Song of Time – Dusk Awakening Verse

Chapter 78: .The Faceless (Part 1)

The cave, which was originally empty, was occupied by countless black soft **** at this moment. I don’t know where they came from. They were squeezed hard to get to the front, but they seemed to be blocked by an invisible boundary. The back and forth collision piled up into a large creeping black wall.

Facing the entrance of those monsters, Yunuo stretched out his hands, palms forward, gritted his teeth and desperately released **** to maintain the invisible barrier. His eyes were flustered and his face was pale, but it was not because of the weakness caused by the rapid consumption of divine power, but because of the girl in front of him, who was very familiar, but at this moment, she turned out to be a stranger-like female craftsman.

Gloria was standing on the invisible border, behind which was a dense army of monsters, but she was not afraid, her face was strangely happy, and her blush was proud of her, as if she had finished a stroke. The look of big business. It's just that she didn't show the slightest joy in her movements. She held a knife in her hands and pointed it directly at her throat. There was a layer of blood on the sharp blade, but she did not seem to feel any pain, and she was still smiling.

Eamon was standing next to Yuno, his face looked like iron, motionless, the horse-cutting sword had been thrown far away by him, deeply inserted into the rock formation, beside the girl's long heavy sniper.

"Hehe! Is there another one who snatched something from this lady? Huh, these monster babies are all mine! Don't even think about it!" The girl saw Rhea who had just entered by the entrance and smiled nervously again. Moved a step back.

"It's all yours! We don't want anything. Calm down!" Yuno also yelled with all his strength, rustling his voice as if he could not hear him unless he shouted.

Rhea looked at the girl whose eyes were clearly cracked, but still laughing constantly. She didn't dare to take a step, her whole body was cold from the inside out like frozen, and she couldn't help shaking slightly. She didn't understand the situation before her at all: What happened during this short period of time she left? Why did Gloria become insane and want to hurt herself with a knife! ? Where did those black ball monsters appear?

The situation is tense, no one can answer for her, but anyway, she must first find a way to ensure the safety of the girl, what should be done... She glanced to the side without showing a trace, and the cave was dark. In the end, if you can release a flash bomb, it will have a miraculous effect, but now Gloria is holding a knife on her neck. If she moves rashly, it is impossible to guarantee that she will not provoke the other party to do anything stupid...

The situation gradually deteriorated in the stalemate. The little doctor persisted for too long, and was already somewhat exhausted, and the white light between his hands was obviously weakened. Rhea hid her hands behind her back and quietly released some divine power to strengthen the line of defense, but she was immediately spotted by the sharp-eyed girl.

"Hey! What do you want to do! Hold your hands up! Humph, don't think Miss Ben is so fooled!" She snarled viciously at her closest sister, with fire in her eyes and blood stains on her hands, "Don't talk to you anymore. Get all out! Hurry up, get out all!"

"Don't be angry, let's go now..." Rhea immediately raised her hands up in response, and walked slowly back a few steps, then she suddenly glanced at the suitcase on Eamon's back. With a thought, she thought of the girl's usual financial ecstasy. As he was doing business, he shouted, "Miss Vera, we have a treasure we want to show you. It's a good thing. I guarantee your satisfaction!"

"Treasure? What kind? Bring it to this lady!" Even though her thinking was confused, the girl still remained sensitive to the new business, and was attracted to take two steps forward involuntarily.

"...Eamon, quickly take out the treasure found on the rock pillar "carefully"." She tried to keep a little smile, and cast a wink at the still standing swordsman.

Eamon glanced at her from the corner of the light, and if he realized something, he unzipped his rucksack and took out the potion bottle containing stinky mushrooms, pulled the gauze out of the wrapper to reveal the transparent bottle, and shook it towards the girl.

"What..." The girl squinted her eyes and couldn't see exactly what was in the bottle. She was about to get closer and woke up again. "Hmph, do you want to lie to this lady to deal with me? Don't think about it! Throw the baby here, hurry up!"

"Throw it to her." Rhea nodded to the Great Swordsman, and Eamon held the bottle tightly and threw it in front of Gloria. The fragile glass bottle shattered, and the disgusting rancid smell instantly filled. The whole cave.

