Volume 2 Xuancai Mountains 137: Hideous

The essence of the mysterious cube was soon realized.

In a sense, it's a miniature version of the "Ice Hell" - yes, it's a real hell prison on the land of the great power of Adriel, where countless creatures have been imprisoned for their wrongdoings and evildoers.

Many of the people present were insightful, and when they realized what the miraculous creation was suspended in their field of vision, they immediately exclaimed:

"Ah, this, this is the crystallization of the spiritual power of a beastmaster...... What pure energy, it's so desirable. ”

"Shall I send you into there?" The companion next to him angrily broke a cold sentence at him, "That's the thing that just 'killed' our two companions!" ”

"Are they really dead?" Knowing the effects of the Ice Hell, Sylph forced herself to remain calm in the face of such a situation, and stretched her right hand forward slightly, questioning in an uncertain tone.

"Not necessarily ......" Behind her, Gai, who had a stronger reflex than the humans present, shook his head, and regardless of whether his movements could be observed by the people around him, he explained to himself, "They are more likely to be trapped in that cube, the Beastmaster...... He was once known as the 'Hideous' and preferred to play with the weak than to plunder their lives. ”

"For example, taking away people's memories and compiling a new memory to overlay them; Or, seal them in the ice and snow miracles that you are good at, and admire their struggles. ”

Hideous!

The pigeon monster beast chirped and said a big call, and Fang Nuo, who was still experimenting with new miracles and had no intention or interest in paying attention to the movement below, was suddenly caught by a noun in his words that had been lightly carried over.

He bowed his head as he endured the sharp pain in his left eye, refocusing his attention on the adventurers and the dove monster.

Hey? Is that cube what they found after smashing the wall?

These humans are inevitably too arrogant, so don't you worry that you will be too ruthless and directly destroy the clues that you have found so hard?

Look at the poor ...... Uh, the box? Its shell, destroyed by the miracles of humanity, is peeling off its body layer by layer, revealing its crystalline essence.

Was it the pigeon that was so shocked when it saw the opaque ice and snow box that seemed to have been carved by an unskilled craftsman, and called out the name that made him curious?

"Hideous" ...... Could it be the true name of the Beastmaster who was his predecessor?

Fang Nuo was sure that he had indeed heard Gai shout the word "Beastmaster".

But there are actually many beast kings in the world, although most of them choose to be born and live in seclusion on the beast island, but not all the beast kings mentioned by humans will be the one he has always thought about.

For example, the Dryad becomes a "Tree Spirit" after being promoted to a person, and given a little time and room to grow, this kind of "goods" can also become the Beast King - you must know that the beast clan with the name of "Tree Spirit" is already the fairy beast that the Yellow Immortals dream of becoming.

"Hideous...... Come to think of it, have I ever heard a member of the Huang Xian family mention this name before. Fang Nuo rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, trying to awaken his memory.

But how could something that he had never remembered or heard of at all have a memory in his mind?

The snow-white humanoid monster sat back in the shadow of the rock in disappointment, and through its ubiquitous atmospheric spiritual power and its own abilities, it experienced what was happening at the moment with the creatures in the canyon below.

"Which Beastmaster are you talking about?" When it comes to asking questions, humans really don't let him down, because they are equally "ignorant".

"Ah, is that the one?"

"That's right, that's the one."

It's the same when it comes to being a riddler.

And it seems to have become what they do best and love to do.

Thankfully, not all humans like this kind of dumb riddle play, and as soon as the two finished speaking, someone expressed his objection and demanded that the captain exercise his power to let the two of them finish the sentence.

Seeing this, the adventurers were no longer embarrassed to do things with low emotional intelligence in this matter, and obediently explained all the information they knew:

It turns out that in the legends of some small countries, the territory where the kingdom of Adriel is located was once a wasteland with no grass, and one day in the past, a giant beast came to that land with knowledge and resources.

The creatures that dwelt there asked for help from the marvelous creatures they had never seen before, and He was happy to show mercy to the defenseless creatures.

"Since your life is so miserable, I will give you a wonderful dream." He said so.

"How?" In the legend of the longing and malice of the small and the weak against the great, there is a human who boldly stands up and asks for more from the creatures who sympathize with them, "Dreams are a false concept after all, but if we want to survive in reality, we must be supported by things that exist in reality." ”

The giant beast in the story has a temper that is unimaginable to people today, and he agrees with the "brave" point of view, and then shows his true ability to those who are hungry for his help-

Turn "false" into "true".

As a result, the people who lived in that land called their saviors "gods", and they used the power of behemoths to create all kinds of majestic buildings, as well as all kinds of new and strange household items, luxuries, and weapons.

People walked along the wide avenues paved with the power of the beasts, admired the beautiful sights of their imaginations on both sides of the streets, and walked up the towering staircase into the golden temples they had built for their gods.

