Chapter Twenty-Five: Drowning Skeletons

There were still five hours before the arrival of the third wave of monsters, and the physical exhaustion and mental weakness made Cheng Shentie's will a little difficult to beat, and after hastily nibbling two loaves of bread, he couldn't help but doze off for a while.

However, perhaps it was the mental pressure brought about by his cranky thoughts that made him have a terrible dream.

He dreamed that he had become one of the vast floating corpses in the deep sea, cold, dead silence, enveloping him, and even his thinking ability was frozen, and he could only float up and down with the current aimlessly.

Time seems to freeze here.

Cheng Shen was also frozen at this moment.

He looked straight ahead, his eyes were blank, but the clothes on his body seemed to have suddenly undergone a long evolution, and in the blink of an eye, they became old and decayed, and then his body began to rot...

It wasn't until a second before the rot spread to his skull that his cloudy, pale eyes suddenly moved.

Subsequently.

Cheng Shen looked down.

His gaze seemed to penetrate the layers of the sea of corpses, and fell into the depths of the dark seabed, which was the last layer of the sea of corpses, Cheng Shen saw the female corpse in the well, and there were countless existences like her.

They are all around each other.

As if performing some kind of sacrificial ritual, it surrounds a high platform.

On the high platform,

There seems to be a statue of a god.

……

[The third wave of siege monsters will arrive in three hours!] 】

[Please be prepared to defend! 】

……

An electronic voice ringing in the depths of his mind suddenly woke him up.

"Hah......!"

Cheng Shen gasped and got up from the bed, and many negative emotions such as panic, fear, and horror only then surfaced in his heart.

This dream is so real,

It was so real that he could feel the feeling of his body rotting!

Suddenly, his expression became extremely ugly, he touched the clothes on his body that seemed to be soaked in seawater and emitted a fishy smell, and his brain was as if it had been hit by a giant hammer, and he couldn't recover for a long time.

"Yes...... Is it real......"

Cheng Shen swallowed dryly.

At this time, he realized that if he didn't wake up at the last moment, he would really die in that deep sea! Although the female corpse in the well has left, the strange curse has been conveyed to him!

He's going to die at any moment!

Nervous.

Despair.

Go to pieces.

Cheng Shen didn't expect his emotions to be so out of control.

Half a day.

He gradually calmed down.

"Cursed...... I see...... Is this the power of weirdness......"

He muttered.

Unexplained, without warning, unreasonable, saying that if you want to die, you must die, and the difference between resistance is the question of dying early and dying later.

Cheng Shen suddenly understood why the system had selected so many survivors one after another, but they had not achieved its purpose, in the face of such a terrifying force, let alone fighting, it was not easy to just live.

"At least...... Alive. ”

Cheng Shen gritted his teeth.

This was the first goal he set for himself.

Even if he knew the weird and terrible, he would never sit still, and when that day came, even if he committed suicide, he would not let himself die at the hands of the curse! His life can only be in his own hands!

Come to think of it.

Cheng Shen immediately recorded the time he had been asleep just now.

One hour and forty minutes.

After this time, his body in his sleep will completely decay, Cheng Shen doesn't know what will happen, but it is expected that it will not be a good thing, and the brain death in the dream is not something that has not happened in reality.

To be on the safe side, he pushed the time forward another ten minutes.

After that, he would never sleep for more than an hour and a half at a time.

Taking off his wet clothes, Cheng Shen set them up next to the bonfire to dry the water.

His form has returned.

Think for a moment.

Cheng Shen continued to start what he had just unfinished.

The strengthening of the parchment scroll made a guess in his mind ready to try, and he slowly approached the well within five meters, staring at the miserable white face, which was the farthest distance that his natural ability could exert itself.

Energy Mastery!

A divine light rose from Cheng Shen's eyes, and he controlled the ethereal spiritual perception and slowly broke through the boundary of the black fog at the wellhead.

Suddenly.

His consciousness seemed to fall into a deep sea, shrouded in biting cold, exactly the same as the feeling in his dream, Cheng Shen did not dare to take risks, only in the black fog at the mouth of the well, extracted a wisp as slender as silk.

He immediately unfolded the parchment roll and wrapped it in.

How to fuse.

He doesn't understand either.

Cheng Shen can only try this stupid way.

If not, he'd have to try to dismantle the seal on the parchment and set foot in a realm he had never touched, and risk unleashing the curse in the parchment completely.

But luckily,

Or rather, that's what the parchment rolls do.

When Cheng Shen unfolded the parchment roll again, the wisp of cursed energy had disappeared, and the dark traces that had been sealed in the formation had become a little thicker.

Cheng Shen's spiritual power was drained again.

But he held on and glanced at the state of the parchment.

The seal is strong.

Just a hint of the infusion of cursed energy seemed insignificant to it.

But that's the limit of what he can do.

Summon!

Cheng Shen gave instructions in his heart.

Swish!

The dark gray energy intertwined into a whirlpool in the sky above the parchment roll, faintly visible, and a statue of a god stood in the depths of the whirlpool, and this time, compared to when he used it before, Cheng Shen smelled a fishy smell like a sea breeze.

Click.

Click.

Two drenched skeleton servants emerged from the whirlpool, the water coming from them, their joints connected to a spring, and a fishy liquid constantly flowed out.

Cheng Shen could feel that their aura was completely different.
