Chapter 667, Skeleton Messenger

With two guys leading the way, we finally decided on the direction we were heading. After almost 3 hours of walking, we reached the bottom of a small mountain far from Mount Everest.

You know, the entire Himalayas are very huge, and what kind of secrets are hidden in them, no scientist or country has yet completely figured it out.

One thing is for sure, though, I'm going to find something to eat first.

At this time, the altitude is definitely still above 5000 meters, there are no animals nearby, and there is nothing to eat on the two guys, my hungry stomach is growling, if I continue to be so hungry, I guess I will really unload the arm of one of these two goods and swallow it raw.

"Behind this mountain peak is the hidden branch of our Snow Mountain God Cult, there is an internal passage in the branch, which leads directly to the headquarters, and the headquarters is a huge mountain hidden behind Mount Everest, and even people with spiritual consciousness can't see it."

As one of the fellows spoke, he put his hand into the nearby snow, fumbled for a while, and after a while, pulled out of it a long iron chain, which was very thick, about the size of my two arms combined.

The two men grabbed the chain and pulled it hard, and I heard the sound of gears rolling, followed by the whole small mountain swaying slightly, which startled me, and I thought that there was another avalanche or something.

The gears snapped, and a gap slowly opened under the hill, revealing a crystal gate that was as smooth as a mirror, and I could even see my face from above.

The crystal door opened little by little, revealing a stone staircase leading to the top.

"Walking up the stone steps is our branch, there are a total of thirty disciples in the branch, and there is a leader, and some people who have been captured from the Everest base camp are also imprisoned here, and many are Westerners."

I nodded, and slowly walked up the ∵ corridor with people, but it was a very heartwarming thing to be able to see the lights on the top, and to be able to see the lights in the snowy mountains.

Even if I knew, there was a group of people at the top who would want to kill me when they saw me.

"Why is it so quiet today?"

I suddenly heard the guy behind me say strangely, I was stunned, looked at him and asked, "Is it usually very lively?" ”

The two guys nodded at the same time, and one of them rushed to say: "The leader of our branch is not bad, so the branch is still quite lively, and because we are not far from the Everest base camp, we can also get in touch with new things outside, and everyone will sometimes drink a little wine, or even listen to songs or something." But it's too quiet today. ”

As he spoke, he exhaled white air, which seemed to be very cold here, and another guy also interjected: "It's not usually so cold, and the branch has a very advanced heating function, which is the heat energy obtained after the snow water evaporates." Usually when we enter the crystal gate, we only need to wear a sweater, why is it so cold today? ”

The words of the two people made me feel that something was wrong, and I hurriedly accelerated the speed of going upstairs, but because I was really hungry, it turned out to be an acceleration, but the movement of going upstairs was still very slow.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the moment we reached the top, we saw a shocking scene! On the top floor of the entire branch, nearly thirty people were all dead, blood spilling on the ground, and all of them had turned into red ice.

And, not only that, there was food, drinks, and even a radio with music playing in the corner.

The two people behind were taken aback and hurriedly rushed over.

"Chief, everyone, all dead, all dead......"

The two of them looked at the dead bodies around them, and they were frightened at once, and when they spoke, their tongues were trembling, and one of them even lay on the ground, trembling and unable to speak.

I walked to the edge of the dining table and first observed the dozens of dead bodies, they were cold all over, and I couldn't determine the time of death, but they should not be poisoned, because from the complexion and the overall body, there was no phenomenon after poisoning.

There was an obvious scar on everyone's body, but it was not fatal, I can't say, this scar was on the necks of all the deceased, I looked at the wound, it was very shallow and not deep, it should have been caused by a kind of software, or something like a dagger.

As I examined the corpse, I scooped up the uneaten food on the table, bread and turkey, all of which were hard but delicious to me when I was hungry.

After filling my stomach, I touched the food scraps on my mouth and asked, "Didn't you say that you still hold some prisoners?" Take me to see it. ”

As soon as I said this, the two Cultists looked at each other, and then immediately rushed to the back of the house with me, bypassing the short corridor, and after descending two stone steps, I stood in the detention area of the Cult of the Snow Mountain, which was not a big place, and to my surprise, all the people inside were dead.

