Chapter 109: The Way of Life
"Remo...... Liotos ......", the energy mass was suddenly retracted, and the unstable dìng situation just now happened again, and his emotions could not stabilize the dìng energy form with a slight wave, "Remo...... Leotos!" he shouted, and countless pulses of Gloomy Orchid's energy burst out from the energy cluster.
"What's going on?" Tarrant hurriedly stretched out his arms to block his teammates behind him, pulses like sharp arrows running rampant in the room, it was difficult to predict the possible consequences, "Stand back!" he covered Katrina's body and stepped back.
"My name is Remo Leotos!" the energy mass dispersed with a loud roar and disappeared in front of everyone.
"Gone?" Tarrant scanned the room quizzically, "Self-detonation?" his hand still clinging to Katrina.
"No", a strange and crisp male voice sounded behind him, Tarrant quickly turned around, and next to the statue stood a handsome young elf, with a pale face, long golden hair, pointed ears half-exposed, and a dark orchid robe floating gently.
"Thank you, beautiful lady", the man turned to Katrina, leaned forward and bowed slightly, "You have restored my senses and reminded me of my name", he turned to everyone, put his right hand on his chest and introduced, "I am Remo Leotos, the god of knowledge. ”
"Your body ......," Tarrant pointed to his body, unable to find the right words to express his surprise in respect for a moment, the elf and the old voice were completely different things.
"You have awakened my sense of self and made me regain my faith, thank you", he looked at the four of them with open hands and embraced, "I admire your will and loyalty, even though you are only mortal, but you can reject Godhead." ”
Katrina stared blankly at the elf, his elegance and softness almost conquered her entire consciousness in an instant, until the elf looked at her, and realized the gaffe just now, she blushed and whispered, "That...... My request ......"
"Your request, of course, is not a problem", the elf smiled as he walked towards the center of the room, "but my mana can only send you to one place inside the temple. ”
"How many exits are there in the temple?" Rex asked.
"There were two when it was built. ”
Hearing this answer, Tarrant's heart fluttered, and the long-lost light of hope brightened again, "The gate one has been damaged, where is the other one, let's go there." ”
"The other exit is at the temple portal, and even if you get there, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave. ”
"What?" Tarrant's heart hung in his throat, and he prayed for good news.
"The power of the teleportation table can only be used by my priests and archons, and inserting their weapons into the teleportation crate will activate the teleportation array. ”
"Priests and Archons?" Tarrant was heartbroken, "what are their weapons, and are they still in this temple?"
"Staff and halberd, in the process of voiding, the sacrificial staff has been shattered with energy, and the Archon halberd has also been lost. ”
"Halberd?!" the thing was next to the Ranger's corpse, and Tarrant held out his right fist, "Excellent!"
"There were two when it was built," Rex interrupted, "God of Knowledge, do you mean anything else?" ”
The elf's gaze shifted to Rex, "You're smart, and it's a shame I didn't make you my spokesperson." There used to be two exits to this temple, and now, the most direct way out is from the former arsenal. ”
Tarrant frowned, "The roof has collapsed and the whole room is buried. ”
"The passage is on the roof," the elf nodded approvingly, the aisle was tantamount to death for humans, and Tarrant's words proved that the team had cleared the test.
"Let's go to the arsenal then, now", Rex unconsciously began to urge the trip.
"As you wish", the elf stretched his hands forward, and the blue energy of his fingertips condensed into white and meandered along the squad, a teleportation array, "If you change your mind, come here......"
"Will you wait for the next group of adventurers?" asked Katrina suddenly.
"Maybe ......," the elf looked into the mage's eyes, "I have no future...... Good bye...... Warriors ......"
Things begin to distort, and sound is cut off from the force field.
When he opened his eyes again, there was only absolute darkness, and as soon as Tarrant took a step, he staggered and fell down a slope with the soles of his feet.
"Damn!" he stood up in the dark, "Guys, where are you?" something grabbed him by the calf and made him jump back, "Who?"
"You idiot!" the mage's voice said, "Lift me up!"
