When Shen Yao noticed something strange, he suddenly stepped on the empty space. Fortunately, he had slowed down and did not fall forward.
After stabilizing his body and standing still, he calmed down and could feel that there was something living under the interrupted road in the darkness directly ahead. It was definitely not a human being, but some kind of huge monster. The air temperature in front has increased, and there is a strange smell. If you listen carefully, you can even vaguely hear the breathing of the creature.
"Another human..." There was a voice, and judging from the volume, it seemed like a very large creature was speaking in human language.
Shen Yao didn't know if the other person was talking to him, and even if he was, the other person's tone didn't seem to be human at all.
"What's your name? Human," the voice asked.
Divine Key judged from the echo that there should be a large space in front of him. The top was still closed, and the bottom was at least a hundred meters deep. The creature that was speaking was squatting at the bottom.
He didn't know whether he should answer, but if he thought about it carefully, where else could there be other human beings here besides himself
Shen Yao thought for a while and replied: "We humans usually give our names before asking each other for a title."
"It is clearly a humble creature, yet so arrogant. It always hopes that other individuals will show humility to itself, in order to experience the emptiness of... dignity." The voice replied: "But you are more polite than the last human who came here. There is much more, let me tell you, my name is... Seraphim."
"Are you also a creature in the Garden of Eden?" God Key asked.
"Garden of Eden?" Seraphim hesitated for a few seconds: "Humph... Human being, were you sent here from the Hanging Garden? Let me think about it... The one who can open the rift in space... except for the cherubim. That is Yang Jian."
"Is the man with three eyes really called Yang Jian?" Shen Yao asked curiously.
"We didn't have names originally, but Cherubim gave them to us. He said that in the Fifth Kingdom, we were regarded as characters in myths and legends. We were each given a name, and people also made up many stories about us. To convey something they want to express." Seraphim paused and asked: "So... human beings, back to the question just now, what should I call you."
"Call me God Key." He replied, thinking in his mind: Why do Seraphim call human society the fifth kingdom? What are the first four kingdoms
"Hmm... not like a common human name. Is it some kind of title?"
"Just take it as such." Shen Yao said: "The name is not important, what is important is who you are."
"Well said, Divine Key. So who are you?" Seraphim said: "Why are you in the Hanging Garden, and why did Yang Jian send you to me?"
"Why don't you ask your friends yourself?" Shen Yao asked.
"Of course it's because... this is my cage, and I can't get out at all." Seraphim said.
"What? This is a cage?" Shen Yao felt something was wrong. The meaning of cage was... no exit.
"What? What do you think it is?"
"I thought it was a maze or something." Shen Yao simply sat down cross-legged and told the truth, and heard the other party say that he was imprisoned here. He then realized that the huge creature in the darkness had no ill intentions, and might even want to escape just like him.
"Yes, there are mazes here, countless mazes. One is connected to the other, and where you are standing now is the exit of one of them." Seraphim said: "Human beings, tracing back to their origins, came out of the ocean. Creature, so you came from the 'blue' road and came to me."
"Your cage is the end of the maze, so can I think that there is no way out here?" God Key asked.
"Of course there is, but I can't get out." The seraphim said, "The cherubim have set a curse to imprison me forever."
"Isn't that cherub you are talking about your companion... or... the same kind?" Shen Yao said.
"Both he and I have the ability to spy on the earth in the 'garden'." Seraphim replied: "One hundred years after hiding in the Hanging Garden, the cherubim imprisoned me here. He said that I was turning into a human being. , my language and my way of thinking were tainted because I saw too much and was too absorbed in it.”
"It turns out that here... this kind of reason can sentence people to life imprisonment..." Shen Yao thought.
"After being imprisoned, I was still able to come into contact with some creatures of other races. They came from various universes and entered the cracks in time and space for various reasons. Most of them were intelligent life, and occasionally there were creatures with lower levels of evolution. . This place where I am is like the bottom of a funnel, where the ends of countless tributaries converge. Of course, not all creatures can come out of the maze and come to me." Seraphim said: "You are lucky. , to be able to get here, if you explore in the other direction, you are likely to get lost in an almost endless space.”
Shen Yao always felt horrified when he heard this. He cleared his throat: "Um... Let's talk about the topic just now. You said there is a way out here? It's just that you can't go out, so can I?"
"Wait a minute. I have answered many of your questions, but you did not answer my previous question. Why did Yang Jian send you here?" Seraphim suddenly asked.
God Key was just about to blurt out and tell the truth to the other party, but at this moment he realized a problem. Since Seraphim said that many creatures had come here, and initially he said, "You are better than the last human who came here." Much more polite” So…where are those creatures now? Apart from the seraphs, there was no sign of life in the darkness.
Thinking of this, Shen Yao felt numb in his back. Could this monster be planning to chat to relieve his boredom, and then open his mouth to eat people
"I think... Yang Jian wants you to kill me." Shen Yao had stood up and entered an alert fighting state.
