Under the snow-white moonlight and bright yellow bonfire.
A trapezoid-like part protruded outward from the top of the Rubik's Cube, and then the trapezoidal block rotated counterclockwise forty-five degrees, making a clicking sound, like some kind of precision instrument in operation. The original parts fit together to form an irregularly shaped polyhedron.
Then it bulges, rotates, fits... and it repeats itself, and the Rubik's Cube returns to its prototype. This strange change in just one second seems to have never happened.
But a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in Santanica's heart. It was the premonition that she was born after being honored as the goddess of the night by the ancient tribes and receiving countless sacrifices of flowers and gems. She had never made a mistake for hundreds of years.
Santanica grabbed the Rubik's Cube and threw it into the flower bed far away from everyone, just like throwing away a grenade with the ring pulled out.
But it was too late. Countless cracks suddenly appeared on the six planes of the Rubik's Cube, like cracked walls. Wisps of bright white arcs shot out from the cracks, projecting through the flowers to the campfire. Then an eerie wind arose from the plains, blowing a thick white mist from the cold night all around.
As soon as the fog started to rise, Dean's eyes twitched while he was listening to the song. He realized that something was wrong. He instantly used his telekinesis to pick up his unidentified companions and took them flying to the desolate and silent place a mile away from the motel. On the road, it had no effect at all. The fog actually moved over, getting thicker and thicker, blocking the clouds and moonlight, and the visibility decreased rapidly.
"Everyone, can anyone explain what's going on?" Scott hunched over and bent his knees in front of Katie, squeezing the can in his hand. "We weren't barbecuing, drinking and singing, so why did we suddenly enter the fog?"
"Be careful, something supernatural is eyeing us." Dean summoned a life shield and used his mind power to protect everyone. At the same time, he took out a group of weapons that had been repaired in the space and surrounded them. He peeked at the changes in the thick fog from a god's perspective. Unfortunately, it seemed There is some kind of mysterious power hidden, which isolates perception and seals the space.
"Sorry, I accidentally opened Seth's Rubik's Cube, which caused this series of changes." Santanica popped out her fangs and stared nervously into the depths of the fog, "I don't understand what this is. "
"Damn, that's not mine, that's what Dean gave me. I've been playing with it for half a month and I still can't figure it out. You made such a big noise as soon as you came!" Seth transformed into a snake demon with everyone. ,
Did I give it to him?
Dean's eyes narrowed, and he instantly realized that it was one of the antiques he harvested after cleaning out the first strip club. He didn't feel anything strange at the time, but he didn't expect that there was a supernatural item hidden in it?
Without allowing him to think too much, a small arc of electricity surged in the thick fog. The arc jumped and twisted in mid-air, outlining the outlines of two humanoid creatures. They walked slowly with heavy footsteps.
The shape changes from a hazy and transparent dotted line to a clear and strong entity.
They wore cool black tight-fitting leather clothes, revealing their graceful figures, and their skin was as pale as the dead. Their abdomens were stretched open by metal wires, and the hair on the rest of their bodies was also replaced by metal wires.
There is no nose on their face, or the nose and forehead are integrated and bulge outward like a half-moon. Their eyes are also sewn up with metal threads and stained with blood. Their lips are painted black. The top of their head is bare except for a high strand in the center. Crooked wire.
Their weird clothes and terrifying looks were completely carved out of the same mold, like a pair of deformed twins.
His whole body exudes a strange and terrifying charm.
And under Dean's life perspective, their life energy was actually not the white color of normal creatures, but blood red, with an intensity of about level 4, surging like a river of blood, and radiating a disgusting stream of rotting corpses. stench.
…
Tata…
There were footsteps behind everyone, and three more humanoid creatures with pale skin and tight black leather clothes followed.
A rusty and bloody hand saw was inserted into the forehead of the person in the middle, and the skin, flesh, and skull on the top of his head were separated, revealing the white brain. The blood and brain matter flowed down along the huddled facial features, and fell to the ground to sizzle. The smoke corroded into pits.
The body on the left is wrapped in a barbed wire fence with nails, and is surrounded by tender red gaps like a baby's mouth. However, his facial features are unusually delicate, and he is crying, and his mouth is wailing in pain and happiness, as if he is suffering from some kind of stimulating torture.
