Volume 19 Chapter 240 The Beast of the Heart

After bidding farewell to the obviously over-enthusiastic undead, Su Lun finally led me down the hillside in a daze, and then a huge canyon appeared in front of us.

Our location is at the top of the cliffs on both sides of the canyon. The distance between the opposite cliff and us is less than thirty meters. Even if we don't need to fly, I can jump over this width as long as there is a run-up. But just when I was about to take Su Lun over, he said: "Under normal circumstances, we should go around the mountain from there and walk in through the opening of the canyon. But because President Ziri, you have the ability to fly. , so I chose this road. We don’t need to look for the entrance of the canyon now, we just need to go down from here to the entrance of the altar."

I stretched my head and looked at the bottom of the canyon, only to find that it was so dark below that I couldn't see anything. In fact, this canyon is not a canyon between two peaks, but a large crack on the ground. Our current location is already at the foot of the mountain, but the crack is so deep that nothing can be seen from above.

"Be careful and don't move around." After saying something to Su Lun, I picked him up and jumped off the edge of the canyon. Originally, if I were alone, I might choose to step on the protruding rocks on the cliff and jump down layer by layer, but Su Lun's attributes are not enough to withstand such an impact, and it is inconvenient for me to carry someone with me. He had to do a lot of movement, so I had to hold onto him and spread his wings to float down.

Originally, I thought that the speed would not be much slower if we spread our wings and float down, but I didn't expect that there was a strong thermal current blowing upwards in the canyon. As a result, not only could we not go faster, but we almost stopped in the same place in the end. . The situation didn't improve until I narrowed my wings and finally opened them only a little. I estimate that 80% of the magma below is directly exposed to the outside, so the temperature below is very high. After being heated, the air expands and rises, so a strong updraft is formed.

After finally reaching the bottom of the canyon and putting Su Lun down, I sighed: "The environment here is really strange. After running through so many canyons, this is the first time I've been in a situation where I can't even fall off a cliff!"

Su Lun said with a smile: "Actually, this is a special situation here, and there are not many canyons here."

I nodded and then asked: "Where's the altar you mentioned? Isn't it here as soon as you say it?"

Su Lun pointed forward and said, "You glide for a distance when you descended, so you are a little crooked. The entrance to the cave is behind the turn over there, just go there."

Following Su Lun's guidance, we started to move along the valley bottom toward the corner there. There may be an underground river at the bottom of this canyon. It feels like there are pebbles all under your feet, and some of the large rocks you see occasionally have no edges and corners, and they are obviously washed out by water.

Walking along the bottom of the valley for more than fifty meters was the corner. After turning around, we immediately saw the entrance to the huge cave. However, this entrance did not seem to be natural. At least it had been processed by someone, because the entrance not only contained The gate, and there are two sculptures of monsters on both sides.

The appearance of these two monsters is relatively strange even among monsters. If it were not for the fact that they are both erected on stone bases, they might be regarded as naturally formed strange rocks rather than monster sculptures, because these two Nothing looked like earthly creatures, even the strange fish on the seabed didn't look so strange.

"What is this?" I asked Su Lun, looking at the two sculptures.

"Oh, you said this. This is the inner beast."

"Star beast? Which star?"

"The heart of the heart."

"Heart Beast? What a strange name."

Su Lun explained: "According to the legend of this wizard god, the heart beast is actually a kind of monster with no fixed form. The form you see depends on your own mind. People who are mentally healthy and full of good hope will see them. You can see all kinds of cute or beautiful images. If a person with a dark psychology sees them, he will see a ghastly and terrifying shape. In short, their shape is different from your psychological state, so they are called mind beasts, which means Reflect your inner monster.”

"Then have you ever seen this kind of inner beast?"

Su Lun nodded and said, "I've seen it."

"What did you see?"

After I asked, Su Lun hesitated for a while, and then said with some embarrassment: "I saw an old woman who looked very old."

"Huh? How did you see this?" To be honest, I was really surprised to hear what Su Lun saw. I thought he would see a beautiful woman or something, but I didn't expect it to be an old woman.

Su Lun said helplessly: "I don't know why I saw the image of the old woman, I just saw it anyway. Although the heart beast can reflect people's hearts, it will not answer your questions, so even if you can see through it In your own heart, you can only understand and figure out the meaning."

I nodded and said, "Isn't the inner beast you're talking about inside?"

Su Lun said: "Yes, there is a heart beast inside, and there is more than one. But you don't have to worry. The heart beasts are neutral creatures. As long as you don't take the initiative to attack, they won't do anything to you. Of course, with the Purple Sun Society Given your strength, even if you do something, they will definitely not be your opponent."

"Then let's go in." I said and was about to walk in. Unexpectedly, Su Lun pulled me back as soon as I took a step forward.

"Wait a minute. Although the heart beast in the cave will not actively attack people, there are very nasty black bugs in there that like to bite people. Although the amount of blood sucked each time is not large, there are too many of them. It will be very troublesome if we don’t take some protection.”

"Protection?"

Su Lun directly handed me a bottle, then he took out another one, pulled out the stopper and poured the liquid inside over his head. After pouring the liquid, he wiped it all over his body like taking a bath, and finally stopped after confirming that the liquid was all over his body. When he looked up and found that I was still standing there, he immediately asked: "Why don't you wipe it? Come on, pour that on your body, and then wipe it all over your body."

"What is this?" I asked as I opened the bottle and looked at the light green solution inside.

"This is a juice squeezed out of a vine plant. It is sold everywhere in our city. It can repel insects at ordinary times and can also be used as a hemostatic agent at critical moments. If there is a wound on the body, just Apply this, and as long as it's not bleeding from a large artery or something like that, you can stop the bleeding in ten seconds."

