Hearing this, Xiao Zhi propped himself up and sat up from Frost's lap, trying to explain: "That—"
"Is this what you said before?" Frost's voice suddenly appeared, interrupting what Xiao Zhi was about to say in advance.
Originally, when Xiao Zhi was speaking, he would never interrupt Xiao Zhi, but this time he somehow didn't want Xiao Zhi to say what he was going to say next, and he didn't want to hear any words with a sense of denial.
"...Yes." Xiao Zhi replied, unaware of Frost's petty thoughts.
Frost looked at Da Zhuang Zhuang and felt that this guy was much more pleasing to the eye: "Since it can find the materials needed to upgrade the Soul Chaser every time, it will definitely not be wrong this time."
He looked at the calm big lake beside him: "The Book of Dream Makers is full of accidents, let's hurry up, maybe this shit will change after a while."
Unknowingly, Frost, who usually doesn't even bother to talk, has mastered the skill of changing the topic.
When Xiao Zhi was reminded by these words, he suddenly recalled those messy memories before, if the same encounter happened again, he would not be able to bear it. Sure enough, it would be better to settle the matter first while the weather is calm, and don't bring another big cockroach or something like that.
Xiao Zhi immediately forgot whether the proprietress was or not, and he quickly stood up: "Let's go, let's go and have a look."
Frost also stood up and followed his footsteps.
Da Zhuangzhuang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on his furry head. Fortunately, it is a witty hammer soul, otherwise it might really be buried in the hands of the proprietress.
To become a qualified social animal, the ability to observe words and expressions is very important.
·
The two came to the lake with Da Zhuang Zhuang.
The lake water still looked like stagnant water without waves, Xiao Zhi stretched out his hand cautiously, and tested the lake water with his fingertips.
Sure enough, as Frost said before, the texture of the lake water is very strange, not thick like water, with a thick texture, it feels like some kind of thick soup, but the water quality is clear, just because it is too deep , It seems that the lake is dark.
"If you want to go into the water..." Xiao Zhi tried to release a fireball into the water.
The fireball did not go out after entering the water, but turned into a heavy entity like it was on the shore. After moving forward along the original track for a while, the fireball lost its driving force and slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.
The subsequent changes were too dark to see from the shore because the bottom of the lake was too dark.
This is good news, it shows that Xiao Zhi's fireball can still be used as a physical attack underwater, and it is not restricted like in the outside world.
I don't know if the water in the Book of Dreamers can breathe, but in order to prevent accidents, Xiao Zhi still opened his backpack and took out two bottles of underwater medicine. He drank one bottle by himself, and handed the other bottle to Frost, so as to keep the two people free to move and communicate underwater.
As for Da Zhuang Zhuang, forget it, the soul body can speak in the water.
Xiao Zhi discussed with Frost, and it was still Frost who walked in front, and the two entered the big lake one after the other.
There was silence in the lake, the world was originally gray, but after entering the water, Xiao Zhi felt that everything in front of his eyes became even darker as if covered with a layer of translucent black glass.
Only the silver hair of Frost in front is still dazzling.
The two gradually descended, and the surroundings became darker and darker. Xiao Zhi had to take out the soul lamp as lighting. When they got here, the light of the soul lamp also turned grayish white. It felt a little less weird, and looked more normal up.
Gradually approaching the bottom of the lake, Xiao Zhi saw the gravel and clods that fell together with him before, they really sank to the bottom of the lake and piled up into a hill.
There are many messy things at the bottom of the lake, not only these fragments, but also a lot of dead wood, limbs of unknown animals, building debris... Even Xiao Zhi saw a big wardrobe. God knows how the wardrobe fell here. In this illogical world, nothing feels strange.
But along the way, Xiao Zhi didn't see any trace of living things.
The two kept advancing at the bottom of the lake, and under the guidance of Da Zhuang Zhuang, they headed in a certain direction.
Suddenly, many blurred figures appeared in the line of sight, and they were on the route they were advancing.
Xiao Zhi and Frost were immediately vigilant, they clenched their weapons tightly, and slowed down their progress, slowly approaching the position of the figure.
After careful inspection, they discovered that all these figures were in a single pose. Although the poses looked vivid, all the figures were still.
After getting closer, Xiao Zhi realized that they were some white statues. Half of the statues were submerged in the mud at the bottom of the lake, and half were exposed. Although the movements of the statues are lifelike, and they should be males in terms of body shape, but none of them can see their faces clearly, and their facial features are completely blurred together, with only slight protrusions and depressions.
