Chapter 19 A New Battle
After crossing the bridge, Night Hitomi suddenly felt as if a thread of fate had broken in the darkness, and then there was a blank space in his heart.
She couldn't tell what she had lost, but the feeling of emptiness made her feel bad.
Hitomi sat alone, thinking alone, trying to find out. A figure suddenly appeared, which made her stunned.
"Could it be him?" Night Hitomi was surprised, but there seemed to be another voice telling her in the back of her heart that it was not an accident.
After a few hours of rest, the team moved on. After making their way through the fog, a city finally appeared before their eyes.
The whole city was dead silent, lifeless, no noise, dusty, I don't know how many years had passed in darkness and silence. The team searched several buildings, but could not find a single body or skeleton, and all the inhabitants did not know where the road had gone.
In the house, the pots and pans in the kitchen are on the stove, the cutlery is on the table, and the bedding on the bed in the bedroom has not been folded, but there is no trace of the owner.
Their quest went well, and with an incomparably huge temple in the middle of the city, such a goal would not be missed. When the crowd entered the temple, they were amazed by what they saw.
The hall is extremely empty, there is nothing superfluous in the huge space of hundreds of meters, only a high platform stands in the center, and there is a crystal girl statue standing at each of the four corners, and the hands of the four girls stretch out to a common position in the air, as if praying for something.
Although the place where their hands were pointing was now empty, the same feeling came to people's minds: there should have been something there.
The thing that disappeared was probably the treasure they were looking for.
Mars was about to fly to the high platform to take a look, but was grabbed by Sadison, then pointed to the ground, and said, "Look at your feet!"
Mars looked down and gasped.
The floor of the entire hall was covered with criss-crossing notches, and if you looked closely, these notches were connected to each other, and in Mars's eyes, there was a Force array that spread throughout the hall.
Looking at the array under his feet, and then at the high platform, Mars suddenly understood: "This is the altar!"
Sadison looked solemn and nodded slowly.
The notches that form the array are actually grooves, i.e., they act as a carrier medium, and it is clear that the driving energy for the operation of this vast array is not just the Force. And the altar, as the name suggests, also requires sacrifices to function.
So, what exactly is the sacrifice and the medium, and are they related?
In Black Mud Town, Thousand Nights did not leave the quiet room for two days and one night.
All the spider demon blood qi was almost exhausted, and there was a small whirlpool running under the belly of the thousand nights. The vortex is composed of an extremely pure Dark Force, which is infinitely close to the Dark Origin at the top of the Eternal Night side in terms of attribute distribution area.
However, Qianye didn't know that Brahms's strength was due to his innate physical strength, and the Viscount of the Spider Demon had always maintained his half-spider and half-human form for so long after entering the general, and could not freely convert between human form and spider form like most high-ranking spider demons, and the reason was that the Viscount's bloodline was not pure enough.
Such a large but mixed with impure original blood, in the end, can finally refine such a pure Dark Force, if it is known by the Eternal Night faction, it will cause a great sensation, and its degree of attention is no less than the election of a new seat in the Eternal Night Council.
However, Qianye was puzzled by another matter, according to the condensation and purification ratio of the Dawn Force, the number of these Dark Forces seemed to be too small. He wasn't expecting much of the Dark Force, but he couldn't ignore such a noticeable change.
The little whirlpool was still whirling without stopping, like the thickest of dark clouds, dark and gloomy, bottomless. After staring at it for a long time, you will even have the illusion of bloodshed in the endless darkness.
"The one who is black and has red is mysterious. This is the description of the Song Clan's ancient scrolls that they have achieved cultivation in the Xuan Chapter and are about to enter the hall.
Qianye sighed in his heart, the most important moment was coming.
After two days and one night, his once-depleted Dawn Force had slowly returned to its original level. At this time, in the body of Qianye, the tide of dawn flowed along the bloodline, but there was a dark vortex in the dantian under the abdomen. When the Dark Force is completely condensed, it will be immediately clear how it will react with the condensed Dawn Force that already exists in his body.
Is it the fact that the Terrans have proved that ice and fire cannot be in the same furnace with 1,200 years of practice, or is it the incredible balance between darkness and dawn on the Song Scrolls?
Qianye didn't think too much about or fear the upcoming outcome, and there was really no choice when it came to the present. He would rather gamble his life and death than do nothing and let the dark Force erode him.
He guided the Dark Force into the last week, and the vortex speed suddenly increased several times, then contracted violently, and finally turned into a black crystal bead the size of a fingertip.
How could such a thing happen? Thousand Nights was stunned, it was good news that the Darkness and the Dawn Force were not in conflict, but he didn't feel the balance between the Darkness and the Dawn at all.
