Chapter 121: Mutation
After approaching the Deerfoot Fortress, Wind Tiger began to slow down and lead the group to walk slowly, and not long after, the Five Leaves team finally stood in front of the gate of the Deerfoot Fortress.
The fortress is distinctly temple-like, with towers and halls in the center and a rudimentary ring of high walls on the outside.
For this outpost, the most important thing is the Divine Fire Torch, and the role of the high wall is very limited.
At this time, there was silence in the fortress, as silent as death. Guo Xiaoshi checked it with the Eye of Thor, but found nothing, not even the subtle source energy fluctuations such as small insects and beasts, and the previous feeling of "being stared at" disappeared.
Standing in front of the gate and looking at it for a while, he couldn't see anything, Fenghu turned his head to Shen Guzhi and said, "Mentally retarded, put some eyes in and take a look." β
Shen Guzhi didn't say anything when he heard this, he directly touched a few handfuls on his body, and then blew on his mouth...... In an instant, many tiny flying insects flew up from his hands like black smoke, and flew quickly towards the fortress.
Guo Xiaoshi glanced at the tattoos on Shen Guzhi's body, it was a red butterfly before, and this time it was a flying insect, and now he understood a little, every tattoo on Shen Guzhi's body is an insect with a unique function, and each has its own usefulness.
After the flying insects entered the fortress for a while, Shen Guzhi said, "Boss, there's nothing in it. β
There was no fog around the fortress, and it seemed to be deliberately avoiding the area, which was very strange.
Fenghu pointed to the gate of the Deerfoot Fortress and said: "Since we have come here, no matter how we have to go in and have a look, otherwise it is too much to say, well, no matter what is inside, it will always come, even if we turn around and leave, it may not be safe." After a pause in his speech, Fenghu said again: "Be vigilant when you go in, don't touch things." β
"Yes!"
Everyone responded.
After deciding on the matter, Wind Tiger led everyone towards the fortress.
Walking into the gate of the fortress, there was nothing unusual, the surroundings were completely silent, there was nothing.
Everyone quickly walked along the high wall of the fortress, and then returned to the main entrance, and Fenghu groaned slightly, and said, "Next, we will go inside to have a look." β
Cheng Xuan interjected: "It's better to go directly to the tower, focus on the divine fire, and then slowly check other places." β
Lighting the Divine Fire Torch can make the entire fortress be protected by divine power, and it will obviously be safer to check the fortress at that time, and this is also the most critical item of this mission, killing two birds with one stone.
Fenghu thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, then we'll go up to the tower now." β
The tower was located in the middle of the entire fortress, and when you walked into it, there was only a huge lobby, and there were some sculptures and drawings around the hall, all of which were in praise of the three gods, although it could be seen that it was very simple, but it was rare to have such an arrangement in such an outpost.
Above the lobby is a huge, spicy dome with soaring side windows that allow you to see the sky outside.
Standing in the lobby, the dim light shrouded everything here, which seemed dead and strange, and only the light and shadow cast by those side windows were reflected on the wall, forming large spots of light, which seemed to add a little bit of life.
Along the way, there was nothing unusual, and everyone in the five-leaf team held their breath, not daring to make any sound, for fear of missing even the slightest movement around.
They clutched weapons in their hands, and at the same time quietly operated their source energy, ready to respond to all kinds of sudden changes.
The male priest glanced around, and soon stepped out of the crowd and walked to the middle of the hall.
I don't know what he did specifically, but soon from the top of the tower, a disc-shaped thing slowly descended, levitating in front of the male priest.
The thing was engraved with a dense array of inscriptions, apparently a brazier that was lit on fire.
When the brazier stopped, the male priest made a gesture of "holding" with both hands, and soon a little light appeared from between his hands, illuminating the entire hall.
Everyone looked at the light intently, and saw that it was a thing like a flame, very small, but it carried extremely powerful source energy fluctuations in it, as if every time the flame shook, there was a wave of ups and downs and fluctuations rushing in all directions.
"That's probably the tinder."
Guo Xiaoshi thought to himself, he could feel the divine power transmitted from the flames, although it was very subtle, but it seemed to be able to connect to some immense source.
That's when β
Transverse abruptness.
Under the male priest's feet, there was a sudden soft crisp sound.
Everyone in the five-leaf squad is extraordinary, even the three recruits without any experience are not ordinary people, and they reacted almost immediately.
"There are traps!"
Fenghu shouted, and he wanted to pull the male priest when he took a step.
However, it was too late.
At the feet of the male priest, the turtle shell-shaped Dao cracks were quickly listed, and from these cracks, a burst of black gas rose up like smoke very quickly, directly enveloping the male priest above.
Regardless of it, Wind Tiger's body suddenly resembled the so-called violent qi in those cartoons on the earth, and an extremely powerful source energy fluctuation bloomed in an instant, enveloping his entire body, directly reaching out to the black qi, grabbing the male priest, and pulling it out.
And thenβ
In the eyes of everyone, most of the male priest's body was pulled out, and what was shocking was that in just such an instant, the lower body of the male priest was gone.
"How so?"
Feng Hu's eyes also showed an unbelievable look of horror, you must know that the priest's robe on the male priest's body is protected by divine power, even if the five-star transcendent powerhouse wants to destroy it, it will take a lot of effort, and it will never be possible to do it in this short moment.
The next moment-
The male priest began to bleed, a large amount of blood, and the bright red liquid sprayed disorderly in all directions, but all of them were pulled by the black gas and splashed over.
"Hmm!"
The male priest groaned in pain, and then his gaze quickly swept towards everyone in the Five Leaves Squad, and finally locked on Guo Xiaoshi, only to see that his hand waved weakly, and the little fire in his hand had rushed to Guo Xiaoshi's face like a meteor flying away.
Guo Xiaoshi subconsciously caught the fire.
The fire made him feel warm for the first time, and the divine power in it was so warm that his heart trembled slightly.
This is the "demagogic" effect of Kamui.
Guo Xiaoshi had seen such divine power fluctuations in Qingwen's body before, it seemed that it could cleanse people's hearts and lead people to goodness, but it was actually a necessary means for the temple to gain believers, so he quickly stabilized his mind, held the fire in his hand, and then looked up at the male priest.
At this time, the male priest couldn't say anything, just glanced at Guo Xiaoshi, and immediately fainted.
