Chapter 789 - 363: The Bell Tower That Cannot Be Perceived!
Through the dense mist, Lin Yi could no longer make out the inscriptions on the Ancient Bell but could sense from the arrangement of the cuneiform script on its body and the logical depiction of the mysterious secret marks a terrifying, incomprehensible, indescribable presence.
It seemed to be engraved with some kind of ancient matrix, and just seeing the logic behind the arrangement of such text and secret marks evoked an uncontrollable palpitation, a taste of horror and fear that seemed to have penetrated into the soul.
Perhaps due to the existence of the Black Moon Outpost, it was impossible to rashly conclude the material of this ancient bell from appearance alone. The dark, navy hue of its texture felt like ancient meteorite iron, producing a sense of oppression just by looking at it.
The downpour thrashed, raindrops hit upon the ancient bell, making a dull "thud-thud" sound, which then dripped down the body of the bell and was torn into endless mist by the storm—this was how the water mist that Lin Yi encountered on this layer came to be.
The deluge washed over the Bell Tower, falling to the ground, producing a noisy patter of rain. Occasionally, gusts of wind swept the rain into the corridors like overlapping waves, hitting the stairs with crackling sounds.
"Just stay there, that’s the only safe place left." Old Mo’s voice traversed through the noise of the raging storm and reached Lin Yi’s ears as he gripped the hourglass and braved the downpour to reach the top.
Lin Yi wanted to follow Old Mo, but as he reached the stairs and intended to follow, he suddenly noticed that particles seemed to float out of Old Mo’s body as if being extinguished...
Whenever a strong wind carrying dense mist blew past, it was as if particles were being carried away from within Old Mo, a scene strikingly similar to the vanishing of the Rage Angel roasted to death by the old kerosene lamp in "Banquet."
Just then, a breeze brushed gently across his skin as it wound through the steps.
