"Hill! Don't look back, keep running!"
Unexpectedly, the brown-clothed man in the front gritted his teeth, as if he had made a difficult decision, and shouted in an extremely stern and unyielding tone:
"If you stop, you'll die!"
"what……"
The orange-haired girl paused and looked at the captain who was running in the front, but she only saw the extremely complicated and pleading gaze of the brown-clothed man.
"it is good……"
She pursed her lips, made up her mind, left the young man who had fallen to the ground, and continued to run forward with all her strength.
"Captain! Hill! Don't abandon me! Help, ah ah ah help! Please..."
"Oh!"
A wet, sticky sound, like something sticky bursting, completely cut off the young man's desperate cry with a hint of hatred.
Then, the corpse-like silence returned, as if nothing had happened.
"Almost there! Hill, hold on a little longer, we're almost there!"
At this moment, the man in brown gave a cheer full of encouragement and rushed forward with all his strength.
"call!"
He was like a charging chariot, crashing through a cluster of dense bushes, and the view in front of him suddenly opened up.
What lay ahead was no longer the monotonous, unchanging gray and white deformed forest, but a vast open space!
But after they saw the situation above the open space, their expressions froze at the same time.
Tents made of animal skins, makeshift wooden workbenches, crackling campfires, and shelves for placing objects were laid out in an orderly manner on the open space.
As you can imagine, this is a fairly large camp.
But now, whether it was the tent, the workbench, or the wooden rack, they were all tilted and in a mess.
Messy fragments were scattered everywhere, as if they had been trampled by a giant.
In the ruins of the camp, there were broken corpses scattered all over the place, and their hideous and horrific deaths were horrifying.
"Ho..."
Several demonic monsters let out terrifying low roars, and on the ruins... they wantonly bit and devoured the bodies and limbs that were once human beings, and blood and flesh fell like raindrops.
"Evil ghost...how could...we..."
The orange-haired girl's face turned pale in an instant, and her running movements suddenly slowed down a lot.
"Don't stop! Cheer up!"
A loud roar brought her back from her extreme fear. The man in brown who was running in front of her turned his head, his eyes flashing with uncontrollable shock and fear.
But his expression remained firm and calm, as if he were an always reliable leader.
"Captain, we are now..."
The orange-haired girl's mind was in a mess at this moment. Extreme fatigue, fear and shock made it difficult for her to think. She could only stare blankly at the brown-clothed man, at a loss:
"What should we do now... Ugh!"
She had only said half of her words when she saw the brown-clothed man's expression suddenly change.
As if he had seen something extremely dangerous, his eyes widened as if he wanted to shout something.
But before she could hear the other party's shout, a dark shadow suddenly attacked from the side of her vision!
"boom--"
The orange-haired girl only felt her whole body tremble, and then the world was spinning. She lost her sense of direction and space, and her eyes were filled with chaotic colors and light.
"Oh!"
When she came to her senses, she found that she had fallen on her back on the ground without knowing when. Everything in front of her eyes was dark, as if her vision was blocked by something huge.
"Well……"
She instinctively tried to sit up, but was shocked to find that her hands were completely unable to move.
There was a burning pain in my wrist, as if something hard and powerful... clamped my hands and pressed them to the ground.
“Ahem… Ugh… It hurts…”
Enduring the severe pain spreading from her wrist, she tried her best to open her eyelids to restore her vision.
A huge, dark goat's head occupied most of the field of vision.
Thick gray-black smoke billowed in its gaping bloody mouth. Its huge scarlet eyes flashed with bloodlust, hunger, and frenzy, staring at him ferociously.
Two broad, rough, hoof-like upper limbs clamped his hands and pressed them to the ground with absolutely irresistible force. The sharp, inward-curved claws dug deeply into his delicate flesh, causing blood to gush out.
"!"
Her thoughts froze in an instant, and her mind went blank.
"what……"
The last scene before my eyes was the huge mouth filled with thick gray-black smoke that suddenly enlarged, and the minced meat and blood stuck on the slender fangs and the flat and blunt back teeth were clearly visible.
======================
A little late, sorry.
Chapter 267: The Seal's Loophole
There will be three updates today, and the remaining two chapters will be updated around 20:00 and 22:00.
=========================
"What's going on here...?"
Looking at the mirror surface that was originally covered with black and red light, an endless gray-white forest and lead-black clouds suddenly emerged, and Qi Ji was a little confused for a moment.
If you want to know why the Reed Mormon Mirror has changed like this, you have to go back one minute.
The moment her perception penetrated deep into the seal and lifted the last layer of fog, she "saw" the entire picture of the mysterious and powerful sealed object.
It was a huge...
Tentacle monster?
Countless gray-black tentacles grew together from the roots, forming a restless vortex that danced and squirmed wildly without stopping, emitting a crazy aura that was so rich that it almost condensed into substance.
Dense and complex patterns crowded on the surface of each tentacle, and scarlet blood-red light flowed and shone through it, making people dizzy and frightened.
At first glance, it looked very much like the monster that Bona, the top magician, mutated into when he failed to become a smelter above the Twilight Sea.
But whether it was the size, the number of tentacles, the brightness of the scarlet patterns, or the crazy aura it exuded, they were all orders of magnitude beyond the out-of-control Bona.
The latter is as weak as an ant in front of the former. If it is even slightly contaminated by the residual power of the former's aura, it will collapse and be destroyed in an instant.
And more importantly, the gray-black tentacle monster sealed in the Reed Mormon Mirror... possesses divinity!
