Volume 1: The Tide of Dusk: The Temperature of Memory (4)

It was indeed the light of the moon, and at the end of the passage was an unfathomable crater, the entrance of which was actually in the middle of the crater.

It is indeed in the location of the original lumber yard, but the scene in front of it is no longer what the information describes.

At the bottom of the circular pit with a diameter of about fifty meters, the bottom of the pit shimmering red, was drawn into an ancient rune with an unknown material, the rune seemed to have life, surging with red energy, and countless low-level skeletons were like a pilgrimage, forming a circle after circle around the rune, they all lowered their twisted heads, and knelt down towards the rune.

What a strange scene.

Li Ruolin always felt that he had seen the rune before, the vicissitudes of life that had gone through a long time continued to exude a huge pit with the subtle fluctuation of energy, and on the high platform in the center of the rune was a figure wearing a black cloak, with several terrible sarcomas on his forehead, covering his face almost completely, the twisted blood vessels were almost about to burst out of the sarcoma, and blood overflowed from time to time along the gaps in the sarcoma.

Li Ruolin lowered her figure, her arrival did not alarm the group of monsters at the bottom of her feet.

She looked intently at the very center of the man, who had not completely abandoned his human form, his limbs and body were normal humanoids, apparently a high-level skeleton that had not been seen before.

His lips were closed one by one, and he was singing something, Li Ruolin was still some distance away from the senior skeleton, and the staccato voice in his ears was not very real, and under that hateful face, it was very difficult to read the lip language.

"Master, the Most High Realm, the path of fire and sword, the feast, the origin. ”

Only these repetitive key words could be heard clearly, he seemed to chant and sing, and the runes pierced through with the bursts of magic sounds, which were more conspicuous, and the crimson energy became more and more vivid, like the tumbling lava in the crater.

The senior skeleton fell to his knees exaggeratedly, the liquid mixed with pus and blood dripping from the sarcoma with the sharp swing of his body, and he began to dance his arms hysterically, the terrifying cracks in the muscles of his forearms, and the dark tendons were exposed to the air, throbbing wildly.

Li Ruolin had only seen the scene of the dancing god on the Internet, which was quite similar to the scene in front of her, but her intuition told her that things were not so simple.

The low-level skeletons kept their heads bowed, kneeling on one knee, meekly like toy soldiers in a children's castle, and these twisted and strong monsters were surprisingly quiet at this time.

Should I go on? Or should I continue to observe?

She struggled in her heart, and although she didn't seem to be moving at the moment, the increasingly vivid red runes still made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Or should the divisional operatives come and gather and wipe out all the wreckage?

She lifted the double swords in her hand, which seemed to resonate with her master's intentions, and the sword body trembled slightly, and two white rays flashed from top to bottom.

To solve the presiding officer of this strange ritual at once, the low-level skeleton could say anything, and she could see that it was the figure in the black cloak who was in charge of all this.

The combat leather boots under her feet were slightly forced, and she bowed up like a cat, her legs maintained a ready posture, holding Wanhua across her chest, and the cold gaze in her eyes was firmly fixed on the figure in the center of the giant pit.

The red luster emitted by the runes stretched his figure very long, and it was just at the edge of Wanhua's ability, which was a very comfortable angle for assassination.

According to her thoughts, after a few seconds, she only needed to flash behind the man, and Wanhua could end his life in a flash.

She had already planned the path when evacuating, even if she couldn't lock the shadow outside the giant crater in the pit, as long as she used the ability of the dream, there would be no problem.

A gust of wind blew into the hole, indigo hair fluttered in the air, and the girl's slender figure curled up in an arc, looking for the best time to enter.

In this silent moment, applause suddenly sounded from behind him.

Of course, her reaction was extremely fast, although she didn't feel the breath of the person behind her at all, but the stress reaction still made her instantly turn around with her right foot as the axis, and she slashed in the direction of the applause, but this slash was in the air, and the sharp tip of the sword pierced the wall on her side.

When she looked intently, she only had time to see the figure flying towards her, and the whistling fist wind was faster than the speed of the dream.

No, in every way, this man is much faster than himself!

When he noticed this, his fist with ferocious strength had already slammed into his lower abdomen.

The violent impact made Li Ruolin unsteady on her feet, she leaned back, a mouthful of blood foaming from her mouth, and stumbled under her feet.

She was already at the end of the cave entrance, her back to the runes and bones at the bottom of the cave, and she could see the attacker slowly poking his head out, the corners of his grinning mouth raised a trace of solemn arc.

"Be one with the power of your host. ”

The man's voice from under his hood was gentle and gentle like a false voice, and he turned away and disappeared into the dark hole.

