Inside The Black Mist Chapter 1018: Petrified Forest
Crack...
A few fluorescent sticks were dropped into the passage, bounced down the stone steps, and suddenly one of them popped out of the steps, so the group of fluorescent lights just fell into the darkness, and no echo was heard for a long time.
At the entrance of the passage, Gendan, who was squatting on the ground, took a deep breath: "My mother, there are no guardrails on both sides of the stairs? And the space below is too deep and too big, if you accidentally fall Go down, I'm afraid you won't be smashed to pieces."
Tianyang took the searchlight and took the lead to go down the first step: "Don't fall down, just come down one by one, with three steps between each person, don't panic, take your time."
Holding the lamp in one hand and the ice knife in the other, he climbed down the stairs.
Only after going down a few steps did I realize that this staircase has a rock wall on the left and a dark void on the right, with a faint orange-red light shining from time to time in the depths.
As long as you walk along the rock wall, there is no danger.
While walking, Tianyang was thinking about the problem just now.
This passage seems to appear too easily....
If it is said that in order to prevent people from obtaining the "God's Inheritance", the designer should not have designed the channel so simply. Just insert the 'key' and activate the gem with energy, and the channel will appear.
If it's that simple, it's not that the 'God's Legacy' has already been taken by someone.
The greatest possibility is the person who brought the 'key' out of Sea Deep Fort. That person probably already got the 'inheritance', and also earned a 'key' money by the way.
Of course, this is just a hypothesis.
Tianyang thought of another possibility, that is, this place is a trap.
Using the "God's Legacy" to lure explorers like them to come, therefore, the passage is designed relatively simple, easy to find, so that all explorers can be tricked into it, and then they will do it again.
However, it's all here, Tianyang is not reconciled if he doesn't find out.
If you want to come to Gendan Moonlight and the others, the same is true.
If there is any danger, the worst is to open the door and leave. Therefore, Tianyang is not too worried.
After walking for a while, Tianyang felt that the surrounding air had become humid, and the searchlight swept around, and found that, at some point, the stairs had already fogged up.
The mist was illuminated by the orange-red light below, revealing a hazy red light. It was relatively thin at first, but after walking for a while, the edge of the stairs could no longer be seen clearly.
"Attention everyone, walk on the left side, be careful not to fall off the slippery road." Tian Yang turned around and shouted, his voice echoing on the stairs.
Walking behind Tianyang, Long Dan suddenly gave a 'huh' and called out: "Tianyang, look below, is there someone here?"
Tianyang turned on the light and looked down, but he couldn't see anything except the mist.
"No, I don't see anyone."
"No."
Long Dan looked terrified, as if he was joking: "But I saw a palm, which looked like a woman's hand, but it seemed to have been soaked in water for a long time, and it seemed to be swollen."
"Look carefully, the third step is right under your feet, hiss, it seems to be climbing up."
Tianyang frowned and signaled the team to stop advancing. He illuminated it with a searchlight and counted the steps, but he did not see the swollen palm mentioned by Gentian.
Tianyang simply communicated with the black mist, extended his thoughts, and his perceptions flowed downward like a tide. Not to mention a few steps, he extended to nearly a hundred steps at once, and didn't find anything at all.
Gentian exclaimed: "Tianyang, it is standing in front of you. It is a monster. Although it looks like a woman, its whole body is swollen. My God, there is a scorpion in its belly. The hand stretched out."
"Can't you see? It's reaching out to touch your face!"
Long Dan screamed and raised his pistol, but pointed at Tian Yang.
Tianyang quickly held up Gendan's hand and fired the gun into the sky.
Long Dan cried out with a pale face: "Help me, Tianyang, it grabbed my hand, **** it, **** it, something like an umbilical cord protruded from its stomach, and it was still stained with mucus. I'm going to throw up."
Tianyang suddenly slapped Gendan on the face and shouted: "Calm down, there is no monster, it's me!"
Long Dan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Why is it you, I clearly saw a monster like a pregnant woman grabbing my hand just now."
Tianyang looked at the thick fog: "It should be because of the fog."
He raised his hand, and the 'gale wind' ring on his hand lit up, suddenly the air vibrated, forming a strong wind, howling and blowing around. The violent wind moved the mist, blowing them out of sight.
"Look again, are there any monsters?" Tianyang put down his hands and asked.
Gentian looked around, and finally shook his head: "No, it's strange, is it really the problem with the fog?"
"It's very possible. In addition, the light below here may also be related. They are refracted through the fog to form a certain spectrum, and it is also possible to create an illusion."
