Accompanied by the dragon's chant, there was a rumbling thunder sound like a drum beating.A large black low-pressure cloud rolled over the skyline, and a huge strange creature galloped from the far end of the sky like a divine soldier descending from the sky.

It is a gigantic creature that seems to be composed of several animals.Dragon crown, snake head, scorpion tail, lion paws in front, eagle feet in back, the whole body is covered with golden scales, and on the slender crowned snake head, there is a pair of golden pupils.When running in the sky, the airflow holds up its strong front paws, while the sharp rear feet vacate slightly, showing an extremely strong attacking posture.

"Snake Dragon [Note 1]..." Xu Qing looked at the creature hovering over the main hall in surprise, and murmured, "This thing really exists."

Marduk pointed the scepter skyward a second time.

This time, black clouds approached in an instant, and a glaring lightning tore through the heavy cloud curtain.Surrounding the city, thunder exploded everywhere, deafening.The heavy rain poured down, and the first raindrops evaporated into water vapor the moment they touched the ground. For a while, the whole city was steamed with fog, and it was impossible to see anything clearly.

Suddenly there was a howling roar from under the main hall.

Er'anne had arrived near the temple, and in an instant, its figure suddenly skyrocketed!

Its pale face like a plaster statue appeared outside the window of the seven-story pagoda.It fixedly stared at Marduk, the whites of its eyes moved, and an expression of exasperation appeared on the rigid face like a mould.

Marduk raised the scepter for the third time.

Thousands of thunderbolts suddenly gathered in one place, and with the sound of crackling sparks, they slammed down on Er'anne!

Eranne was blown to the city wall, and the huge fish body hit the city wall straight.There was a "bang" on the side of the city wall that was hit, and it all fell apart.

Er'anne got up from the rubble and waste soil, his face stiffened with a "click", and a crack suddenly appeared.It suddenly stopped, as if it couldn't believe that its face was split open.A few seconds later, E'anne raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, beating the fish's fins furiously, and the blue and white fish scales turned bright red again from top to bottom like blood.

Marduk stepped down from the throne and stretched out his hand to the linnorm in the sky.

"Mushhushi." He called out the snake dragon's name.The voice of the Lord God of Babylon is majestic and deep, like the faint thunder in the sky.

The snake dragon raised its head to the sky and roared silently.The light shone brightly, and Marduk by the window disappeared, and his figure appeared on the golden armored back of the linnorm in the sky.The snake dragon's front paws stepped on the air a few times, and suddenly it stepped on the thunder and lightning, carrying its master and swooping down towards Er'anne!

Marduk and Eranne fought together, and the sky and the earth changed color for a while, the torrential rain poured down, the city wall collapsed with a loud noise, and the two gods in Babylonian mythology fought inseparably.

The body of Eranne's fish was as hot as a branding iron, and as soon as the heavy rain touched its body, it would immediately vaporize, which made it difficult for Marduk to get close to its body.Huge blood-colored bubbles spit out one after another from its fish mouth, and Mushihushi accidentally touched the corner of the blood bubble, and the blood bubble burst instantly, and the splashed thick black blood instantly corroded its airtight body. The golden scale, the piece of blood that was splashed was blurred.

Mushihushi roared silently, his fiery golden pupils burst out with dragon-like majesty and fury, and finally seized the opportunity to overturn Eranne to the ground, and pierced Eranne mercilessly with his long tail with scorpion needles. The fish eyes in it firmly nailed it to the ground.

Er'anne writhed desperately, the yellowish pus flowing out of the fish's eyes left scorched black marks on the tail of the snake dragon and scorpion.And Mushihushi was not disturbed by the pain, even though he was panting violently, he still faithfully stepped on Eranne's head and tail for his master.

Marduk raised the scepter silently, this time, the brilliance on the golden scepter was like tempered glass.

He stabbed the handle of the stick into the face of Eranne!

The pale human face, which was already riddled with holes, finally shattered with a "click".

In an instant, a column of blood shot up from Er'anne's shattered face, submerged into the rolling thundercloud and turned into a rain of blood.For a time, the wind howled, the lightning flashed and thundered, and the pouring blood rain gathered into a sea.

Marduk put down his scepter, silently watching the monstrous sea of ​​blood gathered by the blood of his people.Mushihushi obediently leaned on one side, licking his palm.

He turned his head and took one last look at the Essagila Temple, where there was an endless stream of believers in the past, which was the proof that he was believed in and admired.But now when Yimeng wakes up, the grand scene in the city is no longer there, and the temple is swaying in the sea of ​​blood.

Marduk looked up at the sky, and the blood-red raindrops hit his face in big ones.His figure became lighter and weaker, and the two figures of a god and a beast slowly disappeared in the heavy rain.

<<

Cheng Mo's heart relaxed, and the feeling of his heart being tightly held by a big hand finally disappeared.

Er Annei was dead, and the scorching air was washed away by the heavy rain. As Qin Chuhe promised, they only lost one member in the last two levels. The progress of this dungeon should not be far from clearing the level.

However, things were not as simple as he imagined.

The torrential rain did not stop with the disappearance of Marduk.At this moment, the sky and the earth are chaotic, and the wind and rain are intertwined. The rising rain creates huge waves in the wind, and the roaring thunderstorm is like a war drum that destroys the world.

"Big flood..." Xu Qing gritted his teeth and looked out the window, "Why is there a big flood in the end?"

