Chapter 70: The Remnant
I gently pushed away the mass of corpses pressed against my body, crawling upwards between the severed limbs, and soon after, I was showing my head at the top of the pile of corpses. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIt reminds me of when I first crawled out of the sea of bones.
There was not the slightest light around, and it seemed that the group of people had closed the door.
I was lifted up by the group and carried into the ground, and when I saw their wide entrance, I pulled out this terrain in the soul sea, this place did not have the slightest appearance of a passage before, so I knew that this place should have a high-level magic array, which can completely cover this passage when activated.
After being carried inside, I was carried into a huge house and thrown on top of a pile of corpses. The number of corpses continued to increase, and I was slowly covered up in this pile of corpses. After a period of time when there was no longer an increase in corpses, there was the scene where I crawled out of the corpse.
I pushed the door slightly, but found that there was no reaction, and it seemed that the door was locked from the outside. My soul perception opened, and I felt two humans standing in the doorway outside, but they didn't look like warriors in their sagging appearance.
So I sat down next to the corpse and waited, and after waiting for a while, I heard footsteps, followed by a conversation.
"Where did you find so many corpses?"
"It was in the ruins above, when someone routinely went up to bask in the sun, and found many corpses in the back, looking at their dead appearance and posture, they have not been dead for too long, their clothing style has never been seen, but it is somewhat similar to the clothing of the Bright Church."
"Then, could it be the current Bright Sect, after all, we have been underground for so long, and it is normal for their costumes to change."
"Even if we are in the Holy See of Light, we have no choice now, the phantom array is almost without the support of magic power, for so many years, how many of our compatriots have been sacrificed to that evil god because of the need to obtain food, we don't have many compatriots anymore, it's rare to have so many corpses, my lord, please don't hesitate any longer."
Another voice pondered for a moment and said, "Alright then, gather the sacrificial group." ”
After hearing this, the other person did not speak, and left the place directly, apparently to gather the sacrificial group. The initial role of the sacrificial profession is not just to add buffs to the team that fights, but their most important task is to preside over the ritual of sacrifice.
The so-called sacrifice is the offering of something to the gods.
For example, property, food, and human beings. God's love for human beings cannot know what God needs, and human beings will try their best to prepare, because after the sacrifice, God will send down gifts.
But that was a long time ago, and the gods don't seem to like possessions, and they can't even like food, and although they like humans to sacrifice to themselves, humans basically don't do such things now. If there is, it is a very small part.
In this respect, it is normal for these people outside to call their sacrifice objects evil gods, because those sanctimonious and true gods now disdain and accept human sacrifices of their own kind, because even if they receive such sacrifices, it will be useless.
The gods who receive sacrifices to humans are either evil gods who have a special role, such as absorbing their souls, or minor gods who are relatively low.
I hid in the pile of corpses again, quickly calculating something in the sea of souls, and then, I quickly injected my will into the large number of corpses under me, and by the way, there was also a part of the soul power attached to my will.
Soon after, the gate was opened, and a large crowd of humans poured in, carrying out the corpses, and soon after I was carried out, and in the gloomy streets, I saw the pale humans on both sides of the street, whose faces were emaciated, because they had not seen the sun for a long time.
Their costumes were peculiar, and I thought about it, and it seemed like I had seen them in the Lich's collection, and they seemed to be human costumes from a long time ago.
They piled up all the corpses on the highest platform of this underground city, and I went down on top of the piled up corpses, and the bottom floor was crisscrossed with complicated stripes, which was a summoning magic array, or it could be said, a sacrificial magic array.
Several big men with knives stepped forward and slashed fiercely at the corpse, black blood flowed out of the corpse, down the corpse below, and flowed to the bottom of the magic array, completely filling the stripes of the magic array.
At this time I heard some strange voices, some of which looked like magical chantings, but they didn't feel the same as magical chanting. As I perceived the past, I realized that the chant was uttered by a group of humans dressed in strange sacrificial costumes.
As they chanted, the magic array that had been filled with black blood began to gradually glow red, and after a while, the entire pile of corpses was wrapped in red light, and at this time, I felt that this magic array had been connected to another world.
"Dark Remnant, it's been a long time since you've called me, and I don't know what you're up to this time." I heard a loud voice, a huge energy body in the soul perception suddenly appeared, the strength of the ninth level, it seems that the strength of his ontology is very average, otherwise if it is projected in this world, it should be the highest level of the Holy Divine Soul, and the most unfortunate should also be a transcendent saint, the ninth level, it can only be said that the strength of his ontology is not high.
"Honorable God, as you have me, we want to exchange these corpses for a portion of the food." The man standing at the front of the sacrificial procession preached.
"Well, let me take a look, the quality of the corpses sacrificed this time is really unexpectedly high, yes, I can give you more food. Wait, I think there's a little fly, and we'll talk when I get rid of him. "The evil god preached, and it seems that he has discovered me.
Under the action of the red gas, the surrounding corpses began to gradually soften, and finally completely turned into a puddle of liquid, piled up on top of the magic array, and under the constraints of a certain force, it could not flow out at all.
Only my body didn't melt, and it seemed that the evil god controlled the power. I stood up in the liquid and looked up. Directly above me was a large, unknown creature with a hideous face, except that it was translucent, and it was just a projection.
"Look at you like this, it's an undead, your soul is very good, I'll accept it unceremoniously." He said, and then pressed the red energy around him towards me.
