Chapter 547 Secret
"It's better to avoid them. There will be danger if there is too much movement."
Hugo said softly.
He turned to look at the gentleman in black hat and said in a low tone:
"Please, my Majesty."
"Easy to do."
Chen Lun nodded in response, raised the white cane in his hand, and an invisible mysterious force enveloped the three of them. The next moment, they all disappeared from the spot, and then flashed to a place one kilometer away in a straight line.
Rumbling...
A huge sound came from behind them.
Hugo and Ibrahim looked back, frowning, and saw a pink mist rising from the place where the monsters were originally fighting, shrouded in the "skeleton atmosphere".
One can imagine how brutal the fighting there will become. However, just when the two of them were about to look away and continue on their way, a huge head that covered the sky and the sun rose from the ground!
There was no skin, only composed of countless muscle fibers. It opened its huge mouth like a giant jellyfish, plunged down, and gnawed away a large piece of dark red area!
Click!
There was a sound like shattering glass, the Didak bugs and the flesh-and-blood creatures of the underworld all struggled and twisted, and were swallowed up by the huge mouth.
Woo——
The surface of the giant mouth opened with chrysanthemum-like holes, and it suddenly shrank. With the dancing of countless muscle-like tentacles, the pink mist was sucked in by the whale, and then countless blood gushes out like a fountain. The blood rain and pink mist slowly sank with great satisfaction... The earth trembled, and the surrounding area returned to calm, leaving only a large, jagged pit on the crimson earth.
"What is that..."
Ibrahim asked in great shock.
This was the first time he had seen such a deformed behemoth. The mythical aura it exuded was strong, giving him a strong sense of threat.
Hugo on the side said solemnly:
"Lords of Gluttony... they can be regarded as one of the dominant creatures in the Nether World, and they are also the direct family members of Madam Rose. Even saints are probably not willing to provoke them because they are too difficult to deal with."
He shook his head.
"As long as we don't make too much noise and don't use mythical power frequently, we won't attract their attention... Let's continue on our way, 'Giant Skull Peak' should be not far ahead."
Ibrahim nodded silently.
Fortunately, the three of them didn't intervene in the fight between the group of monsters, otherwise they might have been targeted by the mythical creature... It wouldn't be a big deal if they couldn't defeat it, but it would definitely be extremely troublesome, and maybe the movement of the attack would also cause trouble. More unknown beings are coming.
'Sure enough, the old guy Hugo has been prepared for a long time. He has enough understanding of the underworld and is very cautious at the same time, which can make this journey much smoother. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself and felt relieved.
Finally, he looked back at the area that was eaten by Lord Gluttony. A new "skeleton atmosphere" slowly filled the place, and his vision was flooded with pink.
'Is it a mythical creature equivalent to a high-ranking person... Mrs. Rose's family is interesting. ’
He supported the black hat, followed Hugo's footsteps, and continued moving forward.
There were no more dangerous situations on the road after that, except for occasionally encountering some wandering, hungry creatures from the underworld.
Seeing those deformed monsters with peeling skin, exposed muscles, and bloody bodies, Ibrahim seemed particularly disgusted and disgusted. Basically, he was the one cleaning them up.
Often, with just a wave of his hand, in the twinkling of stars, the incoming monsters would turn around and fight each other...or they might be insane, tearing and biting at themselves, and finally killing themselves alive. .
Hugo seemed very calm about this, but Chen Lun watched with interest. It must be said that when Ibrahim took action, every move contained beauty...
‘Misleading, confusing and tampering with knowledge are the main methods used by the high-ranking people in the stars. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
Jingle bell…
A piece of silver sparkling starlight flowed from Ibrahim's fingers, making a subtle but crisp sound.
Five bird creatures with huge wing membranes, their beaks split into three pairs like petals, and strange frog sounds emitted from their mouths. They seemed to have lost their sense of direction, fell diagonally, and plunged to the ground.
Amidst the muffled sound of thumping, these bird monsters violently fluttered on the ground, splashing blood-red soil. A group of strange creatures, drooling and covered with deformed bone spurs and cuticles, swarmed in and kept eating away at the body of the bird monster.
Then, when these monsters were full, they swarmed towards the abyss ahead... As if they were returning home, they jumped towards the bottomless cliff until their figures were engulfed in dark red.
"Thank you for your intervention."
Hugo smiled and nodded to Ibrain.
The latter just waved his hand.
Chen Lun remained silent on the side, feeling that the reason why the old principal invited Ibrahim was partly due to friendship, and partly because of his power... The misdirection and confusion of the stars would not cause There is too much movement and it can easily clear obstacles, which is very suitable for this journey.
At this time, the old principal raised his staff, and a bright green light shone.
"Scout."
He murmured softly.
The bodies of the three people were covered by an invisible veil, hiding their figures. Immediately afterwards, Hugo waved his staff again.
"Fake death."
On top of the tulle, another layer of dim light was added, and the life breath of the three people also dissipated.
"Next we need to move along the rift abyss. There are many mythical creatures similar to the 'Gluttony Lord' swimming below. A little cover can reduce the probability of being discovered..."
