Chapter 134: The Priest of the Evil God
Li Ang suddenly said with a solemn expression: "I feel that something is wrong. ”
His gaze swept over the upside-down skinned corpse, to the frescoes, to the candlesticks, to the bones, and in the end there was still nothing.
Innelly asked, "Did you find anything?"
Li Ang shook his head: "No." ”
She asked, "Shall we stay here now or continue to explore here?"
"Let's find out the structure of this first, move lightly, maybe the demon hasn't left yet, we are quietly approaching in the dark, and we can kill him by surprise. ”
Leon said.
According to his guess, the icefall wall should be the back door, then they should be in the innermost layer now, groping out, most likely hitting the demon.
They found a hidden stone door on the westernmost side of the hall.
The moment he pushed the door out, Li Ang suddenly felt something in his heart and subconsciously looked back.
At this look, he suddenly saw the skinned corpse that was hanging upside down, all of them turned to Li Ang's side, and his bloody empty eyes stared at this side.
Innelly also sensed that something was wrong, looked back, was startled by this scene, and whispered, "Is this haunted?"
Li Ang was a little surprised and said: "It's impossible, I obviously don't feel resentment, aren't these dead bodies dead at all?"
He thought of the zombies of China, and in this Europe, the monsters that should be called resurrected corpses.
But the corpse is obviously an African voodoo thing, how could it be possible to cross the ocean and come to Norway?
Ineri guessed, "The ghosts are not all evil spirits, perhaps they are willing to sacrifice themselves to the evil gods, so even after all the tortures, the souls are still guarding here, acting as loyal guards of the evil gods, like some ascetics, they torture themselves, and use physical pain to confirm their piety." ”
"It's possible!"
Leon felt that Innieri's guess might well be close to the truth.
Inelli said, "Then let's just burn all the corpses in this hall, lest they have any chance of coming back to life." ”
Li Ang shook his head and said, "Forget it." ”
The purpose of burning the hall now is to prevent the corpses from returning from the corpses and making them vulnerable to the enemy, but doing so may also lead to a startling of the snakes.
He explained, "I think it's still those demons that may exist in the shadows, and they pose a greater threat to us, so let's continue to explore." ”
"Good. ”
They closed the stone gate and continued along the road.
There was a shallow layer of coagulated grease in the brazier next to the road, which was black and gray, and it seemed that it could still be ignited.
After a certain distance, the ground began to become neat and clean, made up of white strips of stone slabs, and two rows of skulls lined up on both sides of the road, with empty eye sockets facing the middle of the road, like devout believers welcoming the arrival of a great being.
Innelly whispered, "Being stared at by this pile of skeletons makes my scalp tingle. ”
Li Ang nodded and added, "There is an extremely depressing, crazy, and evil aura, but it also gives people a sense of sacredness. ”
"I think of the witches who were burned to death tied to the Martian pillar, and the people who cheered and applauded under the stands. ”
"It's a lot like it, but I feel more terrible. ”
He organized his words and expressed his feelings: "They seem to have volunteered themselves as a sacrifice, even if only the skulls remain, and they are still fanatically praising the evil gods." ”

Through this tunnel, they came to the next hall.
There were no more skinned corpses and skulls everywhere, and the entire hall was empty, except for a dozen or so Viking warriors kneeling on the ground, wearing horned helmets and half-leather armor.
They faced the wall, their bodies frozen hard, but their bare faces and skin had become shriveled and blackened by their proximity to the candelabra.
The wall is still a majestic fresco, this time, only slightly faded, and a majestic female deity dressed in silver can be clearly seen, pouring water from a clay pot on a white-robed priest kneeling below.
Leon asked, "What does it mean to pour water?"
The well-informed Innelli speculated, "Maybe it's a sign that the gods are giving them power, or maybe they're praising the gods for giving them water." ”
Li Ang carefully looked at the corpse and said in surprise: "Why is it that the power is still dying here." ”
They searched briefly, but still found nothing, and moved on.
The next section of the corridor was empty, with only two rows of braziers, and soon came to the next hall.
It was even more empty than the previous hall, except for a high circular podium on which sat a woman dressed in white.
The woman's body showed no signs of decomposition and was still lifelike.
Leon stared at her for a long time.
Innelly said, "Is it good-looking?"
Li Ang nodded: "It's really okay, but I always feel that this person seems to be a little familiar." ”
The woman's face was pale, but her lips were extremely ruddy, her eyes were slightly drooping, and she wore a golden crown, which was indeed extremely beautiful.
Hearing him say this, Innelli was about to start sarcastically, when she suddenly took a few steps forward, she looked at it for a moment, and said categorically: "She is the woman who held the clay pot to receive water from the evil god in the mural of the hall just now. ”
Li Ang suddenly said: "No wonder." She should be the priest or inheritor of the evil god, in short, she can appear on the mural, and her status among the evil god believers must be very high. ”
He also took a few steps forward, and suddenly found that the clothes between the two peaks of the female corpse stood out impressively, which seemed extremely discordant.
When she looked around the back, she found that there was a strange and evil magic sword piercing her back from behind, and the protruding piece should be the tip of the sword.
Its hilt is composed of two poisonous snakes connected end to end, and its whole body is black and purple, as if it is soaked in fierce venom, which is completely different from the painting style of the entire hall.
"This is a magic sword from the abyss. ”
Leon and Inelli could clearly sense the demonic aura contained in it, which was like a raging volcano.
"As you guessed, there are not only evil gods and demons here, but they are not colluding, and the demons are plotting to steal the power of the evil gods. ”
Li Ang said: "It seems that the demon should have used this magic sword to kill or seal the priest of the evil god. ”
Innelly said, "I don't think she's dead. ”
"Why do you say that?"
She said: "If she died, the demons would never let this magic sword stick into a corpse, I am inclined to believe that she was sealed by the magic sword, and once the magic sword is drawn, she will come back from the dead." ”
Li Ang suddenly said: "That's right, this magic sword can be seen at a glance that it contains good power, and its owner must value it quite a lot." ”
Ineri asked, "Then the choice now is simple, do you destroy the magic sword along with this female corpse, or continue to search for that potential demon?"
