Chapter 49: The Forbidden Land

The deal was made, and the white-haired man didn't say much, informing Hoppt of his plan and handing him the props he needed, watching Hoptune's figure disappear into the shadows, a mocking smile appeared on his originally calm face. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The pill he handed over to Hopt was a reward for a mission, this pill is similar to a stimulant, which can stimulate people's potential and create the illusion of strength improvement, but it has extremely strong side effects, although it can quickly enhance cell vitality in a short period of time, but it will cause irreversible damage to the body.

But by that time, he had already completed his mission and left, and he didn't need to care about the ending of a plot character.

Hoppt naturally did not know that he had fallen into a terrible situation, so he returned to the station with a heavy heart, carefully avoiding the eyes of the others, and returned to his tent, and as soon as he was seated, a member of his clan hurriedly walked in.

"Master Hopper." Dressed in a grey cloth robe with some bone knuckles around his waist, this man was the apprentice of the clan who served the high priest, and said in a low voice, "High priest, please hurry over." ”

Hoppt's eyes flashed slightly, and he subconsciously touched the bag around his waist, nodded slightly, and followed the apprentice out of the tent without saying a word, and walked towards the depths of the station.

After Ells was arrested, the high priest never showed up, and Hopt was naturally reluctant to turn around in front of the shrewd high priest because he had a ghost in his heart, so he was afraid of revealing his flaws.

At this time, because he accepted the white-haired man's deal, he was worried that he had no proper excuse to go to the high priest, but he didn't expect the opportunity to send himself to the door.

The High Priest had a special status, and his residence was in an extremely secluded area deep in the station, which was also classified as a forbidden place, and no one was allowed to trespass except for Adesbay and Els and a few priest apprentices.

Even Hopt did not dare to approach the High Priest's residence without permission, and with the fact that Elder Els had been arrested, this was the fourth time in his life that he had stepped into this forbidden land.

Passing through a dense bush to the tent where the high priest lived, the apprentice did not stop, but turned to the left and walked deeper along a path outside the tent.

With a hint of surprise in his eyes, Hopt followed the apprentice forward for some distance, and finally walked around a small grove of trees, when the scene suddenly changed, and a heavy stone door appeared in his sight.

The forbidden place mentioned by the white-haired man quickly flashed in his mind, and an inexplicable emotion rose in Hoppt's heart, before today, he had never known that there was such a hidden place in the station, if it wasn't for the suddenness of the incident, and the crisis was imminent, I was afraid that he would never be qualified to know this secret.

"Lord Hopt, the High Priest is waiting for you inside." The apprentice walked to the stone door and stopped, turning back to Hoppert.

Hopt quickly gathered his emotions, nodded slightly expressionlessly, and stepped into the stone door.

Behind the stone gate is a smooth passage, the walls are made of large stone blocks, and the original exquisite murals have been weathered and faded, and it is obvious that they are very old.

The passage was not long, and Hopt soon found himself in a small stone chamber.

In the stone room, there are three stone tables, several priest apprentices are busy preparing something, the high priest with a gloomy expression stands in front of a stone table in the middle, mixing potions, in front of the black stone utensils, the black and red viscous liquid is constantly tumbling, emitting a slightly fishy sweet smell.

Hearing the footsteps, the high priest did not look back, still focusing on the deployment at hand, and Hopt naturally did not take the initiative to disturb him, standing quietly in the room and taking the opportunity to look around, thinking about the white-haired man's plan in his heart.

The High Priest sprinkled a handful of green powder into the liquid and watched as the powder slowly blended in, before he withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Hopt.

"Did Els tell you about the altar?" The High Priest's gloomy gaze wandered over Hopt's face for a moment, and then he suddenly asked.

Hopt shook his head, when it happened, he had just reached an agreement with the white-haired man, but he was pretended to be right by Els, and in a hurry, he attacked and injured him, causing the white-haired man to be taken away.

In retrospect, Elder Els seemed to have something to say at that time.

The High Priest hummed meaninglessly, picked up a letter and handed it to Hopt.

Hopt took the letter and opened it, a look of shock on his face, trying his best to suppress a trace of panic rising in his heart, and his eyes were focused on the letter in front of him, lest the high priest see the flaw.

However, at this moment, the potion on the stone table made a slight popping sound, and Hoppt noticed that the high priest turned back to check, so he gasped without a trace and quickly adjusted his facial expression.

It turned out that the Witch Elder had foreseen what was happening in the Forsaken Lands, and sent the letter to the High Priest in some special way after Adesbay was seriously injured and dying, and the need for a resurrection ceremony, as well as the fact that Els was in danger of his life.

Although the high priest did not agree with Els, he was very loyal to the tribe, and when he received the letter, he knew that the matter was very important, so he immediately sent someone to Els to discuss countermeasures.

And Els went to see Hopt to inform Hopt of the matter, and told him to guard the clan during this time, but he didn't expect to encounter an accident.