I was just surprised that there were still Templar people imprisoned here, but I didn't see Harvey, the leader of the Templar Order, and the others were also pulled out of their necks with a long bloody wound, and none of them survived.

I wondered who did it, near the dining table upstairs, I didn't see any traces of a fight, either someone I knew, or the murderer was moving too fast.

But why did he kill the people of the Snow Mountain Divine Sect, and why did he come to kill these people who were imprisoned downstairs? For a while, the identity of this murderer became a mysterious person in my heart.

"Are you holding this Templar Order here?"

I grabbed the frightened cultist behind me and pulled him to my side and asked.

"Yes, yes, oh my God, they're all dead!"

He replied tremblingly.

"What about Harvey? He was the head of the Knights Templar. ”

I'm concerned about Xavi's whereabouts, because if he escapes, it means that I have a chance to know who did it.

"I don't know, he's been imprisoned here before, and he looks a little delirious......"

Just as the cultists were talking, there was a scream from outside the door on the other side, this scream was the scream of an adult man, very clear, and then I heard something fall on the door, and there was a loud bang!

I pulled my legs and ran wildly, and when I rushed to the opposite door, I split the lock with my sword, and the moment I opened the door, the body of a man rolled from the stone steps to my feet, there was still a wound on his neck, his face was full of panic, he was still wearing silver armor, and his golden hair was stained with blood, it was Harvey!

He was lying in front of me, and even the long sword in his hand was broken in two, and the wind and snow blew in outside, and the wind carried white snowflakes on my face.

I looked up and saw a long corridor ahead, but it was clean, and there was a man standing in the hallway, with medium length black hair, wearing a terrible skull mask, wearing a black leather coat, holding two jet-black daggers in his hands, and the snowflakes were falling on him, but he was quietly looking at me, and through the eyes behind the skull mask, I seemed to feel an astonishing killing intent.

"Who are you!"

I asked loudly, but he didn't speak, his body ran backwards, I wanted to catch up, but he ran wildly, and turned his head to recite a spell, the ground under my feet immediately shook, I was unstable for a while, I took several steps back, and when I looked up again, this mysterious killer was gone!

"The spell of the Five Elements Sect, the technique of moving mountains in the veins of the earth, how could the people of the Five Elements Sect be here, and they have killed so many people!"

I was stunned in my heart, but I wasn't sure, after all, many laymen would know some of the spells of the Five Elements Sect, so I couldn't be sure yet. It's just that this guy looks murderous, and he is obviously very familiar with the terrain here, and I have also noticed the two daggers in his hand, which definitely have a background, and the shape is strange, and the snowflakes will slide over the blade of the dagger when they fall on it, which shows that the sharpness of the two daggers has reached a very terrifying level.

"Yes, it's the skeleton messenger sent by the Sect Master, oh my God, it's the headquarters who wants to kill us! Why? Are we doing something wrong? ”

Just when I was full of doubts, I heard the Divine Cult behind me say such things in a very desperate tone.

I turned my head, frowned, and asked, "That killer was sent by your headquarters just now?" ”

The two Divine Cultists nodded at the same time, and one of them spoke: "There is a secret unit within our Snow Mountain Divine Sect, called the Skeleton Team, which specializes in executing people ordered by the Sect Master to kill, and also completing assassination tasks. They are cold-blooded and ruthless, and they are so skilled that no one has ever seen their faces, and they wear masks when they kill. ”

Hearing this, I asked rhetorically, "But the skull mask is not difficult to buy, how can you be sure that it is the so-called skeleton messenger?" ”

Another person pointed to the gate beside me, and as soon as I looked up, there was a pattern carved on it with a dagger, which looked like a huge mountain.

"This is the symbol of our Snow Mountain Divine Cult, and after the skeleton messenger kills someone, he will leave such a mark."

Hearing this, I slowly turned my head and looked at the snowy sky outside, and I vaguely felt that there was a bigger crisis waiting for me on this trip to Phoenix.
