"Stop shouting, there's no danger down there." Mis couldn't stand the way Byrne was struggling and covered his mouth.
The sound in the space under the black cavity seems not to be transmitted very far.
Byrne's noisy movements did not attract Hero's attention.
Logically speaking, a magician like Hero who is in a different place has the most keen sense of changes in the surrounding environment.
Byrne tried to muster a hint of romance.
Miz reacted and took two steps back in fear, shouting: "Are you crazy? We agreed not to use soul energy from now on!"
Chrollo's tragic situation is still before his eyes.
The heavy injuries on his body were caused by the alchemy substances containing soul energy fluctuations in his body, which disappeared into the black cavity along with many internal organs.
Byrne wanted to die just because he didn't want to get involved with her.
"Look at Luo! Look at the flickering light on his weapon! I am familiar with the way he uses his soul energy. I just suspected that the space below is different from the one above, so I tried it!"
The romantic feeling that appeared in his hand has verified the suspicion.
Mi Si sensed this and found out that indeed, he could use his soul energy normally when he reached the stairs without being affected!
The weird suffocating feeling is also gradually disappearing, which is completely different from the hole above.
The existence of the black cavity seems to be to connect two spaces that are not on the same plane.
Fortunately, the rope that the old man hung down from the other end was still there.
Byrne stepped forward and pulled to show that everything was safe here, then took up the wind bow and rushed in the direction of Hero.
Under the stairs is a pile of rocks blocking the way.
"These stones... seem to have fallen from above."
Meese looked around carefully and analyzed.
There are no signs of breakage on the stairs, but the areas farther around are surrounded by darkness. These rocks look like half of the black cavity above. Is something broken?
Is that the obelisk?
However, there is no ancient and profound atmosphere unique to obelisks on these stones, nor are there similar patterns engraved on them.
Passing through the rocks blocking the road, they approached the giant skeletons.
"Did you see clearly? There seems to be black energy escaping from above." Mi Si didn't dare to get close. He came in from the snowfield and encountered no good results from the black energy.
"It's very illusory and sometimes invisible to the naked eye, not just that! Look at the remaining meridians on the bones, they are pure black."
The two shuttled between the skeletons and slowly approached Holo.
Extremely close distance.
Hero then sensed the person coming around him, but for a moment he could not tell the difference between friend and foe. Of course, he subconsciously did not think that his companion could come down. A spear shone with black light like a spiritual snake in the dim environment.
Only now did Byrne realize that the spiral shape of the spear in Hero's hand turned out to be so ghostly when it was used with all its strength.
Not as bloated as its size at all... The cold light hit his eyes and stopped, giving him no chance to react.
Hero stopped at the last second and exclaimed that he was hallucinating:
"Why are you down here?"
"Of course it's to save you. Without you, they would have gone home." Byrne pointed to the top.
"Actually, there is no need to come down. I can go back. Besides, something is wrong here. It is not a place that ordinary apprentices can come to."
Hero first led the two of them away from the skeletons on the side.
He had gone deep for a certain distance before, and the jumping look that Byrne saw was that he was sensing the situation above.
He couldn't help but suppress the soul energy near the skeleton, but his perception was still suppressed, and the vague and familiar feeling coming from above was surprisingly similar to the [Black Sea] after he sensed it and confirmed it.
That sense of familiarity comes from [The Nest].
The rumored burial place of the Grand Duke... is really in this far north.
Literally buried with the monster.
"Be careful not to touch these bones."
The pollution escaped from the depths. The place where they were standing now was fine. Hero used the [Black Sea] to sense it. The pollution in the air was so thin that he wouldn't have noticed it if he hadn't been sensitive to the same origin.
Such a low content is nothing to a wary apprentice.
But these giant skeletons are different.
They have soaked in pollution here for hundreds of years, and the water dripping through the rocks has long been invaded by pollution.
The black air appearing on the surface is the manifestation of pollution emanating from the bone marrow.
"Now that I have found you, what should I say next? Continue to explore or go back?"
Hero was a little hesitant, and after discovering that there was pollution in the depths, he started to shrink back.
He still remembers clearly the appearance of [The Nest] coming out of the seal.
The physical power of Zhetian's body alone was too much for him to bear.
And that's not the complete origin.
Who knows what kind of changes the things below will undergo over the course of thousands of years under the influence of the Grand Duke and the monsters.
This is not something that an apprentice can get involved in. He has to go back and inform the Golden Sheep about the situation here.
"Withdraw, the mission is terminated..."
"Wait a minute! There is movement ahead!"
In this quiet environment, the sound could not travel too far, and the skeletons of the fallen giants were like an unknown jungle of bones, and every strange sound seemed particularly permeable.
But at this moment, very clear human voices could be heard coming from the depths of the jungle, which made it even more abrupt.
Hero immediately pulled the three of them and crouched next to a huge white bone: "Shh! The movement just now seemed like someone was there."
Mis put out the summoned light deer and muttered: "There are still people in this damn place."
"Let's take a look first and then talk."
The sharp-eyed Byrne was the first to notice the abnormality. He pulled Holo and looked in the direction of his finger.
Through the jungle of bones, I could see a figure flashing through the depths.
It's just that the light from an unknown source in this area is really weak. If you can clearly see the overall appearance of the giant's skeleton, it's already Amitabha. It's impossible to see further.
Hero thought for a moment, then led the two of them to crawl forward for a short distance.
"Did you find anything?"
"Standard clothing!"
"There shouldn't be any living things here, unless..."
"Unless it's the team in front of us?!"
"This is the next level of the 'brain domain'?"
"Probably not. If it were just a simple next level, Chrollo wouldn't be so scared. He should know the existence of this level, but we tried it with him before we came down, but he was frightened."
Meese nodded to show that Byrne was not exaggerating: "Besides, the meaning of black accent is not as simple as hiding the next layer."
"Byrne, go back to the top and let the old man torture Chrollo and ask him about their plans and the situation here."
"What about you?"
"We are here to keep an eye on the group of people in front of us. You should hurry up! I can't guarantee that we will follow them halfway." Hero's eyes never left the group of figures in front of him.
"Okay, wait for me!" Byrne nodded firmly, and using the cover of the skeleton, he turned around and climbed up the ladder to pull the reserved rope head.
Time passed in minutes and seconds.
This dark corner has been silent for hundreds of years, and even if a few restless mice sneak in, they won't make much noise.
