A Million Possible

Chapter 687 Return of the Dead (four thousand words)

“Appreciate further details.”

In the large room of the temple, sunlight shone in from the strangely shaped windows and splashed on the ground, enclosing half of the high priest Alcott’s body.

Cheng Lin sat up slightly, his eyes burning, trying to see what the so-called “revelation” was from the old man’s eyes.

“For thousands of years, scholars of the past generations on the mainland have been tirelessly exploring a question, that is, what exactly was the ‘catastrophe’ that severed the ancient civilization.”

Facing Cheng Lin’s question, Alcott did not answer immediately, but pulled the topic away.

Before Cheng Lin could respond, he continued to say with a sighing expression:

“Countless people tried to restore the cause of the disaster from the information handed down and the clues unearthed from the ancient ruins. Unfortunately, it was probably because of too long time, or because the disaster was even for that era. The people of “are also an unsolved mystery… In short, there is always a lack of conclusions. The most widely circulated theory claims that the source of the disaster comes from the’black sun’.”

Black sun…

Cheng Lin’s eyes moved slightly, chewing on the word, recalling the “hole” above the time-distorting force field that connected to other worlds, and did not speak.

“As for what Hei Sun is… there are different opinions, but it is always speculation. Generations of temple priests have also tried to find answers from the stars…

Oh, people on this continent always think that the ultimate mystery exists in the starry sky, and it is also the ultimate source of all our strength…

Every priest is an excellent astrologer, and generations of strong men believe that the destiny of all of us is hidden in the stars…”

Alcott said in a pious tone like a stick.

This made Cheng Lin somewhat unpleasant, he didn’t like the mystical things in this.

So he couldn’t help but said:

“Why? I heard that you believe in the so-called unknown in the starry sky… This puzzles me because, in the era of my life, there is no such tradition. We all believe that the power of Transcendent comes from ourselves.”

Alcott shook his head slightly and said:

“Because we did get an answer from the stars.”

“what?”

Half of Alcott’s face was bathed in golden sunlight, and the other half looked extremely dark:

“We prayed to the starry sky and received a response. From this, we know that all of this is fate. Among the high priests of the temple, there is a long-standing legend: When the ancient ancestors wake up from the ground, the black sun will come again. The world, and this means the Samsara of the era, that is, the end of everything.”

When the old high priest chanted this “legend” in a pious tone, Cheng Lin couldn’t help but breathe quickly.

The ancient ancestors awakened from the ground… This sentence undoubtedly refers to him.

And in the second half, what does it mean that the “black sun” descends on the world again? If “black sun” refers to the “hole” leading to another universe, then, can it be said…

“You…” Cheng Lin could hardly sit still, and was about to continue questioning, but was stopped by Alcott.

I saw the old high priest suddenly lifted his right hand, raised his fingers covered with shriveled skin, gently pressed against his lips, made a silent gesture, and then turned his head slightly, as if listening to something, “Look …It’s coming…”

At the same time, Cheng Lin noticed that the bright sunlight in the room suddenly faded, a little bit, and the darkness went down, as if… a dark cloud suddenly floated in the sky, blocking the sun.

He got up suddenly, faintly aware of anxiety, and ignored the old and mysterious high priest sitting in the chair, but strode to the window and suddenly opened a window!”call……”

A cool breeze poured into it, blowing on the huge bookshelf, turning the pages of a few flat books open.

This is the upper level of the “temple” tower. Standing here, you can almost overlook the entire capital.

The time is around 3 o’clock in the afternoon, when the sun is the strongest. In the summer season, the king’s capital is full of green trees. The sky was originally clear, but now I don’t know when. The sun.

The wind rose, causing Cheng Lin’s hair to be messed up. He raised his head, his eyes widened suddenly, and he saw that a dark, oval vortex appeared in the high sky without knowing when!

“Hole! Black Sun!”

Cheng Lin’s heart trembles, and his whole body becomes tight in an instant!

In the royal capital, countless people also raised their heads and looked to the sky in confusion.

They were either civilians, nobles, merchants who came out of the trading houses, or soldiers of the security service patrolling…

However, at this moment, everyone was attracted by the unusually changing weather.

“what happened?”

“Why is the sky overcast all at once?”

“Look, what… what is that?”

Nearly the same voice of discussion sounded in countless streets and lanes.

