The moment the number on the electronic screen of the "bad boy" turned to 0, the entire hall was silent for a moment, and then it shook violently. In an incalculable short period of time, an invisible shock wave spread out, starting from the middle hall, radiating to the back hall and the front hall, covering the entire building!
The muscle tissues and puppets in the central hall fell into chaos in an instant. They were shaken into the air, especially the puppets, which were lighter in weight. They were thrown into the air by the shock wave and then fell heavily to the ground.
When they fell, they were like a piece of broken porcelain, with flesh and bones splattered all over the ground.
Afterwards, the muscle tissue covering the palace continued to spew out juice and fragments. They had no time to adjust in the continuous shock waves that changed frequency thousands of times per second and were shaken and shattered.
Suddenly, the entire palace turned into a sea of flesh and blood. Soon, cracks began to appear on the palace's floor, pillars, statues... everything, including the dome.
Smaller objects, such as statues, shatter first, spewing out countless tiny particles that turn into dust in an instant.
Next came the columns, the walls, and finally the dome.
Moreover, the destruction spread to other places. The passages and courtyards connecting the front and back palaces were collapsing at a very fast speed. Finally, the front and back palaces were also blown to pieces. The entire palace wailed and collapsed.
Countless fine dust particles spread in all directions under the pressure, columns of smoke belched out from the ruins, and then a group of gray clouds rose out of thin air in the belly of the mountain, curling slowly.
When the shaking subsided, the originally majestic building turned into a huge ruin, with small pieces of stone still falling from great heights, making crackling sounds.
A moment later, an inhuman roar sounded from the rubble. Suddenly, several huge rocks were lifted up, and a mass of flesh and blood that could no longer maintain its shape poured out from them.
This thing seemed to be trying to repair itself. Its flesh and blood wanted to regroup, and hair-like nerves and various roots were extending from between the flesh and blood. It looked like it was trying its best to return to its original state.
Unfortunately, when its flesh and blood are about to aggregate, large-scale decay will occur, and the decay rate is very fast. The flesh and blood tissue the size of a table will turn into a pool of pus in the blink of an eye.
Those nerves and roots, which had just stretched out, turned black in color like withered and dying plants, and then turned into black powder.
The shapeless thing twisted and turned into a giant mouth, emitting a hollow roar, and then a figure crawled out from the mouth.
A woman.
She had hands and feet, and all the facial features, and looked very similar to Xu Huan, but this woman was made of pure flesh and blood, without skin or hair.
She quickly climbed out of the ground, but in the process, blood bubbles appeared all over her body, and then the blood bubbles burst, spurting out yellow-brown pus.
Her speed gradually slowed down, and her body melted rapidly. She stretched out her hand towards the ground with all her strength, but when her finger was about to touch the ground, it melted into mucus, just like a candle thrown into the fire.
She lay on the rocks, from her limbs to her body, from the surface muscle tissue to the internal organs, every part of her body and even the smallest cell was irreversibly rotting and melting.
She eventually turned into a pool of human-shaped flesh and blood. Her left eye fell off, and the nerves in that eyeball quickly turned black, but countless symbols appeared deep in the eyeball.
Finally, this eyeball
There was no rotting, no melting, and it was so conspicuous in the black sludge that was beginning to transform.
... ... ..
Drifting town.
When Tianyang opened the door of the collection room, Longdan and Yueguang looked over at the same time.
The two looked at him nervously. Tian Yang didn't keep them waiting. He took out the rubbing machine and said with a smile, "Got it. I have scanned and saved the map containing the 'secret symbol'. I can print it out when I get back."
"Very good!"
Long Dan cheered: "I knew that if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future."
"Where is the reader?" Moonlight asked.
Tian Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, "When I came back, I left Long Dan's 'bad boy' there. If that thing is really like what he said, then when we go out later, we should be able to collect the body of the reader."
In addition to the 'Bad Boy', Tianyang also used the 'Plague Evil Eye', which was equivalent to adding another layer of insurance.
Unless something unexpected happens, it is difficult for the reader to survive in this situation.
"After we get back, we'll print the map immediately, then we'll make some preparations and go look for the 'secret symbol'." Longdan was as excited as a child.
Tian Yang shook his head and said, "We have been away from the caravan for a long time. I think we should reunite with the caravan after we return. As for the 'secret symbol', we can find time to look for it later."
"Anyway, the only clue is in our hands. Unless the 'secret symbol' has been destroyed, we will be able to find it."