At that time, the Great Witch Priest was busy preparing to open the altar, and by the time he got the news and rushed to help, Els had already been captured by the attackers, and he only had time to see the destroyed tent and the fallen people.

It was the first time that Hopt had heard the always gloomy Great Witch Priest say so many words, and when he learned that the Great Elder was originally going to tell him the most important secret in the clan, he couldn't help but feel a sense of fame in his heart, and he was quickly suppressed by him again.

The matter has come to this point, no matter how much he thinks about it, it will be useless, as long as he becomes the patriarch, he can make the clan become the overlord of the prominent side and rebuild its glory, it can be regarded as worthy of the Great Elder.

At this time, the liquid on the stone table had completely fused with the green powder, and the high priest turned around and nodded at Hopt, "Alright, time is running out, we must prepare the altar as soon as possible, get the things, and follow me." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the bone staff on the table and walked towards the passage on the other side of the stone room.

Hopt walked over and picked up a heavy stone vessel containing the black liquid, and several priests beside him also carried a pair of tools that had been prepared, and several of them followed the high priest into the passage.

……

A wave of scorching heat poured into his breath, and when he slowly opened his eyes, Liu Minghao found himself lying on his stomach in the sand, his mouth and nose were filled with sand grains, and he swallowed a large mouthful of sand with one mouth, and hurriedly climbed up with his hands and feet.

Spit out the sand from their mouths, and look around, surrounded by an endless sea of sand, not the ruins before they entered the forsaken land, and a black shadow could be faintly visible under the western sky.

With a small sound, Jiang Ming appeared on the sand dunes above, saw that Liu Minghao was safe and sound, showed a relieved expression, and then raised his head and let out a whistle.

A clear cry echoed, Xiao Hei appeared in the sky, and soon came to the front, slowly falling, Liu Minghao followed Jiang Jie to jump on the broad back of the snake beast, and found that the three of Jonathan were lying on it, but they had not yet regained consciousness.

No one knew what was going on, after Liu Minghao threw out the black stone, he fainted, and Jiang Jie, the only one who remained awake, only felt that his eyes were dark, and he was in this desert, he sensed Xiao Hei for the first time, and with its assistance, he looked around for Liu Minghao and others.

Jiang Jie took the compass to discern the direction, commanded Xiao Hei to fly towards the west, the area of black shadows condensed in the sky, and looked back to see Liu Minghao holding the golden holy weapon with an expressionless face.

"I don't need it." Liu Minghao noticed Jiang Jie's gaze, and shrugged his shoulders in disappointment, according to the system, the holy weapon can only be used by people with the power of bloodline, he originally wanted to try to see if he could relieve the poisoning state on everyone's body, so he took it out to check, but there was no response.

"In other words, if you want to destroy the spirit of the plague, you can't do without the power of Adesbay." Jiang Jie took the holy weapon, checked the instructions, his face couldn't help but sink, and he looked helplessly at Adesbay, who had fallen to the side, obviously lacking his skills.

Liu Minghao walked behind Xiao Hei's neck and looked at the Hamna Tower in front of him, which gradually became clearer, "At present, it seems that the poisoning state does not have a great impact on us, maybe we can only take a risk." ”

Jiang Jie stood behind him silently, unable to think of any other way for a while.

At this moment, Xiao Hei suddenly hissed, as if he had hit something, his wings shook, and his body tilted to cross an arc in mid-air, and the two of them were startled, and hurriedly grabbed the scales that protruded from the back of Xiao Hei's head.

Fortunately, Jiang Jie fixed Jonathan and the others on Xiao Hei's back with ropes for the sake of insurance, so that the tragedy did not occur.

Xiao Hei had just stabilized his body, and suddenly leaned again, his body quickly spun in mid-air, let out a terrible hiss, and with a flick of his long tail, he rushed out into the distance.

Almost at the same time, there was a cry of surprise behind the two of them, and Eve had just woken up, her hands clutching the rope at her waist tightly, her eyes full of horror.

It wasn't until he was far away from the Hamna Tower, surrounded by black fog, that Xiao Hei was comforted by Jiang Jie, reduced his speed and landed slowly.

By this time, Jonathan and O'Connor had already come to their senses, quickly untied the rope fixed around their waists, and jumped off Xiao Hei's back with a rolling belt, vomiting violently.

"Blackie said there was a distraction that made it impossible to discern directions." Jiang Jie's face was a little ugly, he and Xiao Hei were able to communicate simply, although it seemed that only Xiao Hei was disturbed at the moment, but he could feel the cringe that Xiao Hei transmitted.

Liu Minghao frowned slightly, recalling that the black aura that faintly shrouded Hamna Tower, it should be the poisonous miasma that Benny said, which has such an obvious impact on a demon beast like Xiao Hei, it seems that the power should not be underestimated.

Now, his idea of risking his way into Hamnata was obviously not feasible.

The biggest possibility is that they have been wiped out by poisoning before they get close.
