those paintings become doors, we will have a chance to leave here through the door."
But it's important to note that the situation inside the door is random, and there may be nothing left, but there may also be powerful otherworldly creatures guarding it, so be careful with everything. ”
Nodding his head, Al slowed down slightly, walking through the seemingly endless corridor as he turned on his [Focus] ability, carefully watching all the paintings on the walls, trying to find a painting that could turn into a door as an exit and escape from the 'spine of the world'!
I don't know how long I walked, Al suddenly stopped, he looked at the painting on his right full of trees, in which there were all kinds of strange creatures, he stepped forward, slowly stretched out his hand, and stroked the surface of the painting.
The moment Al's hand touched the painting, the painting suddenly rippled like water, and then the ripples grew bigger and bigger, spreading to the outside of the frame, gradually turning into a rectangular door, and appearing on the wall in place of the painting!
Looking at the rather ordinary wooden door in front of him, Al reached out and grabbed the doorknob, and spun it to open it, but just when Al just opened a gap in them, there was a sudden huge force on the other side of the door that slammed the door back, and Al was hit by the door pushed open by the huge force, and the whole person flew backwards backwards, hitting the other side of the wall behind him with a large amount of lava and flames!
Raising her head and looking at the open door, she saw a woman covered in scales and all vines with her hair walking out of it, her yellow-green eyes staring at Al as if she had seen some delicious prey, she opened her mouth, revealing three rows of sharp teeth like a crocodile, and her tongue was more like a worm, sticking out of her mouth, constantly wriggling, like a living thing.
From this woman covered in scales, Al can clearly feel a bloodline power far beyond his own, but compared to the body corresponding to the bloodline power, this woman's spiritual power is pitiful, probably only a high-level wizard apprentice level, and it can't be compared with Al who has become a second-level wizard.
Looking at the woman who was slowly approaching him, Al starred, and the wizard robe on his body automatically rose up without wind, and then more than a dozen white jade pythons rushed out and rushed towards the woman with dark green scales on her body.
Seeing the white jade python he had summoned rushing forward, Al immediately bounced up from the ground and rushed forward, intending to quickly move away from the woman.
Just when Al had just rushed out more than ten meters, a scorching breath suddenly gushed out behind Al, Al turned his head to look behind him, and suddenly saw an arm composed of lava and flames stretched out from the painting that Al bumped into before, this arm grabbed the woman who was covered with scales, and under Al's surprised gaze, he directly dragged the woman into the painting, and even several white jade pythons summoned by Al were also dragged into it, and lost contact with Al.
The scaly woman was dragged into the painting by the lava hand, and the open door closed automatically, then slowly disappeared, and once again became a painting on the wall.
As for the painting with the big lava hand outstretched, it was calm again.
Looking at the two paintings just now, Al and Caesar the Crow both secretly swallowed their saliva, the danger of this 'spine of the world' is indeed true, whether it is the woman covered with scales just now, or the lava hand that grabbed the woman into the painting later, they all have the strength to kill El in an instant, it is really terrifying.
"Al, let's keep walking, but you still have to be careful when you open the door, and it's better not to get too close to those paintings, it's really too dangerous!"
Listening to Caesar the Raven's words, Al nodded thoughtfully, took a deep breath, and walked forward again. (To be continued.) )
