This primitive style totem looks a bit like a mermaid. But it's not the kind of mermaid that Angel once saw in the twilight photo shoot, who is a man and a fish, relying on his singing voice and beauty to tempt the ship to sink.
It's a mermaid whose body is covered with weird fins, looks weird, and doesn't stick to the lower body part of the fish.
Some are half-body transformed fish, some are left-side transformed fish, and some are full-body transformed fish but retain their limbs. Angel did not know whether the mermaid had this kind of race, but it seemed that there were both human and fish shapes. Before knowing their real names, Angel tentatively thought that they might be a subspecies of mermaid.
Behind this row of mermaid totems are carved murals.
The main character in the picture has changed from a mermaid to a frog skin monster. The frogskins do weird things, some kneeling, some carrying a burden, some holding a harpoon, and it seems like they describe the daily life of the frogskin... But the last few paintings are a bit weird.
The mermaids of the previous totems reappeared, and they flew through the clouds, leading the frog skin to a place full of sunshine.
The frogskins danced in a circle to celebrate, and then the merman disappeared.
This series of murals seems to be related to the belief in the gods of the frog skin. The mermaid is a belief, a totem, and a god; while the frog skin is a tribe that worships totems.
The content of the picture covers a lot, from ordinary daily life, to going out for hunting, to Ming Qi Chuang, and the sacrifices to gods appear one by one.
Below each picture, there are a large number of characters recorded.
This is a word constructed from dots, lines and patterns, like a stickman doing various actions. Angel didn't understand the meaning of the word, so he could only speculate that it might be an ideogram, telling the things in the picture.
Angel researched deeply for a long time, but he had no idea. In the end, he could only shake his head and give up to read the words.
Even if Mingming's intuition tells him that these words and pictures are very important, he can only give up if there is no way to interpret them. If he can "know words" at level 2 tricks, then deciphering such basic ideograms is easy to imagine.
But he doesn't know "words", and even if he goes to study now, it can't be done overnight. Tricks like "word proficiency" and "language parsing" require a lot of knowledge accumulation and precipitation, as well as proficient in various ideograms, phonetics, and spiritual logic, and require daily accumulation and precipitation to slowly take shape.
Speaking of which, this is also the disadvantage of an instant wizard apprentice such as Angel who has insufficient knowledge. If you change to another person who has cultivated in a second-level peak apprentice in a step-by-step class, this kind of "word knowledge" is a necessary foundation, because in the Survival in the wild, adventures in secret realms, expeditions in planes, etc... all need to use this kind of tricks.
Angel couldn't interpret it, so he could only write it down forcibly. If he could meet other apprentices, he might be able to exchange information.
After reading this room, Angel continued to turn around and found no hidden room. The entire fortress, the next two rooms, and the things are very simple. Even, he did not find food supplies here.
Could it be that there is actually just a concept similar to the "forester's cabin"
With nothing to gain, Angel could only leave temporarily. However, he had a vague idea in his heart that perhaps the mystery of the Sea of Purification this time, as long as the gathering place of these frogskin monsters was found, there should be an answer.
But where are the frog skins gathered? This is also a problem.
Unable to decipher the words, but according to the murals, Angel guessed that the final Promised Land might be the place where the mermaid and the frogskin went in the picture... a place full of sunshine.
But when it comes to sunshine, Angel doubts whether he guessed wrong. Could it be that the place they will arrive in the end is not on the bottom of the sea, but on the surface of the sea
But if it's on the surface, why would this frog skin live on the bottom of the sea
After Angel left the circular fortress, he still planned to continue to explore deeper. Although he guessed that it might be the sea, he still felt that something was wrong.
He still remembered the poor apprentice in the mechanical city who was kidnapped by Floyd and others. He once said: "In the most dangerous place, fight for a way to survive."
If this sentence is the "clearance key" for the purification of the garden this time, the sea is so calm, there shouldn't be any danger, right? Unless the frog skin monsters are all gathered on the sea surface, they can indeed pose a threat to others according to the strength of the flying fish that they plan to surpass before.
But now the location of the frog skin monster could not be confirmed, and Angel found the frog skin monster on the bottom of the sea again, so he decided to continue the search on the bottom of the sea.
If you can't find it, then say it again.
Thinking of this, Angel went down the slope and continued towards a deeper, darker and colder place.
…
When Angel walked into the dark deep sea with boundless loneliness. The flying fish world that is about to be destroyed is another scene.
Nausicaa was injured, and badly. She slumped under a tree, gasping for a long time.
The breeze blew across her face, bringing up the beautiful strands of hair.
Nausicaa snorted and raised her head to look at the glittering countdown timer. With obvious unwillingness in her eyes, it was the last hour, but she still hadn't found the so-called Sea of Purification.
