Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 575

[Chapter 573 Instability]

With an inexplicable sense of concern, Duncan led Alice to the huge “vine” quietly dormant in the shadow of the building.

It was bigger than Duncan could have ever imagined.

Even at its spreading end part, the diameter of this “vine” exceeds the height of a person, and its thicker “source” extends from a slope deep in the street, as if it melts directly into the night. In the dark depths, only shadowy and huge structures could be seen bulging and entangled among the shadows of the buildings, as if there was some larger and more complete “body” there.

However, the “body” of astonishing scale is shrouded in a hazy feeling. No matter how you look at it, you can’t see it clearly. Even the “sunlight” shining through the gaps in the high-altitude tree canopy seems to be unable to penetrate it. Piece hazy texture.

Alice was dumbfounded by something she had never seen before. Holding the puppet maid’s head, she opened her eyes wide and tried to see clearly the “source” of the vines spreading on the street. After a long time, she was stunned. She said, “Captain… is this also a ‘plant’?”

Duncan did not answer her. He was still observing the giant vine that almost blocked the street in front of him. After a long time, he stepped to the end of the giant vine. , leaned down at its “tail end” and cautiously stretched out his fingers to touch its rough and hard surface.

Lucretia’s voice came from the puppet head held in Alice’s arms: “Dad, did you find anything? Did you find the ‘dreamer’?” “We didn’t find the dreamer, but we did

. “A vine of astonishing size has grown,” Duncan said without raising his head. “It looks different from other plants in the street. It is very huge, but it seems to be just part of a larger ‘plant’. I don’t know. Why, I always feel that this vine seems to be… alive, or in other words, active.”

He raised his head and glanced at the towering trees on the street.

Lush plants filled the entire block, but these plants gave him a feeling of lifelessness, as if they were mere phantoms that lacked life. Only the huge vines in the center of the street gave him a sense of living things.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Duncan took a breath and decided to try to establish contact with this unique “vine”.

A trace of green flame wrapped around his fingertips like running water, and then quietly seeped into the vine, and the firelight flashed away in the darkness.

Familiarly controlling the spread of this wisp of flame in the “foreign object”, and telling Alice to pay attention to the surrounding movements, Duncan closed his eyes slightly and began to sense the information conveyed to him by the flame, and tried to communicate , understand this “vine” that seems to spread out from a huge dream…

In the darkness, it seems that something is rising and falling, condensing and dissipating.

Duncan “opened” his eyes in the darkness. In this weak and fuzzy connection, he tried his best to see clearly the outlines that condensed and dissipated in the darkness – there was mist rising from the darkness, and from the depths of the

fog , something is emerging.

There is indeed something here!

Duncan’s heart moved, and he immediately moved closer to the vaguely outline thing. He felt that he turned into a swift wind or shadow, flying quickly through the dark fog, and as he approached, the hazy The hazy shadow quickly expanded in the field of vision, and gradually began to show more details.

Duncan couldn’t help but speed up the “traveling” speed, and those fuzzy details quickly became clear in his eyes. Gradually, he began to distinguish some things – the towering and majestic bow of the ship, the dark-colored hull,

arranged on the side of the ship. The gunport cover below, the complex structure of the mast and cables, and the sail with a translucent texture at a high place…

Duncan stopped in astonishment.

He raised his head in the darkness, staring dumbly at the familiar sight that appeared at the end of the fog, looking at his… Homeless Ship.

…

Nina, who was cautiously moving forward on the rugged forest path, suddenly stopped, frowning and listening to the sounds coming from the depths of the forest.

After a moment, she turned her head: “Mr. Morris, did you hear anything?” “

It was the wind. The wind suddenly picked up, and the direction of the wind was chaotic… not normal.” Morris’ face gradually became serious, He glanced at Nina who was following him, “Go up and take a look at the situation in the distance. Don’t stay in the sky for too long. Pay attention to your safety.” “Okay!”

Nina

agreed immediately, and then Suddenly it turned into a jumping arc of flames, rushing straight into the sky – the bright flame arc quickly circled over the forest, and almost at the same time, the forest condensed by dreams reacted to it, The trees illuminated by the flame arc began to grow wildly, making creaking sounds and extending toward the sky. The high-altitude clouds also began to gather in the direction of Nina, gradually forming an enveloping ring…

But Nina only hovered in the sky for a few seconds. Before the forest’s reaction became more violent and dangerous, she quickly fell back to Morris.

