The team continued to climb, the cold biting everyone.
Fortunately, Shen Yan was prepared in advance. The bamboo shoots were already wrapped like a barrel, and the hat on his head covered his ears, leaving only the white air he exhaled when he breathed.
Adventure and exploration are never leisurely travels. They are often accompanied by unimaginable dangers and the possibility of paying the price of life at any time.
As for the people from the Holy See, their legs were exposed from the frayed trousers and were black and blue from the cold. The good thing is that they probably wouldn't die of excessive blood loss as their wounds were frozen.
The more painful it is, the more excited and excited the people in the Holy See are, because it is not so easy to see God. This must be a test from God to them.
Shen Yan really didn't know how to answer this statement, but the determination of the people in the Holy See was really surprising.
Of course, the real "test" has just begun. As the climb continues, some people begin to fail the "test" and are eliminated.
Shen Yan touched his stinging face. The lines on his face that Zhao Kuo helped him draw to resist strong pollution were faintly hot. In the cold weather, they were like needle pricks, reminding him that the invisible pollution around him had begun.
The bloody red flag that the bamboo shoots were holding up was as bright as if it were dripping blood.
Among the unprepared Vatican members, some were twisting into dehydrated mummies as they knelt step by step upward in excitement.
They were abandoned on the roadside. For the Holy See, they had not experienced the test of God. At this time, the twisted people were no longer brothers and sisters and were not worthy of sympathy and help.
On the steep mountain wall, corpses were abandoned one by one on the roadside.
Shen Yan recalled what he had read in Sky Translator's notes. Their current location should be when deserters began to appear in Tian Translator's team. The fear of contamination caused divisions in the team, causing Sky Translator and the others to The team began to fall apart at this location, with some fleeing down the mountain and others running around.
Therefore, Shen Yan said to Zhao Kuo and others: "We have to cheer up. First, we need to keep our spirits up at all times to fight against the pollution of the past. Second, we may encounter some troubles."
Shen Yan's so-called trouble came faster than expected. Someone in the Vatican's team suddenly exclaimed.
When Shen Yan and others walked over, the exclaimed priest's face was full of fear. Next to him lay a man, with a bloody hole ripped out of his neck by something. Blood flowed out, revealing the white bones.
It was like being attacked and bitten by some ferocious beast.
His body was still shaking in pain, but he stopped after a few moments and died.
"There are monsters. There are monsters here that eat human blood."
"It hides in the darkness around it, it's everywhere."
The priest's voice was trembling, and while he was trembling, his body became visibly dehydrated and turned into a mummy.
This is because of fear, the spirit is distorted, the body cannot bear it and turns into a mummy.
The people around him were extremely indifferent, and no one even tried to stop him.
Shen Yan thought for a while and said, "The people who came here are not us."
Shen Yan pointed at the corpses of those people from the Holy See who had turned into mummies: "If someone turns into mummies like them, what will they become under the long-term erosion of old pollution? You should
clear. "
Everyone: "..."
Aberration!
A deformed creature full of hatred for all life.
Such monsters are hidden among the surrounding cliffs and strange rocks.
Shen Yan's words actually made the people around him breathe a sigh of relief.
Fear comes from the unknown. Compared with the unknown murderer, no matter how powerful the aberration is, it is not enough to make them timid.
Shen Yan was also looking at the quiet environment around him. There were many people who died of pollution in Tianyi's team. After a century of old pollution, these dead people You can imagine what kind of terrible aberrations people have become.
However, according to the records in the Sky Translator's notes, as long as you keep going upwards and reach a position where day and night are reversed, you will almost reach the bronze door on the top of the mountain.
The team moved on.
More and more people began to die, panic and chaos seemed to begin to appear among the people in the Holy See, and there were more and more raids in the dark.
There are also advantages to having people from the Holy See. There are many of them and they will bear a large number of attacks from aberrations.
Shen Yan sometimes even had malicious thoughts. These aberrations would kill all the people in the Holy See here, so that the next risks might be avoided.
But the idea is beautiful, but the reality is that the most powerful strength of the Holy See is here, and it is really not easy to destroy them.
