Chapter 40: The Temple of the Dead
In the dry highlands, the yellow sand was flying, and the hot winds were blowing on the earth, and at first glance it was a yellow that could not be seen, except for the occasional place or two places with green traces on the ground, and then the blue sky in the distance.
The two figures walked slowly in the wind, and the wind blew the corners of their scarves high, looking like small flags from a distance.
"Damn the sandstorm!" Walking in front, Mo Wen cursed in a low voice.
There was a rustling sound in the wind and sand, and several animals that were crawling on the ground and jumping back and forth like toads suddenly ran towards Mo Wen and them, their sharp claws and teeth flashing with cold light, obviously not vegetarian animals.
"And these damn monsters!"
"Gina, kill them!"
As soon as Mo Wen's words fell, three ice arrows flew out of the hands of the figure behind him, hitting the three jumpers with precision, and the jumpers' movements were stiff, and a layer of frost quickly covered their bodies.
The scimitar in his hand is a foolish nail, and he knocks on the source of the lawsuit
"Well done!" Although it was not the first time to make a move, Mo Wen still couldn't help but admire.
Although Gina's magic is not very powerful, but the accuracy and field control ability are amazing, she has almost not wasted any magic power, she can always hit the target at the first time, one monster is an ice arrow, two is two, Mo Wen even suspected that if a hundred monsters appeared at the same time, she could also send out a hundred ice arrows in an instant.
A fireball flew over Mo Wen's head and accurately hit a sneaking vulture demon.
Blood and flames burst at the same time, and the vulture fell from the sky with a wail.
"It's nothing. In the past, in order to collect magic materials, I also went on adventures in various places. I still have this kind of means of self-preservation. Gina said lightly.
But Mo Wen suspected that she was smiling secretly under Yan Sù's face at this time, and the damn vulture had sprinkled all the blood on his body. He was now covered in a fishy smell.
"Gina—I suspect you're deliberately taking revenge on me, you should be able to kill that vulture farther away." The corners of Mo Wen's mouth twitched slightly.
"Not really, master. The wind and sand just now were too big, and I didn't find the sneaking vulture at the first time. And although he is a little dissatisfied with being pulled out of the real yàn, from the perspective of efficiency, helping the master to take the origin of this world as much as possible will have greater benefits in the future, after all, according to the master, after becoming a heroic spirit. The most important thing is time. ”
Gina explained solemnly, the glasses on the bridge of her nose glistening in the sunlight.
Although Gina was there to explain, Mo Wen felt that the smile in her heart seemed to be even stronger.
After spending the first few days in trepidation, Gina gradually adapted to her current identity, she found that Mo Wen was not so difficult to get along with, and the contract was not as bad as she imagined, although she had to obey Mo Wen's orders, but she also had unlimited time to study magic to her heart's content. It is even possible to follow Mo Wen to see other worlds and see what the magic there is like.
So in the past few days, Gina's attitude towards Mo Wen has become more and more casual, and even this kind of small revenge has been used.
"Ahh A piercing scream emanated from Gina's mouth and spread through the empty desert.
She clutched her unusually full breasts. Pretty blushed and stepped back, just now Mo Wen pinched it hard.
"Gina, you seem to have forgotten about it. I can know whatever you're thinking as long as I want. He stared at her with a smirk. Mo Wen said maliciously, his eyes staring straight at Gina's chest, which his palm couldn't cover at all.
Of course. This sentence is a lie to her, although she has this ability, Mo Wen has never used it, if she knows everything, then she can't enjoy the process of training.
"Ahh - Uh, master, look, we're in place! As if realizing this, Gina hurriedly pointed in a direction in an attempt to distract Mo Wen.
However, it has to be said that her luck is good, as the storm land gradually weakens, a stone hall appears in the eyes of the two of them in the distance.
A square entrance, behind which is a pitch-black passage leading to the underground, without superfluous decoration, the stone gate is full of traces of perennial erosion by wind and sand, giving this gate a sense of age. Two torches hung on either side of the door, but were not lit.
As he walked down the steps, Mo Wen listened to Gina's introduction while looking at his surroundings.
"Originally a shrine dedicated to Anubis, the god of the underworld and the dead, the inhabitants of the vicinity of Rugauin have been worshipping this shrine for centuries, believing that only by taking refuge in this shrine can they rest in the underworld, and that it is said that the most devout believers can be resurrected by Anubis."
Gina glanced at Mo Wen, "Of course, since the rise of the Church of Sakaram, those fanatical paladins and missionaries have captured this place together, and a qiē belonging to Anubis has been burned, and this place has been deserted. ”
Mo Wen shrugged, his paladin belonged to the Knights of Westmar, a branch of the Paladin of Curast, the Sakalam Order. Some of the paladins chose to leave due to objections to the overzealous and bloody actions of the Hand of Sakaram, and after discovering that Westmar was a suitable country for them to take refuge in, they established a new Order there. After that, the Knights of Westmar also shifted from the previous slaughter of the "unbelievers" to the struggle against the three demon gods - Diablo, Barr, and Mephisto and their minions.
