Chapter 665

"Don't be impulsive." Xing's voice came with the wind, and her fingertips still retained the body temperature of the injured. "Those people smell like rot." Xing crumpled the bloody bandage into a ball in her palm, and a strange black mucus seeped out from the gaps in the fabric.

"Xing?" Lin Yu frowned.

But when I saw something seeping out of the fabric..my pupils suddenly contracted.

He had seen this kind of mutation in the ruins of Janusa. The living dead eroded by the black tide would ooze a similar liquid from their skin.

But those people in the distance...moved freely, even deliberately imitating the gait of the Ohma people.

"Split up and surround them. Xing, go and inform Aglaiya!" Lin Yu made a prompt decision and gave orders quickly.

After saying this, he walked around the pillars, trying not to make any noise, his eyes fixed on the suspicious people.

Without any warning, those people suddenly turned in the direction of the treasures of time. The hems of their clothes fluttered in the wind, leaving behind charred traces on the ground.

"Wait!" March Seven's cry came from the east, "These nymphs of Aglaya... are eating the Kuroshio!"

There was a sudden loud noise from the negotiation table in the center of the square.

The sword of the Xuanfeng leader cut through the wooden table with a "crack".

Elder Ohma's beard was instantly covered with ice crystals, and he pointed to the sky in horror, "The statue of Kephal...is crying!"

Everyone looked up at the sky. Black liquid was flowing from the eye sockets of the giant Titan statue. What was supposed to be a holy spring of blessing had now turned into a corrosive poisonous stream.

Feng Jin suddenly covered her mouth and nose and stepped back. The medical box in her arms was shaking violently, and the herbs in the box were growing in reverse strangely - the leaves curled up into spikes, and the flowers oozed black blood-like juice.

Lin Yu finally saw clearly that purple smoke was coming out of the Hatonus blacksmith shop at the edge of the square. The purple smoke filled the air, shrouding everything around it in a haze.

The weapons originally displayed in the blacksmith shop now seemed to be given life. They were assembled together autonomously and gradually formed the prototype of some kind of mechanical monster.

The parts meshed with each other, making a creepy "click" sound and sparks flying from the metal friction.

"Ms. Aglaya!" Feng Jin screamed in shock, but her voice was instantly drowned out by the loud roar.

The entire Kefale Square began to sink violently, and huge cracks appeared on the ground. From the cracks, terrifying black tide monsters poured out.

These monsters have various shapes, twisted like human figures, with festering skin and emitting foul odors.

They emerged from the cracks and pounced on the people in the square.

Upon seeing this, San Yue Qi immediately drew his bow and shot an icy arrow.

However, the ice arrow was corroded by the pervasive black tide in mid-air, turning into a pool of icy water and dissipating in the air.

When the black tide completely submerged the square, Lin Yu's vision gradually blurred.

At the last moment before his consciousness was about to fade away, he raised his head with all his strength and saw a man standing on top of the statue of Kephar.

The figure of that person looked particularly mysterious against the backdrop of the moonlight and the black tide. He slowly spoke, and his voice seemed to come from the distant sky, echoing in Lin Yu's ears, "The heart of creation... is calling us!"

...

The atmosphere in Kefale Square was as eerie as the dead silence before a storm.

A breeze blew by, blowing up the fallen leaves and dust on the ground, making a rustling sound, which further highlighted the strangeness of this space.

Lin Yu woke up from the thrilling dream of the black tide, feeling cold sweat soaking his back and his heart still beating violently in his chest.

But everything around him made him stunned for a moment.

Feng Jin, Aglaya, Sanyueqi and Xing were only in a trance for a moment before returning to normal. They were now looking around with puzzled expressions.

In the square, except for them, everyone else fell straight down like puppets with their souls taken away, lying in all directions on the stone slabs.

As a doctor, Feng Jin instinctively rushed forward, squatted beside an old man, and skillfully placed his fingers on the old man's carotid artery to feel the beating of his pulse.

She murmured in a low voice, "The pulse is weak and disordered, without any regularity, as if it was impacted by some powerful force."

San Yueqi came close to Feng Jin and looked around nervously, "What's going on? Why did everyone suddenly faint?" Feng Jin did not answer, but just shook his head and continued to examine the injured attentively.

Lin Yu stood where he was, trying to wake himself up from the aftermath of the dream.

He glanced around and found that the corners of the mouths of those who had fainted had a trace of faint black mucus hanging from them, flashing strangely in the moonlight. This scene was somewhat similar to the scene of black tide erosion in his dream.

"Lin Yu, what's wrong with you?" Xing's voice came from behind, and she keenly noticed that something was wrong with Lin Yu.

"I...I just had a terrible dream. I dreamed that the square was submerged by a black tide and everyone was corroded. It was very similar to the current situation."

Xing frowned, "Dark Tide? This can't be a coincidence."

At this time, Feng Jin was checking a Xuanfeng warrior when he found that the cloth bag around his waist was shaking slightly, making a slight "rustling" sound.

Feng Jin's curiosity was instantly aroused. She hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and opened the cloth bag.

In the cloth bag, a crystal emitting a faint purple light lay there quietly.

The crystals are irregular in shape and have an uneven surface, yet they have a strange beauty, as if they were carefully carved works of art.

The faint purple light, like the twinkling stars in the night sky, swayed in the darkness, illuminating Feng Jin's slightly astonished face.

"Ms. Aglaya... could this be..." Feng Jin held the cloth bag, looked at Aglaya, and his voice trembled unconsciously.

"Well, the Black Tide Crystal, the stuff inside the bodies of those Black Tide monsters." Aglaya walked forward, looked at the crystal solemnly, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

When Lin Yu heard the words "Black Tide Crystal", his heart tightened and the horrific scene in his dream appeared in his mind again.

He walked forward, staring at the crystal, "Why is this thing on a Xuanfeng warrior?"

Xing closed her eyes slightly, concentrated her mind, and tried to sense any abnormalities around her.

After a moment, she opened her eyes with a serious look, "There is a kind of obscure corrupt energy spreading in the square, perhaps it is related to this black tide crystal."

Aglaya thought for a moment and said, "The Black Tide Crystal can corrode the mind of living things and cause mutations. Now that it appears here, I'm afraid someone is secretly controlling it with ill intentions."

San Yue Qi clenched his fists, "Then what should we do? We can't just watch everyone do this!"

"We must find the source of the black tide crystals and cut off the root of this crisis. Maybe those sneaky people know something. I saw several figures heading towards the direction of the Treasures of Time before." Lin Yu explained.

Xing nodded and said, "I will go with you. Feng Jin, San Yue Qi, you stay here to take care of these unconscious people and keep an eye on the surroundings. Aglaya, I hope you can give us some guidance."

"A treasure left over from time..." Aglaya was full of doubts when he heard this.

That seems to be an antique shop, right? What are those people doing there?

"I understand. I will be here to protect you all. Remember, the power of the Black Tide Crystal should not be underestimated. Be careful."