They elect a ruler to sit on the throne that should have been inhabited by their god as a messenger who spoke in God's place.

At the command of the king of humanity, the kind orcs were sealed in a "palace" made of ice and snow by their own abilities, and his planned journey around the world had to be cut off at this stop, and he paid the price for his kindness.

"We'll take care of you, so please just rest here and never leave."

After doing so, people suddenly find that they don't know what is needed for "God" to exist, but this is not too difficult for their imagination.

They think that mysterious creatures that are far larger than themselves must need more energy than them, and that humans have long since become beings who despise all living beings in this land...... Well, there is no more suitable "food" than human beings themselves.

"Humans" are the "sacrifices" needed by their gods.

The king of mankind then commanded his people to transform the palace prepared by God into a vast labyrinth, and they would stuff into it "fit people" gathered from all over the country and the world to sustain God's life.

Later, the king's successors gradually forgot the original intention of their predecessors, and regarded the building used to hold various people and creatures as a "prison", and it was from that moment that the "Ice Hell" was born.

"The people who used to live in the land of Adriel asked the name of the orcs who were eager to help them, and he told them that he was the king who controlled the concept of 'falsehood', turned 'virtual' into 'real', created all things, and was omnipotent, so call him 'true'."

"People looked at his countenance and misunderstood his language." The human who recounted the tales of his homeland buried his head slightly, feeling unworthy of the legendary beast tribe he had described.

"At that time, the pronunciation of the words 'true' and 'hideous' sounded so similar that His name was recorded in the history of mankind and translated into the languages of other nations and other civilizations, and passed down from generation to generation."

The adventurers who stood around him and listened to the story all bowed their heads, as if to think about the truth of this rumor, or to calculate the timeline of the story's development.

Fang Nuo, whose body was at the top of the cliff in the distance and whose consciousness was present at the scene, felt a tingling pain in his head inexplicably after listening to the adventurer's words, as if something alive was about to come out of his head.

"Hideous...... Hideous ......"

The Beastmaster of the Dark Forest's "omnipotent" has the ability to transmit his consciousness to different clones and let them roam around the world in place of his main body.

In his heart, as an ordinary monster, he felt indignation at the story told by the adventurer, and he also felt sad for the sacrifice of the beast in the story.

But, on the other hand, after realizing that it was only a doppelganger sent out by the Beastmaster to experience life that had been sealed and his travel plans had been destroyed, his perception of the story became a little strange and subtle.

His heart quickly regained its calm, and there was not the slightest wave.

After all, "Sling Zheng" is an example of his "doppelganger" ability, right? However, at some unknown time, it seems to have been replaced with the main body.

The Emperor of the Human Empire, Kaslano, should have had a friendship with his essence for some time...... However, he probably couldn't believe this kind of thing.

"What do I want to do so much......" Fang Nuo put his hand to his forehead, his eyes straining wide, so that the eyes of the adventurers who were connected with them could bring more sights into his mind.

Then, amused by his actions, he laughed inwardly, fell back, leaned back on the rock behind him, closed his eyes, and let his heart return to its former state of leisure.

Anyway, no matter what kind of attitude he had towards what was happening below, he would be able to see what was happening to the adventurers and monsters.

"Now, it's hard to get the pronunciation of these two names wrong." The people below began to discuss the story, "Also, the ancestors of Adriel are too chilling, even if the orcs are our enemies of humanity, I have some pity for that fellow. ”

"Hey, who can go back in time and tell Him that He was deceived by those people?" People with higher levels of empathy are already in tears.

"Stop screaming, it's just a story, and isn't it that He himself had no brains, easily believed and chose to pay for strangers?"

There are really people of all temperaments in this adventure team, and I don't know how the bearded captain usually regulates the contradictions in the team.

"Moreover, we are human beings, and we should think and see things from the perspective of our kind." The person who had just spoken added.

Sylph on the side nodded wordlessly, her movements so small that it was hard to detect even when she was standing beside her.

"As an orc, it's so easy to be used by humans...... Ignoring the story itself, isn't the Beastmaster at all wrong? "And I think he's a little arrogant, and it's funny how he says that he 'creates all things and is omnipotent.'" ”

In the same corner, where no one was paying attention, the pigeon monster Gesde Gez quietly clenched his fists.

During his time in the Holy Cross, he had not read this story from the Church's collection, and it was more complete, logical, and detailed than it could have been remembered.

Such a thing happened to the beast king who was the same beast as himself, and even had a personality higher than himself...... Even though he identified himself as a human, he was once sad and uncomfortable with the giant beast that was the soul character in this story.

Now, the Ice Hell still stands on the land of the Kingdom of Adriel, which means that the orc has not regained its freedom?

But why did the crystals of His power appear in the distant dark forest? Is the disappearance of so many humans and monsters related to the cubes he left behind?

There are still many questions waiting for them to find answers.
