Alien Knights

Chapter 259: Secrets of the Kingdom of Shadows (4)

After the morning training, Todd, covered in blood, returned to the stone room of the temple.

Rachel just woke up, perhaps because of excessive anxiety, coupled with lack of sleep, her face didn't look good.

Todd glanced at the amount of food and water on the stone platform, almost the same as when he left, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong? Is it because the previous fever hasn't recovered?"

Rachel leaned against the wall next to the stone bed, rubbed his temples with his hands, and said weakly: "I don't know, I just feel that my whole body can't get enough strength, maybe too much has happened in the past two days."

Todd took off his shirt, blood stained the skirt of his shirt, which drew Rachel's exclamation.

"Some skin injuries are basically healed." Todd waved his arm and said nonchalantly.

Rachel carefully checked the opponent, and after confirming that there was nothing serious, he let out a long sigh of relief, looked at the stone window blankly, and whispered, "When can we leave here?"

Putting on a set of clean clothes, Todd followed the light and looked towards the outdoor sky: "First we must find a way to leave the country of shadows. The fog, the reef, the poisonous water, and the beasts are all obstacles to our departure. ."

"After leaving here, it is the real trouble. We must find a suitable ship to sail safely to the Kingdom of Muxi." Todd shivered inexplicably when he thought of the monster on the sea floor that was comparable in size to the city.

There is one concern that he didn't mention to Rachel.

In his previous academic career, on the one hand, Todd was cautious and skeptical about this strange power involving the Holy Spirit and curses, especially when he had seen crystals twice; and on the other hand. On the one hand, facing the true face hidden by the "tyrant" and the reality behind the various visions of the Kingdom of Shadows, his curiosity began to faintly haunt him again.

"If the "Black Pearl" is still there, it will be fine." Rachel leaned against the wall and sighed.

Todd squatted down and tried Rachel's forehead with the back of his hand.

Did not burn.

But what is strange is that Rachel's current mental state is the worst since he met her.

Just when Todd wanted to ask further, Meredith's voice came from the other side of the corridor.

"Are you there? I'm here to give you something."

Walking out of the stone room, Todd was surprised to see Meredith carrying large bags in the main hall of the temple.

"This is the sleeping bag, this is the clothes, this is the pot..." Meredith put the parcels on the ground, opened them one by one, and it spread all over the floor after a while.

Todd looked at the things on the floor and nodded gratefully to the other party.

His body has been mutated and transformed, and his life needs are naturally simpler. But, after all, Rachel is still an ordinary person, without these necessities of life, it is really difficult to survive in this place.

Speaking of Rachel...

Todd glanced behind him, and asked Meredith: "Did anything happen to my companion during the time of my "destiny" trial?"

Meredith's expression was a little surprised, and after thinking about it carefully, he said, "It doesn't seem to be there. She walked the trial road with you on her back and entered the sacrificial hall. After you jumped into the "Dark Gate", it was there. Waiting for you day and night..."

Todd touched the bridge of his nose, pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "I want to go to the sacrificial hall to see."

Meredith blinked at him: "No problem, the demigod who joined the "Land of Shadows" has the right to go to any corner of this place, except..."

Seeing Todd, rushing towards the gate of the temple, Meredith yelled in dissatisfaction from behind, "I haven't finished my words yet!"

Todd's figure disappeared at the door, and before leaving, he said loudly, "While I am away, please help take care of my companion!"

Walking along the ridge to the foot of the mountain, Todd shuttled between the gravel and bushes, stepped on the dilapidated steps to enter the temple, and found the entrance to the underground on the back of the mutilated goddess statue.

Walking down the underground spiral stairs quickly, Todd looked at the dark cave under his feet.

With the continuous movement of his footsteps, he gradually realized that only by personally experiencing this stone step, and walking deeper, can he more appreciate the terrifying depth of this cave.

After ten minutes and thousands of steps down, Todd finally stood on the platform at the bottom of the cave.

Looking at the Luen text on the door at the end of the platform, Todd did not hesitate to push the door open and enter an underground corridor constructed of skeletal fossils.

Looking at the fossils in the wall, some pictures flashed in Todd's mind.

The same strange fossils, the same underground ruins.

The scene in the remains of the North Island gods gradually overlapped with the scene in front of them.

There is a terrible fact that faintly appeared in the depths of his mind, but it was not true.

Walking a little further, Todd saw a strange thing among the fossils, and it was this thing that completely awakened his fear and panic.

It was a green spar the size of a thumb, clusters of crystals gathered together, like petals on a "rose", in the dark underground tunnel, scattered light green lights, gorgeous and dazzling.

Todd's body was trembling, cold sweat ran down his forehead, and a ball of cotton wool seemed to be stuffed into his throat. He could only make a loud voice, but could not say a word.

Casting his gaze to the end of the tunnel, Todd ran towards the sacrificial hall desperately like an evil lunatic.

Struggling to open the door at the end of the fossil corridor, sacrificing everything in the hall, let his knees soften, kneel on the ground, his right palm changed into a fist, while hitting his cheek hard, while shouting with pain and regret in his mouth .

All the furnishings in the sacrificial hall were swept away by the sea when Todd returned last time.

After being soaked and eroded by seawater, most of the original solid rock wall surface has fallen off, exposing the contents inside.

Large tracts of green lens, embedded in the stone, spread over the walls of the entire hall.

Adding them together, the green light radiating from them illuminates the dark, damp hall like a green "heaven".

Others may be immersed in the beautiful scenery, but Todd's heart is like an ice cellar.

Because of these green lenses, he couldn't be more familiar.

Uranium ore...

He transformed his body into a monster form, and Todd used his limbs together to run through the fossil corridor and climb the spiral staircase at his fastest speed.

His heart was filled with regret and self-blame.

He had a chance to discover the truth that the Kingdom of Shadows was built on top of huge uranium mines. At the beginning, the excavation work of the Beidao ruins was due to the increased radioactivity in the ground, which endangered the health of the workers, so he had to stop the construction.

The remains of the North Island and the Kingdom of Shadows are both the location of the Jingsu Beacon Tower. The deeper the remains of the North Island, the stronger the radiation. According to this reasoning, the Kingdom of Shadows should be the same.

Todd should have thought of such a simple truth, but he was immersed in the pleasure of mutation and power, forgetting this fatal reality.

The direct consequence is that Rachel has been exposed to a strong radioactive environment for 24 hours, and when a large amount of radiation has accumulated in her body, no effective measures have been taken.

Todd transformed into a monster form~lightnovelpub.net~ There is only one thought in his mind at this time-faster, faster!

The mutated "Illness" ability makes the limbs explode beyond ordinary human power.

Todd gave up the mountain trail altogether and chose to climb up the cliff like a gecko.

From the sacrificial hall to the stone room of the temple, the journey that used to take more than an hour to complete, Todd completed in just ten minutes.

When he returned to the room like a monster, both Rachel and Meredith were taken aback by him.

Todd, who had degenerated into a human form, yelled anxiously: "Rachel! No time to explain! Hurry up and take off your clothes!!!"