"Interesting... There is some kind of energy reaction in your body." Seraphim felt the changes in the divine key: "Do you want to fight with me?"
"It depends on your attitude." Shen Yao replied coldly.
"I don't want to hurt you, human. If there is anything between you and my compatriots... In the words of your humans... festivals, you can go to them to solve it. It has nothing to do with me." Seraphim replied.
"Then can I ask, how are the creatures that came out of the maze before and successfully came here?" God Key said.
"All dead," the seraphim replied.
Shen Yao said in his heart: Sure enough...
Unexpectedly, the seraphim continued: "It is very regrettable that from a biological point of view, they are too fragile. Most of them need to supplement some kind of energy to survive. Taking you humans as an example, the energy you need is air and water. And food. In my case, I only need air to survive. Outside the atmospheric environment, the body will not be destroyed by its own internal pressure like humans, but the breathing cannot stop for too long. "
"So... they all starved to death?" Shen Yao asked.
"Most of them, and some died of poisoning because they were not adapted to the oxygen in the air. I had to dispose of their bodies. Because ten of them would have sex." Seraphim replied: "These Of all the biological clocks that have come here over the years, only one was killed by my own hands... that is the human being who came here before you."
"What?" Shen Yao's heart raised again: "Why do you want to kill him?"
"He seemed to be going crazy when he appeared from where you were standing. I tried to communicate with him verbally, but he kept roaring and attacked me." Seraphim said: "His energy... is higher than yours Much stronger, he even threatened... Well. It should be said that he seriously threatened my life, and I could only fight back." He thought for a few seconds and then said: "I vaguely remember. In his crazy words, he mentioned Here comes his name—Javidon Hal."
As soon as this statement came out. God Key was impotent at that time, just have fun! It turns out that after being kicked into the void above Hell Island, he ended up here? And he was killed by you
"I think... we should solve the problem rationally and peacefully." Shen Yao's tone immediately softened: "Well... Since you have no objection to the reason why I came here, and you are not Yang Jian's executioner, can you tell me How do I get out?"
Seraphim was silent for a while before replying: "Actually, I would like to ask you to tell me more about what has happened in the Fifth Kingdom over the years. After all, the earth was once my hometown, and I am quite curious about humans."
"Not counting how many things I can tell you before I starve to death... The key is that I am in a hurry now and there are companions waiting for me outside." Shen Yao replied.
"Okay, I respect your life and your will." Seraphim said: "And you are also the only person so far, other than that madman, who has the conditions to escape from here."
God Key is really glad that Javidon's mind is no longer normal. If that guy sat down and had a few words with the seraphim, wouldn't it be possible to kill him back
At this time, Seraphim said: "Watch your eyes, God Key."
As soon as he finished speaking, a bright light suddenly burst out in front of Shen Yao's eyes. He had been in the darkness for a long time, and he would definitely not be able to bear it at this time. But for a moment before closing his eyes, Shen Yao vaguely saw the scenery in front of him. : It is a very huge hollow cylindrical space. Around this space, there are countless exits of passages, of different sizes, densely packed like a honeycomb. The one I am in is just one of the most inconspicuous exits.
At the bottom of the column, stood a giant emitting strong light. Since the Seraphim itself was the light source at the moment, it was impossible to see his appearance clearly. God Key could only catch a glimpse of six giant wings, spread high, and the feathers on them were also Glowing.
"My hands can barely pass through the crack, but my body cannot." Seraphim said: "I will send you back to the crack, but you have to open the door at the other end yourself, and you will know how to do it.
When you go back, it won't be as easy as when you came. Yang Jian's golden light is no longer around you, and you have to rely on your own energy to protect your body from being torn apart. And...if you see the cherubim, bring him a message for me..."
… …
While Shen Yao was chatting with Seraphim, Yang Jian did not catch up with Tian Yi because the dark water was not as easy to deal with as he imagined.
It is said that after Yang Jian killed Dark Water, he was about to turn around and leave. At this time, he instinctively wanted to throw Dark Water on the three-pointed two-edged halberd. Unexpectedly, An Shui only paused there for a few seconds after his chest was penetrated. Then it slides all the way down the opponent's weapon, just like you use a bamboo stick to stick a piece of pudding vertically. After a few seconds, the pudding will fall down wrapped in the bamboo stick.
There was no expression on An Shui's face. The body does not bleed, only black water flows, and there is no obvious reaction such as twitching or crying in pain. Therefore, when being picked on the sword, it is completely impossible to tell whether he is dead or alive.
Yang Jian just saw him frozen there and thought the battle was settled. Who would have expected that this kind of injury would actually be neither painful nor itchy to Dark Water. He followed the trend and clung to Yang Jian's wrist holding the halberd.
