The end of the world starts with failing the exam

If it weren't for the serious decline in his strength, wouldn't he be able to deal with this little Karami with a pinch of salt?

"too weak."

Jegertos let out a long sigh, feeling that he had lost his interest.

Recalling the image of himself in deep space, the more he thought about it, the more he felt aggrieved. At that time, let alone such a small character, even the residents of the stars behind him had to walk around when they saw him!

"I didn't expect that deep space is not the only one that is in decline...even you can't escape that pale history...my king...when can we...huh???"

Just as Yegetos was standing there pretending to be cool with a broad sword in hand, Chen Jing and the others had already walked over quietly.

They all squatted on the ground to study the suddenly opened ravine, completely thinking that Jegertos was an airman.

"King?" Jegertos called tentatively.

"Yeah." Chen Jing nodded perfunctorily, "What's wrong?"

"Then...I've already done that..." Jegertos wanted to take credit, even if it was just praised by the king himself.

"Good job." Chen Jingye just praised him, raised his thumb perfunctorily and said without raising his head, "Hurry up and take a look! What's down here!"

"..."

At this moment, everyone was attracted to this ravine on the ground.

Through this black gap in the ground.

Everyone can see the magnificent scene below.

Like a universe.

Various stars, foggy nebulae, and occasionally comets pass by.

All the weird colors known to humans and unimaginable can be seen in this colorful universe.

Does it...really exist?

Everyone was a little confused.

"Down here is the place where the inhabitants of the star are buried." Hassad was almost lying on the ground, wearing telescope-like telescopic glasses, staring at the colorful universe in the ravine, "We can just go down through the passage deep in the cave. Got it!"

"So beautiful!" Wei Nan squatted aside, staring into the ravine with bright eyes, "I have never seen so many stars..."

"Me too." Yanque said softly, with a rare trace of childish excitement and longing appearing on his calm and indifferent face, "It's like we are standing on this universe!"

"I have also set foot in other ancient ruins where the old kings are buried." Lawrence murmured, with a little excitement on his pale face, "But I have never seen such a magnificent and beautiful scenery!"

"It's indeed beautiful." Tsukano Kushiro nodded, placing his fingers on the ground and drawing them back and forth as if he were drawing, "When I go back and think about this scenery, I can use it for painting..."

"Something's not right."

Chen Bofu frowned from beginning to end.

He was not immersed in this beautiful scene like others, but was inexplicably uneasy.

Lived for so many years.

Chen Boxu is very aware of the unspoken rules of this world.

Beautiful things often symbolize danger.

Especially in those inexplicable ancient ruins.

"Is this the method of the residents of the star?" Chen Jing turned back to look at the approaching Yegetos and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"do not know."

Yegetos walked to Chen Jing and squatted down, studying the stars in the ravine with everyone, and spoke in a very uncertain tone.

"Among the Old Kings, the Star Resident is considered smart. He has almost never had any conflicts with us in deep space, and has never participated in any wars. I have only met him a few times, but I have never fought against him. I don’t know him very well…”

"These stars are strange."

Bai Aji's sudden voice interrupted everyone's contemplation. At this moment, it was still "parasitic" on Chen Jing's shoulder, only revealing a huge skeletal head.

It was also looking at the starlight in the ravine.

The strangely protruding eyes kept moving, as if they were remembering something.

"Why is it weird?" Chen Bofu asked subconsciously.

"Although I have lived in deep space for a long time, I will leave deep space from time to time and go on long-distance journeys in the vast and empty universe..." Baiaji muttered to himself, his tone gradually becoming more vigilant, "These The stars are different from anything I’ve ever seen… They look so dead.”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other in confusion when they heard the murmuring of the worshiper Aji.

Too angry?

What kind of description is this?

"These stars seem to be really dead... I can vaguely smell the breath of star death..."

"You mean these stars are all dead?" Wei Nan asked with a confused look on his face, "I think they are quite normal. Are you mistaken?"

"Hopefully."

Bai Aji raised his head and glanced at Wei Nan, then lowered his head and carefully observed the cosmic star sea in the ravine.

"If I really made a mistake, maybe it would be better..."

"Oops! They're here! The guard was killed too! We can't just keep watching, right?!"

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became a little depressing, Hassad suddenly became uncontrollably panicked.

He was afraid from the bottom of his heart that Chen Jing and the others would turn around and leave, so he hurriedly got up from the ground and urged everyone to leave quickly.

"It's not too late, otherwise things will change. Let's go!"

After saying that, Hassad took the lead and walked deeper into the cave.

But he walked almost ten meters away.

Hassad stopped helplessly.

Because he found that no one behind him was willing to follow him except those family members.

Even the old natives of the city like Tsukano Kushiro didn't move... Everyone was looking at Chen Jing, as if waiting for him to make up his mind.

"Do you think the risk is high?" Chen Jing handed over the choice to Yegetos. After all, he knew these things from the old era best and had rich combat experience that outsiders could not imagine.

"King, you can go and have a look."

Jegertos helped Chen Jing stand up slowly, with a trace of curiosity in his calm tone.

"If there's any danger, we just need to evacuate in time. It will be no problem if I break up the rear."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jegertos patted his chest and began to make assurances.

"King! Don't worry! You'll be fine as long as I'm here!"

