Chapter 186: The Stars Gather, Extinguishing the Traveler (asking for monthly tickets)

Sea of ​​Death?
The group of young people were also shocked.

As people living in the end times, of course we all know the name of the Sea of ​​Death.

Together with the Storm Sea, the Fog Sea, the Abyss Sea and the Arctic Ocean, it isolates the world's continents into pieces.

Among them, the most famous thing about the Death Sea is that its water contains horrible pollution. Whether it is accidentally contaminated, or directly eating the marine life in it, or even exaggeratingly drinking the sea water directly, it is very likely to cause death or even deformation accidents.

The word "death" comes from this, meaning that it will bring death.

The darker the water, the more horrific the pollution.

According to the surveys conducted by scholars from the Astronomical Society, a standard was eventually established for this purpose, called the "Deep Diving Rule."

Every 10 meters is the limit of one level. In other words, even those legendary masters of the Heavenly Ranking, the strongest humans who have reached the fifth level, can only dive to about 50 meters below the water at most, and cannot dive any deeper, otherwise even a fifth level master cannot withstand that kind of pollution.

At this moment, outside the door is clearly still the (19, 19) lighthouse supply point in the wasteland.

Inside the door was a vast ocean.

It was clearly far beyond the Eastern Front and thousands of kilometers away from the D8B3 area, but it inexplicably appeared in the Sea of ​​Death before our eyes.

It makes people wonder if they accidentally opened the door to the space rift.

But even such a shocking scene is still not enough to move everyone's hearts.

Because at this moment, on the other side of the sea, there is an existence that is even more difficult to ignore.

It was the shadow of a giant that stood tall and upright. It was so tall that it was impossible to tell how tall it was with the naked eye.

Its shape is blurry and almost transparent. Through the giant figure, you can see the sky behind it that is the same color as the sponge, making it difficult to tell whether it is the sea or the sky.

In front of the giant's body was another huge shadow, which seemed to be a giant snake, but its shape was very strange, with the outline of a human head and a huge snake's tail, but the middle was inflated like a pufferfish.

Although the appearance is strange, it still makes people think of a legend called "snake demon" or "beautiful snake".

A giant and a huge alien snake man stood on the sea level, filled with powerful waves that were impossible to look directly at.

At the same time, the giant was performing a special action - he pressed the snake man's phantom to the ground, and used a huge wooden stick to whip the snake man's phantom's head.

It is worth mentioning that most people whip by swinging it up and down.

The giant swung his sword back and forth, stabbing into the snake-man phantom's head repeatedly.

At this moment even a fool could see what the giant was doing.

"Ah this..."

"Fuck."

"What is this? Is it the legendary giant tribe?"

“Could this be the afterimage left over from the war between gods?”

"What is he doing? Am I seeing correctly?"

"No, I feel like my brain has been raped!"

In fact, nothing attacked me after I opened the door.

But the indescribable scene that could not be described in words made everyone silent.

After a while they all started talking in disbelief.

"This is too much, too brutal, the giants are really too perverted!"

The female members of the team couldn't help but shout in anger.

The giant's actions were so brutal and his behavior was so bad, it was simply bullying and cruel devastation!

The members of the Hunter Association had never seen such a bizarre scene in their lives.

Everyone looked at the giant stupidly as he continued to ravage the snake people. For a moment, they even forgot that they were in danger and facing unknown threats.

The whole world was quiet, only the indescribable battle of the century on the sea was going on silently.

As someone who hasn't seen much of the world.

Although Gu Pan didn't swear out loud, he was really stunned.

At the same time, the more she looked, the weirder her expression became, and her heart began to lift.

For some reason, the silhouette of the giant seemed quite familiar.

Not right.

Something is wrong, even nine out of ten!

I always feel like I have seen this giant somewhere!

……

……

[You head north again, this time you are more careful, you start to pay attention to anything that may be related to the edge of Jizo's territory, not letting any one go.]

[The fish in the river ditch were frightened by you and had no time to escape, so you smashed them to death with your stone.]

[You cut the earthworm wriggling on the wet ground in half and observed its structure.]

[Look carefully at the ants in the bushes to see if the two sides of their heads are different, because they have six arms and look like the evil paper Buddha.]

[Not to mention the bird eggs on the roadside, all of them were shaken to pieces. 】

[When a goose passes by, its feathers are plucked; when an animal leaves its skin, its skin is left. This is you. When a strong man goes to war, not a blade of grass grows. You are the Xu Gongshu from the north city who is skinned.]

[God damn it, are you crazy? ]

[You are so cautious that you are extreme. You have gone from being cautious to being a god.]

[It was under such detailed and almost perverted sweeping investigation that the journey that should have taken only half an hour took you four or five hours.]

