Views:

After raising his vigilance, Hao Ren dragged Lily and flew towards the lower level of the temple. The thick, cloud-like black shadow gradually occupied their entire sight.

The black mist was slowly surging, as if there was a pot of boiling thick soup below, but there was no strange smell coming from it. Hao Ren grabbed a probe that flew by, read the parameters recorded by the probe, and confirmed This has reached the lowest level of the building—that is, the place where it was cut off in the middle.

It stands to reason that passing through this black mist should directly lead to the outer space.

"Landlord... what is this?" Lily felt a little fluffy, so her tail also became fluffy, "Why do I feel a little scared?"

Hao Ren subconsciously wanted to take out the data terminal from his pocket to scan the things in front of him, but it was empty when he touched it. Then he remembered that the PDA was on the console of the Giant Turtle Rock as usual Stuck: Although the master control consciousness of the spaceship is now Nolan, and the data terminal can't get any authority even if it is forced to connect to the console, the PDA with a problematic core of thinking still steadfastly blocks itself every time it sails. In the slot, it seems that this can give it great psychological comfort.

Hao Ren shook his head, and threw the probe he caught just now to the edge of the black mist. Although the computing power of this thing is not as good as the terminal, it is enough as a detector, and it can also upload data to the Giant Turtle Rock The analysis host can analyze it. With the support of the mothership, this thing is actually no worse than the data terminal.

Soon the analysis results were transmitted through the data link, and the analysis host believed that this was a "spatial phenomenon that cannot be accurately described."

"A space phenomenon that cannot be described accurately?" Hao Ren heard the spacecraft's analysis host give such ambiguous conclusions for the first time, and he immediately asked Nolan for details, "What's going on?"

Nolan sent a response: "The space-time order in that black mist is clearly separated from the outside, it should be a space gap or an unstable space warp, but this space-time structure is not in any known database, and Not a natural phenomenon. There are currently no space-time parameters on the other side of the rift, so it cannot be fully described."

Hao Ren frowned. He didn't like such uncertain things, but unfortunately, such uncertain things always appeared in the dream plane. Lily next to him doesn't have so much trouble as him: the husky girl's world view is simply divided into two parts: when you meet someone you can beat, you can bully the weak, and when you meet someone who is too big, you can just be cowardly. No matter what the thing in front of you, anyway, choose Nothing more than these two...

"There is nothing in the material vacuum of 10,000 light years, except for this lonely floating temple, and there is a space gap in the temple, tsk tsk, it doesn't look like a fun thing." Hao Ren smacked Smacking his lips, he was not interested in jumping in to observe the details by himself, so he continued to let the probe collect data around the black mist, while he pulled Lily away a little, and began to study the exquisite and complicated reliefs on the surrounding walls.

These reliefs are all made by mortal races, just like most religious murals, depicting ancient heroes, warriors, and a large number of indescribable ghosts and monsters who fought against them, and there are not only battle scenes with monsters, but also sacred A peaceful paradise scene. The content of the murals is clearly divided into good and evil, and one can tell at a glance which side represents the faction to which the builder of this temple belongs—from the appearance of those warriors, it is easy to see that they are a race extremely similar to human beings, and there are also mixed races among them. There are some humanoid species that are slightly different from Earth people.

Hao Ren's eyes moved slowly between these exquisite and ancient reliefs, trying to find the images of gods and the parts describing the relationship between humans and gods—he was basically sure that this temple was dedicated to the goddess of creation, and according to the religious murals Regarding the way of depicting the gods, he, a half-baked clergyman, can still analyze some things related to ideology and civilization level.

Lily followed Hao Ren, deliberated for a long time with a serious face, and finally decided to knock a brick from the nearby stone wall: her Wang Zhibao has not been added for a long time...

However, the Husky girl had just made Huo Zhi very happy when Hao Ren discovered her intentions, and the latter slapped her paw away: "Don't make trouble, this is an important relic, understand—what if the clue is broken."

Lily stuck out her tongue, but soon stared at the mural behind Hao Ren and widened her eyes: "House... Landlord! That thing is moving!"

