Chapter 573: The Ghost Under the Abyss
Mu You pulled out the card from the clutter in the container.
The card is wrapped in a special plastic material, and the energy inside is almost not lost, so that it can be preserved intact.
As for the card itself, it's just a very ordinary 'Thunderball'.
Of course, the only one who can make and use a Mystic Card is the Mystic, so it can only be left by Taurus or Twins.
As for who it is, you'll find out by trying.
Mu You took out a pair of tarot cards from the ring, stretched out his hand and spread them out, all the cards floated up in unison, flying quickly in front of him, connected end to end, forming a circular formation.
The secret magic card in Mu You's hand was placed in the center of the circular circle by him, and it also automatically suspended like other cards.
After a few moments, three cards in a row, one after another, broke away from the card array and converged in one place in the center of the formation, overlapping each other and spinning rapidly.
This technique is an auxiliary divination formation that Vivien once demonstrated when he was first learning divination, which can greatly improve the range and accuracy of divination.
At that time, he could only watch the excitement, and even the divination elephant couldn't understand it at all.
Now, however, he has inherited Linglong's memories in their entirety.
In the four thousand years of the Garden of Bitterness, although Linglong was not as diligent as the medicine pickers, the practice of divination had never been abandoned, and after four thousand years, no matter how poor the foundation was, it had reached an extremely high level.
The card array rotated in the air for a minute or two before slowly stopping, and in a short interval, Mu You had already deciphered the meaning of the card array.
As expected, this secret card was indeed made by the Golden Bull.
The final result of the divination was located somewhere beneath a deep-sea rock formation, thousands of kilometers away from Moscow.
This kind of extremely remote location, if you don't use divination, you may not be able to find it for several years, and it is not known how the Taurus discovered this place.
Mu You said to the reception staff, walked out of the warehouse, registered briefly outside, and took the card.
An hour later, the herb picker received a message from Mu Youtuo and returned to Earth from the ancient well in Fuya's hometown.
"Found a place?" The herb picker climbed out of the wellhead on the outskirts of K City and saw Mu You waiting here.
"Found it, in Russia." Mu You shook the map in his hand. The divination just now only calculated an approximate location, and the specific divination will be carried out after going to the local area.
"Let's go, then." The herb picker nodded, not surprised, the spatial rift can exist in any corner of the earth, and it is not bad if they are not brushed in the magma in the center of the earth.
After receiving the medicine collector, Mu You directly teleported to the vicinity of the black hole in Europe, flew to the target sea area by the way, and conducted several detailed divination on the bottom of the sea before finally determining the location.
The whole process took the two of them more than half a day.
By the time the two finally found the prophesied cave, it was already evening.
In the cold cave, Mu You and the herb pickers landed in turn and landed on the slippery ground.
This underground space under the deep sea is illuminated by the fluorescent minerals on the rock walls on both sides.
As soon as the two of them entered the cave, they immediately noticed the long, narrow blue spatial crack at the end of the cave.
This spatial crack, which was only less than half a meter long, grew abruptly in the rock peaks of the stalactites in front of it, and the entangled and distorted spatial turbulence in it was like a blue eye, peeking at the opposite world through the crack.
A few meters in front of the passage, a corpse that had almost decomposed fell to the ground, still climbing towards the crack, and leaning out of the crack in front of him with one hand.
Based on the state of this corpse alone, Mu You could also imagine how desperate he was before he died, it was only a few meters away from his life, but it seemed that he could never cross the moat.
Mu You and the herb picker stepped forward, no one paid attention to the corpse on the ground, and walked straight to the front of the crack.
This rift was not completely open, and it was clearly different from the rift I had seen in Japan before, and the spatial rift in Japan could see directly through the rift at that time and see the scene of the opposite world.
Inside this crack, however, there is only a deep and meandering spatial turbulence, which is in a state of half-opening.
"It's a little dangerous, but it should be fine to walk through." The herb picker said after looking at it for a while.
Mu You also nodded. The current strength of the two of them already has a good idea of the load they can bear, at least the spatial turbulence in front of them will not kill them.
"I'll go over and have a look."
After Mu You finished speaking, he switched the vampire skin, activated the 'God Speed', and then activated the Fool Card on the spot.
