Secret: The undead do not die in the fire

Chapter 87 The Hanged Man: Are You Polite?

"I see."

When they reached halfway up the mountain, Yu Jin looked up at the top of the mountain and murmured softly.

He could finally make out the outline of the building at the top of the hill.

It was a temple.

The bloody mucous membrane did not cover the entire mountain, but only spread to the mountainside and then stopped abruptly.

At the foot of the mountain is a bloody hell made of endless fungal carpet, which keeps spreading towards the top of the mountain.

But on the mountainside, the fungal carpet is no longer sticky.

Instead, there are countless tiny black and red blood vessels extending from the fungal mat, spreading towards the top of the mountain like ivy.

At first, the blood vessels were stacked layer by layer, denser than a spider web.

The feeling of breaking blood vessels when walking on it makes people feel nauseous and want to vomit.

But the higher you go, the thinner the layers of blood vessels become.

The black and red blood vessels extend outward along several surging thick blood vessels, like a dry poplar baring its fangs and claws.

It’s just that this poplar is made up of blood vessels.

When the embers reached the mountainside, which was two-thirds of the height of the mountain, the layers of blood vessels finally disappeared.

All you see is lush green.

There is a village in the open space on the mountainside.

When viewed from a distance, you can even see faint smoke from cooking.

But when we got closer, we found only a large number of vacant houses and no one was living there.

The embers entered one of the empty houses, where a little black bread and thin broth were placed on the table.

There was no meat at all, just some greasy broth that couldn't even cover the surface.

I reached out and touched the bowl of broth, it was still somewhat warm.

It seemed that there were people there not long ago.

"So, where are the people?"

Yu Jin looked towards the foot of the mountain, then shook his head slightly.

The entire painting world has been covered in corruption.

Right now, only this high mountain is suitable for survival, and at the foot of the mountain there is nothing but a corrupt fungal carpet covering the entire world.

There are also countless bloodthirsty flies.

Yu Jin didn't think that the people here could leave the mountain alive.

What's more, even if they leave alive, they have nowhere to go.

Since these people didn't go down the mountain, they could only be at the top of the mountain.

Continuing to move towards the top of the mountain, Yujin discovered more and more houses along the way.

The number of these houses alone can accommodate at least thousands of people.

But there was not a single living person in any of the buildings.

Finally, only the tall and magnificent temple on the top of the mountain remained.

Standing on the top of the mountain and looking into the distance, everything in this world has been covered by the fungal blanket, appearing a deep red.

This made Yu Jin frown.

Because this painting world was simply the worst experience he had ever had.

Because it is too empty and monotonous.

It is so empty that the whole world is just an endless plain except for this mountain!

So monotonous that Embers doesn’t even have to take a detour to get to the top!
Although the painting worlds he has entered in the past have been different, they are all exquisitely designed and rich in details.

The design of the mechanisms and shortcuts is just right——

Although a bit disgusting.

But right now, this world feels empty and monotonous to Yu Jin.

Apart from the endless plain, there is only the mountain in front of you.

Even if this world is not corrupt, it is still a bit too boring compared to the world of paintings.

This is a low-level mistake that the "Painter of the World" should never make.

Because the 'simpler' the painting world is, the faster it will corrupt.

On the contrary, the more complex and detailed the world is, the slower it will corrupt.

The pigments used to paint the world of painting are extremely scarce and extremely precious.

It is such a despicable waste to use those precious pigments to paint a monotonous and boring painting world!

At least that's what Ember remembered.

Any illustrator will try his best to make the world he draws more realistic.

There are only two possibilities for the monotony of this world before our eyes.

Either the original "complexity" of this world has been completely destroyed, leaving only monotony and emptiness.

Or maybe the 'World Painter' was just being perfunctory when creating this world.

If it's the former.

Then the clues to this world might have been destroyed long ago.

And if it is the latter.

That's even worse, because the 'World Painter' might not even want to leave any clues in this world.

I drew this picture just to please someone.

Regardless of the situation, it illustrates one problem:

Yu Jin’s trip was in vain.

"Bang!"

As they moved, the gaps between the black knights' armors collided with each other, making a crisp metallic sound. Yu Jin turned around and cast his gaze towards the temple in front of him.

Leave behind the endless plain of corruption.

The only place in this world that has not been explored is this temple.

"Snapped!"

The heavy footsteps of the fully armored man echoed in the empty temple hall.

The temple is of extremely large size, obviously prepared for some huge creatures.

Just like Anor Londo in the past, it was the capital city prepared for the gods who were far more powerful than humans.

Ordinary people will only feel their own insignificance when they are in it.

The same is true of the temple in front of us.

There are a large number of statues on both sides of the temple. These statues are enlarged humans and are at least ten meters tall.

only.

The skin of these 'people' is gray-blue, and they all have only one huge vertical eye on their foreheads.

"giant?"

As Ember observed the statues, a word came to his mind.

no doubt.

This temple is the temple of the giants.

If one were to describe it using the knowledge that Ember once possessed in his mind, it would be more like Valhalla.

The dead giants will return to Valhalla and gain eternity here.

The further you go in, the larger the giant statues become.

The outermost giants are only a dozen meters tall, and when you walk into the temple.

The statues of giants became increasingly huge, tens of meters high.

It seems that these statues are one-to-one replicas of the original appearance of the giants.

"Snapped!"

Walking all the way to the end of the temple, Yu Jin stopped.

In front of him was a huge statue, completely different from the giant statues lined up on both sides.

This huge statue is located directly in front of him.

Obviously, He is the real owner of this 'Hall of Valor'.

It is also the god worshipped by the giants.

Ember slowly raised his head.

What comes into view is a huge inverted cross, supporting the temple that is hundreds of meters high!
On the cross, a naked, bloodstained man was hung upside down and tied up tightly with countless huge black iron nails and chains.

"The Hanged Man, the True Creator!"

Two different words immediately popped up in Yu Jin's mind.

The former is his first impression, and the latter is his interpretation of this image——

It points to the god worshipped by the Aurora Society, the 'True Creator'!
suddenly.

The upside-down giant opened his eyes behind the veil of shadows and stared at the embers in an upside-down position.

"It's time to fight the boss!"

Ember also stared at the huge upside-down giant.

With both hands tightly grasping the Black Knight's greatsword, he felt inexplicably excited.

Although the first Lord of Fire he faced was not the Black Emperor.

but.

Who cares?

Just like when he passed on the fire, he didn't care whether the first Lord of Fire was the Undead Squad or the Double Princes.

In the end they will all be killed anyway.

suddenly.

An incomparable terrifying force gushed out from the upside-down giant, sweeping towards the embers in front like a gale.

"boom!"

Ember quickly raised his left arm, which was covered with a small round shield.

"Gwen is unaffected."

Seeing this scene, the upside-down giant seemed to be stimulated by something.

There was a creepy scarlet light in his eyes.

Inside the hall, I recalled a series of meaningless mumblings.

"#@%@#￥%...#￥!￥!O!U!T!"

Ember couldn't understand what he was saying.

But he could clearly feel that the other party was very angry.

"Is the second phase starting now?"

Yu Jin looked suspicious. He hadn't even made a move yet, so why had you already used your ultimate skill?

Just ready to take action.

The next moment, a huge and magnificent shadow suddenly completely covered the embers.

And in his ears, he also heard a voice that sounded as if it was angry.

Although it was accompanied by incomprehensible mumbling, this time, Yu Jin heard it clearly.

The mumbling was mixed with some unclear Chinese with obvious tongue-twisting sounds.

"%@#￥#@R!N!M! Get lost! #@%#@￥!"
