Arthur, who broke free from the wall, did not grasp the rope with both hands, and there was no support under his feet, he should have fallen to the ground at the first time, but the opponent's figure only sank half a foot downward, and the white mist in the wall surged out, and the condensed white mist was like a demon's giant claw, grabbing Arthur's body from both sides and lifting him back into the air, and suddenly pulled towards the groove on the stone wall.

All I heard was a loud bang, and Arthur was dead as he was dragged into the stone trough, either his head shattered on the rock, or he was completely unconscious in the white mist.

"I'll go up and have a look!" I took a few steps back, then rushed to the mountain wall with both feet at the same time, and stepped on the rock several times in turn, and reached out to grab a rope and climb in the direction of the mountain wall.

I climbed back and forth until I got up from the rock, and it only took a few seconds for me to get close to Arthur, but in the blink of an eye, Arthur was sealed into the mountain wall by the reappeared stone skin, leaving only a back like a stone carving, and the essence of the carving process was clearly visible even the hair on the back of Arthur's head.

If I hadn't seen Arthur sealed into the mountain wall out of thin air, I would have thought that the other party was a relief carved into the rock.

I paused at Arthur's side for a moment, then raised my hand and punched the mountain wall, less than half an inch thick of stone skin flying around my palm, and half of my arm went down Arthur's shoulder into the rock.

Without waiting for my palm to make contact with the base of the stone trough, I suddenly retracted my palm, opened my five fingers and clasped Arthur's shoulder, and pulled it outward.

The moment Arthur was lifted out of the stone wall, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in the back of my hand, and when I looked up, the back of my hand was covered with a layer of gray and yellow like a rock.

I was shocked, and the rope in my hand snapped into two, and I fell from the air, on the same level as Arthur, who I had lifted up, and quickly fell to the roof of the church.

My body was flying down, but out of the corner of my eye, I saw a grayish-yellow smoke floating from Arthur's body like wolf smoke.

As soon as I turned my head, Arthur was completely enveloped in flying sandy yellow smoke, and his whole body was like a humanoid clod of earth and smashed straight down to the roof of the church.

"Be careful!" Ye Xun, Ren Tianqing roared in unison, his figure rose from the ground, straight into the air, and at the same time pushed it towards me.

The two of them wanted to break the strength of my straight fall, as long as they could volley me out of a distance of one or two meters, I would be equivalent to falling to the ground about three meters above the ground, although it was inevitable to bruise and bump, but it would definitely be fatal.

The two of them exerted force at the same time, and indeed pulled me out more than half a meter away, but I bumped into Arthur next to me without obliqueness, and the stone skin covering Arthur's body flew violently, and the other party actually grabbed my arm as if in the light of day.

Ye Xun, the force of Ren Tianqing's push did not disappear, and I was stuck in the arm by the other party again, and I immediately rolled into a ball with Arthur and fell on the room. Arthur grabbed me a few times before he stopped with his back to the roof.

Before I could break free of each other's arms, the tiles under the two of us shattered, and Arthur dragged me straight to the ground and fell, my back suddenly tightened, and the whole person was lifted into the air, but Arthur fell into the church that had not been cleaned for I don't know how many years.

When the dust on the ground flew up under Arthur's collision, Lu Xinyao and Li Kitten pulled me up from behind.

Ye Xun walked quickly to my side and grabbed my left hand: "How is your hand?"

I shook my arm slightly, only to find myself tingling from my fingertips to my wrists, and the back of my hand was covered with a hard shell like loess.

"Open-" I poured the true qi into the palm of my hand, and the violent qi burst out from both sides of my palm, and a cloud of smoke like loess flew from my palm an inch away, I seemed to feel something fly out of my hand, as if someone had pulled out a piece of steel needle that had pierced into my flesh, and there were bursts of pain in the cold, and dense blood beads suddenly poured out from my hand, and in a blink of an eye, my left hand seemed to have been stripped of a layer of skin, and it was bloody from my fingertips to my wrists.

"Don't move!" Ren Tianqing saw that I wanted to shake off the blood on my hand, so he immediately grabbed my wrist, took out the wound medicine from my body, and sprinkled it on my hand.

When Ren Tianqing was still bandaging my wounds, Ye Xun had already taken the rope I had just grabbed over: "Look here." ”

The cut in the rope was completely petrified, and striking it with a dagger would make a sound like hitting a stone.

Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "I could see clearly below just now, when you reached out to grab Arthur, there was a wisp of smoke like yellow sand that turned around on the rope, and the rope that was almost a foot long turned into stone. ”

I looked at the rock wall above me again, and there were two ropes left that had not been broken, dangling back and forth in the air under the mountain wind.