"There is a great flood that destroys the world in almost all mythological systems, and Mesopotamian mythology is no exception." Qin Chuhe's tone was not flustered, but his expression was slightly surprised, as if the flood did not happen when he started "Marduk is the main god of Babylonian mythology, and also the god of thunderstorms. In theory, the rainstorm should stop automatically after he disappears."

"But now the fact is that the rain has not stopped, but it's getting bigger and bigger!" The rising water has approached the fifth floor of the temple. It won't be long before it goes up, and all of us will be drowned before we pass the level."

Cheng Mo suddenly remembered something.

"Babel Tower." He said.

"What?" Xu Qing was stunned.

"Babel Tower." Cheng Mo repeated, "Didn't you mention that the Essagila Temple is the incarnation of the Tower of Babel in the legend? Even if it is not finished, it must be a tall tower. If this tower If it really exists, we can follow the tower all the way up."

"The key, there should be a key in the temple that can open the Tongtian Tower." Qin Chuhe pondered for a moment, then raised his head and scanned around where they were, "Only this floor is the main hall of Marduk, if there is anything important The props will definitely appear here too. Look for them separately!"

Several people scattered to their respective areas, frantically looking for the possible key based on their own experience.The torrential rain outside the temple showed no signs of stopping. The rumbling thunder beat the drums of death, and the strong wind blew the horn from hell. Everyone's heart trembled.

tick.tick.

Cheng Mo found that Qin Chuhe didn't check the surroundings of the hall meticulously like Xu Qing and Liu Xiao did. He just stood in the center of the temple, staring at the seat of Marduk in front of him, thinking about something.

Since Marduk has awakened, the current seat of the gods is in ruins.The golden statue that lost the presence of the main god has long been broken into pieces, leaving only some slightly intact fragments, allowing people to distinguish some parts such as hands and feet.Cheng Mo looked at it for a while and didn't see why, but his intuition told him that Qin Chuhe was looking for the right direction, so he walked over and asked:

"What are you looking for here at the Divine Throne?"

"In Babylonian mythology, Marduk has two symbols, the linnorm and the shovel." The water was already overflowing to the bottom of their feet, but Qin Chuhe didn't care, he searched the pile of gold fragments inch by inch, and explained , "The linnorm was summoned by him with the scepter to fight, but the other weapon, the shovel, did not appear. According to common sense, when Marduk was fighting, the linnorm and the shovel would be used at the same time, but this time I only saw snake dragon."

"So, where is the shovel?" Qin Chuhe asked, and then he answered the question for himself, "From the moment he woke up, I haven't seen him take that shovel, so the shovel is probably still there In this pile of debris."

"He would rather use the scepter as a weapon than the shovel that is always with him. This matter is very strange in itself, and when I think about what happened to the Tongtian Tower just now, I guess that the shovel that was left behind may be the one that opened the Tongtian Tower. The key... huh?" Qin Chuhe's brows loosened suddenly as if he saw something.He stretched out his hand and picked up an extremely small fragment that was only two knuckles long from the ruins of the golden statue.

Cheng Mo found that it was a small and exquisite shovel. One side of the shovel was smooth and flat, and the other side had extremely regular tooth patterns—like a key.

"it's here."

In Qin Chuhe's palm, the small key suddenly shone like a firefly.It flew up from Qin Chuhe's palm, landed on the bottom of the divine seat, and poked lightly and precisely into a card slot that they hadn't noticed before.

With a "click", like the sound of some mechanism being opened, Marduk's huge throne suddenly opened layer by layer like a lotus flower, and there was a roar from the ground, which even overwhelmed the sound of thunder and rain all over the sky.

"Everyone come up." Qin Chuhe flipped onto the god seat neatly, and then pulled Cheng Mo up, and Liu Xiao, who was in the form of a little girl in Xu Qing's arms, also climbed up.

The next second when all four of them climbed onto the throne, the rest of the ground except the throne collapsed, and the entire Essagila Temple fell apart, and the fallen pieces fell into the turbulent water, only the seat remained. raised.

The pillar rises from the ground, and the god seat carries four people, extending straight to the sky, as if its goal is the infinite height, the place where the god lives.Seen from a distance, it looks like a tall tower that soars into the sky.

Gradually the rain stopped, the thunderstorm died down, and the dark clouds dispersed.Looking around, the vast flood is boundless, and the city of Babylon, which is hidden under the water, is nowhere to be seen. They are the only remaining creatures in this world.

"Come on, we are going to build a tower with the top reaching the sky, in order to make our name famous." Liu Xiao read softly.

The game prompt sounded at this moment:

"Instance No. 1043 ends here. The initial number of players in the game: 10, the number of survivors: 4, the player points will be automatically settled by the system, and there are still 20 or 19 days before the exit time of the instance..."

"Goodbye, good luck." Liu Xiao bowed to them and disappeared into the screen.

"I don't want to see you again." Xu Qing snorted coldly, glanced at the two of them, sighed after a while, and said, "But I wish you good luck."

Xu Qing also exited the room.

"10, 9, 8..."

During the icy countdown, Cheng Mo looked at Qin Chuhe, his heart seemed to be filled with thousands of words, many questions, many perplexities, many puzzles, but the words turned into a simple sentence:

"Will I ever see you again?"

"..." Qin Chuhe was stunned, and looked at him seriously, "Do you still want to see me again?"

Cheng Mo nodded.

So Qin Chuhe smiled, and nodded to Cheng Mo in the gradually blurred world.But Cheng Mo felt that the smile didn't look happy, but rather sad.
