The passage to the depths of the temple was damp and dark, the disgusting smell was getting stronger, the temple was intricately built, and the guards patrolled the way, clearly acclimated to the environment compared to us unknown monsters.

Their body structure has a unique advantage in the dark temple, Ye Zhiqiu said If I am not mistaken, the Praetorian guards have compound eyes, their vision range and acuity are more than ten times higher than ours, and the darker the light, the more beneficial it is for them.

At the end of the passage was a huge dim stone chamber, which was also the source of the foul smell, and with every step I felt that my feet had to be lifted with great strength, and the ground was full of white viscous liquid, and in the dim light of the fire I could faintly hear the faint moans of pain and weakness.

Syllable......

Ye Zhiqiu mentioned something in front, and the slight impact sound woke up in the dead stone room, and we all stopped vigilantly, and soon heard a rapid sound from all directions.

The pheasant pushed us into the corner, where there was a towering thing just enough to hide, and by the time we had just taken cover, the sound from outside had reached the stone chamber, and I heard a very undulating sound, but not like footsteps, and cautiously poked my head out, and was once again startled like a carved clay sculpture.

This stone chamber is the same as the previous sacrificial chamber, there is a passage on each side, and now the guards who appear in the room are actually suspended in mid-air, and the wings spread out from behind can make them fly like butterflies, and the dark and terrifying eyes are constantly blinking, flying around the stone room and scanning any corner.

Ye Zhiqiu beside me was frightened, subconsciously covered her mouth, and the others slowly shrank down, until they completely avoided the darkness, we happened to be the dead end of the stone room here, I watched several guards fly back and forth above my head, the bronze armor on their bodies shone with a strange green light in the firelight, and the strong arms of the humanoid body clenched the sword and axe, looking like a yaksha patrolling the underworld.

Wen Ru said that any myth has a root, and the butterflies in the mythology of the Jiuli tribe have an extraordinary status, presumably these guards who walk through the temple and guard the place like sentinels are the source of this myth.

We were almost holding our breath, I could even hear my own heartbeat, and the guards returned to the center from the corners of the stone chamber after inspecting the stone chamber without seeing anything unusual, and I quietly stuck my head out again, and the guards seemed to be talking to each other, but I couldn't hear them.

Several more guards flew in from the passage opposite us, their hands twisting the person who had been taken away before, I recognized it at a glance as Liao Kai, who was thrown heavily on the ground, screaming in horror, and with Liao Kai there were several other people with scars.

They flinched back in complete horror, the guards staring at them condescendingly, their fearsome faces showing no mercy, and one of the guards lit the fire trough in the stone chamber, and as the light of the fire spread we finally saw everything in the stone chamber.

Ye Zhiqiu's body trembled so much, even a person like the general who was not afraid of life and death was now pale, the entire huge stone room was originally empty, and there was nothing to separate in the corner where we were hiding now, but countless mountains of corpses were piled up here like garbage.

In front of us were piles of bones, discarded together like a grave, and the ribs on the chest of each corpse were broken from the inside out, and this was not what scared us the most, and no one around me would be afraid of the dead, let alone a pile of dry bones.

The floor of the stone house was full of oval-shaped white eggs evenly spaced, the same eggs we had seen in the sacrificial chamber before, not one or two, but a whole room, each alive, and in the firelight we could clearly see the worms wriggling with each other.

There was a white viscous liquid secreted from the egg hole, and the whole stone chamber was covered with such liquid, and I turned my head tremblingly, and there was a place close behind us, full of such eggs, we had seen the weirdness and horror of this thing, just two hatched eggs were enough to wipe us out, and now we were hiding in the nest of insects.

On the mural before entering the temple, so many people came to worship, but only the priest left, presumably the other people are here now, this is not the sacrifice I know at all, it is completely a bloody slaughter, we have sacrificed twice before we went to the temple, judging from these bones, the people who are sent here to sacrifice each time are probably tens of thousands.

This temple is full of evil and much more than that, Liao Kai and the others who were thrown on the ground wanted to dodge, leaned against the piled bones, the wreckage that fell from it was like rain, Liao Kai and they panicked and wanted to climb out of it, just struggled to stand up, the condescending guards raised their bronze halberds and pierced Liao Kai's shoulder blades, I heard his heart-rending screams.

