Chapter 431: Canyons, Forests, and Abysses
"Teacher, you look so good."
"Why do you say that?"
"Maybe it's because I personally like the combination of metal elements and flesh, and this metal openwork mask looks so handsome! And it's very suitable for here,
As a neutral group in the Old World, the Monks of Pain will not be ostracized on the side of the dead.
Any individual in the Old World, no matter what life or death, no matter what form it takes, as long as it seriously threatens the proliferation of the world and the development of epidemics, so that their "sins" exceed the limit, they will be wanted and arrested by the Afflicted Monastery.
The monks were then allowed to travel to any area where the criminals might be present, including the source area, and local personnel had to assist them in apprehending the prisoners.
Wearing such a face covering, which will not only increase the prestige of the teacher, but also not be rejected by the deceased, is a very good attire...... Of course, the most important thing is to look good. ”
"Okay, let's go."
When the black leather shoes took a step forward, there was a feeling of passing through the barrier, and the black mouth city with the dead hanging behind him disappeared in an instant, and the temperature plummeted to minus 40 °C.
The darkness came like a tide, and was finally blocked by the white light between the candles five meters away.
Yi Chen not only did not have any fear, but was very amazed by such a dark performance.
"Thirteen, is this the case in the Darkest Places?"
"It can only be said that in a similar way, according to the book and my previous experience, the darkness of the Darkest Lands is more manic, unrestrained, and does not appear in such a regular and uniform tidal pattern."
"Well, let's explore it if we have a chance in the future."
"Okay~ Teacher, I am also eager to explore the mysteries of the darkness, after all, my original intention and duty to be made is to explore the darkness.
Next, we need to pay special attention to the issue of time when we go deep into the territory of the deceased......"
As she spoke, Thirteen unbuttoned the top two buttons of her garment, revealing the hourglass device embedded in her chest, and the sand contained in it was very special and shimmering.
"The realm of the dead beyond the Valley of the Bonfire, even time itself is aging,
It is rumored that time in the depths of the original tomb is completely dead, and if we don't pay attention to the problem of time, it is very likely that we will age with time, and by the time we come out, the outside world may have passed dozens or even hundreds of years.
In short, as long as you stay connected with me, you can regain your sense of time.
If you are forced to separate, you have to figure out how to calculate the time yourself, and you must not forget the concept of time. ”
"Does Time Grow Old and Die...... I know. ”
Yi Chen is not very afraid of this, he has a strong personal sense of time, and he was once able to escape from the orphanage because he was able to generate a perfect clock in his brain.
It's the same now, a brain clock is carved directly into the brain, and the flow of black liquor gives a hydraulic drive.
After a brief exchange, the two officially went inward,
The long canyon passage is beyond imagination, and it took a whole day to finally get through, and if you can have a decent mount, you can save a lot of time.
Walking out of the canyon, the range of light also widens.
The effective visual range has been increased to about 50 meters, and it can barely be seen within 100 meters.
However, the ember eyes provided by the small grapes can increase the effective visual distance to a kilometer, catching any danger that may come to them.
Strangely, there were no dead people as far as the eye could see.
Obviously, outside the mountains before, whether it was the Black Mouth Fortress or the plain area, there were traces of the dead.
Now through the mountains and valleys to reach the real realm of the dead, not a single dead person can see it, there is only one tombstone of different sizes, and some huge tombstones even reach a height of tens of meters.
"Huh? These tombstones are actually growing......"
Yi Chen looked down at a normal-sized tombstone beside him, and found through perspective that the part of the tombstone buried in the ground actually grew arm-like 'tree roots', constantly absorbing nutrients.
Moreover, these tombstones do not correspond to corpses, they are just a kind of 'dead thing' that grows here as a kind of 'dead thing'.
The little grapes born in the cemetery also crawled out at the first time, and the black hair on their bodies stood up.
"Wow! This place is just amazing! If I can be buried here for a long time, I may be able to unlock more memories and awaken more ancient corpses in my body. ”
Yi Chen also added: "Indeed, this place is very suitable for you, wait until I meet with the original deceased, and see if I can fight for you a deceased identity." ”
"Yes! The stronger the grapes are, the stronger they are...... There seems to be something standing in front of you that doesn't belong to a tombstone, so let's go over and take a look. ”
Follow the visual instructions given by the little grapes and find a street sign with ancient words engraved on it giving the name of the current area [Tombstone Forest].
In addition, there are seven stone pointing signs growing on it, each pointing to a different area, but there is no clear place name identification, and all pointing signs only have one word written on them - [tomb].
"What does this mean......"
Thirteen on the side stretched out his hand and scratched her head candle,
"It is rumored that in addition to the original tomb, there are six other underground graves in the realm of the dead...... Those who wake up in the Tombstone Forest will stand where we are now and make important 'choices'.
Once a graveyard is selected, it can no longer be changed.
Different cemeteries correspond to different functions of the deceased, and I don't know what they are, but in short, the best choice is naturally the original tomb, after all, it is the source epidemic area where the original deceased is located. ”
"There are seven cemeteries, once selected, you can't change them...... As a visitor, are the rules the same? If it's the same, it's a bit more difficult, and if you don't choose the original tomb, you will miss a lot of opportunities, and you may even encounter danger.
Small grapes! Maximize vision and adjust to a level of clarity that can resolve the state of the dead bacteria. ”
As the ash eyes opened in the center of the eyebrows, with Yi Chen's own eye pupils for single-point focusing, the bacterial communities that used flagella to spit out thick fog were all in view.
Although these microflora are found in all corners of the forest, their concentration gradients and flow directions are different, and there are also differences in morphological structure of the microflora flowing to different cemeteries.
Yi Chen combined with the aerosol bacillus necrogenol released by Dead Spine Lake, and soon found a batch of colony groups with a high degree of similarity and the most primitive bacterial structure.
"Here, follow me!"
Following the flow of the flora, the terrain between the tombstone forests descended further and further down until it ......
"Teacher, be careful!"
Thirteen suddenly reached out and grabbed the hem of Yi Chen's clothes, pulling the teacher back with all his might.
Yi Chen came back to his senses at this time, his vision changed from the microcosm to the macrocosm, and his eyes were no longer a tombstone forest, but an abyss, and just now one of his feet had stepped out.
"I just ......"
"Teacher, you should be overly focused on one thing, causing your attention to die and fall into a state of disorientation."
"The area where the dead lived is really difficult to adapt, who would have thought that the edge of the forest corresponds to a cliff and an abyss, and the original tomb is actually under it?
There is no way to walk down the area, so can you only climb? ”
Thirteen nodded, "Teacher, your choice should be right, it is rumored that the original tomb is located in the deepest part of the deceased's location...... I didn't expect to be under such an abyss.
Watch out, there's the most dangerous and terrible lair of the dead. ”
"Well, by the way, can you climb down Thirteen?"
Thirteen stared into the depths with her hollow, candlelit eyes, "It's a little difficult...... A lot of the parts in my body were about to break and the adhesive was failing. ”
"I'll try to buy you some materials to strengthen it later, come and put it on my back."
By the time Thirteen climbed on his own back,
Yi Chen immediately activated the ability of the needle chain, causing all his fingers and toes to grow spikes, and he headed towards the bottom of the abyss in the form of rock climbing.
