Chapter 124: The Temple of the Saints
After entering the cave, Ye Xue took out a few pills of the Demon Pill and distributed them to everyone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Jiang Jie, who was standing at the entrance, raised his eyebrows slightly, he was a dark attribute, and ordinary undead qi could not harm him at all, and he had quite doubts about Ye Xue, and he was about to refuse, but when he saw Liu Minghao put the pill in his mouth without hesitation, he couldn't help but open his mouth, snorted slightly, and didn't say much, took the pill and stuffed it into his pocket.
Until now, he couldn't figure out whether Liu Minghao knew what he wanted, or if he was simply confused by beauty, of course, with Jiang Jie's understanding of him, the answer was obviously the former, so he endured the doubts in his stomach again and again.
The group walked along the cave into the belly of the mountain, and soon came to an even more empty cave, where they were immediately attacked by the first wave of undead.
With a creepy sound, dozens of undead skeletons poured into the cavern and lunged towards the crowd.
The strength of these undead skeletons is not strong, it is a few points weaker than the skeleton soldiers encountered in the mummy world, although there are many of them, but they are not difficult to deal with, even short men can easily deal with them, the holy light sword in Liu Minghao's hand is their nemesis, a sword light will pass, the skeleton soldiers will let out a sharp whistling sound, like a puppet that has lost its support and collapsed to the ground.
Several people joined forces, chopping melons and chopping vegetables, and quickly wiped out all enemies.
"This way." A cold light flashed, and the last undead skeleton fell to the ground, and Ye Xue raised her hand slightly, let out a low cry, and took the lead in running towards the middle passage.
The crowd followed and entered the passageway.
As Ye Xue said, the number of undead creatures here is extremely large, like the waves of the sea, as they continue to go deeper, the strength of the undead skeletons has gradually increased, but everyone has not encountered too difficult enemies, with Liu Minghao's holy light bonus, it is quite easy to deal with.
Rushing all the way, everyone passed through a low tunnel and entered a smooth corridor, the ground was gray-white marble, and there was a pattern composed of pure white strips of stone in the middle, which had been damaged in many places, as if something had deliberately destroyed it.
Although Liu Minghao's understanding of mantras was far inferior to Jiang Jie's, he could still see that the original patterns on the ground were not meaningless decorations, but seemed to be some kind of scriptures.
"Praise to the saints." Jiang Jie rushed to Liu Minghao's side, stopped, his gaze quickly swept over the ground, and whispered without surprise.
Usually in the place where a certain evil spirit is suppressed, there will be corresponding rune decorations on the surrounding buildings, of course, the effect is not for aesthetics, but through this method, to enhance the strength of the suppression formation, to increase the effect of energy.
"After this level, it should be the Temple of Saints." Jiang Jie said and looked up, at the end of the corridor was a tall arch, and on the closed door was a portrait of a saint in a white robe, holding a golden light cluster upwards with both hands.
Before Jiang Jie's words fell, a chaotic sound came, and dozens of undead skeletons poured out of the passages on both sides of the corridor.
The undead skeletons that appeared this time looked somewhat different from just now, wearing armor glowing with black glow, and their strength had increased significantly, and the leader of them was infinitely close to the skeleton warriors, but for the current Liu Minghao, it could no longer pose any threat.
The light of the Holy Light Saber flickered, and a bolt of lightning slashed through the air without hindrance, cutting into the skeleton warrior's chest without hindrance, and in a hair-making sound, the black light around the skeleton warrior instantly disappeared, turning into a pile of lifeless white bones, and the helmeted skull fell to the ground, rolling to the side.
After the skeleton warriors were eliminated and the remaining undead were quickly wiped out by everyone, Yexue walked quickly to the closed arch and took out the key to open the door.
At this time, the ball held in her hand had changed, the original black surface had become silvery-white, covered with leaf-like patterns, the light flickered, faintly glowing with blue glow, and the whole body exuded a silver-white light, which looked extremely mysterious.
As Yexue chanted the incantation in a low voice, the ball slowly levitated, and the silver-white light gradually increased, and at the same time, the golden light in the hands of the saint on the gate suddenly bloomed, instantly enveloping the silver ball, and the two rays of light staggered and brightened, and soon merged into one.
As the light surged, there was a faint roar from the depths of the earth, and the corridor trembled slightly, and with an invisible energy fluctuation, the dazzling light instantly spread.
The dazzling light dissipated, the towering gate was gone, and a solemn hall appeared before everyone's eyes.
Through the open door, the inside of the hall could be seen empty, and at the end of the altar, a golden disc was placed, and a golden heart was suspended on it.
"The heart of a saint."
Jiang Jie's eyes lit up, and he immediately dragged Liu Minghao and was about to enter the main hall.
"Wait a minute." Ye Xue took a step forward and stretched out her hand to block Jiang Jie's way.
"What do you have to say?" Jiang Jie paused, and looked at Ye Xue with displeasure, with an undisguised look of doubt in his eyes.
