Chapter 147 is dead
In the shadow world of black and white, the blood-colored mud that kept surging from the black mist rolled like a living thing. They kept flowing out of the fog, but they seemed to disappear out of thin air and never spread farther away from the black mist. They were like some kind of disgusting, creepy mollusk, and they kept making upset and turbid strange sounds. At first, Gao Wen thought that the sound was a normal sound during the surging process of the mud, but soon he heard a whisper like a man whispering in his sleep from the gurgling sound. No one could hear any logical information from the blasphemy and chaotic whisper. They could only bring fear, irritability, imagination and anxiety.
Not only Gao Wen, but even Amber has never seen such a strange thing in the Shadow World. It obviously corresponds to the original location of the culture containers, but these blood-colored muds are very different from the previous "reflection" rules of the Shadow World's appearance world. It is obviously something that is more distorted and should not exist here. Rather than saying that it "reflection" here, it occupies something that is the original cause.
Gao Wen looked at the mud that kept gushing out of the black fog with instinctive disgust, and then looked back at Amber: "What's this thing... it's these things that scared you?"
He felt a little strange. Although the blood-colored mud gave people a very bad feeling, the constant whispers were also upsetting, and some strange power was constantly trying to put horror slides in Gao Wen's mind. However, these things were not touched at all except for letting Gao Wen find some excitement of staying up late to watch horror movies in his previous life. Amber was even more afraid of the Lord. During the demon tide, a fierce man who dared to dig graves in the graves of the ancients. It was possible that she was scared by the mud, but it was wrong if she lost her temper.
Amber also seemed 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. Even when I recalled it, I would have hallucinations, but now I don't know what's going on... Although these things are still disgusting, they don't look like they are being attacked by mentally."
"Is that right?" Gao Wen looked at Amber, frowned and looked at the mud. Then he held the sword of the Blazer tightly and walked carefully towards the source of the mud.
A certain intuition told him that the "distorted hybrid" monster outside with a strange vitality is probably related to this ball of mud in the Shadow Realm. If this ball of mud is not solved, the investigation here will probably never be able to be carried out smoothly.
Amber watched Gao Wen walk forward and then nervously squeezed her sweat. In front of such foreign objects that surpassed common sense, her combat power was not so reliable - but the next second, she widened her eyes in shock.
Because as Gao Wen moved forward step by step, the blood-colored mud that kept surging backed a little bit!
At first, this was not very obvious, but after Gao Wen took a few steps, the mud spreading in all directions actually sank into a large area, which was obvious to everyone who could notice it.
Gao Wen himself was also stunned by the situation. He took another step forward and the mud took another step back. He simply stopped, so the mud also stayed in place, slowly squirming in place.
"What's going on?" Amber's surprised voice came from behind, "These things seem to... are afraid of you?"
"It's not so much a fear, but rather a conditioned reflex that looks like biological instincts," Gao Wen frowned. He couldn't figure out why the mud retreated in front of him for a moment, but it didn't prevent him from continuing to move forward. "Okay, it saved me a lot of effort."
The mud in front of Gao Wen finally completely retreated into the black fog. As Gao Wen continued to move forward, even the black fog finally began to shrink and deform. It finally revealed a gap. Through the gap, Gao Wen saw the runes neatly arranged on the ground and the magic crystals that still had some glimmer of light remaining.
Magic array? It is not a magic array that maps from the present world to the shadow world, but a magic array that is really built directly in the shadow world?!
Was it the work of those Gondor mages back then?
Gao Wen was a little surprised for a moment, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that this was not too incredible: the magic technology of the Gondor Empire was far superior to that of the present. At that time, the unique human magic system and even the skills that made the elves amazed. Although humans could not understand the essence of the Shadow World at that time, this did not affect the ability of the more powerful magicians to enter the Shadow World at that time.
Amber stood far away from the bloody mud. Seeing Gao Wen not moving for a long time, he waved his hand hard and shouted: "What did you find?"
"The magic circle is built on the 'this side'," Gao Wentou replied without raising his head. "It seems that this test facility is built in two parts. The equipment in the present world is only part of it, and the other part is built in the Shadow World..."
Amber seemed very surprised: "Wow! The people in that era were very powerful, could they enter the Shadow World?"
"The people of that era are amazing at how powerful you can't imagine." Gao Wen said casually, then stepped into the black fog area, looking for the core formation of the magic array in the fog that was surging against the ground. As the black fog continued to fade, this complex and huge magic array was pieced together little by little in Gao Wen's sight.
With pretty good theoretical knowledge, Gao Wen quickly determined that this magic array is very different from a conventional magic array. Only part of it belongs to "magic" and is a conventional magic rune or elemental rune, but the other parts are carved with special symbols called "sacred symbol seal" or "sacred rune".
