The Record of Unusual Creatures

Chapter 300 Great Danger

A huge sculpture stood quietly in the long hall. Hao Ren looked at the sculpture and was stunned for more than ten seconds before turning his head uncertainly: "Is that you?"

Vivian was even more puzzled: "...it looks a bit similar, but I don't remember that the Olympus family made a sculpture for me? Their family has very strict requirements for this."

But those who were more surprised than Hao Ren and Vivian were Hesiana and Jean. They had explored this space more than once with the expedition team, but they did not remember that there was such a sculpture here. Hessiana Anna grabbed her hair and asked Gene: "Old stubborn, was this thing here when we came last time?"

Gene shook his head vigorously: "No, definitely not. I wouldn't be able to see such a big thing in front of my eyes. This long hall was still empty when I came here last time."

"Does that mean this sculpture just appeared?" Hao Ren looked at the puzzling scene in front of him in disbelief, and quickly ran to the sculpture to look at it carefully. This is a statue that is four to five meters high. It is quite rare among ancient Greek sculptures that are accustomed to shaping full-length figures in real proportions. Its workmanship is exquisite and lifelike. It can even be said that it is not the same as Vivian herself except that it does not exaggerate the color. Pretty much the same. In the sculpture, Vivian stands expressionless with her hands down, and this is a special situation: Ancient Greek sculptures are accustomed to using various movements of the characters to show the physical characteristics of the protagonist. It is rare to see such a featureless and rigid stand. Condition.

But the most eye-catching thing is that Vivian in the statue is wearing a strange style of clothing. It is wide and gorgeous, like some kind of Chinese skirt with special religious significance. The collar is high, and the whole body is covered with complicated lace and decorative patterns. It doesn't look like ancient Greek style clothing in any way.

Let alone ancient Greece... Even if you were to throw this outfit into an online game, you would have to be a member for at least twenty years to get it. Hao Ren suspected that it was at least +13 just for the lace on the collar. Do you dare to wear anything casually on the street, except for wearing it during religious ceremonies? It is easy to fly when the wind strength exceeds Level 6...

If he hadn't been so familiar with Vivian's face, Hao Ren wouldn't have believed that this graceful sculpture, dressed like a lifetime member of a domestic web game, was the poor guy he knew who poured oil by the gram for every scrambled egg. He touched Vivian's arm with his elbow: "You have no impression at all?"

"Of course I have no impression." Vivian was also stunned by the clothes. "If I had such a set of clothes back then...would I still have to look for people to feed me all day long?"

Vivian's words made Hao Ren extremely sad, and she quickly comforted her with words of comfort: "Let the past be in the past, we won't live such a miserable life again..."

At this time, Betsy circled around the base of the sculpture, and with the professional instinct of a mercenary, she began to search for the hidden mechanisms of the statue. She found that the color of the base of the sculpture was slightly different from the surrounding ground. She stepped forward and used a small dagger. He scraped it gently a few times: "This doesn't seem to be a stone... Look at the powder, it looks like some kind of quick artificial material."

Hao Ren stepped forward and touched it, and found that his hand was stained with a layer of fine stone powder. The actual texture of the sculpture was much softer than the material it appeared to be. He remembered that this sculpture didn't exist when Hesiana came last time, so he made a bold guess: "Do you think someone rushed out the work and put it here in the past two days? Hessiana, you came here last time. What time is it here?”

Hesiana really didn't want to get closer to Hao Ren, but she still had to answer questions: "The last time I came here was four days ago. There is a time difference, but your guess is very unreliable - the key to the entrance to the ruins The old stubborn and I hold it in our hands. We can only open the door by working together. Who can come in and put this sculpture? And even if there are other keys, you said that the person who opens the door and comes in risks being chased by the two vampire clans just for this. What's the purpose of putting a sculpture in here? Of course, it would be easier to understand if I was the one who put the sculpture in it. After all, I am a big fan of Lady Vivian..."

This girl's last words were so righteous that even Vivian just opened her mouth and didn't know what to say to her. Gene glanced at Hesiana with a strange expression: "Tell the truth, did you put this sculpture in? I think you are really capable of doing such a thing..."

