After raising his guard, Hao Ren dragged Lily and flew to the lower level of the temple. The thick, cloud-like shadow gradually occupied all their vision.
The black fog slowly surged as if there was a pot of boiling soup below, but there was no strange smell coming from it. Hao Ren grabbed a probe that flew by and read the parameters recorded by the probe to confirm that they had reached the lowest level of the building — the place where it was cut in half.
Logically speaking, after passing through the black fog, they should be directly in the outer space.
"Mr. Landlord … What is this?" Lily felt a little creeped out, so her tail became fluffy. "Why do I feel a little scared?"
Hao Ren instinctively wanted to take out the MDT from his pocket to scan the thing in front of him, but it was empty. He then remembered that the PDA was stuck on the console of the Petrachelys as usual. Although the main control consciousness of the spacecraft was now Nolan, and the MDT could not get any authority on the console by force, the PDA with the problematic thinking core still firmly stuck itself in the slot every time it went out, as if this gave it great psychological comfort.
Hao Ren shook his head and threw the probe he had just caught to the edge of the black fog. Although the computing power of this thing was not as good as the MDT, it was enough as a probe, and it could also upload the data to the analysis host of the Petrachelys for analysis. With the support of the mothership, this thing was actually no worse than the MDT.
Soon the analysis results were transmitted through the data link, and the analysis host concluded that this was a "spatial phenomenon that cannot be accurately described".
"A spatial phenomenon that cannot be accurately described?" This was the first time Hao Ren heard such an ambiguous conclusion from the analysis host of the spacecraft. He immediately asked Nolan for details. "What's going on?"
Nolan replied, "There is a clear separation between the space-time order in the black fog and the outside world. It should be a spatial rift or an unstable spatial warp, but this kind of space-time structure is not in any known database, and it is not a natural phenomenon. At present, there is a lack of space-time parameters on the other side of the rift, so it is impossible to give a complete description of it. "
Hao Ren frowned. He did not like this kind of uncertainty, but unfortunately, there was always such uncertainty in The Plane of Dreams. Lily, on the other hand, did not have as much trouble as Hao Ren. The husky maiden's worldview was simply divided into two parts: bully the weak when you meet someone you can beat, and be a coward when you meet someone you can't beat. No matter what the thing in front of you was, there were only these two choices.
"There's nothing in the material vacuum zone ten thousand light-years away, only this lonely floating temple, and there's even a spatial rift in the temple. Tsk tsk, this doesn't look like anything good." Hao Ren smacked his lips. He was not interested in diving in to observe the details, so he continued to let the probe collect data around the black fog while he pulled Lily away from the wall and began to study the exquisite and complicated reliefs on the surrounding walls.
These reliefs were made by the mortal race. Like most religious murals, they depicted ancient heroes, warriors, and a large number of indescribable monsters and monsters. Not only were there scenes of war with monsters, but there were also scenes of sacred and peaceful paradise. The content of the murals was clearly good and evil, and it was easy to tell at a glance which side represented the force of the builder of the temple. From the appearance of the warriors, it was easy to see that they were a race extremely similar to humans, and there were also some humanoid species that were slightly different from humans on Earth.
Hao Ren's eyes slowly moved between these exquisite and ancient reliefs, trying to find the image of the gods and the part that described the relationship between humans and gods. He was basically sure that this temple was dedicated to the Goddess of Creation, and based on the way the religious murals depicted the gods, as a half-baked cleric, he could still analyze some things about ideology, civilization level, and so on.
Lily followed behind Hao Ren with a serious look on her face for a long time. Finally, she decided to knock a brick off the nearby stone wall. Her treasure had not been added for a long time.
But as soon as the husky maiden took out her flamejoy, Hao Ren noticed her intention. The latter slapped her hand away and said, "Don't mess around. This is an important ruin, understand? What if you ruin the clue?"
