Liu Xing was basically certain that this circular space should be a sacrificial site built by a secret church. After all, only the secret church would spend so much time and effort building such a circular space underground, or in other words, under the sea.
Therefore, if this circular space is a sacrificial site, then there should be an altar or a magic circle in the center of the circular space.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing walked straight to the center of the circular space.
Sure enough, Liu Xing saw a huge magic circle in the center of the circular space, and the drawing material of this magic circle gave off a familiar smell - the smell of blood.
"It seems that I guessed it right. This is indeed a venue for a secret church to hold sacrificial rituals. However, judging from this magic circle, the secret church that built this place does not seem to be the Ocean True God Sect or the Deep Sea Evangelical Society." Liu Xing said to himself.
Said to himself.
In addition to some more general magic arrays, magic arrays used for sacrifices like this are generally more distinctive. For example, the magic array of the Deep Sea Gospel Society has abstract deep diver symbols around it, as well as some wave patterns representing the ocean.
.
But now the magic circle under Liu Xing's feet did not have these similar patterns and symbols. Instead, Liu Xing also saw some symbols that looked like ancient tribal totems.
Liu Xing frowned. If these unique symbols are really the totems of some ancient tribes, then is the builder of this circular space an ancient tribe?
But this is an isolated island. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to breed a tribe, let alone this tribe can complete such an extremely difficult underground project.
Liu Xing thought for a while and decided to contact kp Green Light and said: "kp, now I want to go through a mystical judgment to study this magic circle."
Kp Green Light chuckled and immediately replied: "Liu Xing, have you thought about it? If you want to make a mystical judgment on this magic circle, you not only need to pass a difficult difficulty judgment, but also need to spend an hour.
It depends on the time, because it’s really dark here.”
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: "Then if I can completely illuminate this magic circle, can I make a judgment faster?"
"Of course, if you, Liu Xing, can completely illuminate this magic circle, the time it takes will be reduced to forty minutes, and you only need to reduce the success rate by 20 when making mystical judgments." kp Green Light smiled.
said.
Liu Xing nodded and decided to leave this circular space for the time being. After all, he could only stay in this underground world for fifty minutes. He couldn't waste all his time here. What's more, even if he could pass the occult judgment, Liu Xing
I feel like I won't get much useful information, and the most I can do is involve a new force.
Therefore, Liu Xing decided to walk around the circular space again, and then went to other places to explore.
Just when Liu Xing returned to the wall of the circular space, Liu Xing suddenly saw a pile of bamboo slips appearing in the sacred urn in front of him.
Seeing this, Liu Xing immediately reached out and took out a bamboo slip, then opened it and started reading... Then Liu Xing found that he couldn't understand the contents of the bamboo slip at all.
And the most important thing is that Liu Xing can be sure that the characters on the bamboo slips are neither Chinese characters, nor island characters, nor English or other languages Liu Xing knows.
If I had to say something, Liu Xing felt that the words on the bamboo slips were a bit like hieroglyphs, because many of the words looked like pictures, and Liu Xing still vaguely remembered that many of the words on the bamboo slips appeared in the magic circle just now.
.
Liu Xing understood that this magic circle and the bamboo slips in his hand should come from the same source.
Moreover, this bamboo slip also proves in disguise that the underground world of this fisherman's village should have been built by an ancient tribe. After all, hieroglyphs are also an important feature of ancient tribes.
But in this case, the question arises, how could an ancient tribe appear on the small island of Fisherman Village?
Liu Xing sighed, took out his mobile phone and took a photo of each of the bamboo slips, then put the bamboo slips back to their original places and continued to move along the edge of the circular space.
After walking a few more steps, Liu Xing discovered that there was a bronze gate directly opposite the entrance to the circular space. Because the color of this bronze gate was somewhat similar to the surrounding walls, Liu Xing initially refused.
This bronze gate was not found.
On this bronze door, Liu Xing saw a lock. The lock was a bit small, which reminded Liu Xing of the key that Panda Pig had found before.
So, Liu Xing took a photo of the lock of the bronze door so that he could compare it after going up.
But now Liu Xing is very curious about what will be behind this bronze door.
Continuing to move forward, Liu Xing walked directly to the entrance of the circular space this time and found nothing else.
Ever since, Liu Xing left the circular space and returned the same way, back to the three-way intersection.
This time, Liu Xing decided to take the middle road, because if nothing else happened, the middle road should lead to the thatched cottage where Dogo Aige was.
Moving forward, Liu Xing felt that he had walked a long distance this time, but the road ahead was still unclear.
After walking for a while, it was still the same.
Liu Xing realized that something was wrong. According to his own traveling speed, he had walked at least more than a thousand meters since he entered the middle road. Logically speaking, he had not only walked through the grass where Dogo Aig was.
room, and now I should be under the sea again.
This made Liu Xing couldn't help but wonder if he had encountered a ghost.
To put it simply, ghosts hit the wall because people are in a relatively dark environment and lack appropriate reference objects, so they have problems with their self-perception, causing them to lose their way and become lost.
If we explain it in a scientific way, we have to mention the instinct of living things. If most living things in the world, including humans, move without vision, they will notice when they reach a certain distance.
The trajectory is a circle. This is because the feet or wings of the creature are not exactly the same, so some incoordination will inevitably occur, which will lead to certain small deviations. Eventually, these originally small deviations will disappear over time.
It will accumulate into a huge error and form a closed circle.
Of course, the situation Liu Xing is encountering now may be that the road in the middle is not actually straight, but has a certain amplitude, and may eventually form a relatively closed circular road.
