Volume 1 The Aquaman's Sigh Chapter 43 The Sacrifice
Bergis recognized one of the fat men, it was Andy Grian, who had fought with him in the inn, and the elegant noble gentleman Doromie Grian was also lying in the crowd, but at this time he seemed to have completely lost his previous aura, his distracted eyes were full of endless nothingness, his luxurious clothes had become tattered, and his slightly wriggling lips were like the last lingering breath before dying.
"Do you know them?" Eisen asked, looking at Bergis in surprise, "who are they?"
"They also stayed in the inn of the Ancient Elf Town before, a group of arrogant people who tried to enter the Eldas Mountains in search of wealth, and they didn't expect to appear here......" Bergis seemed to think of something suddenly, he wandered around the huge stone platform a little anxiously, his eyes kept searching the crowd on the stone platform, "That guy is not here?"
"Who?"
"The guy who blocked my blow head-on. A cold awakening light flashed in Veggis's eyes, and then he shrugged helplessly, "I guess I died before I got here, right?!"
"What the hell is wrong with them? How did they come to be like this, they don't look like they have wounds, but their lives seem to be passing by so fast, what the hell...... What did they encounter?" Arya's eyes flickered, and she staggered back in horror, her pretty face pale.
"There are already strange things here, it's not surprising that something happened, maybe they were attacked by some kind of demonic beast, and this place is the old nest of demonic beasts, drag them back here and put them here to store them here as food, right?!" At this time, Wren did not appear to be in a hurry, but calmly analyzed the current situation, "Angela said that she couldn't feel the breath of the demonic beast, so it is very likely that the demonic beast left her lair......"
"The rest of the demonic beasts don't dare to approach here, so the demonic beasts that survive here are at least able to deter the terrifying existence of those demonic beasts on the periphery, if we wait for it to come back, then our hope of survival will be very slim......" Angela followed Wren's train of thought and analyzed.
"Yes, we must hurry up and get out of here!" An inexplicable chill stirred in Arya's heart, and for some reason, the closer she got to the Eldas Mountains, the more the fear in her heart became stronger, completely losing her usual calmness and uninhibited as the vice-captain of [Ice Wings].
"And what about these people?" Wren looked at the dying crowd lying on the stone platform, and his eyes inadvertently showed a little sadness.
"They are hopeless, their consciousness seems to have long since dissipated, and now they are left with only a whecked shell. Angela said regretfully.
"Captain, give orders!" Arya shouted anxiously.
Eisen's face grew serious, and he frowned in contemplation, but he didn't have time to speak......
"No, it's too late...... Angela's eyes suddenly condensed, and the horror in her eyes overflowed, "It's coming......"
The expressions of the crowd remained in shock, and suddenly there was a violent shaking in the empty stone room, as if some terrifying behemoth deep underground was rapidly awakening, trying to break through the crustal cage that imprisoned it.
The huge stone platform suddenly sank slowly in the violent shaking, and the dying crowd on the stone platform sank into the deep darkness, and the shaking gradually subsided, but the stone platform did not rise again, revealing a dark ancient well-like hole, the faint blue fire in the stone room was not enough to illuminate the abyss-like hole, and the stone room was filled with a mysterious and unpredictable atmosphere in an instant.
Everyone retreated in astonishment, clinging to the stone wall behind them, instinctively moving away from the strange hole in the center of the stone chamber.
"It's ...... What's going on......" Arya leaned against the wall, the sudden change that made her lose her mind for a moment.
As soon as she finished speaking, a beastly roar suddenly sounded from the large, dark hole, as if countless people were beating the war drums at the same time, and then the drums became louder and louder, more and more rapid, and thump.......
The breathtaking roar was like a raging storm tumbling in the stone chamber, wreaking havoc on everyone's mind. If the ghost feather butterfly's hissing is a seductive auditory hallucination, then the roar of the monster that can't see its true face in front of it is like a real blunt blow, and every time it roars, it is as suffocating and painful as a giant hammer weighing hundreds of pounds to hammer the chest.
A huge black and twisted tentacle slowly rose from the hole, like the tentacles of a large octopus living in the deep sea. However, the difference with the tentacles of the octopus is that in addition to the pitch black, this tentacle is also covered with fine and tough scales, densely covering the back of the entire tentacle, and the other side of the tentacle is the same as the octopus tentacles with many huge suckers, the polyps around the suckers slowly squirm, and the dark green liquid secreted slowly overflows from the black nucleus in the center of the suction cups, and slowly flows down the lengthy tentacles to the depths of darkness.
