Chapter 288 The curse cellar that has not been demolished
Annan hadn't seen him for a long time, and his system jumped out of his own initiative.
Except for using [Nightmare Fragments]... which are left behind after the death of extraordinary people, which can open the key to the road to nightmares, and the [Truth Manifestation] prompt when Annan obtained the broken page of the Sky Crane, he basically
I have never seen the system automatically pop up outside the nightmare.
And it's still such a disturbing bright red font.
Annan frowned slightly, released his field of perception to the surroundings as much as possible, and slowed down on the stairs.
Fragmented pictures kept appearing in front of them...if they were distracted, one of their feet might slip off.
"Be careful and don't trip. Walk slower!"
Annan reached out and grabbed the hand that Zhuo Ya handed over, using the scepter as a crutch. He slowly descended among the matte fellows, and raised his voice to remind: "I feel that the frequency of hallucinations has increased significantly -"
He heard his own voice, which seemed to be no different from his real voice.
But when others listened to Annan's voice, they found that they couldn't hear it clearly at all.
In the special environment of being close to the curse cellar, his voice was stretched extremely long and became extremely distorted. It was like a radio with poor signal or a record with a slippery disc.
"Actually... panic... because..."
Jacob's voice, which became increasingly blurry and fragmented, rang in everyone's ears. But this time it was no longer a problem of not being able to hear clearly - it was like a phone call coming in when the phone was placed near the speaker.
The extremely sharp roar completely covered Jacob's voice.
They even felt an uncomfortable buzzing in their ears.
Players feel a bit familiar... It's like the discomfort in the ears when a plane takes off.
——The next moment, all the sounds they could make completely disappeared.
Whether it was the sound of talking, the sound of footsteps when walking, or the sound of Ananton's scepter, they all disappeared in an instant - replaced by low and small white noise.
A line of prompts appeared in front of Annan again:
[——Warning, you have entered the black rock curse cellar]
Then, Annan felt a blow under his feet - as if the ground beneath his feet suddenly disappeared, and his whole body continued to fall downwards.
Annan felt that Zhuo Ya, who was falling at the same time as him, also clenched his hand tightly for a moment.
...It turns out you are afraid too.
Annan raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Another half minute passed, and he didn't feel the touch of the ground.
At this height, if he landed on the ground, he would definitely fall to his death. Annan even felt Zhuo Ya's palms sweating and trembling slightly.
In order to comfort this elder, Annan did not hesitate to hold her back hard and shook her slightly to calm her down.
His firmness and calmness seemed to be transmitted to Zhuo Ya through the warmth of his palm. She stopped trembling almost immediately, and she didn't hold Annan's hand so hard.
But in this lightless, silent, falling abyss, Annan didn't have any fear.
--the reason is simple.
Because this feeling of falling...how should I put it, is a bit fake.
A person's center of gravity cannot be in the middle, especially when their feet are not touching the ground and they cannot exert force to adjust their posture. It is just a momentary fall, but it has been so long for them, or they should fall forward.
Or it should fall backwards.
But Annan didn't tighten his core at all? He still felt that he was falling very gently and vertically - there was not even a sense of wind resistance due to constant acceleration, only a simple feeling of falling. The Zhuo Ya at Annan's hand also didn't feel it at all.
Tilted... Instead, it was because she was nervous and made some small movements of her own that caused her body to tilt slightly.
Zhuo Ya seemed to realize this quickly, gradually relaxed and adjusted her posture slowly.
...That's probably why Jacob asked us to hold each other's hands.
Annan thought so.
Suddenly? Annan felt some changes...the speed of their descent seemed to slow down.
More than half a minute passed after that.
They finally felt the touch of the ground under their feet? They stood on the ground again.
A low hum still lingers in the air.
After a brief silence, Annan asked tentatively: "Everyone... can you hear me?"
"Ah, you can hear it."
"It scared me to death. I thought I was going to fall to death..."
"This must be the kind of slow-descent platform where the wind blows from bottom to top? How could it be possible to fall to death..."
In total darkness? The players were the first to react.
"Can I light a fire?"
Zhuo Ya's voice was a little dry and hoarse, and she asked Jacob in such a low voice.
She didn't seem to be as unfavorable to Jacob as she was at the beginning... Maybe it was when Jacob showed his ability to penetrate the barrier that the ceremony began? She realized that Jacob did have real talent and learning?
My attitude has improved a lot.
"...It's okay, it's okay."
Jacob hesitated for a moment and responded: "But I still recommend using lighting without heat... Do you need to let me do it?"
"No? I'd better do it."
Zoya shook her head.
She raised her hands high and said loudly: "Look at me!"
The next moment? Her fingertips sparkled.
Like fire striking flint - Zhuo Ya's right index finger burst out with bright brilliance, completely illuminating the surrounding space.
That is the idol spell called [Light of Guidance].
Light up the light on your fingertips or the tip of your sword - by continuously investing the mana of order, you can maintain this light.
It can force everyone who sees the light to focus on their own hands - to put it simply, it is an instant group taunting spell. If you force yourself not to take taunts? Will other actions require a concentration penalty?
In this way, people who see the light are forced to attack themselves first.
If you are in a fierce battle, you can also use this spell suddenly to try to create a momentary vulnerability for a tightly defended enemy...or to wake up a teammate whose soul has been stolen, or to interrupt the enemy's original attack.
, or interrupt focused movements.
But now, is it simply used as a spell to maintain light? It's really overkill... But by maintaining this spell, even if there is an enemy that suddenly attacks, Zoya will be attacked first. This makes it easier for people to deal with it.
Under this bright light, they finally saw the internal structure of the curse cellar——
——That is a shocking and magnificent structure.
They were in a circular hall, which looked like a lecture theater surrounding the center. There were many stone seats like seats around it, but there was no one on the seats.
Directly behind the "podium" is a huge pure white door that is twenty people tall.
It has no handle and no knocker.
There are no pictures on it, just the words of the elves carved on it.
In the four corners of the hall, there are four white columns standing like the four legs of a turtle. Its width requires more than five adults to hold hands to hug it... But if you listen carefully, you can realize that the columns are
hollow.
Those are not pillars, but pipes.
But rather than saying it is a pipe, it is more like a blood vessel obtained by some kind of monster.
This is by no means a spectacle that can be built by the Brotherhood of the North. It has an ancient atmosphere immersed in history everywhere.
In other words...
"...Didn't the elves here dismantle this curse cellar from the very beginning?"
