Chapter 2586 (1/2)
The narrow bridge above the abyss leads to a huge cave on the other side. Everything here is shrouded in darkness. This darkness is not simply a lack of light, but more like gathering another kind of energy. They are blacker than asphalt, thicker than tar, and darker than raven feathers.
Light is like an unwelcome intruder, it seems to be excluded here, and the scope of illumination is very limited, but the super hearing of the death knell enables him to hear the sound of water reverberating in the dark below.
The underground river is at least 600 meters below the three people. The rapidity of the current indicates that there should be cliffs all around. It should flow down to the underground sea where the sun never shines.
Seeing that two human beings followed him, ye ye continued to turn around and cross the bridge, and said something about the river:
”the ravens will help us to fish under the abyss. There is a kind of white fish in the river. They have no eyes, but they are as delicious as the fish with eyes in the lake outside.”
Hermione is still carrying the fish. It's a gift for the three eyed crow.
”Do you often eat fish?” The witch asked the little woman who led the way that the big fish was almost taller than the son of the forest.
”Well, if there are too many fish in one year, we will eat fish to keep the balance in the lake.” The leaf son head also does not return ground to say, attentively looking at the foot: ”but we still eat mushroom most of the time.”
”Well, if one day there are too many people on the mainland?”
Hermione asked a more acute question. The bones on the way still made her think in that direction.
”That's what I mean by sunset. In the prophecy of the gods, human beings will perish, and then we will self destruct, while those abandoned by the world will not eat the future of the world.”
Leaf answered some puzzling words, Hermione thought it was his language did not learn home, can not help but look at the teacher behind.
However, in the dark, the knell also had a thoughtful expression on her face, which showed that she did listen correctly.
In the silent action, the group quickly passed the narrow natural bridge. Ye stood on tiptoe and vigorously raised the light ball in his hand to illuminate the grottoes he had seen on the other side.
It looks like a cave dug out on the black rock wall. It's not very deep inside, and you can see the end at a glance. The walls and ground of the cave are covered with white roots, like snakes, clinging to each other, forming extremely complex and natural patterns.
As the light bulb was raised, a pale king with a crown of ebony appeared in front of them. His face was as grim as a corpse, his eyes closed, and he seemed to indulge in a nightmare.
”The last green prophet, here comes the human visitor!”
Leaves issued a cry, her small body is like a small speaker, want to wake people from the dream.
It can be said that the tall figure was fixed on the white wooden throne. It was the three eyed crow that the knell wanted to find. His whole body was surrounded by the roots of the fishbeam. It looked like a corpse. His bones were as thin as wood, and his dark purple armor was broken.
But with the cry of the little leaf, his eyes opened. It was a one eye emitting red light.
There is a blood red birthmark on the side of his neck to his cheek. The roots of pistachio pass through his thigh and then stick out from his shoulder. Dark red leaves grow on his bones, while gray mushrooms occupy his forehead. Thin roots climb down his cheek from his other empty eyes and stick into his neck. This is how people are fixed in the roots.
”Now, you come to me, alien human, earlier than I saw.”
His voice didn't match his appearance. The half tree and half corpse was shriveled and old, but the voice was warm and calm. It sounded like a middle-aged man in his thirties.
With a smile, the knell raises its mask, and the red one eyed eyepiece lights up in the dark, looking at each other's one eyed eyepiece:
”maybe I shouldn't have come, but I'm still here. The turning point of fate is at this moment, right?”
