Chapter 451 Unseen Land
"Mei Gao?"
Milo subconsciously read out the name that the girl in the church had mentioned, the so-called, the name of the lost era. child.
“It’s so unpleasant to cry.”
Milo commented lightly.
…
In the dark primitive jungle.
Milo followed the gaps in the trees in the forest and entered the depths of the ground.
There is a large amount of fog here. Different from the outside world, the dense vegetation here blocks the fog all year round. It is estimated that there is no sunlight here during the day.
Who would have thought that behind the church's magnificent buildings there would be a primitive jungle.
And who would have thought that the mist-shrouded primitive jungle would be so "lively".
…
…
Of course, the excitement here does not mean that there are really any living creatures moving in the misty jungle. In fact, Milo can only hear them. sound.
These sounds are sometimes far and sometimes near, and their respective states are also different.
Some sound like a scholar holding a book and reciting formulas in a low voice, some sound like murmuring in sleep, and some sound like a passionate debate...
Their accents also vary, and some use grammar and speaking conventions that sound old-school in this day and age.
However, although there were many strange noises in the fog, Milo never saw anyone.
It seems that the Misty Jungle has been designated as a so-called forbidden area, because no living creature within the church has even come close to this place.
What separates the misty jungle and the building complex is an unfathomable ravine. The side close to the church building complex is a cliff vertical to the ground.
There is a lone suspension bridge here, but it has been taken away.
Milo jumped over with pure physical strength.
……
There was constant chattering in the jungle.
Milo calmly went all the way deep.
Whether it was the cry of a baby lingering in his ears or the voice of a scholar coming from time to time in the mist, he did not listen carefully, nor did he feel the slightest gloom.
After he stepped through the wet ground of the misty jungle and entered the depths.
As the terrain continues to get lower, the light that can be seen around is no longer the few rays of hazy moonlight that barely penetrates the fog and gaps between branches and leaves, but is emitted by these mushrooms Replaced by weak fluorescence, Milo also experienced a similar environment and atmosphere in the enchanted forest of Dreamland.
It’s just that the enchanted forest is full of sneaky forest animals.
And here, there is no trace of any living creatures.
Milo slopes downward all the way. It is like a huge mouth opened by the earth. The further you go down, the more peculiar the types of vegetation you can see. Basically, they are all types that cannot be seen on the ground. kind.
Those noisy murmurs seemed to only gather on the outskirts of the jungle. At this moment, in the depths of the jungle where the mushrooms were dotted with fluorescent spots, Milo could no longer hear the voices of scholars from different eras.
But the baby's cry continued.
......
In addition, the outer perimeter of the misty jungle does seem to be in its original unspoiled form, without any traces of artificial construction.
But after going deeper, Milo began to find some traces left by humans.
Those are stone steps covered with thick moss and vines on some rugged roads. There are not many steps, only three or four steps can be seen occasionally, and they are hanging in some completely vertical cliff areas. It is a rope ladder, but these rope ladders are also very old, and many of them are rotten and rotten, leaving two lonely ropes hanging there.
Although it has lost its original function, these things can be regarded as helping Milo guide the direction along the way.
…
In the deepest part of the misty jungle.
What Milo saw was an elevator with unknown power.
There is a starting handle on the ground next to it.
“It smells so strong.”
Milo muttered and kicked the activation switch.
Then the dull sound of the friction of chains and the rotation of gear shafts was heard in this dark underground environment.
About half a minute later, an old elevator rose up from the dark area ahead.
Milo stood up and stepped on a raised device in the center of the elevator floor. Then, the elevator made that unpleasant noise again and descended at a constant speed.
Along the way, Milo could only see the rising cliff on one side of the elevator. As for what the dark space behind him was, he didn't pay attention.
……
Half a minute later. The lift landed hard in a wet area.
The temperature here is much lower than the foggy jungle above. When Milo exhaled, white air began to appear from his mouth and nose.
