Chapter 53: The Demon Elixir
The high priest raised his hand and tore off a bone ornament on his chest vigorously, and suddenly raised his hand, and a streamer of light flew towards Liu Minghao, hitting the green vines, making a soft snapping sound. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
As if boiling water poured snow on the snow, the vine cage shook violently a few times, and immediately withered and blackened, breaking and falling to the ground one after another.
At the moment of crisis, the high priest suddenly burst out, severely injured the white-haired man, and broke the cage of vines that trapped Liu Minghao, the oil had run out, and a mouthful of blood spurted out again, and he fell to the ground.
On the other side, the white-haired man slapped the high priest with one palm, and his figure staggered back two steps, and a dagger appeared under his side, and the blade had already been completely submerged in his body, and in just a few breaths, blood soaked his clothes.
At this moment, a creepy sound suddenly sounded, and the blood runes suspended in mid-air suddenly lost their mana support, and the movements of the ghost general, which had been completely condensed, suddenly stopped, as if solidified, and then the black qi around the body gushed out, and the originally condensed body began to collapse rapidly.
The white-haired man was suddenly startled, and he didn't care about being seriously injured, so he immediately flew over to save him, and the stiff and motionless ghost general suddenly let out a fierce roar, waving a huge ghost claw, and rushed towards him reflexively.
Even if Liu Minghao only knew a little about the so-called spell, he could see that because of the interruption of the spell, the white-haired man was attacked by the ghost general.
Seeing the ghost general pounce, the white-haired man snorted suddenly, and jumped backwards with his legs slightly arched, narrowly avoiding the ghost claws that swept down against the door.
The scattered black aura blew, and immediately there was an extra wound on his face that seemed to be a scorch mark, and he couldn't help but let out a muffled snort, his facial features were distorted, and his face was pale.
The white-haired man landed on his feet, quickly rolled out to one side, dodged the other ghost claw in embarrassment, and then turned over and jumped up, with an extra black disc in his hand, and his right hand quickly made a few coherent strange gestures, biting the tip of his tongue hard, and a mouthful of blood sprayed onto the disc, and threw his hand towards the ghost general who had already arrived in front of him.
The black disc struck the ghost general's body, emitting a bloody light that sank into the swirling black gas.
The ghost general let out a roar as if he had been hit hard, his body writhed violently, and the black around him spread wildly, quickly forming a rapidly rotating vortex, and all of them were submerged into the black disc in the blink of an eye.
The color of the disc became darker and darker, with a faint gray aura, as if it could swallow all light, and it hovered in mid-air for a moment, and suddenly fell to the ground, making a sound like the symphony of gold and stone.
The white-haired man's expression was slightly relaxed, and he was about to get up, when a black shadow rushed forward, Liu Minghao had already jumped closer, stepped on the black disc with one foot, spun around and flew up, with a fierce wind, and kicked him the shoulder and neck.
This kick Liu Minghao exerted all his strength, the white-haired man couldn't dodge, hit the side of his neck, only felt numb in an instant, roared in his brain, and fell to the ground on his back.
At this time, the white-haired man was seriously injured, Liu Minghao naturally would not miss a good opportunity to kill the other party and complete the task, his body was slightly bowed, and he jumped out like lightning.
Seeing Liu Minghao rushing towards him like a vicious tiger, the white-haired man jumped up with his teeth tightened, desperately pounced on the altar behind him, grabbed the black stone placed in the center, and threw it towards Liu Minghao with his backhand.
When his fingers touched the black stone, a thick black mist immediately poured out from the white-haired man's body, and with it, a faint smell with a slightly fishy sweetness spread.
Liu Minghao's eyes widened suddenly, and he immediately realized that this mist was the poisonous miasma released by the spirit of the epidemic in the dark alley before, and he hurriedly held his breath, his body twisted in the air, and the moment he stumbled to the ground, he kicked away the black stone flying in front of him, and then slammed the ground with the soles of his feet, and jumped backwards.
The black stone flew to the side, and the miasma cut a black line in mid-air, slowly drifting away.
The white-haired man forced Liu Minghao back, took the opportunity to jump up, and once again showed that strange identity, a few dodges went to the door, and then his body flickered, and he disappeared into the darkness.
The ghost will disappear, Xiao Hei, who has entered the attack posture, only relaxed slightly, as soon as Jiang Jie got out, he first went to check the condition of the three of Johnathan, and found that the breath of the three of them was quite stable, but they were fainted by the pain, and there was no danger to their lives, so they breathed a sigh of relief, and they were about to get up, when they happened to see the orange pill at their feet.
"This is the elixir." Jiang Jie bent down and picked up the pill from the ground, put it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and said to Liu Minghao who came over.
"A poison that weakens your strength?" Liu Minghao glanced at it and asked casually.
From the conversation between Hopt and the white-haired man, it can be deduced that the deal between the two is nothing more than that Hopt was deceived by the white-haired man in order to improve his strength and betrayed the clan, but the result was a big mistake, and he killed himself.
