Chapter 636 Lower Seal
Ye Tingbai: "I lost half of my shadow. Was it you or those things below?"
Su Rongxue asked in surprise: "You only lost half of it?
In this space, no creature is allowed to have a shadow. It's really surprising that you only lost half of it, but it has nothing to do with me. I wish you could leave here."
Ye Tingbai thought about it and it was true. Su Rongxue didn't want to die. He mistakenly thought Ye Tingbai was a killer from the foundation. Why would he want to trap him here? I guess the loss of shadow is the characteristic of this space.
Under the ground, demons were dancing wildly. There seemed to be another space below, but that layer of space was covered by black shadows and nothing could be seen. The arms of those monsters stretched out from these black shadows.
Ye Tingbai: "I'm going to go down and take a look. Will you go with me?
Aren't you bored after so many years?"
Su Rongxue rolled her eyes and thought that she was indeed bored for so many years, so she agreed. The most important thing was that she was not sure whether her "children" could block those ghosts below.
Ye Tingbai picked up Su Rongxue and jumped down, and the big fool followed him.
With his right fist, the black shadow was torn apart instantly, and there was actually a layer of space below. At the moment when the black shadow was torn apart, the arms of those monsters were all broken.
The three of them fell more than 30 meters on the original ground before they stopped completely, and the broken arms that fell with him were also like raindrops.
Ye Tingbai: "I felt it before. That black shadow seemed like a space barrier that could pass my hand through another space."
Su Rongxue: "Then how did you make that black shadow disappear?
I controlled it to protect me for many years, and no one has ever opened it from the outside."
Ye Tingbai: "It's not a difficult thing. Just poke it. The arms of the monsters that were violently pierced were directly cut off. That is, there are still a lot of monsters hiding in a certain space behind the black shadow."
Ye Tingbai looked at the black arms all over the ground with some fear. These arms gave him a very evil feeling. The feeling on this thing is not comparable to ordinary pollution. If you have to say it, one is nuclear radiation wastewater, and the other is nuclear radiation wastewater thrown into the sea.
Both are harmful, but there is a world of difference.
Ye Tingbai stretched out his hand and summoned a ball of fire. The fire could only illuminate the area around it about ten centimeters. The light of the flashlight would disappear as soon as it was shot out. This place seemed to be able to swallow all the light.
Ye Tingbai sniffed and smelled some smoke. In this dark space, this smell was the only thing that could guide him.
Ye Tingbai casually conjured up a rope and handed it to Su Rongxue, asking her to follow closely. He asked Su Rongxue to follow him, on the one hand to protect her, and on the other hand to prevent her from running away.
Ye Tingbai walked underground for a long time with Su Rongxue, just like leading a prisoner.
There was always a circle of burning flames around Ye Tingbai's body that never went out. Although they couldn't see far away, they could see clearly under their feet. In this place, they saw many withered trees and some abandoned primitive bronze tools.
No matter how you look at it, this place doesn't look like a normal human world, but like the ancient times of the First Era, because since the Second Era, human society has been excessively interfered with by local gods. Too primitive society is not suitable for human reproduction, with low fertility and high mortality, which is not good for local gods who need population.
Later, when humans became extinct and civilization was rebuilt again, there would be almost no stage of eating raw meat and drinking blood.
Finally, after passing three small hills, they saw a plain. It was not because of the light, but because there were burning flames everywhere on the plain. And it was not red flames, but black, dark, flickering black flames.
Undoubtedly, not all flames will turn black here. The one in Ye Tingbai's hand is normal, while the flames on the plain in the distance are pure black. And because of these black flames, they saw many things.
For example, the broken tents, the destroyed houses, and the dead bodies, a large number of dead bodies.
This is the scene of the tribe seen in Kadu's spiritual world. This tribe is obviously destroyed now. In fact, this scene is very positive. It is a tribe that was destroyed and then set on fire. The flames burned the entire tribe.
Then the color of this tribe was reversed, and the fire turned into black light. This is what Ye Tingbai and the others saw now.
Ye Tingbai: "Shadow, what does it represent here?"
Su Rongxue: "It's probably a kind of ability. Every Outer God has his own extreme ability. We have studied several of them.
These shadows may be the highly purified abilities of a certain Outer God."
Ye Tingbai: "You actually know all this?"
Su Rongxue was amused by Ye Tingbai: "What's that look in your eyes? I was once a member of the Foundation. Do you really think I'm an ordinary aunt?"
Ye Tingbai almost forgot about this. The Foundation should know a lot of things. If so, the evil feeling on those black arms is indeed a bit similar to the Outer God flesh and blood he saw underground.
Ye Tingbai: "If so, this thing they call plague, could it be the original pollution?"
Su Rongxue: "It's not impossible. In fact, the pollution in our world now is all caused by the mixing of various foreign gods' powers. It's a mess, so the pollutants are distorted in various ways.
If it is polluted by a single force, the pollutants should be almost the same in form."
Ye Tingbai: "Such an important thing, why have I never heard of it!"
Su Rongxue chuckled and asked back: "Is this thing important? This is just a special case. It almost never happens now."
This world is a big dye vat. Various pigments are mixed together. It is difficult to return to the way it used to be. This is what the immortal in the Carving Institute has been doing. He relies on those humans who have been carved to attract a kind of foreign god's power and finally crystallize it.
For that dye vat, those humans are a filter, constantly filtering and purifying a kind of power from it. In this way, a single foreign god's power may be able to stably pollute humans into some kind of monster.
Just like those plague monsters with black bodies and thick muscles in the upper body.
Ye Tingbai: "They won't just seal this space, right? This is not a fun thing. What kind of power does that require?
