Chapter 372: Ancient Soul Devouring Swamp
Thor did not look back along the way. He just helped Agu when he lost his balance.
There was no more sound of tentacles flapping behind him, as if after An, they had lost their target.
The two men stumbled all the way, not even daring to speak, and rushed to the palace with difficulty.
When the two stepped onto the land again, the white gate of the palace opened quietly, as if someone was welcoming them in.
Thor did not stay in the small open space in front of the palace, but walked through the gate and entered the palace without hesitation.
Agu naturally followed him closely.
After entering the palace, there is a circular hall. At the end of the hall is an arch, and behind the arch is another circular hall.
One hall is connected to another, one to another, with no end in sight.
Just like two mirrors facing each other, the images inside are endless.
It looks very strange here. From the outside, the palace doesn't seem that big.
But it's quiet here.
Just like when they first entered the dead season.
The door closed automatically after the two people entered.
There were no windows here, and the view immediately became dark as the two entered the room.
But there were candles burning around the hall, barely bringing a dim light.
The palace seemed safe for the time being.
“Plop!”
Agu knelt down in front of Thor.
After Thor reminded them that magic would attract attacks from tentacles, Agu also thought of letting one person attract the tentacles so that the others could escape.
But at the last moment, he hesitated.
In the situation just now, Thor had no time to retrieve the consciousness. If the container was destroyed, he didn't know whether he would die with it.
Agu...can't die yet.
Therefore, Agu, who obviously reacted faster than An, did not make the same choice as An.
Thor didn't pay attention to Agu immediately. His eyes were deep as he was checking the diary in his mind.
The white pages of the book were turning quickly, and almost instantly reached the last few pages.
When Thor saw the only black page belonging to Ann, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The powerless unwillingness faded away, and cold anger began to linger in my heart.
"Since those strange humanoids and black tentacles are driving us towards the palace, let me see what is here."
The diary did not indicate that Thor must enter the palace, but this palace could actually withstand the terrifying black tentacles and strange humanoid figures outside, so it must be no simple task.
"Get up." Thor calmly asked Agu to get up.
Agu still felt a little guilty, but when he saw that Thor didn't seem that angry, he felt somewhat relieved.
He stood up and tried to make up for it.
"Master, those outside are probably the same as Xiaozao, they are all Soul Devouring Demon Swamps."
Thor nodded, "But they are obviously much stronger than the algae."
Xiao Zao fell into a deep sleep after eating the cryptocrystalline here. Is the Soul Devouring Swamp so powerful because of the cryptocrystalline? How many souls did the Soul Devouring Swamp devour to grow to the size of a hill?
"This is just one of the elves' settlements, yet there is such a terrifying existence here. Places related to elves are indeed full of dangers."
Thor took a deep breath, looked up at the ring-like hall in front of him, and whispered, "Everyone is in, let's go take a look."
He felt a familiar breath here, which, along with his intuition, called him forward.
…
On the lawn dotted with irregular white houses, Cassiro, who had been sitting on the ground with her knees hugged with a sluggish look on her face, suddenly jumped up.
"Fire, fire, fire..." She screamed desperately and danced on the spot.
"Why is she crazy again?" Monroe frowned in disgust. He looked at Kong Sha again, "Saul has come in, but he obviously couldn't solve our problem. Now he is attacked in the forest, and I don't know if he is still alive..."
Hearing this, Mark looked up at the direction where Thor left, hesitated for a moment and said, "How about I go find him."
Kong Sha sneered and glanced over. "Since you were worried about him, why didn't you follow the two bodyguards when they left just now? It's been such a long time before you thought of looking for him. Are you really going to look for him? Or are you going to look for something else?"
Monroe looked over suspiciously and Mark immediately shut up.
"He must be dead, he must be dead! We will be like him, and eventually turn into ashes and become their food!"
Casiro was tired of dancing and sat down on the ground.
Monroe sighed and covered his face with his hands. "I don't think we can escape. What treasure did you take? I really beg you to return it. Otherwise, we really can't escape. We will die here."
At this point, Monroe put his hand down again, "Maybe dying is a good thing..."
Suddenly, the earth shook, and several nervous wizard apprentices all jumped up and looked in the direction of the forest in astonishment.
They saw black tentacles that covered the sky and the sun growing from the dark gray mountains in the distance.
The tentacles kept twisting, and the four wizard apprentices, looking at it from such a distance, felt a chill in their hearts and their legs trembled.
Casiro threw herself to the ground, muttering something.
Mark gritted his teeth and spoke out from his lips, "What did Thor do to alarm the ancient Soul Devouring Swamp?"
Kong Sha narrowed her eyes and raised her hand to gently touch her cheek. "Who knows? He always surprises and scares people."
…
The two men were on high alert, observing from the rotunda.
There was no decoration in the first hall and nothing unusual was found, so they quickly walked into the second hall.
The structure here is exactly the same as the first hall, except there are more chairs.
The chairs were lying on the ground in all directions, as if they had been deliberately pushed over by someone.
Thor remembered Mark saying that they were once attacked by the furniture decorations here, and several apprentices died before they escaped.
But when he checked the fallen chairs, he did not sense any unusual aura on them.
Of course, he couldn't completely trust his own judgment now. This Elf Valley was strange and unusual, and many things didn't conform to the common sense he had learned.
After all, a great terror had befallen the elves, and the items they left behind alone could drive people crazy, not to mention an entire settlement.
Therefore, everything that happens here cannot be viewed with the usual eyes.
Thor then entered the third and fourth halls.
The decoration of each hall is exactly the same, but each hall has many more things than the previous one.
When Sol and Agu arrived at the fifth hall, there were already a lot of furniture and exquisite paintings on the walls. There were heavy satin curtains on both sides of the circular hall.
But when Thor looked behind the curtains, he found that there was still a wall and no windows.
Since there are no windows, why hang curtains? Thor looked back at Agu, but Agu was also full of doubts.
Although he is also a ghost who is over a hundred years old, he doesn't know much about elves.
It was not until they entered the ninth hall that a dark door finally appeared in front of them, and spiral staircases appeared on both sides.
At this point, the distance they had traveled was far beyond the depth of the palace that could be seen by the outside world.
"If we want to continue exploring, we should go upstairs. But there are two staircases...which one should we choose?"
The staircase on the left looked normal, but it made a semi-arc and led to the second floor.
The stairs on the right are very strange.
It grows wildly in the air like a vine, with no regard for how people walk on it.
If you walk along the stairs, the middle part of your body will be parallel to the floor, and the last part will even make you upside down in the air, and then sink into the wall on the right side instead of the second floor.
The stairs on the left, which seemed completely normal, appear even more bizarre in comparison with the stairs on the right.
