Chapter 4: The Flame Demon Cultists
The footsteps were light, inconspicuous in the quirming of the fluid slime, and if Rowan hadn't just calmed down, he wouldn't have noticed.
However, once noticed, it is not so easy to hide.
Rowan pressed his ear to the wall and held his breath to listen.
The footsteps were only a wall away from him, from far to near, and from near to far, and gradually disappeared on the other side of the sewer.
Rowan poked his head out, only to see a black shadow.
"Who?"
Because the sewers are dirty and smelly, and the slimes in the cluster have no hunting value, no one usually enters or leaves.
Rowan was slightly puzzled, but based on the desire to seek advantage and avoid harm, he was ready to stay away from that direction and hunt the Flame Slime elsewhere.
However, the sound of footsteps forced him back into the corner.
This time the man was in a hurry, and he paused slightly at the edge of the waterway, and then hurried in the direction in which the man had disappeared.
Then there was the third person, then the fourth person......
More and more people came from the front of the solitary to the threes and fives, and finally there was even a large group of people, men and women, old and young, some wearing linen clothes and some wearing armor and shields, the only common feature was that they all wore masks.
"When did such a group of people come to town?"
Rowan muttered, and as his curiosity burned, he felt threatened.
No one would gather in the sewers with a mask for no reason, there must be a conspiracy involved, and if that conspiracy threatened the entire town, then Rowan was not destined to stay out of it.
"Check it out!"
After making up his mind, Rowan looked at the corpse of the Yanyan Slime, and the whole corpse was only a red skin, and the original slime was lying on the skin like mud, and still couldn't see any growth.
After putting the waste into the hunter's badge, Rowan picked up the red leather bag, condensed it into scissors with crystal force, cut out a crude mask in three or two strokes, and then put it on his face and walked out directly at the end of the group.
The further they went, the more silent they became, and the sparse voices faded away, as if there was an eerie atmosphere forcing them to be quiet.
Rowan quietly followed, those people's masks were all sorts of things, all kinds of strange things, but it made his Flame Slimeskin mask less eye-catching.
After about half an hour, Rowan gradually lost his direction, but found the walking road signs, which were dark red arrows, the location of the arrows was extremely secret, if they were not hidden in the dark, or they were pieced together with various materials to form a rough arrow shape.
Along the way, Rowan unknowingly passed through several secret doors, and for the first time he was surprised by the sewers in all directions.
Finally, after passing through the last secret door, he entered what appeared to be a large auditorium.
At the front of the auditorium, there is an unusually striking high platform on which stands a statue.
The statue had two horns, protruding fangs, an inner lip turned outward, an ugly face, skin red as blood, and countless bulging vesicles, from which hot lava flowed out of the ruptured vesicles and accumulated in a pool of lava at the statue's feet.
"Firefiend?"
What else could this image be other than the Fire Demon?
The town of Jingnan is landlocked, but there is an extinct volcano just outside the town, and although forgotten because it has never had any signs of eruption, it is clearly different in this world.
The volcano has always been the abode of the Flame Demon, and now that the Goddess Cult is flourishing, the dark side of Jingnan Town has always hidden the followers of the Flame Demon.
But Luo Wen never expected that the Flame Demon Sect had developed to this scale, and the entire auditorium was densely packed, I am afraid that there were more than three or four hundred people, and there were inevitably people who Luo Wen was familiar with!
One by one, the people entering the auditorium lined up, and the entire auditorium was in order, and the people at the front of the line closed their eyes in front of the Flame Golem, and then drew the outline of a six-pointed star with their fingers on their hearts.
"We were born from the flames, walked on the flames, went through thousands of fires, burned all the dust of the world, and gained eternal life in the flames!"
As the chanting stopped, the six-pointed star in his heart suddenly burst into flames, and the man took a step forward, sinking his whole foot into the pool of lava!
Flames ignited from his trouser legs, and in an instant, they rolled upwards, and by the time he stepped into the lava pool for the second time, the flames had completely engulfed his body!
"Suicide? No, it's a sacrifice! It's a sacrifice of life!"
Rowan was shocked in his heart, he had only seen this kind of madman in various reports in his previous life, but he didn't expect that on the fourth day he came to this world, he would witness this crazy behavior with his own eyes!
The fireman danced in the pool of lava, but it didn't seem to struggle with pain, he didn't seem to feel pain, he neither struggled nor screamed.
Rowan looked around and found that none of the hundreds of people in the audience panicked because of this, and that kind of emotion could not be covered by a mere mask.
By the time he turned back to the lava pool, the Burning Man had already collapsed, but a fiery red crystal slowly rose from where he had fallen and threw itself into the mouth of the Flame Demon Statue!
The man standing on the edge of the lava pool, wrapped in red robes, suddenly stood up and shouted: "His faith is recognized by the God of Fire, his body is burned along with his sins, his soul is inspired by the God of Fire, he will enter the Divine Domain and gain eternal life under the protection of the God of Fire!" ”
"Eternal life! Eternal life! Eternal life! ”
A blazing glow erupted from under the mask, and the second stepped into the pool of lava, then the third, then the fourth......
Rowan was slightly frightened by the death of his predecessors, and he changed his mind and retreated to the secret door without moving.
Waiting like this would definitely be exposed, and he didn't want to be thrown into a lava pool and burned to death.
