Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 799

[Chapter 781 Remains]

After walking through the wide “Pilgrimage Road”, Duncan came to the gate of the temple – it was a huge opening that seemed to allow a giant to pass through. It was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom. The door opening was towering and two doors of unknown material had already been opened. Falling down, they fell off from both sides of the doorway, one fell to the ground, and the other leaned crookedly against the palace wall.

The faint sound of waves came from the doorway, mixed with chaotic and low noises. It seemed that a giant beast was breathing hard and murmuring in the dark. The slightly salty sea breeze hovered at the end of the pilgrimage road, bringing the sound Feeling cold.

“What an incredible creation… Moss came to the outer wall of the palace. One of his eye sockets deformed and receded, and a set of lenses extended from it along the copper slide rails. He carefully observed the rough and dilapidated buildings. “Dark green boulders,” so perfectly fitted together… It’s as if they had originally ‘grown’ like this…

“I have seen such walls in some dreams,” Fanna reached out and gently touched the outer walls. , “There are also visions during prayer… Many saints will see strange high walls or piled boulders in their hallucinations. It turns out… those visions point to this…

Lucdoncia is standing on that huge In front of the door, a piece of white paper was thrown into the dark corridor. After the white paper was released, it burned out of thin air and turned into a vaguely human-shaped fire, flying for a short distance in the darkness

. “… It’s very calm,” the witch lady said hesitantly, “but my spell dissipated very quickly, as if there was some kind of invisible suppression.” “

Duncan looked inside the palace, then looked back at the followers who had followed him to the island. After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and waved it lightly – green flames immediately ignited out of thin air, spreading around every corner. On one person.

Nina was startled at first, but soon she curiously played with the flames on her arms, then rolled them into small balls and threw them around in her hands, while Vanna and Moss were in the flames. After moving her body, one picked up the big sword and made a few gestures, and the joints all over her body made a buzzing sound. Lucdoncia seemed a little at a loss – she was not very familiar with her father’s “lighting a small fire on a whim” “Habit, I was obviously a little nervous at this time.

But what was more nervous was obviously not that Abnormal 077, who was next to Miss Witch, jumped up almost instantly. The mummy jumped up almost two meters on the spot with a roar, and when it fell down The voice was out of tune: “Fire, fire, fire… the captain is on fire, I’m on fire,

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh .”

A bone spur arthropod sprang out from behind Shirley and knocked the mummy to the ground: “What a ghost crying and wolf howling, isn’t it just to light a fire?” A-Agou didn’t… Agou, don’t shiver!”

Agou’s bones crackled like a typewriter: “I…I’m not trembling…I’m calm… “

It’s just a layer of protection,” Duncan looked back with some helplessness at the group of guys who instantly became lively, and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. When facing the final challenge, the explorers in other stories must be so sad that they have to take out their fiancée’s treasure. The photos are so fierce, why are these “people” he brought with him? Even at the end of the world, the movement is like a vegetable market, but they have to patiently explain, “We will step into the place where the ancient gods sleep – your mental meeting. It is a great test, so I will cover you with flames throughout the next journey to protect you from the influence of the power in the temple. “

Anomaly 077 finally understood, – clapped his hands: “Oh, it’s like killing the hostage before he is injured…

Shirley knocked him to the ground again, but after that, she nodded thoughtfully. Nodding: “Actually, I think you are right.”

The mummy stood up and stared: “Then why are you whipping me! ?”

“The captain must want to whip you,” Shirley said casually, then turned around and looked at him with a smile. Duncan, “Really, Captain?”

Duncan nodded expressionlessly, and at the same time, he suddenly had some subtle feelings –

I wonder if he was thinking too much, it seemed that just after his flames covered everyone, the atmosphere suddenly changed. A change has occurred – everyone, including Shirley and the sailor, originally fell into a somewhat dull or even heavy aura after setting foot on the island, but now, the usual “vitality” seems to have suddenly returned to them. .

He frowned, seeming to have some understanding of the island, and then looked at the dark doorway…

The green firelight illuminated the dim corridor in the palace, and his cautious footsteps broke the silence of countless years. In the dead silence, the long shadows of visitors were cast on the mottled old stone walls and floors. Duncan walked in this huge and almost suffocating palace, and as they went deeper and deeper, the smelly and salty The smell of the ocean and the waves, murmurs, and noises in the surrounding air became more and more obvious. .

