Like a fish jumping out of the water, a transparent monster suddenly jumped out of the ice wall on one side. Doug frowned. This was slightly different from what he imagined.
But it wasn't a big problem. Relying on the image left in the black crystal, he turned around suddenly and thrust the dagger into the air behind him.
There was the sound of bubbles bursting in the air, and the black mist spread like ripples where the dagger struck, and a black flower bloomed in mid-air.
The illusory flower did not last long, and the black mist condensed into ice cubes in an instant, outlining a black snake-shaped statue made of ice crystals.
"What is this?" Doug asked subconsciously.
[Diodisis, a translucent sea monster, can create illusions by combining some of what it sees, hears, and targets. But what’s more worth mentioning is that they seem to be able to “jump” through mirrors. It’s really amazing. ! But sailors will be in trouble if they encounter it, haha. ] Austin retells the contents of the sea monster illustrated book.
"Hey, is it intelligent?" Doug grabbed Hua Dian, "It feels like a very ordinary sea monster."
[Hmm——] Austin pondered for a moment, and then carefully read the contents of the sea monster illustrated book, [I’m afraid so, there is no relevant information in the description. ]
"Then how do we get information about Benjamin from it?" Doug looked at the snake-shaped statue. This guy is not exactly a snake. Its forelimbs are similar to humans, but they have four fingers and a suction cup-like structure at the end.
"I have a solution for this," Beowulf said.
After saying that, the black statue began to expand, and then exploded with a bang. The fragments on the ground turned into black mist, twisted into a thin thread, and penetrated into Doug's body.
After a brief and intense tearing sensation, segments of light and shadow poured into his mind and began to play in the form of a revolving lantern.
Doug immediately realized that this should be the revolving door before the monster died that was transferred to his mind by Beowulf.
Wandering among the incomplete and broken images, Doug tried to find the part about Benjamin. With this thought, many images began to slowly dissipate, fading from his mind one by one, and after a while, only one remained.
Doug stretched out his hand and poked it gently, and a vortex suddenly appeared on the "cover", and a strong suction force directly sucked his body in.
First there was a sheet of ice. After several flashes, the vision moved to the ground. Then a crack opened in the ground, and majestic yellow-green light poured out. The vision suddenly went dark. The next moment, it appeared in the hall filled with divine blood. A majestic figure stood in front of the raised stone.
The figure turned around slowly, and Doug's breathing gradually became faster - Benjamin, that person was undoubtedly Benjamin, but he looked relatively young, not much older than Doug.
The field of vision jumped again, this time moving directly to the ice next to the abyss. Benjamin could be seen fighting several tentacles through the ice. He was so strong that he was unable to withstand the attack, and in the end he rushed directly into the abyss.
Diodisis's vision also moved, witnessing Benjamin fighting with a dark shadow at the bottom of the abyss, and then being swallowed by the shadow.
This is the only image of Benjamin left in the sea monster's memory. Perhaps it was his powerful strength that impressed Deodisis so much that he could still use it to create illusions after who knows how many years.
"What happened? Was he eaten by a sea monster?" Doug, who was out of the revolving door state, asked in surprise, "Have you never been beaten before?"
[No, no, no. ] Austin retorted to Doug, "I think that's where we're going, the legacy of Benjamin, and the passage back to the past." ]
Beowulf was shocked when he heard this and dissuaded him: "That guy was just an ordinary mythical species, but he obtained the flesh and blood of gods in the battle between gods. Now he is probably close to being a demigod. I think this idea is very dangerous and very dangerous." Unreliable."
After saying this, he added: "If it was in my heyday, I could take a gamble, but now it is difficult for me to protect myself."
"What he said does make sense." Doug, who has always been a reckless man, also agreed with his idea.
"I think we should not go any further?" Doug pointed to the corridor ahead, "Since there is a road here, its existence has its own reason."
"I have been in this ice for many years, and this crack should have opened recently. Don't you think that it appeared because of your arrival?" Beowulf said, "I think that if you want to get out, The answer lies in this fissure.”
Austin didn't say anything else. What they said seemed to make sense. This rift was really weird. It was both divine blood and mummy. It seemed like they wanted to give him a hint.
As if he touched a soldering iron, Doug suddenly shuddered and almost jumped up.
This was a fleeting sense of danger. Doug's whole body immediately tensed up. A faint black mist surrounded his body, and he was wary of his surroundings.
Another fleeting feeling, this time Doug accurately captured the source of the danger perception - his own mummy.
The originally shriveled and dehydrated corpse had unconsciously become normal, as if it had just died.
The changes are still going on, but Doug doesn't dare to destroy it at will, for fear of causing some space-time paradox, so he can only watch from a distance.
Under his gaze, the mummy's eyelids trembled and slowly opened, revealing pure black eyes without whites.
"Austin" tilted his head slightly, as if he was looking at his other self.
At this time, Doug's hair was standing on end, and the reloaded revolver was pointed at the mummy.
"The breath has changed, it is no longer Austin." Beowulf reminded.
The mummy's head tilted from left to right, and his hands violently tried to break free from the cross and attack Doug.
But the long nails that nailed him to the cross emitted a pale golden light, pressing him tightly on them, and he could only continue to struggle.
Doug remembered something, took out the ice box containing the divine blood, picked up a drop with a dagger, and sprinkled it on the struggling mummy.
After the divine blood flew to the surface of the mummy, it spread rapidly, forming a translucent film within a few seconds. The mummy struggled in it less and less, and its size gradually shrank, and after dozens of seconds, it shrank to the size of a fist.
Finally, the thin film made of divine blood seeped into it, and a mummy nailed to a cross suddenly turned into a light red key hanging on it.
Doug hesitated for a moment, picked it up with his dagger, and asked, "Key? Is there a door here?"
"There are many doors in the wreckage." Beowulf replied without interest, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said: "But there is really a special door. In the direction...it's not far ahead!"
"Hmm, let me just say that moving forward is useful, right?" Doug shrugged and smiled.
