Chapter 1173: Point of Light
As the spell sounded, Priest's left hand lit up with a dazzling light, but even so, he and Wen Wen couldn't see everything in front of them, and everywhere they could see was black ripples stirred by Priest's body, which felt like being in a terrifying underground pool, and no one knew what was hidden in this strange darkness.
Priest has already gone down, and he is unwilling to do it in his heart, and he can't be too pretentious, and after jumping down with the disgust in his heart, he was surprised to find that these oily black liquids don't have much touch at all, and they don't have the bad taste as they imagined, and it feels as if these are not fluids, but foggy existences.
"What are these?" Wen Wen reached out and fished it out, and found that these things had an incomprehensible nature, "and they have gathered here to form a pool...... We're the end. ”
"As it stands, it should be." Priest said, but his gaze was in the other direction, "Wengrass...... Is it my delusion, look over there, is there light? ”
"Light?"
In the darkness around them, the bright aura above their heads had inadvertently caused Wen Wen to ignore a lot of things, he turned in the direction of the Almighty Knight, and found that there was a faint light in the distance, although it was as faint as a candle in the wind, but in this cold and dark environment, it was still as conspicuous as a beacon guiding the way.
"There is no direction, only to go towards that." After receiving a gentle confirmation, Priest nodded suddenly, "What do you think?" ”
"The only option." Gentle nodded, "Let's go, let's get closer and see what it is." ”
After deciding on the direction, the sound of rattling water became the only accompaniment on the way of the two, in the environment below the freezing point, although it was cold and biting, but the black water did not have the slightest intention of freezing, and the gray dead mist in the air was not as thick and dense as before, at least the faint point of light was clearly visible.
But in this kind of place, the strange silence is even more unsettling, and even Wen Wen himself begins to wonder if Motridi will really be locked up in such a purgatory-like ghost place.
The faint light seemed to be a living thing, and it had been keeping a distance not far from the two of them, and after walking a long distance, the light point in the line of sight seemed to have no spatial changes, and it was still on the edge of such a remote place.
"What the hell is this light...... It felt as if it was avoiding us all the time. ”
"No...... It's not so much avoiding us as it is guiding us. Priest shook his head and spoke quietly, "But this is only my personal speculation, there is only one light source in such an environment, which may be guiding us, but it may also be a deadly trap...... So we still have to cheer up the spirit of twelve. ”
"You're right." Gently nodded, "But what I'm very curious about now is, why is such a cold and dark place called the Abyss of Sacrifice?" To whom? ”
"You don't know enough about the history of the Order of Almighty, and it's unavoidable, although I haven't lived through that time, but I've heard the old-timers in the Order say it...... At the time when the Almighty Order had not yet split from the Almighty Knights, everyone was collectively called the Cult of Almighty God, and at that time this land was not as peaceful and peaceful as it is now, and I don't know if the teachings of Almighty God were really spread by his own miracles, as he himself said, I only know that at that time this land was called the 'Cursed Ominous Land'. ”
"Cursed Hoodoo?" Wen Wen was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this Qingxue Mountain here?" ”
"Clear Snow Mountain...... It was a long, long time ago, when the Cult of Almighty God first appeared, the mountain was shrouded in ice, snow and calamity for many years, so that there was no living life in a large area around it, and every night, a terrible cry would echo in the nearby plains. Priest paused for a moment and continued, "And the reason why the creed of the Almighty God was as deeply rooted in the hearts of the people as it is now is because the Cult of Almighty God at that time used the power of faith to conquer this 'cursed ominous land'. ”
"So what does this have to do with this sacrificial abyss?"
"The Cult of Almighty God has overcome many difficulties, and after establishing a prosperous and stable Snow City, there will still be terrible natural disasters that will continue to strike, and even if people work together, these terrible disasters will still take away a lot of things...... History does not tell what the Almighty God was doing at that time, but we only know that after devout faith and sincere prayer failed, people went back to the old ways. Priest's words carried a little sadness, "In addition, there were many strange phenomena at the entrance to this sacrificial abyss at that time, which could not even be explained by the sacrifice, so the people at that time agreed that it was the monster in this sacrificial abyss that caused the calamity, and if you want to appease his anger, you can only sacrifice your life." ”
"It's really stupid." Gentle shook his head.
"Yes, it is a matter of great sacrifice to open up a wilderness with a harsh natural environment, and how can it be an overnight job to fight against nature, what kind of monster...... It was just an imaginary enemy of the people of the time. Priest sighed and whispered, "Fortunately, the people who were thrown into the abyss of sacrifice at that time were some savage races who had blasphemed the teachings of the Almighty God, or some vicious people who had caused calamity to the country, and people did not have much resentment to such things, but year after year, day after day, who knows what has changed in this abyss." ”
Mildly furious by Priest's words, he sighed and said with a wry smile, "My God, don't tell these nonsense ghost stories...... It was already cold, and now I suddenly feel even colder. ”
Priest, who was walking in front, turned around and was about to say something, but his face suddenly changed, and the holy light in his hand burst out.
After seeing the Almighty Knight's reaction, Wen Wen instantly understood what he wanted to express, and he couldn't help but feel a chill all over his body.
Something, silently standing behind him.
