Chapter 64 Unknown Strange Object (Bonus Chapter for Recommendation Tickets)
Death Breath seemed to have a very good appetite. After eating most of the vampire bats on the web, it climbed to the edge of the spider web that had been broken by the statue knight, bit by bit eating the broken spider silk, and then re-spinning the web. After finishing all this, seeing that Fang Senyan hadn't left, it jumped and leaped to Fang Senyan, with a vampire bat injected with digestive enzymes in its poisonous fangs. It threw it in front of Fang Senyan, seeming to be offering him food.
Fang Senyan looked at the vampire bat, which was bulging like a ball, with thin yellow viscous liquid constantly overflowing from its eyes, ears, and nose. A feeling of powerlessness welled up in his heart. Even if he had an appetite looking at this thing, it would have flown to the ends of the earth.
But who knew what the consequences of disappointing this big spider's good intentions would be, so Fang Senyan could only squeeze out a smile, reached out and picked up the bat. Unexpectedly, the Nightmare Mark sent out a message:
"Hint: You have discovered an unknown oddity."
"Hint: You can submit this oddity when you return to the Nightmare Space in exchange for rewards."
"Huh?" Fang Senyan didn't expect there to be such a benefit. He didn't feel disgusted by the bat at all. He immediately picked up the bat and put it into the Nightmare Mark. At this time, he deeply felt the inadequacy of the storage space being too narrow. But now was not the time to consider such things. Death Breath tilted its head and looked at Fang Senyan for a long time, probably wondering why he was so greedy, not only sucking up the juice of the prey but also eating the shell... After a while, it simply stopped worrying about this issue and slowly, lazily, climbed down the rock wall, quickly disappearing into the clouds.
Fang Senyan continued to rest here for nearly four hours. After a good sleep, he basically returned to normal. The stone walls here could still emit a faint light, so it wasn't dark. He took some food out of the storage space and ate it, then began to climb down along the cracks in the mountain wall. As the altitude gradually decreased, some moss and other plants began to appear on the rock wall. He didn't know if it was because he was carrying the severed finger key with him, but Fang Senyan was safe and sound all the way. He began to realize that the further down he climbed, the greater the steady and continuous heat generated by the key.
Finally, after a long climbing process, the ground below came into view. If it weren't for the fact that contractors had digitized bodies, even the world's best rock climber would not be able to support themselves for so long in one breath.
Fang Senyan jumped off the stone wall and rolled to the ground. Although his chest was still aching faintly, it didn't affect his movements. Countless tall stalagmites divided the ground here, grayish-white fungi grew in the damp edges and gaps, and some semi-dry and semi-wet moss covered the ground. This seemed to be a huge maze made of a large number of white stalactites.
Fang Senyan even encountered some mandrakes while moving. These dangerous plants were considered to have evil life, and their seeds were created by the underground dead. Their roots presented a strange male and female shape. Once they left the soil, they would emit a deadly scream. Fang Senyan personally saw these mandrakes actively pull themselves out of the soil and then use screams to hunt. Even though he escaped quickly at the time, he still lost about 1/3 of his life.
Fortunately, Fang Senyan also had the severed finger key as a guide at this time. It seemed to be able to magically point in a certain direction. Once it went off course, the degree of heat would quickly decrease. After stumbling for more than ten kilometers, artificial modifications began to appear in front of Fang Senyan. He also clearly felt that he didn't know how many dangers were lurking in the dark along the way, but for some reason, they all chose silence and forbearance. After walking for another ten minutes, Fang Senyan climbed onto an underground hill, and suddenly his eyes widened!
In front of him was a clearing that could even be described as a plain. The clearing was scattered with a large number of low buildings and simple shacks. This area, which covered at least dozens of square kilometers, could not be described as a town or market. It was simply an underground city or refugee camp... of course, it could only be described as dirty, chaotic, and poor... Although the style of the buildings was hasty and simple, one could still vaguely see some of the peculiar crooked and scattered style of Gringotts.
Fang Senyan slowly walked into it. He estimated that he was the first active creature to walk into this city in nearly ten thousand years. The traces of time seemed to have stopped here. Fang Senyan stepped on the ground, and the fine dust even spread over his feet. To his left was a grocery store called "Half a Penny," inside of which one could vaguely see the mess left behind during the evacuation. To his right was a food store called "Huge Diamond," inside of which the stools were piled up crookedly, as if it had been robbed.
