Chapter 852 ["Love at first sight, love eternal life. ”】
But this cave is not like the previous ones, there is nothing.
At a glance, André saw a white pyramid-shaped altar in the middle, the top of the altar was flattened, and there was an altar on top, as if something was placed in the middle, and the black texture stood out against the white background.
At the same time, a sense of coldness that even the void body could feel penetrated through the skin and bones, and Andre found that the effect of the void body scroll was fading rapidly, and when he lowered his head, he found that the appearance of his void body seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, like powdery salt grains, appearing at the ends of his limbs and on the surface of his robes.
Behind him, the sound of the water rumbled, and in a short time, the fishy smell of the sea had begun to invade the cavern, and the creaking sound of broken bones came from all directions, and the space underneath made people feel like they were in a tomb - of course, this was the largest tomb.
"Go up there and get that square hedrome!" Then, there will be an exit here, and Shiryl and I are at the end of the road! The skeletal voice carries a hypnotic frequency, prompting people to subconsciously want to follow the content of the words.
Andrei did not hesitate and quickly rushed to the altar, and the situation on the altar became clearer:
At the top of the altar is a white bone altar, which is neatly assembled by a circle of skulls as white as jade, and the protruding altar is about three feet flat.
The skulls are not covered in flesh and blood, and they cannot be seen, but for some reason, Andrei has a kind of skull with a different expression, some stand and laugh, some are scolding, some are silent, and some are staring serenely...... It was such a strange feeling that André didn't even have time to wonder why there were human skulls here.
In the mouth of each skull, there is a turquoise soul bead, the skull heavenly spirit cover is engraved with clear ancient magic runes, and the square crystal of the skeleton is a black spar, which is extremely smooth, but it is like condensing countless stars, flashing little by little stars from the inside out, floating uncertainly.
However, unexpectedly, although this altar is weird, it does not make people feel evil, but after looking at it for a long time, a solemn and solemn aura came to his face, and Andrei thought of something in his mind for a moment.
André was most surprised by the fact that when he stepped on the pyramid staircase, he was ready to be attacked, but the apparently functioning altar did not send out any defensive enchantments or attacks, allowing him to go directly to the top of the altar, where the black hedron suspended in the middle of the altar was close at hand.
【“…… Fast! Hurry up! The cave is about to collapse!! ”】
The cave had begun to seep water, and there were more and more hoarfrost-like things on his body, and time was pressing, and Andrei didn't wait to stand firmly, so he stretched out his hand-
Just as André was about to touch the hedr, he suddenly retracted it.
"What are you doing! Don't want to change back to your sister?! The imminent failure made the skull can't help but leak a trace of anger.
"This spar has nothing to do with exports!"
The skeleton on the back of his hand spoke at the same time as Andrei.
"I guess this hedron is important to you, but because of who you are, you can't get it yourself, can you?"
Andre spoke very quickly, faster than he usually chanted a spell, and without waiting for the skeleton to respond, he said quickly, "To be precise, it is important to the Land of the Dead - you must not have expected that I have seen such an altar of the dead!" This spar is the eternal sleeping star stone that controls the undead in the land of death! Your contract is in this star stone, right?! ”
The more Andre spoke, the more determined he became, but there was no smug look on his face, and he reached out and did not touch the Eternal Sleeping Star Stone directly, as the skeleton had instructed, but grabbed the turquoise beads in the mouth of the skull that formed the altar.
Every time he grabbed one, he directly threw the turquoise bead into the Eternal Sleeping Star Stone, and the green bead left the skull's mouth, as if it was attracted, like a ball of energy, it was directly sucked into the Eternal Sleeping Star Stone.
The originally sparse starlight of the Eternal Sleeping Star Stone began to dense.
["-No, no! Stop, stop, you damn thing! Do you know what you're doing!! Stop, stop!! ……”】
The skeleton cursed frantically, and even repeated the old trick again, trying to hypnotize André.
Andrei turned a deaf ear and was unmoved.
The altar of the dead can only be stepped into, there are no living people in the place of death, and it is naturally impossible for the bones to get the eternal sleeping star stone, those emerald soul beads and the stars on the eternal sleeping star stone are the soul core of the undead who are sleeping forever in the place of death, if there is no accident, the inheritance contract becomes the skeleton of the "cleaner" in the mouth of the guardian fog dragon, and the soul core is also here.
It's just that there are too many soul beads in the skull, and Andre is not sure which one the soul core of the skeleton is, so he can only take them out one by one.
It was already pouring rain in the cave, but the altar had kept the sea water out, but the poured sea water seemed to rush in at any moment and flood the place.
Andre frantically grabbed the orbs.
The Void Body Scroll had already failed the moment it stepped onto the altar, and the layer of hoarfrost-like thing did not disappear after transforming the entity, it condensed more quickly, and the chill of the bones was like countless ice needles piercing into the bone marrow.
