Despite the pain, Lin Feng continued to charge forward. This horned rune grew onto his soul, onto the rune of his life will, and merged with his mind and soul.
"san-10"
"san-5"
"san-3"
"san-1"
As time passed, the value began to decrease. Unknowingly, it broke through the muddy forest and surpassed the lighthouse's light, arriving in an even whiter expanse of water, and stood on a reef submerged in the water.
Beyond the reef lies a bottomless blackness, where the seawater becomes extremely calm, yet also extremely heavy, surging beneath the surface.
Is that all?
Lin Feng lay on the reef, panting heavily, and looked at the legs of the dark figure beside him through the torn corners of his eyes.
After a brief silence, the figure in darkness took a small step back, and the slight upturn of his lips drew Lin Feng's gaze to the other side.
call...
Two tiny tentacles appeared before his eyes, and then the seawater separated, with a sound coming from the seabed. Countless tentacles parted the seawater, causing the entire sea surface to boil.
Wow!
The waves washed over his face, and a huge dark shadow rose from his eyes, obscuring the light of the world.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Feng's dazed eyes finally came to life. The figure in the darkness strolled out of his sight as if taking a leisurely walk, pointing to the spot where the light had settled in the distance.
The fog dissipated, and the appearance of the huge black shadow caused the fog to surge, revealing part of the obelisk that had been hidden in the fog.
"Go unlock the key, your time is running out."
As the figure in darkness spoke, he disappeared from Lin Feng's sight. Lin Feng, who had gradually recovered, raised his arm, which had been restored to its original state, and stood up as if nothing had happened.
After a hollow fear, Lin Feng walked step by step to the foot of the obelisk, passing over rocks carved with various patterns, and arrived at the base of the tower illuminated by lights.
The Dark Ones will not let him die here. Sending him to the face of a mighty force he cannot resist is far less desirable than letting him actively face the destruction brought by that force, or even hastening it!
At the base of the tower are seven diamond-shaped stones, each with a different pattern and some holes that resemble wormholes.
Not far from the wormhole are four diamond-shaped holes, just big enough to fit these stones.
Swirl pattern, snake pattern, comb pattern, seahorse pattern, leaf pattern, recorder pattern, trident pattern.
No prompt?
Lin Feng had a few brief thoughts that flashed through his mind before quickly fading away.
There seemed to be no clues on the obelisk, and the grooves seemed to be indistinguishable from one another; everything appeared to be normal.
After a short wait, Lin Feng silently closed his eyes, forcefully suppressing the growing, unspoken fear in his heart. He casually picked up four and slammed them onto the obelisk in front of him.
Creak, creak... Several tentacles suddenly emerged from the holes in the rock, stroked his skin, grabbed the rock, and pulled it into the rock wall.
Click, click, click... A square hole opened in the obelisk ahead, and a black triangular object fell out, rolled a few times in mid-air, and landed in Lin Feng's hand.
"The Observer's Eye"
Lin Feng caught it, and the black color on it left several streaks in the air before returning to the triangular body a few seconds later.
After a slight hesitation, a black halo flashed before Lin Feng's eyes, and an extremely tall figure crouching down slowly lowered its head to look at him.
As the halo faded, the black from the Observer's Eye on Lin Feng's hand seeped into his arm, leaving patches of black marks that stained it with a stone-like color.
At that moment, the obelisk in front of them moved, and four slender legs emerged from the seawater, carrying the obelisk slowly into the thick fog.
Once his vision returned to normal, Lin Feng had a new idea in his mind: he needed to bring the Observer's Eye back to the lighthouse, place the eye in front of the lighthouse's mirror, and use this light to illuminate the lighthouse.
Returning peacefully, Lin Feng easily passed through the monsters' encirclement, climbed the lighthouse, and returned to Lear's side: "How long has it been?"
“Two hours,” Lear replied quickly.
Two hours isn't a long time... Upon hearing this, Lin Feng leaned against the edge of the lighthouse and plopped down on his back.
Those two hours felt like a year to him...
Seeing the fear in Lin Feng's eyes, Lear sighed silently, looked at the lighthouse's nearly burnt-out grease, and sat down beside it: "If only we had a Maxim machine gun."
He was in the same boat back then, but at least Lin Feng was able to come back alive, while he was dragged back by someone else.
"oh?"
Hearing the sighs around him, Lin Feng couldn't help but chuckle: "Do you think you can fight your way out?"
“Of course!” Lear nodded matter-of-factly. If he had two tanks, he was confident he could drive right into the fog. “It’s a pity we don’t have any, otherwise I would have shown them what humans are capable of!”
After saying that, Lear sighed again: "Luckily, the area around the lighthouse is safe, otherwise I don't know how I could have survived for so long."
Lin Feng smiled and said, "It would be best to have two, so that we can take turns firing when we reload."
“Hahaha, yes, that makes sense!” Lear nodded immediately.
Seemingly relaxing a bit, and with his wavering will returning to normal somewhat, Lin Feng stood up again and went behind the mirror.
The Observer's Eye was brought out, and the black objects on it sensed the mirror, autonomously sending out black tentacles that attempted to approach the mirror.
"Have they come back?" Lin Feng suddenly asked Li Er, glancing at the mirror.
Lear replied, "That woman came back. It seems she took something from the second floor and went in that direction."
Um?
Lin Feng toyed with the Observer's Eye in his hand, which was trying to get closer to the mirror. A smile appeared on his lips. After stepping out of the mirror, he arrived at the second floor of the lighthouse.
After a quick glance around, he clearly remembered that the pile of debris on one side of the lighthouse had been covered by pieces of cloth, but now it had been unearthed.
What used to be stored here?
“These are images and texts carved from various places by the last living person, as well as some small jewels collected from the beach.” Lear walked over, opened several boxes, and took out some shell jewelry that was severely weathered.
As I flipped through the pages, a photograph fell out.
Lin Feng stared intently and saw a huge shadow with two very obvious eyes in the blurry background bending down from the thick fog and coming behind the man in the photograph.
Upon closer inspection, the pointed head above the shadow seemed to bear a striking resemblance to the pointed head he had seen before.
At that moment, the figure in the darkness suddenly appeared beside the photograph, a faint smile spreading around as Lear picked up the photograph.
“This photo…I don’t think I’ve seen it before. Could it be stuck somewhere?” Lear frowned. “Huh? No, this reef is on the nearby coast, but I’ve never seen a sculpture like this here before.”
The photo was held up, and Lear approached Lin Feng, pointing to the blank space within it. He asked疑惑地问道, "Could it be someone from before? But where would such a large sculpture go?"
sculpture?
Lin Feng looked at it again, and apart from the huge shadow, there was no sculpture that Lear had mentioned.
"Could it have been taken by those monsters?"
Lear began to talk to himself.
