Half a minute later.
The hall became silent, with only a few white beetles left behind, crawling aimlessly on the ground.
The amber water was rippling slightly. The entire pool was deeper than expected, at least five meters deep. Kaxiu was not suspended in the water, but was strangely sucked to the bottom of the pool. A strong suction force kept him at the bottom.
winter!
His legs, which were covered with blue veins, suddenly exploded, and Kaxiu tried his best to jump out of the water. But a huge gravitational force came from the bottom, as if thousands of hands were pulling at his body.
The force that could have allowed him to jump to a height of three or four meters was completely offset. Kaxiu only jumped up thirty or forty centimeters before he could no longer resist the force and fell back down.
His heart sank, and he vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
After thinking for a while, Kaxiu suddenly felt another magical thing. His skin was helping him breathe. The amber liquid around him seemed to continuously infiltrate oxygen into Kaxiu's body, helping him breathe freely underwater.
"You won't let me leave but are trying your best to keep me alive?"
Kaxiu was somewhat puzzled, but he could not just sit there and wait for death. So he slowly walked around like an old man, trying to feel the edge of the pool. If there was a protrusion, he could climb up with difficulty.
A few minutes later, his right hand touched the cool pool wall.
When I leaned closer, I discovered that the pool wall was covered with mouths, some telling stories, some roaring, some pursing their lips...
All kinds of emotions seemed to be present in it.
Kaxiu took two steps back in shock, and observed it again before realizing that it was a carving on the pool wall, but it was too lifelike, looking weird and creepy.
"Climb up and try?"
His heart moved slightly, and he immediately wanted to grab the concave part of the mouth with both hands and climb up. This time, Kaxiu succeeded in climbing higher than the last time, about half a meter from the bottom of the pool. But he still fell down, because the suction force became stronger the higher he went.
When he reached a distance of half a meter, the muscles in Kaxiu's hands were already trembling slightly, and his ten fingers could hardly hold on to the depression.
He had no choice but to give up.
Afterwards, Kaxiu walked around the pool wall and found different carvings. They were the mouth, eyes, nose, ears, and palms. They should represent the five senses that people use to perceive and understand the world.
At the same time, a thin mist slowly began to form in the empty hall. Then, the mist became thicker and thicker. In a short while, the white mist covered the hall and the surrounding passages.
A black shadow was looming in the fog.
The black shadow was standing right next to the pool, and its movements were as if it was sticking its head out to look at Kaxiu below.
As the shadow appeared, the ritual track on the ground, which had turned black again, suddenly lit up. It turned into an extremely bright red, so red that it glowed, covering the entire hall.
Even though Kaxiu was at the bottom of the pool, he could sense the red light above his head. He raised his head abruptly and asked, "What's happening outside?"
"Sizzle...live...sizzle...sizzle...down...sizzle...go..."
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound like an electric current in my ears.
"What do you mean?! Survive???"
Kaxiu lowered his head in confusion, and suddenly saw that the mouths on the pool wall began to change. The various mouths began to open wide, roaring: "Ahhhhhh..."
Buzz!
Kaxiu was struck by lightning and his brain went blank in an instant.
With the mouth as the center, the eyes at a distance were all opened, the nose was raised, the ears were spread out, and the five fingers were spread out. The five senses acted on Kaxiu in an instant.
His whole body was shaken and blood started flowing from all his orifices. Then the pores on the surface of his skin also began to ooze blood, in strands.
For a moment, a torrent of fragmented information drilled into Kaxiu's head, and various picture perspectives kept switching.
It's like playing many movies in a shuffled order with skipped frames.
The picture is chaotic and absurd, but also extremely real.
Smell, taste, sight, hearing, touch… all the sensory information that humans use to understand the world is there.
It was as if Kaxiu had actually entered into a certain moment in a certain era in this world, and then switched to another person in the next second. His brain was so hot that it was about to explode.
He seems to be everywhere, in the past, present and future.
As his sight continued to rise, Kaxiu seemed to see a river running through the world. What flowed in this transparent river was not water, but fragments and pictures of history. The upper end of the river was very thin and narrow, and at a certain moment it suddenly widened.
