Deep Sea Embers - Chapter 742

[Chapter 724 Under the dark starry sky]

, the green flames were like meteors, falling straight down from the dome of the solid starry sky, tracing a bright trajectory and then crashing onto the barren plain full of strange rocks.

Then the flames exploded and bloomed in mid-air. In the swirling firelight, the figures of Duncan and Alice walked out of it, and finally stepped into this unknown world.

Before the firelight dissipated, Duncan noticed those strange, twisted and horrifying figures in the distance – a dozen deep demons gathered at the edge of the landing site, looking a little dull for some reason.

He and the demons looked at each other, and the atmosphere at the scene was inexplicably frozen.

It wasn’t until belatedly that Alice finally let out a yelp, breaking the solid atmosphere: “Captain! We are surrounded!” “

…I saw it.” Duncan said casually, and was already ready to follow him. The preparations for “dealing with” those demons – the dozen monsters in the distance were obviously different from the deep demons summoned by the Annihilation cultists that he had seen in the real dimension. Their limbs were obviously more twisted, and some bodies Weird dislocations and cracks can also be seen on the top, and the skull demon floating in mid-air has a terrifying hole on its head, which looks difficult to deal with.

According to Duncan’s understanding, the twisted things like the deep demons are, of course, the more twisted and wrong they are, the stronger they are – the demons in front of him are so twisted that they are about to break. They must be masters in the deep sea, most of them have nothing to do with the real world. He was different from those rookies who ran away as soon as they saw him…

But what he didn’t expect was that just as he was getting ready to “say hello” to the local indigenous people, he saw a group of monsters in the distance that seemed to suddenly When they reacted, they instantly let out a series of chaotic and noisy roars and hoarse noises, and then scattered in all directions, half of them gone in the blink of an eye.

It’s not that the remaining half didn’t run, but that they were limping and couldn’t run. Although the scary-looking skull demon could fly, when it flew, it trembled like an old diesel engine with a leaky cylinder. , after two puffs, a puff of black smoke came out of the big hole in the head and then fell to the ground. After struggling for a few times, it floated up again, and after two puffs of black smoke, it fell to the ground again…

Optimistically, half It can fly up to six meters in a minute and spend most of the time poofing in place.

Duncan & Alice: “…?”

The two reacted for a while, and Duncan finally noticed the messy traces on the ground at the edge of the landing site – many almost unrecognizable wreckage scattered among the potholes and ravines. While the smoke and dust are billowing out, it merges into the ground. There are horrifying deep pits and dents everywhere on the ground, as if a layer has been “cut off” by some kind of crushing force, which is terrifying to look at.

At first, Duncan thought these traces were just “natural landscapes” in the deep sea. After all, he had heard from the beginning that this place was a “broken wasteland”, but now he finally realized… this place was a place of fierce battle. The battlefield afterwards.

Something came here one step ahead and killed almost all the deep demons in the center of the wasteland, and the dozen demons in the distance were just a group of lucky survivors –

their twisted looks were really disturbing.

Alice also reacted at this time. She looked around with wide eyes and noticed the dark skeletons scattered in a nearby pothole. She immediately grabbed Duncan’s arm: “Captain! This place is full of demonic remains!”

Duncan glanced at the skull demon that was swinging and flying in the distance and a few death birds jumping on the ground with one leg, and thought thoughtfully: “…It turns out that I have already beaten him…” “

This Who did it?” Alice looked quite uneasy, and the scene nearby made her a little nervous. “Are the internal fights among the deep demons usually so fierce?”

Duncan didn’t speak for a while, but just bent down and looked carefully. A fragment of bones that was almost burnt to charcoal, and then an open hand was opened above the fragment.

A small green spark that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye floated out from the charred bones and landed in his hand.

The faint sparks still carry the “memory” left on this battlefield not long ago.

“It’s Shirley and Agou.” After a moment, Duncan raised his head and looked towards the end of the vast wasteland. “They have been here before…Theoretically, the traces here are left by them.”

Alice listened. , his expression was dull for a moment, and he was a little unresponsive: “…Are Shirley and Agou so powerful?”

“It seems that something happened to them, there was some huge… change,” Duncan frowned slightly , with a solemn expression, “Especially Shirley, she doesn’t feel right to me right now.”

As he spoke, he turned his eyes following the direction he sensed, looking at the “imprinted breath” transmitted by Shirley and Agou. direction of coming.