Fang Senyan coughed lightly. The houses within a radius of more than twenty meters around him collapsed at the same time, stirring up dust that blotted out the sky! All signs of life activity returned to their origins in an instant, turning to ashes! At this time, Fang Senyan suddenly enjoyed a sense of wanton destruction from a superior, but this collapse caused a terrifying chain reaction, and the surrounding areas also began to collapse wildly. After only a few minutes, a flat, huge cloud of dust rose above this plain!
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Fang Senyan, who had turned into a pile of white powder five minutes later, rushed out frantically, burying his head and sprinting forward for nearly a hundred meters before looking up. Then he knelt on the ground, pinching his nose and retching for a long time before finally recovering. He wasn't sure if he would have been the first contractor to be choked to death by dust if he had stayed a few minutes longer.
At this time, he raised his head and was immediately stunned.
In front of him was a straight, huge road extending forward, and this road was made of crystal, a hundred meters wide. There were gurgling streams on both sides of the road, the water was clear. More than a dozen huge pyramids stood on the left and right. The architectural mode of these pyramids had both the square shape of the Mayan temples and the triangular shape of the Egyptian pyramids. Next to each pyramid were guardian statues hundreds of meters high. The Mayan statues were the elegant and ferocious feathered serpent god Kukulkan, while the Egyptian ones were the mysterious and majestic Sphinx! He didn't know what secrets were hidden at the end of this passage, but it actually needed to be guarded by pyramids, which were the specifications for burying emperors!!!
Fang Senyan looked back, but the way he came from was vast and seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mist, so he couldn't see clearly. Obviously, there should be a magical barrier here that could block people's vision. Otherwise, he should have noticed such a magnificent building complex on the hill. He tried to go back, but it seemed like he was just walking in place after walking for a long time.
Helpless, Fang Senyan washed his whole body in the clear stream next to him and continued to move forward. Without walking a hundred meters, the feeling of great intimacy in his heart surged up again, which could be said to be exactly the same as what he had experienced at the gate of Gringotts before! The difference was that the feeling at the gate of Gringotts could be said to be a whim, which came and went quickly, while the current feeling was like a drop of water, light and continuous!
"Damn it." A chill suddenly appeared in Fang Senyan's heart: "Is it because my perception is too low and I'm being influenced and misled? Is it actually a trap inside to send me to my death?"
But he had just been misled by the high perception of the hunting spider "Death Breath" not long ago. If he thought about it carefully, he would find that the feeling in his heart at this time was different from the previous feeling. Moreover, after trekking so hard to get here, it was really unreasonable not to go in and see what was going on. After taking a deep breath, he could only move forward again.
At this time, the road under Fang Senyan's feet also seemed very solemn, built of deep black jade, deep and heavy. Walking on it was like walking in the night sky. Something seemed to have appeared on the surface of the road. Looking closely, it was a huge and exquisite bas-relief. In order to collect more information about this mysterious place, Fang Senyan carefully read it. He found that the picture on it was actually painting a huge and ferocious humanoid monster, growing three heads and eight arms, looking strong and fat. The eight hands were carrying various weapons that looked very powerful, killing in and out of many terrifying creatures as if there was no one there.
After walking a bit further, the fat monster in the murals on the ground seemed to have fallen into a dormant state for some reason, lying on the ground snoring. A very burly and stalwart person was sitting on his belly. This person's whole body was shrouded in a layer of mysterious mist. Many powerful monsters were pouring in from all directions, but the mysterious man waved his hand and made those monsters vanish into thin air, showing how powerful he was.
The only puzzling thing was that the mysterious man was carrying a very broken and wide linen bag behind his back, which was also stuffed full. This bag completely destroyed the overall majestic and mysterious style.
Fang Senyan was a bit puzzled by the reason. Logically speaking, the craftsmen who could build such a large-scale project would never make such a mistake, so the only explanation was that the builder himself required it to be like this... Thinking of this, Fang Senyan suddenly felt curious about the guy sleeping in front. What kind of extraordinary and refined taste did he have to come up with such a big pile of things?
