Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

Everything was presented in front of the three people. It was not a vast and boundless alien space. They were just standing on a raised dust pile at this time.

The central area of ​​the temple is a black pillar that extends upwards infinitely. Most of the bullets Bai Ning shot just now are embedded in it.

This pillar is hidden in the powerful halo of the light pillar, making it difficult to tell where it extends.

Everyone expected that shooting would cause some noise, and also expected that shooting would have no effect, but they definitely did not expect that an unknown light would appear.

“The temple in the dark is strange and inexplicable, but it’s just like that when the lights are turned on.

It seems that our previous guesses about this place were all wrong. There is nothing enshrined here, only some inexplicable accumulation of dust. "

For Jiang Yingxue, the things in the temple were completely dead when exposed to light. Without the blessing of darkness, the mystery here disappeared, and all that was left was boring.

Being teased here for a long time by a black pillar sounds very funny, but the simpler something is, the less simple it is.

If the key core things are not buried under the dust, then this pillar is the existence that can communicate with the soul.

In ordinary forms of religion, a statue of a certain god is worshiped, but in ancient tribal religions, it is a totem pole.

This seemingly undecorated black pillar probably had some totems carved on its top, but they couldn't observe it due to the interference of light from the top.

"The totem pole is also a form of religious worship. It can cause a deviation in consciousness at the soul level, allowing us to circle endlessly in this temple. This is its power.

Although we are in the light area now, no one knows what will happen if we get close to this stone pillar.

Maybe we can't even get close to this stone pillar. "

Bai Ning was as conservative as ever in his judgment about this place, and he did not let down his guard at all about this temple that had made them go around countless circles.

The receding darkness only greatly enhanced their visual senses, but this temple had not promised anyone that being able to see was not necessarily the same as being easy.

"The dome of the temple has been overturned, but this stone pillar is still standing here. The dust on the ground is even more strange. Does this stone pillar have other more powerful functions?"

Jiang Yingxue came back from her brief boring mood. No matter how simple the mechanism here was, it was still a powerful mechanism beyond their understanding.

Regarding the understanding of the soul, they tend to rely more on past experience. They still need to have a certain degree of awe for this powerful existence that can turn the concept of soul into a totem pole.

"As I said before, if you want to understand all this, you have to wait until you get closer."

After Bai Ning finished speaking, he raised his legs and walked towards the black pillar. But as soon as he took a step, his whole head started to sway as if the world was spinning.

The entire field of vision completely lost control of the sense of direction, and the 360-degree scene rotated crazily like a revolving lantern.

The full return of vision does not seem to be a good thing. When taking a step, all sense of direction is lost at this moment.

A feeling of fatigue that seemed to come from the depths of his soul suddenly hit him, causing Bai Ning to subconsciously close his eyes.

His vision returned to darkness, and the dizziness in his mind finally subsided.

"what happened?"

Jiang Yingxue suddenly fell to the ground while the world was spinning. Aaron wanted to help her, but his symptoms became more serious due to his unstable soul. He stretched out his hands in the opposite direction, and finally fell to the ground together. land.

"Close your eyes."

Bai Ning shouted this warning and tried to open his eyes again, but the spinning feeling seemed to enter his brain along with the surrounding light, making Bai Ning give up the attempt instantly.

"Visual vision has become an obstacle for us now. Can we go to the pillar in the distance with our eyes closed?"

Bai Ning asked, but received a long silence.

The two people had completely lost their sense of direction in their previous movements. In addition, people walked in arcs with their eyes closed. No one could guarantee that they would reach the previous pillar with their eyes closed.

Even if you want to open your eyes midway and correct your course of action, no one knows whether this spinning feeling will become more intense as you get closer to the pillar.

Furthermore, the loss of direction is only the initial stage. If there is another negative effect, it is unclear whether they can maintain their sanity in the end.

The entire temple seemed to enhance everyone's visual feedback, but in fact it inspired a more powerful coping mechanism, and even completely deprived everyone of visual feedback.

"I lost all sense of direction. Even if I wanted to open my eyes, I couldn't. The whole world seemed to be spinning.

