"Yes, the coordinates on the obelisk point to this city." Chu Tianjiao nodded and admitted Lu Mingfei's unfinished guess, "It is the city under our feet."
The third Nibelungen.
This is the third pure white island that Chu Tianjiao and his group have landed on. On the altar, they saw a total of three towering obelisks, on which the appearance and specific coordinates of the three Nibelungen in the world were recorded.
So who is the owner of this "Island of Death"? How does he know the location of these Nibelungen? And why record them here?
There are too many strange mysteries, just like the thick fog between the islands, everyone feels shrouded in mystery.
"I silently memorized the coordinates on the obelisk. This island depicts a city in a rainstorm. Compared with the buildings described on the first two obelisks, this is probably the easiest Nibelungen for me to find." Chu Tianjiao said, "It turns out that this Nibelungen is real. As you can see, Odin is the owner of this Nibelungen. I have been here for more than ten years before I found any traces of Odin."
What Chu Tianjiao didn't finish was that Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang had only been in Kassel Academy for two or three years, and they had experienced so many Nibelungen, and they might have encountered enemies at the level of Dragon King. Chu Tianjiao had never seen such outstanding young people. Maybe one day in the future, the dragon race really has the hope of ushering in the end in their hands.
Lu Mingfei and the others didn't notice Chu Tianjiao's smug look. Lu Mingfei, Nuonuo and Chu Zihang exchanged glances tacitly, thinking in their hearts that the first altar Chu Tianjiao encountered was engraved with the bronze city, which was Norton's Nibelungen. The second altar Chu Tianjiao encountered was engraved with the capital's subway, and the subway was Jörmungandr's Nibelungen. The third altar was this city, and Odin was entrenched in this city... Norton and Jörmungandr were both one of the four kings. Does this indirectly prove that Odin is also a dragon king?
The king of the sky and wind? The king of the living ocean and water?
Thinking of the eight-legged horse that spewed thunder, Lu Mingfei was more inclined to believe that Odin was the former, symbolizing the sky and wind.
"How many cable bridges did you see on that altar?" Nuonuo suddenly asked Chu Tianjiao.
Chu Tianjiao took a deep breath, and his eyes jumped twice, as if some bad memories happened to be mentioned.
"One." Chu Tianjiao was silent for a while, then answered Nuonuo in a low voice.
"One?" Nuonuo was stunned, "Only one? Is it the one you came here? Does that mean that island is the end of the island? You should retreat to the previous island and choose the last rope bridge to reach the central island?"
"No, I only saw one rope bridge on the altar, but it is not the one we came here." Chu Tianjiao shook his head and said.
"What do you mean?" Nuonuo was confused by Chu Tianjiao's words, "There is only one bridge on this island, but it's not the one you came from? Then how did you get to this island?"
"This is the weirdest thing for me. I clearly remember the location of the bridge when we came, but when I looked over, it disappeared, as if someone cut off our retreat." Chu Tianjiao took a deep breath, "Fortunately, none of the crew members seemed to notice this weird situation. Before they noticed it, I quickly led them down the altar and walked straight to the only cable bridge I saw on the altar."
"Why didn't you tell everyone what you saw?" Jiude Aki asked curiously.
"Those guys are already on the verge of extreme dissatisfaction. If we create panic for no reason at this time, the whole team will be scattered." Chu Tianjiao shook his head and said, "They believe in Sasha, not me. If it was on the 'Yamal', I might use force to deter them, but this is on the 'Island of Death'. When they enter this unknown world, death is no longer a big threat to them. If force is used, it will only be counterproductive, and the fragile trust will collapse in an instant."
Nono opened her mouth and fell silent again, because she knew that Chu Tianjiao was right. When it was bright and colorful on the "Yamal", Chu Tianjiao's violent means might still be effective, but in a place like Nibelungen, no one would buy it. Those retired special forces soldiers had tied their heads to their belts long ago, and Chu Tianjiao couldn't tame them. If they were frightened at this time, these guys might completely lose control.
"This time when we walked onto the rope bridge, Sasha deliberately came to the front of the team and walked side by side with me." Chu Tianjiao said, "I noticed Sasha's wink at me, so he and I slightly quickened our pace, and the other crew members were left behind us."
"Sasha asked me a question." Chu Tianjiao paused, "He asked me if we couldn't get out."
"He noticed it too?" Nono said.
"Yes, in fact, on the altar, his eyesight was not enough to penetrate the fog and see the edge of the island clearly, but he was very good at observing people's emotions. He felt that my emotions had changed, although everyone's expressions changed after entering this ghost place. I was always tense, but this time when I walked off the altar, I was obviously more helpless and anxious. Sasha guessed that I was probably looking at Something not so good has happened." Chu Tianjiao said, "Before we even left the island, we would vote on which rope bridge to choose. Even if there was only one way, we would go around the island, but this time I will take it after we get off the altar. I rushed everyone to the rope bridge in such a hurry. This is so abnormal and does not fit with my cautious character. "
"That guy named Sasha's intuition is very accurate." Caesar nodded and said in approval.
"Not only is his intuition accurate, he is even more careful than others, even in such a situation." Chu Tianjiao said, "Sasha is the only person I can trust in this team, so I asked him what he asked for when he came." I told him about the disappearance of the bridge and asked him not to tell anyone else. Sasha didn't seem too surprised. He was silent for a long time. When the outline of the next island appeared in front of us, he asked me A question."
"Sasha asked me what the truth of this world is." Chu Tianjiao looked up at the ceiling.
Nuonuo's eyes twitched, Caesar frowned slightly, Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking. Everyone in this room had different expressions.
