Chapter 272: Death Rite

I fell to the ground hard. The wolf-eyed flashlight and the golden scepter in his hand rolled to the side. The skeleton of the whole body seemed to be about to fall apart. But my long-standing professionalism made me stand up immediately despite the severe pain all over my body. Then I saw a shocking scene.

Beneath that huge bronze dome. I don't know when the flames boiled.

The flames swirled. The momentum is strong. It's like a resurrected devil dancing and jumping.

Zhang Yi and Shen Dali were closest to the flame. The pants have been burned.

Cold Moon reacted extremely quickly and bounced up from the ground. quickly rushed over and dragged Zhang Yi and Shen Dali out.

"Get rolled." I yelled for a reminder.

Shen Dali and Zhang Yi hurriedly rolled on the spot a few times. After the fire on the body is extinguished. Hurriedly got up and reached out to extinguish the flames. Then he looked at the flames that suddenly burst out in the ding.

I rushed over anxiously to ask what had just happened. saw that the two of them were also at a loss. Obviously, it's not clear.

Could it be said. The sudden flame was related to the golden scepter I had drawn.

That's right. The Golden Scepter.

I turned my head around and searched. But I saw that Leng Yue had already picked up the wolf's eye flashlight and golden scepter that I had left behind. And come back to me. Handed me back the flashlight.

I have to say. This wolf-eyed flashlight is really sturdy. It fell so hard. It's not bad.

As the flame ignited. Not much. There was a sound of "coo-to-goo" in the ding. It seems that the wax inside has boiled. And it's bubbling up like it.

Sure enough, it was just as I guessed. Immediately after that, we saw that the wax inside the ding had already steamed. and overflow outward. It flows down the outer surface of the giant ding. and was quickly burned black. Sticky to the outer wall of the giant ding.

I hurriedly said to the people, "Withdraw." ”

But. Just as I said that. Black smoke rose from inside the giant dome. It rolls upside down and spreads in all directions. Blazing fast. In a short time, the entire upper layer of the platform was enveloped in it. Naturally, we didn't have time to withdraw.

Because I didn't have time to prepare. None of us were wearing gas masks or masks. When you are caught off guard and are wrapped in black fog. It's too late for us to react.

But. What I didn't expect is. The black smoke didn't even affect our breathing. It didn't even interfere with our vision. It just darkens everything we see.

The plant light was softer in the black mist. And spread wider. It makes us feel as if we are in a dream.

Shen Dali suddenly pointed in the direction of Juding and shouted, "Look." What is that. ”

When I heard this, I quickly looked up. Frightened to see at the edge of the giant ding. A black figure emerged from the upper half of the body. Climbing outward.

"It won't be a rice dumpling." Zhang Yi lowered his voice and asked uneasily.

Shen Dali listened to what he said. Hurriedly took out a small gourd cinnabar from his backpack. I also dig into my backpack. only to find that my gourd cinnabar was missing.

Leng Yue gently poked me beside him. Holding a small gourd dangling in front of my eyes. Whispered to me, "Look for this." ”

That's right. When he was dealing with the imp, I threw my gourd cinnabar to him. Luckily, I didn't lose it.

In the process. The figure in the ding had crawled out. And in the air, he gradually walked down to the altar not far away, like stepping on a staircase.

I stared. I was surprised to recognize the man's appearance, figure, and even clothing and decoration. It turned out to be exactly the same as the huge stone statue on this platform.

Miduo also recognized the man's face. He pointed at the man and gestured at me for a while. Seems to be telling me. This man was the face he saw in the fog.

If I'm not mistaken. After we saw the faces in the fog. I once drew some words on the ground. Roughly speaking, the face in the fog said a word to her. And that Miao word means "death".

My brain was like electricity. Suddenly an idea came to me.

Quite possibly. The words of the faces that each of us saw at that time. All correspond to a sacrificial event. This is the altar where death is sacrificed.

That Zhu Yuko stepped on the void like a ghost. Arrive at the altar. Then he turned his head and looked around. Seems to be looking for something.

Suddenly. He turned his head. Look to our side. He looked at us one by one with those cold eyes. Finally, his gaze stopped at the golden scepter in Leng Yue's hand.

I vaguely guessed what Nazhu Yuko was going to do. Busy said to Leng Yue, "Quickly give him the golden scepter." ”

I originally thought that Leng Yue would do what I said. I didn't think this guy knew what to think. He actually held the golden scepter in his arms. Ask me "why".

What is the difference between his behavior and that of a child who is not in the world. I yelled in annoyance, "What the hell. Hurry up and give it to him. Otherwise, something could happen. ”

Cold Moon seemed to hesitate. And that Zhuyuko had already begun to walk under the altar. Leng Yue seems to have finally figured it out. But still very reluctantly. Shake your hand and throw the golden scepter towards the Zhu Yuke.

I wish Yuko to stop. Raise your hand and take the golden scepter. And then he didn't look at us anymore.

He scribbled out of thin air with a golden rod in the black mist. The place that was crossed. Unexpectedly, there was a golden light that did not disperse. It became a text that we couldn't read.

Then. He raised his arms high. Began to chant loudly and religiously in an eerie tone.

He sang very short. Repeat and repeat.

Repeat to the third time. Beneath the high platform we are on. There was a sound of earth-shattering chanting. It is exactly the same as what Yuko sang.

In a panic, Duo ran to the edge. After a glance down. In a panic, he pointed down and yelled at us.

My heart shook. Hurriedly ran over and looked down. I saw countless stone statues of human faces standing crookedly below. Look to our side. The mouth shape is the same as the mouth opening indefinitely. The two rows of stone teeth bite and separate.

It turned out. The chanting was made by the stone statues in unison.

Could it be that we took the golden scepter? Inexplicably touched the mechanism. Let's start the death sacrifice.

I'm suspicious. But I heard a continuous "bang" sound from above. I hurriedly looked up. I saw that the countless coffins hanging in the sky were constantly bouncing up and down. It's weird.

In the midst of the noise. An extremely thick iron chain hung from above. It was located directly above the altar.

At this time. Najuyuko had already stepped down from the altar. He was kneeling towards the altar. Bury your face in the ground. Respect you like the most devout believer in the world.

Suddenly. The altar rubbed against the ground. Moves in a fan-shaped trajectory. Gave way to a rectangular black hole below.

Wait until the altar stops. A stone platform rises inside the black hole. On the table was a highly decomposed wooden coffin.
