Chapter 292: The Curse of the Material Universe (Part II)
Under the leadership of Hassard.
The group continued along a tunnel deep in the cave towards the ancient ruins.
It has to be said that after passing through the cave, the road has become much easier to walk, and after passing through this naturally formed underground tunnel, everyone walked about 500 meters deeper, and then came to a spiral staircase where traces of artificial carving can be seen everywhere.
The stairway goes down.
Down to the depths of the earth.
Jegtos, the strongest of them, and Hazard, who led the way, walked in the front, and everyone lined up to go down in turn, and with every step they could hear the strange sound of the stairs under their feet.
At first, everyone was frightened when they heard this strange sound similar to the breaking of the ice surface, but after some very careful inspection, it was determined that there was nothing wrong with the stairway, and everyone dared to relax and continue to go deeper, but their mentality was not as relaxed as before.
"The tree is here to guard his grave?" Chen Jing and Chen Bofu were both walking in the middle, chatting in a low voice at the moment.
"Maybe." Chen Bofu nodded.
"Look at that tree, it's quite powerful, I thought killing it would explode some equipment or something......" Chen Jing said with a look of loss, waving his right hand shrouded in golden holy light, and the shadows reflected by everyone on the ground couldn't help but shake.
Although everyone present was of old descent, and the small skill of secretly seeing things had been learned a long time ago, Chen Jing still couldn't help but want to take something to illuminate when he walked in such a place where he couldn't see his fingers.
"These things on the wall are so strange......" Tsukano Kushiro walked about two steps in front of Chen Jing, he followed the team while looking at the black marks on the stone wall, and there was a hint of vigilance in his tone, "They seem to be alive, and they are squirming all the time......"
As Tsukano Kushiro said, from the moment they entered this spiral staircase, they found many of these burn-like marks on the stone wall, but listen to Hassad's explanation...... These things seem to be some kind of mold that survives in the old days.
"A lot of the old relics have these things." Chen Bofu was not surprised, it was not the first time he had seen this kind of thing, "Some molds that have survived to this day with the energy of the old era are harmful to ordinary humans, but they are not harmful to the old descendants. ”
Hearing the old man's popular science, Tsukano Kushiro was obviously relieved, but Chen Jing, who was walking behind him, did not relax his vigilance at all.
Although Chen Jing has never shown it.
But his heart actually hung in the air from beginning to end.
Because he felt it all ...... It went so well.
An ancient relic where the old king is buried, is it really only an inexplicable strange tree to be guarded?
Or is this all about thinking too much about yourself, and some of the meaning of the bow and snake shadow?
After all, not every ancient relic is as scary as the Yellow King's Courtyard.
"Come and see! There are murals here! ”
Hearing the exclamation of Hassard at the front of the group, the people walking behind couldn't help but subconsciously speed up their pace.
When Chen Jing came to Hassad's side, he saw that the old man had already put on his glasses and was lying on the wall to study, as if he was enjoying something fascinating, and his face was fascinated.
"I didn't expect to see the mural I've been looking for so early...... It's so beautiful...... This is the most beautiful thing in the world! ”
"It's ...... Mural? ”
Chen Jing looked at the incave paintings on the wall in disbelief, and only felt that this old man was crazy, and these weird and distorted patterns on the wall ...... Where does the word "beautiful" fit?
He must be crazy.
Chen Jing firmly believes.
Eighty percent of the patterns on the walls are intertwined with a myriad of twisted lines and geometric figures of unknown significance, and the remaining two are eerie abstract paintings.
Perhaps the artist who painted this long mural was also a madman, and his minimalist brushstrokes, which he had cultivated by deviating from the right track, could make people feel cold in their bones just by underlining.
Countless bizarre creatures that are difficult to describe in words or even unimaginable are now vividly appearing on the wall, as if the "painter" only instantly pulled everyone back to that crazy era, allowing everyone to witness with their own eyes how terrifying the blasphemous monsters were.
Judging from the normal aesthetic perspective of human beings, the skill of the painter who painted this long mural is by no means exquisite, and it can even be called poor and unaesthetically devoid......
The man who painted this long mural.
It must be a "creature" whose painting skills have reached the pinnacle.
It is only a few rough lines and strange geometric shapes that are put together to inspire fear in the deepest part of the human DNA, as if the twisted and abstract creatures it depicts are real and alive in front of the eyes.
At this moment, everyone was as if they were enchanted.
While walking deeper into the stairway like a walking corpse, he watched uncontrollably at this "magnificent and beautiful" epic picture.
The more you look.
The more I feel that my initial aesthetic level is simply rubbish.
How can this minimalist painting be considered shoddy?
It is clear that it is delicate and real to the extreme!
"Something is wrong......"
Chen Jing suddenly came to his senses without warning, and suddenly turned his gaze away from the mural.
Only then did he realize that the enchanted crowd had reached the edge of the stairway, and one more step to the side was the bottomless abyss.
Although everyone present is of old descent.
An accidental fall from a height doesn't necessarily kill you either.
But his intuition told Chen Jing that it was not so simple, and that this long-form painting was a trap...... It was leading the crowd towards the unknowable abyss in the middle of the spiral staircase!
In just an instant, the deep space energy in Chen Jing's body turned into countless golden long lines and flew out, wrapping around everyone with lightning speed until they pulled them back from the edge of the abyss......
And at this very moment.
The abyss, engulfed in darkness, suddenly lit up.
Chen Jing stood at the edge of the stairway, and immediately saw what was shining inside.
Yes.
It's the starry sky that everyone first saw.
It's as if this stairway is a passage through two spaces.
Taking a step back is the real world.
The next step is the indescribable vastness of the universe.
"When did you wake up?!"
At this moment, Chen Jing's voice sounded in his mind again, and listening to "his" tone, he seemed to be very frightened, as if he was frightened by what had happened before.
"I called for a long time and you didn't respond!"
"Just woke up." Chen Jing's heart was beating fast, and his face was palpitating.
"You were woken up by me??" The "he" in his mind asked.
"No, it's not."
Chen Jing turned his head to look at a familiar pattern in the mural.
Although the shape is minimalist and the lines are abstract, Chen Jing can still recognize at a glance the identity of the monster that is holding the corpse of a certain creature and frantically gnawing.
That's right.
That's Baiaji!
"That state of total immersion...... I guess I was hypnotized......" Chen Jing muttered to himself, quite scared when he remembered everything that had happened before, "This painting is used to kill the intruder...... It should be ......"
"So how the hell did you wake up??" The "he" in my mind is still a little puzzled.
"Play."
Chen Jingyan replied succinctly, and this was the only explanation he could think of.
"In that kind of immersion state, the most afraid thing is to play, so the moment I saw Bai Aji, I knew that something was wrong......"
The second watch is coming~