Even if she speculates that the sky may be the exit, but she does not know how to fly, at most she can stay in the sky by relying on the wind spiral. How difficult is it to leave
Not to mention, she is now seriously injured.
When the magic source was exhausted, she forcibly used the hurricane spiral cannon, although people would drive away in the future. But she also had a slight backlash of magic power. Even if the backlash of magic power was not severe this time, she could recover most of her injuries with the potion, but at least in a short period of time, she would not have any action.
Under such circumstances, even if the Sea of Purification is not in the air, she also has no ability to look for it.
Moreover, she may also become the team's fuel bottle.
Nausicaa smiled bitterly. She had heard the heavy footsteps not far away, and it was probably Shan who directed Gan Ke to come over.
Sure enough, not long after, a shadow blocked her vision.
"Nausicaa, what's the matter with you?" Shan jumped off Gan Ke's shoulder anxiously. Nausicaa said that she would go to the front and go over the mountains to see if there was a sea, but she didn't come back for more than half an hour. came over. As a result, Nausicaa was covered in blood and she was dying.
Nausicaa smiled bitterly and said, "I was attacked by someone."
"Who?" Shan Fu immediately frowned and shouted, "Where is he?"
"I've already driven me away." Nausicaa shook her head. "Do you remember that before I entered the Garden of Purification, I said that someone was looking at me with hostile eyes?"
"Who was the one who attacked you?"
Nausicaa nodded, the veiled, tall and graceful woman. She still doesn't know who the other party is, where they offended her, and even chased after the purification garden.
"Damn, describe what she looks like, if I meet her, I'll kill her right away." As she spoke, Shan wanted to help Nausicaa to Gan Ke's shoulder.
Nausicaa shook off her hand: "Leave me alone, take Shiliu with you, I guess it's impossible to continue..."
Before Nausicaa could finish speaking, Shiliu, who was slumped on Ganke's shoulders, suddenly stretched: "Ha-yawn-"
Nausicaa and Shan looked over, Shiliu seemed a little shy and lowered his face: "Uh, good morning?"
…
At the beginning of the dawn, fish maw white appeared on the edge of the sky. The dawn of a new day is coming.
The morning light is beautiful, but it may be the last morning light in this world.
There is still half an hour left in the countdown in the sky, and the number is still shrinking. It is like the sword of Damocles, hanging above everyone's heads, reminding that death is coming.
Seeing that the time is getting shorter and shorter, all those who have not yet found an exit are deducing the omnipresence of all beings.
Persistent people are still looking for directions, but if their heads are not bright enough to see through the fog, they will eventually suffer the punishment of hanging swords.
Those who see the situation clearly are looking for a way to ascend to the sky. But sometimes the method is in front of you, but no one dares to try it.
More people choose to be crazy. Before dying, they were raging wildly, as if they wanted to vent their inner panic in this way.
I don't know when, the earth began to tremble, and I walked a few steps from time to time, and I could see the cracks in the ground crack, and hot magma poured out, burning this world that was about to be broken and sacrificed.
Lava, hurricanes, torrential rains, as well as possessed people, crazy flying fish, compose the last symphony before the extinction of the world.
A huge blue whale floated in the air, and a man with fish scales between his eyebrows stood on top of the whale's head, looking at this absurd picture of extinction with great interest.
The man looked at it for a long time, watching very intently.
"Jetbo, are you still leaving?" The woman covered in a blue cloak suddenly walked to the man's side and murmured softly.
Jiebo smiled lightly: "What a rare scene, it's a pity to miss this time."
The cloaked woman walked to the head of the blue whale and took a red conch from the horn: "The sound of the red conch has been recorded. If you want to watch it later, you can watch it anytime."
Jetway raised his eyebrows: "I prefer to be in the scene. The suffering of the world is my favorite scene."
"However, such a scene is still too small." Jetbo turned around, "Let's go, it's almost time. Soon, such a scene may appear in the entire southern region."
The beautiful woman in the cloak frowned: "Nanyu? What do you mean?"
"You haven't forgotten the arrival of the devil 10,000 years ago, haven't you?" Jiebo left this sentence, smiled softly, and made the blue whale head into the sky.
At the boundary membrane, in addition to the wizard apprentices who entered the sea of purification from time to time, flying fish also rushed into it.
When Jetbo came to the boundary membrane, he saw a huge ray, flying into the boundary membrane.
Because of the size and strength of the blue whale, no other flying fish dared to approach. But the ray seemed to be ignoring this rule, passing through the side of the blue whale and into the limiting membrane.
"What are you looking at?"
"A strange person with no hands or feet, but actually rode that ray into the sea of purification. It's interesting."
