Volume 3: Thunderland Chapter 8: Molting
The battle was over, and the three of them opened their eyes.
Jiang Xiaoyu was standing on top of a pile of broken stones at this time, the ground near him was filled with black and white, the white frost and black mist split the ground in half, and at the junction of black and white, a hole appeared in front of the three of them.
Hearing Jiang Xiaoyu's question, Shen Qianqiu smiled.
"Naturally, I survived by luck, and I wasn't a match for the two of them at the time. ”
Xu Chang and Gong Shouyou didn't understand the conversation between the two people at all, and seeing Jiang Xiaoyu's weak figure, Xu Chang hurriedly stepped forward and helped Jiang Xiaoyu.
And Shen Qianqiu came to the entrance of the cave and squatted down to look inside the cave.
The hole in the ground was obscured by the statue, and at that time, I was looking to warn about the statue, but I didn't notice that the way out had appeared.
Looking at the dark entrance to the cave that led to nowhere, Shen Qianqiu did not choose to move forward recklessly, but first asked Jiang Xiaoyu about the statue.
"Jiang Xiaoyu, what's going on with the statue just now, is it also a product of the Magic Era?"
Jiang Xiaoyu, who was relieving his fatigue on the side, shook his head.
"I don't know about this, the statue just now has involved the level of rules, the rules of the Magic Era and its diversity, it is not unusual to be able to make this kind of statue, the memory of the Magic Era in the Amazing Book is not complete, and after the damage, the book spirit fell into a deep sleep in order to repair itself, and the memory since then is completely gone. ”
When Shen Qianqiu heard the word book spirit, he thought of the page of the book in the Yin City, at that time, the page also called himself the book spirit, but he called himself and the book separately.
After omitting things about himself, Shen Qianqiu explained the existence of the book spirit to Jiang Xiaoyu.
Jiang Xiaoyu was not surprised at all about the communication between Shuling and Shen Qianqiu, he must have been recognized by Shuling to be able to rely on the resurrection of the new words, otherwise it would be impossible for the words to have a new owner without knowing it.
"This century's book is more special, the book spirit will never participate in anything in this era, even when I am dying, the book spirit will not help, because this century book spirit is a bystander, so the book spirit will separate himself from the book of the world. ”
"Correspondingly, in this life, I lost the help of the book spirit, in exchange for four words, three of which belong to the three of you, and the remaining one word candidate, I already have a choice in my heart, and I will go to find her after leaving the Thunder Domain. ”
"Although the book with four characters is strong, it is also blocked by these four words, and when the four words are handed over, the book is truly unsealed, and now the book has lost three words, and there is one word in the book, which is the weakest time for the book of the world, but fortunately, Shen Qianqiu solved the trouble of Yin City and let me gain an ability, otherwise it is really difficult to do it in the thunder domain. ”
Jiang Xiaoyu, who was already tired, had a dry mouth at this time, unscrewed the kettle on his waist and took a sip of water, so that his dry lips and mouth were relieved.
"You can't delay here for too long, we didn't even bring food this time, the time has dragged on for a long time, and we have to waste the ability of the amazing book to replenish food and drink, Xuchang, I specially asked you to bring some more water and give it to Shen Qianqiu." ”
As a result, Xu Chang handed over the kettle, and Shen Qianqiu realized that he was no longer a soul body.
While waiting for Jiang Xiaoyu to recover his state, the other three also adjusted slightly, thinking that they had just entered the tomb and encountered such a strange statue, and they didn't know what dangerous things would be behind.
Jiang Xiaoyu just rested a little, and his spirit improved a little before he was ready to move on, now his ability was no longer usable, even if his state returned to the same as before, he would not increase any combat ability.
Yugong Shouyou is the first to enter the cave, and there is the protection of the wind field, so even if you encounter any enemy, you have the power to fight.
The three of them waited outside for a while, and found that there was no sound of fighting, and they also entered the cave one after another, and after a short distance, the three of them had already seen the palace shouyou in front of them, and at this time the palace shouyou had left the cave and stood outside, not knowing what they were doing without saying a word.
When they left the cave and came to Gong Shouyou's side, seeing the tragedy in front of them, Xu Chang and Shen Qianqiu also frowned and were silent.