"It's better than poison." Jiang Jie shook his head and glanced at Hopt who fell next to the altar with pity, "You can still detoxify poison if you are poisoned, once you take this medicine, there is only one way to die." ”
Liu Minghao noticed that Hopt, who was originally slumped to the ground and had a dull gaze, seemed to hear Jiang Jie's words, his body trembled slightly, and his fingers twitched unconsciously.
Jiang Jie didn't notice Hopt's subtle movements, still holding the pill, and then sighed, "The Demon Spirit Pill is a potion that can improve the body's functions in a short time, but it is actually an overdraft of life, and the principle is similar to the secret method of Adesbay. The brighter the color of this medicine, the greater the side effects, once the body takes it, it will soon collapse due to the consumption of the medicinal power, and finally become a useless waste.
Hoppt was lying on the ground with his back facing the sky, and he didn't know if he heard Jiang Jie's words, so he didn't move, his eyes stared at the void in a daze, as if he was out of his body.
The two are also in no mood to pay attention to the self-inflicted destruction of Hopter, Adesbay is dead, and if they can't find a way to enter the Hamna Tower, waiting for the system to end up in time will also be a dead end.
At this time, because the black stone was taken out, the light of the three small altars had long since disappeared, but the formation of the large altar was still running, emitting a soft golden light.
Liu Minghao's gaze fell on the center of the altar, and found that the wound on Adesbe's chest was glowing with a faint golden light, and there was no blood flowing out, and his heart moved slightly.
At this moment, there was a faint moan behind him.
Looking back, I saw the high priest raising his head with difficulty, his right hand leaning forward, his eyes staring at Liu Minghao and Jiang Jie, his black purple lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
Liu Minghao hurriedly walked over and held the high priest's shoulder, and at the same time took out a recovery elixir and put it into his mouth.
When the potion was entered, the high priest's throat twitched, and the brilliance in his eyes recovered slightly, but his face was still blue and gray, revealing a thick dead air.
Jiang Jie grabbed his wrist, probed his pulse, and shook his head at Liu Minghao, the high priest was injured by the white-haired man, and he was already lacking in the technique, and the recovery potion was just to torture him for a few more minutes.
The high priest's thin palm grabbed Liu Minghao's wrist, and with a slight force, he tried his best to turn his gaze and look straight at the front of the altar.
On the ground, there were broken golden lampstands, and the two of them found that at the base of the lampstand, there was a faint glimmer of golden light.
The high priest's eyes shone brightly, his lips trembled, and in an extremely hoarse voice, he said intermittently, "Put, put me and the lampstand on the altar, and there is still hope......
Liu Minghao raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the resolute high priest in his expression, he faintly guessed his plan, and couldn't help but sink slightly.
The High Priest gasped hard, his five wizened fingers clasped his wrists with all his might, and said hurriedly, "Quick, quick, Patriarch, he won't die, no, he can die......"
Jiang Jie also guessed the intention of the high priest at this time, and was about to turn around to pick up the lampstand, when Hoppt, who was lying on the ground like a living dead, suddenly jumped up, pounced like lightning, grabbed the lampstand, and rushed to the altar in one step.
"Ahh Liu Minghao was about to get up to stop him, but the high priest's eyes suddenly widened, let out a violent gasp, and pulled him hard.
Liu Minghao's heart moved, and he shouted at Jiang Jie, who had already rushed over, "Wait a minute." ”
Jiang Jie paused, and the hand that reached out to Hopt slowed down, only to see Hopt holding the lampstand with both hands, inserting the broken tip into his chest cavity, and blood splattered out instantly, and then Hopt roared, slowly stood up, pulled out the lampstand hard, staggered down on the altar, and put the candlestick in his hand beside Adesbay.
On the blood-stained lampholder, that glimmer of gold turned into a tiny flame, and as the blood continued to seep into it, the flame gradually brightened and danced happily.
Blood continued to flow into the altar, and Hopt's body shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, until it turned into a dry skeleton and collapsed.
At the same time, the golden light on the altar bloomed, swirling and converging on the lampstand, and the golden flame turned into a huge lantern flower, slowly floating up, flying towards Adesbay.
The flames flickered with dazzling light, slowly falling on Adesbay's chest, and then the golden light suddenly collapsed into his body.
As the flames vanished, a faint soft glow shone around Adesbay, gradually brightening up like a cocoon of light, completely enveloping him.
Seeing the scene in front of him, the high priest let out a sigh of relief, his head tilted to the side, his body was paralyzed, and he was completely lifeless.
……
After some time, the golden light slowly dissipated, and finally disappeared completely, revealing Adesbay lying on the altar.
Looking at Adesbay, who had recovered as before, Liu Minghao and Jiang Jie breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Liu Minghao walked to the altar to check his condition, but Adesbay let out a low groan, opened his eyes and sat up.
