This primitive style totem looks a bit like a mermaid. But it's not the kind of mermaid that Angel once saw in the Twilight Shooting. He is a human but a fish, and he relies on his singing voice and beauty to seduce ships and sink them.
Instead, she is a mermaid with weird fins all over her body, a weird appearance, and her fish-like parts are not limited to her lower body.
Some are half-body fish, some are left-sided fish, and some are full-body fish but retain their limbs. Angel didn't know if mermaids had this type of race, but they looked like humans and fish. Before he knew their true names, Angel tentatively thought they might be a subspecies of mermaids.
Behind this row of various mermaid totems are carved murals.
The main character in the picture has changed from a mermaid to a frogskin. The frogskin are doing weird things, some are kneeling, some are carrying burdens, and some are holding harpoons. It seems to describe the daily life of the frogskin... But the last few paintings are a bit weird.
The mermaids from the previous totem appeared again, flying in the clouds and mist, leading Frogskin to a place full of sunshine.
The frogskins formed a circle and danced in celebration, and then the mermaid disappeared.
This series of murals seems to be related to Frogskin's divine belief. Mermaid is a belief, a totem, and a god; Frogskin is a tribe that worships the totem.
The content of the picture covers a lot, from ordinary daily life, to hunting, to Ming Qi Chuang, gods and gods sacrifices all appear one by one.
Under each picture, there are a large number of written records.
This is a type of character constructed of dots, lines and patterns, like a stick figure doing various actions. Angel didn't understand the meaning of the words, so he could only speculate that they might be ideograms, describing the things in the pictures.
Angel studied it for a long time, but he had no idea. In the end, he could only shake his head and give up trying to decipher the words.
Even though his intuition told him that these words and pictures were important, he had no choice but to give up without a way to interpret them. If he knows the level 2 trick "Character Understanding", it would be easy to decipher such basic ideograms.
But he doesn't know "every word". Even if he were to learn it now, he wouldn't be able to complete it overnight. Sleight of hand tricks like "Character Mastery" and "Language Analysis" require a large amount of knowledge accumulation and accumulation, as well as proficiency in various meanings, pronunciations, and divine logic. They require daily accumulation and precipitation to slowly take shape.
Speaking of which, this is also the disadvantage of an instant wizard apprentice like Angel who does not have enough knowledge. If you are another second-level peak apprentice who has practiced step by step, this kind of "knowledge" is a necessary foundation, because in Survival in the wild, adventure in secret realms, conquest of planes, etc... all require the use of this type of trick.
Angel couldn't decipher it, so he could only write it down forcibly. If he could meet other apprentices, he might be able to exchange information.
After viewing the room, Angel continued to look around and found no hidden rooms. There are only two rooms in the entire fortress, and everything is very simple. He didn't even find any food supplies here.
Could it be that this place is actually just a concept similar to a "forester's cabin"?
With nothing to gain, Angel could only leave temporarily. However, he had a vague idea that perhaps the answer to the mystery of the Purified Sea this time could be found as long as he found the gathering place of these frogskin monsters.
But where are the frogskin gatherings? This is also a problem.
It was impossible to decipher the words, but based on the murals, Angel guessed that the final promised land might be the sun-filled place where the mermaid led the frogskin to in the pictures.
But when it came to sunshine, Angel wondered if he had guessed wrong. Could it be that the place they were going to reach in the end was not at the bottom of the sea, but on the surface of the sea?
But if it is on the sea, why does this frogskin live on the bottom of the sea?
After Angel left the circular fortress, he still planned to continue exploring deeper. Although he guessed it might be the sea, he still felt something was wrong.
He still remembered that the poor apprentice from Mechanical City who was kidnapped by Froude and others once said: "In the most dangerous place, fight for a way out."
If this sentence is the "password" for this purification garden, then the sea is so calm, so there shouldn't be any danger, right? Unless all the frogskin monsters gather on the sea surface, they can indeed pose a threat to other people according to their strength, which is comparable to or even greater than that of the previous flying fish.
But now it is impossible to confirm the location of the frogskin. Angel found the frogskin on the seabed and decided to continue searching on the seabed.
If you really can't find it, then ask for it elsewhere.
Thinking of this, Angel walked down the slope and continued towards a deeper, darker and colder place.
…
When Angel walked into the dark deep sea accompanied by boundless loneliness. The world of Feiyu, which is about to be destroyed, is a different scene.
Nausicaa was injured, and seriously. She collapsed under a tree and let out a long breath.
The breeze blew over her face and brought up her beautiful hair.
Nausicaa snorted and raised her head to look at the golden countdown in the sky. With obvious unwillingness in her eyes, it was the last hour, but she still hadn't found the so-called sea of purification.
