vs 497 All living beings

This primitive style of totem looks a bit like a mermaid. 23us, but it is not the kind of mermaid that Ingres once saw at the twilight auction with a man on the top and a fish on the bottom, luring the sinking of the ship with her singing voice and beauty.

Instead, it is covered with strange fins, a mermaid with a strange appearance, and the part of the fish is not confined to the lower body.

Some are upper-body fish, some are left-sided, and some are full-body but retain limbs. Ingres didn't know if there were any of these species among the merfolk, but they appeared to have both humanoid and fish-like shapes, and until he knew what they were called, Ingres thought they might be a subspecies of the merfolk.

Behind this row of mermaid totems of various colors, there are carved murals.

The main characters in the picture have changed from mermaids to frogskin monsters. The froghiders do strange things, some kneeling, some carrying burdens, and some carrying harpoons, which seem to describe the daily life of frogskins...... But the last few paintings, a little stranger.

The merfolk from the previous totem reappeared, soaring through the clouds, leading the frogskin monster to a place full of sunlight.

The froghides dance in a circle in celebration, and the merfolk disappear.

This series of murals seems to be related to the belief in the gods of the frogskin monster civilization, the mermaid is a faith, a totem, and a god, and the frogskin monster is a tribe that worships totems.

The content of the picture covers a lot, from ordinary daily life, to going out hunting, to the creation of civilization, and the sacrifice of gods and spirits appear one by one.

Underneath each picture, there is a large amount of written record.

It is a type of writing made up of dots, lines, and patterns, like a stickman doing various actions. Ingres did not understand the meaning of the text, and could only speculate that it might be an ideogram that told the story of a picture.

Ingres studied it for a long time, but he didn't have any idea, and finally he could only shake his head and give up reading the text.

Even if his intuition told him that the words and pictures were important, he had no way to interpret them. If he can "understand the text" at level 2, then it is easy to decipher this basic ideogram.

But he can't "read the word", and even if he learns now, it won't be done overnight. Tricks similar to "literacy of words" and "language analysis" require a lot of knowledge accumulation and precipitation, as well as proficiency in various ideographies, pronunciations, and divine logic, which require daily accumulation and precipitation before they can be slowly formed.

Speaking of which, this is also the disadvantage of Ingres, a quick-track wizard apprentice who does not have enough knowledge, if you change to other second-level peak apprentices who have cultivated step by step, this kind of "literacy knowledge" is a necessary foundation, because of survival in the wild, adventures in secret realms, and plane conquests...... These kinds of tricks are all needed.

Ingres couldn't read it, so he could only write it down, and if he could meet other apprentices, maybe they could exchange information.

After looking at the room, Angel continued to look around, and did not find any hidden rooms. In the whole fortress, there are only two rooms, and the things are very simple. He didn't even find food supplies here.

Could it be that this is really just a concept similar to the "forest keeper's cabin"?

With nothing to gain, Angel can only leave temporarily. However, he had a vague thought in his heart, maybe the mystery of the Sea of Purification this time, as long as he found the gathering place of this group of frogskin monsters, should have an answer.

But where do froghiders congregate? That's also a question.

It is impossible to decipher the text, but based on the murals, Ingres guesses that the final promised land may be the one where the mermaid and the frogskin monster go to in the picture...... A place full of sunshine.

But when it comes to sunlight, Ingres wonders if he's guessed wrong, could it be that the place where they will eventually arrive is not at the bottom of the sea, but at the surface of the sea?

But if it's on the surface, why does this froghide live at the bottom of the sea?

After Angels left the circular fortress, he still planned to continue to explore deeper. Although he guessed that it might be the sea, he still vaguely felt that something was wrong.

He still remembered the poor apprentice in the mechanical city who was kidnapped by Froude and others, and once said, "In the most dangerous place, fight for a way out." ”

If this sentence is the "key to clearance" for the purification garden this time, the sea surface is so calm, there shouldn't be any danger, right? Unless, the frogskin monsters are all gathered on the surface of the sea, and according to their comparison or even surpassing the strength of the previous flying fish, they can indeed pose a threat to others.

However, it is impossible to confirm the location of the froghide, and Angel finds the froghide at the bottom of the sea, so he decides to continue his search at the bottom of the sea.

If you really can't find it, then say another one.

With that in mind, Ingres continued down the slope towards a deeper, darker, colder place.

......

When Ingres walked into the dark deep sea with boundless loneliness. The world of flying fish, which is about to be destroyed, is another scene.

Nausicaa was wounded, and she was badly wounded. She collapsed under a tree, letting out a long breath.

The breeze swept across her countenance, bringing up her pretty hair.

Nausicaa snorted and looked up at the golden countdown in the air. With obvious unwillingness in her eyes, it was the last hour, but she still hadn't found the so-called Sea of Purification.

