One hundred and twenty-two stone platform blood sacrifice
Mei Fang was at the back, and she put her feet on both of Aliuzhe's shoulders and squeezed him through the hole.
The crowd passed through the hole one after another. There is still a deep sinkhole underneath, and there is no end in sight. Zhang Rong was in the front, his wings folded behind him, and the whole person was falling face down at a very fast speed. The rest of the people are in the same position, pulled by gravity, doing free landing movements.
When the wind was howling, it fell about 1,000 meters. At this time, everyone was shocked to find that at the farthest end of the sinkhole, there was actually a little red light.
It fell more than 1,000 meters, and that little bit of light was already the size of a ping-pong ball. Barely recognizable, it couldn't be a light, because it was all over the bottom of the sinkhole.
It fell again for nearly a kilometer, and only then did everyone see it clearly. It wasn't some light, it was a blazing lava. Because the smell of hot sulfur can already be felt in the surrounding air. In the middle of the lava, there was a black area, but it was not yet recognizable what it was.
As the descent continued, the crowd began to see what the black area was. I saw that it was a round boulder standing in the middle of the lava, with a smooth surface like a mirror, with a diameter of about 50 meters.
However, it was the boulder platform that shocked everyone. In the middle of the boulder there are six white stone pillars, distributed in six different directions. It is arranged in a very neat shape like an equilateral hexagon, and the distance between each stone pillar is about seven or eight meters.
At this time, there were three figures, all kneeling on the inside of a stone pillar on the far left. Looking at their appearance, one of them is the big fat man, and the other is the white bat princess. Needless to say, the tall man must be a centipede that has not yet appeared.
Zhang Rong took the lead in the attack. The long sword in his hand swung again and again, and several sword rays slashed straight towards the three monsters. The rest of the men were all ready to fight, and Renas shot a long arrow at each of the three monsters.
As we got closer, things on the platform became clearly recognizable. I saw that the six stone pillars were exactly the same style, all of them were more than one meter in diameter, four or five meters high, and the surface was carved with some complex patterns. Moreover, on each stone pillar there were four corpses hanging upside down with iron chains.
It was a shocking scene, twenty-four corpses were all naked**, bound by iron chains and hanging upside down from the top of the stone pillar. Their heads were gone, and bright red blood was pouring from the wound on their necks.
If you look closely, you will find it. On the stone slab in the middle of the six stone pillars, there is a groove with a six-pointed star pattern. The position of the six stone pillars is exactly the six corners of the hexagram! The blood that flowed down from the stone pillar followed the pattern of the six-pointed star, and continued to collect towards a red circle in the middle.
It was a ritual of blood sacrifice, and now it is certain that the ritual has been completed. Because everyone could see clearly, the red area in the middle of the six-pointed star pattern was a teleportation channel full of blood! The blood inside was bubbling as if it were boiling.
The three monsters were indifferent to the sword that fell from the sky and slashed at their heads. There was no intention of dodging, not even looking up.
At this time, the first sword light had reached the top of the big fat man's head, and it was only less than ten meters away, and it was possible to split it in half in an instant.
Unexpectedly, in the next moment, a burst of white light suddenly appeared out of thin air. In an instant, he flicked the sword away, causing it to change direction abruptly, and slash at the cave wall on one side.
Then, one after another swords swarmed in, but they were continuously bounced away by the white light. With a crisp sound and flickering lights, everyone understood. That's a transparent shield! The sword and the long arrow hit it, and it was immediately bounced away by the protective shield, and the monster inside was not damaged at all.
"Damn!" Zhang Rong scolded, and the long sword in his hand no longer emitted a sword light. With a fierce flap of his wings behind his back, he accelerated the speed of his fall, and landed first in the corner of the stone platform.
However, instead of attacking him as expected, the three monsters did not move as expected. They didn't even look at him, as if they had all become wooden people.
At this time, the rest of the people also fell around Zhang Rong one after another, but the three monsters still didn't make any moves. This was beyond everyone's expectations, so the five of them did not act rashly, and all of them carefully observed.
"What's that?" Aliuzhe finally couldn't help it and asked out loud.
Mei Fang had already held the long sword in her hand, her eyes were staring at the pool of blood without taking a step away, but she also answered Aliuzhe's question: "They seem to have opened a passage to the underworld, and they may be summoning the souls of some monsters!" Be careful, always ready to fight! ”
"Sister Fang, hurry!" Zhang Rong let out a loud shout, then waved the long sword in his hand and rushed in the direction of the three monsters. But he couldn't rush to the monster's side, and was bounced open by the transparent shield in front of the stone pillar, unable to break through the shield and get close to them.
