In the black and white world of shadows, the blood-colored mud constantly gushing out of the black mist rolled like living creatures. They flowed out of the mist continuously, but they never spread to the outside world as if they were constantly disappearing. Farther away from the black mist, they looked like some kind of disgusting, creepy mollusk, and they kept making disturbing muddy noises as they rolled. At first Gawain thought that the sound was the normal sound of mud churning, but soon he heard whispers from the gurgling voice as if someone was whispering in sleep. Hearing any logical information in the Internet, they can only bring fear, restlessness, imagination and uneasiness.
Not only Gao Wen, but even Amber had never seen such a weird thing in the Shadow Realm. It clearly corresponded to the original location of the cultivation containers, but these blood-colored muds were "reflected" from the previous Shadow Realm to the present world. The rule is quite different, it is clearly something more distorted, something that should not be there, not so much that it "reflects" here as it occupies something that is there because of it.
Gawain looked at the mud pouring out of the black mist with instinctive disgust, and then looked back at Amber: "What the hell is this... Is it these things that scare you?"
He felt a little strange, although the blood-colored mud gave people a very bad feeling, and the constant whispers were also disturbing, and some kind of strange power was still trying to put terror in Gawain's mind. Slideshows, but these things did not touch Gawain at all except for a little bit of stimulation from staying up late watching horror movies in his previous life—and Amber is a master who is not afraid of anything. It is possible that she was startled by the mud, but it is not right that she loses her size in fright.
Amber also looked a little strange, she glanced at the mud with a little fear: "Yes... yes... But just now I just looked at these things and felt as if my mind was about to explode. I had hallucinations for a while, but now I don’t know what’s going on... Although these things are still disgusting, they don’t seem to have the feeling of being mentally attacked.”
"Really?" Gawain looked at Amber, then looked at the mud with a frown, then he clenched the Pioneer Sword and walked cautiously towards the source of the mud.
Some kind of intuition told him that the "distorted hybrid" monster with strong vitality outside was probably related to this mud in the Shadow Realm. If the mud was not resolved, the investigation here would never be able to proceed smoothly. .
Amber watched Gao Wen move forward, and also sweated nervously. In the face of such a foreign body that surpassed common sense, her combat power seemed unreliable—but the next second, her eyes widened in shock.
Because as Gao Wen moved forward step by step, the bloody mud that was constantly surging was retreating a little bit!
It wasn't very obvious at first, but after Gao Wen took a few steps, the mud spreading in all directions was sunken into a large area, which was so obvious that anyone could notice it.
Gao Wen himself was taken aback by this situation. He took another step forward, and the mud took another step back. He simply stopped, and the mud also stayed in place, slowly wriggling on the spot.
"What's going on?" Amber's surprised voice came from behind, "These things seem... afraid of you?"
"It's not so much fear, it's better to say it's some kind of conditioned reflex that is very similar to biological instinct," Gawain frowned. He couldn't figure out why the mud retreated in front of him for a while, but this didn't stop him from continuing. Walking forward, "Alright, it saved me a lot of effort."
The mud in front of Gawain finally retreated completely into the black mist, and as Gawain continued to move forward, even the black mist finally began to shrink and deform, and it finally revealed a gap through which, Gawain saw the runes neatly arranged on the ground and the magic spar that still had some shimmering light at a glance.
Magic circle? Not a magic circle mapped from the real world to the shadow world, but a magic circle built directly in the shadow world? !
Was it the handwriting of those Gondor magisters back then
Gawain was a little surprised for a while, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not too unbelievable: the magic technology of the Gondor Empire far surpassed the contemporary ones. At that time, human beings failed to understand what the essence of the Shadow Realm was, but this did not affect the ability of the more powerful magisters at that time to enter the Shadow Realm.
Amber stood far away from the blood-colored mud, seeing that Gao Wen hadn't moved for a long time, she waved her hands vigorously and shouted: "What did you find?"
"The magic circle was built on 'this side'," Gawain replied without raising his head. "It seems that this experimental facility was built in two parts. The equipment in the present world is only one part, and the other part is built." In the Shadowlands…”
Amber looked very surprised: "Wow! The people of that era were very powerful, and they can also enter the Shadow Realm?"
"The power of people in that era is beyond your imagination." Gao Wen said casually, and then stepped into the black mist area, looking for the core formation of the magic circle in the mist churning against the ground, and As the black mist continued to recede, this complex and huge magic circle was gradually pieced together in Gao Wen's sight.
Relying on his fairly good theoretical knowledge, Gao Wen quickly judged that this magic circle was very different from regular magic circles. Only part of it belonged to "magic", which were regular spell runes or elemental runes, but Other parts are carved with special symbols called "sacred symbols" or "sacred runes".