Without waiting for Qianye's consciousness to stretch over to probe, the black crystal bead suddenly shattered, and a wisp of golden blood that was so thin that it was almost impossible to distinguish swam out from inside.
The color of this new blood is biased towards dark gold, although the breath is extremely weak, but there is a kind of cold and lofty forest breath, and it has a faint ancient meaning like the barrenness of time, as if it has existed for tens of millions of years.
The dark golden blood began to swim slowly, leaving a faint trail like a comet in its path, which would dissipate after a few moments.
Qianye suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a very subtle rune looming in the trail, but the golden blood qi was so small that the traces left were even more faint, and he was even a little unsure if he really saw anything.
The first area where the dark golden blood qi swam was where the dark crystal fragments were suspended, and as it went, the fragments disappeared one by one. Then it began to follow the flowing bloodline in the body of the thousand nights, as if it was knowing and familiarizing itself with this new world.
Qianye had a sudden feeling, if the original golden blood seemed to have its own wisdom, the dark golden blood in front of him was like a newborn baby.
The dark golden blood qi finally came to the position of the heart, and the pupil rune that had lost the golden blood qi did not dissipate, and it was still floating in the heart. Like a curious child, the dark gold blood qi circled around the rune twice, touched it a few times with the thin top, and then plunged into it, coiled up, and hibernated, as if finally confirming that this was his new home.
When Qianye walked out of the cultivation room, he saw Song Hu sitting outside, as if he had been waiting for a long time. There are many things to do after the war, and Song Hu will not come here to waste time unless it is necessary.
"What, what's wrong?" Qianye reached out and asked Ah Qi to help him change out of his sweat-soaked inner and outer clothes.
Song Hu said: "The traces of the follow-up troops of the dark race in the swamp have been discovered, and General Wei asked you to go to him once after your cultivation is over, and you want to arrange defense matters." ”
When Qianye walked into the council hall, most of the officers of the expeditionary force had already dispersed, and several guards of the Wei family had also taken over the task and were about to leave.
Wei Bonian stood in front of the map of the war zone, turned his head when he heard the voice, and said, "There is a good news and a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Good news. "Seeing that Wei Bonian is still in the mood to joke, the situation should not have reached the worst yet, but Qianye passed by a group of officers in the courtyard just now, and their faces are not very good-looking.
Wei Bonian said: "The good news is that the vanguard of the dark army, which has been confirmed to be annihilated in the last battle, is actually half of their military strength in this direction. Moreover, compared with the previous battles of the expeditionary force, the price we paid can be said to be very small. ”
Qianye nodded and asked, "What about the bad news?"
Wei Bonian smiled bitterly and said: "The bad news is that although the dark race has not increased its troops, it has no intention of changing its route. The leader is likely to be Sodor Soul Breaker. ”
"Soul Split, isn't that the werewolf tribe?"
"That's right, it's the Broken Soul, one of the ten tribes of werewolves, known for its militancy and ruthlessness. That's it, the problem is that Sodo Soul Breaker is also a general. ”
Qianye couldn't help frowning, "Two generals?"
Wei Bonian nodded, his expression solemn, "Yes, half of the team lost will not be rerouted, obviously this theater is just a small link in their troop deployment." But in such a non-focused direction, two generals were dispatched, and it seemed that the Dark Race's offensive was unprecedentedly powerful. ”
Qianye walked up to Wei Bonian, looked at the latest marked map on the table, and asked, "General, how is your injury?"
"I'm almost recovered, but fortunately, I brought a private special medicine this time. I didn't want to use it, but I didn't expect another werewolf to come out! Alas, that medicine was almost worth a level 6 gun. Speaking of this, Wei Bonian shrugged, quite reluctant.
The special medicine that can be used to recover from injuries in a short period of time has always been extremely rare, and it is a life-saving hole card in times of crisis, but the news that another dark general is about to make Wei Bonian have to return to his heyday as soon as possible.
Wei Bonian immediately brought the topic back to business and said: "I have urgently transferred the teams on other fronts, leaving only the military forces to maintain law and order, so that our side can barely maintain the superiority in troops. Your Darkfire Mercenary Regiment is defended here, about a hundred meters within the city walls, and three blocks in close proximity. ”
Chiya stretched out his hand and pointed to the map and said, "It seems that there is something weak here"
At this point, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable with his left hand holding the table, so he moved his arm. There was only a loud bang, and the entire conference table shattered into countless wooden blocks, and even the military map was torn into pieces of paper.
Qianye still maintained the posture of pressing his left hand weakly, and froze for a while.
Wei Bonian was also taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "What's the matter?"
"My one, it seems like I'm using a bit of a lot of power. Chiya replied in a slurred.