Seeing this, Mei Fang didn't stay any longer, and immediately rushed over. She quickly approached the edge of the stone pillar, in front of the transparent shield.
Zhang Rong stood firm and stood side by side with Mei Fang, one left and one right. The two of them held their long swords together, and pointed the tips of their swords forward at the shield.
Balls of red and blue light flew out from the tip of the sword, the size of a football, and hit the shield straight onto it. This time, the ball of light did not bounce off, but it was not able to penetrate it, but hovered. It seems to be a battle to see who can beat whom.
Zhang Rong let out a loud shout, and the long sword in his hand glowed with another layer of blue light. Mei Fang knew what he wanted, and her long sword glowed red. The two of them injected spiritual power again, and another ball of light flew out from the tip of the sword. It was also red and blue, and it kept spewing out arcs of electricity, hitting the previous ball of light.
I saw that these two identical balls of light actually fused with each other to become one! The two become one, but they don't grow in size. But the red and blue rays become more dazzling, and the arcs on its surface are denser. It can be clearly seen that the power contained in the ball of light has been qualitatively improved!
This time, the transparent shield was finally powerless. Its surface was centered on a ball of light, and dozens of sinuous cracks appeared. It's like a glass that, after being subjected to too much pressure, begins to burst into cracks.
It didn't take long for the ball of light to penetrate the shield. With a crackling and dense explosion, followed by a loud bang, the entire protective shield covering all six stone pillars suddenly disintegrated and dissipated without a trace.
However, the three monsters inside the shield ignored this, and all of them maintained their original postures, not even moving. I saw that they were all facing the direction of the pool of blood, kneeling on one knee with their hands crossed against their chests, their eyes just staring at the pool of blood, completely oblivious to what was happening around them.
As soon as he saw that the protective shield was broken, Zhang Rong did not hesitate. The long sword in his hand immediately swung out, and a half-moon-shaped blue sword light immediately flew towards the three monsters.
He didn't intend to be able to destroy three monsters in one blow, so after sending out the sword light, he flew up and prepared to attack again while the monsters were dodging.
However, seeing that the three monsters had no intention of dodging, they let Jian Mang cut off their three heads one after another. Although the blood had spurted out of the wound, his body was still standing on his knees.
Zhang Rong immediately woke up when he saw such a scene. These three are just the shells of monsters! Their true bodies are long gone. He landed from the sky and turned his head to look at the pool of blood that was bubbling up.
"What's the matter, they all seem to have gone into the pool of blood? Could it be that he teleported to the underworld? They can't survive over there, so why bother? Mei Fang walked to Zhang Rong's side. Her eyebrows were tightly knit, and her mood was particularly solemn.
Gao Jin and the other two also walked to Zhang Rong's side. Although there was still a distance of five or six meters from the blood pool, there was a thick bloody smell on the face, which was simply disgusting.
As for what to do in the current situation, Gao Jin and the three newcomers didn't know. Therefore, I can only listen to the instructions of Zhang Rong, the captain.
Zhang Rong turned his head to look at the stone pillars on the side, and his eyes fell on the headless corpses. Shaking his head, he sighed lightly and said, "Regardless of whether those monsters entered the underworld through the blood pool, we can't pass through it anyway." Now we have to destroy these pillars first. ”
With that, he took the lead in attacking the nearest stone pillar. A sword slashed horizontally, and with a flash of blue light, the stone pillar was cut into two pieces, and with a boom, the upper half of the column slammed into the ground.
Zhang Rong didn't stop, and the long sword swung again, and this sword slashed at the root of the stone pillar. He stepped forward and kicked the pillar hard. The lower half of the pillar, along with the corpses on it, tumbled straight towards the edge of the platform, and soon fell into the hot lava beneath the platform.
The rest of the people were not idle, and they all started to move at once, and soon all the remaining five stone pillars were put to the ground. Aleuzer even used brute force to break a stone pillar into pieces. As for the headless corpse above, he threw it out of the stone platform and let it fall into the lava.
Just as the five people destroyed all the stone pillars, the pool of blood suddenly changed. What used to be bubbles as if boiling water was now creating a counterclockwise whirlpool. Moreover, it became more and more intense, and the blood water kept tumbling.