In other words, the qiē here is all done by those predecessors of oneself.
Looking at the broken walls, the smashed utensils, and the scorched marks, Mo Wen could imagine how those fanatical paladins slaughtered the heretics here at that time, and no one knew better than him, a fifth-order paladin, how terrifying these mad paladins were.
Fanatical aura, this paladin's sixth-order skill is not just good-looking.
While searching in the stone rooms, Mo Wen looked at Gina.
"Hey. Gina, you said your teacher had taken you on a trip. Have you ever been to Curast? ”
Gina was stunned, "No." I heard that it is a mess there now, those Sakaram cultists are killing people everywhere like crazy, and my teacher didn't take me there for fear of being implicated, what, where do you want to go? ”
Mo Wen shook his head, the current Sakaram Church has been controlled by the hated Lord Mephisto for decades, and it has long since deteriorated, from an organization that believes in light to a cult that worships darkness, but now people are not aware of this. Thinking that the only demon god who had escaped, Diablo was the only one, and it was not long before the most authoritative Grand Elder of the High Council of Sakaram, Sakeku, turned into Mephisto and became his stand-in in the human world.
"But I think I'm going to do a massacre here like my predecessors!"
Mo Wen clenched the scimitar in his hand, and a pair of cat-like eyes lit up in the dark, a group of cat-like eyes, but walking upright. Monsters with horns on their heads and leather whips in their hands silently surrounded them.
Sabertooth cat!
At the same time, with a soft clicking sound, several reddened skeletons also walked out of the darkness, behind them. A mummy resembling Rodament stood there.
There was silence in the stone room, and Mo Wen confronted the group of monsters, looking for the flaws of the other party.
The next moment. Blinding lightning streaked across the calm stone chamber, leaping arcs leaping from one saber-toothed cat to another. The four monsters were electrocuted into charcoal.
As if a spark was thrown into explosives, the confrontation was broken in an instant. All the monsters pounced.
"Protect me!" Gina opened the shattered ice armor, and a pale blue chill covered her body.
Fire, Freeze, Lightning.
Bursts of magic shot out of her hands, striking directly at the monsters that pounced.
"Flame Enhancement!"
With a finger of her hand, a red flame covered Mo Wen's scimitar, and the already sharp scimitar was even more inflicted fire damage at this time.
"Beautiful!" Mo Wen, who was strengthened by his teammates for the first time, was also excited.
Sincerely!
Five fiery red sword lights flashed, and several saber-toothed cats that rushed forward were split into two parts, and their corpses also burned.
"Icibels!" The thick ice spear shot out and hit the mummy as it resurrected the skeleton soldier, freezing it into a block of ice.
A slingcat hides in the saber-toothed cat and throws a stone in his hand, but it is frozen to pieces by Gina's ice armor, and then the slingcat is blown into the sky by a fireball.
Groups of skeleton soldiers rushed up, and their swords slashed at Mo Wen's shield, making a clanging sound, but then a cloud of golden aura came out from under Mo Wen's feet, and the corpses were not ignited, and the holy fire aura burned them to ashes.
After only a while, Mo Wen and Gina cooperated to clean up the stone room.
"Whew!" Taking a slight breath, Gina looked at her masterpiece with some satisfaction, it was the first time she had been so relieved to output magic, and when she was alone, she always had to dodge and shoot back.
No matter how strong the mage's ice shield is, it can't stop the constant attack of monsters, and Mo Wen, a paladin who can resist and fight, is suitable as a shield.
"Let's go!" is different from Gina, who often squats at home to do research, this kind of scene just now is used to Mo Wen, and he adjusted his breathing, just like no one.
"It looks like this treasure hunt isn't that simple."
Gina looked at the saber-toothed cat who had fallen to the ground, "Legend has it that the cat is the messenger of Anubis, and I think we are likely to meet the leader of a saber-toothed cat, and of course the giant mummy may not be, after all, Anubis is also a god in charge of death." ”
"I think those seniors haven't done it thoroughly enough, so it's better to kill this god directly."
Gina glanced at him, "I'm sorry, no one can prove whether this god mansion exists, your paladin predecessors are afraid that they can't do this when they die, of course, if they go to the supreme heaven after death, maybe they can let the angels there take a look, but as far as I know, this world is now heaven, hell, and earth, and there is no underworld, and there is no reaction after the temple was destroyed, and it is more likely that this god mansion is deified by the people themselves." ”
Mo Wen rolled his eyes, "Gina, your serious appearance now is far less cute than the stupid appearance at the beginning." ”
"Really?" Gina straightened her clothes and stared at Mo Wen with big eyes. "But I find that every time I'm serious, there is more sparkle in your eyes."
