1492 Break

I don’t know where the whining sound came from, but wisps of heat rose from Raymond’s feet. While dispelling the severe cold, it quickly condensed into white mist. In an instant, Raymond’s sight was become blurry. ?. .

He entered the warmth in vain from the extreme cold, and his body that had been on guard before naturally relaxed, and the onset of sleepiness also made him feel comfortable and comfortable, and the sleepiness that seemed to come from the bottom of his heart also made him feel comfortable. I want to fall asleep just like that.

Raymond, whose vision was already blurry, couldn't help but slowly close his eyes. As his body relaxed, a tide of tiredness swept over him, and the softness around him seemed to make him feel like he was in a warm and comfortable down quilt. Within, you can rest peacefully just by falling asleep!

The smile that slowly turned up at the corners of his mouth was like a sign before falling into a dream. Soon, Raymond completely relaxed and entered the dreamland. As his breath gradually became calmer and longer, everything around him changed. It has to be erratic and relaxed...

In the stone stair passage that had regained its tranquility, the spiral stone steps were also gradually changing. The originally solid stone steps became softer, and Raymond, who was leaning against the wall with a smile and fell into a deep sleep, slowly Slowly sinking, his feet actually sank into the stone steps, as if there were soft quicksand beneath him, and the invisible suction force was trying to swallow him up. On the wall behind him, a thin crack suddenly appeared along with the ripples like a corrugated board. As the crack gradually expanded, a pair of pupils inside that seemed to be closed were also revealed, facing the There were inexplicable emotions in the eyes of Raymond's back.

Time seemed to be delayed at this moment, and the entire body below Raymond's knees was swallowed up by the stone steps. Twisting and deformation began to occur. The stone steps began to converge and merge with each other, and the seemingly straight passage walls above and below also became softer. The entire passage was closed due to the creeping and twisting, and finally formed A closed space.

But at that moment, there was a hint of joy in Raymond's eyes as he peered at him from behind. Raymond's right hand, which was slowly swallowed up by the stone steps, touched the surface of the stone steps, and a circle of red light flashed out from his right wrist, making everything in the enclosed space illuminated.

And Raymond, who had a smile on his lips, opened his eyes in vain. The upper body that had not yet fallen into the stone steps suddenly twisted around, and its eyes immediately focused on the gap in the wall. I saw the eyes hidden within them!

The joy in those eyes was replaced by astonishment. But before the gap in the wall closed, the tentacle formed from Raymond's left hand, which was turned around, quickly penetrated into the gap and inserted it into the gap. The gap that was trying to be closed suddenly opened! Hissing cries of pain echoed in the sealed space, and a flash of pain appeared in the pupils of the hidden gaps, followed by an old voice that sounded in Raymond's mind. "Don't, don't, don't hold on..."

Raymond heard this voice. The smile at the corner of his mouth grew wider, and his legs that were stuck in the stone steps swayed slightly before being pulled out, looking into his eyes filled with frustration, and opened his mouth. "Who are you?"

When he opened his mouth, the tentacles holding up the gap in the wall stopped, and Raymond felt that the closing force was not strengthened by this. Only then did I finally feel relieved.

He had noticed before that he had fallen into a strange illusion, but because he did not have a sense of crisis, he became distracted.

So when an inexplicable feeling of tiredness and comfort arose in his heart, he simply relaxed and blocked himself from the outside world. Let the chip take over the control of the body.

After almost giving up his own consciousness, the invisible influence was quickly amplified. After his body's induction was fed back by the chip, he noticed that the Shanzhu bracelet on his wrist was bursting with red light, and he decisively regained control. The body responded appropriately.

And the perception released by him at this time can finally detect everything around him.

The completely sealed space seems to be a spindle-like shape, and it is in the center of it. The material that seems to be stone steps and walls is actually just a thicker membrane, with a mixture of things outside it. A flexible liquid with strands of flexible fibers.

"Cell-like tissue? Could it be that this is the environment we are in now?"

Raymond, who had such doubts in his heart, had already locked the pupils in the gap at this moment, but his expression did not show it. Instead, he stared at the pupils and waited patiently.

The pain in those eyes disappeared, and the old voice sounded directly in Raymond's mind. "The powerful outsider, I am Ariel, a subordinate of Lord Vernal, the great lich..."

As he spoke, the gap in the wall slowly expanded, revealing a wrinkled face.

The expression on the very weathered face is a little strange, not timid or panic, but rather like confusion and confusion, with a little suspicion.

After the gap stabilized, Raymond asked. "Are you the guardian of the soul-sacrifice fruit tree?"

"Guardian? What kind of guardian?" Ariel repeated Raymond's words in a daze, frowning and seemingly unable to understand Ariel for a moment before saying in vain. "I am the soul-sacrifice fruit tree! Why do I need the existence of a guardian? You are not talking about the moths that are entrenched around me, are you?"

Raymond, who was a little surprised when he heard this, said curiously. "Moth?"

"Yes, these guys who are entrenched around me and devour my nutrients! They are greedy and lazy, and they even want to make me fall into a deep sleep forever! These damn maggots, scum..."

Ariel, who seemed to be reminded of bad memories by Raymond's question, began to roar in vain.

Ariel, who started roaring in the Estayan language used by liches, was out of control and his speed became faster and faster.

This situation gave Raymond a headache, because he did not master the Estayan language, so although it could be used for communication and exchange, when the special words in the language were used in large quantities, he could not understand their meaning.

Therefore, after confirming that the old face in front of him was the projection of Ariel, the soul-sacrificing fruit tree, he woke up the girl Becky who was in the picture of the girl by the stream, and wanted her to act as a translator.

But just as the girl Becky condensed her body, Ariel, who seemed to be frightened, let out a strange cry, and then disappeared into the gap in vain, leaving Raymond, who was caught off guard, no time to stop it!

The gap supported by the tentacles became hard as if it had solidified, and the angry pupils that could be seen before also lost their luster as if they had solidified.

It was just that the space that was closed before quietly formed a passage beside Raymond, and there was a weak cold wind flowing out of it.

After listening to the content of Ariel's roar and roar provided by Raymond, the girl Becky laughed.

"This old guy was regarded as a host by those guardians, and almost became an unconscious energy supplier, so it regarded these 'guardians' as termites, and killed all those guardians after waking up..."

Such an explanation made Raymond extremely speechless.

The powerful place called "Guardian" by the Phantom Butterfly Jima is actually a parasite to Ariel, who is most likely the Sacrifice Fruit Tree. It not only takes away its energy but also wants to make it sleep forever.

"Raymond, you said just now that this is the underground of the ruins of the city? And this Ariel claims that it is a subordinate of the lich Vernal?"

"It seems to be so. Uru also said before that this city was created by an extremely powerful lich..."

Recalling the tone of Uru when he told the legend before, Raymond couldn't help but feel moved. "If this Ariel is really a subordinate of the lich who built this city, then it should know the situation back then...")