Therefore, Liu Xing decided to contact kp Green Light, "kp, I now want to make an inspiration judgment to determine whether I have encountered a ghost or whether there is a problem with this path."
kp Green Light thought for a while and said: "It's possible, but in order not to waste everyone's time going through the process, I can tell you clearly now that you have not encountered a ghost trying to beat the wall, and there are no problems on this road.
After all, you have been moving forward with a flashlight, so if there is a problem, you should have realized it by now."
Liu Xing raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that this kp Green Light was also an upright kp and actually told him the result directly.
However, kp Green Light was right. Liu Xing thought about it carefully and found that there was no problem with this road, and he had always been leaning on the edge of the road. If this road had a certain amplitude, then Liu Xing felt
You should be able to realize it yourself.
As for ghosts breaking into walls, Liu Xing felt that it was unscientific and not Cthulhu, so he simply ignored it.
Therefore, Liu Xing can only think of two possibilities now.
The first possibility is that this road is indeed that long, and like the road on the right, it extends directly into the seabed.
The second possibility is that he has entered a certain magic circle, or simply been enchanted, so he fell into a hallucination. After all, this is the world in the Cthulhu Running Team game. Liu Xing feels that he is very powerful.
Magical and supernatural factors must be considered.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help pinching himself...it hurt a little. It seems that the second possibility can be ruled out...
Of course, Liu Xing is actually more inclined to the first possibility. After all, now that he has learned from the road on the right, Liu Xing feels that it is not impossible for the road in the middle to go deep into the seabed.
So, Liu Xing picked up his phone and looked at the time and found that he had been underground for twenty minutes. So to be on the safe side, Liu Xing decided to walk forward for another five minutes. If there was no result, he would just turn around.
return.
As a result, Liu Xing walked a few steps forward and made a new discovery - a large number of murals appeared on the walls on both sides of the road. These murals were all painted with some kind of white powder.
The content of the mural depicts a group of humans engaged in hunting, planting, cooking and other activities. As Liu Xing continued to advance, scenes of war and sacrifice appeared in the content of the mural.
In the scene depicting the war, the camp to which the muralist was drawn actually held some strange weapons and fought with the enemy who also held spears and sticks, and then easily defeated the enemy.
But what shocked Liu Xing even more was that Liu Xing discovered that the sacrificial scene depicted in the mural was not the blood sacrifice that Liu Xing thought at first, because the people on the magic circle seemed to be tied up, but this
The place for worship was most likely the circular space on the right.
Then in the next few murals, a man dressed as a priest, probably after reciting the ritual, came to the door of the bronze door, opened the bronze door with a key, and then a group of terrifying people poured out from the bronze door.
The monster dragged those people on the magic circle into the bronze gate.
These monsters have pale bodies like giant eyeless frogs, wide mouths and clawed hands. There is a group of short tentacles where the nose should be.
Liu Xing recognized at a glance that these monsters were moon beasts!
The moon beast is a mythical creature with extremely high intelligence. In addition to the image shown on the murals, the moon beast also has the ability to change the shape of its body at will.
The Moon Beast's residence is on the dark side of the moon in Dreamland. Here we must first mention Dreamland.
In the setting of the Master of Art and Crafts, the dreamland is a parallel space composed of the subconscious and imagination. The physical laws there are very different from reality. There are a large number of mythical creatures living in the dreamland, and the moon beast is just one of them.
If humans want to enter the dreamland, the most convenient way is to dream, or firmly believe in the existence of the dreamland, and become a "dream maker" to enter the dreamland. Of course, you can also enter the dreamland through the gaps that may exist in the ghoul cave.
And there are rumors that a certain sea of trees in the real world is actually connected to the enchanted forest in the dreamland, and a certain mountain range in Central Asia is connected to the cold plateau in the dreamland.
In addition, there are some gates to different dimensions that may be connected to the dreamland.
Therefore, many modules of the Cthulhu Run game take place in the dreamland, such as the blood soup module that Liu Xing and Zhang Jingxu experienced together.
Speaking of the blood soup module, Liu Xing was still curious about what his remaining teammates experienced after he was "killed" by his teammates.
Back to the topic, unlike the moon in the real world, the moon in the fantasy world has large areas of forests and oceans. The moon beasts living here only feed on living animals and can absorb a special kind of energy from the bodies and souls of their prey.
substances as food.
Because moon beasts can adapt to a variety of climates and environments, are extremely adaptable, and can use a large amount of technical knowledge to expand their territory, moon beast colonies can be found almost anywhere, no matter in the real world.
It’s still a dream. For example, according to the photos taken by the Apollo 11 spacecraft, there is a very likely existence of a moon beast colony on the dark side of the moon in reality.
In addition to the colony, the Moon Beast also conducts slave trade in Dras-Lion Port (an important city in the Dreamland). The Moon Beast will exchange rubies for slaves and gold. Because of the unique characteristics of the Dreamland, the Moon Beast's slaves come from
There are various races in various places in the universe, but most moon beasts still prefer to choose humans as slaves.
Because the moon beast will also spend a lot of time on torture and torture as a pastime, seeking cruel joy from the pain of its slaves. The most important thing is that the moon beast will use mental spells to control its slaves and make their slaves
Unable to resist, the creatures that become slaves of the Moon Beast have an extremely miserable fate with no way to survive.
In the next mural, the moon beasts took out some strange things and placed them on the magic circle, and then returned to the bronze gate under the kneeling of the priest.
Seeing this, Liu Xing finally understood something.
First of all, the underground world of the Fisherman Village was indeed built by an ancient tribe. This ancient tribe also reached a certain cooperative relationship with the Moon Beast, and the bronze gate is the passage to the dreamland.
