In the second mural, it is still the black vortex and the shadow clan crawling on the ground. But there are many other creatures around the black vortex, including the fish man they saw at the entrance and the lizard dragon they met now. It's just that the strokes of the shadow family just leave a silhouette of the body outline. God knows whether those lives evolved these years ago.
But it is undeniable that it was the so-called dark god who created or influenced other life variants that created these alien beasts. In the picture, the silhouettes of these fierce beasts revolve around the black vortex in the middle. After watching for a long time, there is a feeling that they are thrown out by the vortex.
The theme of the third mural has changed. The shadow clan is at war with some fierce beasts, and other fierce beasts are their own enemies. The whole picture is full of only one theme: war!
Just a picture, but let the painter of the shadow clan outline a silent battlefield with simple and sharp strokes. Just looking at it, you can feel the tragedy of the battlefield from those black-and-white pictures. The smell of killing quietly escaped from these black-and-white pictures.
Next, the picture is changed. The shadow clan appeared on a high slope. Behind them was the battlefield and a black vortex. It is worth noting that the shadow people in this picture have walked upright. The tall and thin silhouette in the front of the picture, with his head tilted slightly behind the battlefield, makes people feel that he is looking back.
At this time, the shadow people should evolve wisdom and intend to leave the eternal battlefield underground. The eternal battlefield is the Titan hall in the mouth of the black owl. Think of the battlefield that can accommodate so many monsters during the battle. Its space is so large that it can be called Titan hall.
Next is the process of the shadow people coming to the forward base, which is shown in murals. The murals are silent, but from these portraits, it is not difficult to see the hardships of the process. When leaving the eternal battlefield, the number of shadow people is still large. However, in the picture of the forward base, the number can only be described as scarce.
Perhaps the reason why the shadow clan is few in number is that they are chased and attacked by too many fierce beasts in the process of migration. Almost all that accompanied them along the way was fighting and blood. On the way out of the abyss, under every footprint, there are the blood and bones of the shadow people. They paid a huge price to get out of this Shura killing field.
This can be called the fate of the shadow people. It is precisely because of this migration path that they have the opportunity to change their fate. Now, zero, they can push back to the second passage to Titan hall through this road of fate.
But in the meantime, there are several pictures that make zero feel puzzled.
First, in the second mural before arriving at the Qianjin base, there is an endless abyss in that picture, which is expressed in dark strokes. There was a little blank during the period, and outside the abyss were human like creatures with bat wings. The shadow people fought with these creatures, which obviously lived in the abyss. In the upper left corner of this mural, a skeleton is painted, and there are three signs like this on the migration road of the shadow people. Usually marked with this sign means that you can't pass and can only find another way out.
But if you read it correctly, the abyss should be the wall of the abyss after passing through the devil's throat. It is also the way forward marked by the black owl. If the bat man in the mural is not dead, is it the trap deliberately set by the black owl? But it doesn't make sense. If the black owl still wants him, how can he kill him.
Zero shook his head. The shadow people have left the earth for many years. Maybe those bat people have died long ago, so the black owl can go to the Titan hall through the wall of the abyss to get the seeds of the dark god and return to the ground.
Secondly, in the process of migration, the shadow people were obviously chased and killed by fierce animals such as lizards. In that picture, the shadow people and lizards chase on an open ground. After the two, there is a huge shadow. The shadow has a blank similar to the eyes. I don't know whether it is a symbolic meaning or a shadow of a giant beast.
If the latter is not exaggerated by the shadow family painter, then taking the lizard dragon as a reference, this giant beast has reached the body size of the abyss Lord level.
With the dome, this group of murals is equal to zero. They found another route to Titan hall. When the team takes a rest in the hall, zero records the route and names it according to some special terrain in the picture as the propulsion node of the route.
Taking the forward base of the shadow family here as the starting point, in the picture of the forward base, there is a stone pillar connected to the cave dome on one side. Starting from the Optimus pillar, you will see a huge mushroom forest. Just from the picture, I don't know whether they are umbrella shaped stones or real giant mushrooms. Taking the shadow clan as a reference in the picture, the shortest of these mushrooms is as high as two floors.
There is a river in the mushroom forest, and on the other side of the river is a canyon. The shape of the canyon is a bit like the bones of some prehistoric giant beast. Zero calls it the giant beast canyon. If you come out of the giant beast Canyon, you must pass through the plain where the shadow people are chased by the lizard dragon. The place where zero doubt is the home of the sauropod, that is to say, if they take the migration road of the shadow clan, they are bound to pass through the territory of the sauropod, and may even hit the giant beast suspected to be an abyss.
