Chapter 106: The Roots of Sin
The night is getting darker and darker, and it is rare that a slight evening breeze blows, bringing a hint of coolness.
After a search that didn't have too many twists and turns, Ye Bingyue and the three of them finally found the girl who didn't look very smart again.
It's just that she doesn't seem to understand that they are not very welcome.
"Do you really understand what you're doing?"
As Mo Yuyan walked, she looked at Ye Bingyue and the three people who were following her, and continued: "This has nothing to do with you, just leave it to me!" ”
Seeing that his younger brother and Ye Bingyue were not interested, Berwyn was obviously handing over all this difficult drudgery to him, after all, he was the first to advocate to save the young Ah Fei.
"We are friends with Ah Fei. Since we are friends, now that we know, we can't help but save him. Berwynshuang replied.
Mo Yuyan originally wanted to sneak into the holy mountain alone to verify this matter, but he didn't want others to know about it at all, so he could only pretend to be impatient and said, "Even if you want to save him, you don't have to follow me, right?" ”
Berwynshuang didn't know how to answer, so he had to laugh haha, smiled awkwardly, and said, "By the way, let's go together!" ”
"Trust me, we're only going to help you."
Seeing that they were pestering and refused to stop, Mo Yuyan had no choice but to say to them: "It's okay to follow me, but you have to listen to me and don't mess around." ”
"And ...... The place I'm going to is dangerous, and if something happens, I'm responsible for the consequences, I don't care! ”
Mo Yuyan took Ye Bingyue and them to a remote abandoned forest courtyard near the Holy Mountain. A small cyan snake emerged from her belt and led them to the dry well in the forest, and the bright red snake letter licked the remaining breath in the air.
"Follow me!"
Mo Yuyan jumped into the well, his heel lightly pressed against the wall of the well, reducing the momentum of the fall.
Mo Yuyan wanted to get rid of them here, but she didn't think that anyone would dare to jump into such a dry well that didn't know the depth.
However, her wish was quickly disappointed, this little thing, where is it rare to live with Ye Bingyue and the three of them.
Mo Yuyan lifted the jade in the bracelet, and in the dark well, it lit up with a light blue fluorescence, illuminating the surroundings.
Surprisingly, there is such a huge space hidden under the dry well.
They followed the girl Mo Yuyan to several empty doors, each door was the same deep, the same darkness, and they didn't know where it led.
The little cyan snake, without any hesitation, swam towards the chosen passage.
The cold and damp tunnels have a lot of small insects, some with some faint green fluorescence, or make weird chirps, and occasionally a low and screaming sound, which makes them creepy to hear.
Following Mo Yuyan all the way, Ye Bingyue and they didn't know what kind of place this was, why there was such a tunnel under the Holy City, and how did Mo Yuyan know, and could they really find Ah Fei and those missing children from here?
Pressing the doubts in their hearts, Ye Bingyue and the three of them followed Mo Yuyan and continued to move forward.
"Why did I feel a shake on the ground just now?" Berwynth stopped and asked Berwyn in a low voice beside him.
Berwin Shuang and Ye Bingyue nodded in agreement, but they couldn't think of a reason and didn't answer.
Seeing that they stopped, Mo Yuyan whispered, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't keep up quickly, if you get lost, don't worry about my business." ”
obviously cares about everything, but every time Mo Yuyan speaks, he always wants to put aside his own involvement, a immature face, but he can be arrogant.
Unable to find anything unusual around here, Berwyn and the others had to follow Mo Yuyan and continue walking forward.
The boring and lonely environment deepened their fear little by little, and if it weren't for someone together, Mo Yuyan doubted whether he would really be able to go alone.
Although she had vaguely heard of this secret passage, it was also her first time here.
The Holy Mountain ruled this desert, and even the city lord of the Holy City, her father, did not dare to touch the scales of the Holy Mountain at all.
The secret passage here had been built long before the priests in the sacred mountain came here, and she had vaguely seen it from the ancient records left by the family.
She didn't actually expect that this secret passage really existed.
She didn't expect Ah Fei to be brought here by them, and she wondered why the divine servants on the holy mountain were so sneaky.
Even if someone sees it inadvertently, they don't need to explain it to anyone by virtue of their power.
The group passed a corner, and a little light appeared in front of the dark tunnel, indicating the end of the tunnel.
The closer they got to the seemingly boundless darkness in the distance, the more nervous they became, whether it was Ye Bingyue or Mo Yuyan, and it could even be said that they were a little afraid and regretful.
When they first came out of Ah Fei's house, they were full of enthusiasm, completely ignoring the great strength that the Holy Mountain possessed.
