Chapter 460: Blood Sacrifice
At their age, 99.9 percent of them have never killed anyone.
Except for the big man, Gu Yue and the three of them unfortunately became the 0.1 percent.
Yun Jianzi doesn't need to say it, because of his special identity, he has to face all kinds of assassinations that are either you die or I die since he was a child.
Gu Yue's first murder was in the ghost market mirage of the Abandoned Heaven Organization, when he was faced with two ghosts with very tricky abilities, he designed to shoot one of them.
Zhuo Ling was a little later than him, but the people he killed were even better. When Yun Jian's tampered memory was in danger, the hidden pile of the Imperial Capital Courtyard took the stage for the first time, and he pulled the trigger in front of Zhao Xiaojun and killed two hidden piles of the Imperial Capital Courtyard in a row.
The big man usually looks big and heartless, but he is very self-aware, he only looks relatively safe and reliable on the outside, but in fact he is the weakest one in the team.
It was hard to keep up with the pace of those three demons, and even if he wanted to kill these NPCs who looked like real people, he couldn't hesitate.
What's more, it's not the first time he's encountered such a situation now. As early as the first actual combat training when he first joined the Special Operations Department and became a dead pillar, he was arrested along with Gu Yue.
At that time, they were thrown into the world of illusion by little Lori, and they had also killed blackened ghosts.
Once born and twice matured, if he stops moving forward, even he will look down on himself.
Gu Yue reminded him once and then stopped talking, some things need time to accept and digest. All he can do now is to control the red-eyed and reduce the casualties.
Yun Jian and Zhuo Ling didn't say a word from beginning to end, Zhuo Ling himself was injured and didn't have much energy to care about others.
This is also the reason why Gu Yue arranged him in the back, judging from the experience of the previous few times, the red-eyed people blocked them in the front, and the back was relatively safer.
And there are clouds, and in case of emergencies, the senior brother is enough to deal with it.
Tang Changxi's roar was the first to wake up Shao Zhou and the others beside him. Immediately afterwards, the three of them also gritted their teeth and waved their weapons. After that, the Dead Pillars hesitated to join the battle.
What they didn't know was that the pillar of light in Suzaku Heavenly City also appeared a red line at some point. At the same time, the red lines of the other three cities have become a little thicker.
In the dazzling red light, the color of the four pillars of light was weakened quite a bit again.
After solving this wave of red-eyed people disguised as NPCs, the Suzaku class lost seven dead pillars. Many others were seriously injured, especially the three dead pillars with missing arms and legs.
Without bandages and first-aid medicines, even if they had learned basic medical knowledge, the dead pillars were useless, so they could only tear off their uniforms and bandage the wounded in the simplest way.
Whether it was a minor injury or a serious injury, everyone's faces were very pale, and many people were full of sadness. They were in a straight line from Suzaku Heavenly City, and they probably had to pass through two smaller cities.
The closer they get to the center, the stronger the strength of the red-eyed ones becomes, and this time they will meet the red-eyed ones who will ambush them, leaving the two cities, and it is estimated that the IQ is about to explode.
As for the red-eyed king, they didn't even see a shadow.
Gu Yue bandaged Zhuo Ling's open wound again, and the latter hissed a few breaths: "Of the four main cities, there is only one red-eyed king, where will it appear?"
Gu Yue helped him put on his uniform: "If you look at the distribution of the Huazhou Continent in reality, the formation eye is in the center of the big array, then the key to this sub-formation in the assessment should also be in the middle of the map, but it is ......"
Zhuo Ling looked at the map: "It's just that the center of this map is the helm of the Qingtian Sect. ”
The big man looked at the two of them and lowered his eyebrows in worry.
At this time, a suppressed cry came from the door of the tavern, and after sobbing quietly for a while, the man burst into tears.
Gu Yue and a few people hurriedly went over, and found that the dead pillar who was bandaged by He Kaiyan tilted his head, obviously out of breath.
Her blood-stained hands were still desperately blocking the wounds of the deceased's broken legs, tears pouring down like a flood that had burst the embankment, followed by the snot and even blowing bubbles.
This kind of crying is particularly ugly, but it is also the most resonant, and several dead pillars around her are also red-eyed.
He Kaiyan wiped the snot from his mouth with the sleeve of his uniform at will, and said to Gu Yue extremely aggrievedly: "I don't want to take the assessment, how can the four spirits be like this, is it so cruel to choose a successor, it makes us feel like we have a grudge against them." ”
Many contestants lowered their heads when they heard this, and some unconsciously clenched their fists, obviously holding similar ideas to He Kaiyan.
Gu Yue's guess had only been discussed with Zhuo Ling and the others, and when the four classes were separated, he had called Wang Minghan and the others aside to remind them.
In order not to cause panic among everyone, several people agreed not to tell everyone the truth for the time being. What's more, they only suspect that there is no evidence to prove that the current assessment is no longer under the control of the four spirits.
But right now, there is a companion who dies in front of him, and all the senses are so real. He Kaiyan cried and made trouble like this, and everyone's emotions were out of control, and it was very likely that they would have the idea of not taking the assessment.
