Chapter 128: The Actors Are in Place......
"The old witch, at unknown times, according to an ancient legend, combined her soul with one of her own portrait-embossed gemstone pendants and attained a degree of immortality."
Mo Chen pointed to the severed hand on the ground and whispered something like a plot in a magical one.
"That way, as long as the pendant is still there, she won't be killed...... Even if she dies, she will just turn into a swarm of rats, and then she will reappear unscathed. β
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"But you just said that this severed hand belongs to the old witch, right?" Laura sensed she already knew what was going to happen.
After all, if the old witch really hadn't been killed, then this severed hand shouldn't have appeared here, and she shouldn't have had the opportunity to hear Mo Chen tell such an incredible story.
And...... Turning into a rat? Re-emerge unscathed?
Laura felt as if she understood something, after all, Rose had said before, he saw a large group of rats, and when he chased after him, he found the traces of old Green.
"Yes, the legendary Assassin got her portrait and jeweled pendant, and then ended the old witch's life in the sewers of that city without anyone knowing."
Mo Chen nodded.
And Miss Crawford couldn't help it at this time, and made up the relevant reasons in her brain-
Nobody knows...... It was because there was a battle in the sewers of the city. Is this the other way around, so to speak, to hide people's eyes, that's why they have to fight in that kind of place?
After all, in normal human society, it is impossible to have that kind of unconventional battle between supernatural forces! Besides, I had never heard of such a thing, and I hadn't even heard of a clue.
"Fifteen years have passed, and the old witch has long since died, but for some unknown reason, her severed hand has been preserved, and it has become a rather powerful dark magic item, and a certain gang leader discovered its magic."
Mo Chen pointed to the shriveled severed hand on the ground and said softly.
"And then ...... As you can see, it's now in my hands. β
Although he lightly concealed the affairs of the War Howlers and Paolo, and used the Spring and Autumn brushwork to explain how he obtained this dark magic item, Miss Crawford still looked at him with a strange look.
After all, this is not something that is difficult to make up for in the brain, I'm afraid it's not this guy in front of him with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he has also played the drama of black eating black?
"This severed hand is the most powerful dark magic item I have, and it has the effect of partial immortality of the old witch during her lifetime, but it is a greatly weakened version."
Mo Chen simply explained the power of the severed hand itself beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
"It allows the carrier to turn into a swarm of rats after being fatally wounded and reborn in another place. However, you can only resurrect once a day, and this effect will reset after sunset......"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"That's pretty scary, doesn't that mean that person can have a chance to be resurrected once a day if he has it?"
Miss Crawford thought for a while and finally understood, and she couldn't help but marvel, and then suddenly it seemed as if something was wrong there.
"Wait, you said this thing only works if you carry it with you, but old Green...... He...... But isn't it strange that this severed hand is now with you again? β
She held out her hand and gestured, stammering a little to express what she meant.
However, when Laura looked down closely, she suddenly realized that the severed hand only had four fingers.
"Heh, did you finally find outβyes, the talisman I gave to Old Greene was made from one of these phalanges."
Mo Chen stared at her expression with some amusement, and suddenly laughed with evil taste.
Laura was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that the essence of this thing is a human hand! I didn't feel anything wrong at all just now, and I discussed so many things with the other party?
She has accepted and is used to killing people or something, especially after the impact of the death of old Greene before, she feels that as long as she is an enemy, then only turning into a corpse will make her feel at ease-
That way, they will never be able to hurt anyone else, whether it be themselves or their companions, and they will be safe.
However, even if this is good, she is still at the physical and mental level of a normal person, at least she can't do things like dismembering or dismembering, and deliberately cut off a hand or a foot from the corpse......
Thinking of this, Miss Crawford's face couldn't help but change slightly, as if she felt a little disgusted after reacting.
"I don't think it's acceptable, but just think that it just saved the old man's life, you won't think so......"
Mo Chen smiled, he looked at the severed hand on the ground, and whispered like a devil: "Speaking of which, the remaining materials can still be processed into about ten resurrection talismans......"
Materials, materials, materials...... These are the materials.
"Hmmββ!!"
As if she was resisting some impulse, Laura closed her eyes slightly, breathing a little rapidly for a long time, her full chest rising and falling violently.
Then she opened her eyes, looked elsewhere, and said in a somewhat reluctant tone, "Then again...... If the entire severed hand is processed into more than a dozen talismans, the effect will definitely be weakened! β
"That's right, what used to be a resurrection opportunity once a day will probably become once a month...... And the resurrection itself should have no side effects, but you've also heard about Old Green's condition, which probably leads to a rather debilitating period. β
Mo Chen looked at Miss Crawford, who seemed to have accepted the facts, with some surprise, and then nodded, admitting the other party's guess.
But in fact, there is nothing to guess about.
A severed hand itself has this effect, but after the whole is split into multiple objects, although the magical nature of the hand itself will not change because of this, the magical power contained in each object that is split up is definitely relatively small.
