Chapter 66 Scales
Although these two mercenaries have completely cleaned up the mural in front of them and quietly retreated to the side, everyone looked at me and I looked at you. There was deep hesitation in each other's expressions, and no one dared to really go forward and check it carefully.
Seeing everyone's lingering fear, I couldn't help but smile helplessly.
Obviously, although we still haven't found anything strange around us, we are full of fear of the current Black Rock City, and even the specific appearance carved on this mural does not dare to spy on the slightest.
If I think about it carefully, I can actually understand all this, because even myself cannot muster up the courage to bravely investigate the cleaned mural.
As the saying goes, human fear comes from the unknown. We know nothing about this Black Rock City, and just now, we have inexplicably endured a sudden attack. In such a situation, it is natural for everyone to be afraid of it.
In fact, if the enemy we are facing suddenly appears and attacks us, even if his cultivation is so powerful that we cannot resist, then we will not be so scared. Instead, we will be blocked by soldiers and cover up the water and soil, and try our best to find the vitality hidden in desperate situations.
But now, our enemies have not appeared, but chose to hide quietly in the darkness and may launch a sudden attack on us at any time. In such a frightening state, it is too difficult for everyone to eliminate this fear.
But it is obvious that there seems to be no word fear in Chunting's dictionary. For him, this emotion may never appear on his face.
Just when everyone was afraid of being afraid and afraid to move forward, Chunting was completely different from us. He frowned and looked at us with a little dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Those who are afraid will never achieve great things."
After speaking, Chunting no longer cared about the changing expressions of the people, but instead stepped towards the position where the mercenaries were just now, trying to see what kind of picture the mural presented after being completely cleaned up.
Soon, we learned what it means to be unpredictable.
I was just saying that Chunting was not as happy or angry as she looked so calm on her face, but just as Chunting looked at the complete mural, we could clearly see that Chunting stood there, as if she had seen some incredible picture.
Seeing this scene, everyone was not relieved and suddenly raised it again.
What exactly did Chunting see?
What kind of pictures are depicted on this mural that can make Chunting, a person with such knowledgeable and profound cultivation, show such a shocking expression in front of us for the first time?
Because Chunting is showing strange things now, the fearful people still dare not walk to him to investigate the murals, but out of curiosity, Shen Lang still asked him carefully.
"Brother Ting, Brother Ting, what is the carved content on this mural? Why did your expression become so shocked after seeing it?"
Chunting didn't hear about Shen Lang's questions.
The spring pavilion we see now is very different from the one we knew in the past. Not only does it no longer look as light as usual, but it frowned and filled with sad expressions. Its expression was filled with incredible and at a loss, and he said to himself in disbelief.
"The strange beast in Black Stone City is really it, but if it is really it, how could it be..."
Looking at Chunting's current appearance like a madman, everyone couldn't help but feel a deeper fear than before.
There is no doubt that the biggest reliance among our group is the knowledgeable Chunting.
Not only is Chunting's cultivation unfathomable, but he also knows many things that others don't know at all. It is with his existence that we can get to this day smoothly, and no big accidents have occurred in this process.
And now, from Chunting's words, it is not difficult to hear that he has actually known the true identity of the strange beast hidden in the Black Stone City, but he just doesn't want to admit it.
Logically speaking, we should be considered as knowing ourselves and our enemies now. Since this is the case, we can naturally come up with a good way to deal with the enemy in advance. But Chunting now did not smile, but instead showed such a shocked expression, which was to convey a message to us invisibly.
That is, in Chunting's cognition, our group is definitely not the enemy of that strange beast.
Thinking of this, everyone's expressions became even more serious.
Who is this strange beast?
Looking back on our experiences along the way, even in the Wanxiang Temple, which can be regarded as a life-and-death life, when facing the ancient tyrant Wuzhiqi who was raging the Huai River, Chunting never showed his current expression.
But now in this Black Stone City, we have not even seen the enemy appear. Just after seeing the contents of the complete mural, Chunting showed such an expression.
Thinking of this, the fear in our hearts became heavier and he couldn't help but start to guess secretly what kind of strange beast was that could have such a terrifying deterrent force on Chunting?
However, although our hearts were filled with fear at this moment, everyone was not as hesitant as they had before. Instead, after looking at each other, everyone chose to go forward and came to Chunting with a firm expression.
There is no doubt that everyone is really filled with fear of the unknown, and these are true.
But there is no doubt that besides fear, the friendship in everyone's hearts is also true.
Although Chunting is not good at speaking on weekdays, everyone has known along the way that he is such a cold-hearted person. After his taciturn, what he hides is his care for each of us.
As the saying goes, people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless? Since Chunting is so kind to us, how can we let him be alone in that dangerous place?
Although the fear still cannot fade, we should all stand bravely next to the Chunting Pavilion and face the next test with him.
And just after we stood beside Chunting one after another, we finally understood where the surprise on Chunting's face came from.
As you can see, the cleaned part of this mural is not carved with any era's clothing and armor, but a dense piece of scales!