Even if she speculates that the sky may be the exit, she doesn't know how to fly. She can only stay in the air for a while by relying on the wind spiral. How difficult is it to leave?
Not to mention, she was seriously injured now.
When the magic source was exhausted, she forcibly used the hurricane spiral cannon, although the incoming people were driven away. But she herself also suffered a slight magic backlash. Even if the magic backlash was not serious this time and most of the injuries could be restored with the help of potions, at least she would have no mobility for a short period of time.
Under such circumstances, even if the Sea of Purification was not empty, she would not have the ability to search for it.
Moreover, she may also become the team's embarrassment.
Nausicaa smiled bitterly. She had already heard heavy footsteps not far away. She thought it was Shan who directed Ganke to come over.
Sure enough, not long after, a shadow blocked her view.
"Nausicaa, what's wrong with you?" Shan jumped down from Ganke's shoulder anxiously. Nausicaa said she wanted to explore the way and go over the mountains ahead to see if there was any sea. But she didn't come back for more than half an hour, so she became urgent. rushed over. What I saw was Nausicaa covered in blood and dying.
Nausicaa smiled bitterly and said: "I was attacked by someone."
"Who?" Shanfu immediately became furious when he heard this and shouted, "Where is he?"
"I have already driven him away." Nausicaa shook her head: "Do you remember that before I entered the Purification Garden, I once said that someone was looking at me with hostile eyes?"
"Who is the person who attacked you?"
Nausicaa nodded, that tall and graceful woman with a veil. She still doesn't know who the other party is, where he offended her, and even chased him to the Purification Garden.
"Damn it, please describe what she looks like. If I meet her, I will kill her immediately." As he said this, Shan wanted to help Nausicaa onto Ganke's shoulders.
Nausicaa shook off her hand: "Leave me alone, just take Shiliu away. I guess it's impossible to continue..."
Before Nausicaa finished speaking, Shiliu, who was slumped on Ganke's shoulder, suddenly stretched out: "Yawn-"
Nausicaa and Shan looked over, and Shiliu seemed a little shy, with a lowered face: "Uh, good morning?"
…
When the twilight first came, the white color of fish belly appeared on the edge of the sky. The dawn of a new day arrives as promised.
The morning light is beautiful, but it may be the last morning light in this world.
There is still half an hour left in the countdown in the sky, and the numbers are still shrinking. It is like the Sword of Damocles, hanging over everyone's heads, reminding them that death is coming.
Seeing that time is getting shorter and shorter, all those who have not yet found the exit are interpreting all the phenomena of sentient beings.
Persistent people are still looking for direction, but if their heads are not clear and they cannot see clearly through the fog, they will eventually be punished by the hanging sword.
People who see the situation clearly are looking for ways to reach the sky. But sometimes the method is right in front of you, but no one dares to try it.
More people choose to be crazy. Before dying, they were wreaking havoc crazily, as if they wanted to vent their inner panic in this way.
At some point, the earth began to tremble. If you took a few steps from time to time, you could see cracks in the ground cracking and hot magma pouring out, burning the world that was about to be broken and sacrificed.
Lava, hurricanes, heavy rains, possessed people, and crazy flying fish are composing the last symphony before the world is destroyed.
A huge blue whale floated in the air, and a man with fish-scaled eyebrows stood on top of the whale, looking at this absurd picture of world destruction with great interest.
The man looked at it for a long time, looking attentively.
"Jebo, aren't you leaving yet?" The woman covered in a blue cloak suddenly walked to the man's side and murmured softly.
Jiebo smiled faintly: "What a rare scene, it would be a pity to miss it this time."
The cloaked woman walked to the blue whale's head and took off a red conch from the tip: "The sound of the red conch has been recorded. If you want to watch it in the future, you can watch it at any time."
Jiebo raised his eyebrows: "I prefer to be immersed in the scene. Human suffering is my favorite scene."
"However, such a scene is still too small." Jiebo turned around and said, "Let's go, it's almost time. Scenes like this may appear in the entire Southern Territory soon."
The beautiful woman in the cloak frowned: "Southern Region? What do you mean?"
"You haven't forgotten the arrival of the devil ten thousand years ago, have you?" Jiebo left these words, smiled softly, and let the blue whale sail high into the sky.
At the boundary membrane, in addition to the wizard apprentices who enter the sea of purification from time to time, there are also flying fish rushing into it.
When Jetpo came to the boundary membrane, he saw a huge ray flying gracefully into the boundary membrane.
Because of the blue whale's size and strength, no other flying fish dares to approach it. But this ray seemed to ignore this rule and passed through the side of the blue whale and entered the boundary membrane.
"What are you looking at?"
"A strange man, with no arms or legs, actually rode that ray into the sea of purification. It's kind of interesting."