The skeletons at the bottom of the cave raised their heads in the direction where Li Ruolin fell, and angry howls came out of the group of skeletons, but the senior skeletons led by them looked at the falling figure in a daze, and the pupils that were almost squeezed out of their eye sockets by sarcoma flashed with a crazy luster.

"Become with us the new sacrifice of the great world!"

He raised his hands, his whole arm trembling with extreme excitement.

The red runes under his feet boiled to the extreme, melting the surrounding land, and he took out a dagger inlaid with the same red runes from his bosom and stabbed it towards his heart.

Li Ruolin coughed in midair, she forcibly endured the sharp pain in her abdomen, flipped her body towards the ground, her feet slightly forward, and stood on the charred ground at the bottom of the pit.

The fist of the mysterious man just now was extremely fierce, and Li Ruolin was conceited and extremely fast, but she still couldn't dodge this crisp and neat attack.

The abdominal muscles were strained, and the intense soreness surged up instantly, obviously suffering a lot of internal injuries, she gritted her teeth, ignored the endless pain, and quickly raised her double blades and put on a defensive posture.

The landing point was on the verge of flickering runes, and the texture of the ground under his feet was inexplicably soft, as if it would collapse downwards at any time.

The dense corpses around her had surrounded her, her empty eye sockets locked on Li Ruolin's figure, and her sharp claws shone sharply in the moonlight.

But the scene she had expected didn't happen.

The high-ranking skeleton in the center let out a heart-rending howl, blood spilling down the gap in the dagger inserted in his heart, absorbed by the short dagger engraved with red runes.

The swarm of bones went crazy.

But they weren't crazy because of Li Ruolin's appearance, they roared, twisted their huge charcoal black bodies, and rushed towards the center of the rune.

They frantically surged towards the center point, ignoring Li Ruolin's existence, and after a while, they would collapse into a mountain of bones.

This scene was so weird that even Li Ruolin was stunned for a long time, the two blades ready for battle were already overflowing with white light, but those skeletons that should have been the objects of the battle were like demons stunned, playing Arhats in front of her, which really made her cry and laugh.

The next moment, the earth under his feet shook violently, and the red rune itself broke through the final critical point, spewing out red energy bodies from the sky, and in the volcanic eruption-like scene, the central point was stacked into a mountain of remains, slowly sinking into the ground.

As the group of corpses in front of him sank, a curtain of light rose from all around the pit, enveloping the huge crater entirely.

If An Yiran is here, he should sigh that this is not a steamer.

Li Ruolin naturally didn't think about something like the boy who looked extremely unreliable, she dodged the eruption of red energy, and came to the land where the red runes did not spread, the heat came from the soles of her feet, and the temperature in the pit was rising with the restlessness of the runes.

She turned her head to look at the sinking swarm, the red energy had condensed into a liquid-like substance, swallowing everything that had gathered, and with each sag, the runes surged more manic.

Devouring, collapsing, high temperatures, rituals.

Scenes flashed through Li Ruolin's mind, trying to piece together clues about this strange scene.

She raised her hand and threw Wanhua towards the top of the light curtain, and Wanhua swept through the air with a sound of breaking the air.

However, a second later, the sword body came into contact with the light curtain, as if it was stuck on an invisible wall, making a sharp sound, and the Wanhua sword body, which had lost its strength, fell down weakly.

Reaching out to pick up the fallen Wanhua, she turned around quietly, her eyes scanning everything around her.

The ancient rune had lost its original shape, and magma-like energy bodies continued to pour out from the center of the rune, and a ray of light appeared and disappeared from time to time where it devoured the remains.

Li Ruolin walked towards the position of that light, and the closer she got to the light that flickered in the tumbling red energy, the more obvious the oppressive force became, and the temperature was about to break through that limit.

She was only a few meters away from the light source, so that she could see the glow in real shape.

Inside the luminous body was a cluster of fire-shaped positional energy, like a baby, asleep under the protection of the red energy outside.

Li Ruolin suddenly felt that the form of the luminous body was so beautiful, even if it was surging with terrifying red energy, even if it was spreading the extreme heat in the world, but the innocence and beautiful feeling that did not know the world surged into her heart without warning.

Is this really the possession of the Nightwreckage?

Why did she feel such a strange sense of identity, even pity?

Her cold gaze seemed to be melted by the temperature, if Lao Zhang was also here, she would definitely be as surprised as if she had seen a ghost when she saw Li Ruolin's gentle expression.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is gentle, and the flashing in the watery eyes is not an exaggeration to say that it is the brilliance of motherhood.

She slowly stretched out her hand towards the center of the luminous energy body, the dancing red energy almost flushed her white fingers, and the fatal attraction from the depths of the energy body was slowly bringing Li Ruolin into the abyss of positional energy.

"Xiao Lin, what are you thinking?"

The posture of her outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and the gentle voice that belonged to a man was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, hitting the soft nerve in her heart hard.
