"It's done!"
The moment he struck out with all his strength, Bai Zhou knew that he would not fail without even looking at the wall in front of him.
Panting heavily, sweat dripped from the weak Bai Zhou's forehead.
This knife is layered on top of each other, and while Three Slashes is connected, it generates thirty-nine twenty-seven stamina, just like the waves of the sea, one wave is stronger than the other, and the layers are layered and mysterious.
No wonder it is indestructible, and no wonder it can explode 4.5 times the normal strength of the sword wielder!
Bai Zhou has never seen or heard of such a secret technique.
Other secret skills are to allow the spirituality in the body to have a space to vent, just like everyone is a water gun, but some have a larger muzzle and some have a smaller muzzle.
Exaggerated secret technique, someone uses a shower, someone pours water directly... the output power is just different.
But this kind of secret technique that explodes exponentially? It's simply cheating!
A bottle of water can be burned directly as gasoline, and the power of the explosion is naturally unstoppable.
It's a lunatic who broke in with a Molotov cocktail during the Water Splashing Festival...
At this moment, Bai Zhou is a completely different person.
A level 3 peak destiny focused on fighting [Adventurer].
4.5 times the full power explosion!
Now Bai Zhou, don't say anything [Van Gogh].
Even if [Anguishola] is pulled out again and they compete head-on, who is stronger and who is weaker will have to compete to find out!
But [Anguishola], in a huge and secretive killer organization like [Art Club], is already regarded as the backbone of the middle level, and has reached half of the top level.
Even if we look at the entire Tinghai, it is considered worthy.
... Calculate the time, how long has it been since Bai Zhou walked out of Evening City?
After all calculations, there is not even a month.
The boy is just starting out, so Treasure Sword should be prepared first.
From now on, even without Explosion Ritual, he will no longer be the weak fugitive Deceased who can be easily manipulated...
Thinking this way, Bai Zhou slowly narrowed his eyes, looking thoughtful.
There is often only a thin line between the prey and the identity of Hunter!
"Buzz!"
A ray of light Golden Brilliant fell from the sky, enveloped Bai Zhou, and then quickly disappeared.
But the fatigue on Bai Zhou's body disappeared immediately, and even the spirituality in his body was quickly restored.
This golden light effect seems to be somewhat similar to Bai Zhou's superficial application of <Moon God's Tear>, but I don't know the principle.
"Settlement begins... takes 9 hours and 10 minutes."
The cold mechanical sound came from nowhere again.
"Congratulations, pilgrim, Elite Assessment passed!"
The voice paused slightly here, and seemed to have some uneasy fluctuations that seemed to be absent:
"In addition, you broke the assessment record of the Divine Hall<Basic Nine Slashes>First Three Forms."
"Proved his talent."
Talent?
Bai Zhou held his eyes open and stood in the center surrounded by many skeletons, blinking twice.
Actually, not necessarily.
He turned his head and looked around.
The squirming Last Will seemed to be jumping for joy, and the scarlet light shone like a lost and unknown star.
Bai Zhou feels that he is just an insignificant thief who stole these stars and stood on the shoulders of giants to pick the fruits.
If there is a small amount of his own contribution, it is that he brought these broken stars that were lost in historical situations--
The new moon is pieced together by sewing.
That's all.
"It's their fault."
Bai Zhou whispered, as if thanking invisible people.
At this time, the cold mechanical sound sounded again:
"Now, please go along the passage in front of you and come to the end to receive the reward."
"--But remember! Never look back! Never lose your way!"
The moment the words fell.
The broken wall disappeared.
"Rumble..."
The ground seems to be rising.
A long and winding corridor appeared in front of Bai Zhou, as if a crouching dragon was entrenched.
It slowly goes upwards, and the deep darkness leads to an unknown end.
Reward?
Bai Zhou looked calm on the surface, but deep down he couldn't help but jump a few times.
Although he has achieved enough satisfactory results here.
But after working so hard for so long, isn't it just for this moment?
Don't adventure stories all have this kind of plot? A Adventurer who passes the test gets a Sacred Sword or sees a sleeping Sage. Either he pulls out the Sacred Sword and changes his job to a Brave One, or he embraces a beautiful woman and a sage to stay and fly together.
... Or maybe there is the sleeping Sage in Sacred Sword, a sword and a sage who can have both.
"Huh..."
Bai Zhou knew that he was about to leave this place where he had been trapped for a long time and set out again.
"Thank you."
Before leaving, Bai Zhou finally bowed to thank all Last Will and Withered Bones around him.
"..."
Of course, no one will respond.
The scarlet Last Will squirms slightly, just like Higanbana is swaying and producing its seeds.
There are Withered Bones looking up at the ceiling with dark eye bones and thinking about life, and there are also Withered Bones sitting cross-legged or leaning against the wall, lying down or lying on their sides.