[It was almost noon when you finally finished your investigation. You found some clues at a location 1 km away from the eastern border and 3 km away from the northern border.]

[Those were tire tracks hidden in the mud of the canal, and they were connected left and right, very coherent, and no one knew where they came from, nor where they were going.]

[As smart as you are, you quickly discovered the clues - who can drive a car into a ditch and leave such subtle but stubborn tracks that cannot be washed away by water? ]

"Okay, okay, I finally found the problem. All my efforts paid off."

Looking at the strange wheel track on the screen in front of him, Xu Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

You know, he had already given up hope of finding the so-called "edge of territory".

This time, he was almost determined to die, and prepared all the props to fight to the death with the Ksitigarbha.

But I didn't expect that this time, the effort on the road was not in vain.

He really found the suspected root cause of the problem.

Although the ruts looked fresh, there wasn't much else about them that was special.

But sometimes, "existence is unreasonable"!
In such a remote place, where would there be a car driving on the wasteland?

"Hmph, let me see how many faces you have under your mask!"

Xu Shu raised his lips and continued his journey:
[You pulled aside the surrounding grass and found that there were indeed hidden wheel tracks everywhere. They were very secretive. If you hadn't happened to come across a canal and seen a little bit, you would never have found it.]

[“No wonder I was caught silently several times before. It seems that this wheel track is like the circle of the golden hoop. Once you enter it, you will be cursed.” You are firm in your judgment and become more careful. You will never step into this wheel track. ]

[At the same time, you begin to explore step by step along this wheel track. You first spit out several spider webs here as a mark, making this place a real "clue". Then you move towards the northeast first.]

[After some exploration, you find that the rut is continuous and should be a circular curve, extending from the location you found it, and finally you come to the real (19, 19), to be precise (190, 190). ]

[As we all know, the lighthouse (19, 19) you were originally planning to reach is actually a little far from the border, and this (190, 190) is the real edge of the border. ] [You follow the wheel tracks and see an ancient building half buried in the ground on the plain border. It is square, made of stone, and looks white and transparent.]

[This building is very peculiar. What you see is a complete base foundation and a wall less than one meter high. Although there is some dust on the surface, there is not much damage.]

[Based on the information available, although you have not been able to see the entire underground, you have already vaguely guessed that this is likely to be an ancient temple.]

[It seems that in some disaster in the past, it collapsed and was inserted into the ground upside down. ]

[The border line passes through it, and the wheel tracks also intersect here. Strangely, you will find that the wheel tracks disappear completely when you leave the border line.]

[You are a little suspicious, and the impulse in your heart drives you to step out of the border to find out what's going on. Anyway, this is right on the border, and there is no danger outside. Even if something goes wrong, you can escape in immediately.]

[Your choice is...]

Do you want to go out and take a look?

Xu Shu touched his chin.

After carefully examining this strange upside-down ancient temple for a while, I realized that if I wanted to dig through the ground to see what was inside, I would have to step out of the border.

It looks like the weather is clear today, and outside the border is a rocky wilderness that is endless and relatively flat, with no obvious threats in sight.

You can definitely try to go out and dig.

"But...I refuse!"

[Being cautious is a very good quality. It will become your greatest reliance for survival in this strange doomsday. ]

[You spit out a few strands of silk here to make a tangled trap, and then you start to return along the ruts. ]

[Soon you arrive at the place where you left the "clues" just now. This time you choose to continue along the rut, but go in the opposite direction. You start to move southwest, and then as the rut curve changes, you gradually move northwest.]

[After spending a lot of time like this, you once again come to the border line, here is (18, 19), this number is very accurate, it is the exact coordinate, that is, the node (180, 190). ]

[Here, the ruts cross the border again and disappear, but you see something that surprises you.]

[It was a roof, with black rubble, lined up in rows, forming a "human" shape sitting across the border, half inside and half outside. Although the bricks and tiles on it were old, they were surprisingly still quite intact.]

【The part below the roof is all buried underground. 】

what?
Seeing this scene, Xu Shu's pupils finally shrank.

The same "half body" was buried.

It is also a building with a very simple shape.

That was the foundation.

Here is the roof.

It is hard not to suspect that this roof and the foundation just now belong to the same building.

"It can't be that the inside is still completely connected, right?"

Xu Shu made a bold guess.

In fact, normal people would not connect these two buildings together and think that they are the same. After all, the construction styles of buildings like temples are mostly similar, so it is not surprising that they are similar.

Even if they are connected together and believed to belong to the same temple, most people would think that they encountered a natural disaster like a tornado, so half of them are in the east and half in the west.

After all, Xu Shurao had traveled more than ten kilometers from here to here, and the distance between the two places was a full ten kilometers.

No ancient temple can be ten kilometers across.

