Chapter 35: The Witness
When the turtle found out that he wanted to go to the altar, he originally refused, and in Wu Xijin's hands, he waved his eight fists desperately, but as soon as he put it on the altar, he was immediately honest.
He did not do anything, nor did he make any more trouble, but shrunk his head and limbs into his shell, and remained motionless.
Brother Turtle can't help it, the dead friend doesn't die the poor road...... Wu Xijin silently begged the turtle for forgiveness, and then took the initiative to retreat again, distancing himself from the altar.
With the addition of the offerings, the pre-requisites have basically been completed.
As the sun set, shadows and darkness crept up from the base of the mountain, eventually engulfing the altar entirely.
Bunino folded the black parasol aside, and with a flick of her arm, the shadow color suddenly deepened under the 26 stones that had been carved into the corresponding symbols, and soon became thicker, holding the 26 stones up to a height of 30-50 centimeters, arranged in three rows, far high and low near low.
Immediately after, Bunino danced lightly with his fingertips.
With each stroke of her Void, a symbol shrank faintly and sank a little under the shadows, giving Wu Xijin the feeling of tapping on a keyboard.
Click.
Click.
Click.
After a mysterious combination of symbols, the altar finally reacted.
The centerpiece of this altar is a round mirror with a diameter of one meter.
At this moment, the round mirror no longer reflects natural light, but gradually distorts, hazy, and chaotic......
After about half a minute, the round mirror began to slowly become clear, but the picture in the mirror had completely changed.
It was a high mountain.
Nearby, hundreds of black-robed figures prostrate on the ground, whispering prayers to a stone altar similar in style to the altar here, but several times the size.
In the distance, there was a scuffle.
The dense coverage of the artillery made visibility above the mountainside very low, and the smoke and dust obscured the bloody scene of a large amount of flesh and blood.
At the foot of the mountain, a large number of giant spiders opened their paths, frantically biting at the undead creatures made up of the bones of the forest.
These spiders, which are over 3 meters tall, are made entirely of extremely tough steel, and ordinary attacks and magic cannot hinder their movements in the slightest.
Even if these giant spiders are accidentally crushed by the bone dragon, they can still split into 9 sub-units to continue fighting.
In addition to the sharp claws of spiders, the thick plasma cannon is also a powerful threat to creatures like bone dragons.
The attacking forces are not only spiders, but also a large number of mecha warriors.
Each of these warriors guards the front with a huge shield, and in their right hand they shoot crossbow arrows to kill the vital points of the undead creatures, sometimes pop out fan-like blades to frantically cut through bones and flesh bodies, and sometimes shoot hooks with ropes to help mechwarriors move quickly through the heights of trees and mountains.
Of course, war is not a one-sided massacre.
The means of defending the side should not be underestimated.
The skull mage's massive outpouring of frost magic can cause serious disruption to the mech's operation.
The Necro Knight's top-down charge, even if he blocked it with a shield, most of the warriors would not escape the fate of having their bones broken.
And then there are the undead marksmen whose right arm is noticeably thicker.
They shoot continuously at a rate of 3 arrows per second, and are accurate, armor-piercing, and sometimes able to unleash critical damage, causing the most effective damage.
It's not just the undead.
There are more dangers hidden in the shadows.
Many strange shadow creatures are hidden here, as well as traps and curses everywhere, and the corpses of the dead often get up again for all sorts of unbelievable reasons.
Warriors should also beware of those that explode, as they not only have physical and magical damage, but also carry powerful corpse poison. The corpse poison is not easy to detect in the air, and it can often affect the mecha warriors who pass by here in the next ten minutes.
The defenders' means don't stop there.
The darkness of Rumo began to spread from the large altar, completely enveloping the distance from the top of the mountain to the halfway point of the mountain. Once those mecha warriors are accidentally contaminated by this darkness, they will lose control and become strange monsters. Even giant spiders made of pure steel are not immune to many cases.
This is the fundamental reason why the attackers failed to reach the top of the mountain for a whole day.
This is...... , Echoing Mountain?
Wu Xijin looked at the scene transmitted in the mirror, and felt that nine times out of ten it was the live broadcast of the current battle situation in Huiming Mountain.
The Immortal Bird Sect was indeed powerful, but Wu Xijin felt that if it weren't for that layer of darkness, it would not have been able to stop the Sky City from attacking.
This layer of darkness gives people the feeling that they are very high, and I don't know if they dare to come up directly at the level of the goddess of order.
While Wu Xijin was speculating, Bunino had a new move.
She manipulated the 'keyboard', and the image in the mirror slowly recovered from the divergent state, and finally focused on the large altar of Echoing Mountain, gradually approaching, gradually becoming clearer, giving people the illusion that the two sides were about to be connected.
In the process, Wu Xijin also saw the interior of the large altar.
A pure black object floats and spins in the void space inside the altar.
It looked like a cane and a leg bone. The fine texture of the handrail end constitutes the ornament of an immortal bird, which makes Wu Xijin feel a deep chill just by looking at it.
"Want to know its name?"
There was no obvious change in expression on Bunino's face, and he asked calmly.
"Actually, I'm not very curious, but ...... But I'd like to know. Halfway through Wu Xijin's words, he found that Bunino's expression was wrong, and decisively revised the central idea.
"This is the Scepter of Reincarnation, a key opportunity for His Highness Phinebus' return to the physical world. ”
As Bunino spoke, he stretched out his white arm, passed through the mirror, and directly grasped the handle of the Reincarnation Scepter that was far away in Echo Mountain.
Immediately afterward, Bunino slowly pulled her arm out, and the Reincarnation Scepter was dragged out of the mirror by her.
The darkness that shrouded in the Echoing Mountains began to fade at this moment.
This change made the faces of the Immortal Bird Sect disciples present show varying degrees of surprise.
"You are lucky to be the only witness. Bunino held the Reincarnation Scepter on top of his hands, and the scepter burst into powerful darkness and coldness, but was quickly suppressed by Bunino's power, and finally calmed down.
In this process, Wu Xijin felt that his body was doing rapid and irregular reciprocating movements.
Also called shaking.
"Yes, yes. Wu Xijin replied tremblingly.
"My name is Bunino and I don't know your name yet. After getting the Reincarnation Scepter in hand, Bunino continued.
No, I didn't ask! Don't just say your name like that! I don't want to be silenced!
"Wu ...... Qi, my name is Wu Qi. ”
Wu Xijin reluctantly said his name.
"Mr. Wu, you are a true gentleman, thank you very much for your help. ”
As Bunino spoke, he waved his hand, and the 26 stone 'keyboards' were squeezed, devoured, and crushed by the shadows that enveloped them, along with the destruction of the entire altar, including the round mirror...... The black umbrella standing in the corner of the altar automatically returned to Bunino's side under the shadow, and Bounino's figure slowly faded in the process, until it finally disappeared into the shadows.
Just as everything was about to return to calm, Bounino's last voice came from the shadows:
"Goodbye, may death always be with you. ”
