Chapter 797: Soul Heart
After a loud humming sound, a row of vague characters suddenly appeared on the surface of the magma. The entire cave somehow began to tremble slightly, and the free spiritual power suddenly gathered towards the magma.
Because the spiritual power that exists in this place is really amazing, and when they gather, it is like some ancient will awakens from the ground, exuding a formidable aura.
“...... Huh?"
Benjamin's eyes narrowed.
He was still pushing the elemental storm towards the magma, but when the storm was only ten meters away from the magma, it was as if an invisible force emanated from the huge characters on the surface of the magma, and suddenly stuck the elemental storm, making it unable to move on.
It was an extremely hot force, but it was a little ...... Cold?
While he was still thinking, he saw the magma suddenly surge violently. Then, one after another, crimson points of light suddenly rose slowly in the bush, like countless blood-colored fireflies. Benjamin couldn't count them, and an ominous red light enveloped the entire cavern.
The spiritual coercion that spread all over the country disappeared, but the three of them invariably felt a trace of strangeness in their hearts.
"Oh no, yes...... It's the ancestral spirit that has been awakened, Lord Benjamin, let's get out of this place!" the young man suddenly spoke, shouting loudly.
Benjamin was unmoved.
Ancestral Spirit ...... The souls of those who came before them?
Looking at this posture, they seem to be very different from ordinary ghosts, a bit powerful, but Benjamin doesn't plan to escape. He came for the ancestral spirit, how could he just wake up the other party from his slumber and turn around and run away?
Looking at those red points of light, he could vaguely feel that in each point of light, there was a chaotic and brutal will.
There was an extremely angry emotion coming from the point of light, as if someone had been suddenly woken up from a peaceful sleep, and even a silent roar could be felt.
"Yes...... Be...... Who dares to trespass on the forbidden land of my clan?" Then, an illusory and gloomy voice suddenly reverberated from everyone's heart.
The two siblings couldn't help but tremble a little, and even Benjamin showed a look of surprise.
...... Able to speak?
Those priests and elders who have been dead for an unknown number of years, the remnants of their spiritual power are gathered, and they can even give birth to a clear self-will, and even have the ability to communicate. It's not an easy thing to do.
"My name is Benjamin, who are you?" asked Benjamin as he dissipated the elemental storm as he thought for a moment.
This way of communicating is really weird. The sound was piercing the soundproof puck and sounding directly from his head, but it was not the same as the feeling of the system speaking. However, because the other party chose to communicate rather than do it, he also decided to talk about it first.
He wondered, what was it that he was talking about?
"I am the ancestral spirit of the Sea Clan, born from the souls of countless ancestors, who have served the goddess for generations and cleansed all sins from the world. The voice replied, "Benjamin...... Tell me, why are you trespassing on my forbidden land?"
When Benjamin heard this, his heart moved.
This ancestral spirit seems to be a little confused?
After thinking about it, he asked again, "So, did you set up the illusion on the island outside?"
The voice said, "What illusion? I've been sleeping in this place, and I've only woken up seven times in thousands of years." Besides, you haven't answered my question, why are you trespassing on the forbidden land?"
It seems to be starting to get a little impatient because it's been diverted from the subject. The scarlet light that floated above the magma suddenly became agitated at that moment, as if it might pounce at any moment.
"We broke in by accident. Benjamin hurriedly reassured, "Because of the illusion on the island, we lost our way, walked and walked, and somehow came to this place. ”
"The gate of the forbidden land is obviously guarded, how did you stray into here?"
Benjamin immediately put on a blank look and asked, "Is there anyone? We didn't meet it, maybe the guards were derelict in their duties." ”
The two siblings stood aside, their eyes wide, stunned for a moment to see how Benjamin opened his eyes and said nonsense.
“...... Well, if it's just a mistake, I can forgive you for trespassing on the forbidden grounds. The voice was silent for a moment before slowly, "However, you must get out of here within ten minutes, or I will punish you as well." ”
Benjamin didn't answer immediately, but touched his chin.
This...... What to do?
To be honest, the current situation is actually quite weird. Zu Ling was still talking to them kindly, and said that he had no idea about the illusion outside. However, the two siblings had already confirmed that the illusion shrouded in the island was something created by the elder with the help of the power of the ancestral spirit.
Is it really unaware? Or is this will, born from the countless dead, actually just a product born by chance, without even the knowledge of the elders, and not a "ancestral spirit" in the true sense of the word?
Possible...... It just thinks of itself as an ancestral spirit guarding this place?
Thinking of this, Benjamin suddenly spoke: "Lord Zuling, my clan is in trouble, please help." ”
"What's going on, what's going on?" the voice asked immediately.
"The enemy attacked our altar and took the whole village. Now the last bit of our clan's strength is surrounded by the enemy not far outside, and I ask Lord Zu Ling to take action and destroy them all. ”
"This ...... But I couldn't leave this place. ”
"Isn't my people going to perish?" said Benjamin at once in a mournful tone.
The voice suddenly fell silent, and did not say a word.
It was silent for a while before it spoke again and said slowly, "There is only one way for me to leave here, and that is to take out the soul heart from under this magma. My power is attached to it, and if it takes me to the battlefield, I can destroy all the enemies that invade. ”
When Benjamin heard this, his heart moved.
“...... Lord Ancestral Spirit, how could I possibly have been able to fall into the lava?" he then complained, "If I get a little closer, I will almost be roasted, how can I obtain the Soul Heart for Lord Ancestral Spirit?"
The voice replied, "I can separate the scorching magma." ”
As it spoke, there was a sudden surge of magma below, and then a large hole slowly opened in it. A wide passage about a few dozen meters deep emerged from it, and then, Benjamin seemed to see something reflecting the light inside.
Soul Heart......
To be honest, he had no idea what it was, and the situation was completely beyond his expectations. However, he felt that it was a good opportunity.
"Did you detect anything?" he asked inwardly towards the system.
"It was like a stone, and the terrifying spiritual power was condensed in it. The system's tone was inexplicably a little disgusted, "To be honest, I didn't expect this kind of thing to exist in the world, what the hell." ”
Benjamin was a little speechless.
Compared to a stone that has condensed a lot of spiritual power, or is the system itself more in line with the evaluation of "what the hell"?
However, he didn't bother to say anything more. The system doesn't seem to find anything wrong, and this soul heart is obviously a very precious existence, if you can get your hands on it and bring it back to the academy, you will definitely be able to study a lot of things.
Therefore, he took control of the soundproof ice hockey puck and divided a new puck for the two siblings, which stopped above the cave. He himself was alone, and under the protection of the ice, he slowly flew downward.
