Chapter 752: Sacrifice

Chen Xiaolian slowly put his hands behind his back and led Li Sai and the others back to the hill.

Although Li Sai and the others were anxious to start the task of starting the third stage as soon as possible, seeing that Chen Xiaolian looked like a good and wandering person, they could only follow him honestly and walk back step by step.

It's not that Chen Xiaolian wants to grind more in this copy, it's that he can only walk now. Originally, the wings on the Missing Moon Five Light Armor were able to give him the ability to fly, but now he lost control of it.

If Li Sai and the others all used their abilities or props to quickly return to the top of the hill, but Chen Xiaolian could only take a big step and run back quickly, he was afraid that he would suddenly attract suspicion.

In order to maintain his compulsion, Chen Xiaolian could only put on an unfathomable appearance and walked slowly.

After walking for more than ten minutes, a few people walked to the bottom of the hill, and along the way, Chen Xiaolian also listened to Li Sai add all the details about this copy.

In the first phase, the two teams captured a total of six members of the Egyptian royal family. Although only two of them were needed for the next mission, the others were taken together in the desert of Aswan as a backup, just in case.

Each idol is preceded by a sarcophagus covered with spikes. Place a captured member of the Egyptian royal family in the sarcophagus and the sarcophagus will automatically close. The spikes in the sarcophagus pierce into the body of the sacrifice, and the blood flows down the groove under the sarcophagus into the idol's body, and the idol begins to shatter, and the outer stone shell falls off, revealing the inner deity.

"We were ...... before Really underestimated the difficulty of this dungeon. Li Sai led Chen Xiaolian through the crowd and walked to the middle of the position on the hill.

There were six metal boxes on the ground, and behind them were the sarcophagi that Rissay had just mentioned, and next to the sarcophagus were scattered some broken stone shells.

"We thought we were just going to have to deal with the boss. Risai added, "We made all the preparations, surrounded the stone statues, and sacrificed the blood of the pharaohs. But unexpectedly, after Anubis appeared, he fled the hill with the first round of attacks, and then immediately summoned countless jackal-headed monsters with the same appearance as it. Those monsters are not very strong, but there are too many of them. Outcome...... Instead, we were stuck on this hill. ”

"Pharaoh bloodline?" Chen Xiaolian looked at the six metal boxes: "Open." ”

"Yes!" Risai hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the lids of the six metal boxes in turn.

The first box was empty, and the remaining five boxes contained a man lying in them. All five of them had dark skin, but they were very different from the blacks. More precisely, it is close to chocolate color, with features that are between European and Asian, with luxurious gold ornaments and deep eyeshadow on the face.

It's just that all five people have their eyes closed, lying motionless in the box.

"Dead?" Chen Xiaolian frowned.

"No, no. Li Sai quickly shook his head and explained, "Each team got a soul gem when they entered the dungeon. After capturing a member of the royal family, the soul gem must be used to ingest the soul of the other party, leaving a pure body before it can become a vessel for the gods to lodge. Their flesh is still intact, just empty shells. ”

Chen Xiaolian's gaze swept over the five metal boxes in front of him.

All five of them were adult males, and because of their simple clothing, most of their bodies were naked, and their muscles could be seen.

"Are they all adult males?" Chen Xiaolian turned his head to look at Li Sai: "This is your chivalry?"

"Nope. Li Sai hurriedly shook his head and smiled: "How can we be so boring? It's just that the system marks the target, and we just go to capture it." ”

"So, are there any members of the Egyptian royal family who are not marked as mission goals by the system?" Chen Xiaolian thought for a while and asked.

"Ahh......h This kind of thing, where has he paid attention to it before.

"Yes, Mr. Missing Moon. After seeing Chen Xiaolian, Dihuo didn't speak much, but at this moment, he suddenly grabbed Li Sai's words and said quickly: "Although I didn't pay attention to it at the time, but if I think about it carefully, it seems that the system only targets healthy adult males."

After the provisional alliance, we exchanged information on the completion of the first phase of the mission. Our Starfall team captured two, and the Thorn Flower Cluster captured two. There were two other teams that captured one each. In addition, five targets were killed in the battle and were not captured. All of these subjects are adult males. During the raid on the palace, we did meet other members of the royal family, but they were not marked as mission targets. Even ......"

Earthfire thought for a moment: "The Pharaoh who reigns now is also not marked as a target. And he ...... It's an old man. ”

Chen Xiaolian nodded and did not continue to speak.

"Mr. Missing Moon, can we start?" Seeing that Chen Xiaolian had been asking some marginal questions, and Dihuo was still answering in such detail, Li Sai was a little anxious.

"Are you in such a hurry to send you to death?" Chen Xiaolian stabbed Li Sai coldly: "Anubis almost killed you just now, now Horus, you have the confidence to fight?"

"They're always arrogant and stupid. Earth Fire leaned closer to Chen Xiaolian's side: "Mr. Missing Moon, I admire your wisdom more than your powerful strength. With your reminder, I've already guessed how we're going to get the job done. ”

"Tell me about it. Chen Xiaolian had a smile on his face.

"The blood of Pharaoh is the purest of all. If sacrificing bloodlines to the idol is only asking for blood, then the pharaoh himself should be set as a target anyway. Since there is none, it means that there must be other conditions for judging in addition to bloodline. Now that I think about it, it's probably age and gender. The earth fire talked eloquently: "God, he is often always picky. I think...... Perhaps only a young and strong body can meet the needs of their coming. ”

Chen Xiaolian didn't speak, just nodded slightly. But looking at the eyes of the earth fire, it had already made him very excited, and he hurriedly continued: "So, I make a bold guess...... Only the physical body that satisfies the requirements is enough for the possessed deity to exert its perfect abilities. And if we can make these flesh bodies that have been marked as qualified targets become unacceptable, we may be able to drastically reduce the combat power of Horus after his arrival!"