"Oh, it smells so smelly!" The girl subconsciously raised her hand to cover her nose. At this moment, the divine power of cold ice that Rhea had secretly prepared had sealed the dagger in her hand firmly. Eamon leaped forward without any hesitation, stretched out his hand and took the girl back gently.

"Let go of me, let me go!" The confused girl struggled to escape the iron-like arms. Rhea had just built an ice wall to block the group of monsters. When she looked back, she had to raise her hand and knock on it. Behind her head, knocked her out.

"Let me take a look at her first." The little doctor ignored the sweat from his face and motioned to Eamon to flatten the girl. He stretched out his hand to float in front of her forehead, and the healing light flashed and lit up, a few seconds later, The girl finally sighed and woke up.

"Smelly! Big guy, did you secretly take out the stinky mushrooms again!" Her face was as white as snow, her mind was still ignorant, but her nose was very bright, and she complained weakly when she smelled the smell. .

"Huh...it seems to be okay." Yuno raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat. As soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and sat back on the ground with soft legs.

"Drink the potion first." Rhea picked up the potion bag that was thrown aside and helped him drink the bottle of magic potion. The little doctor's flushed face was calm, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

The female archer looked at the girl who was finally back to normal, her eyes trembled slightly, her mind was still chaotic, and she was afraid after bursts. She hurried back but encountered this sudden change. She was initially flustered, and she couldn't move lightly under the rat avoidance device. If it wasn't for the use of stinky mushrooms on a whim, I'm afraid... Angrily, there is only one thought left in my mind: what is it that is doing the wrong thing?

"What are you guys... I'm so dizzy and smelly, put it away soon!" The girl didn't remember what happened just now. At the moment, she was just retching because of the smell, and she patted desperately. Eamon's trouser legs urged him to act quickly.

But the Great Swordsman turned a deaf ear to his ears, muffled his head, and stared at her in a half-kneeling posture. It seemed that the change had just hit him a great deal. In order to prevent another accident, he stubbornly stood by the girl. , Didn't want to move at all.

"I'll come..." Yuno took the empty potion bottle that he had just finished drinking, and turned around to pick up the stinky mushrooms, but suddenly he had a meal, "Sister Rhea, look at those monsters!"

Outside the ice wall where water was constantly melting, the countless black ball monsters quietly rushed into the cave, and it seemed that the four people at the door no longer had any interest.

"I'll go and see." When the female archer thought of the sharp knife that Cai Liya was in her throat, her murderous intent was hard to vent, she curled her brows to keep up, and was shouted by Yuno again.

"Let's go with everyone, just in case..." He persuaded carefully, frowning and holding his breath, pinched the stinky mushroom with the tips of two fingers, quickly stuffed it into the bottle, sealed it, and walked back to wrap it around. It took a few turns of gauze to carefully put it into the medicine cabinet.

"What's the matter? Why do I feel so tired, there is still some pain in my head..." The girl struggled to sit up and rubbed her sore neck. The small wound on her neck had long since disappeared under the influence of the healing power. Up.

"...It's nothing, maybe you've been too nervous these days. You fainted and broke the bottle of stinky mushrooms." Rhea didn't want to mention the change that just happened that made her feel more stressed. After a while, the companions all silently said nothing, only that it was the truth.

"Well, no wonder I feel weak... Fortunately, the stinky mushrooms are not gone, otherwise it would be a pity..." The confused female financial fan easily believed her words, whispered and sighed alone. Eamon picked it up and put it on his shoulder.

"Let's go." Rhea put the girl's gun slanting on her shoulders, holding the glowstone lamp in one hand, and the longbow in the other, chasing the black ball monsters, and Emmon drew the big sword and inserted it behind her back. , Followed closely with Yuno. A few people quickly ran to the end of the cave and inquired left and right, only to find that there were narrow passages hidden in the depressions on both sides of the seemingly seamless black stone walls. This piece of black scorched rock was indistinguishable. The light cannot be found at all.

