Section 19 Rituals
In the thick fog, Angel's voice suddenly sounded. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's a high demon."
Angel glanced at the footprints and gave a judgment, "And the High Demon is the exclusive servant of the Shadow Church, and only the strong above the Legend level will distribute it." ”
"Shadow Church? They've been following me! Chen Yin couldn't help frowning.
After sniping the old butler before, the people of the Shadow Church never appeared again, it turned out that they just held back, and finally caught up.
Carefully observing the traces on the ground, it is not difficult to see that the people of the Shadow Church are still very cautious, and after penetrating, they summon their respective servants one after another.
Judging from the quality of the opponent's retinue, at least one of these 7 people is a legendary-level powerhouse.
It seems that just like Chen Yin and the others before, the stone path that the people of the Shadow Church noticed and their footprints eventually disappeared on that path.
"Looks like they went to that stone tower too." Chen Yin scratched his head and asked Angel, "How is it?" Shall we catch up? ”
"Of course." Angel shook his silver hair and followed the footprints on the ground first.
"What about that legend? Are you sure? Chen Yin didn't know anything about the Shadow Church, so he walked a few steps to Angel's side and asked.
"Hmm." Angel smiled.
"But the terrain here doesn't seem to be suitable for the Tyrannosaurus ......"
Chen Yin's worries are not unreasonable, whether it is the fine sand under his feet or the mountains, it has a fatal limiting effect on the Demon Tyrannosaurus, and the body size is very huge, coupled with these unfavorable terrain factors, the Demon Tyrannosaurus will become more clumsy.
"Actually, you don't necessarily need the cooperation of the Demon Tyrannosaurus." Angel smiled, "Before coming here...... McCarthy gave me this. ”
As he spoke, Angel took out a dark gray booklet and shook it at Chen Yin, and then quickly put it away.
It was such a shocking glimpse, Chen Yin was stunned.
"This!?"
"Shh......h Don't say it. Angel smiled slightly, his index finger was gently placed on his lips, his slender fingers and pink red lips were still there, and he tilted his head slightly and smiled, always indescribably playful and cute.
But in the face of this rare playfulness, Chen Yin was unmoved, staring at Angel with his eyes, pursing his lips with a serious expression.
"There's a big price to pay for using it, right? Daddy McCarthy is a legendary powerhouse, even he can't stand the side effects, you ......"
With Angel's strength, it is not certain whether he can withstand the side effects, of course, although Chen Yin has this meaning, he still didn't say it after all.
"Be prepared." Angel laughed.
Although Angel said this, Chen Yin always felt that there was something else in her smile.
"Let's go, time is running out." With that, Angel took the lead on the stone path.
Uncles and aunts naturally followed, Chen Yin sighed and followed.
This time it was still smooth, and I walked along the stone path to the foot of the stone tower at the top of the mountain.
But when Chen Yin saw the whole picture of the tower......
"Huh! That door? ”。
The tower's door had a huge hole, and the wreckage on the right had almost fallen off the frame, leaving only a little bit still attached, hanging crumblingly there.
The door was so dark that I couldn't see what was inside.
It seems that after Chen Yin and the others left, the two gates were closed again at some point. And the people of the Shadow Church obviously don't have Angel's information and don't know how to open the door.
Chen Yin cautiously walked in through the broken door, and as soon as he stepped into the floor, the entire hall lit up, and a soft white light emitted from the ceiling, illuminating the entire hall.
It was still an empty hall, and it was still the pool filled with gray seawater, but the pool was completely different from Chen Yin's impression......
A huge whirlpool was slowly spinning in the pool, and in the center of the whirlpool was a water elemental, and countless gray seawater waters were bound to it like chains.
"That whirlpool, drawing its power." Angel said suddenly.
Chen Yin bypassed the pool and found a staircase down on the opposite floor.
"Looks like the Shadow Church has some information in its possession?" Chen Yin looked at Angel playfully, "At least they found the right way to start." ”
"The Shadow Church likes to steal all sorts of information from us." Angel shook his head, and was about to say something when the body of the water elemental bound in the center of the vortex suddenly began to crumble.
