Abyss Notes [Unlimited]

Experienced adventurers enter the "birdcage" and have already expected everything they may encounter: either the kingdom of peace or a painful death.

But no one expected that they would "melt".

The "melting" mentioned by Bai Chan is not the death of the body, but a slow assimilation: Over a long period of time, the adventurers bound by the land will be swallowed by the land and eventually become a part of the land.

They weren't dead, but they weren't alive either.This is a strange way of survival: the bones of the adventurers turn into roots in the soil, and the flesh and blood turn into stones, sand, and clay. The only thing that can prove that they are human—the evidence that they were once human is what emerges from the muddy water. Mud brown features.

Even more than that.

Bai Chan pointed to the surrounding stones.That boulder, you have to stand far enough to see that it vaguely looks like a few people hugging each other tightly, as if they are afraid of the cold to keep warm, and it seems to be the last dependence on other people's bodies when they are dying.Smaller stones are scattered around, half-embedded in the ground, are a few silent heads, the shape of the bones can barely be seen.

"There are still trees." Bai Chan said.

On the dead black trunk, Lean Ling poked the same black branches.The branches stretched out their teeth and claws, Yu Zhou tried his best to distinguish, and suddenly saw the position of the elbow.The moment he recognized his elbow, he understood the black dead trees around him: all of them were human bodies assimilated with the trunk, the hands and feet were covered with rough bark, twisted stiffly, they were half-dead people, the parts of trees. corpse.

Yu Zhou's scalp was numb.

Even Liu Yingnian, who always liked to ask questions about all signs of chaos in the "birdcage", kept his mouth shut.What they saw was completely beyond their imagination.

No one could endure such a fate, so long as he had seen true vitality.Yu Zhou looked at Baichan, Baichan silently watched everything in front of him, and said after a long time, "So, I want to protect, my 'birdcage'."

Yu Zhou and the others refused to step into the swamp, and the dried fish lost its strength and could not take off for the time being.Everyone had to camp and stay in place.

Xu Qingyuan was the one with the strongest adaptability among them. He and Fan Xing followed Bai Chan to collect some normal firewood. Liu Yingnian sat down next to Yu Zhou with his head in his arms, trembling all over.

"Stop recording?" Yu Zhou asked in order to divert his attention.

Liu Yingnian: "No...no need...it doesn't make sense..."

Yugan also tried his best to comfort them: "Oh, don't worry! With Yujia and Fan Xing here, they will be able to leave safely."

Liu Yingnian took out his notebook, suddenly became angry and threw the notebook into the swamp. "No point! This thing is useless! I can't go back!" he broke down and yelled.

The notes recorded what he saw and heard along the way, and Yu Zhou was reluctant, so he hurried to the edge of the swamp.The notebook fell between the two faces, and the four cloudy eyes moved, staring at the notebook.Yu Zhou supported the stone and leaned over to grab the notebook, looking at him with both faces.Yu Zhou heard a deep and equally turbid sigh, trembling out from the two mouths.

He was terrified, grabbed the note in a hurry, and kept shaking off the water stains on it.

The two faces in the swamp slowly moved closer, Yu Zhou couldn't help but take a step back.

They are talking.

"...What?" Although Yu Zhou was frightened, the two faces were indeed opening and closing their mouths, talking about something.There are many mysteries here, and he is terrified in his heart, but he still musters up the courage to bend down to listen.

The two faces began to sigh a long time, one closed its eyes, and the other barely showed a little expression, wrinkling its nose and eyes, like panting in pain.

The still-submerged heads on the tree trunks were also panting. The loss of vocal cords made them unable to make normal sounds, and the skin and muscles changed into plant fibers, making it even more difficult to move.

For a moment, Yuzhou's surroundings were filled with strange vibrations.

Yu Zhou didn't understand the meaning at all: to him, they were just a bunch of broken and indistinguishable gurgling sounds.

Back to Liu Yingnian, Yu Zhou asked him, "Really don't want it?"

Liu Yingnian shook his head severely.Yu Zhou had no choice but to put away his notes and put them together with Abyss Notes.

The Abyss Notes are still those few lines, the horns are broken, and the wings are burned.Inexplicably, Yu Zhou closed his diary, feeling completely bewildered.

The "birdcages" he had experienced were really not many, and the one in front of him was probably the scariest and filthiest one, even more incredible than the dense forest he was in before.He suddenly remembered those little four-legged snakes.If the strange fog continues to erode and the swamp continues to expand, will they also become faces in the muddy water?

