Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Picture Scroll of the Burial Hall
After entering the underground area through the doorway, Crane and Alger had no natural light in front of them, and the top of the place was fairly intact, lacking a breach that prevented the crimson moonlight from penetrating the mist.
Alger then raised the lantern in his hand a little, tinting the spacious but endless corridor in front of him with a noticeable dimness.
At a glance, Klein found at least six stone statues, male and female, all gray and white, and even the clothes seemed to be carved.
These stone statues contain elves, giants, and ancient humans, all of whom bear no resemblance except for pain and despair on their expressions.
Watching them without turning their eyes, and thinking that they could have been living beings once and could have been, Crane shivered down his spine, feeling that in the depths of the tunnel, the place where darkness reigned, there seemed to be a terrifying monster opening its mouth, waiting for the two of them to take the initiative to enter its belly.
Restrained from their fluctuating emotions, Crane and Alger neither spoke, but passed through the gray-and-white stone statues with distorted faces, moving forward step by step.
After walking for more than ten seconds, because of the light of the horse lantern, Crane could see the broken, bleak murals on the walls on both sides without the help of the night vision ability of the "resentful spirit" Seignor.
There are a few of them that are relatively intact enough to make out what is depicted, and their subjects are undoubtedly the huge cross covered with layers of light and the majestic figure standing in front of the cross.
The vague and solemn figure either faced the flood that had submerged the city-state and flooded the mountainside, or stepped on the divided earth, or looked up at the starry sky above, and met one evil and crazy eye after another in the deep darkness.
When the end comes, the image of the ancient sun god saving the world? This is similar to the mural they found in the temple of the "true creator" of the little "sun"...... Or, this is you copying me, I copying you, everyone has not given up the efforts they have relied on in the past, anyway, they have to emphasize that they were once the savior and the most worthy of faith...... Klein's gaze moved quickly over the wall, and he slowly entered the depths of the corridor.
Alger was also observing the broken frescoes, and suddenly, in a suppressed voice, he spoke in a low voice:
"I suspect that the 'real,' 'fallen Creator' has references to these in his description of himself. ”
Sure enough, everyone's opinion was unanimous...... Klein let the "Death Knell" revolver hang diagonally and smiled:
"I wouldn't be surprised if I saw something related to the 'True Creator' in front of me. ”
"There's probably some connection between him and the Creator of the Silver City faith. Alger agreed with Gelman Sparrow's judgment.
The two of them continued to move forward, trying to slow their steps, but there were still some echoes around them, and in an atmosphere of extreme silence, they swung into the distance.
At this moment, Klein had an idea, and immediately took two steps forward, blocking in front of Alger, obscuring most of the lantern light.
Less than two seconds later, he heard a dull sound coming from far and near.
Knock! Knock!
The ground trembled slightly, becoming more and more obvious, and then, Crane saw a figure nearly four meters tall walking out in front of him.
It is also grayish-white in color, with carapace-like patterns carved on its surface, a goat's pointed horns on its head, and a mouth like a hunting dog, with fangs exposed between the half-open and half-closed.
And its most striking thing is its burning red eyes and six pairs of gray-white covered wings.
Knock! Knock!
The monster held a stone halberd of seven or eight meters and slowly entered the corridor, and with every step it took, it could make the earth shake and transmit the heavy feeling to all around.
Klein hadn't seen the real thing before, but he could tell what it was at a glance.
It's a serapus gargoyle!
Its core crystallization is one of the main materials of the Master of Secret Puppets, and the extraordinary abilities it possesses must be extremely specific and difficult to guard against!
And judging from its appearance and construction materials, it must also have a strong ability to fight head-on, and it is not afraid of most damage...... It only takes a sliding step to crash through it and smash a heavy stone halberd to inflict terrifying damage...... Klein's left hand relaxed, not rushing to react.
He and Alger stayed where they were at the same time, one with their bodies and the other with their clothes, obscuring the light of the lantern very faintly.
Knock! Knock!
The six-winged gargoyle didn't look at where the two of them were, and crossed the corridor sideways, the footsteps fading away.
Sure enough, its senses are not strong...... It's no wonder that Zilingers was able to go deep into the earth and return smoothly...... Crane waited until the footsteps were barely noticeable before moving forward again, crossing the crossroads.
In fact, with his current strength and equipment, with his understanding of the target, it is not too dangerous to kill a six-winged gargoyle, and there is also a "hanged man" who can help, the reason why he gave up the plan to attack is that he does not know how many six-winged gargoyles there are in this underground area, once the battle is fought, if the movement is large, maybe it will be surrounded, in that case, he can only rely on "travel" to forcibly escape, and if it alarms the existence of the nearby transcendent creatures who dare not approach this ruin, the trouble will increase exponentially.