The one on the right has a big belly. No wounds can be seen on his body, but his whole face is like a melted candle. He has no facial features. His bloated belly is inlaid with a huge abyss mouth, and the mouth is full of triangular serrations that gleam with metal. The cold light made a clicking sound when opening and closing.
These three images are more curious and terrifying than the twins.
When it catches everyone's attention, it goes straight into their minds, as if it is engraved into the depths of their genes and souls.
Even if they close their eyes voluntarily, the monsters will come out of their sleep and create endless nightmares and torture.
…
The snake demons themselves were monsters, but they had never seen such a terrifying existence. Their scaly faces were stiff with extreme horror.
Katie couldn't help but tremble.
Only Aiden rubbed his chin with interest on his face.
"Guys, who are you? Why are you here uninvited?" Dean spoke in as calm a tone as possible. God's perspective quietly locked on the five monsters, calculated the distance between them, and was ready to launch the illusionary abyss covering a ten-meter range at any time. .
"We are the defenders of order, a group of scarred ascetics, messengers of hell in the eyes of some people, and angels spreading the gospel in the eyes of others." The deformed twins spoke at the same time, making a clear and sweet voice, stepping on cat steps, slowly approaching Queen of the Night.
Restorers, Trappists, Messengers of Hell, Angels?
What are these?
Dean's mind was spinning, and the only thing that was certain now was that these monsters most likely did not exist on the earth.
There was no murderous intention in their eyes, they just stared at the Queen of the Night as if they were staring at a peerless treasure.
There seems to be a strange order and principle hidden in them.
Dean continued to ask,
"Why are you here?"
The candle face turned to the Queen of the Night, and the big mouth on its belly made a hoarse and low male voice, "Madam, you opened the box of mourning and summoned us."
"Mourning box?"
"That is a gift given by fate to some people. It is the key to order."
"This is a misunderstanding. I didn't know that box could summon you!" The queen flapped her wings behind her, blocking the three-headed monster's glance like a shield. "We have no intention of disturbing your sleep."
"As an apology, we treat you to a barbecue. If you are full and full, can you go back to the mourning box?" Seth joked, picking up the barbecue skewers on the ground and throwing them at the big fat man behind him.
Click.
Abyss swallowed the barbecue and the iron skewers in one big mouth, chewing it several times.
"No, no, no, it's not that simple. Those who can open the box are special people. And our actions never fail," the saw head turned to the Queen with wet eyes, and a row of teeth crisscrossed left and right. As he moved closer and closer, the space around him seemed to fold, reflecting shrunken afterimages. "You summoned us, and you have to leave with us."
"where to?"
"Hell, heaven... experience the wonderful suffering, listen to the voice of mourning, and end your chaotic life." The handsome-looking barbed wire man touched his chest emotionally, with an intoxicated blush on his face, "We can feel that you The pain of being imprisoned for hundreds of years, seeing strange travelers killed and blood flowing into rivers, sacrificed to the wanderers in the starry sky... You are helpless, your soul and heart are groaning, so the suffering has carved patterns of loneliness on your body , no one has appreciated it for hundreds of years.”
The queen's expression changed drastically. Can these monsters read her memory?
"Come on, we are your kind." The five monsters walked toward the Queen of the Night at the same time, and five sweet, deep, and hoarse voices sounded at the same time, like a call from the depths of hell or a strange song from the mysterious world. , like the sound of a razor shaving flesh and blood, with an extremely cruel tenderness,
“Let’s go into the depths of our souls and see true beauty and order.”
This sentence was filled with unimaginable fear, causing every scale on the Queen's body to tremble and curl up, and her mouth hissed out a snake message, "If I can't say it!"
"Then we can only ask you to go back." The twins stretched out their hands in the air like chicken claws, traced the curves along the queen's graceful body, and continued to move forward. "There will be countless surprises waiting for you in the process!"
The twins continued to take a few steps closer, then suddenly stopped, clicked, turned their heads mechanically, and turned to Dean with their eyes sewn shut by metal wires.
"Wait a minute, I smell the breath of my lord's mortal enemy!"
Swish--
In an instant, all five monsters turned their faces to Dean.
"Are you the favored one of Baphomet?"
Deadly enemy?
Bafu is destroyed? !
Dean looked stern, and decisively activated his skill - Illusion Abyss at the five monsters that stepped into the range!
In an instant, a secret wave erupted from Dean's body and spread to all directions.
