Chapter 7 The door, the beginning of the legend(1/2)
"Glow?" Fang Yu was stunned for a moment and asked in a low voice.
The eight dark red eyes behind the dust were moving slowly, pairs of blade feet inserted into the hard stone wall, and the giant roared and clawed, climbing up the gap.
But no one dared to act rashly until it stopped.
Fang Yu looked at the giant insect in a carefully manner, and strangely found that the other party had no further movements, and just lay on the gap and looked at him steadily. He didn't know if it was called or not, but he always felt this way in his heart.
"It seems to be looking at you?" Even the female wanderer of Silver Eagle discovered this and asked curiously: "What exactly is there in your backpack?" Because she and Fang Yu were side by side, she could not see Sikape's perspective.
Fang Heng swallowed for a moment, and said to the back behind him without looking sideways: "Miss Sikape, help me take off my backpack." While staring at the giant insect in his arms, he raised his hands little by little, for fear that the ghost thing would be stimulated by excessive movements.
As he said, everyone's eyes focused on Scappe.
Even though she was so sophisticated, she couldn't help but sweat on her forehead. She took a breath and calmed herself down, cursing the stinky brat. She walked over carefully, staring at the huge object in the gap. Seeing that it was motionless, she grabbed the shoulder strap of Fang Zhu's backpack.
The giant insect suddenly let out a sharp whistle and squirmed forward for a while.
Querode subconsciously raised his giant sword and took a step forward.
This scared everyone to scream, looking for cover in various ways. "Stop it!" Sikape shouted in anger, and at the same time he pulled his backpack off Fang Zhu and threw it on the ground in front.
A low sound came from the inside of the giant insect, and it stopped suddenly. All the hydraulic transmission devices under the metal body were sinking, and the oil drizzled out.
Its eyes fell off the square leopard for the first time and fell on the backpack.
Scape finally breathed a sigh of relief, and she seemed to be exhausted. This simple action made her sweat.
The backpack is really glowing, as if it is a flashlight underneath. The thick canvas cannot block the faint light. The blue-blue light reflects the fine intertwined patterns of the canvas into a tiny detail.
Fang Yu was stunned when he saw the light: "Is this..." He suddenly remembered something, and showed an incredible look on his face, and rushed over and opened his backpack eagerly.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but sweat for him. Sikape looked at it carefully - fortunately, the giant in the structure was motionless as if he was asleep, and only looked at Fang Zhu's movements with a dark red gaze.
Fang Zhu's hands were covered in blood scabs and his movements were clumsy. Sikape shook his head and walked up to help him, "Thank you, Miss Sikape." Fang Zhu lifted the cloth lid of the backpack, and the light suddenly became brighter. He was stunned for a moment before holding the thing up with both hands.
The light blue glow suddenly brightened. Square leopard seemed to have taken out a small sun from his backpack. The light made his face snow-white, and the dazzling light even darkened the surroundings. In the center of the light was a crystal dagger, blue and blue, and the gorgeous silver ornaments carved out its handguard and sword hilt. The angels spreading their wings and the singing birds surrounded the glorious goddess. The light was expressed by bright silver patterns, showing the craftsmanship of the maker.
The dagger is star-shaped, with straight lines hidden in the crystal blade, forming a magic array of alchemy formulas. This is a very high-end design idea, usually only used on combat tools that require a lot of magic. However, the crystal is covered with hideous scars, and one of the cracks even destroys its structure from the inside.
Light radiated from the cracks for no reason, seeping into every inch of the corners it could enter, the gap between soil, vegetation and remains stone slabs.
This dazzling light reflected in the depths of Fang Yu's eyes, and he couldn't help but be stunned - wasn't this the dagger Mi Ya gave him?
A strange thought suddenly arose in his mind. Although a voice tried his best to tell him that it was just a coincidence, he couldn't help but think randomly. "Ed?" Scappe called him.
But Fang Zhu seemed to have never heard of it.
At this moment, the giant insect suddenly made a low whimper and stood up. Everyone was so scared that they all took a step back. Only Sikape grabbed Fang Zhu and wanted to drag him away, and Quelorde also stood on the other side of him.
Fang Zhu was still in a daze.
The giant insect incorporated crawled along the wall like a dark dragon. The hard wall cracked under its blade like flour. Only then did everyone see its full picture for the first time—it was suffocating, it was astonishingly fast, its huge head had arrived in front of the young alchemist in a blink of an eye, and its long torso spanned the entire wall—the tail at the other end was still under the gap, and there was no head at all.
The giant insect stopped, and four pairs of eyes stared at the tiny boy under his nose. The distance between it and the square leopard was less than ten feet.
The square leopard could almost smell the steam in the air.
But the temperature is falling instead.
The woman from Silver Yi was so cold that she said indifferently: "Its core crystal is ice feldspar. Ancient alchemy can allow it to absorb heat and convert it into magic... Also, it is not just as big as you see..."
But no one cares what she said, everyone is frozen in place.
Sikape's hand stopped on Fang Zhu's shoulder and did not dare to breathe any more. She carefully moved her vision upwards, looking at the consecrated beast - it also made a low roar inside, like a pulsing mechanical heart. In the huge trembling sound, the humans around it became more and more insignificant.
A collapsed wall collapsed from the side, and the gravel rolled to Fang Zhu's feet with a 'sudden'. Only then did he wake up, look at the giant creature, and subconsciously raise the dagger in his hand.
With a roar, the constructed giant insect moved upwards. The four pairs of dark red eyes raised high, scaring everyone to swallow for a while, and Sikape's hands turned white.
But after a while.
It also has no further action.
Fang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and then he carefully put down the dagger.
With the dull low sound of the boiler, the huge metal head slowly sank with his gestures, and the dark red eyes moved, and their eyes were always focused on the dagger in his hand.
