Um... Lin Feng felt a strange sense of unease as he listened to Fei Yu's words. He knew Fei Yu was lying to him, but he had no choice but to believe her.
"real."
Flying Fish chuckled softly, turned around, and took steps as if dancing.
“Perhaps…” Carol immediately lost interest in the conversation. In essence, she was very resistant to this suddenly added plan, but since Dragon Ern and Lin Feng had both agreed, she was left with no choice.
The four set off again, walking along the mountain ridge and following the flying fish to the foot of a cliff.
"Found it."
After circling around, Flying Fish grabbed onto the rocks and climbed up the crack in the mountain wall. After searching with difficulty, it pushed aside a rock and dug out a crack no bigger than a fist.
Lin Feng jumped up and looked at the broken hole, peering into the crack through the moonlight.
Long and deep, withered roots covered both sides, leaving only a little space to pass through, and in front of them was a stone tablet with carved patterns.
The design simply looks like a circle with three arms and three legs, but it's not hard to see that it's the mark of Guravel, the god of judgment.
Compared to the other three gods with whom he had indirect contact, this one was a more important god. He controlled the world order and rules, the cycle of the Holy Communion, the timing of the intersection between the mortal world and the underworld, and even the selection and evolution of gods.
If Lin Feng is prepared to accept the baptism of this world and devour the other four Holy Communion Openers, he will inevitably have a deep contact with this deity.
At this moment, the cave entrance was widened. Flying Fish reached out and cut off the roots in front of it, glanced back at Lin Feng, and was the first to crawl in.
Lin Feng was a step too slow, and Carol grabbed a protrusion on the rock and crawled in second.
"Mr. Magician?" Renn leaned closer and asked Lin Feng, who was lost in thought, with some concern.
"fine."
Lin Feng waved his hand and went in third.
Including the one in front of him, he has already come into contact with four different divinities since entering this mission world. Is he going to get a big surprise after coming into contact with five divinities?
He walked several dozen meters ahead, when a sudden gust of wind and the sound of collapsing rocks led him into a spacious cave.
From a distance, a huge wall appeared behind the dust, and a stone carving of an octopus-shaped skull with four dark eye sockets emerged from the scattered dust.
Behind the skull is a pentagram with edges like sword blades, surrounded by clusters of marks that surge like a tide.
Snap!
The flying fish lit a torch, and the flickering flame danced among the countless roots. Tentacle carvings that emerged from its head hung down to the ground, as if welcoming the flying fish that continued to approach from below.
"This is..." Lin Feng's gaze sharpened, and he immediately gripped the Ominous Gauntlets in his hand.
Flying Fish looked around, touched the stone carvings on the wall, and then cut off the withered roots around it one by one: "There are some here too... What are these? Are they for us to offer as a sacrifice?"
There are also stone carvings on the walls, depicting little figures praying and drawing strange patterns on the ground.
At this point, Carol destroyed the roots blocking the wall on the other side, but what appeared were not stone carvings, but dozens of miniature human sculptures in various shapes and sizes.
Half of them lost their human form and grew into various strange shapes.
The flying fish circled around to Carol's side, tapping the sculpture in front of her a few times with the blade in its hand, and said sadly, "It doesn't seem to have anything of value..."
As she spoke, her eyes smiled as she looked at Lin Feng, but after noticing anything amiss, she turned her gaze back to the sculptures.
Before long, Carol reached out and grasped a sculpture that was larger than the others, and slowly turned it, revealing another man in robes and armor hidden behind it to the crowd.
"This is an immersion sculpture of the first emperor of the empire."
The sculpture has an emblem on its chest that is exactly the same as the empire's current flag.
“I’ve seen this orc before; there’s a statue of him in the square of the Vulture Kingdom.” Renn also made a discovery: “There are elves and dragonmen here too; they’ve all been carved here.”
"Do you recognize this?" Flying Fish pointed to a slightly large sculpture. Behind the monster's body was another monster, but between them was a sculpture of a shrunken human.
“This sign…” Carol crouched down, staring at the details on it, and murmured, “This looks like something from the Penance Society.”
The Ascetic Order was a group of people who traveled the continent in search of truth.
“I think I’ve seen this person before…” Carol looked incredulously, involuntarily moving closer to see the face on the sculpture more clearly: “It really does look like him…”
"Who is it?" Flying Fish asked casually.
“I don’t…” Carol abruptly stopped herself, turned away from that repulsive face, and retreated to Lin Feng’s side: “Let’s go, the things in that book may not be true.”
Besides these sculptures, what Carol feared most were the stone carvings on the wall in front of her. Looking at these things, her arms trembled involuntarily again.
"Okay." Lin Feng nodded, ignoring Flying Fish, and followed Carol toward the exit.
No matter what, they couldn't possibly follow the instructions on the wall to start a ritual here, or have the flying fish controlled by divinity and become puppets.
After a short wait, Flying Fish caught up and sighed from a distance at the back of the group.
"etc..."
Suddenly, Carol stopped in her tracks, crouched down, and slowly approached the cave entrance: "Someone's there."
Tap tap.
The soft sound of horses' hooves, the flapping of wings, and the light footsteps shone into the cave along with the moonlight.
It's the Empire's army!
"Come out, gentlemen. You've been under our watchful eyes ever since you entered this sea area." A deep voice, tinged with a hint of sharpness, rang out. Carol glanced back unhappily, stepped out of the cave, and slid down.
Feiyu walked out nonchalantly, and Lin Feng pulled Rein one last time, but the other's figure suddenly disappeared before his eyes.
“Lock Whitewell? What are you doing here?” Carol recognized the man in front of her. Looking at the richly dressed fat man, her gaze couldn’t help but sweep over the gold chain inlaid with colorful gems on his chest.
"Hehe, so it's you, Lawson's family... oh, and Miss Mela the Phantom of the Sea." The fat man bowed slightly to the flying fish, then turned his gaze to Lin Feng, who was peeking out of the cave.
Locke Whitewell, the cunning governor of the Empire, is one of the important characters in the game.
After a brief moment of thought, the cunning Locke couldn't recall any information about Lin Feng. His eyes darted around, and he remarked with a sigh, "How lucky! I never expected to run into two acquaintances on this journey. Hmm... let me guess, you were the one who opened my auction item back then, weren't you?"
Locke looked at Flying Fish, who shrugged indifferently, seemingly unconcerned.
“Then… this time we really can’t let you leave.” Locke’s scepter spun in the air, and after a faint flash of light, the knights hidden nearby immediately lit their torches.
"By the way, it seems your ship has run away."