It would be strange if the effect was completely unchanged, right? Is the law of "conservation" still needed?
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
At the same time, on the other side of the islandβ
"How? Have you contacted the search and rescue target? β
"Not yet, sir...... The problem of radio interference here is quite large, and I'm not sure if the messages we've sent have been received. β
"Go ahead, they're not only rescuers, but they must be found if they know more about the island than we do!"
"Yes, sir!"
Somewhere on the island, a makeshift camp had been cleared, and two helicopter gunships were hovering steadily over the flat terrain in the center.
The soldiers, who were heavily armed to the teeth, continued to build the temporary camp in an orderly manner, as if they were going to take root here, and all kinds of materials and facilities were transported to various designated locations, and then assembled and put into use.
A forward base will be built here, and if there is no problem in the future, more military personnel, scientific researchers, etc., as well as related materials and facilities will be gradually delivered here through small and small strands of transportation.
As cumbersome as it may seem, it seems like an option.
After all, they first drove to the sea near the island by steamer, and then slowly flew at a low altitude by helicopter to approach the island, and landed here safely.
At least there was no sudden change in the weather, or it was really possible to slowly establish a safe and secure scientific research base on the island in this way, like ants moving.
- Whether it is the special forces that have landed on the island now, or the command center in their rear, they all have such optimistic ideas.
The only pity is that it is not only them who have also landed on the island, but also other countries, and I am afraid that they have also made breakthroughs in other parts of the island at this time...... The next step was to explore inland from different directions according to the plan.
So it's a pity, such a huge island, with its secrets and values, should be in the hands of a democratic and free country like them, so why cooperate with other countries?
Those robbers are really unappetizing!
"Sir, the exploration team sent out has already sent back the news that they have found a large area of ancient buildings in the nearby Grand Canyon, and there is ......"
"They said they had been attacked by a strange humanoid creature, that there were casualties, and that they needed support."
"Strange ...... Humanoids? β
The officer who received the report was stunned for a while, and then he understood what he meant, and his face suddenly became pleasantly surprised.
He took the detailed report document, looked at it carefully, and quickly became happy.
Large, powerful as an ox, agile in action, and not afraid of life and death...... And he also wears the armor of ancient samurai and fights with ancient cold weapons such as swords, maces, bows and arrows?
Just by looking at the descriptions, you can determine that these things are simply miracles of modern anthropology......
Thinking of this, the officer stood up at once:
"Where is the location? Tell them we'll be there right away! I'll lead the team myself! β
Less than an hour after landing, it seems that some important secrets on the island have been discovered, which is a major breakthrough!
We must seize this opportunity to push forward the progress of exploration in one go, ensure the interests of a free and democratic country, and leave those damned bandits far behind!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Half an hour later.
Near the ancient palace complex of the Grand Canyon.
I don't know when the raging storm is releasing its energy, and the heavens and the earth seem to have turned into a whirling and furious ocean.
The world of light suddenly plunged into terror and darkness.
"Mo Chen, what are we doing...... Has it been discovered?! β
Following Mo Chen, against the strong wind, rushed across the bridge with great difficulty, Miss Crawford couldn't help but shout loudly in the wind pressure The figure in front of her, and subconsciously looked back at what Mo Chen tossed out-
Countless huge plants and vines seem to have grown for countless years, and the rhizomes are as thick and tough as dragons.
They all took root on the dilapidated bridge behind them, intertwined with each other, growing staggered, python-like rhizomes and rattans twisted into twisted shapes, like a large net growing inside, wrapping the entire bridge deadly.
And according to this, he withstood the fierce impact of the terrible wind.
These seem to be some kind of "demonic plants", and the guy in front of them used some plant seeds that were scavenged on the spot, cast a spell, and sent them to the bridge.
Then the twisted and crazy plants seemed to have used the golden kera, and when they saw the wind, they grew wildly, and took over the entire bridge as fast as they could, and attacked and killed the thugs on the bridge.
However, a large thick cloud suddenly appeared from the sky, and it seemed that there was an endless wind in the clouds.
- It seems that some terrible will is enraged because they are approaching the ancient palace in front of them.
Such an unusual phenomenon almost made Laura subconsciously understand what was going on. If the young man in front of him hadn't lied to himself, this was probably one of the proofs of Himiko's existence?
"That's right, that's all I can get here...... She had sensed my approach. β
Mo Chen in front of him finally stopped, he raised his head, and he could also feel the existence of a certain angry and crazy hatred consciousness in front of him.
"I'll try to contain and distract her power, and the rest of the road is up to Laura...... Remember what I said, you have to wait until she starts to transfer her soul before she attacks! β
After telling Laura, Mo Chen stared closely at the storm in front of him, as if he had seen the outline of the ancient palace through an obstacle.
It's not just Laura who needs to take risks, he's also going to have to take huge risks to face the most terrifying of nature's powers!
I hope there are no innocent people near the ancient palace, and it is better not to have any second group of search and rescue teams......
Otherwise, they may find themselves and others breaking into the set of "War of the Gods".