Rhea carried the light and took a photo at the entrance of the passage that could be walked in. The black fog inside seemed to be getting thicker, and the light was no longer visible from a meter away, as if it had encountered a physical barrier. "Be careful, follow me..." she whispered, preventing the girl from wanting to turn on the engineering lights, and led the crowd to move gently along the narrow narrow road.

The more they go inside, the more they can feel the pressure around their bodies increasing as the thick fog thickens. In the end, the faint light of the glowstone lamp is like a candle in the wind, only illuminating the size of the palm of the hand. The space made the faces of several people hidden in the darkness.

"Wait..." Rhea seemed to hear a soft whisper in the light of the breeze. She waved her hand to indicate that everyone was sticking to the wall. She turned her ears to distinguish carefully for a while, then turned her head and asked Eamon, "I listen There was a voice in front, did you notice?"

The great swordsman's divinely flowing eyes lit up frighteningly in the dark. With the nodding movement, he drew out the great sword silently, bent down and sent the girl down to Yuno, ready to join the battle anytime Preparation.

In this weird cave where monsters are infested, you can rule out any signs of human survival without even thinking about it. So what is it talking about? The already dignified atmosphere of the team increased tension at this moment. Rhea bit her lower lip and squeezed her longbow. The two teenagers didn't dare to get out of the air. They supported each other step by step and followed her around the corner, only to find a flash of fluorescence in the fog ahead.

The passage in front of him suddenly became much wider, exactly the same as those ground-growing dragon lairs above the secret passage. It's just that the rock walls are covered with all kinds of luminous moss and mushrooms, illuminating a bone-like gray, and with the whispering whisper like a ghost, it makes people panic.

"Falling Dragon..." Rhea held a lamp and took a photo above her head. The extremely shallow thread traces were clearly visible, showing her the identity of the creator of this cave. But if this is the ground-falling dragon's lair, then the clearer voice now is even more suspicious, at least she can be sure that the huge and incomparable underground king will never utter such a whispered whisper.

"Yunuo..." She nodded to the little doctor. Yuno quickly took out the potion bottle containing the stinky mushrooms and held it in her hand. Since this amulet-like weed can protect them through the underground corridor safely, I hope it can play some role here too.

Gloria was in a daze all the way to the present. Seeing the stars-like fluorescence, she finally regained her spirits. She supported the little doctor's shoulder and looked around with interest, muttering: "It's quite mysterious. I don’t know if there are any treasures hidden inside..."

She seemed to be unaware of fear by nature, and was carefree, but Yuno was more sensible than her. Thinking of the girl's inexplicable crazy behavior just now, she was terrified and hesitant to ask Rhea: "Also Do you want to move on? Could this be an exit from the Grinding Dragon's Lair? The underground space has been hollowed out by the monster. If we go in like this, we might get lost in it..." Worrying is not unreasonable. The twists and turns of the underground cave corridor are unknown. It is really not a good idea to rush in again.

"Let's go inside again..." Listening to the whisper in the wind, Rhea faintly felt that there might be a key to solving the mystery of the fortress ahead. She didn't want to give up this opportunity and carefully put away the glowstone lamp. Continue to move forward persistently.

There is still nothing else in the fluorescent dotted passage, and the four figures appear from time to time, quietly shuttled in the darkness, with the faint smell of mushrooms floating around them, praying to avoid unknown monsters that may exist. The murmurs lingering in the ears became clearer as they got closer and closer, like a temptation, the desire to constantly guide them forward, and finally after passing the last bifurcation corner, the vision ahead finally opened up Get up-it may be said that it is surprisingly open.

The first thing that catches the eye is a gleam of light from the top of the cave that is more than ten meters high, like the skylight of the church prayer platform, illuminating the ground several meters square, bringing this misty cave Especially weird sense of ceremony. In the light stood a figure covered in black smoke, with his back to the crowd, bending over and muttering to himself, beside him were countless black soft ball monsters that everyone wanted to track down, piled on top of each other. , I don't know where to extend from outside the aperture.

As soon as Rhea saw the black shadow, he held everyone back to the side of the corner, leaked a little corner of her eye from the wall, and stared at the figure in the sky carefully, so close, the whisper that came from an erratic voice could be approximated. I understand.