Lily stuck out her tongue, but soon her eyes widened when she saw the murals behind Hao Ren. "Mr. Landlord! That thing is moving! "
At first, Hao Ren thought that the husky maiden was joking with him. But soon he realized that the husky maiden's expression was absolutely sincere. He immediately turned his head and saw that under the flickering light of the flamejoy, the reliefs on the inner wall of the temple were slowly moving!
It was like pressing the play button on a movie that had been stopped. The characters on the mural moved in the light of the fire, the warriors swung their swords, the monsters raised their heads, and the plants carved on the stones swayed slowly. Everything came to life!
Lily thought for a moment. If it was a group of monsters, she might be able to beat them because she had brute force. But this was something in the realm of mystery. She knew nothing about the world of magic. So, the husky decisively chose to hide behind Hao Ren. "Mr. Landlord! Mr. Landlord, there's something wrong with this place. Ouch! Let Battie and Y 'zaks come and save the day! "
"Don't be silly. You've just seen a few slides. Why are you so scared?" Hao Ren turned his head and glared at Lily. Then he went up to carefully observe the moving murals.
Ordinary people might feel weird when they saw this thing, but Hao Ren had seen a lot of things, and he was no longer surprised by this kind of thing.
At first, the changes in the murals were very weak. The murals were only moving in a very small range. Under the flickering light of the flamejoy, it almost looked like an illusion. But as time went on, the movement of these murals became more and more obvious. The most obvious change in the murals was a large relief, which was guarded by some small reliefs. Perhaps it depicted an important chapter in a religious story.
In this picture, a group of brave knights, led by a leader in a white cloak, charged bravely. In front of them was a burning plain, a mountain of corpses, and a sea of blood.
The corpses of humans and monsters were all over the earth. The charging knights seemed to be the last soldiers on the battlefield.
Broken swallowtail flags fluttered in the wind. The knights' swords were chipped, and their armors were stained with blood. The sky was overcast, and there was no trace of light. At the end of the plain, the knights' goal was a huge, indescribable chaotic, distorted thing.
It was like a bloated piece of meat, with all kinds of limbs growing randomly on it. New limbs were constantly growing out of the flesh, while the old ones were being swallowed up again. This disgusting thing rolled at the end of the earth. It was more sensational than any of the monsters in the fairy tales. Even the ugly First Born and the brain monster were cuter than this thing.
And the remaining brave soldiers were charging at this indescribable monster.
Boom!
The clouds on the mural suddenly split, and a bolt of lightning broke through the dark clouds. However, at this moment, Hao Ren seemed to hear the thunder in his ears: he heard the thunder in the vacuum of the universe!
The lightning lit up the earth and instantly dispelled the haze on the battlefield. The brave knights, under the illumination of the lightning, rushed toward the undefeatable enemy. They seemed to be shrouded in holy light. Behind the clouds that were broken by the lightning, a huge, crystal clear mountain emerged. Although it was just a mural carved on a rock, it still showed an incredible crystalline texture!
Hao Ren was completely captivated by the scene. He could not help but stretch out his hand, wanting to test the authenticity of the mural. He wanted to see if he could touch the light and the crystal mountain behind it.
The edge of his right palm slowly pressed against the mural. There was still a red "scar" on his palm. It was the "sacred mark" left behind when he came into contact with the Goddess's blood. The Goddess's blood had already soaked into his skin, and it had not faded at all until now.
The stigmata of the goddess's blood touched the mural, and then, as all the stories said, something strange happened.
The scene on the mural collapsed in an instant, and the cracks spread like a spider web. All the reliefs seemed to be unable to withstand some kind of too strong force and fell off the stone wall almost in the blink of an eye. At the same time, the "black fog" at the bottom of the building suddenly seemed to wake up and began to surge faster. If there was a pot of boiling water under the black fog before, now … even the black fog was boiling!
Lily, with her Beast Instinct, almost immediately felt that something was wrong behind her. She immediately pulled Hao Ren's arm. At this time, Hao Ren also saw the boiling and surging black fog. He broke into a cold sweat and turned to run. But it was still like all the stories said —
The black fog swallowed them up.