In the mansion that was celebrated because of being awarded the title of “Explore Knight”, countless guests walked out of the lobby, still wearing dresses, and some gentlemen were still dragging red wine glasses in their hands, carrying female families, and talking about the sky in astonishment. Anomalous scene in.

On the dock, the merchant ship carrying Cheng Lin had just unloaded the cargo. The sailors were cleaning the deck with brooms. At this time, they also stopped and talked in surprise.

Except for the two people in the temple, no one in this world felt scared. They just looked at this abnormal scene curiously and asked what kind of strange astronomical phenomenon it was.

Only some sensitive Transcendents scattered on the continent were faintly aware of the anxiety.

…

…

Polar South Collar.

This piece of land is vast and uninhabited on the deserted land at the southernmost tip of the Dipisbo Kingdom.

In a barren mountain, the densely packed leaders are busy under the drive of the soldiers, carrying the items obtained from the “remains”.

Even though those heavy “electrolyzers” have gone through thousands of years, they still have a lot of weight, and at least two young men must be able to carry them.

“Hurry up! Hurry up!” Standing at the gate of the ruins, an officer shouted with a whip stuck in his waist.

The ground nearby has been cleaned, and there is a layer of ashes burned by flames on the ground of the ruins, a thick layer, under the footsteps of countless legs, stirred with the soil, inextricably difficult to distinguish.

“This weather will change as long as it changes? I’m afraid it’s not going to rain.” The officer raised his head and glanced at the suddenly gloomy forest, and said worriedly.

Along with the gloomy sky, the wind in the forest became louder, the brightness of the world was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye, and for a few breaths, it was almost dimmed into the appearance of an approaching storm.

However, there is no water vapor, so I can only vaguely see a strange black spot floating in the sky in the distance.

“Weird thing.” The officer cursed, and looked back, looking to the left and right, “Where is your Royal Highness?”

He was going to ask for instructions to stop working. Well, if it really rains, the ruins can be hidden for a while, but transportation after rain is more troublesome.

Thinking about this, he heard a deputy finger the guide:

“The temple went down to the mountain. I heard that a dilapidated city wall was discovered, which may be the site of the catastrophe period.”

“Remains?”

…

…

“His Royal Highness, this is the city wall.”

In the direction further south of this mountain, the warrior “Lun” carried a long sword and pointed to the dilapidated city wall that was close at hand.

Behind him is Prince Nolan wearing a hunting light suit. Beside him, he is also following the middle-aged man in gray robe. Next to him, the rest of the exploration team are also there.

After Cheng Lin left, Nolan began to excavate the ruins. It was easy to find through the markers on the map and mobilized troops and civilians for transportation. The exploratory team continued to explore further south, and soon discovered it. This city wall.

“Well, sure enough… but this doesn’t look like a city wall, it’s more like a pass.” Prince Nolan took a few steps with his scorching eyes, and immediately saw the one lying on the top of the mountain, most of which was covered by vegetation. Ruins of the Great Wall.

After so many years, it has become more dilapidated, most of it has collapsed, and only the middle section is still intact.

“Combined with the nearby ruins, it can be judged that this area is most likely to be the site of a city in the catastrophic period, or even a more distant era! And what we see now is only a part of it!”

In the team, the girl named Shirley is also very excited. If there is an old city behind this, their discovery will be unimaginably huge.

The other people also thought of this possibility, their faces were almost the same ruddy, excited, they wished to board the city wall immediately and look at the scenery on the other side.

However, Nolan is here, so naturally it is not their turn.

“Let’s go up and take a look!” Nolan took a deep breath and said, immediately annoyed. “If I knew it, I will tell the temple later. If Mr. Newton is still there, then he might know what was behind the wall. ”

Just when his words fell, a cold wind blew abruptly in the barren mountain, causing everyone to shiver out of thin air, and then found that the sky was suddenly dimmed.

This change caught everyone by surprise and instinctively became vigilant. In the mountains and forests, the roar of all kinds of beasts was heard, conveying a kind of restlessness.

“His Royal Highness!” The middle-aged gray-robed man who was silent all the time pulled Nolan out, his expression suddenly becoming very solemn.

As the highest Transcendent of the Cultivation Base in the polar south, he keenly perceives the anomaly, and almost instinctively looks to the northern sky, focusing on the “spot” that is not very clear, like a part of a dark cloud.