However, when his hand touched the secret door, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded.
In the next moment, hundreds of people in the audience turned around at the same time, their eyes were uniform, and they were all fixed on Rowan!
"Heretics, heretics have come in!"
The red-robed man shouted at the top of the duck's throat, if he could, Rowan really wanted to remind him, could he not come out with such an ugly voice?
At the moment when the alarm sounded, Rowan did not hesitate to fit and crash into the secret door!
Although I don't know what alarm mechanism is set up for this secret door, it is undoubtedly not closed, because Rowan is the last person to come in!
Bumping and rolling, Rowan rushed out of the secret door and disappeared from everyone's eyes in an instant!
The speed of his reaction saved him, and countless fires bombarded the secret door after that, and explosions rang out one after another.
"Dead?"
The red-robed man walked out of the secret door through the ruins, and after looking around, he found no trace of Rowan, and he retreated with a gloomy face.
Even if the pagan did not die, this sacrificial ritual could not be broken!
Rowan hid at the fork in the road not far away and did not move, and the sound of footsteps might betray his tracks.
Only when the red-robed man retreated did he set off and retreated, preparing to stay away from this place.
"If it weren't for this rattan armor, the explosion just now would be really unbearable."
Luo Wen dusted off the soot on his body, his mask was covered with black ash, but his eyes were still resolute.
But he hadn't gone far when the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the front.
"Do you hear an explosion? It's over there! ”
"Hurry up! After searching the entire sewer, I finally found that I must not miss it! ”
Rowan hid in the alley and saw a group of people rushing by, and the white-robed woman in the lead was none other than a white cardinal of the Church of the Goddess.
Rowan was very impressed by this white cardinal, and in his previous life, he often saw her leading a group of aunts to square dance!
But in this world, she is a genuine white bishop, usually dignified, and she is the face of the goddess church in Jingnan Town.
Rowan thought for a moment, and then quietly touched back after them.
The Fire Demon Sect is obviously carrying out the sacrificial ritual of the Fire Demon Summoning, if they really succeed, then Jingnan Town will definitely fall into a sea of fire!
By the time he arrived, the Goddess Sect had already fought with the Flame Demon Sect, they were using the Crystal Mang Divine Technique, and with a wave of their hand, they could release the Crystal Mang Force Field, and the extremely cold ice element was beating in the force field, and the white ice crystals climbed up the bodies of the Fire Demon Sect Disciples, freezing them all over and shivering. [[[CP|W:250|H:190|A:C|U:http://file2.qidian.com/chapters/20157/6/3533214635717969449665000213485.jpg]]] Especially the square dance aunt is the most fierce, there is an ice goblin the size of two palms sitting on her shoulder, wherever she pointed, the ice goblin spit out a series of ice ripples, and the Fire Demon Cultists who were swept by the ice ripples were all frozen into popsicles, and they couldn't move anymore!
In the face of hundreds of Flame Demon Sect disciples, the Goddess Sect, which was only a dozen people, had the upper hand!
Rowan quietly peeked at the battlefield, and he suddenly found that the red-robed man was still standing on the edge of the lava pool, and one by one the Fire Demon Cultists were pushed directly into the lava pool by him.
It seemed that because they didn't have time to draw the flame six-pointed star in their hearts, they struggled wildly in the flames, constantly letting out heart-rending cries of pain!
This is burned alive!
The surrounding Fire Demon Sect members were frightened by this scene and retreated, as if they had just woken up to the fact that people would be burned in pain! Will die!
The so-called sacrifice is nothing more than feeding the Flame Demon crystals with crystalline power crystals!
"Sisters, come with me and destroy the statue!"
The square dance aunt shouted, and the Goddess Sect began to advance towards the statue, and the surrounding Fire Demon Sect disciples followed one after another, but they couldn't stop their pace at all.
Seeing that the Goddess Cult was about to arrive in front of the statue, a woman who was also wearing a red robe stood up silently.
The woman covered her face with a hideous demon mask, and her wide robe covered her body, making it impossible to distinguish her appearance and figure, but her appearance had a shocking effect.
The same crystal force field spread instantly, but the difference was that it was not filled with ice elements, but more active fire elements!
The conflict between the ice elemental and the fire elemental continued to burst out in the force field, and the invisible explosion instantly disrupted the formation.
Blocked by the red-robed woman, the advancement of the Goddess Sect suddenly stopped.
At this time, Rowan was slowly walking along the wall in the direction of the statue.
Such a battlefield should not have been something he could interfere with now, but the appearance of the red-robed woman made him confused, he approached the statue little by little, and when the distance was right, he threw the first [Deep Analysis] at the red-robed woman in front of the statue.
There was no reaction, the skill level was insufficient, and it was obvious that the level of the red-robed woman was higher than level ten.
However, the use of [Deep Analysis] caught the attention of the red-robed woman, who calmly turned around during the battle and looked at Rowan who was clinging to the wall.
The eyes hidden under the mask of the demon radiated a fierce murderous intent.
Although Luo Wen felt a chill all over his body, he still gritted his teeth and threw out the second [Deep Analysis] at the mask of the red-robed woman!
[Mask: The mask of the red ghost, whose hideous face can scare crying children.] 】
[Hidden information: Yue Ru's mask is made of the soft leather of the Shadow Mouse, which can hide the breath.] 】
