"It's better to avoid them. They make too much noise and it could be dangerous."
Hugo said softly.
She turned to look at the gentleman in the black hat and said in a lowered voice:
"Please, Your Majesty."
“It’s a piece of cake.”
Chen Lun nodded in response and raised the white cane in his hand. An invisible mysterious force enveloped the three people. The next moment, they all disappeared from the spot and flashed to a place one kilometer away in a straight line.
rumble…
A loud noise came from behind them.
Hugo and Ibrahim looked back and frowned. They saw a pink mist rising from the place where the monsters were fighting, shrouded in the "atmosphere of bones".
It was conceivable how brutal the fight would be. However, just as the two were about to look away and continue on their way, a huge head that covered the sky and the sun rose from the ground!
There was no skin, only countless muscle fibers. Its huge mouth opened like a giant jellyfish, and it suddenly dived down and bit off a large piece of deep red area!
Click!
With a sound like glass breaking, the Didak insects and the flesh and blood creatures from the Netherworld all struggled and twisted, and were swallowed by the huge mouth.
Woo—
The giant mouth’s surface opened up with chrysanthemum-like holes, and suddenly shrank, accompanied by the dancing of countless muscular tentacles, the pink mist was sucked in by the whale, and then countless blood gushed out like a fountain, and the giant creature slowly sank in the blood rain and pink mist with great satisfaction... The earth trembled, and the surroundings returned to calm, leaving only a large jagged pit on the deep red ground.
"What is that..."
Ibrahimovic asked in great shock.
This was the first time she had seen such a deformed behemoth. The strong mythological aura it exuded gave her a strong sense of threat.
Hugo on the side said in a deep voice:
"The Gluttony Lords... They can be considered one of the dominant creatures in the Netherworld, and are also the direct descendants of Madam Rose. Even saints are unlikely to provoke them because they are too difficult to deal with."
She shook her head.
"As long as we don't make too much noise and don't use mythical power too often, we won't attract their attention... Let's continue on our way. Giant Skull Peak should be not far ahead."
Ibrahim nodded silently.
Fortunately, the three of them did not intervene in the fight between the monsters, otherwise they would have been targeted by the mythical creature... It's not that they couldn't defeat it, but it would definitely be very troublesome, and the noise of their attack might even attract more unknown beings.
"Sure enough, this old guy Hugo was well prepared, had enough knowledge of the Netherworld, and was quite cautious, which made this journey much smoother."
Chen Lun thought to himself and felt relieved.
Finally, he looked back at the area that had been eaten by the Lord of Gluttony. A new "Aura of Corpses" was slowly spreading from there, and his vision was flooded with pink.
"A mythical creature equivalent to a high-ranking person... Madam Rose's scroll tribe is interesting."
He adjusted his black hat, followed Hugo's footsteps and continued forward.
There were no more dangerous situations on the road afterwards, except for the occasional encounters with some hungry creatures from the underworld wandering around.
Seeing those deformed monsters with peeling skin, exposed muscles and covered in blood, Ibrayin seemed particularly disgusted and disgusted, and it was basically she who cleaned up the monsters.
Often, she would just wave her hand casually, and in the twinkling of starlight, the swarm of monsters would turn around and start to kill each other... or they would become mentally disturbed and tear and bite her, and finally kill her alive.
Hugo seemed very calm about this, but Chen Lun watched with great interest. It must be said that when Ibrayin made his move, every move contained beauty...
'Misleading, confusing and tampering with cognition are the main methods used by the high-ranking stars.'
Chen Lun thought.
Ding-a-ling…
A silver sparkling starlight flowed from Ibrayin's fingers, making a subtle but crisp sound.
Five bird creatures with huge wing membranes, their beaks split into three pairs like petals, made strange frog calls from their mouths. They seemed to have lost their sense of direction, fell diagonally, and plunged headfirst into the ground.
Amid the muffled thuds, the bird monsters fluttered violently on the ground, splashing blood-red mud. A group of drooling, strange-looking creatures covered with deformed bone spurs and cuticles swarmed over and kept devouring the bird monsters' bodies.
Afterwards, when the monsters had eaten their fill, they swarmed towards the abyss ahead... As if returning home, they leaped down the bottomless cliff until their figures were swallowed up by the dark red.
"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty."
Hugo smiled and nodded to Ibrahim.
The latter just waved his hand.
Chen Lun remained silent, thinking that the old principal invited Ibrayin because of their friendship and because he was impressed by her power... The misleading and confusing stars would not cause too much noise and could easily clear obstacles, which was very suitable for this journey.
At this time, the old principal raised his staff, and a bright green light shone.
"Scout."
She whispered softly.
The three people were covered by an invisible veil, hiding their figures. Then, Hugo waved his staff again.
"suspended animation."
A layer of dim light was added to the tulle, and the life breath of the three people also dissipated.
"We need to move forward along the rift abyss. There are many mythical creatures similar to the Gluttonous Lord swimming below. If we hide a little, we can reduce the chance of being discovered..."