A statue raised its head to the sky in a prayerful pose that looked like one that Brace's cultists would strike countless times each day.
There are many praying statues, but the postures are slightly different.
There were prayer statues at the bottom of the lake, and Xiao Zhi had an intuition that these statues might be some kind of clue.
But... what are you referring to
He shuttled slowly between the statues and looked them over carefully.
Seeing that Xiao Zhi's movements slowed down, Frost stopped moving forward. He swam to Xiao Zhi's side and followed quietly.
Da Zhuangzhuang didn't speak anymore, and he was a pet with peace of mind. Anyway, the direction where the statue is located is roughly the same as the direction where Xilia's dream is located, and there is no need for it to correct it.
After crossing a pile of praying statues, Xiao Zhi suddenly caught a different statue in his peripheral vision.
The back of the statue is bent, and the hands are tightly clenched into fists, making the appearance of slapping the ground hard.
Taking a closer look, Xiao Zhi found that the statue's arm muscles were bulging, and the veins were also protruding, showing how hard he was exerting himself, but his face was still blurred, and no expression could be seen.
In such body language, Xiao Zhi pronounced the word "pain" and beat the ground hard, which seems to be a gesture that people often appear when they feel pain or annoyance.
Starting from this statue in a painful pose, the number of statues in praying poses in front gradually decreased, and were gradually replaced by various poses expressing pain.
keep going.
The posture of the statue changed again. This time, the statue appeared in a ostentatious gesture, with both hands held high, palms turned into fists, and waving towards the sky, as if expressing anger.
Xiao Zhi turned the soul lamp to the other side again, and saw a statue holding something in both hands and throwing it forward.
Xiao Zhi was thoughtful: "Smashing things..."
This is also one of the actions of human beings to express anger, and it widely appears in various film and television dramas or quarrel scenes.
Xiao Zhi was engrossed in watching it, and accidentally bumped into a certain statue.
The statue, which was supposed to be half buried in the mud, fell down with a light bump and fell to the side, exposing the part of the statue buried in the mud.
It was only then that Xiao Zhi discovered that the buried part of the statue was actually very shallow, only about ten centimeters, no wonder it fell down when hit.
At the same time, Xiao Zhi also saw clearly that this statue was not as tall as he had expected before, its body only reached the thigh root, and further down the leg should be empty, as if it had been cut off.
Xiao Zhi frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to gently push another statue.
The statue also fell under this light push, revealing the lower half of the previous one, which also had no legs.
Checked several more, all the same.
Frost approached: "Xiaoqi, what's the matter?"
Xiao Zhi pointed to the overturned statues: "Prayer, no legs, did you think of anyone?"
Frost: "You mean Greata?"
Xiao Zhi nodded, and he looked back at the statues: "Prayer, pain, anger... Is this talking about Greata's psychological changes after entering the Book of Dreamers?"
It doesn't look good...
Xiao Zhi couldn't help wondering, after hundreds of years of being restrained in this absurd world, could Greata still be able to maintain its previous appearance? In other words, changes will definitely happen, and what he should think about is what Greata has become now.
Xiao Zhi thought about his previous experience, and imagined how Greyata faced these hundreds of years alone... It was really a nightmare experience.
Xiao Zhi could only hope in his heart that Greata would not become too exaggerated.
Xiao Zhi raised the soul lamp and looked forward: "Let's go, there are still statues ahead."
They continued on, following the path formed by the statue.
After a while, a different statue finally appeared in front of him.
The movements of these statues are bigger than the previous ones. Their hands are basically waving, and their mouths are wide open, revealing a deep black hole. It looks less popular and more sinister. smell.
Xiao Zhi looked at the mouth shape of the statue, is this shouting
no, wait...
Although it is difficult to distinguish the face of the statue, it can still be seen that the corners of the mouth are grinning to both sides. If you shout, the corners of the mouth will not face to the two sides, and the mouth shape will appear oval.
This should be the mouth shape of a big smile.
Some statues laughed on their backs; some laughed lying on the ground, exposing the mutilated lower body without any scruples; What is the state.
But without exception, the corners of each statue's mouth are upturned and opened wide, making a wild laugh.
Under the illumination of the soul lamp, Xiao Zhi stood among countless statues laughing wildly, as if he heard Greyata's crazy laugh full of sarcasm, the laughter continued, dispelling the dead silence at the bottom of the lake.
