I Was Once a Legend

The atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

Cui Zuojing hurriedly made a rescue, but Dong Zheng didn't say anything more. The reason for his attitude was that he didn't want everyone to ask more questions, because he couldn't say anything anyway.

There is a spell engraved on the gem, Dong Zheng has seen it before, so he helped explain it.After a short break, the group continued to explore, but this time Dong Zheng was no longer at the forefront, nor did he express any other opinions about the box.

He really knows too much, as if he has taken a customs clearance cheat or a script, the more he talks, the more he does, and the more mistakes he may make.

The cave extended in all directions, and Cui Zuojing soon got bored after going around all the time, yawned and muttered in a low voice: "When will it be big?"

Dong Zheng replied subconsciously: "Hurry up, go two more intersections."

As soon as he finished speaking, several pairs of eyes looked over at him with surprise and uncertainty in his eyes. Only then did Dong Zheng realize that he had said something wrong. His answer to Cui Zuojing had become a kind of instinct, and his footsteps paused. Shen Sheng said: "I have no reason to hurt you, and everyone wants to clear the box as soon as possible, don't they?"

"Let me just believe you." Cui Zuojing shrugged and continued walking forward with the knife in his arms. As Dong Zheng said, after passing through two forks, a gate appeared and blocked them, and the cave came to an end.

The two halves of the door form the pattern of the statue of Beth, and there is an octagonal vacancy at the navel, waiting for the gemstone to be placed on it.

"Something will happen after you put it up, right? Be prepared, I'm going to let it go?" Cui Zuojing stood in front of the door and waved to everyone.

Dong Linhai stood next to Wang Que, Alan picked up Victor, Lin Hangzhi was in the corner, but Dong Zheng didn't move, he stood next to Cui Zuojing two years ago and now. He is competing with himself, right?

"Let it go."

Cui Zuojing pressed the gem into the opening, took two steps back, and after a few breaths, Beth's eyes lit up, and the slowly flowing liquid in the magic gem swirled suddenly, forming a small vortex.

The muffled sound of the machine's operation came from the ground, and the ground shook violently. Dong Zheng tensed his body, ready for the door to open.

After 10 minutes, the vibration and sound gradually stopped, the light in Beth's eyes went out, and the heavy door opened to both sides, revealing the bottomless darkness to everyone, even the light of the flashlight could not penetrate.

The power of terror was brewing in it, and Dong Zheng had already noticed it, but he didn't say anything.

A few seconds later, a powerful suction erupted from the door without warning, and the hurricane rolled up, sucking everyone into the door like a whale!

Suddenly there were screams and exclamations, Cui Zuojing thrust the knife into the ground and held the handle firmly, grabbing Dong Zheng's hand that was about to be devoured!

The body of the white cat whized by, and was barely blocked by a stalactite pillar at last. Dong Zheng raised his hand to protect his head and face, knowing that this was just a portal, he didn't make much resistance, and was also sucked in.

When the line of sight went dark, the wind also stopped.

Dong Zheng fell to the ground and rolled twice. He stood up, patted off the dust on his body, and looked around. He was directly teleported outside. The dense forest covered the light of stars and moon above his head. A wolf was in the bushes. Staring at him, there was a greedy light in her scarlet eyes, and she was about to pounce on him.

Dong Zheng didn't even look there, he raised his hand, and the arrow shot out, directly piercing the wild wolf's head. The wolf only had time to let out a dying scream, then fell down convulsively, and soon fell silent.

Dong Zheng was about to recover the arrow when he suddenly saw something flashing behind a tree not far away.

The forest was pitch black and it was difficult to see, but this strangeness did not escape Dong Zheng's eyes. The inner core unfolded, and his mental power scanned every inch of the ground and the sky. A figure was walking through the bushes. After escaping for a certain distance, he squatted In the place where the vegetation is the most lush, they curl up into a ball and hold their breath to hide.

Dong Zheng walked straight over, and the hand crossbow opened the branches and leaves that covered its figure amidst the opponent's trembling.

"Don't kill me!" The short humanoid creature with a fish head raised its fins to cover its head, begging desperately, trembling, and said, "I won't hurt you! Please don't hurt me either. I!"

Dong Zheng was a little surprised. He recognized the fish-headed monster in a robe in front of him. He had seen a large number of bones on the beach not far from the shore. The fish-headed human body was exactly this race.

"Don't be afraid." Dong Zheng moved the hand crossbow from the fish's head and said, "Get up and talk."

The murloc stood up tremblingly, obviously still very disturbed, Dong Zheng said: "Are you a fish-shaped sage?"

The fish-shaped sage said in surprise: "Yes, I didn't expect someone to recognize me. Those people before all regarded me as a monster."

Dong Zheng didn't say useless nonsense, and said directly: "I have seen many bones on the southeast coast, they are your kind."

"It's all those villains!" The fish-shaped sage immediately became agitated, his gills opening and closing violently in anger, "That group of savage villains just didn't want to listen to us telling the truth, and they even killed me so Many compatriots!"