Hesiana waved her hands vigorously: "No, no... I think so, but Lady Vivian will definitely get beaten after seeing her. She doesn't like this. And you see, this dress doesn't look like something I could design - —It’s possible that Andrea in your family is obsessed with designing clothes, and the clothes of the family dog ​​are all embroidered with Van Gogh’s paintings..."

Lily listened more and more impatiently, so she directly used her broad mind to help fill the hole: "Don't think about it. After all, Bat was very familiar with Zeus's family back then. They carved a statue of Bat for his birthday. It's also possible that it was a gift - maybe it was destroyed by the demon hunter before it could be given out. As for why the sculpture appears here, we just treat it as a plot requirement..."

Hao Ren and Vivian shouted in unison: "Bullshit!"

Lily shrank her neck, then squatted down next to Vivian's sculpture and stretched out her claws to scratch hard: "Bullying people... bullying people... I dug up your statue..."

Hao Ren and Vivian didn't bother to talk to her, and while Lily was sharpening her claws, they began to search around the long hall for possible secret passages and stone doors. According to the records on the stone slabs of the previous corridor, this long hall is connected to the research room and the storage room. The storage room contains an ancient relic that the Olympus family has studied for a long time, and it is believed that this relic is very likely to be related to the dream throne. At the same time, the strange energy environment in this different space may also be released by that thing. It can be said that it is Hao Ren's current target. However, everyone searched around and found no secret passage here. The data terminal scanned that there was indeed an energy source in this long hall. However, that energy source was mixed with the surrounding complex radiation environment and was constantly changing its position. It seemed that It's not as simple as simple physical coordinates.

"It seems that the storage warehouse and the research room are not literally 'connected' to the long hall," Yzaks followed and searched around before finally guessing, "Maybe there is a space structure here? To ensure safety or something. …”

Hao Ren suddenly remembered that Vivian had said something very inexplicable at the end of her interpretation of the runes when she mentioned the function of this temple. This temple was not only a storage warehouse, a research institute, but also a "prison". At that time, he He didn't understand what was going on. When Yzaks reminded him, and Vivian's abnormal behavior after sensing the energy environment here, he immediately thought of something.

What the "gods" of Olympus studied here back then were probably not very interesting!

He immediately asked the data terminal to increase the scanning intensity, looking for structures such as space cracks that might be hidden here. The data terminal cautiously reminded him: "This has certain risks. The energy environment here is very unstable, and if there is space If there is a crack, it is probably connected to something like a trap. It is easy to find the door with this machine, but if you want to get in safely..."

Before the data terminal finished speaking, Lily suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! Look, I've discovered something again!"

Hao Ren quickly ran over to take a look and found that Lily had scratched a large piece of Vivian's statue. This extremely boring and insane husky really had his own persistence in some inexplicable place. But the powder that Lily scratched off is undergoing some kind of change: they are shaking on the ground, then slowly floating up, and re-condensing to the sculpture!

Lily simply took out her ice and fire claws and cut a few scars on the sculpture. The fine white powder fell off, but the powder stayed on the ground for a short while and then floated back to its original position.

This sculpture is like a precisely designed magnetic field, constantly absorbing scattered dust and reshaping its own shape!

"I seem to have guessed where this thing came from..." Hao Ren vaguely guessed something, but just when he reached out and was about to touch the sculpture, the whole temple suddenly shook!

A strange low roar came from nowhere. The vibrations in the temple became stronger and stronger with this roar. Dust fell from the ceiling of the temple, and everyone at the scene felt that there were traces of dust on their skin. There was a tingling sensation like an electric shock. Betsy was the most sensitive to this feeling. She was completely human and she immediately exclaimed: "Ah! It hurts!"

Hao Ren saw an obvious layer of white shimmer floating on Betsy's exposed skin. The skin under the shimmer became redder and redder at a speed visible to the naked eye. But at this critical moment, a burst of water mist suddenly appeared from Coming from all directions, Nangong Wuyue controlled the water vapor to form a temporary protective layer. The scales on her long tail emitted a blue glow under the influence of powerful magic: "Radiation! There is radiation!"

The alarm of the data terminal rang wildly: "High-danger radiation! High-danger radiation! The intensity is rising rapidly and is about to exceed the limit that team members can bear. It is recommended to evacuate immediately. It is recommended to evacuate immediately - why are you still standing there! The reactor in this place is... My mother is out of bail!"