If you can choose, zero doesn't want to pass through the territory of those lizards. But now he had no choice. After passing through the territory of the lizard dragon, he turned over the high slope that the shadow people looked back when they left. The next convenience is the eternal battlefield, which is where the Titan hall is located.
The route is clear and clear. I just don't know how long it will take them to follow. After all, the shadow clan only left a picture, but did not mark the specific mileage of the road of destiny.
Fortunately, there should be no shortage of food and water. In addition to what the black owl provides, they can hunt underground creatures when necessary. Coupled with the river that almost crosses the whole underground space, there should be no shortage of water.
After 20 minutes, the team set off. They came out from the other end of the forward base. First, they looked around the periphery of the base and found the natural stone pillar. The stone pillars are connected to the vault of the underground cave, which are winding and afraid of being tens of meters high. The upper end is completely submerged in the darkness, and even the lamp post of the searchlight cannot penetrate the darkness.
Taking the stone pillar as a reference, he set the direction and led the team to the front. Walking in the dark is boring. The lamp post can only illuminate a place more than ten meters away, and this flat land lacks reference. After walking for a long time, the feeling of losing direction appears again.
During this period, Jin fired another flare. In the light of the fire, you can vaguely see some umbrella shaped shadow contours in front of the left side, which should be the giant mushroom forest passed by the shadow clan. They just wanted to move forward, but in fact, due to the deviation of feeling, the direction has deviated greatly. If it weren't for the flare, they would be lost in the dark.
But the number of flares is also small. It's not easy to find these things in Hakala. With the ability of the black owl, you can only get ten shots. Now they have used three rounds, and the road ahead is still long, so they have to save some.
Before the afterglow of the flare was about to go out, they finally approached the edge of the giant mushroom forest in a hurry. When you get close to here, you can feel that the humidity in the air has increased, and you can hear the sound of water flow faintly. The river that witnessed the whole migration process of the shadow people is somewhere in the giant mushroom forest. Hit it, you can go to the second forward node giant beast canyon.
However, once you get close to the giant mushroom forest, you can feel the activity of underground organisms. The fat mole killed by the lizard is particularly active here. From time to time, a fat rat can be seen running under the light column in front of the team. These animals are sensitive and alert. When they find something wrong, they try their best to drill into the ground.
Zero walked a few steps, stopped, squatted down and pinched the soil on the ground. Here, the soil becomes relatively soft, not as hard and cold as it was when it first came ashore by the lake. The soft soil layer also gave birth to a large number of mutant moles. However, seeing this creature at the bottom of the underground biological chain is not necessarily a good thing.
They are almost the common prey of those alien beasts. If a large number of prey gather, it will be strange not to attract hunters. The giant mushroom forest is already in sight. Of course, zero has no intention of turning back or finding another way. It just wants everyone to pay more attention. Leah kept a mental scan and kept an eye on the movements around the team in case of accidents.
When I got closer, I found that those giant mushrooms were neither natural stones nor fungus fossils. But real plants. They have lived in this dark underground world for many years. Each giant mushroom is at least two floors high. The mushroom umbrella is opened and almost covers the space above the head. Standing under the mushroom umbrella, you can even see the thick fibers inside. Mushrooms are a kind of fungi. Even if they are huge, they can't live without this compendium. Therefore, in this area without light, other plants cannot grow, and giant mushrooms that do not need photosynthesis grow well.
After entering the giant mushroom forest, they found that there were some fluorescent things on the surface of the mushroom umbrella. They emit lights of various colors in the quiet and dark space. Those should be luminescent bacteria, which coexist with giant mushrooms. Zero and one simply turned off the searchlight. Without this strong light source, their sight was still dim at first. But gradually, the brightness of those luminescent bacteria became more and more obvious. In the end, the luminescent bacteria created colorful light bands, full of a kind of dreamlike beauty.
If you are not immersive, who would believe that there are such beautiful scenery in the dark world without light. Attracted by these light bacteria, those fat moles haunt the ground near the team, eating huge dried bacteria. At this time, the light bacteria on those mushroom umbrellas will fall, like a light rain.
Just behind beauty is often the fatal truth. Not long after these light bacteria fell on the moles, some moles suddenly died. But the light bacteria on them still shine, which makes people cold.
