Neferty's eyes turned white and she fainted. Griffith hurriedly supported her, carefully paying attention to the expression of the Odessa investigator.
"What is that?" The investigators present murmured with tremors originating from the depths of their souls. The two dead Extraordinaries had completely lost their vitality. Their unsightly remains were scattered on the ground, and characteristic crystals slowly precipitated.
.The Sequence 7 Beyonders are warriors with strong shields or resistance, but both of them were killed in a very short period of time, without even triggering defense.
"I saw the shadow's hand extinguish the light. Bolton should be the one who was attacked. Collect their extraordinary characteristics, maybe we can find something from them," Miss Wendy covered her mouth and said, "But, with the ability to interpret
The only one who knows is Lord Erem, we need to ask him to interpret it."
"That's right!" Archaeologist Ben-Hur immediately agreed, "We need to join them and gather together. Don't you think so? Two senior extraordinary people can't even resist at all. I'm in Sasha in the south.
When exploring Ernas Crater, even the most ordinary servants could escape from being attacked by a swamp tar monster!"
The frightened archaeologist spoke very quickly, and the faces of the others became uglier than the last.
Diaz stared at the blood foam and broken bones on the ground and said: "No matter what it is, it completed the mutation from invasion to maturity in less than a minute. This is a parasitic organism that we have never recognized.
Extremely dangerous.”
Seeing the most powerful transcendent in the team saying this, the others became even more shaken. Their whispers seemed like they were talking to themselves.
"Could it be the creation of that existence?"
"Is not it……"
"I heard there was an appearance on a fast ship bound for Neopolis..."
This almost gibbering murmur formed an abnormal ensemble of layers of "saws, swats, swats" in the dark night. It didn't sound like a human voice to Griffith, and it was almost unbearable.
The strange attack in the dark night was indeed terrifying, but the Extraordinaries in Odessa were too panicked.
“It’s really breathtaking.”
Amid the insane whispers, Griffith suddenly heard a calm and peaceful compliment, and couldn't help but feel like a confidant. He raised his head and met Naila's calm gaze.
"Amazing? Are you crazy?" Knight Milban carefully picked up the characteristic crystal and put it away with a sad face. "This is the most terrifying monster I have ever seen. Professor, you must know what this is, right?"
Professor Lafayette's face turned to tears. He did not answer, but just activated the echo to contact the team that entered the depths of the island.
"Forward team, please reply immediately. We were attacked by unknown parasites with shadow characteristics. Priest Bolton and Wizard Lake were killed one after another. We need to know your situation."
There was silence on the other end of the echo.
"They haven't heard back," the professor replied. "We might..."
"We have to set off to find them immediately!" Knight Milban shouted, "What? What are you thinking? Shouldn't the advance team keep in touch with us at all times? Encountering such a weird monster, we lost our connection again.
Contact the advance team and must set off immediately to join them."
Several people immediately agreed.
"They are in the Lost Temple, and the risks associated with this...we need to gather with them as soon as possible."
"No, we must strictly guard the camp at this time and notify them to be careful through the echo!"
"Didn't you see the reply and couldn't reach me?"
"We must remind them of our experiences. If something unexpected happens to them, the entire operation will fail. We have paid such a huge price, should we just watch everything go to waste?"
The camp group quarreled, and Professor Lafayette said that caution must be used, but most people were eager to leave and did not want to stay here for a minute.
…
In the midst of the noise and confusion, Naila walked towards Griffith: "Thank you for taking care of Neferty."
"You're welcome." Griffith nodded calmly and handed the girl over.
Naila looked at her fainted sister, quickly withdrew her gaze, and refocused on Griffith's face: "Do you think they will set off for the ruins or hide here? Well, by the way, Mr. Dantès, you might
You still don’t know, but in a cave not far from here, there is a ruin left by an ancient god. It is said that there is a secret hidden there that can make all wishes come true.”
All wishes? This is how the people of Odessa view this ruins? Griffith shook his head:
"I am just a guest, relying on your protection. This is not something I can decide."
"But you can observe, can't you?" The corner of Naila's mouth raised slightly, "Staying away from the matter can make us calm, comprehensively examine reality from a higher dimension, and see the details that are not revealed. Here is the best place in the world
They are mystical scholars and experienced adventurers, but they were all frightened by a creature no bigger than a curly-haired baboon, and they wished they could hide under the quilt with the others."
Griffith listened quietly: "What do you mean by details?"
"All greatness," Naira said, "starts from humble beginnings."