With people from the Holy See attracting firepower, Shen Yan and the others climbed up fairly smoothly.
Shen Yan was thinking, this looked like an ordinary mountain, so where did the ubiquitous old pollution come from?
I didn't see anything related to the old days, this pollution was so strange.
Until a few days later, when they were exhausted and had no time to close their eyes and take a good rest, Shen Yan and the others found themselves in an extremely bizarre place.
Shen Yan looked at the sky: "How long has it been since the sun set in the sky?"
The wave next to him seemed to be calculating something: "Three days."
"Here, there is no night."
It's so bizarre.
Shen Yan was overjoyed that he was finally not far from the top of the mountain. According to the records of the Sky Translator, the top of the mountain was a place with a suitable temperature.
Look at the bamboo shoots. No matter how bloated the child is, his face is still purple from the cold. He must pass through the cold area as soon as possible.
Shen Yan covered the bamboo shoots with his little hand: "If you hold on for a while, it won't be cold anymore."
Bamboo shuddered: "It's also...that is, my bamboo shoot is cold-resistant. If it were the other children in our group, they would probably cry from the cold."
Shen Yan even laughed: "Don't cry, otherwise the tears will freeze into ice lumps and hang on your face."
In fact, there are many more difficult things than the cold. For example, Shen Yan’s wheat cakes were as cold as ice cubes, but if you want to survive, you have to bite them into pieces with all your strength and use saliva in your mouth. Dissolve and then swallow.
Shen Yan is wrapping the bamboo shoots more tightly to prevent the cold wind from entering.
At this time, there was a slight movement. Shen Yan thought it was an attack from aberrations. When he went over to take a look, he couldn't help but be startled.
On a mountain wall, a very huge stone platform protrudes abruptly outwards. The stone platform looks like a forging platform.
Because it is far away from Shen Yan's route, if it weren't for the large number of people in the Holy See, they would be scattered
Yes,
The stone platforms on these cliffs cannot yet be discovered.
People from the Holy See are worshiping there.
Shen Yan walked over,
When his eyes turned from the corner to the cliff, Shen Yan was also extremely shocked by the sight in front of him.
It's not just a forging platform, but the entire cliff with no visible top is covered with such stone platforms.
Interspersed among the clouds and mist, it looks like a technological miracle in a fairyland.
Shen Yan murmured to himself: "So many forging platforms, built by mountain giants? What are they forging? It's like a miraculous forging project on such a large scale."
At this time, Dudu pulled Shen Yan's trouser leg and pointed at the people from the Holy See.
Shen Yan looked over and saw the people of the Holy See who were worshiping and chanting the miracles of God. From their bodies, little by little flames floated towards the forging platforms on those platforms.
The fire in the forging platform that had been extinguished long ago was actually rekindled.
Shen Yan: "..."
Epilepsy!
The flames used in these forging stations are actually epileptic fire!
Shen Yan couldn't help but his expression changed. What was epileptic fire used for? Besides avoiding the Whispers of Cthulhu, its main function, utilized by the Immortals, is to reforge the fragments of the Forge of Life.
Shen Yan suddenly had a sense of enlightenment. These platforms should have been built by the mountain giants to forge Damon's Gate.
The Damon Gate in his hand should come from here!
In Shen Yan's mind, a spectacular scene of immortals sweating profusely as they worked together to build a small ancient bronze box could not help but appear.
Deception and conspiracy are very historic here.
However, why God induced the Immortals to forge Damon's Gate is still a mystery.
It's a pity that time doesn't allow it, otherwise Shen Yan would have to study these forging platforms carefully, the miraculous project of the Immortal.
The cliff was already bright, and the light of the epileptic fire brought some life to this dead place.
However, soon, the light of the flame began to slowly weaken.
The epileptic fire either clings to the fragments or burns the human soul to last.
The people in the Holy See also rioted and were sucked away part of the epileptic fire. The epileptic fire is the only thing that protects their souls from the influence of the Whisper of Cthulhu.
Just now, he was worshiping ecstatically, but now he is frightened and running away in panic, staying away from here to avoid the remaining madness in his body being sucked away.
