Chapter 15: The Altar of Mystery
There are only two elites lurking among the ordinary cave-dwelling demons, one of whom was decisively killed by White Maple Valley, while the other was targeting Harpy.
A disgusting swarm of parasites flew out from under the carapace, making a buzzing noise, and the harpy, who had learned about the White Maple Valley method through psychic communication, spewed out a mouthful of dragon breath.
However, it had been shown when the cobwebs were burned before, and the weakened dragon breath of the black mayfly was far from being comparable to that of the black young dragon, and at this time, it was the same.
The parasite swarm wrapped in the black mayfly's weakened dragon's breath unexpectedly showed a strong survival wisdom, and the entire community gathered into a round ball, so that only the peripheral parasites would be harmed by the dragon's breath, and the black mayfly's dragon's breath did not have a strong spreading nature like the black dragon, although there were still a large number of parasites burned to ashes, but they were washed out of the scope of the weakened dragon's breath by the swarm.
As soon as they left, the parasite swarm deformed again, turning into a hideous giant mouth in mid-air, but it took the initiative to avoid the harpy who was spitting dragon breath, and directly wrapped the black mayfly that was lucky enough to not be bound by the cobwebs.
The black mayfly looked frightened and wanted to spit dragon breath to defend himself, but at this time, he lost his previous good fortune.
The parasites, which were already close at hand, were not afraid of death, and swarmed against the dragon's breath, and after paying a small number of casualties, they all attached themselves to the body of the black mayfly.
And this time, it was White Maple Valley and Harpy who saw the horror of the parasite swarm.
After two baptisms of dragon breath, the still dense swarm of parasites crawled all over the body surface of the black mayfly, as if it had put on a miserable green coat for him.
However, this "coat" is not so easy to wear.
At the moment when the parasite swarm was attached, the black mayfly's terrible scream rang out.
At this time, Bai Fenggu, who had rushed to the front, clearly saw that the hideous mouthparts of the parasite swarm penetrated the dragon scales of the black mayfly, corroded the scales and the flesh below with a dark green venom, and then sucked it into the abdomen.
In just a few breaths, the wailing of the "miserable green" black mayfly gradually stopped, and the whole dragon seemed to lose a circle, and its body shrunk.
At the same time, Bai Fenggu also found that the parasite swarm seemed to have absorbed enough nutrients, and the original fly-like body grew to the size of the little finger's belly, and some of the stomachs were bulging, laying eggs like millet grains.
Bai Fenggu raised his eyebrows, knowing that this silent black mayfly had lost its life and turned into a nest for parasite swarms to lay eggs, so the dragon's mouth opened, and the dark dragon's breath surged out, directly burning all the parasite swarms and the young eggs they laid before leaving.
Then, White Maple Valley and Harpy converged and rescued the black mayfly bound by the cobwebs, but there were only four of them left in the original team of eight people.
And among them, there is also a black mayfly that is the one who chose the Heart-Cleansing Bamboo for the White Maple Valley before, so that the amount of Lich Treasure they can obtain is only three pieces.
At this time, the remaining cavemen saw that they could not do anything, and they didn't even wait for the White Maple Valley to clean them up, and under the leadership of the only remaining elite caveman demon, they fled one after another.
In a short time, the Lich Treasure Room was quiet again, and the blood stumps on the ground disappeared silently under the purging of the magic ban, as if nothing had happened.
Bai Fenggu looked around, the battle scene half a moment ago was still vivid, and his mood couldn't help but be a little gloomy, but in an instant, he regained his posture again, and in a high-pitched tone, he ordered the black mayfly to take down a simple-looking animal skin scroll from the wooden frame, so as not to cause his own losses due to another accident.
"Winter's Spirit Synthesis Scroll (D-Rank Item): A crafting scroll crafted by a high-level alchemist, you can recraft two healing orbs and a negative electrode cloak into a single Winterspirit Gem."
"Winter's Spirit (D-Rank Equipment): A magical gem that exudes an extremely cold aura that can freeze and preserve the life energy that the wielder passively releases all the time, and feed this energy back to the wielder to enhance regenerative ability.
Skill - Winter Shield: The life energy frozen by the Spirit of Winter forms an invisible shield on the holder's body, which can resist any form of damage, and the defensive ability is determined by the reserves of life energy collected. ”
Although the Winter Spirit after synthesis is quite useful, but the materials needed such as the Orb of Life and the negative electrode cloak, White Maple Valley does not have one, so naturally it cannot be used, so it can only be left in the storage space, and the materials required for synthesis will be collected in the future.
Therefore, after Bai Fenggu got the scroll, he didn't care too much, and took the three of them to chase after Sun Tianba along the route that Sun Tianba had escaped.
Along the way, Sun Tianba, who was like a bloody man, made bloody footprints step by step, leaving obvious traces everywhere he passed, and Bai Fenggu followed these clues along the way, which was easy.
Moreover, it seems that because the main force of the caveman demon retreated with the elite caveman demon, judging by the footprints on the ground, the process of Sun Tianba's escape is getting smoother and smoother, and the footprints that were very hasty and messy at the beginning gradually become neat and stable, and the blood dripping around is becoming more and more rare.