The queen and others who were close at hand just felt a gust of breeze blowing by, and they looked dazed for a moment. However, the real target of the skill, the five deformed people who were slowly surrounding them, stopped as if they were struck by lightning, and were stunned. In place.
A huge frenzy surged through the five twisted bodies, and the power from the phantom snake could not be restrained and tore apart their cold hearts and souls as solid as steel.
From the cracked mouth, the memories that had been sealed in the depths, the sad and painful experiences in the human period, and the despair when they were tortured in hell rushed out, wrapping their bodies like a black ocean.
Keep repeating it in front of your eyes, it's hard to tell the truth from the lie.
Five humanoid monsters sank and fell in the illusion.
Puff puff puff!
There was a humanoid monster with a saw on its head. The blood-stained saw automatically cut downwards, cutting open its brain, splitting the entire head into two, hanging down to both sides like a peeled potato, with the splash of blood stained red. The leather on its body and the ground beneath its feet.
It roared and screamed in pain.
The steel teeth in the huge abyss mouth on the abdomen of the candle face were broken out one by one, and then inserted into its dough-like blank cheek one by one. The tongue in the mouth was also pulled out by an invisible force, and then It wrapped around his big belly like a hemp rope.
The skin of the barbed wire was pulled off inch by inch, and blood spurted out like waves...
The twins stood side by side with their heads hanging down, trembling as if they were caught in a daydream.
…
The first time he used it, the effect of the fantasy abyss was beyond Dean's expectation. These strange-looking monsters were trapped without any resistance, and three of them obviously couldn't hold on for long and were not far from death!
With this rare opportunity, Dean ignored the surprised looks of everyone around him and took the opportunity to launch an attack!
Shadow expansion weakens the field.
The group of weapons hovering like wings behind him rippled in mid-air, forming a spear with flashing electric light. It rose into the sky and suddenly fell. With the help of inertia, it penetrated the fog and stabbed the twin sisters with incredible speed, exploding a large area. Dazzling sparkle.
But a blood-red invisible force field blocked the tip of the spear.
The attack failed!
The twins woke up feeling the sharpness and vibration on the surface of their skin. They saw their companions losing control. The two sisters screamed angrily at the same time. The screams were so loud and harsh that they were like the wails of a banshee. The ground shook violently, and cold fog rolled up. The wind was so strong that everyone had to cover their ears to resist the terrible sound.
The three-headed man who was about to be killed by the nightmare was shocked by the sound, and he immediately trembled and broke away from the terrifying abyss of the illusion. Bloody life energy surged on his skin, and his body that was almost cut in half, skinned, and burned recovered instantly. As is.
The next second.
Five freaks launched a series of strange attacks:
A large piece of sharp steel teeth flowing with green venom spewed out from the abyss of the candle face's abdomen, making a whirring sound that broke through the air. It hit the queen's membrane-shaped wings that were blocked in front of her like a shield, corroding the wings to pieces. hole.
The hand saw head took off the hand saw above his head and threw it out from a distance. The bloody hand saw flew through the air and rotated 360 degrees, turning bigger and bigger, turning into half a layer in the blink of an eye. The building was so tall that it hit the open space where Lena and Gonzalez were, opening a gully of tens of meters of flour burning with sulfur on the ground.
And the twin sisters spit out two extremely long black tongues from their mouths, wrapped around Seth and Scott's scaly right arms, corroded a burst of pungent green smoke, and pulled them slowly towards them!
The handsome man took off the iron wire covered with flesh and skin and crackled it, lashing it at everyone like a whip. Every iron nail on the silk screen suddenly came to life, and the sharp tip split the jagged mouth, like Lampreys bit the air and pounced on Katie, only to be crushed into a ball by an invisible force of thought and thrown back.
…
There were clanging sounds of dragging and crashing in the mist behind the ascetic group. Countless chains flew out from the depths of the mist, with sharp iron hooks on their tops, leaving blood and minced meat, just like countless chains. Black tentacles with sharp teeth fluttered towards the crowd.
The crowd was surrounded by enemies in front, left, right, and even above their heads, and was trapped in a desperate situation.
They have no confidence at all to resist these strange attacks!
And Dean suddenly reached out towards the ascetic group.
The underworld calls!
Tear.
