Volume 1 Aquaman's Sigh Chapter 41 Ancient Ruins (I)

"Even so, I'd like to find out. Eisen stepped into the thick fog, he slowly turned half his head, "Of course, I don't have any right to ask you to join me in the danger, you can stay at this border and wait for Jenora, I think the monster doesn't dare to approach here rashly, and it's relatively safe, if I don't come out after a day, then please complete this mission for me." ”

"Interesting! A gateway to hell?" Beges's mouth curled slightly, and a frenzied anticipation flashed in his eyes, as he followed Eisen into the thick fog, "Sounds like a good place!"

"Damn!" said Arya, looking at Wren uncertainly, "what about you......?"

"I want to go in and have a look at ...... too"

As the sun sinks in the west, a crimson sunset casts in through the shadows of the trees, through the ancient trees that rise from the ground, and flows silently on the thick debris of dead grass. The wolf-like demonic beasts that flew by out of nowhere wantonly splashed dust and debris all over the ground, and lifted it into the air, looking like ashes floating in the air after burning in the fiery red sunset, revealing a touch of indifference and despair.

Even the fiery sunset couldn't penetrate the thick and viscous fog in front of you. Straight beams of light came from the shadows of the trees, leaving only a faint flush on the surface of the rolling fog, like a girl's shy cheeks.

The viscous fog was filled with wet moisture, and the vision was almost filled with a white expanse, and even the faint outline of something close at hand could only be faintly seen.

Although the fog was not a dark world, there was an aura more terrifying than the darkness, a hazy and vague sense of fear, like the fearless struggle of human beings in nightmares.

Eisen walked cautiously, the hard ground beneath his feet, completely different from the soft soil of the forest before, and the ground seemed to be covered with layers of some kind of detris, neither thick nor thin, like the remains of creatures that had slowly corroded and precipitated over the years. With each step, there was a crisp sound like cracking bones, as if there were still calcareous structures left in the debris that had not yet completely corroded.

Other than that, the only thing in this oppressive environment was Eisen's own muffled breathing and his heartbeat, which had become somewhat disturbed by nervousness.

In this thick fog, just as Angela had felt, there was nothing but the overwhelming white fog...... But why did the domineering beasts stop here? What were they afraid of? The fog that obscured their vision, or was there some unknown danger lurking somewhere in the fog?

Eisen's equally cautious footsteps sounded behind him, and Hisso drew closer and closer in his direction. Eisen's pupils gradually closed into a thin line, and he stopped, suppressing his low breathing, and waited quietly in place, until he slowly breathed a sigh of relief when the voice of Veggis came from behind him.

"Is that you?" asked Eisen, turning his head slightly and faintly behind him.

"Of course, how can such an interesting thing be without my share of Beges?" said Beges grinning, but in the foggy environment, no one could really see his extremely unflattened face.

"Didn't I tell you to stay outside, why did you break in with you?" Eisen was silent for a moment, "you guys...... All came in?"

"I didn't want to come to this goosebump-inducing place......" Arya's delicate curves gradually revealed their graceful silhouette in the viscous mist, and she seemed to spread her hands helplessly, "but I didn't want to be alone outside to be a dinner for the monsters, so I had to come in with me......"

"I'm afraid it's more dangerous here than if we were in the same room with the monsters, maybe we're already in the mouth of some kind of invisible monster by now. Eisen's voice still sounded cold, but there was a faint warmth in his words, "It's waiting for us to relax and swallow us in one gulp." ”

"[Icewing] has always been in the same boat, isn't it, Captain?" Angela said with a smile as she jumped off Amen's shoulder, "Even if we've become the monster's mouth, why don't we all work together to rip the monster's belly and escape." ”

"Tut-tut, Angela's way of speaking is getting more and more like me. Veges echoed with a smirk.

"Advance and retreat together?" Eisen's faint voice came through the thick fog, with a wet feeling, as if there was a faint sorrow, "I'm worried that this may touch the core secret of the Eldas Mountains......"

"So?" Arya continued, "are you worried about whether this ancient secret is something we can afford to bear, or are you worried about whether we can get out of here safely if we are close to it?"

"It can also be said that Angela doesn't feel the presence of demonic beasts here, but we clearly put our feet on the corpses of demonic beasts. Eisen's eyes lowered, looking at the faint black ground under his feet, a shallow cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes, like a sudden flash of light in the depths of the silent sea, "The aura emitted by the corpses of demonic beasts that have been piled up over the years has gradually made the rest of the demonic beasts dare not set foot here, and over time they have been afraid of this place, and gradually formed a forbidden area for demonic beasts." It's just that...... What was it that had obliterated the beast that had strayed in? Not even Angela's sentience could catch its traces? What kind of thing was it? How powerful was it? We didn't know anything about it, and if we entered here rashly, we would most likely ...... Annihilated. ”

"If it's a living thing, then it won't live that long......" Wren crouched down, gently picked up some debris from the ground, and said, "The remains of these creatures are thousands of years old, right? ”

Wren's speculation is also highly likely, so Angela's perception is not wrong. It's just that the monsters have long been accustomed to listing this place as a forbidden area, so they don't dare to set foot here easily, even if there is no real threat to their lives here. Arya said.

"It's possible, but hopefully there's no danger here. "But, in any case, you can't take it lightly. ”

"Hmm!" everyone nodded.

After saying that, Eisen took the lead in stepping forward to the thicker white mist, and everyone followed.

The quiet night of the forest gradually crept up the branches, and the hazy half-moon hung high at the end of the skywall, and the cold moonlight poured down from the sky like flowing mercury.

The primeval forest, full of slaughter and blood, in the cold night, gradually quieted down, revealing a little eerie serenity, and the huge silence seemed to lurk in the danger of disappearing.

The rolling fog gradually became pitch black, and Aisen and the others did not find a branch that could be used as a torch in the dense fog area, so everyone could only move forward in the dark. In fact, even at noon when the sun is in the sky, the line of sight here is only half a meter away, but the dark night seems to be more reassuring.

This area of Zero Demonic Beasts covered by the dense fog is actually not too big according to Angela's sense, but everyone has been walking in the dense fog for a long time, even if they slow down and move forward cautiously, it is time to reach the end of the dense fog. But at this moment, everyone was still in the depths of the thick fog of wet and cold, except for the sound of each other's heavier and heavier breathing, there was no other sound in this area, and the silence was like the deep sea.

I don't know how long I walked in the chaotic and sticky darkness, until Angela let out an exclamation shattered the silence around her.

"Look, what's that?"

Following Angela's puzzled gaze, two faint blue lights suddenly appeared in the still dark world in front of her, floating in the air like ghostly fire, swaying gently, the firelight flickering behind the hazy mist, like the eyes of some kind of behemoth.

A hint of foreboding suddenly passed through everyone's hearts.
