Along the way, the ground was full of undulations. Shen Hao looked carefully and saw that they were not gravels, but protrusions of different sizes and shapes. They seemed to be integrated with the ground. They could not be moved by hand and pressed hard. It also feels a little soft. Shen Hao tried cutting it with a knife, but it was not difficult. However, after taking it off and holding it in his hand, it would disappear after just three or two breaths, and the cut area would return to its original state. As for the texture, Shen Hao couldn't tell, it wasn't stone anyway.
And the path is not straight. On the contrary, there are many twists and turns, and even within a short distance there will be several large bends.
In addition, the originally very weak smell of blood has gradually become heavier, at least with Shen Hao's nose, it can be smelled easily. Is there the body of some animal inside? But this is an underground palace. It has existed for thousands of years. What corpses are still alive that haven’t turned into ashes?
I was confused, but I also had a vague guess.
Shen Hao calculated the distance and turning direction in his mind with every step he took. He walked for about a little more than a stick of incense. Although he was moving in a zigzag way, the general direction was fixed, and he kept going deeper in one direction. . The straight-line distance from the Shimen entrance is almost a mile, which is actually not too far compared to this huge and odd-shaped building.
After walking a few more steps, Shen Hao paused, then quickly stepped back and stood still.
"No, the poisonous miasma is growing too fast, and the effect of the Qingyu Pill has declined too much!" Shen Hao didn't look good. The poisonous miasma was deepening much faster than he thought. Now the three green jade pills hanging on the body have reached their limit. The effects of the third pill are not superimposed. On the contrary, the anti-toxic effect increased after taking a few steps forward is completely gone. On the contrary, it is weakened a lot. This allowed the erosion of the poisonous miasma to directly act on Shen Hao's body.
"What are you going to do? I'm warning you, don't make my face look that dark and disgusting!"
Shen Hao's low words seemed a little impatient. He felt it very clearly. The most obvious change when the poisonous miasma acted on him just now was that the areas under his body robes that were covered with black lines by the black beast tattoos did not seem to be sensitive to the poisonous miasma. His greatest damage is to those parts that are not covered by black lines. Using those parts as entry points, it enters the body and erodes the soul at the same time.
If he really wants to cover his head and face with those black scale-like lines... Unless he is forced to do so, Shen Hao definitely doesn't want to become like that. It's too ugly and weird.
The black beast tattoo did not disappoint Shen Hao. It did not directly place black lines on Shen Hao's head and face. Instead, it respected Shen Hao's wishes and raised a faint black mist, covering Shen Hao's head. Wrapped up, just like he had done before when he was in the strong wind.
"Can these black lines be restored in the future?" Shen Hao reached out and touched his face. When he passed through the layer of black fog, he did not feel the existence of the black fog, and he did not smell any smell in his nose. Even if he closed his eyes, his perception would not be able to detect it.
Black Beast Tattoo quickly responded with a positive reply, indicating that Shen Hao was right, and those black lines could be restored later. This reassured Shen Hao. After all, who could bear it when his skin was covered in scales?
"That's good. But why did you become so mean after arriving in the underground palace? I had a close call outside, and I never saw you do anything like this?"
Shen Hao started walking forward again and asked again in a low voice. However, the word "black beast tattoo" does not give an answer. It just gives a general feedback of a "pleasurable" emotion, and I don't know what it means.
But the answer to the question itself is not important. What is important is that this kind of question that cannot directly give a positive or negative answer based on emotional feedback. In the past, Black Beast Tattoo would never pay attention to it, but this time it responded. Is this right? Does it mean that the black beast tattoo is deliberately showing goodwill to stabilize Shen Hao?
What is there in this place that makes Black Beast Tattoo care so much that he is so humble in order for Shen Hao not to resist?
Moving forward, with the help of the mist from the Black Beast Tattoo and the Qingyu Pills, Shen Hao could finally get rid of the thickening poisonous miasma here again.
After walking for almost half the length of the incense stick, I saw a brighter light at the corner ahead, and bursts of sounds that seemed to be chanting some scripture.
Shen Hao's first reaction was that Ba Yin was in front, and the black beast tattoo on his chest was eagerly urging him to hurry over.
Speeding up his pace, after Shen Hao turned the corner, he saw a huge dome hall in front of him. In the middle of the hall, there was a huge dark red object more than two feet high. The shape was close to a circle, but the edges were somewhat undulating. . And Shen Hao discovered that the smell of blood he had been smelling before and getting stronger and stronger was coming from this thing. Even an ordinary person's nose standing at the edge of this hall can smell it.
In addition to the dazzling dark red object, the other thing that caught Shen Hao's attention was Ba Yin kneeling in front of the dark red object.
At this time, Ba Yin was not the rotten face that Shen Hao had seen all along, but had another appearance. She looked like an ordinary-looking woman in her thirties, but there was a strand of hair in her hair. Snow-white, making people unsure of her true age. If it weren't for the clothes and the unchanged soul aura, Shen Hao wouldn't have dared to say with certainty that the person in front of him was Lord Ba Yin who had been away for a short time.
"What is she singing?"
In Shen Hao's ears, there was a series of rhythmic sounds, which came from the mouth of Ba Yin who was kneeling on the ground, but Shen Hao couldn't understand it at all, and he couldn't understand a single word. It seemed that what Ba Yin sang had no meaning at all. It is not the language of this world.
But this was definitely not a meaningless chant, because in the short time after Shen Hao set foot in this hall, he saw with his own eyes that as the chanting syllables floated out, wisps of thin dark red light bands floated out from the eight corners of the sky. Yin pulled out of the huge object in front of her and knelt down, and then touched her body like a tentacle, as if to test, the interaction between the two was obvious.
What are you doing? Shen Hao was secretly puzzled.
However, Shen Hao's doubts did not affect his eagerness to get the black beast tattoo on his body. After seeing the huge dark red object, the emotion reflected by the black beast tattoo was like crazy, and it had a strong murderous intention towards Ba Yin who was kneeling on the ground.
The emotion of the black beast tattoo made Shen Hao tense up. He understood that the huge dark red object should be the thing that Black Beast Tattoo was flocking to this time. But why do you want to murder Ba Yin? Still so eager? You must know that the black beast tattoo has been on Shen Hao for so long, and this is the first time that he has murderous intentions towards someone.