"It seems that there is a reason why you did not become extinct with your kind." Yang Jian instantly stretched out his left hand and accurately captured An Shui's head. "As far as I know, after your body is severely injured, you should lose the ability to move, and it will take a long time to complete its self-healing." He grabbed Anshui's head and slowly lifted it up. An Shui's body had to move with his head, so it became a glue-like state and separated from Yang Jian's right wrist.
"But look at you..." When Yang Jian spoke, An Shui's body had already returned to its original human form. Moreover, his forearms turned into the shape of sickles and reached into Yang Jian's left palm. Try to push the fingers holding your head outward.
"The speed of self-healing is so amazing, and it can quickly turn the body into various weapons." Yang Jian continued what he just said: "But the head should still be the weak point." He shook his left hand violently. He crushed An Shui's head to pieces.
The headless black body fell vertically and fell to the ground.
When Anshui was shot in the head by a gunsmith in the ruins, it took him a long time to recover his head. During this period, he was unable to move.
Yang Jian didn't know this, but looking at the body that was no longer moving on the ground and the neck that was slowly recovering, he roughly guessed the same.
However, today's Dark Water is no longer what it used to be. After devouring many humans and experiencing many battles, his strength is unimaginable...
Regardless of the Fourth Kingdom or the Second Kingdom, everyone is not human. Maybe the creatures in the Second Kingdom have natural fighting abilities that are at the level of demon gods, but the potential of this alien that survived the Dark Water Tribe is endless.
When Darkwater acquired human knowledge, experience, and other memories, events that were contrary to the Darkwater tribe's concept of logical supremacy caused his consciousness to gradually change. Humans are a warlike race, always have been, and will always be. When this talent collides with the thoughts of the Dark Water Tribe and is blended together, it creates an ultimate warrior who becomes braver and stronger the more he fights.
"Your guess is wrong." An Shui's voice sounded.
Yang Jian had just turned around to leave. Hearing this sentence, he couldn't help but turn his head again in surprise. He found An Shui standing there safe and sound. His head had naturally healed, otherwise he wouldn't be able to speak. Moreover, the green light in his eyes was actually It also changed, turning into a red light.
"I don't have a weakness." Dark Water continued: "But you do."
"It seems that I won't be able to escape unless I completely eliminate you." After Yang Jian said this, he shook up the three-pointed two-edged halberd. A strong energy covered the halberd body and swept out with a single blow. How much slower is the move to chase Tianyi
Although Anshui couldn't get out of the opponent's attack range as easily as Tianyi, Anshui still had the speed to retreat beyond the tip of the halberd.
Having avoided the entity with the three-pointed two-edged halberd, it still had to receive the invisible giant force rushing towards it. If a powerful ability user were touched by this force, he would definitely feel as if his chest was hit hard by a big hammer, and he would see stars in his eyes and vomit three liters of blood. But Dark Water is not afraid. His body can liquefy, and the impact of the incorporeal body can be easily transmitted and dispersed.
Yang Jian didn't hesitate even if he missed a move. Lean forward and take advantage of the situation to attack. The three-pointed two-edged halberd in his hand is also made of pure alloy, the reason will be explained later. At this moment, this heavy, solid, and extremely sharp giant long weapon was even more powerful in the hands of this giant who was several times taller than a human being. Chopping, cutting, beating, stabbing, locking, shoveling, Yang Jian leaps and dances, moves and sweeps, his moves can be described as ever-changing and agile, and his size does not affect his agility at all.
What is a master? A master is one who can use extremely powerful moves to make embroidery needles, and can also use nimble and cunning moves to do tricks.
An Shui saw every move, and without any gaps, he dodged all Yang Jian's attacks. If factors such as weapons, wingspan, stride length, etc. were taken into account, his speed seemed to be superior to Yang Jian's.
After this trial and error, if it were true that Lord Erlang was here, I'm afraid he would be a little angry. However, this Yang Jian is just a three-eyed giant in the Second Kingdom. It has nothing to do with myths and stories. In the final analysis, he is just An intelligent creature from thousands of years ago, he, like Dark Water, cannot get angry. Losing his cool due to anger in a battle is beyond his imagination.
Since the attack is fruitless, it is very simple, just use more force.
But when he saw Yang Jian flicking his weapon and stabbing the halberd several times, his speed increased a bit, and the three-pointed and two-edged halberd turned into phantoms. This sudden acceleration of the attack made the dark sailor rush and retreat. Yang Jian continued to thrust rapidly, pushing forward, forcing the dark water to retreat for dozens of meters.
Anshui fell into a passive position, and before he could make changes to deal with it, Yang Jian suddenly stopped. At this moment, the dark water has not yet receded, and it has opened a distance of more than ten meters from it in an instant.
Another golden light shot from the third eye on his forehead. This distance was exactly the optimal intersection area of light diffusion and range. Dark water could be said to be unavoidable. Just like the divine key, he was about to be transported into the void...