An oval-shaped hole was suddenly torn open in this misty and alien-like space. The smell of death, decay, and bones blew out, and chains inlaid with skull runes shot out, passing through dozens of meters of space. In mid-air, a five-headed man was entangled.
The madness, evil, and distortion on their faces all disappeared at this moment, and the uncontrollable coldness and stiffness enveloped their entire bodies.
Their bodies were torn apart by skeleton chains in an instant, exposing their white bones. Their souls, lingering in blood, were forcibly pulled out of their bodies and slowly leaned towards the gate of the underworld in mid-air.
Dean moved——
boom!
The top exploded into debris all over the sky, and the body was raised to 1.9 meters, revealing the terrifying red bulging muscles. It was wrapped around the platinum flame plate armor. Dozens of spears, hand axes, and arrows rotated around the plate armor, like stars dotted in the sun. spot.
Under the pressure of his strong momentum and strength, the airflow behind him formed countless micro vortices, sucking dust in the air and crawling under his bent knees.
Sizzling…
Two large holes opened in the ground beneath his feet.
Dean jumped into the air and pounced on the five immobilized deformed men like missiles. Along the way, countless sharp iron hooks wrapped around his body like waves, and he was bounced away without causing any harm.
His swollen right fist pointed directly at the round, ugly head.
The physical power, life energy, and mental power merged together in the fist, blooming with dazzling brilliance, crushing the bright red force field around Candle Face.
die!
Boom!
Seventy tons of force tore a huge hole in the road with a diameter of more than thirty meters. The interior was filled with spider web-like cracks and steaming blood.
The body and soul of the candle-faced person in the cave were annihilated by this punch, leaving only a shallow pool of blood.
You killed the Hell Monk Candleface, your proficiency is +8, and the Natural Hunter is activated, absorbing 0.2 Spirit and 0.5 Perception.
…
brush--
Dean turned around and looked at the ugly deformed man next to him whose skin had been peeled off. Lightning flew forward and he punched a second time.
The fist screamed through the air, crushing the deformed flesh.
Killed Hell Monk·Barbed Wire, proficiency +7, spirit +0.1, agility +0.3
The third punch.
Killed the hand saw head, proficiency +8, spirit +0.2, perception +0.3.
…
Just one second.
This fuzzy world erupted with five short and intense spatial roars.
The earth trembled, and stormy waves rolled up in the mist!
One second later.
Dean landed lightly, and his bright red and swollen muscles quietly shrank to normal size, without a drop of blood or sweat.
There were five pools of thin flesh on the ground behind him.
A small and delicate Rubik's Cube floated into the air in the thick fog, and cracked on six sides, bursting out with endless arcs of electricity, sucking away the remaining fragments of the five monks, the thick fog that blocked the sky, and the endless iron hooks.
The Rubik's Cube returned to deathly silence and fell to the ground motionless.
Everything is quiet, and the bright moonlight shines through the gaps in the clouds, illuminating the road that collapsed like a magnitude 7 earthquake. The terrible depressions and holes tell the story of everything that happened before.
Dean put on a brand new shirt and jeans and put a few tubes of strange blood into the space. He picked up this exquisite and small Rubik's Cube, looked at its pattern carefully, and then put it into the space.
"Mourning Box, Hell Monk..."
He looked at another prompt:
Fighting lv4(460→490/500)
Strength: 20→20.5
Sensitivity: 19→19.5
Perception: 18.5→19
Spirit: 22.8→23.5
…
"Dean, what on earth are these monsters?" The Queen came around with a group of snake demons. The whole battle lasted less than a minute. The snake demons were only slightly injured and were not seriously injured.
"They are called Hell Monks, a group of evil beings from another world, but don't worry, I have dealt with them all."
Seth pressed, "Why did they attack us?"
"They are on the opposite side of most living creatures. They love to torture humans and are our enemies. If you encounter them in the future, be careful. Especially if you see this kind of box, don't touch it." Dean looked at everyone. Gou Shou strode back, "Let's go, hurry up, go back and pack your things, and then we can discuss it carefully."
Professor Aiden groped his chin, looked at the confused people, sighed and shook his head, "Tonight's attack is most likely due to the supernatural convergence law you mentioned. So many of us snake demons have been gathering together for too long, so we attracted this group of snake monsters." The monsters were attacked by them. Everyone, for the sake of safety, we have to separate immediately."