Hugo gave a brief explanation and continued to lead the way.
The three of them walked forward again. About half an hour later, they saw a ruined wall in front of them. Many human skeletons were standing there, but they were missing arms and legs. Some of them even had half of their bodies weathered away.
"This should have been a settlement of the inhabitants of the Netherworld. They believed in Lady Rose and lived here for generations..."
Hugo was a little uncertain when he saw this scene, and he just spoke in a suspicious tone.
Then she turned around and looked at the gentleman in the black hat with a questioning look. Chen Lun smiled and raised his hand to flick his fingers.
bite!
A blue gambler spun in the air, then fell down and landed in the palm of the hand, revealing the head of "King Byron" William Lev.
"Safety."
Chen Lun smiled.
Although it was such a trivial scene, Hugo and Ibrahim did not take it lightly, but nodded very seriously.
The essence of a Fate Saint's divination will not change no matter what means she uses to achieve it... Since Jack said it is safe, then it is safe. Even Ibrahim, the Star Saint who is also good at divination, does not dare to say that he can make a more accurate judgment.
"Give me ten minutes. I need to collect information about these ruins."
Hugo whispered.
"No problem, I'll be on guard."
Ibrahim said very consciously.
Hugo nodded to the two of them, and then walked into the ancient ruins. Chen Lun's heart moved, and he followed.
The old principal just glanced at him and said nothing.
After a moment.
Chen Lun was wandering among the ruins when he suddenly saw a skeleton statue with only two legs left, with some vague words engraved on the base.
He walked closer and looked at it carefully, and found that the words on it were all written in the Yanita language. Fortunately, his level in this language was full, so he could easily understand it.
"The dark earth, the twinkling starry sky, and the bizarre dreams are all false... Only the world beyond this world and the spirit world is the beginning of the world."
"In ancient times, gods were like friends and relatives, but now, gods are like enemies... The five gods, the Dragon of Light, the King of Giants, the World Tree, the Lord of Fate, and the Star of Enlightenment, have a particularly good relationship. Gods such as the Emerald Bird, the Scavenger, and the Thousand Captains are also... "
“The ancient gods are all enemies, the giants have fallen, the spirits and bodies are attacked, the roses are terrified… According to legend, the dragon of light is the source of the world’s light, always shining on the world without darkness, but unfortunately it is nowhere to be found now.”
"… "
Chen Lun looked at these tattered words, and intermittent information flowed into his mind, making him a little confused.
"The era of these ruins is unknown... And the first paragraph means that in the beginning, there were only the real world and the spirit world, and the netherworld, the star world, and the dream world did not exist?"
He thought of the information he had just received from the Kangkai Council today. Regarding the definition of the Netherworld and other worlds, it was said that their birth was just accidental, which could match the description in this passage.
'The second and third paragraphs mentioned familiar ancient gods. As far as I know, the Lord of Fate is Duke Huan, the World Tree is Miss Saint Tree, and the Star of Enlightenment corresponds to Mr. Jingyao... The fall of the Giant King should be related to Madam Rose, and the Dragon of Light was once the sun god of the world, but later disappeared... Well, this is probably related to Father Lie.'
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
He guessed that these ancient gods seemed to have had some secret wars with the gods of the present era... and Duke Huan's last wish and great achievement was to kill the seven gods, so could it be related to this
"If history is really as these words say, then Duke Huan's motive for killing the Seven Gods was to avenge his friend? Hmm... This reason is too far-fetched, it shouldn't be. "
Chen Lun still had some doubts.
For example, he had never heard of the ancient gods mentioned in the texts, such as the King Kong Bird, the Scavenger and the Thousand Captain, and they did not correspond to the true gods of today.
'So did these ancient gods fall? If not, where are they now?'
He felt that the fog in his heart had deepened.
Not long.
Hugo used magic to record some of the text and graphics left in the ruins, and also took away a small amount of bone remains, probably intending to take them back for research.
The three left the ruins and continued on their way.
Another two hours passed.
Everyone finally arrived at the "Giant Skull Peak", where a white skull as big as a mountain stood. It looked neither human nor human, with two cave-like eye sockets already covered with flesh and blood vines.
These "vines" were roughly a dozen meters in diameter, twisting and winding like giant pythons, with bulging veins all over their skin, and the exposed skin was made up of tight muscle fibers, which was quite scary. There were also scarlet roses blooming from the surface of the vines, giving people a weird and bizarre beauty.
The vines grew everywhere, even blocking the way of the three people.
Chen Lun looked up. For some reason, he felt that the owner of this head was most likely the Giant King...
"Damn... How did these things appear?"
Hugo's usual smile disappeared, his face changed slightly, he cursed first, then suppressed his voice and said:
"Be careful of these fleshy plants... In a sense, they are the incarnation of Madam Rose and the true rulers of the Netherworld. They are far more terrifying than those mythical creatures!"
