One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, the ashes seemed to be supported by an invisible force, floating nimbly in the air, and from time to time a tiny flame flashed on the surface.
They came to the door of the archives and tried to find a gap to get in, but the metal door was so tightly sealed that even the lock hole did not allow any gaps.
The ashes were unwilling to give up, and they spread out. Suddenly, a few pieces of ashes rose above the passage and drilled in through the vent.
The remaining ashes followed suit as if they had received a revelation, and a gray dragon appeared in the passage. Countless ashes rushed into the vents and disappeared.
In the archives, Tianyang was still reading the base diary.
In the first dozen pages, the records are basically some major events in the base, but these major events have nothing to do with the grave, and there is no mention of the end of the reverse world. More about the progress tracking of some projects in the base.
This information might be of interest to the fortress's top brass, but Tianyang is more concerned about the progress of the investigation into the tomb, or the details of the end of the world.
When he turned to the back of the base diary, Tianyang saw the word "grave" again.
'In April 2071 AD, Professor Fan Wenzhe finally came back. After more than a year, the professor must have made some amazing discoveries in the tomb. When I saw him today, he had lost a lot of weight. His beard was untidy and he looked listless. I asked him about the tomb, but he didn't say anything. He locked himself in his room as soon as he returned to the base.'
'On the 17th of the same month, Professor Fan had been in his room for more than half a month. In the past half month, except for the food delivery staff, he did not see anyone, including me. According to people who have seen him, the professor is not in a good condition. He would sit in the room for a long time and occasionally yell nervously. Maybe I should find a doctor to see him.'
'On the 25th of the same month, I received new news. Of the investigation team organized by the professor, only he and another person survived. That person is called Ma Donglai. He is a soldier with rich combat experience. He is the professor's bodyguard and the leader of the team. Ma Donglai went to Base No. 2 and said that the professor asked him to deliver something over there. What could it be?'
'I contacted Base 2 and got a very shocking news. Ma Donglai went crazy. Just yesterday, he shot himself. Before he died, he sternly warned others not to try to find the grave. Why? The personnel of Base 2 also didn't find the answer. I think only the professor knows. I have to talk to him. '
'In early May, the situation outside was getting worse and worse, and the daylight hours had been shortened to five hours. Severe cold and scorching heat alternated throughout the day, and the only ones who could survive on the surface were those with demonic diseases. They had become something else, and what was even more terrifying was that I heard that some survivors actually worshipped them and offered them sacrifices as gods. Not only was this world doomed, but it was also crazy!'
'On the 3rd of the same month, Professor Fan Wenzhe finally agreed to talk to me and let me bring a doctor to see him. When I saw him in the room, I could hardly recognize him. The professor who used to be gentle and refined now looked like a barbarian. He hadn't taken care of his appearance for a long time, and there was a strange smell in the room, and clothes were thrown everywhere. My God, except for his desk, what was the difference between other places and garbage dumps? '
'The conversation is over. I am surprised that Professor Fan is in very good spirits today. He is clear and precise in his words. But because of this, I doubt whether everything I heard is true. Regarding the grave, the professor actually... '
Suddenly, the boy's eyes went dark. It turned out that the cool light of the fluorescent stick had gone out. He was about to take out another one so that he could continue reading.
Suddenly, the black fog gave him some information.
Something's coming out of the vent!
Tianyang immediately put away the base diary and looked vigilantly at a vent in the corner of the archive. The isolation layer and the ceiling there were an inseparable whole. Unless it was forcibly demolished, it was impossible to enter the archive from the isolation layer.
However, with the dim light of the glow stick in the corner, the boy saw a piece of ash floating down from the metal grid of the isolation layer.
Tianyang was stunned. What is this
More ashes gradually fell, and it seemed as if a gray snow was falling in the archives. They fell silently and kept spinning in the air.
Although these things seem harmless, Tianyang's instinct reminds him again and again that they are very dangerous!
The boy took out the key, turned around and walked to the door, and inserted the key to the archive into the keyhole.
He had to leave here. No matter what mysterious things those ashes contained, the limited space in the archives was clearly not in his favor.
No matter what you have to face, you have to get out of here first.
Just as the young man turned around, the drifting ashes suddenly accelerated and rolled towards Tianyang. Halfway through, the ashes combined into pieces to form an arm.
This arm is fat, rough, twisted and scary!
It was like a devil's hand, with clear outlines of sharp claws. Although it was formed by many sticky ashes, it powerfully grabbed the boy's back.
