The appearance of the stone man is not so much a danger as a warning. They came suddenly, hostile suddenly, and subdued suddenly. But as I said before, there is a deeper reason behind these suddenness.

The world does not operate according to simple cause and effect, and behind each effect is an innumerable interweaving of causes, which in turn becomes one of a larger network of causes. In such an intricate and complex world, a sentence of cause and effect seems to encompass everything, but such a macro narrative will inevitably lead to the neglect of details.

Causes do produce effects, but their intrinsic connections are by no means as natural and unassailable as we think.

Evil gods can be the cause of all abnormalities, and His descendants can be responsible for all the changes on this sandbar.

But is that really the case? Why here? Why is it at this time? Why did he set off for the City of Ten Thousand Laws to attend an inexplicable ceremony, why did he pass through the Heavenly Tree that only appeared in the myth of the steppe people and encounter the worm evil god there?

What a coincidence, the evil god just gave birth to an heir in front of him, and the heir arrived in the city of Rushing River one step ahead of Cheese along the flowing water, where he gathered the followers and formed a base, which became the sandbar that is now comparable to a labyrinth. Fortunately, he was detected by the gray robe and tracked all the way here.

Cheese has always hated fatalism, and he doesn't believe that life in this world is put down with a mission. If this is the case, the outcome should be the same no matter how people choose their lives.

If this is the case, there will be no working people in this world, people who think, they just have to lie in the cave, anyway, what is fate will inevitably happen, and they will not have to do anything until that point comes. Of course, some people will say that fate is not absolute, and it will only start to work after people have made a corresponding choice and triggered the wheel of fate.

But where is the mechanism of fate? If this machine is so complex that it can derive an infinite number of options to derive an infinite number of futures, can this infinitely opened fate still be called fate? Or is it, no matter how fate is opened, it will eventually fall on some inevitable thing?

If that were the case, the world would be too simple, so simple that it would be boring. The gray robe did not pull up the hood again, and let the hot wind blow his black hair. His face no longer had the joy he had had felt when he had punished the stone people, because he knew that the stone people were also victims of this accident. Is it even possible that the worm heir who was waiting for him at the end of this adventure was also a victim?

For people outside of cheese, the thought of not seeing this person ran to a place where they couldn't even see the shadow in just a few moments. In their eyes, they only saw the face of the young man under the gray robe from a childlike mischievous happy face, quickly becoming gloomy, and then a little terrifying.

This time Rao is Wei Ya, and he really can't figure out what Cheese has in mind. Not to mention her, there will never be more than three people in this world who can really understand the state of mind of the mage at this time through their expressions. Even among these three people, there is not one who can really understand what Cheese is worried about and what he is suffering from. In fact, it was not just him? He was born alone.

Maybe Cheese was too heavy, or maybe his face was too serious under his hood, and no one dared to talk to him as they left the stone man and headed forward.

Although Wei Ya was deeply impressed by the spell that the gray robe had just cast, and there were some things she wanted to discuss, those who didn't know how to read words and expressions knew that now was not a good time to speak. Not to mention Lolo, who had seen how moody fellow spellcasters could be, and had consciously or unconsciously taken two steps away from Cheese to ensure that she would not fall prey to the mage's possible madness.

However, Yuni did not react, and still followed the mentor step by step, with a few sandshell people lying on his stomach.

Several of the "Click" Sandshell Figures began to pound their claws quickly and vigorously, apparently to convey some kind of important information.

"They say there's a no-go zone ahead. "In fact, there is no need for Luo Luo to explain, there is only one option that will make these children react like this. Moreover, from the ground, this so-called forbidden area does not have much sense of secrecy, and it looks like it is declaring to those who come here that this is a dangerous place. For where is there a safe area where so many tentacles will grow in the ground?

The front of the team is still sandy, and the only difference from the previous one is that the sand doesn't look like it's been deposited. In contrast to the dry yellow sand where a few people are standing now, the sand in front of it, which is gloomy and mixed with snail shells, aquatic weeds, and even water garbage, seems to have just been turned out from under the sand layer.

This is indeed the case, because between the wet sand, thick and thin tentacles rise above it like trees, and the bristles on the tentacles brush regularly, bringing the sand particles under the sand layer to the surface, looking like a group of filter feeders growing at the bottom of the water. The only problem is that these filter feeders are too big.

The Sand Crusts began to agitate, and they were not to blame, as similar carapaces could be seen in the food scraps of the wet sand, which explained what had happened to the Sand Crust people who had gone to explore the area.

For them as they move through the sand, these tentacles that towering in the sand and dust can be like deadly invisible traps, and if they get closer, they will end up with no bones left. Moreover, judging from the structure of the tentacles, they do not stay in one place, they are capable of moving their bodies on the sandbank, which explains why the sandshell people cannot escape.

"What are these? some new species?" Wei Ya frowned slightly, but didn't dare to approach the tentacles directly. Instinct told the female mage that they were extremely dangerous, though she couldn't see where the danger was coming from.

"No, they're one, at least on a biological level, they feed the same central body, like the tentacles of a jellyfish. ”

Cheese recognized the structure of the objects sticking out of the sand at first glance, and the familiarity relieved him. Now, he was pretty sure that he had found the Evil God's heir hiding here, and that he had seen its body, at least some of it.

"So they... No, is that what we're aiming for?a giant filter-eating jellyfish hiding in the sand?" the mage quickly summarized Cheese's message, and began to worry that magic wouldn't reach deep underground.

The grey robe shook his head, the heir of the evil god was never a filter-feeding creature, unless the whole world was their filter, "No, I think these things are just searching for food as much as possible, it's hungry, so you can put down your dignity and search for everything edible from the most corners." Let's not alarm it yet, destroying its tentacles here can only startle the snake, and for the body, it is not painful. ”

"Quack!"

"It's easy to say, if the size of the Sandshell Man can't pass through here without alarming it, we can't do anything about it. The dancer shook her head, it was an impossible task.

"Quack!"

"Unless someone can create a safe passage for us and lead us through. Cheese held out his finger and pointed at the frog that had been noisy between the tentacles since the beginning.

The prophecy was fulfilled. Is this the reward of previous efforts? or is it fate?