Under the double acceleration, everything in front of him became extremely slow, and the trajectory of the spatial turbulence in front of him was also clearly presented in front of his eyes.
Mu You observed for a few seconds, waited for a suitable time, and directly rushed in, quickly sinking into the crack.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in another dimension, unharmed.
As soon as he landed, he immediately felt an incomparably powerful pressure, blessing his body from all directions, as if countless sandbags were hanging from his body.
Mu You frowned, tried to raise his right hand and clenched his fist, this kind of gravity level, physique and strength attributes are slightly poor, it will be difficult to move an inch here.
He also fused the divine bones, plus the attributes of the vampire's skin after being doubled, so he was not affected too much.
A few seconds later, the herb picker also came out of the crack behind him, rolled over, and landed beside Mu You, and immediately felt the pressure as soon as he landed.
His attributes are far inferior to Mu You, and his every move is obviously sluggish, as if he is stuck in a quagmire, his forehead is sweaty, and it is difficult to get up.
Mu You was not in a hurry, he stopped in place and waited for a while, the herb picker finally got used to it and could get up and move normally, but his movements were still obviously a little stiff.
"This pressure, at least seven layers!" The herb picker said categorically.
He had personally descended into the abyss before, and had explored as far as the third layer.
And based on the change in gravity of each layer, he can probably estimate it. This should be between the seventh and eighth floors, the lowest level of the abyss that living beings can explore at the moment.
Further down, it's not an environment where normal creatures can survive, unless it's the kind of creature that is extremely full of stress resistance, it's possible to give it a try.
After initially adapting to the pressure, the two had time to look up at the environment.
In front of me is a very rugged underground space, as if it has been torn open by some great force, and the towering rocky peaks and deep rifts crisscross it, forming a sinister landscape with no regularity. The rift was filled with billowing lava flows, and those red-hot red magma shimmered dangerously in the darkness.
The air was filled with the stench of sulphur and damp earth, a dull and suffocating feeling, with occasional shrill roars and terrible screams coming from the depths of the abyss, which was instinctively creepy.
"Roar!"
Before the two of them could take a few steps, a roar suddenly sounded, and an abyssal demon dog with two heads and horns on its forehead rushed out of the darkness of the rock wall, fangs and claws, and pounced on the two of them.
However, before they could get close to the two of them, the giant arm summoned by Mu You flew to the other side with a slap.
"Whew......"
The demon dog screamed, rolled to the ground, planted a few heels, hurriedly shook his head and got up, and continued to grin at the two, but he didn't dare to rush up again, obviously he had already felt that the strength of the two was far above it.
The two of them didn't bother with a dog, and continued to explore forward.
Along the way, more and more abyssal creatures appeared, in different forms, from jellyfish-like molluscs to liger beasts, but more often than not, various slender-legged insects, and long-horned and winged abyssal demons.
The ground was covered with the bones of wild beasts, and the crunch of stepping on it was so crunchy that it was impossible to hide it.
The two of them walked all the way through the beast bones all over the ground, and the demons and abyssal monsters on both sides stared at each other, and their low roars were connected.
Finally, one of the humanoid demons couldn't hold back and jumped up and launched a sneak attack on the two of them.
And this time it was like a signal, and countless little demons in the rear came out together and pounced on the two of them.
Mu You directly opened the divine skin, one in each hand, and tore apart the two little demons in front of Chong, and the arc sword was also condensed in the medicine picker's hand, stabbing at the humanoid demon......
After a while, the few remaining little demons fled the scene screaming, and the other abyssal creatures around them also retracted their heads in fear, not daring to show a provocative aura anymore.
At this moment, in the same place, a large number of demon stumps were placed horizontally, and the ground was already red with the blood of the monster, Mu You dropped the demon head in his hand casually, and swept it around coldly.
The monsters around them, who were still roaring, suddenly fell silent and silently retreated a little farther away.
From the eyes of these monsters at the beginning, the two of them could feel that the bloody law of the jungle was followed here, and the rule of the jungle was taken to the extreme, once they showed a little weakness or retreated in front of these monsters, they would be immediately regarded as weak, until they were eaten and wiped clean.
So neither of them left their hands and dismembered this wave of monsters in the bloodiest way. Under this demonstration, these abyssal monsters finally relented a little.