Everyone is busy with their own things, how can they have time to pay attention to Bai Zhou, a passerby.
Then, Bai Zhou hit the road.
Then Last Will stopped swaying.
It was as if all Withered Bones and Last Will were holding their breath, silently watching Bai Zhou's back and watching him step into the deep and dark corridor.
No one knows where the end of this corridor is. Perhaps every step may lead to a miracle or an abyss.
Maybe there will be a vast and mysterious world at the end, where there will be angelic Maiden riding on the back of Silver Dragon, and in the breathing mountains, there will be Golden Giant people riding war horses with a sound like thunder.
But no matter which one, Bai Zhou walked resolutely towards the depths of darkness.
Regardless of black and white, every scenery will become a witness to his "adventure"; no matter what the story is, as long as you are there, it will be difficult to stay away from it, and it is destined to become a part of the epic.
--This is the fate of [Adventurer].
--Just like although Bai Zhou doesn't know where the road ahead in life is, he is always walking on the road to the unknown.
Those who can lie in a secret room and study <Basic Nine Slashes> are undoubtedly [Adventurer].
That's it, carrying their expectations for "adventure" and "future", Bai Zhou will not stop.
"Da, da..."
As the footsteps went away, Bai Zhou's figure disappeared into the dark depths of the corridor.
Last Wills seemed to be still watching something, until a new wall slowly condensed out of thin air, filling the collapsed hole.
A new secret room was formed, completely blocking their sight.
Everything returned to its previous calm state.
Wait for the new guy to come.
Or, never again.
"Whoa! Whoa!"
As Bai Zhou went deeper into the winding corridor, a sapphire embedded in the wall burned.
Immediately afterwards, there was the second one, the third one...
The sapphires on both sides of the corridor lit up one after another, winding toward the depths, as if a whole tribe of fireflies were awakened by Bai Zhou and held a silent Sacrifice Ceremony for him.
The faint blue cold light illuminates the murals on the wall.
"This is..."
Bai Zhou Look at it carefully.
Full ocher, fertile earthy yellow, gorgeous ultramarine and bronze Emerald Green Wait...
The bright colors seem to be made of ancient minerals as pigments, which are extremely gorgeous, but the lines are slightly rough.
Chaotic brushstrokes vaguely record many stories that look like epics but more like myths on the black rock walls.
... At the beginning of the mural, that is, at the beginning of the story, a vague and twisted figure first descends into the world.
There is neither the pull of Sun Chariot nor any vision. Deity just stands on the earth.
One of them is as huge as a majestic mountain, one is wearing a robe and looks like Surging Wind, one is rich and has Heavy Grains in his hair, and one is covered in armor and his pupils are like burning flames.
Those with a body like mountains can lead people to do good and endow all souls with life and virtue.
The one whose whole body is like a strong wind teaches people magic, truth, wisdom and contracts.
He who bears ears of grain at the end of his hair will give people fertile wheat fields and encourage reproduction.
Wearing armor all over, teach people to make weapons and farm tools to protect their relatives and Homeland.
... So, gradually, the colors of the murals became complex and enthusiastic, and the content became more dense and brilliant.
The walls of the city were built, calendars were carved on animal bones, and sacrificial songs were sung around the campfire.
After completing guidance and creation, Deity's figure gradually no longer occupies the center of the screen.
They hide in the clouds and mountaintops, becoming the background for watching the world, and return this prosperous world to humans themselves.
As a result, in the following murals, the figures of "people" became larger and clearer.
Murals began to depict people's emotions and development more and more clearly.
In the end, a prosperous, noisy, and thriving world will be created by humans themselves...
"Deity, civilization..."
Judging from the "Laia" that Bai Zhou has seen.
Those Deity may have had prototypes in the past, or they may just be people's imagination and fabrication.
But one thing is for sure.
An unknown ancient civilization, the history of its birth and rise, is here.
Through these murals engraved in the corridors of the Divine Hall, Bai Zhou learned a little about the past of this civilization for the first time.
Gradually, I became fascinated, and Bai Zhou heard some singing in my ears.
This song is ethereal, distant, sacred and solemn, like a hymn from Church of Light, floating around my ears.
Although I can't understand the content, if I listen carefully, I find that the song is a little sad, which affects people's emotions and makes them inexplicably sad.
"Where did the singing come from?"
Bai Zhou felt shocked and looked around.
"Could it be that I Auditory Hallucinations again?"
--Is there something wrong with the mural?
On Sea of Ignorance, the word [Soothing] is activated immediately.
At the same time, Bai Zhou hurriedly looked away from the mural, not daring to look at it again.
But the singing still didn't change at all.
Not a mural!
After careful identification, Bai Zhou discovered...