So far, among the strong people that Qi Ji has seen with his own eyes, the highest level of realm is the fourth level.
A rough estimate shows that:
Victor, a metallurgist from the "Earth" field and a super-powerful man from the Super Management Bureau.
Bona, the out-of-control metallurgist in the "Moon" realm and the founder of the Church of Life.
The saint of the "Chaos" realm, Fasti, the "Saint of Secrets".
Roman, a metallurgist from the field of "Chaos" and president of the Imperial National University.
The black-armored man who was suspected to be the magic fighter of Moon Valley, although his data on paper was just a magic fighter of "psychic warrior" and "magician", but for some reason he was able to compete with the out-of-control Bona in a short period of time -
The "trump card" and "little secret" of Nancy, the captain of the Sunset Harbor Enforcer Team.
And at the end of the Dusk Sea battle, three mysterious men in black with cold temperaments appeared from the north of the sea level.
All three of them are metallurgists from the "Moon" field!
These characters are all top-notch warriors who have long surpassed the category of "human" and become extraordinary creatures with long lifespans and tyrannical strength.
It is a great existence that can be compared with the creatures of the mythological era such as dragons and the original giants.
Moreover, they can all change their own life state and transform into another more powerful form to exist in the world - for example, Victor can transform into countless vines.
This special form is called "mythical form".
But it is only short-term after all and cannot be maintained forever, and it requires a considerable amount of energy.
In other words, the powerful beings in the fourth realm are essentially "creatures with the ability to unfold mythical forms" - without exception, they all lack true divinity.
It is just that through extremely advanced spiritual means, it can simulate the great power that is closest to "mythology".
However, those with divinity are completely different. The strong ones who possess divinity are no longer "creatures". The essence of life has undergone a fundamental transformation and turned into a true "myth."
For the divine, the "mythic form" is no longer an advanced power that needs to be "maintained", but the essence, its original true appearance.
On the contrary, if they want to show themselves in their original human form, they have to expend their energy to shape their physical bodies and suppress their own powerful aura, lest all the weak ones they pass by die suddenly or mutate.
It is said that in the ancient times before the Sixth Epoch, the divinities of the fifth realm were also called "demigods".
He is a great being who can enjoy independent believers and offerings, and is only one step away from being a true god.
Such a great person can no longer be addressed as "he" or "she", as this is a blasphemy and disrespect to the noble existence.
They are qualified to be addressed as "He" and enjoy the same respect as gods!
——This is the weight of divinity!
The gray-black tentacle monster sealed in the Mirror of Reed Mormon is a divine being with divinity and a complete mythological form!
He is, or was, a demigod at the level of a "miracle worker" or "divine messenger"!
Moreover, the divinity that He contained...Qi Ji recognized it.
That is the power of "The First Authority - Ordinary World", the corresponding holy emblem is "Scarlet Moon", and the corresponding domain is "Moon".
He is of the same origin as the vampire Bernice, the top magician Bona, and the three mysterious men in black. The mysterious evil god "The First Creator" is suspected to be the former holder of this authority!
"Damn, this guy couldn't be some ancient demon king who was defeated and sealed away by a brave warrior, right?"
Qi Ji couldn't help but think of it this way, and the more he thought about it, the more it made sense.
"A long time ago, there was a terrifying and brutal monster that committed all kinds of evil, including burning, killing and looting. Until one day, a brave and fearless hero took up a sword and successfully defeated it, and then sealed it at the cost of his life?
"Then the seal was gradually lost in the long river of history, becoming a legendary artifact, and finally came into Bona's hands... Tsk, it's old-fashioned, but it feels right!"
Qi Ji thought to himself feeling a little funny.
At the same time, her perception swept through the extremely vast sealed space, which seemed like a small world, understanding and analyzing the overall picture of this space and the seal.
Soon, she suddenly realized something and frowned subconsciously:
"Wait, this mirror... isn't a seal?"
She suddenly realized something, that is...
That gray-and-black patterned tentacle monster does not exist inside the Reed Mormon Mirror!
Qi Ji had always thought that this mirror was a container for sealing monsters, but now it seems... that is not the case at all!
The Mirror of Reed Mormon is just a "passageway" leading to the edge of a seal.
After opening the Reed Mormon Mirror with blood, the seal itself was not affected at all, but a small "channel" was opened, allowing the mirror on the other side to observe the situation inside the seal.
As for the seal itself, that is, where the divine monster exists... no one knows, at least Qi Ji is not clear yet.
"No, this mirror is not even a 'channel'. It is just a 'display screen' connected to a 'camera' in the seal..."
The reason why Qi Ji thought so was because she found that she could only use perception to enter the dark vortex on the mirror and reach the space where the divine monster was sealed, but she could not transmit her own power into it.
In other words, there is no channel in the physical sense between the Reed Mormon Mirror and the sealed space. It is just an "optical cable" for transmitting information, and only information and news can pass through.
After opening the Reed Mormon Mirror, the so-called "pollution" that emerged was just a torrent of information from the divine monster.
Just the information that escaped was enough to cause Master Ye Guang to temporarily lose control, which showed how powerful the monster was.
"Tsk, quite interesting... The origin of this thing is very mysterious. It can actually observe a sealed, out-of-control, mutated Miracle Master or Divine Envoy of the Moon Realm?"
Her exploration did not stop. Her perception continued to search through the Redmormon Mirror in the sealed space where she did not know where she was, trying to explore every corner.
