Chapter 141: A Big Dream (Part 1)
The witch and the Count walked slowly on the sand beside the bone hand. Every step their feet would fall into dry sand. Lothar doubted how much strength he could exert if he wanted to fight the enemy on such a ground. As the two approached, the huge bones in front of them also showed more details, the most obvious of which was the surface of the bone hand. Unlike all the giant bones they had seen before, something on the bone hand emitted a strange reflection under the phosphorus fire. The two looked at each other, then accelerated their pace to approach the bones. When they reached the distance where they could reach out to touch the bones, they were finally sure that the layer of things wrapped outside the bones seemed to be a skin that had not yet been completely generated.
Strictly speaking, Losa and Jialun are not doctors, and they have never seen a newborn doctor, and they have no idea how the fetus develops in the mother. However, anyone who sees the thin, almost transparent substance and the blood vessels that can be seen from it make people believe that what is in front of them is the early form of the skin. However, what is in front of them is not a human fetus, but a giant corpse that should have died for a long time. The shock and the strange feeling that follows is quite uncomfortable.
"Do you think this thing has just grown recently?" Losa asked while stretching out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the things on the bone, but he still didn't really put his hand on it. The witch did not answer, which made the count a little uneasy. He turned around to confirm Jialun's condition, but there was Jialun's shadow behind him. This change made Losa's heart tremble, but before he could do more, a sound gradually became louder, which was the sound of waves.
The Count wanted to move his footsteps, but after struggling for a few times, his legs remained unmoved. He looked down and found that the originally dry sand had turned into moist black at some point, and his calves had also been trapped in the sand. The sound of waves was getting louder and louder. Losa held up the phosphite torch, and he could vaguely see the water flow coming from the edge of the light. The next moment, the waves that had just appeared had already roared to the count and swallowed him up without saying anything.
"Gululu!" The air in the lungs turned into bubbles from the mouth and nose and flowed out of the body uncontrollably. Losa's eyes were wide open, and he was completely unaware of how to react by a series of sudden changes. Fortunately, when he was about to feel the pain of suffocation, the sea water did not flow into his nose, or in other words, the sea water did flow in, but even so, Losa's breathing was still unimpeded. The cold sea water became warm after a few seconds. The count looked at the heat source curiously, but saw that his upper body had become naked at some point, and the lines on his skin were emitting heat.
When things developed to this point, Lothar's heart settled down, because he already knew who made these abnormalities happen. When he looked away from his tattoo on his body, the position in front of him that was supposed to be the bone of a giant's hand was empty, with only a deep and invisible deep blue sea. The bubbles, as the movement of the sea water, were turned, in the depths in front of the count, something came.
"I think you can contact me in another way, such as sending a letter or asking someone to send a message." The Count said underwater, and he realized that he could not only breathe in this area of water, but also speak. Of course, Lothar knew very well that this was not because he already had the ability to survive in the water like a sirens, but because here, it was not really underwater.
"Next time, I will consider it." The voice of the Lord of the Destiny was still the same as last time, except that the way He spoke changed a little.
"So can I know the reason why you contacted me this time?" Compared to the first time when I was facing the other side, Losa's current state has improved a lot. On the one hand, it is because he is not injured now, which is naturally different from when he was dying before. On the other hand, it is that he is no longer ignorant of the other side. At least, he knows that the destination has no malice towards him. However, this does not mean that the count is used to the surrounding environment, and the indescribable fear still grasps his heart tightly, making Losa eager to end the conversation.
"You have breached the contract." The words fell. The count's body suddenly suffered severe pain. He saw that the tattoo on his upper body became tightened quickly like a physical chain, twisting his muscles, bones, and even internal organs. His blood mixed with other things floated in the sea through the gaps of the chains.
"I didn't!" Losa tried all his strength to defend himself, and then the severe pain disappeared instantly, and his body was intact.
The sea water was dead silent. The existence under the deep water was waiting for more explanation from the Count. Lothar tried to calm his breath, but no matter what, his heartbeat was as fast as a mouse on a hot pot. Now, he finally recalled what he was talking to, and he finally remembered how humble and powerless he was in front of this existence. "I did not breach the contract, I did not leave the beach! Can you borrow my eyes to see it? Then you should know that I was not lying!"
"You are not by the sea now." The sound of home came, and at the same time, the huge shadows stretched out from the waters. These shadows almost immediately wrapped around Lothar and sank him into complete darkness. In this darkness, an eye with a strange color slowly opened.
Lothar wanted to swallow, but his mouth was filled with sea water and he could not swallow at all. He tried his best to control himself to face the eye, proving in this way that he did not violate the agreement with the Lord of Destiny, "I am not at the sea now, but I am at the bottom of the sea! The big hole under the Soul Bay! Where the corpse of the Thunder Giant is! No matter how I think about it, I haven't left your waters, right?"
"Empty? Bones?" The eye rotated as Lothar's words, and the shadow wrapped around the count disappeared. "Indeed, you are under the deep water. But you are not close to the ocean. The sand above your head is very thick."
The other party's words made Lothar breathless. The Lord of the Door was more reasonable than he thought. And from His words, the count also knew why the other party thought he had violated the agreement. Simply put, it was at this time that his depth below the seabed exceeded the length range that the destination allowed him to penetrate deep into the land. But this does not mean that the destination would allow Lothar to act.
"I understand. You have not breached the contract, temporarily. Go back to the beach and continue the agreement." The Lord of Deep Water ordered.
Losa smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "I hope I can, too. But I can't go back to the way in, and I'm trapped here now. If you desperately want me to go back near the ocean, how about you help me find a way out?"
"The void you are in is inside the living creature's body. There is no way to help you." Zhunsu said calmly what shocked the Count.
"In the living body? But, the Thunder Giant is dead! I can see his bones now, his bones are everywhere, he has already..."
"No, the individual you are talking about has not really died. All you see is a form of his life, and he is turning from this form to the state you are familiar with."
"You mean, this guy is resurrecting?" Lothar suddenly thought of what they mentioned together when they were talking about the death of the Thunder Giant, that is the legend of the giant's resurrection.