Liao Kai and the others were brutally nailed to the stone wall, and the mouthparts coiled on the jaws of the guards unfolded, squirting white mucus from it like vomit, these translucent mucus seemed to have strong adhesion, spraying Liao Kai and them were stuck to the stone wall.

Only then did we see that the wide stone wall was already covered with people, and the scars were among them, all of them dying with their heads bowed, and we didn't know what had happened to them, and we wondered why the guards were doing this.

Just as we hesitated, we suddenly heard the sluggish Scar suddenly wake up in the mucus, and let out a wail that was worse than death, but no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't move, and several people next to Scar also moaned loudly in pain one after another, looking at their expressions of unusually painful.

Scar even kept slamming the back of his head against the stone wall, it seemed that he would rather kill himself than bear this pain again, but the thick mucus on the stone wall didn't know how many people had been adhered to, and the layers were stacked to form uneven ravines, which were soft and weak when hit on them.

The guards flying in the stone chamber, their dark compound eyes revealing indifferent coldness, stared at the people struggling in pain on the stone wall.

Click!

I heard the sound of bones shattering, and then I was shocked to see a triangular cone head covered in blood and guttal remains pierce through a man's chest, and then a smaller Praetorian Guard crawled out of the man's body, and the man was still breathing and spurting blood from his mouth, and the pain he was suffering is understandable.

Short screams came from the side of the stone wall one after another, Scar and the ribs on the chests of several people were broken alive, and the young butterfly-faced guards crawled out of their bodies, I kept covering Ye Zhiqiu's mouth hard, and now even her eyes were covered, I wasn't sure if she could bear such blood and fear.

We finally understood how the ribs on the chests of the corpses were broken, and it was clear that the guards in the temple were hatched by the living, and we watched as the guards crawled out naked, quickly devouring the undead to a bloody skeleton.

Scar and the dead people fell from the stone wall, mixed with the mountains of dry bones, I squirmed my Adam's apple, and subconsciously looked at the dense bones around me, how many killings had been experienced in this stone chamber, and I could see at a glance the corpses.

The newly hatched butterfly-faced guards were taken away by the flying guards, and the only moans of pain and weakness were left in the stone chamber, and we carefully walked through the wriggling eggs to the bottom of the stone wall, and the general said that we would find a way to save the others.

But the slime is incredibly strong, and we can't pull it anymore.

"No...... No need. Liao Kai opened his eyes weakly. Help...... Do me a favor. ”

"Don't talk yet." Tian Ji lowered his voice while pulling hard. "Provoke those monsters, and no one will survive."

"No...... Don't save me. Liao Kai shook his head with the last of his strength. You have no idea what's going on...... Ah......h

Liao Kai suddenly began to moan in pain in the middle of speaking, and we clearly saw something swimming in his body, and Tian Ji took a step back in shock.

"Kill...... Kill me......" Liao Kai gasped and said weakly with all his might. "Help me, give me a ...... Be happy, beg for ...... Yes! ”

Liao Kai's moans became more and more painful, the wriggling things in his body moved more and more, as if they were about to burst out of his chest, we couldn't understand his pain, after all, it was hard to imagine what it would be like to have a bloodthirsty and brutal monster in his body, I glanced back at the scar and the bloody bones of others in the pile of bones.

"Give me the knife." I turned to look at the general.

Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, I can't save Liao Kai, but killing him now may be the most merciful relief for him, the general took a deep breath and handed me the knife, the tip of the knife was against Liao Kai's chest, he couldn't see fear on his face, and nodded to me with gratitude in his eyes.

"Close your eyes." I said to Liao Kai.

When Liao Kai closed his eyes satisfied, I stabbed the knife into his chest, his whole person convulsed, blood gushed out from the corners of his mouth, the pain on his face was slowly stretching, and the things squirming in his body slowly stopped moving, Liao Kai's expression before death was as relaxed as relief.

"What now?" Tian Ji asked worriedly.

"Pack up the gear these people are carrying." There were scars on the ground and guns, ammunition and backpacks dropped by others. "It doesn't matter if you can't get out, you can't stay in this temple."

"You...... What do you want? Wen Ru asked in surprise behind him.

"Don't you want to see who is enshrined in this temple?" I wiped the blood from the knife on my body, glanced back at Wen Ru, and replied coldly. "No matter what it is, these things shouldn't exist in the world, even if it's really a god, I'm going to slaughter a god!"
