Chapter 1851: Chapter 1848: Reception
Sticking closely to the crater left by the explosion, while jumping down between the temples, Han Dong also needed to dodge the heatwaves surging at any moment.
Every explosion at the lower end would certainly trigger a high-temperature heatwave, rushing back in reverse onto the surface…
The dead spirits along the way were also cleansed thoroughly, burnt to ashes.
The opponent seemed to know well that the demons possessed this characteristic of contamination, thus directly killed them upon meeting, not giving any chance for contamination to spread.
“Further below should be the bottom layer, and the sense from the Book of Dead Spirit has become quite intense. Even my bones are slightly trembling.
This situation is not something that can be reversed by wit alone; it also requires luck.
I hope that the remnant pages, during such a long period, have already nurtured a more perfected version, perhaps a perfect dead spirit that can control the ‘remnant pages’ to some extent… enough to confront this group of people head-on.
Otherwise, trying to snatch the remnant pages right under their noses would be too risky.
Even with the presence of the Pope, I might be forcibly detained.”
As Han Dong thought of this, he turned to look at the head above at a glance.
Unexpectedly, both Pope and Eugenes were still at the surface layer a few hundred meters away, seemingly having no intention to come down yet.
“What about the agreed ten meters? However, being this far apart can be safer, even if I am exposed, they can continue to hide and look for another opportunity.”
‘Ten meters’ was just a random distance Han Dong came up with.
What he actually intended was to make them appear not to be a team; Pope and Eugenes deliberately lagged behind to facilitate an emergency escape.
Continuing to jump down a distance of three layers.
Now, the Demon Eye could finally see the clear picture of the deepest layer… The release of the Faceless Domain allowed Han Dong to perfectly blend with the environment, making it almost impossible to be detected.
“That door behind should be the area where the remnant pages are located.
The material of this door is entirely different, with part of the remnant pages’ energy integrated into it. Can it be blown open?”
Just as he finished speaking.
Another heatwave surged up, and Han Dong quickly retreated a step… almost burning off all the white hair on the skull head.
When the heatwave ceased, Han Dong immediately stuck his head out to observe the situation below.
As expected, the bone door leading to the Divine Book Room was not affected by the explosion at all, not budging an inch.
As the Matchstick Man took out another box of white matches and struck it, Han Dong instinctively stepped back.
When his gaze focused on the light blue flame at the tip of the match,
his entire “Demon Eye” surprisingly felt a burning sensation, with tears continuously overflowing from his eye socket… even a wave of heat spread within his soul.
The longer the gaze, the higher the temperature within his soul.
It had been a long time since Han Dong had felt such a direct sense of danger.
“This guy is absurdly strong… even more threatening than Mr. Teacher’s Fifth Incarnation – ‘Rainy Night Shadow’, probably on par with the Deep House level.
If that match were to be thrown on me, the consequences would be unimaginable, even borrowing a god like Baron Sabbath’s incarnation might be necessary to survive.
How troublesome ~ I never thought the first remnant page encountered amidst Shattered Dimension would be so tricky.
Moreover, there’s still an ‘unknown factor’.”
Han Dong turned his gaze towards another out-of-control individual.
“This guy, who looks like some bank clerk, has been messing around the whole time, never really revealing his true ability… only during the previous memory reading did I see him pulling out bills to block the shockwave.
Subsequently, due to the specific nature of the match explosion, he mostly didn’t take out any bills.
If this guy’s strength is similar to the man using the matches, the risk would double, we can only hope there are strong indigenous people behind this door to confront them.”
Han Dong wouldn’t dare to use the Demon Eye to peek at them, as it might directly expose him.
When the out-of-control team all stepped into the bone door,
Han Dong quietly followed, landing silently.
Due to the bone door being slightly ajar, Han Dong standing outside couldn’t see the specific situation inside… at least no movement was coming out yet.
“Strange, these natives should keep all their core combat power inside knowing strong invaders are present, why is there no movement at all.”
Han Dong gestured his two companions to wait above.
Came alone to the bone door,
didn’t rush in but first touched the ‘human skeleton’ carved on the bone door.
At the moment of contact, it felt like a current swept through his brain, plunging Han Dong’s consciousness into the internal world of the Book of Dead Spirit, once again arriving before the giant lying on the plain (First Generation Human).
However, the scene this time was slightly different.
Han Dong could clearly see the giant’s skeletal structure, receiving and accepting information related to ‘bones’.
As his consciousness returned to reality,
the ‘skeleton’ embedded on the door surface was entirely absorbed into Han Dong’s body.
Though currently in a “disguise” state, it was visually apparent that his skeleton under the ice-crystal skin was undergoing a series of transformations, each bone surface streaming a white sheen… copious energy poured out from between the bone materials.
“Could it be… the Dead Spirit Remnants existing here welcoming my arrival?”
Han Dong stuck close to the door slit, stealthily heading inside.
The interior turned out to be a bone space of sizable scale.
A long white bone pathway corresponded directly ahead,
The traces left on the ground indicated the out-of-control team had proceeded along this pathway into the depths… at the end possibly lay the hiding place of ‘remnant pages’.
Just as Han Dong was preparing to follow, about to step into the passage.
A kind of fluid bone rose from the ground, completely sealing off the passage.
the thick bone material oozed from the surrounding walls of the bone space, gathering at the center.
A lady standing two and a half meters tall was born amidst the bone material… though the shape was akin to a human, her organs were entirely different.
Bone-like projections filled her eye sockets, bobbing up and down like tiny particles.
Her abdomen was also bulging high, appearing filled with various children’s skulls, and even the cries of infants could be heard.
Nails of highly dense bone material, their length just grazing the floor.
“Follow me, Faceless One… you are qualified to enter the Divine Book Room.”
Since his disguise had been seen through, Han Dong promptly shifted to his true state, revealing a boiled egg-head, speaking in an ancient tongue through interwoven tentacles:
“Come over first, if that group of intruders detects the changes here, it would be troublesome… even I can’t be sure of stopping them.”
Said the woman, as the ground before her sunk, forming a bone staircase spiraling downward.
Upon confirming no hostility from the other party, Han Dong immediately moved closer.
Even from a danger perspective alone, this woman posed less threat than the out-of-control team… although it was impossible to be sure whether the situation ahead was a trap or opportunity, following was the only choice.
Following the woman down the staircase, the entrance above was promptly sealed with bone liquid. The source of thɪs content is novel⁂fire.net
Arriving at the deepest part of the Divine Book Room,
he caught sight of where the remnant pages were at first glance – “amidst the transparent tanks filled with bone marrow fluid, the remnant pages of the Book of Dead Spirit presented in a single-page state, floating dispersedly.”
However, the scene here made Han Dong’s brow immediately furrow.
Apart from the remnant pages soaked in the center.
The walls were hung with tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of ancient corpses, each connected by conduits from the central tank to their bodies, slowly transfusing bone marrow fluid.
