Chapter 44: Beyond the Shrine
Liu Minghao's shoulders slumped slightly, standing motionless, his chest rising and falling rapidly, his eyes were full of red blood, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a few minutes, the heavy wheezing gradually subsided, Liu Minghao blinked slightly, and his blurred vision became clear.
There were still bursts of throbbing pain in his brain, and he raised his hand to press his temples hard, Liu Minghao took a breath gently, waiting for the pain to slowly subside, and then walked to the young man's body.
The young man's body was twisted and lying on the ground, his eyes staring straight up, with a look of disbelief on his face, he didn't understand until he died, why there was a mistake in Liu Minghao's body, which should have been a foolproof killer feature.
This can only be said to be a matter of luck.
When Liu Minghao fought against the sand monster before, because of the two activation of the freezing technique, the spiritual value was greatly consumed, and it had dropped to ten points.
As a result, his mental value is far below the minimum amount of the attack, causing the opponent's killer weapon to not have the desired effect.
Liu Minghao's mind was extremely tenacious, and in the midst of severe pain, he tried his best to stay awake, and at the last moment, he suddenly counterattacked, fought desperately, and killed the enemy.
In battle, strength is just as important as luck, and this principle is equally true in any field.
Liu Minghao's strength far surpassed that of the enemy, if it wasn't for the fact that he had consumed a lot of spiritual points in the previous battle, even if he could successfully crack the illusion this time, he would not be able to escape the young man's killer.
To win the final victory, the next step is naturally to collect the loot, Liu Minghao simply tapped the items scattered around the man, in addition to some potions to restore the state, there are also three skill scrolls that emit white light.
"Elementary Tracking Scroll. Basic spells from the Mystic Elven Kingdom that can easily track down your enemies in the jungle. The learning requirements are 10 HP, 5 Resistance, and 10 Spirit. To activate a skill, you need to consume 1 spirit point. Tracking lasts for 6 hours. ”
"Elementary Illusion (Advanced). A lost tome from the Domestic Mage Tower, a compulsory course for magicians. Learning requirements, 20 HP, 10 Resistance, and 15 Spirit. ”
"Intermediate Spiritual Skill Scroll. An attack spell from the forces of evil capable of destroying even the most powerful elven warriors once and for all. Learning requirements, 20 HP, 15 Resistance, and 25 Spirit. Activating skills consumes 5 spirit points. ”
In addition to this, there are several props, an invisibility charm that is still cooling down after use, a wooden magic staff from Hogwarts, and a small bag.
In the bag, Liu Minghao found five or six green crystals, and the system prompted the core of the wood, using the method to throw, there is a certain chance to trigger the winding technique, which can limit the target's action for 15 minutes.
The most rare thing is that among these items, there is a transparent glass bottle that emits green light, Liu Minghao picked it up, and a line of prompts immediately appeared in front of him.
"Liquid of Life (Defective Product) X1. The essence extracted by the alchemist from the leaves of the tree of life can calm the wounded mind and bring peace and tranquility to the person. After drinking, it can restore 5 energy points. ”
When you open the cork, you can smell the rich smell of leaves, as if you are in a bamboo forest after a rain.
With this bottle of life liquid, Liu Minghao's spiritual value immediately rose to 15 points, meeting the requirements for learning illusions.
At this time, another five minutes passed, Liu Minghao didn't delay any longer, his right hand touched the scroll, and two rays of light lit up one after another, mastering the primary illusion and tracking technique, and left the room quickly.
At this time, he was still on the periphery of the temple, Liu Minghao passed through an arch and entered a wide corridor, looking for everyone all the way, and walked towards the depths of the temple.
……
In the depths of the temple, the place where the goddess of life sleeps.
Painted with delicate patterns, the gate inlaid with gold crystal and jade is tightly closed, and in the center of the gate, the complex formation exudes a soft golden light, and the water flows slowly like waves.
The white-haired man stood in front of the formation, holding a cyan magatama in his hand, surrounded by a soft silver light, one gold and one silver two brilliances constantly converged and merged, as his lips continued to open and close, the silver light was gradually assimilated and integrated into his body, and the cyan magatama gradually glowed with golden light.
On the floor behind him, Adesbell's right arm twisted in an extremely strange position, lying motionless on the ground, life and death unknown.
Time passed quickly, and two-thirds of the cyan magatama in the white-haired man's hand had turned a faint gold, and at this moment, Adesbe's eyelids suddenly trembled slightly, and his body trembled almost imperceptibly, and then the fingers of his left hand spread out beside him curled up slightly very slowly.
The white-haired man naturally didn't pay attention to this small change, at this time all his mind was condensed on the formation in front of him, the magatama in his hand has a peculiar effect, which can be simulated and transformed into any kind of energy, and when the cyan of the magatama completely recedes, the energy in it will be completely transformed into life force, and the first seal on the door will be lifted, and then as long as the blood of Adesbay is used, the gate can be opened smoothly and enter the shrine.
