At the moment when Pan Yue was swallowed by the lake, the originally distant lamentation could be heard with unusual clarity from the bottom of the lake.
He tried to use teleportation to find the explorers and others, but the lake water seemed to inhibit black magic. No matter how hard he tried, he could not mobilize the dark energy in his body, and could only let his body sink slowly in the lake water.
As the singing became louder and louder, Pan Yue suddenly saw a large number of small bubbles floating up from below.
He looked down and saw two familiar figures struggling below to slow down the sinking trend, while several strange-looking creatures were surrounding them and looking at them curiously.
The two struggling people were the explorer and Hu Lei, and the surrounding creatures covered their bodies with water plants. The skin exposed in the gaps between the water plants was a green color similar to the lake water, and there were organs similar to fish gills on the sides of their mouths. In addition,
After all, there is no difference between them and humans.
Pan Yue was overjoyed and swam towards them quickly, and the two of them smiled excitedly after seeing that he was safe and sound.
Kraken.
Pan Yue recognized the names of these creatures from the explorer's mouth. It was said that a large number of treasures were guarded under the sea. Unexpectedly, they appeared in the small lake of the foggy city.
"Woo——"
The siren let out a crisp cry, and there was no malice in his eyes. Seeing this, Pan Yue hurriedly reached out and pointed upwards. The sirens looked at each other and understood, and gathered together to lift the three of them up.
At this time, the explorer and Hu Lei had been deprived of oxygen in the water for too long. Both of them rolled their eyes and were about to faint again. Pan Yue slapped their faces hard to keep them awake.
The light from outside had shone through the water surface, and the fresh air was close at hand, but at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the water that made Pan Yue feel uneasy.
ghost.
It seemed to have been premeditated. It appeared from another dimension just as the three of them were about to surface. It leaned into the ears of the sirens and exchanged a few words in a strange language before disappearing.
The siren's expression slowly changed from shock to fierceness, and the eyes he looked at Pan Yue were filled with chilling hatred.
Although Pan Yue didn't know what was going on, she realized that the situation was not good, and quickly put her feet on the backs of the two of them and used her last bit of strength to kick them out of the water.
The reaction force pushed Pan Yue to sink quickly, and the sea monsters seemed to have no interest in the explorer and Hu Lei. They all rushed towards Pan Yue with their mouths wide open.
"Buzz——"
Different from the previous melodious singing, this time the siren's cry was extremely sharp, and with the impact of the water flow, it shattered Pan Yue's last consciousness.
blank.
Blank.
Pan Yue seemed to have come to another world, where there were no sirens and lakes, just a blank space.
This... is this what death feels like...
"He returns from death and hell and will eventually lead the world to face the final judgment."
This is the elegant voice of Zhao Qingquan.
Pan Yue turned around following the voice and saw Zhao Qingquan sitting at the desk in the wooden house writing furiously.
His appearance is still very young, just like before he entered the circle of light twenty-seven years ago.
Zhao Qingquan suddenly raised his head and looked at Pan Yue, his expression still so gentle and kind.
"Kid, it's not your fault."
A ray of holy white light made Pan Yue unable to open his eyes, and then gradually brought him back to reality.
He coughed violently several times, and the lake water poured into his chest, which made him sober up.
The sea monsters were still shouting and frantically pulling Pan Yue to sink to the bottom of the lake, when suddenly Zhao Qingquan's whisper came from not far away.
"Kid, you didn't do anything wrong, but there are some things you have to face."
Pan Yue looked in the direction of the sound and saw a rusty box placed on the rocks in front of him. The strong energy fluctuations emanating from the box made him immediately realize what was inside.
"Revelation".
Although he does not want to have anything to do with black magic at all, the explorer and Hu Lei are likely to be controlled by Hua Tianming at this moment. This is his only bargaining chip and hope.
Pan Yue rushed in the direction of the box. The sirens did not expect that he still had the strength to continue struggling and failed to stop him immediately.
Five meters...three meters...one meter...
Just when Pan Yue was about to reach the box, he felt a cold and sticky feeling on his ankle.
Closer! Closer!
The siren dragged Pan Yue back, completely unaware of the several manuscripts clutched tightly in his hands.
A special force has been exerted on the manuscript. An almost invisible film covers it to protect it from the erosion of lake water and time. Zhao Qingquan's sometimes straight and sometimes scrawled handwriting on it is still clearly visible.
Pan Yue didn't have time to read the words on it. She just glanced at it and was strangled by the siren from behind.
But it was enough. The dark energy surged in his body again, breaking through the shackles of the lake.
He shook his arms hard, and the huge impact pushed all the sea monsters back far away, and then he immediately clenched his fists.
With the violent fluctuations of the water waves, Pan Yue disappeared in front of the sea monster.
"Huh...huh..."
Pan Yue was lying in the huge pit that she had previously burned, gasping for air. Her hair soaked by the sea water was stuck tightly to her pale cheeks, and her lips were still trembling slightly.
"Where's the stuff?"
As expected, Hua Tianming once again suspended the explorer and Hu Lei in the air, staring at Pan Yue with a sneer.
"You already knew the Book of Revelation was here!"
"That's right, it's just...I can't go and get it myself."
"Why?"
"You'll understand later."
Pan Yue hated the man in front of her and stared at him fiercely.
"Why should I trust you?"
"You have no choice. If I had tried to take action, you would have died long ago."
"Let them go."
Pan Yue raised the Book of Revelation in her hand and spoke word by word through gritted teeth.
Hua Tianming's usually cold eyes instantly converged, and his expression turned out to be solemn. He slowly put the two of them on the ground and walked quickly to Pan Yue.
The moment he took the manuscript, Hua Tianming's body trembled with powerful mental fluctuations, and then he threw it back into the lake without even looking at "Revelation" before Pan Yue could react.
"what are you doing!"
"The fact that you can get it is enough to prove that you are the savior mentioned in the Book of Revelation. I don't care what it says."
This was the first time Pan Yue saw sincerity in Hua Tianming's eyes.
"Holy Son, I swear in the name of the Archbishop that I will protect you with my life from tomorrow on."
"...?"
"Please believe me. Although Fang Yang and I have different positions and methods, our goals are the same."
"Why starting tomorrow?"
Hua Tianming showed a cunning smile again, which made Pan Yue very uneasy.
"You have a lot of energy and inspiration, but your actual combat experience is too weak. This is my last test for you, goodbye."
"Varied......"
Before he finished speaking, Hua Tianming disappeared from here.
"Ahem..."
The explorer's weak coughing sound came from behind. Pan Yue quickly ran over to help him up, and Hu Lei followed closely, covering his head and opening his eyes.
"I c, brat, let me tell you, there was a b who knocked us out twice as soon as we met! As soon as we were rescued by you just now..."
"Uh...I know, let's leave the city of fog first."
Pan Yue didn't want to stay here any longer, and she no longer cared about hiding her identity in front of Hu Lei.
After receiving the "blessing" from the basement, his abilities were greatly improved. The teleportation bubble quickly enveloped the three of them, but just as they were about to leave, two mental fluctuations came quickly.
Pan Yue recognized that one of the sharp and small fluctuations came from the Silent One, and he should be able to lead the two of them away before it took action.
But the second wave of fluctuations that followed made Pan Yue tremble.
It was far more powerful than the Predators and Silencers. A strong sense of oppression made Pan Yue's blood almost stop flowing, and the teleportation bubbles that had been condensed slowly dissipated. This chapter has been completed!