After contacting the Archbishop whom he saw in the copy of Caesar's Church, and seeing the scene in front of him, Xiao Zhi inexplicably felt a little mocking.
Greyata, who is gentle, humorous, steady and reliable, gradually went crazy in the Dreamer's Book and was gradually forgotten by the world; while Andre, who had exhausted tricks and bloody hands, enjoyed the glory and praise outside, and even ranked as the Pope He became the most honorable person in Blaise.
If there is a God in this world, how can He tolerate such a thing
While thinking, a strong and strong voice sounded weakly: "Boss..."
Xiao Zhi turned his head to look at it: "Huh? What?"
Da Zhuangzhuang pointed to something held in a statue's hand: "Silia's Dream."
Xiao Zhi looked over the big and strong fingers, and found that it was a statue that made a gesture of holding something with both hands, then looked up and laughed, and the statue was indeed holding something in its hands.
But... that thing looks like a pile of paper...
Still used waste paper.
Xiao Zhi looked at Da Zhuangzhuang suspiciously: "Are you sure?"
Da Zhuang Zhuang flew over and smelt the things in the statue's hands, and couldn't help scratching his head: "It's indeed the smell of Xilia's dream... It's the same as the one I smelled at Master Baluqiang."
Da Zhuangzhuang recalled: "Silia's Dream is known as one of the most beautiful materials in the world. It is translucent throughout, but there are changing streamers on it, and it has different performances in different environments and light. There used to be a king who wanted to embed it on his crown, but he would be drawn into the dream if he came into contact with Silia's dream directly, so he gave up."
Xiao Zhi observed the piece of paper again, except that it was round in shape, there was almost no similarity with Da Zhuang Zhuang's description.
Xiao Zhi rubbed his chin: "Maybe this is the so-called 'different performance in different environments and light'?"
After all, the Book of Dreamers is not a normal environment, and strange changes seem to be understandable. It would be a strange thing if Xilia's dream was exactly the same as when she was outside.
Xiao Zhi thought for a while: "Then let's put it away first, and then go out and have a look. If we make a mistake, it means we have no fate with it."
Da Zhuangzhuang nodded: "Yeah."
After inquiring about Da Zhuang Zhuang, Xilia's Dream was not dangerous other than not touching it directly, Xiao Zhi directly put it in his backpack.
Da Zhuang Zhuang also went back to the hammer of Master Balu Qiang contentedly, saying that he wanted to experience the deliciousness of Xilia's dream up close.
Xiao Zhi and Frost continued to advance at the bottom of the lake.
Not long after I went out, the original road sign-like statue disappeared. After passing the last statue in a crazy laughing posture, only the mud, debris and a vast lake at the bottom of the lake remained in front of me.
Xiao Zhi thought about it: "The clue is broken..."
Frost asked: "Would you like to take a look at the lake? These statues appear at the bottom of the lake. Maybe Greta is not far from here."
Xiao Zhi looked around, but didn't see any clues: "This is also a way of thinking, although everything in the Dream Maker's Book cannot be deduced with common sense, but maybe..."
Right at this point, Xiao Zhi suddenly heard the sound of a hard object bumping behind him.
His words paused, and he turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice came. But they saw that the statues that were quiet before were all moving now, they were slightly swaying in the lake water, and tilted towards the direction where Xiao Zhi and the two were, as if they were curiously spying.
The sound of the statue's knocking seemed dull in the water, but it was continuous and disturbing.
Frost took a step forward, drew his sword and stood in front of Xiao Zhi, staring at the statue warily, ready to attack at any time.
"Wait..." Xiao Zhi suddenly pressed Frost's shoulder, "It seems that it's not the statues that are moving by themselves, but something in the water is coming this way."
Frost looked intently, and sure enough, he found an inconspicuous junction in the water, as if a giant as transparent as the water was approaching. Its huge body moved the water, and also pushed the statues crooked. There was a knocking sound backwards.
Xiao Zhi traced the size of this thing with his eyes, and found that he couldn't see the side all at once. This transparent thing almost occupied the entire position behind them, lifted up the mud at the bottom of the lake, and was constantly approaching them.
God knows what this is!
No, ghosts probably don't know either...
Xiao Zhi made a decisive decision, he grabbed Frost and said, "Go, don't be tough with this thing."
Accompanied by the two figures, they quickly moved away in the water, heading away from the unknown giant.