"...Yes, yes, it needs to be reduced a bit, and a bit more here..." The dark shadow seemed to be gesticulating, "Well, my little darlings, come here."

Countless black lights began to radiate from his fingers, just like the mist in the hole was constantly rolling and gathering, the black **** outside the aperture were all attracted by him, rushing to jump in front of him, melting into the expanding black light. It's like a victim of some kind of sacrifice.

"More! Quick! Quick! I can't wait!" Sombra's voice suddenly became sharp and sharp, like a villain waiting anxiously for lunch, but in the next instant it turned into a lower and weak whisper." Yes, the waiting time is too uncomfortable, I'm so sad..."

"Okay, okay, my dear brothers, be patient, it will be done soon..." The peaceful tone that I heard at the beginning sounded again, seeming to be comforting, and the movements in his hands kept on for a while.

Rhea listened to a few neurotic mutterings to herself, and watched the tumbling black haze, her heart became more vigilant. The scene in front of me looked like some kind of evil summoning ritual. Could it be that the figure in front of me who is not known to be a ghost is the real cause of the catastrophe of the fortress? If so, what is his ultimate goal...

Gloria stuck half of her head out of her arm, carefully looking into the distance, her small mouth tightly pressed, she didn't dare to leak a word. Yuno was still leaning against the wall, listening to the man's weird and changeable tone, frowning, he didn't want to look at it, but was ashamed to be next to the girls' bodies. Emmon was still at the end of the team with a straight face, his right hand clenched the horse-cutting sword, and took a look at the passage from time to time, beware of any possible threats.

"It's almost done, so be it." There was a little joy in the black shadow's rigid tone, and with a wave of his hand, the remaining black **** all retracted out of the aperture in response. The black mist in front of him rolled faster and faster, gradually condensing, and finally turned into a big bird with short arms, flapping black and red wings floating in the air, looking like a chaffinch, but with a long head on top The curved mouth is almost twice the body, and the proportions are very uncoordinated.

"It's ugly! I'm very angry, I don't like this!" The sharp tone appeared again, sounding full of anger.

"There is no way. We always have to try more before we can find the perfect solution." The calm tone seemed to persuade as usual.

"But, but... it's really ugly, why did I fail so much, I'm so sad..." The cowardly tone hesitated and complained.

"Haha, I think it's funny, I like this weird thing the most." A happy voice came out, chuckled and sang the opposite.

"Damn it! You will always have trouble with me. Sooner or later, I will tear you up sooner or later!" The angry tone was extremely dissatisfied with the mocking chuckle, gritted his teeth and cursed.

The calm tone began to persuade again: "Okay, okay, my brothers, although the results are not good this time, it should not affect our beautiful friendship. After all, it is still a relationship with insufficient experience. Maybe next time, we You can create the perfect pet."

While talking, he gently stretched out his hand and clicked it on the big mouth like a crescent moon. The black light flashed, and the little monster that had just been created instantly melted into a black mist and merged into his body again. .

The two girls who witnessed all of this were shocked. The formation of the monster from scratch is enough to prove that the black guy in front of them must be the master of everything. Gloria saw the monster turn into black smoke again. She was so excited that she couldn't control her emotions. A whisper leaked from her throat. Although she immediately covered her mouth, there was no small voice in this empty space. Will be amplified and reverberated, so it is not surprising that it attracted the attention of the shadows.

"Ah...I almost forgot. Our guests have been waiting there for a long time. It's really rude and rude..." He straightened his back and turned around slowly while speaking politely in a calm tone. . Under the dim light beam of the light beam, the black mist that hovered over his body became more vivid, and the thick mist wrapped around him in a long robe, covering his hands and feet.

"If you don't dislike it, please come and sit in first. I haven't had so many guests here for a long time. It's so lively..." He looked up at the entrance of the empty passage and sent out a sincere invitation softly, under his hood. The only face that was exposed was like a piece of shiny white paper, and the face of the thin melon seeds was empty, except for the faintly flowing mist, nothing could be seen.