At first, Hao Ren thought that the husky girl was teasing him, but soon he realized that this bastard had nothing else to do, except that the expression on his face was absolutely from the bottom of his heart—he immediately turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Fire is very happy. Under the light of the swaying fire, the relief murals on the inner wall of the temple are slowly moving!

Just like a movie scene that was originally static is pressed again, the characters on the mural are moving in the firelight, the warrior swung his sword, the monster raised its head high, and the vegetation carved on the stone swayed slowly, everything came alive!

Lily thought for a while, if the opponent was a group of little monsters, she might be able to fight, because she has brute force, but she couldn't do anything in front of the mysterious field, because she knew nothing about the magic world, so this husky spirit decisively chose to fight He raised his tail and hid behind Hao Ren: "Landlord! There is something wrong with the landlord! Hurry up and let Bat and Old Wang come to the rescue!!"

"Don't make trouble, just saw some slides, why are you so cowardly?" Hao Ren turned his head and glared at Lily, then leaned closer to observe the moving murals carefully.

Ordinary people might feel really weird when they see this thing, but he is well-informed now, and he has no feeling for this kind of thing for a long time.

The changes in the murals at the beginning were actually very slight, and those pictures were only moving in a very small range, which would almost be mistaken for an illusion under the flickering light of the fire, but as time went by, the movement of these pictures also become more and more obvious. Hao Ren saw the most drastic changes in the images, and the most obvious one was a large relief picture—this pattern was surrounded by some small reliefs, perhaps describing an important chapter in a religious story.

In this picture, a group of heroic knights bravely charged under the leadership of a leader wearing a white cloak. In front of them was a plain burning with flames and a sea of corpses.

The remains of humans and monsters are scattered all over the land, and the charging knights seem to be the last batch of soldiers on the battlefield.

The broken swallowtail flag fluttered in the wind, the swords of the knights were full of gaps, the armor was stained with blood, the sky was overcast with no light, and at the end of the plain, the goal of the knights was a huge, indescribable chaos twisted thing.

It was like a bloated piece of meat, with various limbs growing randomly on it, and new limbs were constantly stretching out from the flesh and blood, while the old limbs were swallowed up again. Rolling at the end of the earth, this disgusting thing is more sensational than any monster in fairy tales-even the ugly eldest son and brain monster are cuter than this thing.

And the few remaining brave soldiers are charging against this indescribable and terrifying monster.

boom—

It was the clouds on the mural that suddenly split, and a bolt of lightning broke through the cloudy clouds. However, Hao Ren seemed to really hear the thunder in his ears at this moment: he heard the thunder in this cosmic vacuum!

The lightning illuminated the ground, instantly dispelling the haze on the battlefield, and under the illumination of the lightning, the brave last knights rushed towards the powerful enemy that could not be confronted by manpower, as if they were shrouded in a holy light. And behind the clouds broken by the lightning, a huge, crystal-clear mountain peak emerged—even though it was just a mural carved on the rock, it still showed an incredible crystalline texture!

Hao Ren was completely attracted by this scene. He stretched out his hand involuntarily, wanting to test the authenticity of the mural, to see if he could touch the ray of light and the crystal mountain behind the light.

The edge of the palm of his right hand was slowly attached to the mural—and there is still a red "scar" left on that palm, which is the "sacred mark" left after being exposed to the blood of the gods. The blood of the goddess has soaked in his body. In the skin, it has not subsided in the slightest.

The stigmata of the holy blood touched the mural, and then, as in all the stories, there was a sudden change.

The scene on the mural cracked in an instant, and the cracks spread rapidly like a spider web. All the reliefs seemed to be unable to bear some kind of too strong force, and they fell off the stone wall almost in the blink of an eye. At the same time, the building The "black mist" at the bottom of the object suddenly seemed to wake up and began to surge faster. If it was said that there was a pot of boiling water under the black mist before, now...even the black mist is boiling!

Lily sensed something was wrong almost immediately with her animal intuition. She immediately pulled Hao Ren's arm, and Hao Ren also saw the black mist boiling on one side and rising on the other. He broke out in a cold sweat. Turned and ran, but still like in all stories—

Black mist engulfed them. (to be continued~^~)