Milo calmly raised his head and glanced at the environment outside the elevator.
Most of the area is dark, but from the sound of the elevator hitting the ground just now, and the echoes that followed several times, it is not difficult to judge that this is a very empty underground space. It is several times larger than the pilgrim's cave in the deserted mountains of Ikem.
You can’t really see anything with the naked eye.
Milo walked out of the elevator.
But as soon as he stepped out with his front foot, a huge stone ball with a diameter of about three or four meters ran over the edge of the elevator.
The moment it hit Milo's body, the left half shattered, and he hit the low-lying area crookedly, but the expected muffled sound did not come back, as if he was still there It's like disappearing.
Milo shook off the stone chips on his boots, with a look of dismay on his face: "Do this..."
…
He walked straight out of the elevator.
“Does the unseen land mean it’s so dark that you can’t see anything?”
Milo rubbed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, what he used to look around was no longer pure naked eye vision, but spiritual vision.
He is now a sequence of shadows. Shadows are darker existences than the "darkness" caused simply by the lack of light in the environment. In a dark environment, spiritual vision can not only help Milo Providing a rough outline of everything around him, he could even see clearly the "pitch black" here.
...
Although it is also an underground space.
But unlike the caves in the deserted mountains of Ikem that are full of primitive wild atmosphere, the so-called "unseen land" is a more complete architectural ruins.
Although there have been many distortions and collapses due to crustal movement, the outline of the entire building embedded in the ground can still be clearly presented.
It is a peculiar architectural style that is strongly separated from any area or period on the ground today.
It is not the traditional flying buttresses, pointed arches and other shapes in terrestrial civilization at all, but presents a weird sense of disharmony. It does not have the ultimate pursuit of geometric symmetry and coordination like today's humans, but presents There is a kind of chaos and laxity. If you have to use a certain way to describe it, it can only be "flame".
This complex of buildings buried underground is like a burning flame, giving people the feeling that their shapes are always changing and cannot be fixed for a moment, even after being buried for endless years. , it still seems to possess some indescribable sense of life.
This is an unseen place.
A forbidden area sealed by the church.
Milo saw a corner of the dark ruins.
But for the time being, he has not found the whereabouts of Daisy and Dillashaw.
…
The buildings embedded under the surface are not vertically embedded. Many of its structures have been twisted, collapsed, and buried at an oblique angle.
Therefore, the doors, windows, and paths that Milo can find now are all at an angle of at least 30° to the horizontal ground, sloping downward.
The Unseen Land is like an underground maze.
But Milo didn't think much and walked straight through the largest passage into the building complex.
Stepping on the ancient road that looked like a downhill slope, Milo's eyes stayed on some broken building stone monuments on both sides for a few seconds.
The stone tablets contain some mottos with strange symbols.
It just so happened that Milo could read these ancient texts -
"The will of the superior sent golden meteors and beasts together to this barren land. The oldest faith and Pray, start from now on.”
"The stars in the far beyond, in the lightless darkness, are always malicious, they have taken away the sky from the inhabitants and destroyed the eternal kingdom."
"In the past, great kings have served Scarlet, but in the future, only the abandoned and corrupt souls will remember those years."
"The furnace rejected all the will of God and left its only tenderness to the seeds of gold."
“When the heralds of destruction arrive and the stars arrive in their right places, the monsters sleeping in the tomb will be awakened, and the tomb itself will be awakened.”
…
Although the content was extremely obscure, Milo couldn't help but stop and observe.
Because these ruined walls seem to have some traces of totems carved on them, either beasts or strange species brought about by the ferocious epidemic. These are creatures that Milo has never seen before.
“Is today’s theme called ‘riddle’?”
He shook his head.
While in the church, the girl in white had already fed him a lot of messy messages. When he got to the unseen place below, he found that there were these fragmentary messages of proverbs everywhere, and there was no One sentence is a human saying.
