This cellar was a secret stronghold of Nicorid, and was usually used for lynchings and the like. Due to various considerations, there are three exits to the cellar in the wilderness and in an abandoned dwelling in the village, plus a hole in the ground that leads directly to the underground altar.

Now it's a problem.

Sister Bed sent two elite spiders to explore down the hole in the ground, and went straight to the underground altar; The four of them went everywhere to find the secret door mechanism; The two returned to the field by the same steps and went to a nearby village to reconnoiter the situation; A throwback to the spacecraft in an attempt to protect the source phoenix; The last one she stayed with just in case.

The underground cave leading to the underground altar was there, and the two elite spiders crawled fast, and in the blink of an eye, they descended to the edge of the cave at the top of the cave.

Their visual synchronization was transmitted to Sister Bed, and then to Yuan Huang's eyes.

Hundreds of gold-tied puppets lay horizontally and vertically, motionless, as if dead, all over the throne and high platform, making it difficult to get off your feet. It looked like they had been around the king's body since Yuan Huang and the others left, until they were slaughtered by the sparrows.

"There are so many?" Yuan Huang couldn't help but sigh when he saw the puppets all over the ground, it was too wise to decide to retreat instead of fighting hard at that time, and the gun energy was definitely not enough.

I should still seriously consider forming an army with Volander's guns, the number of which is really violent to ignore.

Well? Found the sparrow.

The Elite Spider explored the underground shrine everywhere, and in addition to the golden puppets that were no longer moving all over the ground, they also found the corpses of several members of the Temple Snake near the original huge trap door - it seems that those people rushed into the ground to save their leader, but they were met by the puppets who went out to meet them, and most of the corpses were torn to pieces by the huge force.

and two men in black directly below the lifting platform they had built.

They were possessed by the sparrow, manipulated to climb from the cellar to the underground altar, all the way to this point, and now they are dead. The sparrow on his back was also dying, only the size of his palm, and his whole body was constantly trembling.

Before, the sparrow was attached to the man in black, absorbing the mental power of the gold puppet all the way, and there was a piece of scrap metal everywhere it passed. The energy they can absorb is divided into two types –

The first is "life force", as the name suggests. Animals and plants have vitality, but the sparrow can't absorb plants and trees, and prefers humans. In addition to this, the target of the sparrow must be humans. The golden puppet is not a living person and has no vitality, so the spirit sparrow trapped here is gradually approaching starvation after eating all the food;

The second is the "mood force", which is a general term for the mind, will, spirit, etc., which is an important energy for mages to drive magic, as long as humans have it. The gold puppets of the underground altar have unique workmanship, they are all transformed by living royal guards, and they have a certain degree of living thoughts and souls, so they are all sucked to death by the spirit sparrows now.

After killing all the puppets, the sparrow ran out of food, unable to manipulate the man in black to climb onto the ground, nor able to fly too far away from its host, and was about to starve to death.

I don't know if it was luck or misfortune, the members of the Temple Snake were defeated by the gold puppet, and their personnel were greatly damaged, but they did not enter the underground altar because of this, and escaped the fate of being completely wiped out by the spirit sparrow.

Yuan Huang was silent for a moment and said, "Send those broken birds one last ride." ”

Given the order, the Elite Spiders pounced and used their plasma welding torches to tear apart the two hungry sparrows.

The underground shrine has been cleared.

Yuan Huang suddenly thought of one thing, since the knights and war horses of the gold puppet have Mujin in their bodies, will other creeps also have them? He immediately asked, "What about Hongyang Minbo?" ”

"She has been suffering from a high fever since she came back, she is too tired, and she is recuperating in the medical cabin." Sister Bed replied, "I don't recommend letting her ......"

"Okay, I'm in my own way."

Yuan Huang got up and walked to the medical area. This was the first time he had interrupted Sister Bed's words, and it was also the first time he ignored Sister Bed's advice...... Yuanhuang's mentality towards the rain culvert bed is quietly changing.

When he came to the medical area, Yuan Huang looked at Hongyang Minbao, who was lying in the crystal coffin with a red face due to high fever, and hesitated and said, "Why did you suddenly fall ill?" He always forgot that the woman in front of him was a dying patient.

"Well, sir, just a little tired." Hongyang Minbo turned his head sideways and replied with a smile, looking a little confused.

Wouldn't it be too cruel?

But if you don't hurry, I'm afraid that the temple snake will preemptively recover the loot.

Cruelty is cruelty.

Yuan Huang said word by word: "If you can still move, return to the underground altar immediately, recover all the pastoral gold, and leave no one." ”

"Okay."

Hongyang Minbo raised his hand and touched the button above his head, lifted the lid of the medical cabin, sat up, quickly pulled up his long hair briefly, and reached for a pair of giant swords next to him.

Yuan Huang was stunned: "I haven't finished speaking, all the golden puppets have fallen, and the spirit sparrow has also been killed, there should be no threat inside, but the members of the temple snake may enter from the main gate at any time." If you're feeling exhausted, I'll send a few people to assist you, as well as the Precision Spider. ”

"It doesn't matter."

During the conversation, Hongyang Minbo's face had returned to normal, and he moved his body, looking no different from a healthy person.

…… Incredible.

Yuan Huang couldn't help but ask Sister Bed in a low voice: "Are you sure this woman is not pretending to be sick?" ”

"Lung cancer is in an advanced stage and organ failure, and the diagnosis is undoubted. Hongyang Minbo relies on the adrenaline secreted in the brain and enters a state of stress by willpower. She is really powerful, ordinary humans should not have such a strong spirit, and she has long been tormented by illness. However, it is dangerous for her to do so, and forcibly driving her body will accumulate fatigue and aggravate her condition. ”

Yuan Huang asked coldly: "Will you die?" ”

"If only I went to the underground shrine to recycle ......"

"That's enough, you can't die." Yuan Huang insisted on his opinion, "You can arrange who to send whom, how many people, and how many spiders will accompany her." That's it.

Looking at the emaciated red-haired woman in front of him smiling, how could Yuan Huang not feel anything in his heart? To become an archmage requires a spaceship, and a spaceship needs shepherd, and only Hongyang Minbo can dig out herds. He didn't have much of a choice.

Sister Bed calculated the gains and losses, and suggested that the spacecraft should sneak underground to the nearest position directly above the underground altar, reduce the transportation distance of hundreds of herdsmen, and arrange for the five people and all the spiders except for the village to go with Hongyang Minbo.

Yuan Huang was not very satisfied with this. I can't say why I'm not satisfied, he seems to have begun to resist all of my sister's suggestions, and his mentality has changed inexplicably.

…… I'm not annoyed because I can't get tough, am I?

"Yuanhuang, the investigation of the village has been concluded." Sister Bed said in a low voice, "All the humans in the village have been possessed by the spirit sparrows, a total of 4,978 people have not been spared, the difference is only that some of the spirit sparrows have not yet hatched, and some have more than one meter five in length. ”

So fast!

It's like a plague outbreak!

"How many people died?"

The sparrows seem to be deliberately "saving their diet", and no victims have been found so far. But......" Sister Bed paused and continued, "there were several wagons on the eastern outskirts of the village, and a dozen guards in armor possessed by sparrows. The sparrows appear to be trying to manipulate the host into spreading to other towns. ”