Those symbols are not part of the magic system at all, but the imprints commonly used by religious people. They are said to come from the Eternal Stone, and their function is to communicate and channel the power of the gods. The "magic circle" drawn with such symbols cannot be called "Magic circle", but should be a magic circle.
In Gao Wen's common sense, the magic circle and the magic circle are two completely different things, but this... is the product of the fusion of the magic circle and the magic circle!
Moreover, the function of this mixed magic circle seems to be extraordinarily complicated. From what he has seen so far, Gao Wen discovered as many as twenty control rune groups, as well as a large number of runes similar to the charging structure... This kind of charging The energy structure is not common in the magic circles of the Gondor era. After all, the magic devices in those days were basically maintained by the magic power from the deep blue well. There were few "low-efficiency" operations such as absorbing free energy from the environment, but This magic circle set in the Shadow Realm has a complex and huge charging structure...
But no matter how weird the magic circle is, its size is only that big. As the black mist recedes in front of Gao Wen, its core area is finally fully exposed. The moment Gawain saw the core of the magic circle, Gao Wen His eyes froze.
Rebelling against the gods... devouring the flesh and blood of the gods... feasting on it...
As these crazy words came to mind, Gawain's eyes also fell on that thing and did not move for a long time.
It was a man-made crystal that was only one foot square, and in the center of the crystal was a piece of extremely weird biological tissue sealed.
Gao Wen could only use "weird biological tissue" to describe what he saw, because he couldn't identify what kind of creature the flesh-like thing came from. It was dark red in color and didn't have any structures like blood vessels or tendons. But something like blood is constantly circulating around it out of thin air. It may have been sealed in the crystal for thousands of years, but it is still slowly shrinking and wriggling...
Like an immortal heart.
The truth was almost coming out, but Gao Wen couldn't believe the bold association he had made, but if the words on the wall of the test hall were true, if those crazy and absurd manuscript records were true, then what's in this crystal There is no doubt about what a thing is.
In the end, Gawain decided to trust his own judgment, because he remembered the "battle field communications" recorded in the fragments of the Eternal Slate.
God is dead, and it is not unimaginable for flesh and blood to fall into the world.
If a devout believer is here, or any local people with normal three views are here, they will probably lose the ability to speak and move due to shock and fear immediately after realizing what is in the crystal, but Gao Wen is a different kind of person. , he was just a little worried about whether this group of "gods and flesh" would suddenly jump up and face his aunt. After all, such weird things often mean great danger, but look at the surrounding bloody mud and black mist. Bi's appearance seems to be that this mass of flesh and blood is more afraid of himself...
Gao Wen carefully poked the crystal with the Pioneer Sword. The biological tissue in the crystal seemed to tremble a little, but upon closer inspection, there was no change.
All in all, it looks like there is no danger.
Gawain put away his saber, bent down and picked up the one-foot-square man-made crystal cube. It was quite heavy, but it was nothing to Gawain. - Divine Art Array", the remaining surging black mist and bloody mud around them disappeared almost in the blink of an eye.
The rune array that had lost its core barely ran for a few more seconds, and the few remaining magic crystals on the array quickly dimmed. In the end, there were only complex and mysterious runes left here, and there were no more visions. up.
"This is... what the hell..." Amber watched with a nervous expression as Gawain carried out a large piece of crystal. This was the first time in her life that she saw such a shiny thing but couldn't afford to tear it up. Thoughts of stealing and selling for money, "I...why do I feel like I'm getting hairy just looking at it?!"
"You really want to know?" Gawain held the flesh and blood tissue that most likely came from a god, and glanced at Amber with a half-smile, "With your brain, you should have guessed something, right?"
"I..." Amber's eyes widened suddenly, and then she took a breath, "Aren't you joking?!"
"It is said that there was a battle of gods in ancient times, and the gods fell into the world, and the world has extraordinary power including magic. Then since the power of the gods can fall, why is it impossible for their flesh and blood to fall?" Gao Wen laughed. Smiling, he didn't say the information he got from the fragments of the eternal stone slab, but explained it with the legend of the gods in ancient times. After all, even if Amber escaped from the weird and thick lines, she is still the third view of the local people. And she also claimed to be a devout follower of the Shadow Goddess, and told her directly that the gods might all be dead, and God knows what the hell the mortals are worshiping now. It's - she should be able to accept this explanation.
After all, it’s okay to say that two or three of the gods fell when they were fighting on their own, but being blocked by the Zentraedi fleet and destroying the whole family is a completely different level...
Seeing Amber nodding her head thoughtfully, Gao Wen secretly made up his mind: if necessary, he will use the same explanation with the "outside" people later.
He doesn't want the wave of people he managed to gather to be completely destroyed by the three views he tossed...
Even if it collapses, it has to collapse gradually.