He turned around with a smile and looked at Griffith like a puppet in a puppet show:
"Mr. Dantès, do you know? This is the ruins of a lost dream. No one comes here for no reason. The breath of God invisibly guides our destiny, and the memories of the past will enslave our determination.
"Why did you come here?"
Griffith held his sword with both hands and said slowly: "It seems that these years of adventure have brought me back to my old life. I long for peace, but life seems not to be what I want."
"That may be the case," Naila took her sister and held her in her arms, "Why did your lady come here?"
Griffith looked at Alandel: "It's also because of me that I dare to love you."
"It's possible," Naila rubbed her sister's hanging hair and looked at her cheek, "Everyone has a reason to come here, everyone."
…
In the end, the Odessa investigators decided to join the advance team.
They persuaded the hesitant Professor Lafayette to pay attention to the loss of communication and the dangers in the darkness. They did not waste a moment and went deep into the unpredictable and sinister night without hesitation.
The night on the island in the Chaos Sea is stirred by hurried footsteps and flickering lights. The darkness seems to contain endless breath and countless secrets that have never been pried into by humans. It stretches from the seaside slopes to the rocky cliffs and the unknown deep in the jungle.
Unknown ancient ruins.
Griffith and Alandel also walked together. After all, normal people would not want to stay alone in the terrible camp where two people were just killed.
Everyone brought some belongings and followed the well-marked and obstacle-cleared path to a cave without any difficulty, and entered the interior from there. They went down the rotating passage, feeling uneasy along the way. It seemed that every corner
The darkness has evil eyes peering into it.
Finally, they came to the huge cave where the giant snail was located underground, and saw the simple camp and magic circle set up by the advancing team as mentioned in the message. However, there was no one there, and the team led by several extraordinary people was not there.
Manpower is left here.
"Where did they go?" Knight Milban asked, "Hook should be guarding here with his men."
No one answered him. Everyone had a gloomy face and some bad thoughts running through their minds.
"Let's go in," Professor Lafayette said without hesitation, "go in and find them."
The Extraordinaries in Odessa immediately took action. Although they were frightened, they cooperated with each other very well. Milban was responsible for opening the way, with Patolion at the rear. The spellcasters concentrated in the middle of the team and got in without hesitation.
Inside this giant body, the surrounding walls seemed to have been corroded by acid, changing from smooth chitin to some kind of dark brown substance that looked like flesh and blood. If you put your hand on it, you can feel the uneven roughness.
There was even a faint, almost heartbeat-like throbbing.
Meridian-like purple-red parasites are everywhere. Ugly joints and tentacles are covered in disgusting spots.
The further you walked inside, the more humid and stuffy you felt. The "ticking" sound coming from somewhere was reverberating monotonously and mechanically, and a pungent smell like acidic vomit became stronger and stronger. Later,
There was even fluid under the feet, and it was as sticky as glue when one stepped into it.
There was no sign of the advancing group along the way.
Finally, when they arrived at the middle and upper part of the conch, they found that it was a cavity covered by a huge dome. In the center of this biological chamber was a bottomless black lake. Black shadows were shaking in the lake.
If you look closely, it looks like the hair of the deceased floating in the water, waving to the living people on the ground. Under these strange water plants, deeper in the water, you can vaguely see thick, fat tentacles growing windingly, as if
Monsters with evil intentions are entrenched among them.
"Look at those leaves, there are things like barnacles next to them," Professor Ben-Hur said, "Be extra careful there, we don't know what kind of life is living inside."
There is a protruding boulder on the edge of the lake, which is perfectly positioned like an altar.
Here everyone found more facilities left behind by the advance team, and even a set of well-arranged lighting equipment. As soon as they lit up, they saw a large group of twisted shadows appearing in front of the chamber.
It stands under the dome of the chamber and is fifty or sixty meters long. Like a terrifying owner, it watches the maggots that rush in. Its gray surface is filled with the smell of decay. It stretches out from the lake, covered with spiders than elders.
The stone pillars of the chamber also have thick curly tentacles.
It must be the owner of the giant snail. It is impossible to imagine how huge the other parts under the water are. Just seeing this twisted behemoth, Griffith felt dizzy, and a desperate smallness almost made him crawl to the ground.
.
There is no doubt that this is a creature that once had a godhead! It is the identity of this dream ruins.
Such a huge and mysterious creature, if it moves, it will tear everyone here to pieces in the blink of an eye!
But Griffith soon felt something was wrong. The aura of this huge creature made people dare not look up. However, this ancient and vast body had lost its vitality. Now, it only has twisted and shrunken pieces of flesh, covered with overgrown
