"I must have come to the wrong place. Is this reasonable? Is this still where the Seven Gods stay? If I hadn't seen the murals outside, I would have believed it immediately if I had said it was the Demon Temple of the Evil Gods."
Longdan looked at the passage covered with muscle tissue behind the door and shook his head.
Moonlight rolled his eyes at him and said, "You seem to have forgotten that we are in the Reverse Realm. Even if this place was originally built for the Seven Gods, after so many years in the Reverse Realm, you still won't allow any abnormalities to occur here?"
Long Dan touched his thin face and said, "I'm not worried about anything else. I'm just worried that something is wrong with the 'secret symbol' of the old Sky God."
Moonlight pulled him back: "You will die for money sooner or later."
She and Tianyang exchanged glances, and then they both stepped into the passage.
The muscle tissues in the passage seemed to have all hardened, and walking on them was no different from walking on stones. The only difference was that these muscle tissues were not flat, but sometimes high and sometimes low, so walking on them was not as convenient as on flat ground.
There was a corner not far in front of the passage. Tianyang gestured to walk in front, then took two steps forward, turned the corner, and saw a corpse.
Judging from his clothes, he was a gold digger like the corpses outside the hall. This was a man, and his body was almost fused with muscle tissue. Under the light, it was not difficult to see that some muscle tissue had pierced into the body like plant roots.
Looking at the corpse again, it was dry, as if all the moisture, flesh and blood inside had been sucked out by those strange roots.
"Tell me, are these things formed by extracting the flesh and blood of living things?" Moonlight also walked over and saw the corpse, and couldn't help but make such a judgment.
"It's hard to say. Also, don't you feel that our senses here are like covered with cloth, and we can't feel anything."
Moonlight nodded: "I've had this feeling since I came in. I wonder if it has something to do with these disgusting things."
She kicked a lump of flesh next to her.
"I don't know if it has anything to do with them, but the deeper you go, the greater the danger will be." Although he said this, Tianyang still moved forward.
Next, they saw several more corpses. Some of these corpses were attached to the "wall", some were integrated with the muscle tissue on the ground, and some were hanging from the top of the passage. Some "roots" pierced into the corpses from all directions, hanging them there.
Soon they saw a door, a door that was almost covered by muscle tissue. Tianyang tried to push it, but the door didn't move at all, as if it was stuck by muscle tissue.
He simply took two steps back and pointed his Ice Soul Blade, the tip of the blade releasing an invisible chill.
Soon, frost crawled over the door covered with muscle tissue. After just a few breaths, the door and the muscle tissue on its surface had frozen.
The moonlight waved the sword, outlining a few crescents that hung on the gate. When the crescents shattered, a hole was blown out of the gate covered with muscle tissue.
Tianyang took a few fluorescent sticks, broke them and threw them in, and the door suddenly lit up. Behind the door was a room, but it didn't look very big.
It was also covered with muscle tissue, and in the frontmost glowstick, Tianyang saw a heel!
There's someone in the room!
Tianyang and Yueguang looked at each other.
At this time Longdan and the others also arrived, and the people behind them naturally cast the light into the big hole and into the room.
When you see clearly the door
When seeing the scene, Longdan took a breath of cold air.
In the room behind the door, there were people standing one after another. They looked like men and women. They were standing naked in the room with their backs to the door.
The skin of these people was grayish white, even a little blue, and they were covered with dust, especially on their shoulders. No one knew how long they had been standing here.
Long Dan wiped his face and said, "What the hell is this? How long have they been standing here?"
Judging from the amount of dust on his shoulders, it is estimated that this could not have been formed in a day or two. It would probably take standing here for decades to accumulate such a layer of stuff.
Tianyang found a few pieces of gravel on the ground and threw them at the people who had their backs to the gate. The stones hit them and bounced to the ground.
Seeing that those things didn't react, Yue Guang said, "Let's go in."
"You don't want to pass by those things, do you?" Longdan shrank his neck.
Moonlight asked back, "What else? How about you stay here?"
Long Dan immediately shook his head: "Forget it then."
"Don't be anxious. Although they are not moving, we should still take some safety measures." Tianyang poured the star energy into the Ice Soul Blade, and the coldness immediately extended to the room.
After a while, the temperature in the room became extremely low, and those who were standing with their backs to the door were also frozen in the ice.
Seeing that those people had been frozen, Tian Yang said, "Okay, go in."
They went through the hole and entered the room. As soon as Longdan came in, he sneezed a few times. After Tianyang's manipulation, the room became like an ice cave.