Boundless chaos fills this boundless dimension. The stagnant ancient starry sky covers the dome of the deep sea. The dim starlight shines on the fragmented floating islands in this chaotic space – as far as the field of vision can reach. Inside, he could see many large and small shadows floating in the dim starlight. They were all land floating out of thin air, including the “wasteland” where he and Alice were standing at the moment. They looked like just many broken pieces. Part of the floating island.

The entire “deep sea” is composed of countless broken floating islands. They float in a chaotic space and time covered by the stagnant ancient starry sky. The entire space is filled with a… desolate and death atmosphere.

Duncan withdrew his gaze and looked at the puppet next to him: “Do you have any special feelings now? Can you see or hear any unusual information?”

Alice made a careful distinction and shook her head: “For the time being. No.”

“Well,” Duncan nodded slightly, then raised his hand and pointed into the distance, “Shirley and Agou’s marks are still moving in this direction. Let’s chase them.” “

Okay!” Alice nodded immediately. , while following Duncan’s footsteps, he muttered, “Shirley must be scared…she is actually very timid…Agou is not very timid either…”

The two figures exuding a terrifying aura finally They left in the distance – they didn’t seem to have any intention of causing trouble here.

The skull demon floating crookedly in mid-air was trembling slightly, the red light in its eye sockets flickering on and off. It looked at the direction in which the two uninvited guests were leaving, and for the first time the word “lucky” appeared in its chaotic and ignorant mind. concept.

A death bird with only one leg and half a wing left jumped across the gravel not far away, while two groups of almost flattened horrors slowly wriggled through the cracks in the ground. There are also several ghost hounds that are almost torn apart and are struggling to crawl away.

What a great day.

A long arthropod covered with bone spurs stabbed down from the sky like a sharp sword, nailing a strange demon that was roaring and breathing to the ground. Then the arthropod continued to move forward, striding towards the end of the wilderness.

Twelve symmetrical joints are impaled with countless weird and terrifying demonic creatures, large and small. Some of these twisted and ugly things are still struggling and roaring, but more of them are no longer active, but emit billowing smoke. Gradually transforming into mud.

The owner of the arthropod no longer cared about this – after trekking for an unknown amount of time, she finally arrived at the end of the land.

The earth floating in the chaotic darkness is an island, with only vast nothingness at its end. At the edge of this wilderness, the rocks and soil suddenly stop, and a thin layer of smoke escapes from the edge of the broken earth, like low and flowing clouds. Surrounded by the island.

Shirley cautiously stopped at the end of the land. She used her barbed limbs to jam into the cracks in the rocks. She cautiously looked down at the edge of the floating island, and then quickly looked away.

There is no way.

What’s next?

She was thinking, as if she were a sculpture standing still at the end of the wilderness, as if she were dead for a moment.

But the demons wandering around and hesitating knew that this powerful and terrifying “outsider” was still alive – in her ribcage intertwined with bones, two dark red hearts and a cluster of flames were still beating slowly. It cannot be extinguished.

After an unknown amount of time, Shirley finally woke up from her thoughts. She controlled her limbs and took two steps back, trying to lower her height – she was tired and wanted to sit down and rest for a few minutes.

After several attempts, she sat down awkwardly and slowly, and carefully gathered the bony structure behind her like giant wings of bones behind her back.

She just sat on a big rock, raised her head, and looked at the stagnant starry sky from ancient times in the sky with some trance.

The starry sky was very cold, with a dead and desolate atmosphere lingering around it, like a huge, majestic but lifeless corpse, coldly overlooking everything with billions of eyes.

It was so beautiful, but also a little scary. She felt as if she was about to fall into the dense stars and become a part of them. She also felt as if she was suffocated by them and was pressed here. A broken and desolate land.

What words should be used to describe such a scene and such a feeling?

Shirley thought seriously and hard. She suddenly regretted that she didn’t listen to the captain and read more books. Then she would have a lot of vocabulary, instead of like now, she could only hold back one sentence after thinking for a long time——

“…It’s so f*c*king beautiful…”

Then, footsteps suddenly appeared nearby, interrupting Shirley’s emotion, and causing the surrounding demons hiding in the dark, who were ready to move but were hesitant to retreat, finally retreated.

Shirley slowly turned around and saw a Deep Hound, taller than all the Deep Hounds, with its broken bones floating in the black smoke, walking from the shadows.

It approached cautiously, with green fire burning in its empty eye sockets. It seemed to be hesitating, looking nervous and hesitant. It lingered for a long time more than ten meters away, and then slowly took a few steps closer and took the food in its mouth. A lump of something was placed on the ground.

“…Shirley, I found something to eat…”

This sentence sounded so familiar.