Next, the two walked all the way, and the demons and abyssal creatures along the way all consciously retreated far away and got out of the way.
Soon, the two of them saw the platform in the depths of the space, and a crystal throne stood on the platform.
On the cliff opposite the throne, there is also a projected curtain, in which the video screen is playing on a loop, showing a very old movie - "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village".
And the only audience seated on the throne at this moment was a woman with black hair and white clothes, judging from the silhouette of her body, it looked like the golden bull that the two had seen, but the woman was motionless at this time, leaning on the back of the chair a little crookedly, as if she was asleep.
Mu You and the herb picker glanced at each other and stepped forward quickly, but until the two of them came to the throne, the woman in the seat still didn't move.
The herb picker stepped forward and lifted the woman's falling black hair, and what was exposed under the hair was a miserable white human face, with prominent eye sockets and no trace of blood, which did not look like a living person.
The herb picker frowned, and then put his finger in front of the woman's neck......
"It's dead...... the herb picker shook his head at Mu You, this is not just dead, he has been dead for a long time.
"Wouldn't it? Are we late? ”
Mu You's face was strange, when the Taurus appeared for the last time, although it looked like he was injured, he was still alive and well, why didn't he see him for more than a month, so he hung up directly?
"You are indeed late, according to the agreement, you are more than a thousand years late!"
At this moment, a somewhat familiar voice came from high in the sky.
Both of them subconsciously turned their heads and looked at the screen on the other side of the mountain wall.
In the picture, a woman with black hair and white clothes is standing in front of the old house in the mountain village, looking directly at the two of them, and then crawling out of the screen...... First an arm, then a head, body, legs, feet, and ...... covered by long hair
A few seconds later, a ghostly long-haired woman actually appeared in front of the mountain wall, floating towards the throne, and finally disappeared directly into the female corpse on the throne.
And with the influx of ghosts, the female corpse's originally godless eyes suddenly moved, and then the limbs squirmed, like marionettes, from the legs, to the body, and then to the arms, in a crackling sound of bones, she stood up stiffly, put her hands on her neck, moved her head, and finally regained some vitality.
"Taurus?" Mu You asked.
"It's me." The woman nodded, and the sound that came out of her mouth was the voice of the golden bull at the meeting.
Mu You's shame, your debut is really shocking, I don't know that I thought Sadako was making a sequel.
"You know I'm coming?" Mu You recalled what Taurus had just said, saying that he was 'more than a thousand years late', which made him a little confused.
"Of course, I felt it the other day when the Heart of the Machine fell from the abyss." The woman said.
"Do you know the heart of the machine?" Mu You was surprised.
"Of course, in fact, I have been the operator of the Mechanical Heart for a long time in the past, and I came into contact with the Mechanical Heart much earlier than you." The woman said.
"You...... Who exactly is it? Mu You asked.
"I'm not human, I'm a ghost of a ghost clan...... Of course, now I am just a corpse that has lost its physical body. ”
After the woman finished speaking, she picked up a strand of hair on her chest: "As for this body, I picked it up, a human explorer hundreds of years ago, strayed here, I originally wanted to ask her for help, but before I could speak, she was scared to death by me, I simply borrowed her body to help her live." ”
The woman moved her stiff arm as she spoke, and said with emotion: "The power of the ghost can easily control things in the air, but without a physical body, many things are still inconvenient......
"Ghost ......"
Mu You tried hard to recall the name of this race, but he couldn't think of any information: "I haven't heard of ......"
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because the ghost race is the first extinct race in the astral spirit realm, and it has disappeared from the astral spirit realm tens of thousands of years ago, and there can be no record in your era......," the woman said.
"The First Race...... So, you've also been in the Garden of Eden? Mu You asked.
The first extinct race, that is, the period when the Protoss had just been exterminated. Because the astral spirit realm was unmaintained, the races began to become extinct one by one.
And the duty of the underground robots is to preserve those extinct races, and the first extinct ghost race must have also been connected to the Garden of Eden.
"I was imprisoned in the Garden of Eden for tens of thousands of years, and it was only at this age that I escaped with the help ......of outsiders," Taurus said.
"What's going on?" Mu You asked about business.
Since she was one of the first creatures to enter the Garden of Eden, she supposedly should know all about the Garden of Eden.