"Not bad. Much smarter than him. Chen Xiaolian smiled with satisfaction: "So, do you have the ability to do it?"

"Yes!" Earthfire's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly!

......

Rissey and Earthfire had already led the team on the trek to another hill a few kilometers away.

On this hill, there is also a statue more than five meters high.

Corresponding to Anubis' jackal's head, the statue of Horus is in the shape of a mirchie-headed man, also holding a scepter in his right hand and a circled cross amulet in his left hand.

Horus, the patron goddess of the pharaohs in Egyptian mythology, son of Osiris and Isis, the goddess of life, is a symbol of kingship and a god of vengeance.

Not far in front of the statue, a sarcophagus was erected. Between the statue and the sarcophagus, there is a stone trench.

Now, the five metal chests have been placed in front of the sarcophagus, and the other Awakened and players around them have formed battle formations around them according to their respective bosses.

"Be careful, let it age as much as possible, but don't kill it!" Earthfire patted Alyosha on the shoulder, glared at her eyes, and whispered, "Don't let our Starfall team be embarrassed in front of Mr. Missing Moon." ”

Although this big man doesn't plan to make a move, it is always not a bad thing to raise a little impression score in front of him.

"Don't worry, deacon. Alyosha nodded, with the same serious expression, crouched down in front of the first metal box and pressed his left hand against the chest of the man inside.

"Alyosha is my right-hand man, and his ability is to greatly stimulate the potential of his teammates in all aspects of the battle, and to amplify them. In general, the positioning is a support person, but in close combat, it can also absorb the vitality of the opponent. Dihuo explained beside Chen Xiaolian, completely ignoring Li Sai's resentful gaze behind him: "It only takes a few minutes to make this sacrifice become old." ”

Although in the world of the Awakened, the biggest taboo is to disclose his abilities, but Dihuo doesn't care at all at all at this moment in order to show his honesty in front of Chen Xiaolian.

"Good. Chen Xiaolian put his hands behind his back and looked at the sacrifice in the metal box with an expressionless face.

As soon as Alyosha pressed his hand on the sacrifice's chest, wrinkles grew at a rate visible to the naked eye, his black hair began to turn gray, and his solid muscles quickly dried up like a balloon that had leaked air.

In less than five minutes, the man lying in the box had completely changed from a young man in his twenties to an old man with goosebumps.

"Enough!" Earthfire hurriedly stopped Alyosha's life stealing: "If you suck it again, he'll die!"

Alyosha stood up, saluted Chen Xiaolian, and stepped back.

"It's time to begin, Mr. Missing Moon. Dihuo smirked at Chen Xiaolian: "There is no new dungeon prompt in the personal system, and he is still one of the targets of sacrifice." ”

"Good. Chen Xiaolian nodded.

"Are you sure this will be useful?" Li Sai said with some resentment, "What if it doesn't work?" After all, the aging sacrifice will cause the boss's strength to decrease, that's just your guess!"

"Pay attention to your wording, Risai, this is not my speculation, but Mr. Missing Moon's thoughts!" Dihuo glared at Risai: "What's more, even if it really doesn't work, do you think Mr. Missing Moon will sit idly by? Since he can kill Anubis with one blow, then of course he can also kill Horus with one blow." ”

After saying that, Dihuo immediately smiled at Chen Xiaolian: "Of course, Mr. Missing Moon, I firmly believe that your judgment will never be wrong. ”

"Just let it go. Chen Xiaolian smiled incomprehensibly, turned around and walked back.

"Wait, Mr. Missing Moon, where are you going?" and Lycine were stunned at the same time.

"I've already said it, you guys do it first. If the time comes, I'll do it. Chen Xiaolian turned his head and smiled: "If you can't believe me, then forget it." ”

"How is that possible. Earthfire and Lisey hurriedly squeezed a smile out of their faces.

"That's fine. Let's go. ”

Chen Xiaolian walked steadily, and he always had a relaxed expression on his face, but he was still a little apprehensive in his heart after all.

Li Sai's doubts are also his worries.

Although such a judgment was made based on the content of the copy, Chen Xiaolian did not have any idea whether this method was effective or not.

If Horus was still as strong as Anubis after he came, then he didn't know what to do.

Li Sai and Dihuo looked at Chen Xiaolian's distant figure, although they were also a little weak in their hearts, but at least they still had some confidence.

This kind of powerful existence is not just empty words!

"Alright, let's get started. ”

The two men again gave the order through their respective team channels, and then worked together to lift the sacrifice from the metal box.

Li Sai took out a soul gem from the storage equipment and pressed it into a groove in the center of the sarcophagus, and with the sound of Gege's rubbing, the lid of the sarcophagus immediately opened automatically, revealing the bottom covered with spikes.

The sacrifice placed in the sarcophagus was only a faint breath as thin as a gossamer, and it seemed that it had reached the end of its life, and it was possible to choke at any time.

The two glanced at each other, watched the coffin lid slowly slide back into place, and immediately quickly stepped back and stood in the crowd of team members who had been waiting for them for a long time.

A stream of dark red blood flowed out of the small hole under the sarcophagus and landed in the stone trough, towards the base of the statue.

On the base of the statue, a strange runic pattern is engraved. The blood of the sacrifice flowed onto the base, flowing eerily upward, filling itself with runes.

It didn't take long for the runes to be filled. At that moment, the entire hill began to shake.

Cracks appeared on the surface of the statue, and the shell began to fall to the ground as if molting.

"Who is it that sacrifices me with the blood of Pharaoh, and who is it that disturbs me for eternity...... Ahem!!!"

A low roar rang out, but only halfway through it was interrupted by a violent cough.