Strangely, when the rope hits the mountain wall, it makes a sound like a stone collision.

Those two ropes were also petrified!

I couldn't help but gasp: "Don't stand here, all go to church, hurry up." ”

I turned around and jumped into the church from Arthur's hole in the first turn, and immediately followed Ye Xun to protect both sides of the gap, and then let them land.

One by one, the tulip pirates jumped off the roof, but my heart sank slightly—Arthur's body was like a stone smashed into the ground, embedded two inches into the ground, and the exposed part had become a stone sculpture.

The curse of petrification did not stop because we were far away from the mountain wall, but followed us like a shadow, and entered the church one by one.

If it weren't for the fact that the Tulip Pirates hadn't finished the assembly, I'd probably be the first to escape from the church, and the farther away from Arthur's corpse, the better.

I subconsciously wanted to move my steps, but when I jumped down, Elena grabbed my clothes and said, "Wang Huan, look over there." ”

When I looked in the direction of Elena's finger, I saw a cross hanging upside down on the wall.

"Not good!" I suddenly snorted: "Hurry up, all down, let's leave the Holy See." ”

The cross has an irreplaceable position in European religions, the positive cross represents God's mercy, and the reverse cross, also known as the reverse cross, represents the wrath of Satan. It is an important symbol of European black magic.

In European mythology, the appearance of the reverse cross represents the renunciation of God's salvation and the embrace of Satan, the lord of hell. Every fallen angel will have such a mark on him. Lucifer, once the most beautiful and glorious angel in the heavenly realm, was tempted to fall into hell and become Lucifer, the king of hell. He has this imprint on him.

If the nobleman who made a pact with the devil that Elena spoke of really existed. That church, then, was the place where he held a black magic ritual and made a pact with the devil. It is also the source of terror for the entire Dark Castle. We descended from the sky, and breaking into the church was actually stepping into the ghost gate.

Anne forced herself to calm down, "How many people are there up there?"

"There are three more!" Elena also panicked: "The people above hurry up and ......"

Elena's voice fell, and the roof clinging to the cross seemed to have been hit by an external force, and with a loud bang, the stone tiles flew wildly, and a bloody corpse also fell into the house among the flying tiles.

At first glance, it looked like the man smashed the roof with his head, poked his body into the roof halfway, and dripping blood down his hands in rows to the cross, which was originally a pitch-black cross, was instantly dyed with a layer of blood.

"Let's go!" I pulled Ren Tianqing up and tried to pull back, but the sound of deadbolts locking on the doors and windows on all sides of the church sounded at the same time.

According to the normal design, the deadbolt should be on the inside of the gate to prevent anyone from breaking in, but the deadbolt of this church is placed outside the door to prevent anyone from breaking in, which is the most typical design among the priests of the dark arts.

"Blow up the door, rush out!" I roared, Ye Xun quickly replaced the shotgun with ammunition, and raised the gun to the door.

However, before Ye Xun could pull the trigger, Elena screamed: "Don't blow up the door, blow up the door, we'll be finished! Look over there, the snake, there's a snake coming out!"

I turned around suddenly, but I saw a palm-sized hole open under the cross, and a king cobra with the thickness of a human hand poked out of the hollow, wrapped around the trunk of the cross and meandered up, holding its head in the air and looking at the crowd with cold eyes, opening its mouth to make a slight sound, and the pattern of "666" appeared on the gradually expanding neck.

666 represents auspiciousness in China, but in Europe it is regarded as the devil's number, representing the coming of Satan, the lord of hell.

"Fire!" Ye Xun and I raised our guns at the same time and pulled the trigger together. Magnum's bullet shattered the snake's head first, and the firepower of the shotgun followed, and before the headless snake could fall from the air, it was blown up by Ye Xun's shot, and the reverse cross coiled by the snake was also blown to pieces under the fierce gunfire.

What no one expected was that after Ye Xun's shot, two flames that seemed to be the thickness of fingers burned on the wall behind the cross.

The two lines of fire were like spiritual snakes snaking on the wall and swimming straight to the roof, and in a short time, a picture of a poisonous snake coiling around the reverse cross formed on the wall.

What is different from the picture just now is that behind the poisonous snake standing with its head held high, it slowly opened a pair of flames to form wings, and the fire of "666" appeared one after another in the middle of the snake's head.

Elena lost her eyes and said, "The contract has begun, and no one can stop the devil's contract." ”