What a bunch of people that I can’t understand.
Shen Yan was about to leave, but just when he turned around, Shen Yan's body suddenly became tense. When he turned around, he saw nothing.
But just now, he clearly felt that there was something, like eyes, many, many eyes looking at him.
Shen Yan's inspiration is very high, and he can often perceive existences that normal people cannot.
Frowning: "Is it an illusion?"
"Still monitoring something here?"
It's been a long time in this dead place. How could there be any monitors still there? Shen Yan shuddered at his thoughts.
"Scare yourself and maybe stay calm."
It stands to reason that his anti-pollution ability is ridiculously high, and he is probably the person least likely to be contaminated by the past, which means that he is the least prone to incomprehensible hallucinations.
.
The epileptic fire on the cliff has been extinguished, and there seems to be no abnormality.
Shen Yan shook his head and then returned to the main force.
Although the people in the Holy See were frightened just now, they were also more certain that this mountain was definitely not an ordinary mountain. It was very possible that the extraordinary people they were looking for lived on the top of the mountain.
Continuing upward, Shen Yan and the others encountered the polar night.
Days without daylight began.
"With this weird celestial phenomenon, if one came to explore it alone, he would probably go crazy."
Shen Yan thought to himself, no, the feeling of exploring alone with so many people is completely different.
Lian Sunzi added a sentence: "No wonder our mercenaries have to form a mercenary team every time they go on an expedition. Even wandering mercenaries have to have a temporary team."
"Sunzi now has netizens all over the world, and he has no worries about not being able to form a team."
Speaking of netizens, Sunzi glanced at Abraham feebly. Hey, some netizens don't necessarily have to be forced into a team.
Shen Yan was thinking about how the first Pope Philipbus went up the mountain alone and how he survived these strange phenomena. At that time, Philipbus should not even have a purpose, let alone the belief that he must climb up. .
At this time, it seemed that someone discovered something on the road.
It was a note, written in stone by Philipbus.
"Dear Ms. Ella, I can only continue walking by thinking of your warmth."
Shen Yan almost laughed. If he hadn't learned from Bo's narration that this lady Ella was strangled to death by Philipbus himself, Shen Yan would have thought that the first pope was so infatuated.
Keep reading.
"And Ms. □□, although I'm sorry for my good friend Ms. □□'s husband James, Ms. □□'s warmth is so unforgettable. This is a secret that should never be known to others, but it's too much here. It’s weird and depressing, I have to write something to stimulate me to stay awake, otherwise the dead silence and weirdness around me will drive me crazy.”
"And dear Ms. Percy, her hateful husband, Sir Yuri, is always aloof and looks at me with contempt every time. Hey, so what, I still enjoy his wife every night. , The look of that bitch Bolsi begging for mercy is so pleasing to the eye, as if Sir Yuri himself was kneeling in front of me."
"Ms. Dolpado is not bad either. Her old husband, Duke Nova, could not give her anything. She needed freedom but did not dare to resist, so I induced her to break the taboo. This was punishment and revenge for Duke Nova. , the feeling of trampling the superior Duke to the ground is really exciting, but this damn woman actually exposed the matter in order to stimulate Nova, I must escape..."
Dirty, ugly, every word reveals an ugly soul, a pervert who uses women to obtain twisted pleasure.
The notes on the stone were quickly scratched and blurred by people from the Holy See.
"Nonsense."
"Someone must have tarnished the reputation of our first Pope by leaving such insults against his noble character."
Their Holy See is definitely not and cannot be created by such a pervert.
Shen Yan: "..."
When you get used to covering up the truth and getting used to believing in what you imagine, you will be ignored for various reasons even if the facts are right in front of you, and then you will continue to think and persist with a blind eye.
Such people are terrible, they can no longer see anyone but themselves.
In any case, the team continued upward, and just as Shen Yan guessed, the towering and huge bronze gate appeared. The people of the Holy See shed tears, touching and kissing the earth.
Shen Yan also raised his head and looked up at the familiar but unfamiliar bronze gate, the giant ruins on the top of one of the real three major ruins in the world, the City of the Immortal, they had arrived. !
