Boom ... Dump ... Dump ...
This time it is no longer an illusion, but a real pulsating sound comes from the front. When I heard this sound, Hao Ren could n’t help a little goose bumps, an intuition that was approaching an ancient horror. He almost subconsciously confirmed his shield capacity.
He knows that his sixth sense is always accurate, but this time he hopes that his sixth sense is wrong.
Lily is still at the forefront of the team. This Husky, who remembers to eat or not to remember anytime and anywhere, suddenly forgets the things in his heart. At this time, he bravely opened the way ahead, and once again first This exclaimed: "Wow! This, this ... what this Ah?!"
Hao Ren stepped forward cautiously and almost suffocated by what he saw when he saw the scene outside the cave exit:
At the end of the cave is an unprecedented huge ellipsoidal cave. There are countless openings distributed nearly symmetrically along the stone wall of the cave. Hao Ren is just one of the openings. Countless roots spread out from the openings around the cave, peep out from the stone walls in all directions, hang down from the dome above the cave, and entangle in the center to grow into a large mass of unnamed whole, that large mass of entanglement I am afraid that the thing that is up to a thousand meters wide, shaped like a pothole meteorite, prostrates in the middle of the cave with a majestic momentum. The surface of this group of things is covered with vines, and dark red cortical tissue can be seen between the roots and fissures. These dark red tissues emit a flickering red shimmer with a heavy "dump" sound. Like a heartbeat, it's like breathing.
This huge "heart" lives in the center of the cave, with countless roots spreading out of it, piercing the walls of the cave, and extending all the way to the surface.
And around this "heart", you can see a circle of water pool, dark red liquid is flowing in the water pool, which is similar to the lake water in Beinz Blood Lake, but the color is obviously deeper, and the kind of continuous surging The appearance also makes people suspect that this "water" may also be some kind of creature.
Even Y’zaks ’s breathing could not help but stagnate slightly, and it took a long time before he exhaled: "There is no such exaggerated thing in my hometown."
Everyone knew that the entire Gnarled Grove was a whole creature, but at that time they only saw scattered trees and scattered roots. The direct impression of those things is not strong. However, this one, roots It must be entangled to become a core like a heart, plus the strange atmosphere in the whole cave, and the gentle and low "dong" sound, finally let people directly realize how terrible this ancient creature has , And what an incredible structure.
Becky subconsciously clenched the long sword in his hand, but soon became suspicious of the weapon in his hand for the first time: "Do you say that this gadget can break the defense if you poke it ... I guess even if the skin is dozens of layers Rice thick! "
Hao Ren forehead sweating: This girl's thinking at the critical moment is also quite surprising, how did she think of poke people first thing ...
There is a slight golden light in the eyes of Lily. He pulled out the double blades of ice and fire and carefully followed behind the beard: "Are you sure this is the sacred cave?"
The four bearded men remained calm. Although they had paused for a few beats when they first saw the magnificent thing, they immediately re-armed their minds with the goddess belief: " It is exactly the same. Under the crown of the early pope, the goddess ’sacred heritage was found here, and he painted the appearance of this ancient creature. They all put down their weapons. This should be a sacred ancient. Let ’s not offend it."
Vivian thought for a while, and suddenly took a small bat from his body and stuffed it into the hands of Hao Ren: "Put this in the portable space."
Hao Ren froze: "Why?"
"In case something goes wrong, your personal space is the safest," Vivian is serious, "I will directly transfer my consciousness to the little bat, although it will take a lot of blood and energy to resurrect, but this is Life-saving means. "
Hao Ren did not expect Vivian to have this function. The little bat of vampire girl is simply a fetish. He squeezed the little bat and threw it into his portable space, but he saw that the expression of Vivian changed subtly: "Open the bat and Lil Pea, the child seems to be grinding his teeth ..."
Hao Ren: "..."
He really wants to know what the world is like in Vivian's eyes. When this group of bats scatter out, how schizophrenic is it!
People came carefully to the huge "heart" near the center of the cave. Only when they got closer did they feel more clearly how much pressure this giant giant can put on people. The extremely slow and deep " The sound of "Dump" sounds like it is directly knocked on the chest of a person, and it is endless. People who are mentally weak may be irrational if they are only disturbed by this sound. And the slowly shimmering red shimmer on the heart is an ominous feeling, what is under the light? Is it blood?
There is a pool of water around the "heart", or it is completely soaked in such a pool of water. The slowly flowing viscous liquid is the most curious thing outside the "heart", among the ascetic monks The young nun took out a large slap crystal bottle and carefully collected some liquid into it.
Even if it is placed in a bottle, the viscous liquid is still surging slowly, and it maintains an inexplicable synchronization with the beat of the "heart".
"What is this thing?" Hao Ren frowned and watched the surging liquid in the crystal bottle, "Biology?"
"It's a creature, a liquid life," ASanbaA floated out of Hao Ren's pocket, scanning the things in the pool. "It's amazing, it's also part of Gnarled Grove, it's a component of this 'heart', but It can survive away from the body and become an independent living creature after leaving the pool. "
The Hao Ren suddenly felt a numb scalp and subconsciously stepped away from the waterhole: he always felt that what was surging inside would suddenly rush up, even if it didn't, the strange life form was also chilling.
Vivian glanced at Hao Ren with a smile: "As for? Kung Fu shows you my blood magic, my blood is much more varied than this thing."
At this time, the young monks in the group of ascetic monks suddenly shouted, "Here! There is a discovery!"
The people hurried over and found that there was an obvious man-made stone pier beside the waterhole ... or an altar. It's just that the "heart" in front of it is too large, and the attention of others is not here for a while.
This is an altar with regular shape and carved out of off-white rock, about three meters in diameter. The surface is covered with the symbols of the mystery and the chaotic reliefs of the representative of the Yaoyao sect. There are also some severely weathered and damaged black on the altar The remnants are most likely things that have been used in the ceremony. In the center of the altar, there is a small black box. It seems that the box is miraculously kept intact, but there is a thick layer of lime on it.
"This is what was left under the crown of the first pope!" Bearded could not help but exclaimed when he saw the altar. "Sure enough, as the Holy Prophet said, he left a copy only after three thousand years. Inherited from the world! "
Hao Ren immediately became excited when he saw this: "What will it be? Forbidden curse? A new divine art? Or another ancestor of life?"
The bearded man rubbed his hands excitedly, and the temperament of the ascetic finally disappeared: "I do n’t know ... but we have to open it, and then give it to the current pope ... this is prescribed by the oracle ... Pity, everything else on the altar is ruined, only it remains, this is the will of God! "
Hao Ren rolled his eyes: can you not touch everything with God, this is obviously because the original pope in that year was such a strong box ...
At this time, Bearded had picked up the box diligently, and opened it without much effort. There were only a few pieces of leather lying in the box that had been severely discolored, but still kept intact.
You can see faintly recognizable black writing on the leather, which seems to be a message left by the early pope.
Bigbeard and Hao Ren breathed up at the same time, one thought of a new oracle or holy oracle, and one thought of the cheats left by the old man with white beard.
Vivian was not interested in these musty smells. She wandered thoughtfully along the water hole beside the "heart", watching the surging red liquid felt quite interesting, which made her Thinking of his own blood magic.
She released a little bat and let the little guy carefully drink the liquid in the spit. She was not worried about the counterattack of the peculiar life in the pond, because the control of the liquid was no different from the blood .
A bit salty—Vivian frowned.
At this time, Hao Ren and Beard's side finally interpreted the first line of text from the ancient yellowed leather. Beard's voice was low, and he said aloud:
"We ... from the starry sky ..." (To be continued.)