There is a huge and strange formation on the ground, and it is not the pattern that composes this array, but the human corpses, countless corpses are spliced into the shape of a large array in an extremely strange posture, and in the center of the large array, there is a high platform composed of white skeletons, and a black jar is placed on the high platform.
This is different from the entrance, the power of the Thunder Spirit Sacrifice seems to be sufficient, the appearance of the corpses when they die, the strange posture of each corpse is clearly visible, the most shocking thing is that these corpses are actually smiling, and the corners of their mouths are almost grinning to the root of their ears, each corpse is like this, making people look at their backs and break out in a cold sweat.
Although the immobile corpse Xu Chang is not afraid, no matter who sees the scene in front of him, he will feel eerie and terrifying.
"Boss, is this really a thunder realm? Is it in the wrong place, into a place like the Necromantic Realm? ”
Jiang Xiaoyu sighed, shook his head, and denied Xu Chang's statement, this kind of scene in front of him is indeed a bit too much for people in this era, but in countless eras, the Thunder Spirit Sacrifice cannot be regarded as very cruel, and there are countless rituals that are more inhumane than the Thunder Spirit Sacrifice.
"Seeing this scene, I can be more sure that this is the Thunder Domain, the Thunder Spirit Sacrifice is divided into three levels, and what you see now is the Molting Bones. ”
"The bones of the sacrifice are extracted from the body in a secret method to ensure that all the sacrifices are placed in the formation when they are alive, and the skeleton in the middle is built with the bones of these people, and the items in the jar should be the hearts of these people, go around here and move on, there are still sacrificial souls waiting for us to crack it in front." ”
Shen Qianqiu was okay for this kind of scene, although it looked a little scary, he could still accept it, and took the lead in looking away, ready to move on.
And Xu Chang and Gong Shouyou's hearts were greatly shocked, and the number of dead people they saw since they entered the Thunder God Temple had far exceeded the total number of people they had killed in the outside world.
In the hearts of the two of them, they knew that they were bad people, but even if they were bad people, they would only kill those who should be killed, and the people in front of them who were used as sacrifices seemed to be ordinary people, and they couldn't be freed even after death, and they were trapped in the formation by the power of the Thunder Spirit Sacrifice.
Jiang Xiaoyu, who walked a few steps, listened to the movement of only one person behind him, and looked back to see that only Shen Qianqiu was following behind him.
Xu Chang and Gong Shouyou stood in place, looking at the miserable scene in front of them, with complicated emotions in their eyes.
Jiang Xiaoyu knew that their hearts were shaken, and Shen Qianqiu, who was completely different from the two, did not have a trace of unusual emotion in his eyes, and Jiang Xiaoyu secretly said in his heart: "Something will happen to this team sooner or later." ”
Looking at the state of the two people, Jiang Xiaoyu knew that if this matter was not resolved, with the character of the two of them, they would not continue to move forward.
"Xuchang, Gong Shouyou, do you two know why there is such a ceremony as the Thunder Spirit Sacrifice?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoyu's question, the two opened their mouths in unison, but neither made any sound.
Because of what? Because of the nobility of this person, because of the resurrection of the owner of the tomb?
Because of this question, the two fell into deep thought, and none of them had any answer to Jiang Xiaoyu.
Jiang Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment and asked this question to Shen Qianqiu beside him.
"Of course, it's because those powerhouses in the Thunder Domain want to hold such a ceremony. ”
This sentence reached the ears of the two, and it instantly ignited the anger in their hearts, Gong Shouyou can still restrain himself a little, and Xu Chang's character can't control so much.
"Because I think? Is it because I want that so many people to die in vain? Even if the resurrection ritual is real, do we need to exchange so many lives for her resurrection?"
Shen Qianqiu didn't think about it, so he answered Xuchang's question.
"What else do you want? If you were to know before you died that you could exchange the lives of 100,000 ants for the slightest possibility of resurrection, what would you choose?"
Xu Chang was stunned, he had to admit that he would also choose the possibility of resurrection, and when he opened his mouth and was about to use the words that these people were not ants, to refute Shen Qianqiu, he was stopped by Gong Shouyou on the side, looking at Gong Shouyou shaking his head at himself, Xu Chang understood what it meant, these sacrifices are no different from ants to the owner of this tomb.
The four people in the lonely province were divided into two groups at this time, Xu Chang and Gong Shouyou stood together, and Jiang Xiaoyu and Shen Qianqiu stood together.