Soon, the last trace of cyan on Magatama was engulfed in gold, and the white-haired man raised his head, held Magatama in both hands, raised it high above his head, and urged Magatama with all his might, and a faint dragon-shaped golden light rose from it, shaking his head and tail, flying towards the gate, merging into the glowing seal without hindrance.
After a while, the soft golden light suddenly soared, and a series of complicated pictures and texts slowly emerged, rotating rapidly, gradually enveloping the entire space, with an invisible roaring sound, the dazzling golden light was immediately released, and gradually returned to calm.
The light dissipated, the formation above the gate changed, and all the original gold and stone jewels disappeared, and only a statue of the goddess with a soft light floated on it.
The goddess of life holds the scepter in one hand and lowers the other hand, as if she is being worshipped by her followers.
The white-haired man took a step back, a hint of pride flashed across his face, the first step had been successfully completed, and now all he needed was Adesberg's blood, and he was able to open the gate and enter the shrine.
Just as he put away Magatama and turned to walk towards Adesbay, the white-haired man suddenly let out a soft sigh, stopped, frowned slightly, and his face quickly became gloomy.
"This shit." The white-haired man cursed and immediately walked quickly towards Adesbay.
Naturally, he received a prompt from the system, and learned that the young man had died, and the two were originally a combination of interests, and the white-haired man didn't care about the other party's life or death at all, which could make him change color suddenly, but because he realized that the situation had changed, he had to take action immediately, so as not to change later.
The plan was disrupted one after another, and the white-haired man's heart was churning with anger, and he gritted his teeth more and more at the thought that the young man's death would greatly increase the difficulty of his next task.
At this time, outside the shrine, there were only him and the unthreatening Adesbay, although the white-haired man was very careful, he was inevitably a little distracted, and he did not notice that Adesbay's lying posture had changed significantly.
Just as the white-haired man's fingers touched Adesbell's neckline, his body suddenly stiffened slightly, and then he suddenly leaned back and bounced out.
Almost at the same moment, Adesbay held a small crossbow in his left hand, which was raised like lightning, and as the bowstring vibrate, three streamers flashed through the air and shot towards the white-haired man.
The white-haired man twisted his body in the air, rolled to the ground in a slightly embarrassed way, and then lunged to the side, narrowly avoiding three streamers.
The cold light brushed his ears, and the wall made a clanging sound, and it was three diamond-shaped hidden weapons with a faint blue luster.
Adesbay threw away the bow and crossbow in his hand, wiped the blood from his face with the back of his hand, and slowly got up.
"You killed Elder Els." Adesbay's gaze moved over the white-haired man's face, and finally stopped in front of his forehead, his voice low with undisguised murderous intent.
As his words came out, a strange rune flashing with blood light slowly appeared on Adesbe's forehead, and at the same time, several blood splatters gradually appeared on the white-haired man's face.
This is a secret method passed down by the Guardian clan for thousands of years, and when Adesbay saw Els's corpse, he realized that this was the guidance given to him by the Great Elder, and with the mysterious power contained in his blood, he was able to find his murderer.
Adesbay had been separated from the crowd before, and had just struggled to get out of the illusion when he was attacked by a stormy attack by a white-haired man.
The white-haired man's strength seemed to have a strong suppressive effect on him, and Adesbay was almost powerless to fight back, so he became a prisoner.
The white-haired man's purpose was very obvious, and he was needed to open the seal outside the shrine, so he only beat him to serious injury, and did not hurt the killer.
Raising his hand to brush his cheek, the white-haired man saw the blood on his hands, and immediately realized something, and snorted coldly, "That old guy is pretending to be dead, you will also pretend to be dead, the guardian clan is really cunning." ”
Adesbay's pupils shrank, anger rose in his eyes, his right hand raised slightly, and he swiped quickly in the void, and as his fingertips danced, a blood-colored rune appeared in mid-air.
Seeing that the runes were gradually forming, faintly exuding an extremely terrifying coercion, the white-haired man wanted to get close to interrupt several times, but he was shocked and opened.
With the last stroke of his index finger, Adesbay let out a sharp exhale, and the blood-colored rune suddenly lit up, spun rapidly and gradually shrinking, and finally disappeared into his forehead.
As the runes entered his body, a clear mark appeared on the back of Adesbe's hand, and large red lines extended from his neck and spread across his face, and his eyes were as red as blood, like a demon returning from the netherworld, with an indescribable hideous feeling.
The white-haired man's brows furrowed, and he looked at Adesbell, who was slowly approaching him, like a demon god, and his face was gloomy and watery.
