I hesitated, then stepped forward and said, "How do I sign a contract?" ”

Alan hesitated for a moment and said, "Time is pressing, everything is Jane! ”

As soon as I raised my right hand forward, a series of strange sounds rang out from the rolling black mist in the air.

Is Eren chanting some kind of incantation, or is it some kind of ritual?

A thought flashed through my mind, and the black mist floating in the air swirled up like a tornado that swirled across the air, aiming the cone-shaped tip at my palm.

I only felt as if a knife had been cut between the flesh and skin, and bright red blood was dripping from the edge of my palm.

Before my blood could drip to the ground, it evaporated out of thin air, turning into wisps of smoke in mid-air, drifting around, and the whirlwind on my palm was still scratching my palm every moment. My right hand began to go numb in the severe pain, and a sharp pain that seemed to burn suddenly appeared.

The moment my arm tensed, the whirlwind that had been attached to my hand withdrew a few meters below and turned into a thick cloud of smoke again.

Only then did I look at my palm, and the other party carved an anti-pentagram on my hand.

One second, the anti-pentagram in my palm was still bleeding, and the next second, the wound that had penetrated deep into my palm began to heal rapidly, and it turned into a dark red scar in the blink of an eye.

I pressed my fingers twice on the scar, and I didn't feel anything other than a slight bulge of flesh underneath. Then I raised my hand and said, "This is your contract?"

"That's right!" said Allen, "it's an equal contract." One of my hands is buried underneath the cross, take that hand and we can go. ”

I gave Ye Xun a look, and the latter quickly dug out a severed hand that had turned into a dry bone from the wall. The palm of that hand was obviously about three times that of an ordinary person, especially the position of the joints was unusually thick, just with these joints, it was enough to prove that this magic hand was enough to burst out with strong force.

After Ye Xun took the dagger and knocked it twice in his palm, Alan immediately exclaimed, "Stop, stop." That's my demonic body, don't break it. ”

Ye Xun ignored it and knocked it a few times before standing up and said, "This is a bone." ”

I put away my hand and said, "When we go out, you can get a church right away, and it's better to set a fire." ”

"Listen to you!" Alan sent out a black smoke that suddenly cleared, but his voice kept swimming around us, "How much fire do you need?" ”

"It's enough to be seen. "As I spoke, I walked out of the church and stood in the middle of a cold, dark valley, the crumbling beam of the church canopy crashing to the ground the moment we stepped out of the door. The whole church is like a building block that has been knocked down, collapsing from all sides to the center, and the smoke of the billowing dust kicked up by the broken walls has not yet dissipated, and the raging fire is rising in the center of the church. The flames that burst into the air instantly illuminated a radius of 100 meters, and the pitch-black castle came into view.

Anne whispered, "Why are you setting the fire?" ”

I sneered, "Let the adventurers in the neighborhood hurry over." ”

I turned my head to look at Anne: "From the moment my whereabouts were revealed, it means that we can't face the secrets of Dunhuang alone. The people of the Ghostless Sect must have come, and the difference is where they go. ”

"The Ghost Sect will not let go of the secret of Dunhuang, they are just waiting and seeing now. I'm just letting them in with this fire. ”

I turned my head to the air and said, "Alan, do you know where we can hide for an hour or two? ”

Alan said, "There is such a place. However, it was a shelter built by the church, and it was full of uncomfortable things...... Forget it, I'll take you there!"

Alan led us into a cave, and my eyes narrowed slightly: "This is the Holy See Sanctuary?"

If you just look at the arrangement in the cave, it is indeed from the hand of the church, the cross on the wall, the Bible, the vessel for holding holy water, the papal knight using a great sword, armor, *** everything. However, there were four corpses sitting next to the wall.

When they were alive, the four men were tied to chairs and their heads were immobilized, and they remained upright and sat upright until they died.

Each of the four corpses had a dripping stalactite hanging above their heads, and the turbid landscape fell from the sky one by one, dripping into the four cracked skulls.

This is obviously the legendary dripping punishment.

The so-called waterdrop punishment is the principle of "water drops piercing stones", so that water droplets continue to fall on the top of a person's head until the prisoner's scalp is completely corroded and pecked through the prisoner's skull.

Most people believe that drip punishment is a punishment made up by later generations. Theoretically, although the prisoner's head is fixed, it can still shake slightly, and it is impossible for water droplets to drip in one place, and besides, the execution time is likely to last one to two years, and it is unlikely that anyone will have the patience to carry out such a long execution.

But the four corpses that had died under the dripping torture appeared alive in front of me.