"Can't get in." Ye Xue looked directly at Jiang Jie without showing weakness, suppressed her anger and said coldly, "If you enter directly, you will immediately alarm the spirit of the Demon King, without any preparation, we won't even have a chance to make a move." ”
Jiang Jie's eyebrows were raised half a day high, obviously not believing Ye Xue's words, the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking arc, and sneered, "It's all you saying, do you still want to say, we must listen to you, otherwise there will only be a dead end." ”
Ye Xue glanced at Jiang Jie coldly, and turned her gaze to Liu Minghao, "The spirit of the Demon King is not something we can fight against at all, we must not rush to alarm it, we must find a way to weaken its power, otherwise we don't want to leave alive." ”
Jiang Jie was about to speak, but was interrupted by Liu Minghao's words, "Do you have a way?" ”
"You believe her nonsense?" Jiang Jie immediately looked at Liu Minghao with wide eyes, almost wanting to reach out and touch his head to see if he was confused by some spell.
Liu Minghao ignored Jiang Jie's questioning, and looked at Ye Xue expressionlessly, waiting for her answer.
Ye Xueliu frowned slightly, paused slightly, took a step back, got out of the way, and said, "I have a way, but I need your cooperation." ”
"Let's talk about it." Liu Minghao was noncommittal and said in a deep voice.
"In the temple, there are four separate rooms, two of which are connected to the outside world, we can sneak into them, arrange formations, temporarily seal the temple, and isolate the perception of the demon king's spirit." Ye Xue said without hesitation, "If it goes well, I am sure that if it goes well, I can weaken the strength of the Demon King's Spirit by more than eighty percent." ”“
"Ha, more than eighty." Jiang Jie snorted, "You just said that as long as you beckon, the spirit of the Demon King will obediently crawl over and let you slaughter it." ”
"I believe in you." Liu Minghao looked at Jiang Jie and motioned for him to be calm, "What should we do?" ”
Ye Xue seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but a complex emotion flashed in her eyes very quickly, and she glanced at Liu Minghao deeply, "We have to act separately." ”
Five minutes later, Ye Xue explained in detail the specific steps of action, with her and Liu Minghao in charge of the more difficult west side annex, and Jiang Jie and the three of them in charge of the relatively simple east side room.
"In the end, it's up to me to activate the formation and awaken the demon spirit." After Ye Xue finished assigning the task, he said solemnly, "No one should leave the other room until I give the signal." ”
"Destroy the spirit of the demon king and get the heart of the saints, how can you open the Salvation Church?" Liu Minghao was silent for a moment and looked at Ye Xue.
"The Church of Redemption and the Temple of Saints are actually two sides of the same coin." Ye Xue said very simply, "The two are in different spatial dimensions, and the heart of the saint is the key to the transformation of the two, as long as the spirit of the demon king is eliminated, the saint temple will lose its meaning of existence and will automatically be replaced by the salvation church." ”
"Without further ado, let's get to the ground running." Liu Minghao looked at the watch on his wrist.
The operation went exceptionally smoothly, less than two hours had passed, but usually in such cases, unforeseen accidents would occur, and the best way to avoid unforeseen complications was to seize the time and complete the task as soon as possible.
……
Liu Minghao followed Yexue out of the corridor and along the passage on the left side to a side hall.
According to Yexue's previous explanation, there is a saint's seal in the side hall on the east side, and as long as you hold the saint's badge, you can easily break it; In the side hall on the west side, there are high-level undead warriors stationed there, and they need to be able to resist the force to be able to solve the obstacles.
"The formation inside will provide an endless stream of power to the undead warriors, so it's best for us to use both sides of the equation to break the formation as soon as possible while dealing with the enemy." Yexue stopped and looked at Liu Minghao.
"I'll take care of holding it down." Liu Minghao nodded slightly, and said without hesitation, "Try to solve it as quickly as possible." ”
"...... you" Ye Xueliu frowned slightly, looking at Liu Minghao and stopping to speak, with a complicated expression.
After getting out of the underground base, Yexue has been waiting for Liu Minghao to make trouble, she has prepared a sufficient reason to persuade the other party to continue to cooperate, after all, without Liu Minghao and the two, they will not be able to find the location of the saint temple at all, then all the efforts she has made before will be in vain, not to mention the spirit of the demon king.
However, Ye Xue made all kinds of assumptions in her heart, but she didn't expect Liu Minghao to be silent at all, and she didn't even mention it, even if Jiang Jie showed hostility many times, he still had no doubt about her, not only followed the advice to enter the Valley of Atonement from the side, but also faced the heart of the saint in front of him, and did not hesitate to act separately according to her plan, the motive behind this was really incomprehensible to her.
Yexue is not an inexperienced girl, past experience tells her that the more such an angry opponent, the more difficult it is to guess, seeing that she is gradually approaching the final goal, the more bottomless she is in her heart, and she doesn't know what kind of tricks Liu Minghao will hide waiting for her.