I can't do it now."
Su Rongxue: "If you really think that this plague is the source of pollution, the only way to completely seal it is to seal the entire space."
A drop of ink fell into the water. It is impossible to suck out the ink alone. The simplest way is to find a container to scoop out the contaminated water as quickly as possible.
Thinking in this way, sealing a space is indeed the only way to solve the source of pollution.
This drop of ink is like the first step of cancer. It has not spread or metastasized yet. People at that time chose the most perfect and appropriate way to solve it, that is, to completely remove this contaminated space and then seal it.
It was just to seal the people here. In the end, they didn't expect that many such drops of ink would appear in the world later. This method is no longer helpful.
Ye Tingbai: "Let's go in and take a look."
The two entered the burning tribe. This place was completely frozen in time. No matter how the flames burned, they would not change the shape of this place. Even if the flames did not cause any damage, this place would be weathered over the years.
"What on earth is this black flame? Damn, it hurts!"
Ye Tingbai tried to touch the black flames with his fingertips, and he felt a piercing pain, which was heart-wrenching.
Subpersonality: "The soul is burned, and even the connection between us has been affected to a certain extent."
Ye Tingbai: "Do you still understand the soul now?"
Subpersonality: "When you were unconscious, you learned some useful things from Chunxia. This thing seems to only burn the soul. I wanted to say before that those shadows were sucked into your right hand, just like the feeling when you absorb the soul."
When Ye Tingbai heard this, he immediately stretched out his right hand and tried to touch it again. The flames were like meeting a vacuum cleaner, and they were constantly sucked into Ye Tingbai's right hand. Under this scorching, his right hand not only did not hurt, but felt unusually comfortable.
These flames caused a slight change in the color of Ye Tingbai's right hand. The most important thing was that it caused a transitional stage in the crystallized part of Ye Tingbai's right hand. Originally, Ye Tingbai's right arm would stop abruptly at about two-thirds of the forearm and become a normal hand.
Now this abrupt stop has changed, becoming an area of slow transition from crystallization to normal flesh. It is this simple change that greatly improves the fit between Ye Tingbai's right hand and the whole body.
Originally, his right hand was like a prosthesis, and it was a very heavy prosthesis. He was always worried that his right hand would break near the dividing line, but now the prosthesis has returned to his body again.
The flames gradually weakened, and his right hand gradually could not feel any temperature. Then the tent in front of him instantly turned into ashes, and finally even the ashes disappeared completely.
These flames were not burning the tribe, but protecting it. It was the existence of these flames that made this place freeze.
Su Rongxue: "Hey, stop studying your flames. There's a cave over there. Let's go in and take a look. In this kind of tribe, the things in the cave are usually very important."
Ye Tingbai: "Don't you have any awareness that you're going to die?"
Su Rongxue was so calm that Ye Tingbai couldn't help but want to tease her. She treated Ye Tingbai as a killer, but she didn't have any awareness of being killed.
Su Rongxue: "Early or late, it's all death. Don't you want to come and see?"
Su Rongxue walked into the cave first, and Ye Tingbai had to follow her in. There was no flame in the cave, and it was very clean, with very obvious signs of artificial excavation inside.
Ye Tingbai: "This place is so well cleaned, the ground is flat, and there is no dust at all, why don't people live here?"
Su Rongxue: "Maybe it's for worship. Generally, tribes like this have beliefs, and the place of worship is the most important place, so naturally people can't live here."
Ye Tingbai just asked casually, and didn't expect Su Rongxue to answer so carefully, but it was a bit too detailed. She asked and answered as if she knew everything here so clearly, and it always felt like she was deliberately guiding Ye Tingbai.
There was nothing new in the cave. They walked to the end in just a few steps. At the end of the cave was a stone platform with a naked woman sitting on it. The woman was covered with black grease. The thick layer of grease solidified on the woman's body.
Ye Tingbai approached and smelled it. It should be animal fat, obtained after the fat was refined.
"What is this?"
Su Rongxue: "Sacrificial objects. At that time, each tribe would have a saint, of course, who was selected. Some places also called them witches.
They believed that only these people could contact the will of heaven. Under normal circumstances, it was nothing. The saint lived more comfortably than most people, using the best things and eating the best.
But once a natural disaster occurred in the tribe, things would be completely different. The saint would be sacrificed to heaven to appease the wrath of heaven and seek a solution."
Ye Tingbai stretched out his hand to turn the woman around. He couldn't see her face with his back to her, but Su Rongxue held his hand.
"Are you really ready to see?"
Ye Tingbai: "I've been thinking you're weird. Why do you know so many things? Who are you?"
Su Rongxue: "Take a look at her first~"
Ye Tingbai glanced at Su Rongxue and turned the body in his hand over. The sacrificed person covered with black grease was actually Su Rongxue herself.
Although the body was a little thin, it was pretty much the same. The whole body was covered with black grease, except for the face.
Su Rongxue's hand also came up, and her fingertips lightly stroked the black oil: "Do you know why this layer of grease is applied?
Because these greases are flammable and can burn for a long time, enough to ignite the body's own fat, enough to turn this body into charcoal, can you understand my feeling?"
Ye Tingbai: "What's going on with you? I'm running out of patience!"
Su Rongxue: "Oh, you're running out of patience so quickly. Didn't you come to me for an answer? Now I'm here to give you an answer, why are you impatient?"
Hearing this, Ye Tingbai was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. He had only asked questions to Yi Mo, and Yi Mo represented the rules of an Outer God.
Then Su Rongxue, who said this, was most likely an Outer God, but Ye Tingbai didn't know when Su Rongxue was replaced.