An ancient and powerful civilization appeared in the world from nowhere. They were mysterious and independent. They ignored the mortals on the earth and only focused on their own research.
This civilization lasted for a long time, but suddenly disappeared at a certain time, followed by a long blank period.
After the blank, dots of black gradually permeated the river, and that section of the river was extremely dark, and Kaxiu could not see anything. At a certain point in the dark section of the river, the river suddenly turned, and white fog that came from nowhere enveloped the river.
What followed was the endless entanglement of black water and white fog.
Until now…
Swish!
Kaxiu suddenly opened his eyes, turned over and sat up from the bottom of the pool. His chest rose and fell violently, and he gasped for breath.
A cold sweat covered my back.
He didn't know what he was afraid of, but he felt an inexplicable tremor of fear and goose bumps all over his body.
Kaxiu slapped his aching head, and the fragmentary information he had seen before quickly became vague, as if it were a dream.
He was dazed for half a minute before he realized that the amber water had completely disappeared. He was standing on the empty surface of the pool, and the mouth on the pool wall in front of him disappeared instantly, turning into a smooth, cold black wall.
I tried jumping, but the suction at the bottom of the pool disappeared.
Kaxiu immediately jumped up and grabbed the edge of the pool with both hands.
He turned over and stood on the floor of the hall. He looked down and saw some inexplicable lines and symbols on the surface of the hall. However, it seemed to be destroyed, with large areas blank and some lines stopped halfway.
"Um?"
Kaxiu noticed that a palm-sized black Ouroboros symbol was branded on the surface of his chest. The snake's eyes and scales were lifelike, reflecting a black-purple light from different angles.
"This is?"
He reached out and touched it, but there was nothing unusual.
Kaxiu raised his head and suddenly looked at the upper right corner.
An Ouroboros symbol was suspended in the air: ∞.
He was stunned for a moment, and then tried to focus on the Ouroboros symbol as before. Immediately, a complex information flooded into Kaxiu's mind, and his figure swayed slightly.
The symbol is called Ouroboros, the blood chalice that brews the blood of immortality, and is also the rune of wisdom that guides the climb forward.
Ouroboros comes from the mysterious Aoin civilization and is said to be one of the five cornerstones leading to infinite greatness and endless distance.
What followed was a lot of incomprehensible and confusing words.
Finally, there is the finishing touch.
Draw the essence of disaster and brew spiritual blood.
so…
What is the nature of disaster? What is spiritual blood
Is this a charade
Kaxiu could guess a little about the spiritual blood, anyway, it should be a good thing. But he was confused about the nature of the disaster. Is it the obsession energy required for the ability to rewind? These two things don't seem to be the same thing, the difference is a bit big...
As Kaxiu thought about it, he seemed to hear the voice that kept him alive again. What was the black shadow in the mist planning? It led him to this relic and gave him the unknown rune of wisdom.
Although it seems like a good thing, Kaxiu hates the feeling that the development of things is controlled and manipulated by others.
It made him feel like a dangerous pawn.
Kaxiu felt a little worried, but he immediately put this emotion behind him, because he was in the past era after all.
This is a historical scene from fifty years ago!
Even if there are any plans or conspiracies, they will all become invalid the moment Kaxiu returns to the real world.
It doesn't matter even if he died in the era of retrogression.
At most, it can be considered a failure in returning and no strength can be brought back.
This time, Kaxiu's return was not stuck to a time point. He even reserved enough obsession energy for the next return.
The danger from subsequent demonic shadows is within controllable range.
Theoretically, Kaxiu doesn't need to have any extra concerns.
"Never mind, let's go out first."
He decided on his next target. There were dangerous swarms of white beetles running around in this ruin, so it was not a good time to explore.
Kaxiu didn't want to run into the group of insects again. He took a deep breath, found one of the passages and entered quickly.
Half a day later, in the middle of a cave, Kaxiu sat on the ground to rest. In front of him was a bottle and a piece of worn parchment. Unexpectedly, Kaxiu also got the secret medicine that Huang Hun accidentally got. After avoiding many traps, he even got a piece of parchment in the same stone chamber.