But Xu Shu had a more creative mind. He thought that perhaps the two were connected in other ways, such as the large circle of tire tracks outside.

After all, in this world, catastrophes can occur, and it is filled with all kinds of strange existences and mysterious forces.

Also, with the participation of "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva", it is not impossible to have a circle connected in the middle.

This is exactly related to the word "衔尾", connecting the head and the tail.

Along the way, Xu Shu also discovered an interesting point.

That is, if his guess was correct, this rut ​​should be semicircular.

Because of the angle at which the tire tracks here cut into the border line, he could see that it was basically a 90-degree right angle.

So, it has gone in a big circle, from (19, 19) to here (18, 19)!
“It’s just that the parts on the ground can be said to be connected by wheel tracks.”

"What about the part below the ground? I wonder how it is connected?"

"Is it possible that below the ground is the mysterious space where I briefly entered but was quickly sent out?"

Xu Shu's eyes became brighter and brighter. He felt that he was very close to the truth and perhaps he would soon see the true face of Ksitigarbha.

[Very good, you flexibly used the Pythagorean theorem to calculate that the wheel track is a semicircle with a radius of 5 kilometers. At the same time, you suspected that the temple head and temple bottom, which belong to two different places, are still connected despite being ten kilometers apart.]

[Your hypothesis is very bold. Now it is time to verify it carefully, because the only thing you don't know is how the underground part is connected and whether it is the mysterious space you guessed.]

[Do you want to go out and dig up the ground to see what's going on? ]

[After thinking for a while, you took out a piece of paper and drew a picture on the ground, which happened to be a "田" character. ]

[You think the horizontal line in the middle of the field is the current border line, and the center of the field is the center of the circle, which is the coordinates (18.5, 19), which happens to be the location of the (19, 19) lighthouse supply point. ]

[The Handa in the south is connected by a rut, and the Honda in the north, you suspect, is hidden underground. ]

[Oh, what a bold hypothesis. How are you going to verify it? ]

[You now know that at the lighthouse supply point, you will encounter Nie Qiba, who uses the Corpse Valley Worm to pretend to be you. At the same time, you will be briefly sent into a mysterious space and then fall out, and then be killed by the unsuccessful attempt of the Nie Wei Ji Zang.]

[As for the ancient temples and ancient temple grounds on both sides, you have to step into the wheel tracks before you can enter. You know that these wheel tracks represent a curse. Once you step into them, you will lose the capital to fight against the Ksitigarbha.]

[Taichujuan thinks you might as well just leave. You've spent so much time this time and already know the border of the cursed territory. This is the main battlefield of the Tail Ksitigarbha. You can't win. Why don't you pretend nothing happened and leave now to save your life?]

【your choice……】

[You smiled coldly, strode forward, and entered the "human"-shaped roof of the ancient temple.]

[You won’t cry until you see the coffin, and you won’t turn back until you hit the wall. You are a reckless man, and you just went in. ]

[This ancient temple is right on the border, reflecting the sun on one side and shrouded in shadow on the other.]

[You stepped through the shadows and entered the ancient temple. The soil inside the temple had buried everything. There was a bald monk sitting cross-legged on the ground.]

[He was half in the sun and half in the shadow, making his face look like a mixture of yin and yang, which was very strange.]

[“Are you Ksitigarbha, or the Ksitigarbha with the tail?” You are skilled and courageous, and you are not afraid at all. You stand in front of him and look at him carefully, trying to combine the Ksitigarbha you have seen in the legend with the monk in front of you.]

[The strange thing is that even though he is standing in front of you, you still cannot see his full appearance. His face is blurry and his breath is obscured.]

[Seeing that you are very rude and impolite, the monk is not angry, but just puts his hands together and says with a smile: "Why do you say that, donor?"]

[“You are a monk, and Ksitigarbha is also a monk. You look like a hermaphrodite now, and Ksitigarbha is also a yin-yang person. How can you say that you are not him?”]

[Your self-righteous attitude has convinced the monk in front of you. Wonderful! This is a perfect logical loop.]

【Unfortunately, he is not. 】

[He smiled at you and said, "You are very intelligent. May I introduce to you our only savior, who exists at the end of the past and the future and is the origin of all creation?"]

[You feel that this description is somewhat familiar, as if the followers of Jizo and Arthas have told you similar things before, but there are some differences in the details, and they are not completely the same. You can't help but ask directly: "It is basic courtesy to introduce yourself before asking others."]

[“I’m sorry for being so abrupt. I’m the Roadkiller of the Star Society.” He said to you.]

[Of course you don’t believe him completely, and you have never heard of the Star Meeting, so you ask again: “Then what are you doing here?”]

[The monk smiled and narrowed his eyes: "For my Lord, let me give it a try."]