"If you didn't say this, I might feel more at ease." Chen Jing glanced at him with a complicated expression, and felt a little panicked, "Why do the words you say sound more and more like a flag to me... …”

"What is a flag?" Jegertos was stunned.

Before Chen Jing could open his mouth to answer him, Tsukano Koshiro, who was standing next to him, spoke. His calm tone made people feel more and more frustrated the more they listened.

"flag is a curse."

"???"

"real."

Tsukano Kushiro said seriously, his expression extremely serious.

"Generally speaking, people who set a flag will be in bad luck, so be careful!"

Chapter 292 The Curse of the Material Universe (Part 2)

Under the leadership of Hassad.

Everyone continued towards the ancient ruins along a tunnel deep in the cave.

It has to be said that after passing through the cave, the road became much easier. After passing through this naturally formed underground tunnel, everyone walked about 500 meters deeper and came to a place where traces of artificial carvings could be seen everywhere. spiral staircase.

The stairway goes down.

Down to the depths of the earth.

The strongest Yegertos and Hassad who led the way were at the front. Everyone lined up and walked down one by one. With every step they took, they could hear strange noises coming from the stairs under their feet.

At first, everyone was frightened when they heard this strange sound that sounded like the ice was breaking. However, after a very careful inspection, it was determined that there was nothing wrong with the stairway, and everyone dared to relax and continue walking deeper. However, their mentality It's not as easy as before.

"That tree is here to guard his tomb?" Chen Jing and Chen Bofu were both walking in the middle, chatting in low voices at the moment.

"Maybe." Chen Bofu nodded.

"Look at that tree, it's quite powerful. I thought killing it would give me some equipment or something..." Chen Jing said with a disappointed look on his face, waving his right hand shrouded in golden light, and the shadows of everyone reflected on the ground. He couldn't help but swayed along.

Although everyone present was an old descendant and had learned the skill of seeing in the dark a long time ago, Chen Jing still couldn't help but want to grab something for lighting when walking in such a place where he couldn't see anything.

"These things on the wall are really strange..." Tsukano Kushiro walked about two steps in front of Chen Jing. As he followed the team, he looked at the black marks on the stone wall, with a hint of vigilance in his tone, " They seem to be alive and squirming all the time..."

As Tsukano Kushiro said, from the moment they entered this spiral staircase, everyone found many such burn-like marks on the stone walls, but listening to Hassad's explanation... these things seemed to be some kind of existence. Mold from the olden days.

"Many ancient relics from the old era have these things." Chen Bofu was not surprised. This was not the first time he had seen such things. "They are just some molds that rely on the energy of the old era to survive to this day. They are not useful to ordinary humans." It's harmful to me, but it's not harmful to the old descendants."

After hearing the old man's popular science, Tsukano Koshiro was obviously relieved, but Chen Jing, who was walking behind him, did not relax his vigilance at all.

Although Chen Jing never showed it.

But his heart was actually hanging in the balance from beginning to end.

Because he felt that everything was... going too smoothly.

Is it true that an ancient ruin where the Old King is buried will only be guarded by an inexplicable strange tree?

Or is it because I think too much and make a fuss?

After all, not every ancient ruins is as scary as the Yellow King's Courtyard.

"Come and see! There are murals here!"

Hearing Hassad's exclamation from the front of the team, the people walking behind couldn't help but subconsciously speed up their pace.

When Chen Jing came to Hassad, he saw that the old man had put on his glasses and was leaning on the wall to study, as if he was admiring something fascinating, with a mesmerized look on his face.

"I didn't expect to see the mural I've been looking for so early... It's so beautiful... This is the most beautiful thing in the world!"

"Is this... a mural?"

Chen Jing looked at the indented paintings on the wall in disbelief. He felt that the old man was most likely crazy. These weird and twisted patterns on the wall... how could they fit the description of "beautiful"?

He must be crazy.

Chen Jing firmly believed.

The patterns painted with colorful paints on the walls are complex in content. 80% of the patterns are composed of countless twisted lines and geometric shapes of unknown meaning. The remaining 20% ​​of the patterns are weird abstract paintings.

Perhaps the painter who originally painted this long mural was also a lunatic. His minimalist brushstrokes, which he practiced due to his mental deviance, can make people feel chilly in their bones even with just an understatement.

Countless bizarre creatures that are difficult to describe in words or even unimaginable are now vividly appearing on the wall, as if the "painter" has brought everyone back to that crazy era in just an instant, allowing everyone to witness that one with their own eyes. How terrifying is a monster that only blasphemes.

If judged from a normal human aesthetic perspective, the skill of the painter who painted this long mural is by no means superb, and can even be called crude and without any sense of beauty. But if you look at it from another angle...

The man who painted this long mural.

It must be a "creature" whose painting skills have reached the pinnacle.

It just uses some rough lines and weird geometric figures to combine with each other, and it can successfully inspire the fear hidden in the deepest part of human genes, as if these twisted and abstract creatures it depicts are real and are still alive in front of everyone's eyes. .

At this moment, everyone seemed to be possessed.

While walking deeper into the stairway like a zombie, I uncontrollably watched this "magnificent and beautiful" long epic picture.

The more I look.

The more I feel that my initial aesthetic level is simply rubbish.

How can this minimalist painting be considered crude?

It’s clearly extremely delicate and real!

"Something's wrong..."

Chen Jing suddenly woke up without warning and suddenly turned his eyes away from the mural.