In the back, Andre felt himself getting stiffer and stiffer, he saw his exposed skin become stiff and blue, and he knew what it meant, but he didn't stop the movement in his hand, mechanically grabbed out the soul beads one by one, and threw them into the Eternal Sleep Star Stone.
Until there was still a third of the soul bead left, Andre threw another soul bead into the Eternal Sleeping Star Stone, and the voice of the black skeleton that was madly angry was abrupt, and a trace of black mist was pulled out of the back of Andre's hand and flew into the Eternal Sleeping Star Stone.
“…… This is it! ”
Andre no longer grabbed the orb, his brain had been supported by the idea of rescuing Shiryl, and then his spirit was shocked, and he waved away the powerful call to sink into eternal sleep, reached out and grabbed the Eternal Sleep Star Stone, resisted the suction, and pulled it out of its original position - he was almost at the limit, if he was completely undead on this altar, his fate would be worse than bones.
After pulling out the Eternal Sleeping Star Stone, one of the remaining skeletons on the altar was in the mouth, and the soul beads inside flew out like this, flying through the cave without hindrance, and scattered in all directions, and the barrier around the altar that blocked the sea water was not blocked.
Andrei did not stand in the way.
The function of the Eternal Sleeping Star Stone is to suppress these soul beads, and after pulling out the Eternal Sleeping Star Stone, the soul cores in those soul beads will naturally regain their freedom. But judging from the current situation, not to mention that those soul cores have been suppressed for so long, can the undead who have long been asleep be awakened again, and even if they are awakened, what awaits them is the destruction of the place of death again.
The voice in his spirit that had been tempting him to sleep disappeared as soon as he grabbed the Eternal Sleeping Star Stone, and countless stars floated inside the Eternal Sleeping Star Stone.
Andrei's heart moved, and he immediately captured one of the stars, and all the contents contained in this soul core were spread out in front of Andrei like an open book, without a single omission.
This kind of viewing is not memory indoctrination, so Andre's mental power does not need to bear the backlash, his purpose is very clear, those memories are like the pages of a book turning over, and the memory content of Shiryl's whereabouts immediately emerges.
"Found it!"
The result was not out of Andre's prediction, the skeleton brought him here with the biggest purpose of untying the contract on him in the place of death, but Andre also never believed that the skeleton had no ambition for the Eternal Sleeping Star Stone, so its body was indeed with Shellyl, and planned to exchange Shellil for the Eternal Sleeping Star Stone.
But the soul core of the Eternal Sleeping Star Stone and the bones is now in his hands.
Andre immediately sent a message to the Eternal Sleep Star Stone and ordered the bones to protect Shellyl, and if something happened to Shellyl, then the bones would not even have a chance to sleep forever.
In fact, Andrei's threat was too much.
He only knew about the Altar of the Dead, and he didn't know enough about the role of the Eternal Sleeping Star Stone.
If the skeleton does not obey, the Eternal Sleeping Stone will even immediately erase his self-consciousness and force the undead to obey the orders from the owner of the Eternal Sleeping Stone, so even if the skeleton knows that he will die in the next second, he will definitely obey the order.
But Andrei didn't know this, he just subconsciously put everything he could think of now, immediately put it into practice.
But soon, he realized that he had nothing left to do.
The sea water had already poured into the cavern, and it was only a little bit before it reached the top.
Shiryl and the skeleton were in a relatively safe location above the cave, and it was not flooded yet, and there was an exit to escape, so Andre did not go to the exit that the skeleton said.
The soft, thin barrier around the altar was unexpectedly strong, like an upside-down crystal fish tank, and André hoped to get the news that his twin sister was safe before the barrier collapsed.
Through the fish tank, he saw the turbid sea water mixed with white bones hitting the barrier again and again, and no one knew whether the barrier would break in the next second or the next era.
He sat down on the spot, feeling no regret in his heart.
The robes on his body had been corroded again, like a withered butterfly, detached from his body.
He sat naked in the middle of an altar made of white skulls, soberly watching the sea flood the top of the cavern.
The body has long been unconscious, and the consciousness is still awake.
He simply took out a pen and paper from the space and left at least a sentence for Lin An.
……
As soon as the piece of paper was taken out of the space, it immediately dried up and cracked like a dead leaf.
The residual negative energy made the paper quickly scorch and blacken, as if hundreds of years had passed in an instant.
The handwriting on the fragments was quickly submerged by the carbonized black, and if it weren't for Lin An to write down the few sentences on it in an instant, they would probably have directly missed Andre's last message.
Most of the content on the paper explained Shiryl's whereabouts and their experiences after entering the Land of Death, and only a few sentences mentioned the Altar of the Dead, and the calm narration made Lin An feel very ominous.
The last sentence of the letter is in ancient magic language, which is a famous proverb left by the magic dynasty:
["Love at first sight, love eternal life."] ”】