Those symbols are not part of the magic system at all, but are often used by religious people. They are said to come from eternal stone slabs, and their function is to communicate and guide the power of gods. The "magic array" drawn with this symbol cannot be called "magic array", but should be a divine art array.
In Gao Wen's common sense, the divine art array and the magic array are two completely incompatible things, but the one in front of him... is the product of the fusion of the divine art array and the magic array!
Moreover, the functions of this hybrid magic array seem to be particularly complex. Just as you see just now, Gao Wen has discovered more than twenty control rune groups, as well as a large number of runes with similar charging structures... This charging structure is not common in magic arrays in the Gondor era. After all, the magic devices of that year were basically maintained by magic power from the Deep Blue Well. There is rarely an "inefficient" operation of drawing free energy from the environment, but this magic array set in the shadow world has a complex and huge charging structure...
But no matter how strange this magic array is, its size is only that large. As the black fog continues to retreat in front of Gao Wen, its core area is finally fully exposed. The moment he saw the core of the magic array, Gao Wen's eyes calmed down.
Disobeying the gods... devouring the gods' flesh and blood... feasting...
As these crazy sentences came to my mind, Gao Wen's gaze also fell on the thing and did not move for a long time.
It was an artificial crystal that was only one foot square. In the center of the crystal, an extremely strange biological tissue was sealed.
Gao Wen can only use "weird biological tissue" to describe what he saw, because he could not recognize what kind of flesh and blood came from. It was dark red and had no structures like blood. However, something like blood kept flowing around it. It might have been sealed in the crystal for thousands of years, but it was still slowly shrinking and squirming...
Like an immortal heart.
The truth was almost about to emerge, but Gao Wen couldn't believe the bold association he had, but if the sentence on the wall of the test hall was true, if the crazy and absurd manuscript records were true, then what was in this crystal was something that there was no doubt about.
Finally, Gao Wen decided to believe his judgment because he remembered the "battlefield communications" recorded in the fragments of the eternal stone slabs.
God is dead, and it is not unimaginable that flesh and blood fall into the world.
If he is a devout believer here, or any local person with normal values here, he may immediately lose his ability to speak and move due to surprise and fear after realizing what is in the crystal. But Gao Wen is an alternative. He is just a little worried about whether this ball of "god flesh and blood" will suddenly jump up and spit his aunt. After all, this weird thing often means huge danger, but looking at the bloody mud around him and the black fog, it seems that this ball of flesh and blood is even more afraid of his appearance...
Gao Wen carefully poked the crystal with the sword of the Trail Blazer. The biological tissue in the crystal seemed to tremble slightly, but after closer inspection, there was no change.
All in all, it looks like there is no danger.
Gao Wen put away his sword, bent down and picked up the artificial crystal cube that was one foot square. It was quite weighty, but it was nothing to Gao Wen. As this crystal left the "magic-divine array" on the ground, the remaining surging black mist and blood-colored mud around almost disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The rune array that lost its core barely ran for a few seconds, and the only magic crystals remaining on the magic array quickly faded. In the end, only a complex and mysterious runes were left here, and there were no more strange phenomena.
"What... what's the thing..." Amber looked at Gao Wen with a nervous look and hugged a large piece of crystal. This was the first time in her life that she saw something so shiny but couldn't have the idea of stealing it to sell it for money. "I... why do I feel that I'm furry just looking at it?!"
"Do you really want to know?" Gao Wen held the flesh and blood tissue that was most likely from the gods and looked at Amber with a smile, "With your brain, you should have guessed something, right?"
"I..." Amber suddenly widened his eyes, then took a breath of air conditioning, "Are you kidding, are you?"
"In legend, there was a god war in ancient times. Gods fell to the earth, and the human world had extraordinary power, including magic. So since the power of gods could fall, what's impossible for their flesh and blood to fall?" Gao Wen smiled. He did not say the information he got from the fragments of the eternal stone slabs, but used the legend of god war in ancient times to explain this matter. After all, no matter how Amber jumped away from the strange and thick lines, she was also the three views of the locals. She also claimed to be a devout believer of the Shadow Goddess. She told her directly that the gods might all die. The gods who are worshiping now know what the hell is, she may not be able to accept it, but the legend of ancient god war has existed since ancient times - she should be able to accept it if she explains this way.
After all, it’s okay to have two or three fallen when the gods fought, but being blocked by the Zenith Star Fleet and destroying the whole family is completely another level...
Seeing Amber nodding thoughtfully, Gao Wen made up his mind: If necessary, he would use the same explanation as the "outside" people later.
He didn't want the wave of people he had finally accumulated to collapse, but his three views that he had tormented...