As the struggle of the water elemental became weaker and weaker, the sound of a mechanism moving sounded, and the stone steps on the ground moved slightly, and the most edge began to rise slowly......
"Not good! It's running out of power! Come here! ”
Everyone was shocked, and they didn't have the heart to discuss the matter of the Shadow Church, so they quickly ran over and jumped down the steps. When everyone had descended into the passage, the last step slowly rose behind him, sealing the hole.
"Our position now should be under that pool, it looks like the back road is broken," Lancelot shook his head.
The wall above the head should be the thinnest, but unfortunately there is the pool above, and making a hole in the top is a death.
Chen Yin gently patted the stone that had just risen behind him, and then used his long sword to scratch the smooth surface, leaving a shallow mark of the carving.
"The rocks here are solid, but they are not indestructible." Chen Yin patted the stone wall behind him, "But it will take a lot of time and resources to destroy it, I suggest going down and taking a look first, and if necessary, we will come back and open it up." ”
"But in front of us are the people of the Shadow Church, in case they ambush us......" Aunt Jiya was a little skeptical.
"No, the people of the Shadow Church should still be 'chasing' us, and they shouldn't have guessed that we were already behind them."
Chen Yin's judgment was recognized by several people, and in the end, he went down to explore first.
The deep staircase sloped downward, and the distance was immersed in inky darkness except for the white light still shining overhead.
Whenever Chen Yin and the others advanced for a while, the top of their heads would light up, and the places behind them that had been far away would also go out, like voice-activated lights, and the soft white light had been following Chen Yin, neither ahead nor behind.
The stairs lead into the darkness below, as if there is no end to it. The crowd could only keep repeating and walking down.
I don't know how long it took.
A few people just remembered that it had been a long time since they spoke.
Finally, a small red point of light appeared in the darkness in the distance.
As the distance got closer, the red point of light grew larger and larger, gradually turning into a door-shaped exit, and a faint smell of sulfur came from the side of the door, stimulating everyone's nostrils.
“…… It's finally here. Chen Yin moved his arm and shook his thighs, which were a little sore, "How far have we gone?" ”
"About an hour." Lancelot also sighed and did a few stretches.
Aunt Ji Ya simply sat on the steps, and after exercising for such a long time, her physical strength was a little unable to keep up, after all, she was not young anymore, and she did not have the support of the soul sea.
On the contrary, Uncle Tim did not react, except for the fact that his chest and back were a little wet, and there was not the slightest expression of exhaustion on his face.
After a short rest, the crowd moved forward again.
It was Chen Yin and Lancelot who were the vanguard, and the others followed, and the group cautiously walked towards the gate that exuded the smell of sulfur.
The red light grew brighter and brighter, even overpowering the soft white light in the tunnel.
When Chen Yin held his long sword and stepped into the gate that emitted red light, a hot air with the smell of sulfur came to his face.
A spectacular red river, meandering not far ahead, exuding infinite heat.
That's right, it's a lava river.
It was an incomparably large cavity underneath, and the pitch black sky could not see how high the roof was. And this river of red magma is the most conspicuous landscape in the space.
"This is truly spectacular...... Chen Yin muttered to himself.
Standing in front of this magma river at this time, I can't help but feel that I am so small, but nature is so great.
"I've never seen anything like it...... This one is really, really, spectacularly. Angel sighed.
Chen Yin turned his head sideways.
The red light dyed the girl's hair and cheeks red, and she was as silver-white as Caixia, adding a layer of charm.
"What? Do I have dirt on my face? The girl winked mischievously.
"Nope." Chen Yin couldn't take his eyes off it, "It's just a little bit of fireworks, it's more like a person......"
"Isn't I usually human?"
"Hmm." Chen Yin nodded sincerely.
"You!! Feed!! ”
"Like a goddess."
"......" Angel's face was flushed, but fortunately, the faint red light covered her shyness.
"Let's go, there's still a long way to go." Chen Yin pointed ahead.
Next to the lava river, a black stone road stretches into the distance.
"Hey, what's going on with the two of them? How do you get hot and cold? Aunt Gia dragged Lancelot and asked in a whisper.
