Chapter 565: The Conch and the Trumpet (I)
Dagon.
A local belief that originated in the old sea.
It is said that it is also one of the ancient gods who have survived from the old days, and its body is not humanoid but like a large octopus, and it inhabits the dark sea of the old days all year round, and it hardly likes the appearance of people very much, and it has been witnessed by outsiders only a handful of times.
Therefore, many people think that Dagon is a fake, a false god made up by the natives who smell of fish, in order to scare those outsiders from the mainland, but in fact...... Dagon exists.
Chen Bofu was fortunate enough to witness it in the first place.
It is no exaggeration to say.
That experience frightened Chen Bofu.
Compared to when he went to the Western Continent to venture and almost killed the ancient gods, Dagon of the Old Sea was obviously much more terrifying......
"I don't know how much you know about the ocean, but I'm sure you don't know enough about it."
When Chen Bofu and Chen Jing told these past events, they inevitably recalled that experience, and there was an obvious fear on their faces.
"Although the universe is far vast, but the universe is not visible and intangible, but the ocean is not, when you take a boat and drift with the waves on the sea, the farther away from the land, the more terrifying, as if everything in the world is swallowed by those dark waters......"
"You still have deep-sea phobia?" Chen Jing asked suspiciously, and it seemed difficult to connect what Chen Bofu said with himself.
"What's that?"
Chen Bofu didn't seem to have heard this term, frowned and took a deep puff of cigarette.
"You will know once you go, the sea water there is black, and the shallows on the shore suddenly become very deep when you go out dozens of meters, as if there is a cliff under the sea...... Don't interrupt you, kid! ”
"No interruption, no interruption, you continue!"
Seeing that Chen Jing obediently closed his mouth and remained silent, Chen Bofu picked up his cigarette and smoked it slowly, and continued to speak.
"When we first went on our expedition to the Sea of the Old Days, there weren't many people in the group, except for the two natives who led the way, it was just me, Randolph, and the old ...... Armitage."
"The natives leading the way?" Chen Jing was stunned.
"Nonsense, if we don't find someone to lead the way, we must not get lost at sea!" Chen Bofu glanced at Chen Jing and felt that he was making a fuss.
"Grandpa, aren't you able to fly?" Chen Jing asked cautiously, "No matter how large the area of the Old Sea is, it shouldn't be a ...... for you to take a little time to make a few round-trips."
"Can't fly."
“?”
"That place can't fly."
Seeing Chen Jing's face full of puzzlement, Chen Bofu had to explain patiently.
"I told you before that the three major sects can't set foot in the Sea of the Old...... The main reason for this is that the sea is very wrong. ”
Chen Bofu shook off the ashes of his cigarette and continued with a solemn expression.
"As the most polluted area left over from the old era, that sea area has the property of devouring energy, and any old descendant or polluting or ancient species will be continuously drained of the energy in the body by it."
"Fight, fly."
"Swim in the water, or use power."
"The more you need to use energy, the faster your energy will be withdrawn, so you can't fly in that place, even if you want to fly, you can only fly for a short distance, and even I can't stand it for a long time......"
According to Chen Bofu, it is precisely because of this characteristic that the Sea of the Old Days is not so dangerous compared to the Western Continent, but the degree of disgusting people is really unique.
There is an ancient god Xi who likes to be quiet in the Western Continent, and whoever speaks out will die.
And the sea of the old...... Although there is an old god named Dagon, in general, the old god has a good temper and basically does not show up, and he does not necessarily go to kill people.
The danger in that sea can only come from two sides.
Either they are polluted species that live in the sea, they have long been accustomed to this harsh environment, so compared to outsiders like Chen Bofu, they will be more resistant to the energy extracted by the ocean, in short, more durable.
And the other can be dangerous for outsiders...... It was the group of natives who smelled of fish.
"Those hairy blood-drinking mongrels are particularly disgusting." Chen Bofu also emphasized it when he said this, his face was full of undisguised disgust, "And the heart is very bad and xenophobic, although it is not excluded that there are good people in their group, but most of them are the kind of goods that eat people and do not spit out bones...... When I say cannibalism, I mean it literally, you don't have to associate it. ”
As soon as the words fell, Chen Bofu couldn't help frowning.
"Those natives are also of old descent, and the sequence of their awakening is very strange, and they have a deep connection to the sea, if you are looking for what Conch City is really in the sea...... Honestly, it's going to be a hassle. ”
"What about the old gods?" Chen Jing asked curiously, "It should be the biggest trouble, right?" ”
Hearing this question, Chen Bofu smoked a cigarette and hummed heavily.
"When I was out at sea with Randolph Armitage, it seemed that the natives were having some kind of festival, and there was a festival to worship Dagon...... According to the natives who led the way, Dagon's festival is a carnival day for everyone, but Dagon does not necessarily appear, it has appeared very rarely in history, and every time it is regarded as a good omen by those natives. ”
"We had bad luck that day."
"Shortly after we went to sea, we bumped into Dagon, who came out of the sea and wanted to breathe."
Hitherto.
Chen Bofu can't forget the experience of that day.
Above the boundless dark sea, fierce winds and waves swept through the terrifying tsunamis, and in silence, as if the sea level had been swallowed by darkness, it suddenly cracked, and an endless abyss hundreds of kilometers wide appeared in the center of the ocean......
On the surface of the sea, everything that Chen Bofu could see was swallowed by the abyss in an instant, whether it was ships or islands coming and going, all fell into that terrifying abyss.
If it weren't for the fact that the boat that Chen Bofu and the others were riding on was far away from the abyss, I am afraid that they would also fall into it in an instant.
"To be honest, I still don't know what Dagon looks like, I can only understand it through the totems outlined by the natives, and Dagon's body should be similar to an octopus."
"You didn't see Dagon that day?" Chen Jing asked puzzled.
"Of course I do."
Chen Bofu sighed helplessly, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"But I only saw part of it."