“Pay attention to the shadows under your feet, and pay attention to the changes in light and darkness reflected by the surrounding firelight that are inconsistent with common sense.” Fanna walked at the front of the team, paying careful attention to her surroundings while not forgetting to remind others, “Don’t respond to people from outside the team. The call, and…

She paused and looked back at Moss: “Don’t touch the things around you. “

I didn’t touch it,” the old scholar suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and raised his hand to show his luck, “I just took a closer look.” “

Duncan walked at the front of the team, his eyes constantly scanning every corner of this magnificent building. The green firelight flowed with his sight like life, illuminating those ancient and dark places. Suddenly, his footsteps It

slowed down.

A huge, pale vine-like thing appeared on the nearby ceiling, extending along the vault to the wall on the other side, and then passed through the hole at the top of the wall before disappearing into the building. In the depths of the thing.

Shirley subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Duncan’s gaze. At that moment, she felt her heart suddenly stopped beating – and

she felt a bang in her mind .

There was a sound, and then there was a bang – the flames surrounding her body and soul “pulled” her back the moment she fell into madness, burning strongly at the edge of her vision, dissolving the sight of the ancient god. The violent mental shock caused by the body.

“It’s the limb of God…” Lucretia reacted quickly and murmured to herself while looking up, “We saw it in the distance before.” Those pale knots spreading out from the palace…do they extend from here?”

“Seeing it up close is really different from seeing it from a distance,” Agou muttered, “I almost thought I had it again. My heart is beating.”

“Be careful, don’t stare at these limbs for too long,” Duncan reminded casually and continued walking forward.

As the team continued deeper into the palace, they saw…more.

Some of the pale tentacles were only as thick as masts, while others almost occupied the entire roof and were wider than the hulls of some medium-sized ships – they were Like an out-of-control, criss-crossing root system, it penetrates almost all the corridors and halls of the palace. This amazing biological structure spreads and grows in this ancient and magnificent building, and then withers and dies, as if it has already It became an integral part of the building, even substantially engulfing and replacing the original pillars and beams in some areas.

When walking through a certain hall, those criss-crossing tentacles and organ structures with unknown functions almost filled the entire space.

Amazing, shocking, awe-inspiring, even terrifying – even without the mental pollution from the gods, even just witnessing a “body” of this scale is enough to drive ordinary people with fragile minds into collapse and madness.

And Duncan has reason to suspect that even such an amazing biological structure is actually only a small part of a huge body – more parts may be hidden under this island, hidden in the dark deep sea.

This temple is just a place for that huge existence to communicate with the “pilgrims on land” – a small living room, a conference room, where the Queen of Leviathan lifts a small part of her tentacles from the deep sea. She extended into the building simply to facilitate conversation with the humans she had sheltered in ancient times past.

The team finally stopped at the end of another long corridor.

At the end of the corridor is no longer a hall or a room, but… a pool of water that is almost like an “indoor lake”.

This is a huge circular space. The ground made of boulders is gradually sunken in the middle. Two-thirds of the entire space is occupied by a round pool with a faint glow, and there are many doors and windows distributed in it. On the surrounding walls, countless tentacles, blood vessels, and nerve cords passed through the doors and windows, submerged into the depths of the pool, and merged into a huge and complex structure in the shimmering “lake” that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. .

Part of it protruded from the water pool, lying lifelessly on the stone floor, and there seemed to be some “miscellaneous objects” dumped near the limb structure that protruded from the water pool.

…Is this building as big as this?” After being stunned for a long time, Shirley finally couldn’t help but murmured to herself, “Why do I feel that this ‘hall’ alone is as big as the palace looking outside? Almost…

“Have you even noticed it?” Moss glanced at Shirley, then looked around and said thoughtfully, “The space inside it… doesn’t seem to be consistent with common sense. Yes, it It has been greatly expanded. When we pass through a certain door or corridor, we are no longer in the palace, but in a secret space connected to it. “

Fana did not speak. , she just looked quietly at the lifeless, pale limbs on the edge of the pool, with a complicated and sad expression.

Many layers of whispers lingered in her ears, and the gentle sound of the waves kept coming, but she couldn’t understand anything. From the moment she stepped into this palace, the goddess’s clear will seemed to disappear, and she could no longer listen. Any sound to the sleeve.

Duncan stood next to Vanna, frowning tightly with a hint of doubt in his expression.

He thought that when he came here, he could talk to Gemona face to face. Even if the other party was in a strange “death” state, he should be able to hear her voice, illusion, soul, or anything else. There was nothing there, just like those weird things I had dealt with before, but…

nothing.

There was only a long-dead body from which everything had dissipated.