Even if she speculated that there might be an exit in the sky, she didn't know how to fly, and at most she could stay in the air with the wind spiral, so how difficult would it be to leave?

Not to mention, she is now seriously injured.

When the source of magic was exhausted, she forcibly unleashed the Hurricane Spiral Cannon, although the future people chased it away. But she herself also had a slight magic backlash, even if this magic backlash was not heavy, and she could recover most of her injuries by relying on the potion, but at least she didn't have any action for a short time.

In this case, even if the Sea of Purification was not in the air, she would not have the ability to look for it again.

Moreover, she may also become a drag oil bottle for the squad.

Nausicaa smiled bitterly, she had already heard heavy footsteps not far away, and she thought that it should be Shan commanding Gank to find her.

Sure enough, a shadow blocked her view soon after.

"Nausicaa, what's wrong with you?" Shan anxiously jumped off Gank's shoulder, Nausicaa said to explore the way ahead and climb the mountains to see if there was any sea, but she didn't come back for more than half an hour, so she rushed over. As a result, Nausicaa was covered in blood and dying.

Nausicaa smiled bitterly, "I was attacked." ”

"Who?" said Sansuke, who immediately exploded when he heard this, "Where is he?"

"I've been chased away. Nausicaa shook her head, "Do you remember when I said that someone was looking at me with hostile eyes before I entered the Purification Garden?"

"That is the person who attacked you?"

Nausicaa nodded, the tall, graceful woman with the veil. She still doesn't know who the other party is, where he offended her, and even chased him to the Purification Garden.

"Damn, describe what she looks like, and if I meet her, I'll kill her at once. As she spoke, Shan tried to lift Nausicaa onto Gank's shoulder.

Nausicaa shook off her hand: "Leave me alone, you take Xiliu away, I guess it's impossible to continue......"

Before Nausicaa could finish speaking, Hiryu, who was slumped on Gank's shoulder, suddenly stretched: "Ha-yawn-"

Nausicaa and Shan looked over, and Hiryu seemed a little shy, and lowered her face: "Uh, good morning?"

......

At the beginning of the day, the edge of the sky appeared white. The dawn of a new day has arrived as promised.

The dawn is beautiful, but it may be the last dawn in this world.

There is still half an hour left in the countdown in the sky, and the numbers are still shrinking. It was like a sword of Damocles, hanging over everyone's heads, reminding them of the impending death.

Seeing that time is getting less and less, all those who have not yet found the exit are interpreting the vientiane of all beings.

Persistent people are still looking for direction, but if their heads are not bright and they can't see the fog clearly, they will eventually have to bear the punishment of hanging the sword.

Those who see the situation clearly are looking for a way to ascend to the sky. But sometimes there are ways in front of them, and no one dares to try them.

More people have chosen to go crazy. Before the NDE, they went on a rampage, as if trying to vent their panic in this way.

At some point, the earth began to tremble, and every now and then a few steps could be seen cracking and bursting with hot magma, scorching the world that was about to be shattered and sacrificed.

Lava, hurricanes, torrential rains, enchanted people, and crazy flying fish are composing the last symphony before the end of the world.

A huge blue whale floated in mid-air, and the man with fish scales in his eyebrows stood on top of the whale's head, looking at this absurd picture of the destruction of the world with interest.

The man watched for a long time, and watched very attentively.

"Jiebo, aren't you leaving?" the woman, covered in a blue cloak, suddenly walked to the man's side, muttering softly.

Jiebo smiled faintly: "What a rare scene, it's a pity to miss this time." ”

The woman in the cloak walked up to the head of the blue whale and took a red conch from the sharp corner: "The sound of the red conch has been recorded, if you want to see it in the future, you can watch it at any time." ”

Jie Bo raised his eyebrows: "I prefer to be immersive, and human suffering is my favorite picture." ”

"Still, it's too small. Jet Bo turned, "Let's go, it's almost time." In the near future, such a scene may appear in the entire Southern Regions. ”

The cloak woman's good-looking eyebrows furrowed: "Nanyu?

"You haven't forgotten the Demon God that came 10,000 years ago, have you?" said this, and he smiled softly, sending the blue whale high into the sky.

At the boundary membrane, in addition to the wizard apprentices who enter the Sea of Purification from time to time, there are also flying fish rushing into it.

When Jetpo came to the Boundary Membrane, he saw a huge ray flying into the Boundary Membrane.

Because of the size and strength of the blue whale, no other flying fish dares to approach. But the ray seemed to ignore this rule and passed through the side of the blue whale and entered the boundary membrane.

"What are you looking at?"

"A strange man, with no hands or feet, actually rode that ray into the Sea of Purification. It's kind of interesting. ”