Dong Zheng suddenly understood: "The British 400 years ago? What did you tell them? About the blood of the demon god?"

"How do you know?" The fish-shaped sage looked at Dong Zheng with surprise in his eyes, and it trembled a few times again, shrinking its neck and becoming vigilant.

"I found the text left by the British Expeditionary Force in the depths of the underground cave. They said that the fish head told them that the blood of the Demon God had unparalleled power. Many people in the team wanted to break the seal and let the Demon God come out. , the officers of the army therefore executed those men."

"He also almost killed our entire group! We just told them some secrets of the island out of friendship, and he treated us like this! He thinks we are devils who spread evil thoughts!" The fish-shaped sage waved it short "We are the gods who come from the flood and are in charge of the order of the heavens and the earth! How can we be devils who bring knowledge to ignorant and ignorant humans! The real devils are clearly the ones who despise life!"

Dong Zheng had seen the scene of piles of corpses with his own eyes. He didn't agree with what the expeditionary army did back then, but he could understand a little bit. They didn't want the demon god to come to the world one day, so they sent fish-shaped sages who could spread the efficacy of the demon god's blood. Kill them all, so that no one will listen to the words of the fish-shaped sage and release the demon god.

"Are you the only one left in your group?" Dong Zheng asked.

"There are other sages around, but after we realized that new people came to the island, we all went into hiding." The fish-shaped sage said, "We are afraid that what happened back then will happen again."

Dong Zheng: "Now you don't have to worry, I won't hurt you, on the contrary, I want to know more about the secrets of this island."

The fish-shaped sage didn't feel any malice towards Dong Zheng, and now he relaxed a little, saying: "Then go to a safer place and talk about it."

Led by the fish-shaped sage, Dong Zheng walked through the bushy forest for half an hour, and saw the temple standing under the moonlight from afar.

The fish-shaped sage climbed up the steps, turned around and introduced to Dong Zheng: "There are four temples in the east, west, north, south, and north directions of this island, each of which seals the blessing of a god or demon. This is the western temple."

Dong Zheng recalled that Cui Zuojing said that he was a seal lifted in the Western Temple, and asked, "Which god is sealed here?"

"God of time, Ivern." The fish-shaped sage walked into the temple, "Nowadays few people know his name, only remember Cronus, but only Ivern can control eternal time. Years ago, after he and the other gods sealed the Demon God, they left a blessing and left the island for us to protect."

The temple is empty, and there are many statues of gods on both sides, which are already very old, and there is a high platform in the middle.The fish-shaped sage led Dong Zheng into a narrow door on the side. There were beds, tables and chairs in the small room, which was obviously the place where the fish-shaped sage lived.

The fish-shaped sage sat by the bed, and Dong Zheng sat on the opposite chair at his invitation. He looked around silently and asked, "Do you know everything about this island?"

"After a sage dies, all the knowledge it has mastered will be automatically passed on to other sages who are still alive. This allows everyone in our group to have rich knowledge from ancient times. I dare not say that I know all of them. , but no other sage knows more than I do."

"I want to know about the blood of the demon god." Dong Zhengdao, "I have encountered very difficult troubles, and I need more strength to save everything."

"I can feel that there are powers that do not belong to you in your body, and those powers are very powerful." The fish-shaped sage raised his fin-shaped hand, put it lightly on Dong Zheng's forehead, and said, "You can only For the time being, bear it as a container, like an overfilled bottle, which is always in danger of bursting, because they were originally chosen, not you."

Dong Zheng could only answer with silence, the fish-shaped sage smiled and said: "The demon god who was sealed underground by the joint efforts of several gods is extremely powerful, and his blood contains unimaginable power, but if you release it If you come out, the entire island will be destroyed, and the world will fall apart, even if this is the case, are you going to do it?"

"Yes." Dong Zheng whispered, "I have no other choice."

The fish-shaped sage shook his head: "I don't agree with your choice, but if you insist on doing it, I won't stop you, because whether it's sealed or not, this world won't exist for too long. This is the fate of the world , when outsiders break in, everything will come to an end."

Dong Zheng's breathing was stagnant. Could it be that the fish-shaped sage is also an awakened npc like Fix in "Good Neighbors"?

"How did you know?"

The fish-shaped sage clasped his hands in front of his chest, looking at the ceiling, his eyes seemed to penetrate the building and cast into the air, "I can feel it, maybe this is God's will, everything in the world has a beginning and an end, if a certain The Japanese world was really destroyed because of the coming of the Demon God, and that was just the beginning of a new cycle of reincarnation."

It seems that the fish-shaped sage has not awakened. Dong Zheng was a little disappointed. He thought that he could learn more secrets about the truth of the pure white world from the fish-shaped sage. You and I are both believers in entropy" what kind of mystery does it contain.

But it doesn't matter, there are more important things waiting for him to do, Dong Zheng said: "Can I ask you one thing?"

"please say."

"I have a friend who has sealed time power. I would like to ask you to help him unlock the seal."