"Catherina!" he leaned over and fumbled, grabbing the mage's cold hands, "I'll help you," and he pulled upwards hard.
"I'm hooked on something," the mage snorted.
"Don't worry, let me see", Tarrant activated the Tinwo badge energy, and with night vision he saw a gray thing pressing down on the mage's robe, he walked over with small steps, "Your robe is hooked", he reached for the thing.
A cold object, stony, hard, heavy, Tarrant tried to push it away but to no avail, perhaps only a small part of it was exposed, "a very heavy thing." ”
The mage propped himself up, his hands wandering in the darkness, "What is it?"
"I don't know", Tarrant looked around, he needed help, and there was no sign of Rex and Kitty, "what about the two of them?"
"We're here," Rex's voice came from outside the door.
"Wait here," Tarrant patted Katrina on the shoulder, she was afraid of the dark, and since she was a child, she had to keep talking to distract her, "We're at the door, two steps away from you. ”
"Good," the mage's hands clutched at the dirt beneath him.
Rex and Kitty were waiting on the side wall of the doorway, there was not a glimmer of light, they couldn't even see each other, and there was a deadly trap next to them, "We need a torch", Rex said in the direction of Tarrant.
"Torch ......" Tarrant crossed two teammates, "there is one there", there was a torch on the mechanism a few steps away from him, the gargoyle flew from Tarrant's hand during the raid, and the white bones on the ground were still arranged in an orderly manner, he followed the trajectory to pick up the torch, took out the flint from the spirit belt and lit it, and the surroundings lit up, at this moment, it made people have a warmth that filled the whole body.
The three of them returned to the room, and Katrina soothed her nervous look, "Pull me out." ”
"Let me see what this is", the torch approached the artifact, it was a carved stone that looked like the ears of a beast, "a sculpture", he handed the torch to Kitty, his hands brushing away the layers of earth.
"Wait!" Rex took a step back, "It's another gargoyle!"
"Gargoyles?" Tarrant instantly realized a hint of doubt, and his legs retreated alertly.
"What gargoyles?!" Katrina shouted at Tarrant as she looked at the trio's expressions and panicked postures.
"I didn't ...... It's nothing...... Don't be nervous", Tarrant immediately regained his composure, the gargoyle was buried tightly underneath, there was no need to worry, he pulled out his katana and slashed it diagonally, the sharp edge flattened the protruding curve of the stone, and now the thing was missing half an ear, "It's okay", he stretched out his hand to help the mage.
"What's that?" the mage looked down at the falling stone as he straightened his robes, "Gargoyle?"
"Maybe, maybe not", Tarrant patted the dirt off the mage's back, "it's time for us to hit the road, where's that god-like passage?"
Looking up at the mud and rocks, "a part of it has to be dug up", Rex climbs up, and the action is in operation.
"All right, ladies, wait a minute," Tarrant followed.
The soil had formed into a hard lump, and it took a lot of body to peel off the whole piece, but Tarrant was surprised to find that his body was not as pitiful as before, "Rex, why do I think my body has been improved, is it an illusion of overconsumption?"
"I feel that too," Rex said earnestly, "I think it's the blue energy of that temple that has healing powers. ”
"Oh?" said for a good reason, as Tarrant took out a large chunk of hard dirt and threw it behind him, revealing a small hole in the top, "Look, there's space up there." ”
"Dig some more. ”
Tarrant swept down a large cloud of rubble, the cavern enlarged enough to probe, "I'll see what was going on up there," he cautiously leaned in.
There is a large space above, and there is nothing to be seen within the range of night vision, but it is certain that this is an underground passage, and it can be discerned from the smell that it is still some distance from the ground, Tarrant used his elbow to push open the soil layer on the side of his neck, and his right hand reached up with difficulty to pick up a small piece of soil, dry, Remo was right, this place can lead to the ground, he observed the passage, the bottom was not smooth, it was not excavated by human tools, there were large footprints around, Tarrant pondered, the owner of this footprint may be the digger of the passage, some kind of large creature, a strong thought suddenly struck, Tarrant realized that he should leave here immediately!
