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 had reached the end, had not yet found the exit of this room.

Remnant Max, leaning against the brick wall, was thinking about something.

He suddenly raised his head, and his eyes under the burning mask looked towards the darkness that was beyond the reach of the firelight and whose upper limit was unknown.

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

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

A burning bat.

A bit of fire from the bat illuminated the darkness above. It kept climbing, and finally, at a height of about fifteen meters, it illuminated a dark arch.

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

The pianist with the little fire in his eyes shrugged: "The next step is easy - just go up."

Between his words, the pianist felt as if raindrops hit his sleeves.

He raised his arm to look with some doubts, but found—

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

The raindrops of acid burned through the fabric and fell on the moonlight skin, causing him to scream strangely.

A raindrop fell on Father Taro's head, and the resolute man smoked above his head. He couldn't help crying out in pain and hugged his head.

"Acid rain!" Shawn shouted, the brim of the fedora hat had been corroded and damaged.

The remnant soldier, who had no intact skin on his scalp, seemed to be the least sensitive to pain, and even though there were raindrops burning his body, he still looked around in a daze.

The rain became heavier in an instant, and Sean realized that they couldn't rush into the high doorway now.

He tried to condense a layer of spiritual essence umbrella on the top of his head, but found that those acid raindrops, which seemed to contain a small amount of acid erosion attribute spiritual power, were slowly burning through the spiritual essence...

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

Shawn realized with a little despair that they could not avoid it at this moment.

The raindrops hit everyone, and everyone's body was filled with sour and rich blue smoke...

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

His unruly imagination originally sketched the scene of himself being corroded into a **** skeleton in the strong acid rain, but suddenly he realized that the rain seemed to have stopped, and the wound on his body was being healed by the shining mist...

Moonlight looked up and found a dark cloud suspended above their heads, covering the increasingly strong acid rain.

When he turned his head, he found that Sean raised his hands, as if he was trying to support something...

Above their heads was not a "dark cloud", but a huge whale bone.

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

"By the way..." Moonlight suddenly wanted to understand something, "Because the acid cannot corrode bones and candles, there are only these things on the floor of this room!"

The weight of the whale bone was astonishing, causing Sean's psychic substance to deform and crumbling above his head.

Moonlight quickly stood up, and also released spiritual essence to help support the whale bone.

However, the spiritual substance is not a special load-bearing object, although almost everyone has contributed their own strength, the heavy protective umbrella is still shaky.

At this moment, the remnant soldiers seemed to finally understand what was going on. When everyone was holding the whale bones, they suddenly faced the pouring rain sky, stretched out their hands tremblingly, and muttered inaudible babble, as if they were suddenly mad. Like an attack.

A hoarse and crazy voice, as if the wind wrapped in grit hit the eardrums.

What is he doing? !

Just when Sean felt that the behavior of the remnant soldiers was absurd, a few rusty iron chains burning with dark red flames smashed to the ground as if they were hanging from hell.

These rusty chains are unbelievably thick—these are definitely not human creations, are they used to bind demons?

The chain suddenly twisted, raised as high as a living thing, and wrapped around the heavy object above his head...

The thick rusty iron chain held the whale bone.

With 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 over their heads has become their temporary refuge, the crisis is not over yet.

The light rain turned into moderate rain, the moderate rain turned into heavy rain, the acid gradually merged into a stream on the ground, and gradually drowned the bones and candles on the ground...

The flames went out, and the surrounding world fell into darkness again.

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

However, the water level is rising fast. Beneath the whale bone, they were soon forced to stand on a three-square-meter bone mound.

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

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

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

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

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

The empty-eyed skeletons acted - some lay on the ground, shrinking their own bones into one piece, becoming the board of the ship; some hugged their companions, turned their bodies on their sides, and used their spine and shoulder blades as well as their own skulls. , forming the side of the ship...

Soon, thirty pairs of skeletons turned into a bone ship.

"Damn..." Foley muttered, "This acid is definitely not good for bones!

"I don't want my collection to have osteoporosis."

"Don't complain, Foley." The remnant smiled and boarded the boat, "You have to find a way, don't you?"

The small boat had exactly seven people in it, and the acid was accumulating more and more quickly, and even with the naked eye it could be judged that the water level was rising.

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

The bone boat swayed in the acid solution.

Sean felt that everything was a little crazy.

Taking his eyes back from the roaring acid rain outside the whalebone, Sean looked down at his feet.

The light of the flashlight swayed, and the acid mist made the eyes a little stinging.

He saw at his feet the face of a small blackened skeleton—his skull had not yet been healed.

"It's the little skeleton who lit the candle..."

It has dark eyes~lightnovelpub.net~ with no sadness or fear on its face.

Yabang tapped lightly because of boredom, staring up at the top with empty eyes.

... Sean carefully moved his feet away from its face.

The torrential rain with acid mist, the whalebone sanctuary that covered the top like a dark cloud, the burning thick iron chains, and the blackened skeletons underfoot...

Sean felt like he was in some kind of weird nightmare.

The shaky bone boat finally reached the edge of the distorted, muscle-like hole, and everyone supported each other and climbed in...

After reaching such heights, the acid rain becomes smaller.

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

Finally, it's safe.

The Black Death Doctor beat him again with his short staff. The skeletons got up from the boat one by one and returned to their original appearance. After absorbing the acid from the bones on the soil, they walked into the black coffin...

Sean and Moonlight looked at each other, and they both realized that if it wasn't for the alliance with the Max team, even if they could escape the danger just now, they would have to be severely scalded by the acid rain.