I heard that it was just plant juice, so I smelled it with my nose. The smell was not very good, and it was a bit irritating to my nose. As soon as I smelled it, I knew it was a plant, because the sour smell of the plant was very obvious. Although the dragon suit on me is not afraid of insect bites, I still wiped myself down to save trouble. According to Su Lun, no bugs will dare to come near me for at least twelve hours after applying this thing, because the plants that produce this juice are carnivorous plants that specialize in eating bugs.

I regretted hearing Su Lun's explanation. If I had known that I should have come to Vietnam first before going to the United States, I would have saved a lot of trouble by bringing a few bottles of this stuff with me.

After applying the juice, I followed Su Lun into the cave. Judging from the structure inside the cave, this is obviously a natural cave. After all, the cave is not covered with artificial objects such as stone bricks like the entrance, and the original form of the cave is still retained. However, although the cave is not paved with bricks, it has also been artificially repaired. First of all, the ground is basically flat. There are traces of polishing in many places. There are steps in some places with large drops. Moreover, there is a hanging brazier at intervals on the top of the entire cave. Although it is not mentioned It's brightly lit, at least it's not too dark.

I don’t know if it’s because of the juice, but we didn’t see any of the bugs Su Lun mentioned along the way. Because all the side roads in the passage except the main road are too small for normal people to pass, there is no need to worry about getting lost here. Moreover, there are fire pits throughout the passage, which in addition to lighting can also guide people on the correct route.

"It's strange. We've been two or three kilometers since we came in, right? Why haven't we seen the inner beast you mentioned yet?"

"President Ziri, do you want to see the inner beast? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Su Lun said as if he had just come to his senses.

I looked at him in surprise and asked, "What do you mean?"

Su Lun looked at and took out things from his body and said: "The Heart Beast doesn't usually come out on the main road. It's just luck. However, there are indeed tourists who want to see the Heart Beast, so those of us who are guides will do some research. I figured out a way to attract the inner beast."

"Why do the beasts sound like animals in a wild zoo? If you want to see them, you have to attract them with food."

When Su Lun heard what I said, he smiled and said: "Actually, it's almost the same, except that compared to wild animals, the fighting power of the inner beast is more powerful." Su Lun said as he 'touched' out a small box from his body. Then I saw him open the box, pull out a rope, pull it gently and then let go. After the rope was let go, it began to slowly roll back on its own, and at the same time, the box also emitted a burst of special music. This sound sounds like the sound of a music box, but the difference is that the sound produced by this thing has a wider range and more tones.

As the short song finished playing, Su Lun suddenly pointed at the wall in one direction and shouted: "Look over there, it's coming out."

Following Su Lun's guidance, I immediately discovered smoke coming out of a small hole in the wall not far ahead, but soon after all the smoke was sprayed out, I didn't see the inner beast.

"Didn't you say it was there? Why did it just emit a burst of smoke and then disappear?"

"The smoke is the inner beast."

"Ah? Could it be that my mind is just a ball of smoke?" I asked in surprise.

Su Lun smiled and said: "No. That ball of smoke is the basic form of the inner beast. In this state, they have no entity. After a while, it will come over and observe you out of curiosity. At this time, you only need to deal with it. If you look at it, it will become the shape in your mind."

"So you have to look at each other to transform? I thought it would be the image in my mind when I first saw it."

"It's not that exaggerated. The Heart Beast is just an intermediate monster, not an advanced creature."

As Su Lun was talking, the inner beast had already floated in front of us, and sure enough, just as Su Lun said, it slowly circled around us, then stopped in front of me and transformed into a and I have the same face. Of course, this face is only the outline of my face and has no entity. It is still a light blue smoke-like thing.

The face quickly came up to me, and his eyes quickly met mine. The moment our eyes met, the blue smoke suddenly erupted into a dazzling light, and then the entire cave instantly turned white. Even Su Lun next to him screamed and protected his eyes. .

Unlike Su Lun, my Shenlong suit comes with a mask and color-changing goggles, so when the light exceeds the limit of my eyes, my mask automatically lowers itself, and the crystal goggles quickly turn black. Filters out excess light. However, precisely because the goggles filtered out excess light, I was able to see the changes in the inner beast throughout the process. Now I am looking at the inner beast in front of me in shock, because it has turned into a sun.

That's right. The inner beast turned into a huge burning fireball, almost touching the top of the cave and the ground, and it seemed that if it weren't for the limitations of the cave, it would become even bigger. Of course, in addition to getting bigger, it is also constantly emitting strong light. Although it does not have as much heat as the real sun, the intensity of light is really exaggerated. Anyway, even if there is anyone else here besides me, don't expect it to be able to do so. See things.

Just when I was wondering why this guy turned into the sun, the inner beast in front of me suddenly changed again. I saw a sudden flash inside it, and the heart beast that originally turned into a white sun suddenly turned red from the center to the surroundings, and then the entire heart beast turned into a red within tenths of a second. A huge ball of light. This is not over yet. After the light ball was formed, many golden cracks suddenly appeared on its surface. As the cracks became more and more, there was also golden light shining through the cracks.

At this time, the red ball of light had become quite dim, and the golden light had become very intense. However, in the next second, the ball of light suddenly exploded. However, the explosion flame only expanded less than one meter and began to shrink rapidly like a video rewinding, and the surrounding light was instantly absorbed. Going back, the ball of light collapsed and shrank from a huge red ball of light into a small black dot within a second, and then floated quietly in mid-air.

"Damn it, I just found the sun and I thought I was quite sunny. Why did I turn into a black hole in the blink of an eye? Is my psychology actually so dark?"