"The four bodies all died at the hands of Arrin, and the punishment was something he came up with. Later, although the church was forced into the cave by the demon god, he did not touch the four corpses, and just let them sit in the cave. ”

I touched the bones with my dagger a few times: "Where did the church people go?"

"All dead!" Alan sneered, "They either died outside or starved to death in the cave." Holy Knight, Servant of God, hehe...... When humanity is exposed, they are not even as good as servants of the devil. ”

Allen was so disdainful of the church that he didn't even want to mention it.

I said lightly: "Since, you said that the Demon God Curse is omnipotent. How could those people of the Holy See escape the curse in this sanctuary?"

Alan said, "At that time, they were carrying a holy weapon. It was so horrible that I didn't even dare look at it. ”

Alan smiled bitterly when he said this: "However, even if they are holding the holy weapon, they have not been able to get out of here. Even the human and the holy artifact fell in the road. ”

I asked, "Where was that artifact lost?"

"Probably ......" Elena said when he couldn't describe the exact location, "If I'm not mistaken, the place where the Hallows was lost is probably in the Jungle of the Cross." ”

Alan took out his parchment and pointed to a place marked with a cross, "This is the Jungle of Crosses." ”

That's the only area on the entire map that is marked with yellow color. Elena explains: "The red on the map represents danger, the black represents extreme danger, and only yellow represents semi-safety. In other words, the yellow zone is still dangerous, but relatively safe. ”

"Hmm!" I nodded slightly, "Rest in place for a while, we'll wait for our friends outside." ”

I've counted the adventurers and the Ghostless Sect following us as they approach the Dark Castle, but I haven't counted how many masters they will come.

Later I learned that there were far more people gathered in the Dark Castle this time than I had imagined.

As soon as we left the church, a large number of masters had gathered on the cliff behind the church, and someone reported back on the top of the mountain: "Hades, there is a fire burning under the mountain, Wang Huan and they are nowhere to be found." ”

Standing in the crowd, the "Hades" said coldly: "Can't you do this little thing?" ”

The scout in charge of spying on the news suddenly looked up at the Hades, and obediently lowered his head, stretched out two fingers and stabbed himself into the eye sockets, and then clenched his teeth and fainted to the ground.

The man refused to let out a scream under the severe pain in his self-mutilating eyes, which shows the extent of the power of the Hades.

Hades didn't seem to see anything: "Probe and report again." ”

"Wait a minute!" the scout was about to leave when he was stopped by a middle-aged man who came out of the crowd.

If I had been there, I would have exclaimed—Lan Moying.

The Hades who led the team turned his head and glanced at Lan Moying: "What do you mean?"

Lan Moying said lightly: "You don't have to rush to find someone, Wang Huan, that guy must be hiding." We'll wait for the fire down there to be extinguished, and it's not too late to find someone. ”

The man looked at Lan Moying and said, "You seem to know him very well?"

"I don't know Wang Huan at all. Lan Moying said: "However, I know that Wang Huan is a person who refuses to suffer. Your whereabouts were exposed too early, Wang Huan would definitely guess that someone was following behind and wanted to reap the benefits, at this time, I would not go 100% desperately. ”

Lan Moying pointed to the blazing fire on the mountain cliff and said, "I bet with you, this fire was put on by Wang Huan." Believe it or not? His purpose in setting this fire was to get us into the valley as quickly as possible. ”

The Hades King looked at Lan Moying: "You think too highly of Wang Huan! The Four Heavenly Kings of the No Ghost Sect have two now." Are you afraid that you won't be able to take him down?"

Lan Moying shook his head slightly and said, "If it's possible, I'd rather look down on him." Although Wang Huan's skills are not as good as you and me, his mind is enough to compete with any of the Heavenly Kings of the Four Gates. I dare not be negligent in any way with him. ”

Lan Moying looked at the other party disapprovingly, and added: "Don't forget Qin Baiyi." Her cultivation is not under you and me, but she also died in the hands of Wang Huan. Huang Cang, I know that you have always had nothing to look for, but sometimes it is better to listen to the advice of the contrary. ”

Huang Cang sneered: "A junior who has just come out of the rivers and lakes can kill Qin Baiyi? If they die in my hands, then Wang Huan should really thank me, because he didn't touch Qin Hong's makeup. ”

Huang Cang's voice paused: "Take a step back, even if Qin Baiyi dies at the hands of a junior, it will be her incompetence." She's even less qualified to be compared to me. ”

Lan Moying couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, but Huang Cang didn't continue to send scouts.