Ashes moved silently, but the black fog promptly fed this information to Tianyang. From the model constructed by the black fog, Tianyang clearly "saw" that strange arm reaching out to him.
Crouch and roll.
Tianyang dodged calmly. At the same time, with Hei Ting in his hand, a twisting black electric snake instantly popped out from the end of the hilt.
When the young man turned around and swung it, the electric snake was gathered by an invisible force and formed into the shape of a straight sword.
The lightning sword light slashed through the gray arm, easily splitting the arm into two.
Only then did Tianyang see clearly that the arm was only half, with ashes at the end that had not yet completely stuck together, and they were transitioning into the fluttering gray snow behind.
The gray strange hand was cut off by Hei Ting, and a flash of fire flashed on the broken surface. Tian Yang could see clearly that the arm was actually hollow!
Beneath its surface made of ash, there is no flesh or bones at all, only nothingness!
The gray arm stopped, and with a bang, countless ashes scattered, floating quietly in the air like harmless dust.
Suddenly, a whirlwind blew in the room, and countless ashes were attracted by the whirlwind, forming a swirling ash cloud.
Amid the howling gray clouds, a shape was gradually outlined.
Tianyang did not observe the shape, he noticed that even though it was cut off by Heiting, the aura released by the gray cloud did not weaken at all.
In other words, Hei Ting just stopped the gray arm but did not cause any damage to what it represented.
This surprised Tianyang. Since he obtained Black Ting, he had never seen anything that could not be destroyed by Black Ting.
So the boy continued his unlocking mission. It would be best to leave this sealed space as soon as possible while the shape in the archives had not yet fully formed.
Perhaps the figure was busy concentrating its body, so it did not try to stop Tianyang, allowing him to turn the key, open the metal door, and slip out.
After coming out of the door, Tianyang did not stop, but moved forward at full speed away from the archives.
He didn't look back, but through the feedback from the black fog, he knew that the thing had chased him out!
In the model constructed by the black fog, Tianyang saw that it was a humanoid figure, but it only had some human features, for example, its upper body was very similar to that of a human.
But its lower body looks like some kind of reptile, with obvious anti-joint structure and a thick tail.
There are blade-like things growing on its back, and sharp thorn-like things on its arms, shoulders and tail.
This strange creature was not much slower than Tianyang, and its body was obviously much bigger and heavier than the boy. But when it ran, it seemed to be weightless, so light and agile that it was totally unlike a body of its size.
During the chase, it crashed into the wall of the corner when passing through some bends. Its shape slightly collapsed, but soon recovered and then ran directly on the vertical wall.
After Tianyang realized that he couldn't get rid of the other person, he stopped and reached out to press lightly on the Nightmare Mask.
An invisible wave spread out and passed by the thing.
The thing made of ashes was unaware of anything, and even opened its mouth to let out a roar that sounded unreal. It pounced on the boy who had stopped, and waved its hand away.
The arms grew suddenly, and the originally thick and fat arms stretched into sharp gray spears.
The gray gun instantly pierced into the boy's body, and a bright stream of fire spurted out from the tip of the gun! The stream of fire pierced through the boy's body, and it hit the ground, burning the metal plate ground red and melting a bowl-sized gap.
This ash monster was definitely first-rate in terms of speed and power. Unfortunately, it only hit the air.
The figure of the young man was nothing more than a small dream that Tianyang created for him.
As early as when the monster raised its arms, Tian Yang had already circled behind it. He was a little surprised that the nightmare mask could work.
This means that although it was formed from ashes, this monster is obviously a special form of life. Because only living things can be pulled into dreams.
Similarly, as long as it is a living thing, it can be destroyed!
The black thunder was high in the sky, and the lightning was striking.
Tianyang slashed down with a sword.
Thunder roared in the passage!
The lightning curtain, composed of countless fine black electric lights, looked like a black dragon with bared fangs and claws, rushing towards the ash monster wildly, violently, and ferociously.
The monster then realized that he had been tricked. He turned around suddenly and saw two scarlet spots on the man's head.
But in the next moment, it was swallowed up by the dark and deep thunderstorm!
A deafening roar sounded in the passage, and the violent energy released by the black thunder disappeared in an instant like a torrent. When the energy of the thunderstorm was exhausted, the passage was completely deformed.
Everywhere there were distorted traces of damage caused by the thunderstorm, and the passage seemed to be severely ravaged by a pair of invisible giant hands. There were still leaping black arcs of electricity in the air, and the breath of destruction and death silently permeated the space.
But at this moment, a piece of ash quietly flew up from the ground, slowly turning, and the flames swept across the surface...