Moonlight nodded in agreement: "I think so too."
Seeing that both of them said so, Longdan had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
They stayed in the collection room for a while. Tian Yang saw that some time had passed, so he said, "Let's go back."
He snapped his fingers, and silver light emerged, outlining a pair of plump silver wings. When the wings spread, a mysterious ancient archway appeared in the air. The door creaked open, and looking out, the palace outside had become a ruin.
Tianyang and the other two walked out of the 'Gate of the Crack' one after another and stood on a ruin. They soon saw the pool of black mud left behind by the reader's death.
"Done, the damn thing is killed." Longdan couldn't help but whistle, feeling relieved.
Moonlight glanced at him and chuckled.
Longdan immediately remembered that this lady would have to settle his account after she returned, and his mood suddenly became heavy again.
Tianyang walked towards the pool of mud, wondering if he could find one or two relics. He came near the pool of mud, looked around, and didn't see anything strange.
Just when he was disappointed, something flashed in the corner of his eye. He looked over and found an eyeball. Glowing symbols appeared on its surface from time to time. It was those lights that caught Tianyang's attention.
Tianyang jumped down, landed near the thing, and picked it up.
Immediately, some information emerged in my mind.
'Eye of Replication: This is an item formed by some of the characteristics left behind by the 'Reader'. Using it, one can replicate the various abilities seen with one's own eyes, but there is a high chance of failure.'
'Repeatedly observing the opponent's abilities can increase the success rate of replication. Once the ability is successfully replicated, it can be saved and used indefinitely.'
'You can only save 7 abilities and gain new abilities
, it will randomly replace an existing ability.'
'It should be noted that this item can only use one ability at a time.'
... ... ... .
This is indeed an item left behind by the reader!
It is actually possible to replicate the ability. Although there is a high chance of failure, the success rate can be improved through repeated observation.
Once the copy is successful, it can be saved and used permanently, and seven abilities can also be saved.
This relic is quite useful.
Tianyang put it away, planning to replace the 'Plague Evil Eye' after returning to the Deep Sea Castle.
He even thought that after returning, he would take out some relics, use them repeatedly, and then use the "Eye of Replica" to preserve them. In this way, he would not have to carry all the relics with him when he went out, and some relics with negative effects could be "fed" to the half-human snake Suna after replicating their abilities.
Tianyang stood up and patted his pocket. He got the map of the "Secret Talisman" and obtained a "Replica Eye" here. This trip was not in vain.
Longdan dug in the ruins for a long time and took out a few relatively intact small statues and candlesticks, saying that since he had come all the way here, he must bring back some souvenirs.
As for what his intention was, it was self-evident.
Tianyang and Yueguang did not stop him. They waited until he filled the backpack and couldn't carry it anymore before leaving.
They returned along the original route, which took them half a day, and they finally returned to the ground. Walking on the scorched ground that had been burned before, Longdan was very excited, and he was guessing all the way where the "secret symbol" was stored.
Tianyang deliberately didn't tell him about the floating island he saw, which whetted Longdan's appetite and made him extremely curious.
After a while, they saw the warship floating on the sea. The light of the flares had disappeared long ago, but there were lights on the warship, so the three of them could still see where the ship was.
They found the landing boat on the rocky beach, pushed it into the sea, and then rowed towards the battleship.
When they came near the warship, Longdan found that Tianyang and Yueguang had stopped, so he said, "You guys are not going to row back alone?"
"Shut up." Moonlight said solemnly.
Long Dan knew something was going on, and dared not continue to talk nonsense, so he asked softly, "What's going on?"
Tian Yang nodded and said, "It's too quiet on the boat, and the atmosphere is not right."
"You guys wait here, I'll go see what's going on."
He quietly slid into the water from the landing boat, then swam to the battleship and came to the other side of the battleship. Tianyang used the "Fog Ghost Amulet" and passed directly between the armor plates of the battleship and came into the cabin.
Being in the adverse world, Tianyang was not polite at all. He wrapped himself in black fog and used "Dark Breathing", and suddenly became like a ghost.
He dived toward the top of the ship and came to a crew member's room. Just as he poked his head out from the ground, Tianyang suddenly saw a face with wide eyes and pale complexion.
This is a dead body!
Tianyang floated to the ground and saw a circle of bruises on the corpse's neck, apparently strangled to death.
Tianyang couldn't help but look towards the door, wondering what happened on the ship