“It’s scary… I’m really not welcome in this place…” She patted her chest with some fear.

“Perhaps your brilliance is too strong for this ‘foreign land’. Most foreign lands will instinctively reject those ‘invading forces’ that are enough to pose a threat to themselves,” Morris said, “What’s going on in the distance? “

I don’t know what happened in an area deep in the forest. It looked pitch black, and the trees and the ground seemed to be rotten. But it was far away from us. In the other direction, we could see tall, The continuous shadows looked translucent, like a light curtain, and nothing else was found…”

Nina quickly talked about what she saw in the few seconds she was hovering in the sky. At the same time, she raised her hand to indicate the general direction of the scene she saw, but just when she was halfway through her words, another whistling wind suddenly sounded from the depths of the dense forest, and then penetrated the chaotic wind in the forest. And the sudden creaking noise from the surrounding trees interrupted her movements.

The chaotic whistling wind seemed to be mixed with countless vague roaring noises, and a strange sense of tension and rejection instantly surged into Nina and Morris’ bodies and minds.

It was as if this forest shaped by dreams was suffering some huge external impact, as if everything here suddenly began to shake.

The two glanced at each other subconsciously, and then they saw the towering trees in the distance begin to shake and collapse like phantoms. The sky was quickly filled with fine cracks, and the light and shadow of the real world seemed to be passing through the cracks. When the light shines in, a feeling of being about to wake up from a dream wells up in my heart.

At the same time, in another corner deep in the forest, Shirley also heard the whistling noises that were rapidly approaching from a distance, and then, the Annihilation cultist walking in front suddenly stopped.

Shirley suddenly panicked, but she quickly controlled the expression on her face: “Ah? What happened?”

“The stability of the dream has decreased, the operation is over, and everyone is leaving the Dream of the Nameless One,” Richard turned around and said, a look of doubt finally appeared on his face, “You didn’t receive the message?” Shirley was stunned for a moment

. , quickly adjusted his expression, with an innocent look on his face: “I don’t know – maybe I missed it carelessly…” “Careless

?” The Annihilation cultist who called himself Richard immediately stared into Shirley’s eyes, He seemed to finally realize the sense of disobedience brought to him by the “young compatriot” across from him along the way. A trace of vigilance and doubt appeared in his eyes, “Compatriot, I seem to have forgotten to ask… are you in the real world? Which city-state is active?”

Shirley immediately noticed the subtle changes in the other person’s eyes – she was extremely sensitive to the slightest malice shown by strangers, but she still maintained a harmless expression on her face: “I’m in the city of Moko. There are so many elves here…”

“‘Compatriots’,” Richard suddenly interrupted Shirley. His voice changed, as if something else was suddenly mixed into his voice. With obscure syllables, he stared into Shirley’s eyes, and there seemed to be some bewitching power spreading in the opening and closing of his mouth, “We are prohibited from revealing our true position in the real world during our actions, even if we meet our own people.” ‘, what a pity…”

The vicious magic power quietly gathered in his mouth, and the power of the death bird was transferred to the cultist’s body along the symbiotic chain. He felt that the spell had locked the mental entity of the girl in front of him, and the other party seemed to He still hasn’t reacted at all and is still just standing on the opposite side blankly.

Seeing this scene, he was finally more certain of his judgment –

knowing nothing about the power of the curse, these could not be the true people of the Holy Lord Netherworld.

Although I don’t know where she came from, or how she came up with such a fake disguise, or what happened to the seemingly flawless “Deep Hound”, there is no doubt that this “comatriot” is Fake – Fortunately, I discovered it in time, while the other party seemed to have no combat experience.

The time has come to say goodbye, and no one can survive the curse of the death bird…

Everything happened in a moment – the fleeting judgment and emotion in Richard’s heart, and Shirley’s sudden happy and bright smile.

Richard was astonished to see the girl opposite suddenly smiling brightly at him, and he only had time to be so stunned – no time to react, no time to see clearly what was going on, when he saw the person who called herself “Sarah” “The girl suddenly raised her arm towards herself, and then a ferocious black shadow came towards her!

Shirley’s hands were up and down, and while the chain was whirring, a dog hit the cultist on the opposite side on the head –

“See you later!”
