They all call me an Outer God.

Chapter 265 A Corner of the Sacrificial Array

"No, no, there's something more important right now. The bridge is collapsing! What do we do?!"

"Don't worry, the Manlawi Bridge won't collapse right now, and the doctors won't let so many of us fall into the Grand Canal below."

Lia was not worried about her safety, even though the river below was churning and had an unnaturally dark color.

In those treacherous waters, some extraordinary creatures have already appeared, eyeing this place with predatory intent.

Most of them are aquatic supernatural creatures, at most amphibious, and they won't cause much harm on land. Similar to salamanders, if they don't replenish their water in time on land, they will quickly die from dehydration.

Unless these creatures undergo a mutation along the way and completely transform from amphibious to terrestrial, but the probability of that is extremely low, given their capabilities, it is simply impossible for them to topple a bridge made of steel.

There was nothing to worry about at the moment, but out of caution, Ria still silently summoned tentacles from the shadows beneath the river. The appearance of those enormous tentacles caused countless supernatural creatures to turn and flee, but they still could not escape their fate of extinction.

"boom!!!!!"

During the journey, one of the tentacles accidentally pushed too hard and broke out of the water. Surrounded by mist and giant waves, the splashing water droplets even hit the train's windows. Its strange shape and enormous size, as well as the countless eerie golden eyes that grew on its surface, made everyone gasp.

Melfas was pale: "It's over. Those jinxes are really coming true. If I die, I hope my epitaph says, 'This was a tough guy, a real man.' Thank you."

Many patients stood up, some even preparing to destroy the train to escape or attack it. The next second, the hundreds-of-meters-high tentacles slammed back into the water and disappeared without a trace.

People watched the water's surface cautiously, but after waiting for a long time, it did not reappear.

"What kind of monster is that?!" Everyone was puzzled, and Ria's expression was the same as everyone else's. His gaze was serious, and he lied through his teeth: "I don't know."

Underwater, enormous tentacles shredded a supernatural creature in the canal, then traded its fragments to other supernatural creatures. Any creatures that didn't cooperate were shredded to pieces. After this operation, they quickly became the new overlords of the river.

But they did not disappear. Instead, they continued to spread in the muddy river waters after the disturbance, searching for something. Even the extraordinary creatures that were polluted a second time took the initiative to lead them into unknown territories.

After an unknown amount of time, the extraordinary creatures came to rest together on an open space in the river. They cleared the mud and sand from the ground to one side, while the numerous eyes on their tentacles blinked, witnessing everything within their field of vision.

They saw several crooked patterns buried beneath the river sand, carved by an unknown life form onto the surface of a flat boulder. As the sand disappeared, their eyes witnessed the patterns becoming more and more complete.

The pattern below is intricate, containing numerous symbols that resemble ancient languages ​​or even languages ​​of this world. Just by looking at a corner of the pattern and the tentacles, one can tell that it is the edge of a sacrificial array, but it is impossible to tell what kind of sacrificial array it is.

Even with their enormous size, they were still smaller than some of the symbols above the sacrificial array when they approached it. The canal alone could not possibly support such a massive sacrificial array; perhaps the surrounding land beneath it all...

As the river undulated beneath the surface, the dark tentacles gradually disappeared, and at that moment, the creatures beneath the river prayed in unison in their own language.

[Praise Trade]

The train had already left the Manlawi Bridge, and everyone's worries hadn't come true. They all breathed a sigh of relief, while those without the contamination symptoms were quite frightened; they would likely face a memory cleansing process after disembarking. Ria was too far from the tentacles, which had automatically dissipated back into his body.

This act was a test; he revealed to the plague doctors that he wanted to explore the secret of the canal connecting Lake Ega, and he successfully found part of the secret. Even so, the plague doctors did not stop him.

"There's a corner of a sacrificial array beneath the river... Such a massive sacrificial array, to which being is it used for sacrifices, and how many offerings would such a thing require?"

Ria dared not think any further. The name "Guardians of Secrets" was not without reason. They were guarding something unknown to others, something like a treasure buried in the yellow earth, waiting for the disordered to explore. Moreover, the plague doctors were the group that buried the treasure.

They should be happy that disordered individuals can discover these things on their own.

After using many of her extraordinary abilities to deal with the underwater supernatural creatures, Ria gradually felt a bit sleepy.

After the train left the bridge, the crows flew away, and little Swarth stopped making any noise. Everything seemed to have returned to normal.

Now, Riah needs to take advantage of his free time to think carefully about how to portray the werewolf meme. In fact, if he can successfully portray the lucky one, Riah doesn't mind temporarily abandoning the werewolf.

But as you can tell from the name, it's a meme that requires luck. Ria is rarely associated with luck; he spends most of his time in misfortune.

Rather, he doubted whether any person with contamination disorder could actually successfully replicate this meme.

"Swald, how are you feeling right now?"

Ria looked down and saw that Little Swarth was still half-asleep, looking like it wanted to sleep but was reluctant to. According to its usual habits, it should be playing with its host now, instead of sleeping here without any purpose.

It was just that it was really listless right now. Little Swarth felt that every feather on its body was exhausted, and its mind was not clear, so it saw double.

Its host comforted it, saying it would be fine after it woke up, but it was reluctant to go to sleep.

It gets very sad when it can't see Ria when it closes its eyes.

When it's sad, it doesn't want to sleep even more; this reluctance to sleep is probably a common problem for all children.

When Little Swarth is feeling down, he also has an urge to destroy everything; his instinct is to eat people and to hear their cries of agony.

It just found that boring; killing was not as interesting as playing with Ria and biting off Ria's neck.

From the perspective of mythical creatures, its capacity for self-awareness has surpassed that of most creatures related to the extraordinary.

After all, it possesses independent consciousness and its own thinking ability. It is not swayed by instinct, nor is it easily corrupted or seduced into losing its rationality and becoming an accomplice to pollution.
