Deep Sea Embers

living.

After realizing that what Alice stepped on was not mud at all, but some kind of living biological tissue, most of the people at the scene immediately had a creepy feeling.

Duncan found the stuff wriggling on the floor rather...disgusting.

Immediately afterwards, he heard Nina's voice from not far away: "There are also here!"

"And this side!" Xue Li also exclaimed immediately, "There is a big area here, and it is still moving!"

In this mysterious and empty space, there are strange "substances" that are dark, mud-like, but able to wriggle slowly.

"It's everywhere here..." Fan Na had silently held the giant sword behind her in her hand, and said in a very serious tone while frowning slightly, looking around the extremely open "cabin", "Goddess bless... What is it?"

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, Morris squatted down next to a slightly squirming "mud", and flipped the edge of the sticky "mud" with his pocket knife, frowning tightly.

"I've never seen anything like it, and I've never seen a similar record in any book," said the knowledgeable old scholar, but his tone was full of confusion at the moment, "This thing looks like Biological, but the texture is no different from mud, and... there does not seem to be any trace of spirituality."

"It's a bit close to what's in a 'No. 3 submersible' that Tirian described." Duncan said casually, and at the same time raised his head, looking deeper into the open cabin.

Nina came to the edge of the crowd. Under the faint light of the fire emitted by Ai, a group of mud that looked particularly "vigorous" was slowly rising and falling in the depression on the floor. She stood beside this depression, Bending down and looking curiously at the disgusting substance.

She was a little nervous, but more curious than that.

And in the next second, the lump of mud suddenly moved!

As if there was a response to Nina's gaze, and as if some kind of blindly squirming creature was finally disturbed by the large group of uninvited guests in the cabin, the speed of the mud's surge suddenly accelerated, and immediately after, a large amount of gas surged inside it. As soon as it came out, foam rolled on the surface of the mud——Nina was startled, and before she could react, the lump of mud suddenly... stood up!

Just like a lowly soft-bodied creature suddenly had a bone, the dark sticky substance stood upright from the pit, and its surface hardened, condensed, and changed color rapidly, and in just the blink of an eye, it appeared an almost human outline , and in the next instant, something like a skull differentiated from its top, and even a human face emerged.

It was a face that was close to Nina's!

"Wow!" Nina yelled in shock—even though she was courageous, even if she was cheerful and strong, she was actually just a teenage girl, and of course she was greatly affected by such a terrifying and weird scene. He was so frightened that his head went blank on the spot, and he instinctively raised his hand without thinking, trying to push that terrible thing away from his eyes.

This is a big pit with a temperature of up to 6000°C.

The closest one was Shirley, she only heard Nina's exclamation, followed by a deafening explosion, and a dazzling flash of high fever filled her and Agou's entire field of vision—accompanied by this The flash of light was swept by a high-heat shock wave as if standing in an erupting volcanic crater.

Nina actually just slapped her across the face, a very brief slap.

However, the fireball slapped out by this slap almost melted and evaporated the entire spherical space with a radius of twelve meters in front of her.

Duncan turned his head, and saw that ball of hot fire rapidly dissipating in mid-air in front of Nina, and in front of her was the bright molten molten metal that flowed down. The girl seemed to be still in a daze. Standing motionless in front of that terrible molten pit.

"What happened?" Duncan immediately came to Nina's side, and put one hand on Nina's shoulder, while the remaining heat waves rose and agitated around him.

"Just... just now, the lump of mud suddenly stood up and turned into me. I... I was taken aback..." Nina just came back to her senses at this time, she shrank her neck, her face was still in shock, Pointing to the direction where the weird thing was just now, "Then hit it..."

"Then what?"

"And then it was gone," Nina said with a mournful face, as if she was still a little scared, "I didn't hold back, the whole place turned into molten iron."

Duncan glanced blankly at the large molten crater on the ground and the molten metal flowing down the wall next to it, and then glanced at the "Sun Fragment" who was still full of nervousness.

No matter what the thing that popped out and frightened Nina just now is, there is no doubt that it is the one that hurts the most - a slap at 6000°C, it may be the evil god of the subspace. You have to leave a psychological shadow that will be remembered for a lifetime...

But he still stroked Nina's hair, comforting the frightened girl: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, you've knocked out that thing..."

While talking, he turned his head and glanced at the other people who were still in shock.

Shirley was shaking into a ball holding Agou, Morris was beating her chest silently, Alice had just picked up her head, only Fanna was the calmest - she looked at Duncan and shrugged.

"In the future, I will never speak to Nina suddenly behind her." The judge who once killed the entire city-state said solemnly.

"It's just a small accident." Duncan rubbed Nina's hair helplessly, and then his eyes fell on the nearby mud that was not affected by Nina's "Sun Fist". In the next second, His expression changed slightly, "Wait, these things don't seem right."

Following Duncan's reminder, the others finally noticed the changes in the "mud" that spread throughout the cabin——

All the mud has stopped wriggling.

These things that were constantly wriggling and deforming like mollusk creatures not long ago all stopped at some point, turning into dry clumps like dehydrated mud, and all the edges of the clumps extended tiny, branch-like These raised structures seem to have tried to escape from the mud, and left a trace indicating the direction of their escape in the process of escaping.

Fan Na's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and within a few seconds, she found that all the traces extending from the mud edge seemed to point in the same direction.

In the deepest part of this dark and vast "cabin".

"There is something in that direction." Fan Na said immediately, while clenching the giant sword in her hand.

At the same time, Duncan also set his sights on the deepest part of the darkness.

A thin green line of fire quietly extended from under his feet. When this line of fire touched the dry and solidified "mud" on the floor, it burned brightly instantly and turned into piles of "campfires". The bonfire spread rapidly throughout the cabin, instantly lighting up many originally dark areas!

Duncan watched the scene of the "campfire" spreading, and confirmed his initial guess in his heart—these mud-like things were the agglomeration of extraordinary power.

And in the gradually spreading flames of the spirit body, the cabin, which was too wide to be illuminated by the flames of Ai's body, finally revealed more secrets to everyone.

They saw the potholes in the distance, the horrible bulkhead that seemed to have been eaten by some acidic substance or erosive organisms, saw the ropes, pipes and suspicious dark red fiber bundles hanging from the top of their heads, and saw the quantity More "mud balls" that have lost their vitality have also been seen in the deepest part of the cabin——

A huge, vaguely outlined mass occupies a disturbing posture, its edges still seeming to be squirming.

Duncan pondered for a moment, then walked towards the huge and weird pile of "accumulations".

He didn't let the flames of his spiritual body corrode or burn the pile of things—even though he knew that it should be "supernatural firewood" that could be burned, he didn't intend to rashly destroy any clues until he figured out what it was.

The others obviously hesitated, but seeing that Duncan was already striding forward, they quickly followed him.

"Plop—"

Just when Duncan was halfway there, a sudden voice made everyone stop subconsciously.

Morris looked up in the direction of the sound, and realized that the heartbeat-like plop was the movement coming from the depths of the dark pile several meters high.

Duncan also stopped, and he concentrated on observing the pile of weird things, sensing the aura floating around the things.

It didn't bring any sense of danger to itself.

So he took a few steps forward.

"Puff...Puff..."

It was more obvious than before, and the sound of a more powerful heartbeat came from the depths of the pile, and its edges seemed to be more obvious than before, and even the entire surface began to undulate slowly.

Duncan frowned, and at this moment, he heard Shirley's voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Agou, what's wrong with you, Agou?!"