After Hugo gave a brief explanation, he continued to lead the way.
The three of them marched again. About half an hour later, a broken wall appeared in front of them. Many humanoid bone sculptures stood upright, but they were missing arms and legs. Some even had more than half of their bodies weathered and scattered.
"This should have been a settlement of residents of the Netherworld. They believed in Madam Rose and lived here for generations..."
When Hugo saw this scene, he was a little unsure and just said in a suspicious tone.
Then he turned back and looked at the gentleman in black hat with questioning eyes. Chen Lun immediately smiled, raised his hand and flicked his fingers.
bite!
A blue gabo spun in mid-air, fell immediately, and fell into the palm of his hand, revealing the head of "King Byron" William Lev.
"Safe."
Chen Lun smiled.
Hugo and Ibrahim did not look down upon such a childish scene, but nodded very seriously.
The divination of a Saint of Destiny, no matter what means he uses to achieve it, its essence will not change... Since Jack said safety, it means safety, even if it is Ibrahim, the Saint of the Stars, who is also good at divination, I dare not say that I will come to a more accurate judgment.
"Give me ten minutes, I need to collect information about these ruins."
Hugo whispered.
"No problem, I'll be on guard."
Ibrahim said consciously.
Hugo nodded towards the two of them and immediately walked into the ancient ruins. Chen Lun's heart moved and he followed.
The old principal just looked at him briefly and said nothing.
After a while.
Chen Lun was wandering among the ruins when he suddenly saw a statue of bones with only its legs left, and some vague words engraved on its base.
He came closer and took a closer look, and found that the handwriting on it was all written in the Yanita language. Fortunately, his level of this language was already high, so he could easily read it.
"The dark earth, the twinkling starry sky, and the weird dreams are all illusions...Only the other side of the present world and the spiritual world is the beginning of the world."
"In ancient times, the gods were like relatives and friends, but now, the gods are like enemies... The Dragon of Light, the King of Giants, the Tree of the World, the Lord of Destiny and the Star of Enlightenment. The five gods have particularly close relationships, such as the Emerald Bird, the Scavenger and the Star of Enlightenment. The captain and other gods also..."
"The ancient gods are all enemies, the giant has fallen, the spirit and flesh are attacked, and the rose is stunned... According to legend, the dragon of light is the source of light in the world, always shining in the world without darkness, but unfortunately it is missing now."
"..."
Chen Lun looked at these dilapidated words, and intermittent information came into his mind, making him a little confused.
‘The era when these ruins are located is unknown...and the meaning of the first paragraph is that in the beginning, there were only the real world and the spiritual world, and the ghost world, star world and dream world did not exist? ’
He thought of the information he had just received from the Generous Council today. Regarding the definition of the underworld and other other worlds, it was said that their birth was just an accident. This could also fit the description of this passage.
'The second and third paragraphs mentioned familiar ancient gods. As far as I know, the Lord of Destiny is Duke Huan, the World Tree is Miss Holy Tree, and the Star of Enlightenment corresponds to Mr. Jing Yao... ...The fall of the King of Giants should be related to Mrs. Rose, and the Dragon of Light was once the sun god of the world, and then disappeared... Well, this is probably inseparable from the father. ’
Chen Lun frowned slightly.
He guessed that these ancient gods seemed to have had some secret wars with the gods of the current era... and Huan Gong's last wish and great cause was to kill the seven gods, so could it be related to it?
‘If history is true as these writings say, then Duke Huan’s motive for killing the Seven Gods was to avenge his friends? Hmm... This reason is too far-fetched, so it probably isn't. ’
Chen Lun still had some doubts.
For example, he had never heard of the ancient gods mentioned in texts such as the Emerald Bird, the Scavenger, and the Thousand Captain, and they could not correspond to the current true gods.
‘So did these ancient gods fall? If not, where would they be now? ’
He felt like the fog in his heart was getting heavier.
Not long after.
Hugo used magic to record some of the text and graphics left at the ruins, and also took away a small part of the bone carving remains, probably intending to take them back for study.
The three of them left the ruins and continued on their way.
Another two hours passed.
Everyone finally arrived at the "Giant Skull Peak". A forest-white skull as big as a mountain peak stood here. It looked like a human but not human, and its two cave-like eye holes were already covered with flesh and blood vines.
These "vines" are roughly more than ten meters in diameter, like giant pythons, twisting and winding. Their skin is covered with bulging veins, and the exposed skin is composed of tight muscle fibers, which is quite terrifying. There are also scarlet rose flowers blooming from the surface of the vine, giving people a paradoxical beauty that is both coquettish and grotesque.
Vines grew everywhere, even blocking the path of the three of them.
Chen Lun looked up. For some reason, he always felt that the owner of this head was most likely the King of Giants...
"Damn...how did these things appear?"
Hugo's usual smile disappeared, his face changed slightly, he cursed first, then suppressed his voice and said:
"Be careful with these flesh and blood plants... In a sense, they are the incarnations of Mrs. Rose, the true masters of the underworld, and are far more terrifying than those mythical creatures!" (End of Chapter)