The Holy Mountain does not dominate this vast territory entirely by those false beliefs.
Belief in such a thing can only fool and deceive the foolish, and for any sober person it is more like a clumsy lie.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
Mo Yuyan and the others cautiously approached the end of the tunnel without making any sound.
However, the scene in front of them made these teenagers and girls so frightened that they couldn't speak, and a young heart beat violently and twitched!
At the end of the tunnel, there is a huge cave, and in the center of the cave hangs thick roots, from the top of the cave into the ground, and the thick roots are crawling with countless roots of different sizes. These roots and whiskers were like swimming snakes, wandering in the air, tightly clamping one child after another, burrowing into their mouths and noses. These children are pale in complexion, their weak torsos are as thin as wood, their limbs hang down weakly, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead.
In this horrific scene, dozens of young children wept in despair, hoarsely exhausted, and rolled on the ground struggling. And beside them, four tall priests stood around them, indifferent to their sorrows, their snow-white wings folded, not to disturb the dust, so gorgeous and holy.
Seeing this scene, Mo Yuyan and Ye Bingyue's faces turned pale, and an instinctive feeling of nausea rushed straight into their hearts, and all kinds of strange emotions hit them for a while, shaking their simple minds
The four of them looked at each other, a simple impulse, and quickly reached a consensus among them, "Kill the bird, save the person!" ”。
They even forgot that they had no chance of winning against these four divine servants of unknown strength.
But what is this, the value of teenagers is that they are not good at deceiving themselves!
At this time, where can I manage so much.
……
Their appearance was completely unexpected by the four divine servants.
It's quite secretive, so there are very few guards to defend it, and it's mostly just to keep the kids from escaping.
The Divine Wing Clan was born warriors, and as soon as they appeared, the four Divine Servants were ready for battle, drew the silver sword at their waists, and soared into the air, ready to destroy these few bold fanatics who did not know the height of the sky and dared to offend the dignity of the Holy Mountain and their Divine Wing Clan.
Mo Yuyan and the four of them each faced a divine servant and fought together in front of the entrance of the cave.
Seeing this scene, some children who were crying because of fear suddenly stopped, and their helpless eyes looked at Mo Yuyan instinctively, as if they understood their already destined fate and ushered in a hint of a turnaround.
Among the four, Ye Bingyue had a slight upper hand, and Mo Yuyan was able to remain undefeated with the cooperation of the cyan snake, but the two brothers, Berwyn and Berwyn, could only resist the attack of the divine servants with difficulty, and the situation was precarious.
The situation is not in their favor.
Their only hope of victory was Ye Bingyue.
Only if she wins as soon as possible will they be able to reverse this unfavorable situation.
It's just a pity that the iron sword in the hands of Ye Bingyue and the three of them is of inferior quality, and they can't spend their strength at all, and their swordsmanship skills are out of ten.
This is what they have managed to save up to buy these days, but they can only pick up some of the worst defective products.
In the open cave, the roots of those trees are bright red, drawing nourishment from the "blood bags" they wrap in, constantly delivering to the taproot, doing the work that has been repeated every day and moment of its long years.
Inserted in the cave walls around the cave, the blazing flames in the ancient bronze torch kept jumping, and the bright fire light shone on Ye Bingyue's figure, and the elongated shadow was reflected on the cave wall, and the same opponent was engaged in a similar battle.
"That's it! Have you had enough? ”
From the root of the tree that was half-suspended in the air, a gray-gold wings flew out, and the wide wings were spread, and a thin old man with an ugly face did not have half of the beauty and handsomeness of the other Divine Wing clans.
In the flash of light, he snatched the iron sword from Ye Bingyue's hands, slapped it to the ground with one palm, and spat blood from his mouth.
With a "clang", Ye Bingyue's weapons were thrown to the ground by him at will.
The four warriors of the Divine Wing Clan knelt on one knee, plunged their swords into the ground with both hands, and said in unison, "See Elder Bai!" ”
And the Elder Bai in their mouths was ignored, but approached step by step in the direction where Mo Yuyan was.
Mo Yuyan, who was panicked, fell to the ground, not daring to look at him directly, and kept supporting him with his hands in fear.
Elder Bai stared at her and said, "Why are you so bothered? ”
"I've never liked you humans, nor the guys above me, nor have I had the slightest interest in their ambitions."
"But I have my position and duty, determined by race, and naturally I can't refuse!"
"You shouldn't have come here today!"
Elder Bai didn't have the slightest look of unbearability on his face, and he didn't know whether what he said was true or false.
Ye Bingyue and the three of them got up and came together, with a bitter face, knowing that this time they were really in a catastrophe!
