The end of the world begins with failing an exam.

Chapter 566 Conch and Horn
Dagon.

A local belief originating from the Old Sea.

It is said that it is also one of the ancient gods that has survived from the old times to this day. It has no human form but looks like a big octopus. It lives in the dark sea of ​​the old all year round. It hardly likes to show its saints in front of people. It is not seen by outsiders. There are only a handful of times in this world.

So many people think that Dagon is fake, a false god created by the natives who smell of fish all over their bodies, in order to scare the outsiders from the mainland, but in fact... Dagon does exist. .

Chen Bofu was lucky enough to witness its appearance.

without any exaggeration.

That experience frightened Chen Boxu.

Compared to when he ventured to the Western Continent and was almost killed by the ancient god Xi, Dagon of the Sea of ​​Old Days was obviously much more terrifying...

"I don't know how much you know about the ocean, but I'm sure that no matter how much you know, it won't be enough."

When Chen Boxu and Chen Jing told these past events, they inevitably recalled that experience, with a clear look of fear on their faces.

"Although the universe is far wider than the ocean, it is ultimately visible and intangible, but the ocean is not. When you are drifting on the sea in a boat, the farther you are from the land, the more frightening you feel. It seems that everything in the world is covered by those dark things. The sea swallowed up..."

"Do you still have a phobia of the deep sea?" Chen Jing asked dubiously, as if it was difficult to connect what Chen Boxu said with himself.

"WTF?"

Chen Bofu seemed to have never heard of this term, frowning and taking a deep breath of cigarette.

"You will know once you go there. The water there is black. The shoals on the shore suddenly become very deep after a few dozen meters, like there are cliffs on the seabed. The [Turing Research Association] originally threw them into it. After passing the detector, I wanted to survey the Great Trench that the natives talked about, but in the end nothing was detected and the detector disappeared... Don't interrupt me, kid!"

"Don't interrupt, don't interrupt, just keep talking!"

Seeing Chen Jing obediently shut his mouth and remained silent, Chen Bofu picked up the cigarette and took a slow puff before continuing to talk.

"When we went to explore the Sea of ​​the Old Ones, there were not many people in the team. Apart from the two natives who led the way, there were only me, Randolph, and that old bastard named Armitage... "

"The natives who lead the way?" Chen Jing was stunned.

"Nonsense, if we don't find someone to guide us, we won't get lost at sea!" Chen Boxu glanced at Chen Jing, feeling that he was making a fuss.

"Grandpa, can't you fly?" Chen Jing asked cautiously, "No matter how big the Sea of ​​​​Old is, it shouldn't be a problem for you to spend some time and fly back and forth..."

"Can't fly."

"?"

"You can't fly in that place."

Seeing Chen Jing's puzzled face, Chen Boxu had no choice but to explain patiently.

"I told you before that the three major sects cannot set foot in the Sea of ​​the Old... The main reason for this is that something is wrong with that sea."

Chen Bofu shook the ashes from his cigarette and continued with a solemn expression.

"As the most polluted area left over from the old days, that sea area has the property of devouring energy. Any old descendants, polluted species, or ancient species that set foot in it will have their energy drained away from their bodies."

"Fight, fly." "Swim in the sea, or use powers."

"The more energy you need to use, the faster your own energy will be extracted, so you can't fly in that place. Even if you want to fly, you can only fly short distances. After a long time, even I can't stand it... …”

According to Chen Bofu, it is precisely because of this characteristic that the Old Sea is less dangerous than the Western Continent, but it is truly disgusting.

There is the ancient god Xi who likes silence in the Western Continent, and whoever makes a sound will die.

And the Sea of ​​the Old... Although there is an ancient god named Dagon living there, in general that ancient god has a good temper and basically does not show up, and he does not necessarily show up to kill people. .

The danger in that sea area will only come from two aspects.

Either they are polluted species that always live in the sea. They have long been accustomed to this harsh environment, so compared to outsiders like Chen Bofu, they are more resistant to the energy extracted by the ocean. To put it simply, they are more durable.

And another person who can bring danger to outsiders... is the group of natives who smell like fish.

"Those bastards who eat hair and drink blood are very disgusting." Chen Boxu emphasized this point, his face full of undisguised disgust, "They are also very evil-minded and very xenophobic, although it cannot be ruled out that there are good people in their group. , but most of them are the kind of people who eat people without spitting out their bones... When I say cannibalism, I mean it literally, you don’t have to think about it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Boxu couldn't help but frown.

"Those natives are also ancient descendants. The sequence of their awakening is very strange and they have a deep connection with the sea. If the Conch City you are looking for is really in the sea... to be honest, it will be very troublesome."

"Where is that ancient god?" Chen Jing asked curiously, "It should be the biggest trouble, right?"

Hearing this question, Chen Bofu sighed heavily while smoking.

"When I went to sea with Randolph Armitage, the group of natives seemed to be celebrating some kind of festival. There was a festival to honor Dagon... I heard from the natives who led the way that Dagon's festival was a carnival day for everyone, but Dagon does not necessarily appear. It appears very rarely in history, and each time it is regarded as a good omen by the natives."

"We had bad luck that day."

"Not long after we got out to sea, we bumped into Dagon who came out of the sea and wanted to get some air."

to date.

Chen Bofu could never forget the experience of that day.

On the boundless dark sea, violent winds and roaring waves swept through waves of terrifying tsunamis, and silently, as if swallowed by darkness, the sea suddenly cracked, and a line hundreds of kilometers long appeared in the center of the ocean. The wide endless abyss...

On the sea, everything Chen Bofu and the others saw were instantly swallowed up by the abyss. Whether it was ships or islands, they all fell into the terrifying abyss.

If Chen Bofu and others hadn't been on a boat far away from the abyss, they would have fallen into it in an instant.

"To be honest, I still don't know what Dagon looks like. I can only understand it through the totems drawn by the indigenous people. Dagon's body should be similar to an octopus."

"You didn't see Dagon that day?" Chen Jing asked in confusion.

"Of course I did."

Chen Bofu sighed helplessly, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

"But I've only seen part of it."