The truth of this world... is really a huge and broad question. This question is so big that people don’t know where to start for a while.
For ordinary people like Sasha, the truth of the world may be that hybrids and dragons, their pure-blooded humans are only at the bottom of the biological chain. Humans have never been the rulers of this world, the great dragons are. ...But is this really the truth of the world? Humans view the world from their own narrow perspective, so why don’t other species do the same? The dragons can easily destroy a city and thousands of people, but powerful black emperors have also fallen before.
What is the truth of this world? This question is too profound. When the questioner and the answerer are different, the answers will definitely be different.
How would Chu Tianjiao answer Sasha?
"I didn't answer Sasha's question right now, because it's impossible for me to mention the secrets of dragons to ordinary humans. This is the iron law of the mixed-race world. Although I trust Sasha, that's only in the current environment. Among such a group of people, I think I trust him the most, but I I only knew him for a few hours, and we were strangers a few hours ago," Chu Tianjiao said, "I was silent for a long time before speaking. I said that the truth of the world may be hidden at the end of our day. This question should not be ignored. Let me answer it, why not reveal it with my own eyes.”
Chu Tianjiao's answer was actually quite wise. He threw Sasha's question back perfectly, because he couldn't give a standard answer. Instead of asking others, it's better to verify it yourself. Now is a good opportunity.
"Sasha smiled bitterly and said it was not certain whether his fate would be revealed. In fact, he had no hope of getting out alive. I patted his shoulder and said that since he is here, don't think too much. There is an old saying in China: 'Now that it's here, take care of it.'" Chu Tianjiao said, "Finally, I told Sasha, this is it. The island here definitely has more than just white stones and ancient paintings. You are likely to encounter bizarre creatures next, but don’t be too afraid, because no creature is invincible. If you can get out alive, you will take what you encounter here. Treat it like a nightmare and forget about it when you wake up.”
"I don't know if Sasha listened to what I said. He kept his head down and remained silent. Maybe he was thinking about what the bizarre creature I was talking about was." Chu Tianjiao said, "After the conversation between me and Sasha, The next island soon appeared in front of us. Different from the three pure white stone islands we encountered before, this island was larger and covered with lush vegetation. "
Everyone's spirits were lifted. They all had considerable knowledge of the wild. Where there are usually plants, there are also other creatures.
"Have you ever seen gray-white plants?" Chu Tianjiao asked the other people in the room abruptly.
Everyone was stunned. Gray-white plants... This color is thought to be rare in nature, but if you really want to look for it, you will definitely find a gray-white variety. But since Chu Tianjiao asked this, it means what he encountered It's not that simple.
"Almost all the plants on that island are a strange gray-white color, not a pure gray-white color. What I mean is that those plants feel like they are on the verge of death. I can't feel their vitality at all. "Chu Tianjiao said, "Except for the one in the center of the island. A towering tree, that tree is normally green, but if you look carefully, you can see that there is a touch of gray in the leaves, and it seems that it has begun to be smudged by the smell of death on the island. In short, this island gives people the feeling of... There is an air of ominousness, there are obviously living things everywhere, but they are full of decay and death.”
An island covered in vegetation but full of death?
"I started to feel uneasy when I set foot on this island, and the crew behind me probably did too. They had been chattering non-stop just now and became much quieter. The road we walked on was covered with thick moss and Ferns, this island gives people the feeling of It's like a primitive jungle, but the moss and ferns are also strangely gray-white," Chu Tianjiao said. "The soil is sticky and moist. When you step on the plants, they will slowly squirm behind you and return to their original shape, just like walking on them. This is a way to protest against the invaders.”
"The plants above our heads can be more than thirty miles tall, and the short ones are less than the height of a person. Two crew members holding wide hunting knives are leading the way. They are cutting down shrubs and weeds along the way. Our destination is The towering tree in the center of the island," Chu Tianjiao said, "I collected several kinds of trees behind the crew that opened the way. They cut off the plants and put them in their coat pockets. The quality of these plants was difficult to distinguish. They were a bit like the ancient qualities that would grow in the original tropical jungle. However, the climate on the island was not suitable for the growth of tropical plants at all. I don’t know why. It’s not my imagination, I always feel like something is moving on my body.”
"When we got deeper into the island, one of the crew members made a sound of exclamation. Everyone moved over. It was a crew member who found ants on the ground." Chu Tianjiao said, "Others rolled their eyes and said what's so strange about ants. Yes, the crew member said that this ant looks different. They have huge pincers, and the color of their eyes is also very strange, and this is the first time we have seen moving creatures on these islands. I always felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, but I didn't realize it for a while. Just when I was distracted, he had already reached out and grabbed the ant."
"Damn it, before going to the island, I clearly reminded them that the creatures here are different from what they know, but they didn't take my words seriously at all!" Chu Tianjiao said, "I stopped him loudly, but it was already too late. The crew member let out a loud and painful scream, and other crew members gathered around him, but I pushed them all away. I yelled loudly to tell everyone to stay away from him, and then quickly checked on the crew member. situation.”
"He was bitten by the ant. In the tiger's mouth, it was not so much a bite as it was pinched by an ant pincer. I saw that his wound was festering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then there was a strange swelling. Off-white, it started as a point and then quickly expanded into a surface, under my gaze His whole hand turned gray. "Chu Tianjiao's face didn't look good. "It was only when the ant on his hand fell to the ground that I noticed that the ant did have a pair of pincers that were disproportionate to its body. , the most important thing is that its eyes are actually two golden dots!”
"Golden eyes?" Caesar's eyes widened, "Dragon subspecies?"