Controlling one's greed is one of the prerequisites for adventurous exploration.
Alger was also quite pleased with the mad adventurer's calm and rational performance, and became more and more suspicious that the other party was shouldering some orders from Mr. "Fool", so he restrained the urge to attack the six-winged gargoyle.
The calmer he behaves, the crazier he is bound to be when he encounters a real target...... Alger's thought flashed and he followed Gelman Sparrow through the crossroads and straight ahead.
The frescoes on both sides are still dilapidated, and they still occasionally tell the greatness and sacredness of the ancient sun god.
Finally, Crane and Alger reached the end of the corridor, where there was a stone door seven or eight meters high, painted with various symbols related to death, sleep, end, new life, and beginning.
"A tomb?" Crane said, turning to Alger.
Alger nodded and said:
"Or maybe a temple. ”
Apparently, he also doubted that the temple and the tomb were united.
The gray-white stone door in front of the two of them was not completely closed, revealing a gap that could be passed by children, Alger glanced at his body, took the initiative to walk over, put down the lantern in his hand, plugged in the short blade, and pressed his hands on the side of the door.
He inhaled slowly, his knees bent down, and the muscles of his arms swelled abruptly.
Silently, the gap became much wider.
Seeing this scene, Klein raised his brow slightly, quite surprised, because the "upside-down hangman" pushed the door without making a sound.
He did not doubt the power of a "sea singer", but he did not think that the open stone door had no contact with the ground.
Looking down, Crane saw a puddle of thicker liquid in the crack at the bottom of the door.
Quietly made a lubrication effect...... Mr. "Hanging Man" is very meticulous...... Is this the ability of the "navigator" or the "ocean singer"? Well, he should still be able to use the ability of the "wind bearer" to create an "air cushion", so the "opening the door" just now is silent...... Klein roughly understood why.
He leaned close to the stone door, not rushing in, and looked inside through the wide gap.
What catches the eye of the "resentful spirit" is the side area, where a row of gray-white sarcophagi is placed.
Sure enough, it's an underground burial hall...... It is not known if there is a hybrid temple...... Crane thought as he pulled out "Lemanor's Travel Notes" with his left hand, which contained extraordinary abilities suitable for dealing with things related to the realm of death.
At the same time, he quickly created a spiritual wall with a silver dagger, sealing off the iron cigarette case so that the bronze Azk whistle inside would cause the sleeping dead to rise one by one.
Alger also drew the short blade again, covering his left palm at the side and sliding forward.
There was a slight crackling sound, and the short blade was wrapped around the silver-white electric snake with fangs and claws.
The two quickly made the corresponding preparations, and Klein, who played the role of the mad adventurer Gelman Sparrow, entered the burial hall through the crack in the door.
Of course, before he entered, the "resentful spirit" Seigor had already made a small half circle in the burial hall as a "sentinel".
For the "Master of Secret Puppets", with the Secret Puppet, there is no need to take risks in many things!
The burial hall is divided into two parts, left and right, each with twelve gray-white dull sarcophagi, and an empty circular area in the center, which seems to have a delicate and complex picture on the ground.
Crane didn't get closer, and raised his hand to stop Alger, and then manipulated Segnor "The Wraith" to manifest himself and quickly float into the air of the circle.
"Blood Admiral" ...... The muscles of Alger's face twitched.
Although he had already guessed about this, it was still difficult to control his knee-jerk reaction when he saw it with his own eyes.
At this point, Señol lowered his altitude and could see clearly what was depicted on the ground in the central area:
The picture is dark, with shadowy shadows in the background, and a long table in the main body.
On the long table lay a figure carrying a glorious cross, surrounded by three shadowy men.
One of them was handsome and vigorous, the other was majestic and heroic, and the other had a long white beard, and they seemed very wise, but all three pairs of eyes were full of indescribable evil, and their behavior was the same:
One of them tore off the figure's arm and stuffed it into his mouth, biting his mouth full of blood, one holding his head and sucking his brain, and the other digging out his beating heart and gnawing hungrily.
Opposite them, the figure's chest and abdomen, with a long and wide cleft, sat a grim baby, who was chewing on a piece of intestines, blood dripping down his face.
The four seemed to sense that someone was prying eyes, and their eyes looked upwards at the same time, as if they were watching every living creature who saw this scroll!