It slightly opened its mouthpiece, and the oral cavity made of steel is full of dark red gears, dry blood and rust.
"Give it." Scape said softly.
"But... that's Miya's dagger." Fang Yu was in a dilemma.
"I knew it was that damn woman," Scappe said loudly: "Do you go over, do you want her to kill us all?"
And it was at this time that new changes occurred.
Fang Yu himself didn't pay attention. On his blood-stained hand, the wound was seeping into the crystal. It was at this moment that a strange entry appeared quietly in the upper left of his vision:
The Dragon Knight system is loading, self-test carrier—
Then a whole set of interfaces hang down like a waterfall. Page windows open in the field of view, as if they are completing self-test work. Countless data and graphics are reflected deep in his eyes. He is very familiar with the UI, which is the basic window for the candidate.
But all this was like an illusion, disappearing in a blink of an eye, leaving only a single entry.
The Dragon Knight system is loading, self-test failed, and no carrier crystal was found—
In the end, even this sentence faded out of sight, as if the passing wind and sand left no trace.
The whole process was completed in less than half a second. Fang Yu blinked his eyes and seemed to have an illusion. "Have you seen anything?" he asked in confusion.
Of course everyone saw it.
But what they saw was that the radiant crystal dagger quickly lost its brightness on Fang Yu's hand and became dimmed. The change in the light was so great that Fang Yu also reacted. He turned around and happened to see the scene where the dagger was completely dark.
The female wanderer of Silver Evil suddenly made a surprised voice: "On your forehead..."
But a deafening roar made everyone unable to help but cover their ears, and even felt nauseous and dizzy. Everyone's heads were empty, and the giant insect suddenly stood upright, almost as high as seven or eight floors, looking down at everyone.
Fang Zhu held a dagger that had completely lost any luster.
The four pairs of dark red eyes looked at him with coldness, waved countless metal blades, let out a whistle scream from inside his body, and then suddenly sank down.
"Do not!"
He finally heard Sikape screaming.
Someone pushed him from behind.
It was pitch black.
I don’t know how long it took, when Fang Yu woke up, he didn’t even know if he had returned to Xinggang. He couldn’t see his five fingers around him, and his body felt as if it was cracking. He moaned and finally remembered what had happened before.
This at least means that he is still in Aitalia. He felt his heart beating in the darkness and pulsating vigorously, but his heart gradually calmed down. Fang Zhu tried to move, and the surroundings were covered with gravel. It seemed that it was inside a tunnel in the underground. There seemed to be water seeping in some place nearby, and the sound of dripping water was dripping.
He fumbled for a while, but could no longer find his backpack. Fortunately, there was a box of matches in his pocket. He lit the matches, and the bright light illuminated the dark underground. This was a low corridor. The flame outlined the gaps of each stone, and the twisted roots grew from above and spread on the floor everywhere.
The flame burned to the tip of his fingers, and Fang Zhu hurriedly threw it out.
The fire went out and the surroundings returned to darkness.
It seems to be on the lower floor of the ruins. They seem to have arrived here with the collapsed superstructure, but the others have gone somewhere, and the terrifying giant of structures.
Square purse lit up the second match again.
The orange warm light made the underground tunnel warmer, but the shadows of the stones and roots were dragged long. The square leopard drew its head and walked forward carefully. There had never been anyone underground for many years. As the fire extended forward, he saw many colorful beetles moving under the root system, making people's scalp numb.
The sound of dripping water is getting closer and closer.
Suddenly, a pale face appeared in front of him, but the flames suddenly went out.
It was pitch black.
Fang Yu jumped heavily in his heart, and he lit the third match in a hurry, and the light shone again. As expected, he saw that it was Sikape. Most of her body was buried under the gravel and soil. Her face was pale and lifeless, but she was still holding his huge backpack tightly in her hand.
Fang Zhu felt a heavy blow.
He threw the match on the ground, rushed over and pulled Sikape out from under the gravel like a desperate attempt. The wound on his hand soon cracked again, and blood flowed like a stream, dyeing the soil below red. But Fang Zhuan had no idea and dragged Sikape out from below.
"Miss Scappe."
"Miss Sikape?" Fang Rong shouted the other party's name in a low voice, but received no response. He suddenly recalled the previous voice and understood who the person who pushed him away in the end was. His nose couldn't help but feel sore, and it was finally impossible for him to burst into tears.
But it was at this moment that a low cough came from the darkness, weak and powerless.
Fang Yu was so surprised that he seemed to have won a lot of attention. He quickly drew a match. The bright and warm light illuminated Sikape's unhappy expression. She said weakly: "You can't be gentle?" But when she saw Fang Yu's slightly trembling and bloody hands, the words behind her were choked in her throat.
The light of the match also reflected Fang Zhu's face. He couldn't help laughing with tears, and he was as stupid as a child.
"Childish." Scape shook his head gently.
Fang Yu didn't care at all and wiped the corners of his eyes. The corridor was low and suffocated in the swaying light of the matches, and the black shadows were scattered. This world was not as perfect as he imagined.
But, it's fine.
"Miss Scape, can you walk?"
Sikape gave him a blank look: "Do you think I can walk around?"
Before he finished speaking, the entire corridor shook for a while, and dust fell from the ceiling. Fang Yu raised his head alertly, clearly feeling that the source of shock was above his head, and the thing had not left yet!
"It seems that it is up to you." Scape could even laugh and teased him in a slight way.
Fang Zhu was not as optimistic as hers and said with some concern: "This place collapsed from above, and it must not be able to stop it. We have to leave this place quickly and I will carry you." He thought for a while. "...I don't know what Mr. Quelorde and the others are doing."
To be continued...
