Start Cthulhu with priest - Chapter 284
c282 281. Bronze City
The chaotic and chaotic colors began to pour into An Le’s eyes, and quickly spread out.
It is difficult to describe the shape of these colors with ordinary language.
They are like galaxies that are constantly rotating and changing.
The bright light flickers and fades along with the evolution of the stars, repeating the process of birth—growth—power to the extreme—decline, and even extinction.
Go round and round, go round and round.
It seems like it will go on like this until the end of time.
They are also like a rain of light formed by the gathering of countless colors.
Dirty colors, like raindrops hitting Anle’s body.
It touched his skin and gradually penetrated into his flesh and blood.
At this moment, Anle heard their voices.
In the chaotic and dirty beauty.
He is screaming, he is roaring, he is crying, he is sleeping soundly, he is panting…
These voices are so mysterious and strange.
At first glance.
It seems like a distant old ballad with a salty smell coming along with the rolling waves.
It also seemed to be something invisible whispering softly in the ear.
Whenever a sound sounds, the corresponding emotions in An Le’s heart will respond accordingly, and different desires will surge up.
Chaotic thoughts and noisy impulses dance wildly together in consciousness.
An Le seems to be trapped in a world where only desires remain.
No more thinking about things other than lust and sin.
The six desires and seven sins were originally born in the human soul.
It is an existence that ordinary people cannot eradicate.
As long as people live in the dunya, they will definitely be contaminated by them.
Perhaps, even the so-called gods cannot be avoided.
The sound and the touch of the light spot on the body surface are so real.
So much so that An Le couldn’t tell whether they were hallucinations, or that he had already come to another region unknowingly?
The radiant rain of light walks around An Le.
He seems to be walking in a tunnel leading to the unknown, unable to judge the passage of time and the transformation of space.
*****
At the end of the tunnel, the surrounding scenery changed again.
The stench of corroded metal was accompanied by a strong wind blowing from nowhere.
When it hit Anle’s face, it hurt slightly, and there was a sharp feeling of metal.
This familiar yet unfamiliar smell made Anle’s eyes slightly widen.
After the chaotic colors subsided, like a wet beach exposed by the receding tide, a majestic existence that could never be seen clearly appeared before Anle’s eyes.
There is a little blackness in the deep blue, and several obscure colors are hidden.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a crawling giant beast, which may wake up at any time.
The quaint atmosphere seems to lie in a terrible ancient time.
In the legend that has been passed down from ancient times, even death itself will wither.
An Le naturally recognized what this “giant beast” was at a glance.
It is the bronze mountain that An Le once explored in the mist, oh no, it is more like…a city!
The shock brought by this scene was no less than An Le’s state of mind when he saw the church for the first time.
Even An Le couldn’t help being surprised.
He was clearly absorbing the fragments of the cursed slate.
Why did I see this Bronze City?
An Le really couldn’t think of any connection between the two.
Originally, he was at the foot of this mountain, and he could only look up at the majestic mountain peak.
And An Le can’t subjectively change the perspective or move forward or move.
It seems that everything he hears and sees is fixed and cannot be changed.
This is similar to cutscenes in some games.
An Le is just a passer-by who participates in it, just bringing in another perspective of existence, and cannot really change or decide anything.
‘Another being? ‘
An Le couldn’t help but start thinking.
In those ancient years, what kind of existence would it be that came to this bronze mountain and explored it?
The answer to this question is temporarily unknown to him.
Then, as An Le expected, the perspective he brought in began to move forward and upward.
The other party began to climb towards the height of the Bronze Mountain.
As the altitude rose, An Le gradually noticed it.
There are many subtle differences between this bronze mountain and the one he saw in the misty world.
One of the most obvious differences is that the bronze in this mountain range is brighter and has a newer color, as if it had just been smelted.
——Bronze itself is not cyan, but it is stained with this color in the process of oxidation.
This may also be due to the age difference.
The mountains here are still in their infancy.
Such a slightly silver-gray, vivid color even gave An Le an illusion.
——The ubiquitous metal under the feet and around them are all…alive!
An Le could almost hear their breathing.
I can see with my own eyes that a small and inconspicuous piece of bronze has grown rapidly in a period of time that is definitely not long.
Yes, Anle can only use the word “growth” to describe its changes.
It is like the rapid development of insects from eggs, and gradually grows into adults.
This bronze piece quickly changed from a small one to a strange four-legged creature in less than a minute, and then quickly ran away.
From its pair of bronze eyes, one can even see the mixed emotions of fear.
This proves that the bronze beast is actually a living creature with its own intelligence?
A piece of bronze can change quickly.
So how many similar creatures are hidden in the entire Bronze Mountain Range?
An Le looked at the seemingly peaceful and desolate environment around him, not daring to think further.
Perhaps at this moment, there are countless eyes staring at him in the dark?
Even the Bronze Mountain that An Le saw in the mist does have the ability to swallow and assimilate everything, and continuously grow itself.
But it is far from being so fast and so shocking.
An Le thought to herself, this is probably the attitude it had in its heyday.
It’s just that in the long time, the Bronze Mountain inevitably began to decline, or fell into a deep sleep.
The more he went up, the more bizarre and strange things An Le saw on the Bronze Mountain.
So much so that, for a long time to come, An Le couldn’t tell whether what he saw was a phantom constructed by extraordinary power, or an indescribable thing that actually appeared on this mountain.
An Le noticed that he began to gradually lose control of reality, and fell into a trance like a dream and waking up from time to time, as if the two realities overlapped little by little.
He didn’t know how to accurately describe this state.
Imagine a jar full of liquid that bursts through the rupture after being punctured by a goat’s horn.
That jar is the reality in Anle’s cognition.
And the cold liquid gushing out from the crack, he didn’t know if it was the real reality or a precursor to madness.