“Very wrong! This is not a normal astronomical change! I think we should return immediately!” Although the middle-aged man couldn’t tell the source of the anxiety, he still made suggestions instinctively.

“This…no, are you too sensitive?” Nolan looked hesitant.

The climate in the South Territory is inherently weird. Although this change is too sudden, there is no obvious danger…Of course, the most important reason is that the city wall is close at hand, and it is very likely that there is a piece of ancient history behind the city wall. city ​​of!

For Nolan, this is an irresistible temptation. In other words, any “pioneer” will not be willing to stop facing such a situation.

“His Royal Highness!” The middle-aged man was obviously not good at words, and just shouted again.

Nolan’s face was uncertain, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said:

“It’s only the last few steps. Even if we evacuate, these steps are not bad. Let’s take a look, just take a look, and then return immediately no matter what the result is!”

“This… okay!” The middle-aged man in gray robe thought for a while and nodded.Nolan was overjoyed and strode forward immediately. Luen, Shirley, the older female “Dark Blue” in the team, and “Qilin” who was holding a brass shotgun and holding a dog also hurriedly followed. .

Only the two-headed dog barked fiercely, wandering around in place, digging through the dirt inexplicably with its limbs, and groaning fiercely.

A crowd of people stepped on the rocks and walked forward very quickly. At this time, the wind in the mountains became stronger and stronger, and the sky became darker. It almost gave people the illusion of entering the night.

When Nolan finally climbed the old Great Wall, stepped excitedly on the Immortal bricks that had been thousands of years old, and looked to the south, his excitement turned into consternation in a flash.

“this……”

“Ah…this is…”

“How is this going?”

The members of the exploration team next to them also reacted similarly, looking at them in disbelief.

They held the old and complete Great Wall with their hands, and what appeared in front of them was not the expected city ruins, nor the desolate mountain peaks, dense forests, or rivers, but a “deep”!

Yes! abyss!

This city wall is like being built on the edge of a cliff. To the south, the entire terrain collapsed, as if extreme crust changes had taken place, causing the original mountains or plains to collapse, and at this moment, the “deep” was filled with With a thin layer of mist.

The fog is gray, like a gray cloud in the sky, not thick, lying on the wall, you can see the desolate earth underneath through the fog, it seems to be a “plain”, spreading further south, boundless , There is no end in sight.

Indeed, there are some buildings that are obviously man-made, but they collapsed and collapsed, and they are no longer prosperous.

“This… what happened back then?” Nolan murmured.

It does seem to be a city here, but it is not the same as he expected.

“Okay, Your Highness, let’s go!” The gray-robed middle-aged man urged nervously.

“Oh… OK! Let’s go!” Nolan woke up, not knowing whether it was joy or regret, turning around and preparing to return.

And at this moment, all of a sudden, the Transcendents present stiffened for a second almost at the same time, and immediately looked at each other, their eyes shocked.

Just at this moment, they noticed a strange force descending from the sky, and this world seemed to have something more suddenly.

“Psionic Ascension!” The gray-robed middle-aged man said with an ugly face.

Immediately, the two-headed dog suddenly grinned fiercely, shrankly, bluffing towards the southern end of the Great Wall, and let out a trembling roar: “Woo Wang! Wu Wang! Wu… Wu…”

“Ah! Look!”

Shirley’s sharp shout suddenly rang, and the others looked over and wondered in surprise, what would make Shirley, who had always been calm, gaffe?

“Skull! Skull!” Sherry shouted.

Everyone grabbed the Great Wall and craned their necks to look down. Then, the same scene was reflected in dozens of pairs of eyes:

I saw that on the ruin-like plain, the soil cracked silently, and among the countless dark cracks, dense, pale, soil-stained human hand bones stretched out!

Those hand bones are pale and old, but they exude a certain luster like jade!

They furiously tore the ground apart, crawling out from the depths of the earth, hand bones, skulls, spine, ribs, thighs, soles of feet…

In an instant, the earth cracked, and countless skeletons recovered from “The Underworld”, roaring silently, looking up at dozens of people on the wall with scarlet, bloodthirsty eyes, and then…

The boundless undead turned into a sea of ​​bones, coming to this broken city wall… !