"How do I know!" Lancelot's face changed, "Don't talk to me like this!" ”
"Cut, coward...... Hey, iron lumps, what do you think? What's going on with the two of them? Aunt Jiya turned her head and asked Uncle.
"The heat hasn't arrived." Uncle Tim said lightly.
"I think so too, these two kids are too awkward......"
“……”
A faint voice of gossip came from behind him, and Chen Yin was not so embarrassed at this time, just smiled lightly.
Angel, however, sighed.
"Me, my greatest wish is for everyone to get rid of this endless reincarnation, whether it is a primitive or another human hybrid, they can control their own destiny......" Angel suddenly looked at Chen Yin very seriously and said.
"Great ideals." Although Chen Yin nodded, he knew very well that this kind of wish was just a mirror, where there were people, there would be rivers and lakes, there would be fights, and there would always be herbivores and meat-eating.
There are always some people who control the fate of others, and the fate of most people is always controlled by others.
"Sure enough...... We think differently. Angel sighed again.
"After all, the worldview is different." Chen Yin agreed.
The team continued to move forward, but the conversation between the two was as if it had never happened, except for Aunt Jiya, who was still muttering something, there was no other sound.
The magma river was scorching a few people, and the side illuminated by the red light was so hot that it seemed to be about to catch fire, while the side with the red light on its back was cold, it was like two heavens of ice and fire.
Fortunately, the stone path under their feet soon came to an end, and when everyone climbed a steep slope, everything ahead was in full view.
There, at the source of this magma river, is a huge lava lake.
"Shhh There's someone ahead. Chen Yin, who was the first to climb the steep slope, squatted down and hid himself behind a large rock, while beckoning behind him to signal everyone not to be exposed.
"Church of Shadows?" Lancelot leaned over to Chen Yin and asked softly.
"It should be." Chen Yin cautiously leaned out half of his body to observe the situation on the other side of the magma lake.
A few small black dots, circling around the lava lake, seemed to be measuring something. In terms of time, they had been here for at least a few hours.
"Holy Maiden? What do you think they're doing? Chen Yin leaned into the girl's ear and asked softly.
"Maybe you're preparing some kind of ritual?" Angel guessed.
"It's water just now, it's magma now, I guess they're going to summon a fire elemental?" Chen Yin guessed.
"Maybe." Angel was very unaccustomed to Chen Yin getting so close, her expression was a little flustered, and her hands were restless and she didn't know where the place was.
Chen Yin shrugged his shoulders and turned back to continue staring at the magma lake in front of him, Angel was slightly relieved after Chen Yin turned to leave.
……
Next to the lava lake.
The five black-robed men were busy nervously, arranging something on the shore around the magma lake.
The other two black-robed men stood aside.
Roughly speaking, the two black-robed men seem to be dressed in the same way as the people next to them, but if you look closely, you will find that the one standing in the middle has three blood-red rings on the cuffs, and the one next to them has only two on the cuffs.
"Lord You, I still think they ......" A familiar voice came from the mouth of the black-robed man with blood patterns on the second ring.
If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that this black-robed man with blood patterns in the second ring is the old housekeeper who was sniped by Chen Yin and them before.
"Are you still struggling with the traces? The gold relics are different from the outside world, and every time the descendants enter, the traces left by the predecessors will be reset, and the records of the holy scriptures will not be wrong. The three-ring blood-patterned black robe, known as You, said slowly.
Although he was talking to the old butler, his eyes kept staring at those busy low-level black robes, obviously a little absent-minded.
"But ......" the old butler was still a little unwilling.
"I have been studying the sacred texts for 30 years, and I have finally waited for this day. You're not doubting my judgment, are you? You suddenly turned his head, and his two turquoise blue eyes stared at the old butler, and a trace of blue light burst out of the corner of his eye, as if it was blown by an invisible wind.
"Don't dare, don't dare." The old butler hurriedly lowered his head and put on a respectful appearance.
After the two finished talking, the low-level black robe who was waiting on the side whispered, "My lord, it's ready." ”
Yu's attention was shifted to the magma lake, and the old butler, who had been staring at him, breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
"Let's get started."