An Le once saw a towering ancient tree hundreds of feet high, the whole body was made of bronze.
It’s not so much that it was cast in a special way the day after tomorrow.
It would be better to say that from the moment it broke through the ground, the sap of bronze flowed inside the trunk.
Countless soft branches hang down from the heights, swaying gently in the breeze blowing from nowhere.
This should have been a fairly beautiful sight, like willow leaves swaying by the river in the spring breeze.
And where An Le could see, he suddenly saw the ends of the branches, one after another… Bronze masks.
It is said to be a “mask”, but it is not an original mask with rough or simple lines at all, nor is it a toy used by children to decorate and hide their identities.
They are lifelike masks with exquisite facial features of ordinary people!
Except for the difference in skin color, it is almost impossible to tell the difference between them and real people.
It was as if several human faces were peeled off alive and hung on the treetops, and the swaying in the wind became extraordinarily terrifying.
It will only make those who see this scene feel a deep chill in their hearts.
An Le once saw a huge, bottomless pool.
Dark liquid bronze was bubbling through it.
Noisy boiling.
Logically speaking, metals should appear bright and glow white at high temperatures.
But the bronze here does not.
Probably they were swallowed together with that light, right?
Or, they just look like bronze, but in fact they already exist in another way.
This dark pool is like a mother’s womb.
The liquid bronze is the warm amniotic fluid, which breeds bronze creatures, big and small, whose shapes cannot be seen clearly.
The metallic spine floated up and down in the pool, gradually being covered with more viscous liquid, and finally formed a complete form.
If those metals were replaced with bright red flesh, swollen blood vessels, and pale bones, the indescribable horror would probably be felt even more.
That’s the case, the process of bronze transforming living things.
It’s like a workshop made by cyber bionics. It’s obviously just a picture composed of machine tools, parts, circuits, etc., but there is always a colder and crueler absurdity.
An Le also saw that the towering sky was also covered with blue-gray haze.
Like a hood that is so huge that it cannot be measured in words, it covers the Bronze Mountain and everything in the mountain.
Finally, after witnessing so many ridiculous wonders.
Along with this perspective, An Le arrived at the destination near the top.
But here, there is only one straight passage left on the mountain road.
Made of bronze steps.
Just because of the scene just now, An Le couldn’t help wondering whether these steps would become some kind of living things in the next moment.
Or are they alive themselves, just sleeping?
On both sides of the road, there are some tables that seem to be used to place something.
Most of the platforms are empty.
The things that were originally placed have long been taken away, and only a few are still intact and quietly staying where they should be.
However, from the perspective of the climber, the things on the platform are always shrouded in a hazy veil, making it hard to see clearly.
Probably some kind of special protection mechanism.
It’s also possible that he didn’t care about these things at all.
There is a very obvious feature, the higher you go, the closer you are to the peak of Bronze Mountain.
The aura left or emanating from the platform became stronger and stronger, and the number of empty platforms gradually decreased.
But such a scene made An Le extremely astonished.
Because, whether it’s a platform with a special shape or an unknown strange thing on the stage, it seems… like it was deliberately prepared?
In this way, it is placed here without any obstacles. If there are strong people who climb here, there is no doubt that they can easily take them away.
Although it is not ruled out that this is fishing law enforcement, the possibility that it will cause disaster after being taken away.
But this setting itself is extremely strange.
Similar to the so-called “treasure house”, waiting for someone to take them away.
This feeling was in great contrast to the terror hidden in the bronze mountain that An Le had seen before.
For a moment, he wondered if he had some kind of illusion.
It’s just that the pace An Le brought into existence will not stop because of his thoughts.
He kept going.
It seemed that because he had reached a certain height, the oddities on the surrounding platforms finally caught his attention.
Next, He began to stop in front of several platforms, stopping to observe the things placed on them, as if carefully selecting.
If you really want to say, it is not much different from ordinary people shopping in stores and choosing their favorite products.
An Le watched the scene silently.
After this existence got closer, he was able to see part of the things on the table.
Among them is the armor made of bronze, the whole body is black, exuding a frightening power.
After wearing it, it can obviously greatly increase the combat power.
But what surprised An Le a little was that the style of this armor was actually very similar to the stone clan’s different stone armor, and there were many similarities.
There are also weapons such as bronze swords and bronze spears.
Although they look like standard cold weapons, they actually contain a shocking aura, obviously belonging to the category of extraordinary relics.
And this kind of existence is the most common and common on the platform.
Next, the many extraordinary relics that He glanced at made An Le feel a little moved.
Including but not limited to a plump fruit that exudes a rich fragrance, a severed ancient dragon arm, and a book full of ominous facts.
These dazzling and rare objects undoubtedly once again proved An Le’s conjecture.
The top of the Bronze Mountain is deliberately displaying precious and strange things, allowing outsiders to choose.
As for the reason behind this, An Le really couldn’t guess.
But one thing is certain, if you want to take these strange objects… you will have to pay a price!
At least, follow certain rules.
If it is really “you can pick and choose”, why didn’t the people who have arrived here take all the treasures away?
According to this line of thought, it is not difficult for An Le to guess the reason why his consciousness came to the Bronze Mountain.
He stopped and walked in front of the platform, but never really took one away.
Presumably they feel that they are not yet able to meet their needs.
Continuing to move forward, the road began to become a little rough, and the blue-gray sky above the head was getting closer, bringing an invisible sense of oppression.
There is a kind of pressure in the air here, and even An Le seems to be able to feel it.
In contrast, the quality of the strange things on the stage is getting higher and higher.
Some of them exist, even unheard of.
I am afraid that it is a mysterious thing from ancient times.
And at this time, An Le was finally able to see.
On a pillar not far away, seven complete stone slabs were waiting for him.
