Chapter 44: Escape
The two-legged one looked over: "What are you two doing!" I feel like you've been standing there for a century! Why did that white lion bite me! Didn't you go and call for help! Why does it keep chasing me! β
"It's only been 10 seconds! I'm pinching it! "Shang Luo has been clocking out. He had only had to go through the flow of information in his head when he had spoken to Apollonia before, so the two of them could communicate very quickly. A few hundred words can be explained in just 10 seconds.
"10 seconds? Do you know how I got over these ten seconds? This lion runs faster than my master! I can't hold it anymore! Tell him to stop! β
"Lolo!" Shang Luo shouted, and the white lion stopped. The spear of the sun god was still in its mouth, and the lion's head was twisted back with the hideousness of a beast.
Seeing Shang Luo, an acquaintance, the lion's expression softened slightly. He left Wen Yuan aside and walked towards here. Lion's eyes stared at him intently, and stiffened at a height, walking on tiptoe on all four legs in an almost cat-like stride. This is a posture that is common to both big cats and small cats to prepare for attack.
[It's angry, it thinks you're lying to it.] It's coming to settle the score, but it seems to have a little patience, and it's going to listen to your explanation before biting in. γ
"Lolo! Calm down! Can you understand me? If you're willing to listen to me, just stand there and wait! β
He still didn't know how much the lion could understand. Phaetong is the son of God, a demigod. The demigod's pet must have some human qualities, not just beasts.
Previously, the lion named Lolo had picked up the car door by himself, had come to fetch things by himself, and knew what was guarding his master's belongings. This obedience has surpassed that of many dogs, at least far exceeding the average level of huskies.
But obedience does not mean intelligence. He wasn't sure if the lion could understand himβ
Lolo stopped. His brow furrowed, as if he was thinking.
Now Shang Luo can be sure that this guy can indeed understand. Because it is impossible for an ordinary lion to have such a rich expression.
After a little thought, Luo Luo still walked over, but the "lock" on his neck was lifted, and the soles of his feet all fell to the ground.
Shang Luo, who had fed the cat, knew that at least the big cat didn't think of himself as a mouse for now, and would not pounce on it at any time.
...
"So this lion is, the lion she raised?" Wen Yuan, who approached her, was still a little apprehensive, "Let me tell you, this lion is definitely not ordinary!" It is impossible for an ordinary lion to grow so big, and it is impossible for him to run so fast! β
"I know, it's still holding grudges. So what's going on? Why is it all black? β
"It's a long story... No, it's not long. Come with me, it's just three forks in front, not far from the elevator. Come with me and watch your step. It's dark, but it's still in that basement. Just stick to the wall on the left and follow me, and don't worry if you see me disappear, it's because I turned a corner. As for the lions..."
He looked at the lion and then at Shang Luo: "Can it understand me?" This is supposed to be a spirit animal. β
"It can, but it doesn't necessarily want to... No problem, it followed, indicating that it was willing. β
Two with two legs, one with four legs, and one without legs, made up 4 "people" with 8 legs, groping in the boundless darkness. This is indeed the same basement, and you can even feel the closed portals around it, and you can occasionally kick "soft" things on your feet. But all the light is sucked away, so that nothing can be seen.
Of those who still have light, there are only four of them left.
"Here it is, this is it. She's become like this. Wen Yuan leaned on a corner of the wall in the darkness and stretched out his hand to point to a darker place.
Shang Luo walked behind him and saw the culprit of all this-
A life-size stone statue stands there, standing at a three-way intersection. The stone statue has three faces, each facing the three phases of the intersection. The torch is held aloft in the right hand on all three sides, but the left hand holds a book, a dagger, and a rope.
Shang Luo also saw another bright light: at the end of the corridor, there were still traces of lightning bombardment on the wall, and the electric light was still dancing in the darkness. The light there has not yet been sucked away.
"Is this Phaethon?"
"Yes." Wen Yuan nodded, "The situation at that time was like this-I used the token to send a five-thunder curse. The token is made by Dao Ancestor, and even a rookie like me can draw out the power of the Five Thunder Righteous Law of the Jindan Period. That's why she was split like this. β
"And then?"
"I've been standing here ever since, and I'm not afraid to walk around in the dark, so I'm just waiting for you to come back. I waited a few moments before I saw a golden light flash from the corner of the wall. I thought I was a rescuer, but this guy was so good, he chased me and bit me as soon as we met! It's like I killed his own father! β
"Hey, calm down! It can understand it! Mr. Lolo, you tooβ" He turned back to grab the grumpy lion, but Lolo ignored it. Seeing the stone statue again, it silently walked up and crouched beside the stone statue. Just like that.
"He recognized it." Shang Luo shook his head, "But then again, I haven't recognized it yet. Is this Phaethon? Why is it not like it at all? β
"I've seen her become like this with my own eyes, or I wouldn't have believed it."
[Ahh This is. Sure enough, she had already drawn into the depths of the entropy path. This is the appearance of the three-phase god Hecate - the three-phase Hecate, the god of 'luck and decay', the night god of ancient Greek mythology. Her idol will be erected at the fork in the road, ruling over luck, night, spirits, witchcraft, and the dead. She has completely fallen into the abyss of the entropy path. In other words, she agreed. The god of luck and decay is actually the god of entropy. γ
Shang Luo shared this information.
"Hedao? Ah, I see. Wen Yuan understood first, "What did the machine spirit tell you?" She understands it. The ultimate of the path of cultivating immortals is to refine the Void and Merge the Dao, that is, to merge with the Great Dao, regardless of each other. I have reached the ultimate state of 'I am the world, and the world is me'. But that alone doesn't make sense, because being everywhere is the same as not existing. The key to harmony is to maintain the existence of 'me', so that we can reach the ultimate of freedom and freedom and sanctification in the avenue. β
"So she's like this..."
"It's all turned into stone statues, and it's obviously not a good idea at all. If the realm is not enough and you suddenly merge with the path, it will become like this. The sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, they are all Taos. But do you want to become a mountain fixed there? Poor thing... Wretched. It's just a pity that she's pitiful, and she has to affect us. We've got to find a way to get out and not be stoned here with her. In addition, you have to take out your chances. This is the opportunity to be able to poke the 'Harmony Dao' with one rod, it is the supreme Dao foundation, but the pill has not met its master. Take it out and put it away quickly, and eat it when the time is right. Remember that after becoming holy, I will order the mixed yuan dao fruit to try it. β