I can't understand the language above, but it should be related to the secret medicine.
Kaxiu was very happy to see these two things, because it meant that he was not far from the cave exit. However, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and Kaxiu was still circling in the passage.
This place is like a maze with many twists and turns. No one can tell where they are standing or how far away the exit is. In this case, all you can do is try again and again.
Fortunately, Kaxiu has become a master of boxing and can go without food or drink for half a month, so he will not be in danger for the time being.
He still has plenty of time.
A few days later, Kaxiu stood at a crossroads, hesitating. He was almost having difficulty making choices. The environment was exactly the same, the passage was exactly the same, nothing changed.
There may be traps or monsters ahead.
After all the walking, Kaxiu was mentally and physically exhausted, and his face became visibly haggard. Especially because there was danger in the ruins, he would wake up immediately at the slightest movement, which made Kaxiu even more irritable.
Exhaling, he glanced at the upper right corner.
The Wisdom Rune did not change at all, and there was no feedback. It just hung there, occupying an extra space for no reason.
This thing is useless, it's annoying just looking at it.
Kaxiu had no place to vent his restless mood, so he slowly stretched out his hand, pointed his finger as a sword, and carved a cross on the wall. This had a certain amount of help in getting out of the ruins.
It's better than doing nothing.
Suddenly, he stopped carving, held his breath and listened quietly, and a few seconds later, Kaxiu put his right cheek against the wall.
His brows were furrowed, but his eyes seemed to gradually brighten.
Dense blood light instantly covered the entire Tong Kong.
Peng!!!
Rocks exploded and scattered, and the walls shook violently.
The iron fist exploded with all its strength, blasting through the solid wall like a pile driver and rushing out like a giant black python.
Pinch an oval-shaped object with your five fingers and pull it inwards.
The young vampire's head was stuck in the middle of the hole, his eyes kept rolling and his neck looked like it was about to be torn off.
"good!"
Kaxiu laughed and punched his head back.
Then the white muscles swelled up and the huge figure rushed towards the wall like a bison.
Boom! Crash, crash...
Dust fell like rain, and he came to another parallel passage. Beside him were three frightened young vampires.
"Finally... finally... we've come a long way..."
Kaxiu showed a relieved expression on his face, and a smile appeared on his lips. Seeing his arrogant look and his companion lying on the ground, the three vampire youths rushed over with roars, their bodies swelled and deformed.
One by one, they turned into black and red bat monsters.
Kaxiu clenched his fists, unable to resist the urge. Perhaps it was because he had been holding back for too long, but now he found these ugly vampires in the state of blood gift inexplicably cute.
It's so cute that you want to use your fists to break its bones inch by inch, and use your hands to cut those strong muscle fibers. And those three round heads look like fragile watermelons...
Kasu longed to vent the brutal desire for killing in his heart.
This time, it has nothing to do with the Phantom. It should be...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
There were three muffled sounds from the wall, and several vampires' heads were roughly pressed against the wall by the iron hands, leaving dents and cracks soaked in blood. One of them, Kaxiu, used too much force, and the wall was hard enough, so he was pressed to death by the huge force.
"Cool… "
After shaking off the blood on his palm, Kaxiu twisted his neck left and right, making a series of crackling sounds. He was about to pick up the two surviving vampires, but suddenly found that the wisdom rune in the upper right corner had changed and was no longer the same!
There was a blank progress bar on the right side of the Ouroboros-shaped rune. It was very long and thin. If you look closely, you will find that there is a little blood red at the end of the progress bar, indicating that there is a very small progress.
"So the nature of the disaster is related to the dark creatures?!"
Kaxiu suddenly had an association.
He blinked and noticed more changes.
"Stone Armor Skill: Heavy Armor Mastery (2 layers +)"
There seemed to be a faint plus sign after "two floors in total", and Kaxiu's heart suddenly beat fast and his mind was in a daze.
"Ding, your plug-in has arrived..."
Shaking off the auditory hallucinations in his ears, his throat felt a little dry.
After a moment, Kaxiu tried to focus on the plus sign. Suddenly, the entire Stone Armor skill entry became blurred.