Yugan was still jumping around, trying to make Liu Yingnian happy.

After staring at the dried fish for a long time, Yu Zhou's heart skipped a beat—he suddenly noticed the biggest difference between the seven "birdcages" in the Land of Wandering and the previous ones.

The cage masters here, including White Toad, are committed to eliminating the human form of the adventurers.

In the "birdcage" managed by Bai Chan, even if there are adventurers like Xiaoyou who keep their human appearance, there are still a large number of people who have abandoned their human appearance.Baichan once said that he doesn't like people and doesn't want to be a person.Xiaoyou also said at the end that he wanted to "change his way of life". Is this also a subtle influence?

In the other "birdcages", the cage owner's approach is simple and rude. Whether the adventurers are willing or not, they will eventually become monsters, four-legged snakes, or faces melted in the swamp.

Obviously, the cage owners are very satisfied with such a world.

The will of the "Gap" wants to create a human being, to have a child in human form.

But these children are ashamed of the human form.

A little bonfire was lit, and they passed a long sleepless night.

Fan Xing turned into a huge body and surrounded everyone with his tail.Bai Chan was protected by him, feeling uncomfortable, and kept muttering: "If I become a dragon, I will be bigger than you."

Fan Xing: "You have changed."

Baichan: "...I will definitely restore Jackie Chan."

He was vague, and Yu Zhou could only guess that there was some secret between the skeleton and him that no one else could share.

Surprised, Liu Yingnian whimpered suddenly while nibbling dry food, and suddenly became excited after sobbing, yelling something like "I'll just die".In the end, it was Xu Qingyuan who directly knocked the person unconscious, only to find peace.

Bai Chan was holding a severed tentacles in his hand.

The skin of the black tentacles is smooth, with faintly visible red lines on the skin, which are gradually drying out as time goes by.It twitches occasionally after it loses its vitality, and as it moves, some sticky things like white pulp will flow out of the incision.Yu Zhou sniffed it, the smell was weird.

"This is, you humans, the so-called blood." Bai Chan said, "If you touch it, it will be affected."

Yu Zhou is calm, he is protected by the power of An Liu, and will not be affected.Even so, the thing on his hand was still uncomfortable, he turned his head and dried his fingers on Fan Xing's scales.

Fan Xing: "..."

After Yu Zhou finished wiping, he patted him reassuringly.

"Who took away this part of mother's body?" Yugan asked, "You must know, why didn't you tell me?"

Bai Chan's mouth was tightly closed, his eyes were tightly closed, and his face was completely black, unable to capture any information at all.

"...Among the seven cage masters, there must be a leader." Fan Xing said, "This sister is the leader?"

Bai Chan raised one eyelid, staring at Fan Xing with blue eyes.

Fan Xing: "It's your sister, and of course it's also my sister."

The dried fish was dangling in mid-air, imitating the swimming of bees, and suddenly asked: "She has a name, right?"

Bai Chan's eyes widened.

Yugan: "... Then I know who it is."

There are not many children named after the "gap" will, Yu Gan thought for a while, and was about to say the child's name, Bai Chan covered its mouth.

"I can't say it!" Bai Chan became fluent in a rare way, "She will hear your call and appear here!"

Yugan: "If you don't say it...don't say it...you're going to break my fish bone..."

Bai Chan let go quickly.Yugan coughed twice, and muttered: "It's amazing, she can take these tentacles from her mother."

Baichan: "It's mother, willingly, for her."

Yu Gan and Fan Xing were surprised: "How is it possible!"

Bai Chan: "She, fulfilled, mother's wish."

Fan Xing couldn't believe it: "She, like me, can also transform into an adult?"

Bai Chan hesitated: "There is a little... different."

Yugan's astonishment was stronger than Fan Xing's, obviously because it was more familiar with the "sister" who couldn't reveal her name than Fan Xing: "How did she do it? It's impossible!"

Seeing that Yu Zhou was puzzled, Yu Gan turned his head and explained: "Among my mother's more than 200 children, if you want to say who is the least human, she ranks second, and no one is qualified to rank first."

Until he fell asleep, Yu Zhou didn't know the name of the child they were talking about.

Yu Zhou only knew that she was ugly and completely inhuman, and she was once hated by the will.Will intends to reabsorb it, making it a mindless jellyfish, but Anryu stops it.An Liu persuaded Will to give her more attention, "A real mother will love her child unconditionally", and so on.

Will briefly believed these words and named her, but soon got tired of it, and after having a new child, it never thought of this little thing with a name again.