In this hoax that could lead to real death, this idea is unacceptable.
Gu Yue looked at Yun Jian, who nodded.
The seriousness of the matter must be told to them, and once they develop the idea of abstention, it may really kill someone.
Thinking of this, Gu Yue half-squatted down and patted He Kaiyan's shoulder: "Senior sister, in the current situation, everyone must persevere." Because of this assessment, there may be an accident. ”
"What do you mean?" He Kaiyan looked at him with teary eyes and sniffed hard. The other contestants also watched it.
"This means that the assessment may have been interfered with by other forces other than the Four Spirits. The other party's purpose is completely different from the four spirits, they really want our lives. ”
As soon as these words came out, the contestants all gasped.
Shao Zhou was a little unconvinced: "Is this true?"
Gu Yue pointed to the corpses lying on the ground, "If it was the previous assessment, death would undoubtedly be eliminated." The corpses of these contestants should also disappear like the NPCs that were killed. ”
But they were still on the ground, as they had been before they died, and several of them were still staring at each other.
Ling Chen and the others silently looked at the eight corpses on the ground, and the two seriously injured limbs showed a touch of horror on their bloodless faces.
One of them gasped violently, and finally seemed to be unable to accept the fact, rolled his eyes, and choked his breath.
"The red line has become thicker!" Zhuo Ling's expression froze.
Gu Yue's hand gently probed under the man's nose, closed his eyes, stood up and slowly spit out two words: "Blood sacrifice." ”
Wu Ling looked dazed: "Blood sacrifice?"
Zhuo Ling coughed a few times, and his voice was hoarse: "The blood sacrifice method of the red-eyed king." ”
Gu Yue nodded: "The pillar of light in Vermilion Bird Heavenly City also appeared a red line, and this red line did not appear before we entered this city, that is because the Vermilion Bird class did not reduce its staff before." ”
A flash of inspiration flashed in Shao Zhou's mind, and he reasoned according to Gu Yue's train of thought: "The progress of the other three classes is faster than us, and they encountered this kind of red-eyed person disguised as an NPC before us. It's just that just like us, they also fell for the trick and were successfully attacked by the red-eyed sneak attack. ”
Tang Changxi suddenly realized: "No wonder at that time, the red line in those three pillars of light would suddenly become thicker. The other three classes do not have infinitives, and in this case, more people die. ”
Lin Shi was a little confused: "What does this have to do with the method of blood sacrifice?"
Yun Jian said: "Use the blood of the contestants to open the four gates." ”
As soon as the contestant's side died, a red line appeared on the pillar of light of the sub-formation.
The method of blood sacrifice, for those bastards, what could be more suitable than the death of the contestants to sacrifice to the evil demons.
"What are the four gates?" He Kaiyan didn't know if he was frightened or for other reasons, but finally stopped his tears.
Gu Yue didn't explain much, just repeated the warning issued by the system at that time: "The red-eyed king will use the blood sacrifice method to open the four gates, and then the golden-eyed king will come out from behind the door." ”
The big man's knees weakened, and he almost didn't catch his breath: "Golden eyes!"
Tang Changxi and the others also looked at each other, if it weren't for the fact that they knew Gu Yue's personality and were still a little impressed by the news of the system, they even felt that this kid was alarmist.
Golden-eyed!
What are you kidding, most of them are dead pillars here, and they are already disabled like this when they encounter red-eyed people. If the Golden Eye really appeared, how would they fight?
Gu Yue took everyone's expressions in his eyes one by one, and he told everyone about the situation, but he didn't let them lose their fighting spirit. "Don't be too pessimistic, this situation is only temporary. Even we sensed that something was wrong, and the four spirits must be trying to figure out a way. So what we have to do now is to protect ourselves, stall for time, and wait for the four spirits to come to the rescue. ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, yes, compared to the red-eyed king, the four spirits belong to the level of the golden-eyed king!
In just a few minutes, the emotions went up and down like a roller coaster, but fortunately, everyone's spirit was also tenacious, and it was over after a while.
Only the dead pillars who were particularly seriously injured had gloomy expressions and depressed moods. Not to mention their injuries, they have gone to war, and it is very difficult to keep up with the progress of the class.
In this environment where death can be killed at any time, everyone is too busy to take care of themselves, and they are ready to be abandoned.
It's just that this kind of consciousness hasn't had time to ferment, and Ling Chen and the others are very consciously by their side. The big man even squatted next to the dead pillar with a broken arm, and he took care of the order to carry the person and run.
Gu Yue and Zhuo Ling got together and seemed to be discussing their next move.
The pillar of light on the north side of the map suddenly dimmed, and then the red line in the middle suddenly expanded to the thickness of the original pillar of light.
It was as if someone had suddenly cut a hole in the sky, and blood was pouring down.
It didn't take long for the same thing to appear in the western pillar of light. And then there's the pillar of light to the east.
The entire sky was darkened by these three pillars of blood-red light. In the pupils of Gu Yue and the others, one of the blood pillars was reflected.
What happened again?