Bai Fenggu speculated that Sun Tianba must have gotten a chance to breathe after the caveman retreated, and in order to avoid the deterioration of his injuries, he slowed down his escape and simply dealt with the injuries on his body by the way.
But in this way, it also gave White Maple Valley a chance to catch up with him.
However, this is a helpless choice for Sun Tianba, instead of risking the aggravation of his injuries and choosing a path that is bound to be caught up by White Maple Valley, it is better to take the opportunity to rest and recover more strength to fight against the White Maple Valley who has caught up, maybe there will be a chance to survive in death.
However, if life is unsatisfactory, the development of things is naturally not in accordance with Bai Fenggu and Sun Tianba's intentions.
When Bai Fenggu led a group of black mayflies to find Sun Tianba's hiding place, he was shocked to find that Sun Tianba didn't know what mechanism he had touched, and actually opened a mysterious portal on a shelf that looked no different from the surrounding wooden frames.
Behind the oval portal, there was a deep and mysterious dark place, and Sun Tianba glanced back at the White Maple Valley in a panic, and he didn't care about the possible dangers inside, so he rushed in.
"White Maple Valley, you just relied on the strength of the crowd to win me by luck! If you have a kind of you, come in and fight with Lao Tzu fairly! ”
Bai Fenggu was noncommittal when he heard Sun Tianba's shout, but the secret realm behind this portal could not help but break in, smiled slightly, and chased it in without hesitation.
Just after Sun Tianba and the two groups of people from White Maple Valley entered, the mysterious portal still stood there quietly, as if expecting a new visitor.
A few minutes later, with a faint sound of wind, there were suddenly ripples on the smooth interface of the portal, and it seemed that some stealth existence had walked in.
In the air, the low-key voice of a third visitor was faintly heard, "Fortunately, I caught up!" Looks like they're in here. It's all those damn cavemen, and I almost lost them! It's really a long eye, two big fish actually stayed together, it seems that there was a big fight, this is a sandpiper and a clam competition, and I am destined to do a good fish! ”
The voice gradually dissipated, and the portal, which had received three groups of visitors, seemed to have completed its mission, disappearing into thin air without a sound.
On the other side, as soon as Bai Fenggu, who chased into the portal, recovered his sight, he was surprised to find that Sun Tianba's figure was not far ahead, if he wanted to kill him at this time, under the full force of the explosion, this distance would be in the blink of an eye.
But it's no wonder, because the world behind the portal is just a hall like a zombie dungeon, although it is wide, but there are no buildings that can block the view.
White Maple Valley carefully observed the surrounding environment and found that this place was really simple, it turned out to be a hall that was closed around and could only be entered and exited through a portal.
Once the portal closes, I'm afraid everyone will have to be trapped here, waiting for the end of the trial mission.
And in this hall, the only place with some connotation is probably the altar occupied by Sun Tianba.
It is said to be an altar, but because next to this high platform in the middle of the hall, there is a stone tablet, most of which has worn out with the passage of time, leaving only a few ambiguous words.
"** will come, and seven messengers will walk the world on behalf of the true meaning of sin."
"Seal the essence of the ** with the altar of filthy earth, be careful!"
"On the altar are three props that were cherished by my apprenticeship, and those who come after me can use them."
Seeing this, Bai Fenggu frowned, but he was a little unhappy, because Sun Tianba won some time by virtue of the opportunity to enter here first, and he actually occupied the altar where the props were placed, and he was a little constrained for a while.
At this moment, Sun Tianba on the altar was wearing a flame windbreaker, standing proudly, staring at Bai Fenggu with burning eyes, not at all looking like he was seriously injured.
Holding a fist-sized oval metal artifact with an extremely bright black color, he took the initiative to introduce, "This is the item I chose in the Lich Treasure Room, the C-rank item Alchemy Bomb. It's powerful, haha! Once it explodes, the shockwave is enough to sweep through the entire hall, and we, I'm afraid, don't even have a chance to rush through the portal, so we just disappear with the sound of the explosion. ”
Bai Fenggu smiled softly, "Sun Tianba, are you poor in donkey skills?" Even such a little trick as bluffing was used! ”
"If this is really an alchemy bomb, a treasure you got in the Lich Treasure Room, and the muscle-boosting ability was drawn from the Starter Pack, then the flaming trench coat you wore couldn't have appeared out of nowhere, right? Well, do you think I'm right? ”
Sun Tianba laughed roughly, and said disdainfully: "White Maple Valley, don't pretend to be stupid!" Wouldn't you have imagined that this flame trench coat was naturally the trophy that Lao Tzu snatched from killing a reincarnated person! ”
"You know whether Lao Tzu is bluffing or not!"
"I'm telling you this because you defeated me, and I was chased by you to a corner, so I can only use this trick to discuss with you and find a solution that best of both worlds. Otherwise, we will all have to die together! ”
Bai Fenggu was silent, nodded and motioned for Sun Tianba to continue, while Harpy behind him was also silent under the strict order of his spiritual communication.
