Chapter 241 Kuroshio
The status of these stone towers in the cube array may be related to the decoration inside them. Curt inexplicably remembered the scene he observed when he placed gray crystals in each stone tower. Not only did the heights vary, the decoration style inside the stone tower also clearly showed their master's identity.
If you only look at the building structure of the stone tower, you will often have the illusion that the stone tower will collapse completely. Those corridors were incomplete before the two arrived. They were all made of some hard stone. After experiencing all kinds of damage, only potholes were left.
Similar to the flying bird heraldry that was found on the first stone tower before, several unique artificial creatures can be found on the top of each stone tower, round or polygon, and even heraldry similar to shield emblems. They emit wonderful brilliance without exception, making people feel mysterious.
As the central pedestals, although they are all made of the same crystals, they each have unique designs. From the appearance of the trunks with potholes to the smooth prism-shaped columns polished by craftsmen, these pedestals are all placed at the top with metal rings waiting to be embedded in gray crystals.
I don't know if it was deliberately done, but the grooves on the metal rings are all exactly the same size. Perhaps it was a simple action for Curt, but compared with the giant's body, these grooves that can install gray crystals seem too small, and it is not easy to embed them in sequence.
Curt subconsciously touched the empty bag on his waist. He still remembered that the bag of gray crystals given to them by the boys all had similar appearances. They looked almost carved from the same mold, and there was no obvious difference between individuals.
There is no doubt that the young man was prepared for this, and he knew very well what kind of catastrophe the world had encountered. His current behavior naturally had a clear purpose. He was indeed a bit incredible to be busy for a purpose in such a world that seemed to be "dead".
Although they had doubts about these things, the two of them finally embedded all the gray crystals into the crystal center inside the stone tower according to the requirements of the boy. After a while, the stone towers started to operate one after another. It seemed that even the materials that were about to decay still barely maintained a certain degree of function.
The wonderful patterns carved on the inner wall, the inscriptions standing in the tower - and those circular heralds shining with metallic luster. The moment the gray crystal was embedded in the central pedestal by Curt, they immediately followed the established trajectory, and at the same time flashed a mysterious glimmer.
In just a few breaths, the glimmer of light appeared on the street spread under the tower in the distance. Although it seemed like a candle in the wind, the glimmer of light was enough to drive away a small part of the darkness surrounding it, and also revealed the direction the two were about to go to before their eyes.
Even the sludge that was still tumbling around seemed to shrink in the light. They began to squirm like living things, and soon retreated out of a path.
But the sludge's shrinkage was just a small thing that happened in an instant. After the initial fear subsided, the sludge became irritable one after another. They seemed to be a group of living creatures, rolling up in anger, and the surging black slowly expanded, constantly swallowing everything around them and becoming stronger.
The surging darkness has a fluid nature. They were already ready to move in the corner of the vision and became extremely frantic in an instant. But after a while, the turbulent "water flow" merged into a heavy tide, and they rushed left and right on the street frantically, swallowing up everything they touched.
Under the impact of the dark tide, the fighting giants fell down, and the dark mud sprayed out from all over their bodies. The mud and water flying all over the sky also hit the ground under the pull of gravity, making the dark frenzy that already had the power to blow and pull the rotten ones even stronger.
The falling mud ideas are like the heavy rain in summer, but they seem inexplicably quiet within this rain curtain. Whether it is the falling mud or the falling giant, they have repeated scenes of fighting, but they do not make a sound, as if they are illusions outside the world.
The waves of darkness were surging, and they gathered together to submerge the glimmer of light that tried to drive them away. I wonder if they knew that the two were the culprits of the lights, and they were chasing Curt and Liqi like hornets stabbed in their hometown.
"Kort, maybe you have to run faster... If you continue at this speed, you will be caught up by the turbid current in less than a moment." Just as Curt avoided the fallen giant at a distance of almost a piece of paper, Liqi, who was behind him, suddenly said, "Although I don't know what will happen if I get touched by this thing, you can guess something when you look at the appearance of those giants."
Liqi looked back at the darkness behind her. They slowly rushed towards the direction of the two of them like a tide. The sticky turbid current slowly and full of strength, and silently pressed towards the direction where they were. In a while, they had already submerged the road that had passed not long ago.
The giants who were still fighting each other didn't even have time to struggle, and were rushed into the black mud that had nurtured them. The giants involved were torn to pieces by the manic darkness in just a short moment, and their broken limbs melted into the darkness and became part of it.
A strange silence filled the streets. Even if the torn giants had already fallen into the dark tide, they still did not forget the "mission" of fighting each other. The limbs were intact, while those giants with few arms and legs had to work hard to attack the enemy in front of them even if they used their teeth.
It's like going crazy... Perhaps for them who have long been sane, even the concept of "crazy" cannot be left. They live to die and resurrect from the dead - these giants trapped in the black mud continue to kill and be killed meaninglessly, but they don't know what this is for.
"It's so sad...I'm doing my best."
With a deep sigh, Curt accelerated his running forward and showed a self-deprecating smile on his face. Even after being cursed by that damn curse, they became indifferent to death, but the giants in front of them who were constantly repeating the cycle of life and death may be even more miserable than them.
The darkness was about to cover everything on the street, but the glimmer of light leading directly to the dark tower in the distance organized a path. The light and shadow instantly tear the scene of the space, and a golden sandstone road shining with the sun appeared in the crack.