The tentacles that came out of the ground were almost three or four times the size of an ordinary python, and the wind brought by its frantic swinging was comparable to that of a tsunami, and most importantly, the huge magic emitted from its body hidden under the hole was like an endless ocean, violent and turbulent. At this moment, Eisen and the others are like a lonely boat floating in the sea on a stormy night, crumbling, and will be ruthlessly overturned by the storm and waves at any time, and then sink......
"This guy is...... Monster?" Bergis also unexpectedly showed an expression of disbelief, and the huge soul power that was coming in front of him had to make him fearful.
"It seems that the reason why the demonic beasts in this area are afraid to approach is this guy, right?" Wren raised his head in a daze, looking at the incredible scene in the stone room, "This guy should be enough to be the abyss-level demonic beast you are talking about, right?"
"What an abyss is not an abyss, get out of here, or we'll wait to make its dinner......" Arya roared anxiously as she woke up from her great horror.
At the same time, the pitch-black tentacle that kept stretching out into the stone chamber suddenly fell from the sky and smashed back and forth towards everyone.
There was a violent vibration, the entire stone chamber seemed to have experienced an earthquake, several faint blue fires were extinguished in an instant, and the remaining few were also blown by the stirred wind, and several cracks opened in an instant on the hard stone wall, and dozens of broken stones rolled down and fell down, one of the large stones blocked the already narrow exit.
"Are you alright?" In the chaos, Eisen dodged and picked up Angela at his side, deftly avoiding the falling gravel along the way, and quietly landed in the distance.
In the face of the sudden attack of the monster, everyone who was still in a trance was still instinctively aware of the coming danger, and the soul power around them involuntarily poured out wildly, and it was more than enough to resolve the current crisis.
"It's fine!"
"It's just...... The exit was blocked. Arya's voice came from a dark corner, a hint of despair.
"Does this monster seem to have dinner with us?" said Beges, holding his scythe across his face, "but Master Ben isn't that tasty. ”
"Captain, what now?" asked Angela, slowly looking up at Eisen, who was hugging her.
"I've seen it just now, there is only one exit for us to enter this stone chamber, and there are rock walls all around, so there shouldn't be any other secret doors, and even if there is, we won't be able to find out for a while. Eisen still seems relatively calm in such an environment, and as the core of the team, he naturally needs this kind of calm and steady character, but his words still make everyone's hearts cold.
"Is it just waiting to die?" Veggis glared at in vain, "then we might as well fight this monster and see who comes out on top." ”
At that moment, the lengthy tentacle waved again, this time almost against the wall, and the tips of the tentacles were also covered with those pitch-black scales, which shone with an eerie metallic sheen in the faint light of the fire.
The moment it touched the stone wall, it easily left a shocking opening in the wall, and it swept frantically along the wall towards everyone.
The limited space was filled with dust and debris, debris and sand ejected from the walls, billowing smoke and dust echoing through the stone chamber with the exclamations of the crowd.
"Squat down!" a cold light flashed in Eisen's constricted eyes.
As Eisen shouted, his right hand raised against the frantically curling tentacles.
It was a stone chamber deep underground, and the temperature here was already very low, but the moment Ethan raised his hand, an even colder, more violent chill swept out of his body with impunity.
In the already humid environment, ice crystals like water droplets began to condense, and these ice crystals suspended in the air quickly converged and swallowed each other.
The stone walls and ground full of cracks condensed layers of thick ice at a speed visible to the naked eye, except for a few candles that were still breathing, even the dark and deep hole was filled with ice that grew wantonly, and the tentacles that poked out of the hole slowly stopped in front of Eisen, the thick frost completely wrapped it, and the icicles extending from the surrounding walls were like a thick stream of transparent hemp rope, tightly pulling the monster tentacles frozen by the ice.
"Worthy of the captain!" Veggis slowly lowered his scythe, he was still on the preparation for the start, he wanted to swing the knife at the tentacle, although the black scales of the tentacle looked extremely hard, he was still confident to tear its scales, leaving a scar on its flesh.
"This monster came out of the ground, and we went up there. Eisen looked up at the dome hidden in the chaotic darkness and said, "This is deep underground, and there may be an exit if you go up." ”
"No, I'll just smash the rockfall that blocks the exit. Beggis said puzzled.
"I couldn't trap it for long, it was too powerful, too powerful, and we didn't have much time to get out of that tunnel. There was little fear in Eisen's eyes, not even he noticed it, and there was a tremor in his voice.
"But...... How can we go up?" asked Angela, looking up at the pitch-black chaos above.