Finding that his prey was running away, the unknown thing under the water became angry, and suddenly a huge vortex appeared at the bottom of the lake. All the statues standing still at the bottom of the lake were overturned and sucked in. The mud covered them, and they attacked Xiao Zhi and the others together.
Everything underwater began to twist, Xiao Zhi felt obvious suction, as if a pair of invisible big hands were pulling him, dragging him backwards.
As a mage, Xiao Zhi, no matter how rough he is usually, his physical strength is still a shortcoming.
Under the pull of the current, he felt that his progress became more and more difficult, and he even began to retreat gradually.
His only movement skill is the flame illusion, but the flame illusion will produce a figure that is exactly the same as the main body. In the world of the Book of Dreamers where magic skills can turn into living creatures, it is difficult for Xiao Zhi to predict that an identical self will What an accident.
Xiao Zhi was considering whether to use the flame phantom at an unknown risk, but suddenly he felt a hand with strong joints holding his hand, and that hand held Xiao Zhi tightly, as if no matter what happened, He won't even let go.
Xiao Zhi followed that hand to look over, and only saw a head of silver hair fluttering freely in the lake.
It's Frost.
Frost didn't look back, he held onto Xiao Zhi tightly and led him to swim forward quickly.
The vortex behind him was still expanding, and all the sundries around were receding under the force of the vortex. Only the two with their hands clasped were moving against the current.
The suction force of the water flow was getting stronger and stronger, but Frost's forward movement did not stop at all. He held onto Xiao Zhi tightly and moved forward firmly.
Seeing such a scene, the things behind him seemed to be even more angry. Xiao Zhi heard a strange roar coming from the direction behind him. It didn't sound like a living thing, but it made people feel it clearly. emotions into it.
A thick jet of water suddenly hit the position of the two of them. It was huge and fast, like a shell fired from its chamber.
Seeing this, Frost grabbed Xiao Zhi tightly, let him approach him, and then disappeared in place with a teleportation, making the water flow empty.
The figures of the two appeared not far away, and then another jet of water surged toward them.
But at this time, Frost had already discovered a branch at the bottom of the lake, and quickly led Xiao Zhi to swim across it. This is a narrow river channel passing through the lake, but it is not a problem to accommodate two people.
The water column hit the surrounding rock walls fiercely, but did not hurt the two of them at all.
The angry roar came again, and the sound of being hit continuously came from the mouth of the river, but the thing at the bottom of the lake seemed to be unable to leave the range of the lake, and could only attack its surroundings frantically to vent its anger.
Unfortunately, no matter how angry it was, the two quickly left in the river.
·
After swimming for a while, I finally couldn't hear the movement behind me.
Xiao Zhi and Frost found a place where the water was shallow and went ashore. After landing, they found that their clothes were still dry and not stained with water at all. Probably this was also the magical effect of the Dreamer's Book.
Xiao Zhi didn't have the time to think about anything else, he collapsed on the ground like a salted fish king: "Huh..."
Frost didn't seem to have changed, he stretched out his hands to straighten Xiao Zhi's messy hair and clothes.
After panting for a while, Xiao Zhi turned to look at Frost: "Aren't you tired, Asen?"
Frost shook his head: "Fortunately, sometimes a fight takes several days, which is more tiring than this."
Xiao Zhi felt a little prickly: "..."
This animal has the same physical strength...
"hahahahahahahahahaha… "
Suddenly, crazy laughter came from not far away.
There was madness in that hoarse voice, as if he would die in the next second, it made people feel a little uncomfortable. Accompanied by laughter and the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, it seemed that someone was laughing and smashing the surroundings, ruthlessly destroying everything around them.
The two couldn't help but looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a black lacquered three-masted sailboat parked alone on the ground, with no waterway connecting it around.
The three-masted sailing ship is very large, standing there like a mountain, with mottled traces all over the surface, as if it has experienced countless sailings and battles.
From the windows, there was not a single lighted room, but the laughter came from inside the sailboat.
There was a pause for a moment.
After that, another hoarse voice sounded:
"kill… "
"Kill... Patriot..."
"Kill... hahahaha..."
Xiao Zhi and Frost exchanged glances, and at the same time thought of a person—Greata.
The author has something to say: Little Theater
Xiao Zhi: Do you think I am old
Asen: Hmm...
Xiao Zhi: Hey, it seems that yours is bigger.
Boss: Do you two take so long to buy chicken legs? !