She is very tenacious, and An Liu is busy taking care of other new children, and she lives alone for a long time.Although she looks ugly, she still has an honorable name—the jealous children made her suffer a lot.

When An Liu had time to go back to take care of her, she was surprised to find that she already had several close brothers and sisters.

"I don't need you anymore." She said to An Liu.

When Yu Zhou fell into a long dream, he vaguely saw a wriggling mass of flesh in the darkness.

At first, he thought he had entered Bai Chan's consciousness again, but he soon discovered that there was thin water under his feet, and the sound of wind and rain around him, which was completely different from Bai Chan's consciousness.

The squirming mass of flesh rolled in the dark, and the glimmer of rain reflected part of its body: tangled strips of flesh.

Suddenly Yu Zhou's hair was terrified, he didn't dare to approach, and whispered: "Fan Xing."

When there was no response, he whispered again: "An Liu?"

The surroundings were silent, only the writhing body in the black rainy night was in the same space as him.

It seemed to be in pain and something sinister was going through.Yu Zhou didn't dare to approach, he felt his feet were cold, and when he lowered his head, he found himself standing in the swamp.

Countless mud-brown faces floated on the surface of the muddy water, rushing towards him.Yu Zhou was so frightened that he backed away immediately.Unexpectedly, his feet were tightly bound by the muddy water of the swamp, and he fell and sat in the water.

Immediately, faces in the mud flooded his hands and feet.They opened their mouths, bit Yu Zhou's arms and legs, and dragged him into the water.Yu Zhou instantly felt an unstoppable sinking: he shouted out loud, but couldn't make a sound, and fell into the pitch-black swamp in an instant.

The mud faces opened their mouths, and the mouth opened wider and wider, and the same wet mud brown claws stretched out from the mouth, grabbing towards him.Yu Zhou waved his hands and feet to resist, but his hands and feet were so heavy that he couldn't move at all.

Yu Zhou's body was decomposing and melting, but the surroundings were warm.The tangible warmth made him tired, and the sense of fear had disappeared. He slowly floated up and down in the black space, relaxed all over, floating like a fish swimming through the black waters.

The grunts heard during the day sounded again, rhythmic and hypnotic.His body became lighter and lighter, and he completely melted, but it turned out that this melting was neither painful nor uncomfortable, but rather joyful.Yu Zhou saw his body being infinitely elongated and transformed into roots, stones, sand...

--"elder brother!"

Yu Zhou opened his eyes suddenly, sweating profusely.

The happy voice of the child seemed to be still in his ears, and he found himself standing on the edge of the swamp, with his companions sleeping behind him.

How did he get here, Yu Zhou didn't know.Everything in the dream is rapidly disappearing from his brain, like a few drops of water under the scorching sun.He didn't bother to call Fan Xing and Yugan, and tried his best to remember what he saw in the dream.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a light flashing in the dark forest.

His eyes subconsciously followed the light, and Yu Zhou opened his eyes wide in surprise: he saw a glowing figure jumping on the swamp.

Faintly, there was a strange crisp laughter.

The voice that woke him up came from Jiujiu, but the figure was clearly an adult female.

The figure walks through the swamp, just like walking on a flat road, without a single ripple under its feet.She exudes a slight white light all over her body, her long white hair almost reaches her ankles, her movements are as light and beautiful as a fairy.Yu Zhou even blushed a little and didn't dare to look directly at her: the woman was not naked, her figure was plump and slim, but her movements were free and easy, without any shyness.

The fog at night is suspended in the air and does not fall to the ground.But Yu Zhou can't always see what a woman looks like.He wasn't close enough, and the woman seemed to be surrounded by a faint mist like a veil.

The woman stood still and turned her head slightly.Yu Zhou lowered his eyelids, looking at a woman like this, it was always impolite.

But he immediately raised his head, because he remembered the "sister" that Fan Xing, Yu Gan and Bai Chan discussed.

The woman crouched across the swamp and put her white arms into the swamp.She was splashing water, chuckling, very happy voice.The dark swamp was illuminated by the faint light on her body, and a small space was illuminated, and the mud-brown faces surged and approached her one after another.The slender white fingers stroked the mud face lightly, and a happy sigh rose from the swamp like steam.

Yu Zhou couldn't help taking a step back.The sounds frightened him.

The woman noticed Yu Zhou's movements, she raised her head and saw Yu Zhou.

It was a chuckle again, crisp and happy, the sound like a bird's song.

She raised her arm and waved at Yu Zhou.

In an instant, all the mud faces surrounding the woman turned to Yu Zhou.