The solemn and sacred Vast Distant Hymn, with a certain call and sorrow, seems to come from...
--Divine Hall depths, the end of the corridor!
It was as if there was someone, or some existence... waiting for him there?!
Is it the owner of the mechanical sound that I heard before?
"..."
After hesitating for a moment, Bai Zhou had no choice but to move on.
The beginning of the corridor is the secret room.
He didn't even know where he was, and there was no way out at his feet.
Fortunately, although the singing sound came suddenly and strangely.
But since it is in the center of this closed Divine Hall, and the singing is so holy and solemn, there should not be any vicious Monster coming out.
Moreover, although singing can easily affect people's emotions, beautiful singing is even more immersive...
But it's actually surprisingly harmless.
At least, Bai Zhou didn't feel any discomfort at all after listening to it.
It's a pity that this ethereal voice, if placed in Tinghai City, would definitely be the number one diva...
Even though I was thinking about it in my heart.
But Bai Zhou still subconsciously grasped the saber behind his waist with one hand, and the Short Club gifted by Laia around his waist with the other hand.
Not only that, he also lingered in the corridor for a long time, thinking a lot in his mind.
But the road must come to an end.
As the light in front of him changed rapidly, Bai Zhou walked out of this long and winding dim corridor.
"Here is..."
The vigilant Bai Zhou, half of his body still hidden in the corridor, carefully looked at the surrounding environment:
"Where to get rewards?"
What comes into view is a circular square.
As time goes by, everything here is dilapidated, but some traces of the past can still be seen.
The dome of this circular square located in the center of the Divine Hall is not closed, but suddenly open.
In the middle is a circular sacrificial platform, with all the Candle Flames on it extinguished.
Behind the huge sacrificial altar are statues of several gods that Bai Zhou has seen on murals before. Their features are the same as those on the murals.
One of the largest ones, standing in the middle, is Deity, who is wearing a robe and holding a book, like a strong wind.
Bai Zhou speculates that in the beliefs of this civilization, he may symbolize "truth", "magic" and "contract".
"Buzz..."
The holy singing that surrounded my ears also reached its highest pitch at this time.
But Bai Zhou didn't see the creature or object making the sound.
Inexplicably, Bai Zhou felt a sticky intuition of being watched.
"What...?"
With some doubts and vigilance, I followed the grand carol to find the source. Finally, Bai Zhou slowly raised his head and looked above his head in the distance.
Then, he immediately felt excited all over.
Bai Zhou saw...
On the edge of the patio overhead,
He saw a hand.
A huge, skinny Withered Hand was clinging to the edge of the patio at the top of the Divine Hall.
The five fingers are like twisted vines, deeply entwined into the edge walls of the building.
Extending back along Withered Hand, you can vaguely see a huge dry arm, like a dead Ancient Wood.
But, the next moment--
Just next to the arm, an eye popped out.
It is better to say that it is an eye, rather it is more like a piece of Pale Moon rising from the dark swamp. The whites of the ferocious eyes are full of bloodshot eyes, and the sick pupils are spinning around -
Make eye contact with Bai Zhou.
Peep...
In other words, it is sitting on the top of the Divine Hall, spying on Bai Zhou!
As if to say:
"I see you!"
And what I heard before, that sad, holy, beautiful Ethereal Hymn--
It clearly came from the mouth of this huge Monster!
The open patio above the head just became the trumpet at the giant's mouth, allowing his song to reverberate throughout the Divine Hall!
"..."
At this moment, Bai Zhou's whole body was as cold as ice, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and it was even difficult to move under some terrible pressure.
Just looking at each other once, Bai Zhou was losing his mind like crazy. Countless messy and useless information hit his brain like a rainstorm, making him unable to think.
Once upon a time, Bai Zhou stood in the broken wasteland, looking up at the Giant City hanging upside down in the sky, wondering if there could be Sleeping Beauty inside.
But now, Bai Zhou knows.
There is no Sleeping Beauty here, but there is a huge "Siren".
It's the Monster who in the fairy tale seduces the sailors by singing, and finally opens his bloody mouth and eats all the sailors!
--On this day, Bai Zhou recalled the fear of being dominated by Siren when he read the story Siren in his childhood.
"What to do?"
"What should I do!"
The muscles all over his body roared, and ripples caused by the word [Soothing] swept through his body.
Bai Zhou While his brain briefly regained consciousness, he tried his best to regain his freedom of movement.
Then--
The familiar cold mechanical sound sounded again, spreading throughout the circular square.
The moment it sounded, Bai Zhou somehow resumed his actions and felt relaxed all over.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Bai Zhou felt that the mechanical sound had a solemn and solemn flavor, like chanting, but he seemed to have some doubts about Bai Zhou:
It says:
"See Great Sacrifice--"
"Why don't you worship?"