Is this also an attack based on the soul level? "

Jiang Yingxue tried to open her eyes and continue to observe. Not to mention whether she saw the actual scene, she couldn't tell whether the scene she saw at first glance was the scene directly in front of her, just like a revolving lantern. .

The eyes can correct the path of travel, provided that the eyes can determine the path reference. The eyes that can only capture meaningless scenes are actually no different from being blind.

"The previous attack may have activated some kind of defense function of the black pillar. There is an inexplicable excitement in my heart now, and I cannot suppress it normally.

This kind of excited mood swing is prompting me to make some non-subjective actions, such as opening my eyes, running and other abnormal actions.

This impulse is difficult to suppress. If I make any unusual and dangerous moves later, you can kill me directly. "

Just when Bai Ning and Jiang Yingxue were discussing the current difficult situation, Aaron's sudden words shocked both of them at the same time.

Aaron's soul state is unstable. Is this the moment when his danger becomes apparent?

The instability of the soul represents greater controllability. Will the pillar in the middle gradually control Aaron's body through his free soul?

Once Aaron becomes a puppet, he will immediately transform into the life terminator of the two "blind men".

"Aaron, do you still remember the rat-shaped creature from before?

The moment the light suddenly appeared, no stray rats appeared in my field of vision. For such things that we have actually fought with, I don't think they are just a threat from the herd that we imagined.

There is a time limit for the retreat of the herd. This process takes just a few minutes for us to shoot. However, the rat-shaped creatures do not run very fast, so their inexplicable disappearance seems very strange. "

Aaron was being attacked at the soul level at this time, but Bai Ning suddenly changed the topic to the direction of the rat-shaped beasts. Are they still discussing this kind of thing at this time because they are afraid that the beasts will attack them when they close their eyes? ?

However, the beasts had not attacked them before, but now they suddenly broke out and injured people. This was obviously a bit unjustifiable.

"Those creatures may be all hidden in the dust. Perhaps this dust can isolate the soul attack of the black pillar."

Although it is not clear whether the dust under his feet can block the soul attack of the black pillar, this is the conclusion that Jiang Yingxue naturally came up with following Bai Ning's topic.

If this conclusion is true, as long as they bury their bodies in the dust, they may be able to slowly move towards the direction of the black pillar.

After Jiang Yingxue finished speaking, she could already hear the faint sound of Aaron starting to dig into the dust beside him.

“Dust may not necessarily be able to isolate attacks from the soul level, but digging downward does have a certain effect.

When we were chased by a herd of beasts, we found that all the previous footprints had disappeared. At that time, I guessed that the ground part of this temple had also collapsed.

Under the dust is actually buried the dome structure of the temple, or it may be connected to other parts of the ancient ruins.

We were not attacked by souls from the black pillars outside the temple, which shows that the stone walls of the temple may have the effect of hindering soul attacks. "

Bai Ning reiterated a previous guess, which aroused a little uneasiness in Jiang Yingxue's heart. If the foundation of this temple is damaged and is made up of piles of rocks, then if someone excavates accidentally, it will not be necessary. Falling into the next level of space?

Similar to all the underground cavities we have experienced before, with floors ranging from tens of meters to hundreds of meters in height, the only result of falling from here is death.

"Then dig down."

Anyway, there was no extra choice at the moment. The three of them fumbled around and took out the engineering shovel on their backpack, using it as a blind stick while quickly digging out the dust under them.

The dust in the dusty land was very strong, but they had to keep digging without moving. Finally, there was a crisp "clang" sound, and Bai Ning's engineer shovel really hit a hard stone under the dust.

After struggling to open their eyes and take a look, they found that the scene in front of them was as usual. Could it be that the visual deprivation caused by the black pillars had disappeared?

Just when I was about to raise my head and look around, I just made eye contact with the space outside for a moment, and the spinning feeling came over me again.

"We can look down at the scene inside the dust pit, but we still can't see the scene outside."

Bai Ning quickly imparted his experience, and the three people who regained their vision looked at each other at the bottom of the pit, full of doubts about the situation inside the temple.

Can the pile of dust really resist the soul attack of the black pillar?

This characteristic must mean that the dust is extraordinary, and it may even be a weapon used by outsiders to deal with the black pillars.