Tianyang raised his voice and said: "Anyway, everyone pay attention. Don't panic when you encounter any strange phenomena, stay calm."
Next, they didn't encounter the fog just now. After walking for a long time on the staircase suspended on one side, they finally saw the ground.
Tianyang was the first to set foot on the ground, and when he looked forward, there was a forest all around him! Tens of meters high, quite tall trees, one after another, three or five trees are piled up in a pile, forming a forest, an underground forest!
By comparing the time of going up the mountain, Tianyang roughly estimated that the depth they reached is already below the surface of the island.
In other words, they came to the submerged part of the island. If a passage is opened from the rock wall now, it is estimated that they can go straight to the sea.
And this forest, these trees, are actually not real plants. They are more like a kind of fossil. Those tree trunks, densely textured skin, and even entangled branches and leaves are already in the state of hard rock.
In these stone trees, from time to time there are orange-red lights shining, these lights are very weak, when there are too many stone trees here, when they light up, they will be connected together, so that Tianyang and the others are at high altitude When I was there, I discovered something.
"There is a forest under the ground?" Gentian also came down, and even walked to a stone tree to observe, but he dared not touch it casually, for fear of triggering something.
"Look over there." The moonlight pointed towards the depths of the forest, and in the depths of this petrified forest, the outline of the building could be vaguely seen. It seems that it is a more majestic and magnificent building than the temple on the top of the mountain.
A building of that standard is worthy of the 'God's Legacy'.
"Let's go quickly." Gentian urged excitedly, "I have a hunch that we're going to get rich this time."
Tianyang shook his head and poured a bucket of cold water on him: "The passage we came in is so easy to find. In my opinion, either the 'inheritance' has been taken away, or this is a trap."
"Don't be too happy."
After speaking, he continued to walk ahead, going deep into the petrified forest.
"You said, since there used to be a forest under the ground, would there be animals or the like? Maybe there will be people. If this is the case, have those things become fossils now?"
Long Dan talked while walking: "Don't think I'm annoying, but it's too quiet and depressing here. If I don't say anything else, I feel like I'm going crazy."
Yueguang sneered: "So you still know that you are annoying, that's okay, people, the most important thing is to have a little self-knowledge."
The two chattered one sentence at a time, so that the atmosphere of the team would not be too dull. After all, it is now underground, and it is walking in a petrified forest. These trees still emit orange light.
In such an environment, it is easy to make people feel depressed. Talking is good for distracting and reducing psychological pressure.
Tianyang didn't join their conversation, he looked around, he couldn't tell what kind of tree these trees were, and their interiors showed orange-red light from time to time, lighting up a striped road. Although these rays of light are dim, they are intense in color, like flames.
Tianyang has already felt that those rays of light are caused by some kind of overflowing energy, which is neither star accumulation nor dark particles. It should be a power that existed before this world slipped into the eternal night, and it belongs to this world alone.
Even though the world has slipped into darkness, and an unknown number of years have passed, the power of this world is still not completely exhausted.
At least, in this petrified forest, it is still tenaciously preserved, even though it is so weak that it will disappear at any time.
The forest was terribly quiet, without the slightest breath of living things. As one went deeper into the forest, the oppressive atmosphere became more and more obvious and intense.
Even Gendan, who has nothing to say, is now affected by this atmosphere and has no interest in talking. Keep your mouth shut and walk in silence.
Following Tianyang, a soldier suddenly felt that someone was blowing into his ear.
He immediately had goosebumps all over his body. You must know that he is wearing a full-body protective suit now, with no gaps exposed, how could he be blown by someone's ear?
He turned his head instinctively, and suddenly saw a vague shadow lying on his back, which seemed to be a wild beast, wolf or similar animal. It's just that its outline is extremely blurred, and only the limbs and head can be barely discerned.
However, this soldier could clearly feel a fishy smell emanating from the beast's snout. Immediately afterwards, the beast that couldn't see the specific shape opened its mouth wide and bit down on the soldier's neck.
With a whoosh, the chilly Ice Soul Knife slashed across the side of the blurred and distorted figure, and that figure immediately elongated and deformed, disappearing into the air like mist.
The soldier took a breath, his legs softened, and he sat down on the ground.
Until then, the surrounding people noticed the soldier's anomaly.
"What's going on?" Moonlight walked over.
Tianyang looked around and said, "There is something in the forest."
Then the words fell, behind the surrounding trees, on the canopy that radiated orange light, black figures with blurred shapes, like beasts or people, gradually appeared... ...
