The Modern Age of the Mysterious

v1 Chapter 421: strange dream

In the empty room, the echo of footsteps could be clearly heard.

Sean and his party, who have already reached the end, still haven't found the exit of this room.

The disabled soldier Max leaned on the brick wall, thinking about something.

He raised his head suddenly, and his eyes under the burning mask looked towards the darkness beyond the reach of the firelight and the limitless darkness.

He opened the ribs in front of his chest with both hands, and squeezed out something next to the heart that seemed to be burning with phosphorous fire.

After the thing crawled out of Max's chest, it spread its wings and flew towards the sky.

A burning bat.

A little firelight from the bats illuminated the darkness above. It kept climbing, and finally illuminated a dark arch in the air about fifteen meters high.

Then, the burning bat hung upside down in the doorway, like a lantern.

The pianist with the fire in his eyes shrugged his shoulders: "The next step is simple—just go up."

While he was speaking, the pianist felt as if raindrops were hitting his sleeves.

He raised his arms to look suspiciously, only to find—

The raindrops that fell on his sleeve scorched a puff of blue smoke on the dark green fabric.

Raindrops of acid burned through the fabric and landed on Moonlight's skin, making him scream.

There were raindrops falling on Father Taylor's head, and the resolute man was smoking from his head. He couldn't help crying out in pain, and hugged his head.

"Acid rain!" Sean yelled, the brim of his fedora corroded and mutilated.

The remnant soldier who no longer has a piece of intact skin on his scalp seems to be the least sensitive to pain. Even though there are waves of smoke burning on his body, he still looks around blankly.

The rain became heavier in an instant, and Xiao En realized that they could not rush into the high doorway now.

He tried to condense a layer of ectoplasmic umbrella on top of his head, but found that those acid raindrops seemed to contain a small amount of acid-attributed spiritual power, and they were slowly burning through the ectoplasm...

"No, the ectoplasmic umbrella won't last long!"

Sean realized with some desperation that they couldn't avoid it at this moment.

The raindrops hit everyone, and sour and strong green smoke rose from everyone's body...

The curtain created by the sound of the zither only ended up in the same fate as the spiritual umbrella, Moonlight could no longer bear the pain, he covered his head and shouted loudly.

His unrestrained imagination originally pictured himself being corroded into a **** skeleton in the strong acid rain, but suddenly he found that the rain seemed to have stopped, and the wounds on his body were being healed by the shining mist...

Moonlight looked up and found that there was a dark cloud suspended above their heads, covering the strong acid rain that was falling more and more.

Turning around, I realized that Sean raised his hands, as if trying to support something...

What is above their heads is not a "dark cloud", but a huge whalebone.

The whale bones that were scattered on the ground were held up by Xiao En's spirit, like a giant spirit that had been dead for many years and floated on the dark seabed again.

"By the way..." Yueguang suddenly understood something, "Because acid can't corrode bones and candles, there are only these things on the floor of this room!"

The astonishing weight of the whalebone deformed Sean's spirit matter, which was precariously crumbling above his head.

Moonlight quickly stood up, also releasing spirit matter to help prop up the whalebone.

However, the spirit matter is not a special load-bearing object. Although everyone has contributed their own strength, the heavy protective umbrella is still precarious.

At this moment, the remnant soldier who seemed to finally understand what happened, when everyone was holding up the whale bone, suddenly stretched out his hand tremblingly towards the pouring rain sky, muttering inaudible ravings, as if he had suddenly gone mad Like a seizure.

The hoarse and crazy voice, as if the wind wrapped in gravel hit the eardrums.

what is he doing !

Just when Xiao En felt that the behavior of the remnant soldier was absurd, several rusty iron chains burning with dark red flames, as if hanging from hell, hit the ground heavily.

These rusty chains are unbelievably thick—these are not human creations, could they be used to bind demon gods?

The chain twisted suddenly, lifted up like a living thing, and tightly wrapped around the heavy object above the head...

Thick rusty iron chains hold the whalebone.

There was a miserable smile on the corner of Max's mouth: "The last veteran will always be sheltered..."

Holding his mask, he lowered his voice.

Although the whalebone hanging overhead has become their temporary refuge, the crisis is not over.

Light rain turned into moderate rain, moderate rain turned into torrential rain, and the acid gradually merged into a creek on the ground, gradually submerging the bones and candles on the ground...

The flames were extinguished, and the surrounding world was once again plunged into darkness.

The strong acid that merged into a stream scalded the soles of Max's boots, and he followed the others slowly to a bone on the ground...

However, the water level rose rapidly. Under the whalebone, they were soon forced to stand on a three-square-meter bone mound.

"Fry," Max still smiled, "it's up to you."

Doctor Hei Si, who had been silent all this time, sighed helplessly, took out the short black staff, and knocked heavily on the air, and the black coffin like an arch appeared again.

Dozens of skeletons stepped out of the black coffin one by one. Some of the bodies were not even completely decomposed, with dry skin and hair remaining on the skeleton.

"Gold coin, one..." Black Death Doctor took out a golden object from his pocket, and with a "ding", he flicked it into the black coffin with his thumb.

"To cross the Styx, you need a boat."

The hollow-eyed skeletons moved into action—some lay on the ground, shrunk their bones into one piece, and became the plank of the ship; form a ship's side...

Soon, thirty pairs of skeletons were assembled into a bone ship.

"Damn..." Fry muttered, "this acid must be bad for bones!

"I don't want my collection to be all osteoporotic."

"Don't complain, Foley." The disabled soldier boarded the boat with a smile, "You have to find a way, don't you?"

This small boat held exactly seven people, and the acid accumulated more and more quickly, and it was even possible to tell with the naked eye that the water level was rising.

The chains on the top of the head slowly retracted, lifting the whalebone; the bone boat under the whalebone rose with the acid pool.

The bone boat wobbled in the acid.

Sean felt like everything was a little crazy.

Taking his eyes back from the acid rain that rang out beyond the whalebone, Sean looked down at his feet.

The light of the flashlight was flickering, and the acid fog made people's eyes a little stinging.

He saw at his feet the face of a small, blackened skeleton—his skull hadn't healed yet.

"It's the little skull that lit the candle..."

Its eye sockets were dark, and there was no sorrow or fear in its face.

The teeth were knocked lightly because of boredom, and the empty eyes were looking up.

…Shawn carefully moved his feet away from near its face.

The heavy rain that steamed with acid mist, the whalebone shelter above it like a dark cloud, the thick burning iron chains, and the blackened little skeletons under your feet...

Sean felt like he was in some kind of strange nightmare~lightnovelpub.net~ The rickety bone boat finally reached the edge of the hole with twisted shape, as if tightening muscles, and everyone helped each other to climb in...

After rising to this altitude, the acid rain became smaller.

Tick-tick, like the beans are finally about to run out.

Finally, safe.

The black death doctor struck again with his staff, and the skeletons got up from the boat one by one, restored their original appearance, and walked into the black coffin after sucking up the acid on the bones on the soil...

Sean and Moonlight looked at each other, and they both realized that if it wasn't for the alliance with Max's team, even if they could get out of the dangerous situation just now, they would have to be severely scalded by the acid rain to peel off a layer of skin.