In addition to the naked people who were frozen, even the ground and walls were covered with white frost.
Tianyang came to the first person, walked around to take a look, and immediately got goosebumps.
The man with his back to the door had dark red mushrooms growing all over his face and chest. These things were densely packed, large and small, and filled his face and chest like lumps of flesh.
His facial features were almost invisible. The mushrooms seemed to have grown out of the human body. Through the ice, one could see that the roots of the mushrooms were buried under the skin, causing the skin of the man in front of him to bulge out, with blood vessels protruding nearby.
"Why are there mushrooms growing on these people?" Longdan also saw that these people frozen in the ice had mushrooms growing all over their faces and chests, which looked very weird.
These mushroom people are like human-shaped culture tanks. The purpose of their existence is probably to cultivate those mushrooms.
"Don't worry about it, just go." Tianyang passed by another mushroom man. This time it was a woman, whose face and breasts were also covered with mushrooms.
The team quickly passed by these mushroom people. When they were far away, in the cold light of the fluorescent sticks on the ground, one of the mushroom people frozen in the ice had a dark red mushroom as big as a fist growing on his chest.
At this time, the mushroom in the ice layer cracked slightly at the top, and then spewed out a cloud of dark red smoke.
In the smoke, there were spores that were invisible to the naked eye. They adhered to the ice layer, continuously dividing, and then produced tiny dark red hyphae.
The hyphae drilled into the almost invisible pores in the ice layer, and after a moment, they drilled out from the surface of the ice layer...
From that place full of mushroom people
After leaving the room and passing through another passage, everyone saw a platform. The platform was higher than the ground, with stairs on both sides and gray stone columns arranged to form a guardrail.
In the middle of the platform is a gray-blue door with some mysterious symbols engraved on both sides, but because it is partially covered by muscle tissue, the full view cannot be seen.
Just like before, Tianyang used his Ice Soul Blade to freeze the gate to prevent the muscle tissue from mutating. Yueguang then used his Crescent Blade Qi to blast a hole.
After entering the hole, one could feel that it was a huge space. Tianyang simply fired a flare above his head. Immediately, the space was filled with light.
There is no doubt that this is a palace. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the main hall of the building, which is also the part located in the center of the building.
There are statues everywhere, countless candlesticks, stone pillars carved with intricate patterns or inscribed with mysterious symbols, huge domes, stairs, corridors... ... ...
Things here are solemn, grand, and gorgeous.
It would have been even more shocking if these things weren't covered, to varying degrees, with muscle tissue.
But at this time, this palace, because of the ubiquitous muscle tissue, feels somewhat weird.
Right in the middle of the palace, there stands a four-sided crystalline column emitting blue light. It is wrapped in a huge, almost transparent tissue that looks like some kind of biological organ.
A faint blue light shone through the column, passing through the nameless organization and slowly rotating, reminding everyone of a revolving lantern.
If you look closely at the organ, you can find tubular objects that resemble blood vessels. These objects are extremely thick and are spread all around the organ, sinking into the ground and disappearing into the hard muscle tissue.
On some statues, on giant pillars, and on muscle tissue, Tianyang and his friends saw the dark red mushrooms again. The mushrooms here were bigger and more numerous than those seen on the naked people in the previous room.
The largest mushroom is almost as tall as an adult. They grow quietly in clumps and have existed in this palace for who knows how many years.
Suddenly, Tianyang saw a dark shadow appear behind the third giant pillar in front of him. It raised its arm and pointed forward. Tianyang followed the direction of its finger and found a small door. The small door was open, and there was a corpse sitting beside the door.
Tianyang said hello to Yueguang, and the two walked over and found that the body barely looked like a gold digger, but the man's body was covered with mushrooms.
Those things grew out of his eyes, his mouth, and his chest. They were densely packed and stacked one on top of another. Tianyang touched them with his ice soul sword and they felt hard. It seemed that the mushrooms had no moisture left and were as hard as stones.
When the light shone through the small door, Tianyang discovered that it was a room. The room was not big, with some cabinets placed in it, but on the wall facing the door, he suddenly saw a figure.
It looked like a woman, with her head down and her hair loose. She opened her arms, and the front half of her arms had merged with the muscle tissue on the wall.
I thought it was a dead body, but suddenly, in the light, the woman raised her head and shouted, "Go away! You can't come in! You will wake it up!"
Tianyang felt numb all over and was terrified. He couldn't tell what condition the woman was in.
After all, is he still a human being
