Chapter 18 Open

"Sacrifice!"

Almost at the same time as Twenty-Four turned into a blood mist, all the mist stopped absorbing life force and returned to the magical storm along the tentacles, while the other four guards regained control of their bodies the moment they detached.

Shadow Four knelt on one knee, dressed hard, his robe already soaked with sweat and clinging to his body. During the entire ritual, he was the most seriously injured, not only by extraction, but also by the secret method of retaliation, which caused his internal organs to suffer a lot of injuries. He originally planned to attack at the moment of getting out of the predicament, and subdue Ying Qi first, but the loss of a large amount of magic power and vitality made his strength greatly damaged, and he couldn't organize considerable combat power at all for a while.

The other three should have been in about the same state, but slightly better than the Shadow Four, and they all took a few steps back, instinctively moving away from the strange source, and then looked at the initiator. Shadow Seven stood calmly, as if he hadn't noticed the undisguised hostility of the others, just staring at the center of the stone table.

"Rest assured, the summoning has been basically completed at this point," although he opened his mouth, Shadow Seven was completely fearless, "The records in the Shadow Guard Inheritance are not as specific as you imagined. I knew that there was a life sacrifice, so I prepared in advance. It's just that I didn't think that there was no clear dividing line between extracting magic and life force, so it took me some time to complete this step. As for the vitality that has passed, it is not impossible to recover, and I will make amends when this happens. ”

After saying all this, he didn't seem to be afraid of the siege of a few people at all. After what happened just now, it is naturally impossible for the other four people to fully believe in Ying Qi, but there are no obvious flaws on the surface, but no one chooses to do it at this time. The four of them looked at each other, often at the touch of a touch, but they had already reached an agreement. Ying San snorted coldly, sat down cross-legged and took a bottle of potion, and recovered in public. The other people were similar, seizing the time to recover, but they only divided part of their energy on Black Mist and Shadow Seven, and they were each fully prepared, and once the situation changed, they could deal with it instantly.

The black mist that had gathered together had turned into a human silhouette more than two meters high. Soon a vertical bright spot appeared on the center of the eyebrows on its head, like an eye. The formation of bright spots seems to represent the completion of a certain stage, and the surging of the black fog gradually subsides, and in the end there is only a fluttering of nothing. The previously raging turbulence of magical power was completely engulfed by it. A huge coercion was released in an instant, and the next second it all disappeared, and everything was calm.

Shadow Seven's eyes shone under his mask, and he stepped forward, slowly walking towards the black mist. But soon he was forced to stop. Shadow Five was in front, two scimitars crossed across his chest, and Shadow Six also instantly moved behind Shadow Seven, a bright red dagger pointed directly at the back of his heart. The two were slightly damaged and naturally recovered the fastest. Shadow Seven had already sensed the moment they moved, but he didn't make any defensive moves, and he didn't have a trace of anger after standing still.

"This is the first step to unlock the hidden power of the secret realm, and we have already paid the price we deserve. Now it's very simple, just put your hand into this black fog and use your magic a little, it will form a short teleportation channel, and we need to go in. ”

Shadow Seven calmly finished explaining, completely ignoring the imminent threat of the blade.

At this time, Shadow San also stood up, he temporarily suppressed the feeling of weakness in his body, and regained some combat strength, "Do you think that until now, we will still believe your words unconditionally?" If so, you'd be naΓ―ve. ”

"I don't have to start this phase, you can all do. It's just that time is limited, and you have about thirty breaths of time to think about it, and everything we have done will be in vain, and we will not be able to summon it again in a short time. ”

Shadow Seven gave the answer without thinking, but threw the question back.

To open or not to open? This is something that all four are thinking about.

Time passed little by little, and after about ten breaths, Shadow Four also stood up. He spread out his left hand, where a white pill lay quietly.

"Swallow this pill, and we'll agree to your request. Rest assured, as long as nothing happens in the end, I can unravel this poison at any time. ”

Ying Qi didn't even look at it, "I said, the choice is yours, and I can't be restrained by you, and I can't open it up with you." After speaking, he folded his hands in front of him, as if he did not intend to speak again.

Everyone was in a dilemma again, and at the same time, the black fog on the stone table fluctuated, as if the black fog on the periphery had escaped, leaving them with little time to think about.

Shadow Four gritted his teeth fiercely, and quickly transmitted a sound with Shadow Three, and then flew directly behind Shadow Seven, and Shadow Five, who was holding a double blade in front of Shadow Seven, also changed directions. In this way, Shadow Seven was in front, and the other four were behind, each of them taking out their weapons, and at the same time pinching the props of the spatial teleportation, ready to slip away at any time.

"Go and turn it on." Shadow Four's voice was cold to the bone.

Shadow Seven walked to the stone table with steady steps, and plunged his right hand into the black mist. As he said, with just a little mana, the black mist changed, turning from a human form into a circle of light, and the aura of spatial fluctuations came to their faces, and a picture quietly unfolded in front of them.

"Let's go." Shadow Seven bought the aperture in one step before the others could pinn it down, and then completely disappeared into the underground space. The other four hesitated for a moment, although they were led by the nose the whole time, but things had come to this point, and they didn't seem to have any reason to give up. Finally, the shadow three took the lead, and the four of them also stepped into the aperture one after another. After everyone was gone, the aperture flickered, and then disappeared completely.

Calm returned to the depths of the earth, as if nothing had happened, not even the six tokens had disappeared without a trace.
