Chapter 663: Demon Temple
Fingers touch the cracks on the stone pillars, a little force can crush the patterns on it, probably because of the settlement position of the mechanism near the entrance, the degree of weathering here is very serious, the internal structure of the entrance is no longer clear to see the original appearance, only a few load-bearing pillars are still standing tenaciously, the patterns on it are also completely blurred, Kailot originally wanted to see if there are any ancient characters and other descriptions on it, these years of consulting and research, in terms of ancient characters, he can actually call himself an expert if he is thick-skinned.
The tide followed the example of Kailott and stretched out its claws to scratch on the pillar, it didn't care whether it would destroy the cultural relics, but it just felt that there was a special pleasure in grinding this claw, and it happened that Kailot was about to keep up with the footsteps of August and others, and unexpectedly found that in the lime falling from the planing of the tide, it glowed faintly under the light of the crystal rod in his hand.
The air flowed, the lime was slowly peeled off, and a crushed crystal the size of a tail nail appeared, pinched in his hand, the edge was not as smooth as the surface, the surface was rough, I don't know if it was because the energy was exhausted and it became like this, or it was just shaved by the tide.
"David, let's go!"
There was a white light coming back from the front, and Leckolin's voice didn't have any light source under the sand, so he had to rely on his own equipment to illuminate it.
Pinch the crushed spar in the palm of his hand and follow, go inside, really come into contact with this ruins, Kailott found that this place is not simple, from the entrance where the settlement platform is located, the first thing to walk in is a passage, there is no underground ruins imagined cramped and narrow, but spacious enough to accommodate nearly eight people to walk side by side, Kailot walked in the middle of the back position, through the lights of the first few people, but also noticed the statues on both sides of the passage, the appearance of statues in the ruins is reasonable, generally in the form of a human, some kind of worshiped beast or the shape of a demonic beast, but the statues here, most of them are actually sheep-headed statues and snake-headed statues。
"Auguste, this is a demonic ruin? you know what I mean...... The Soul Slayer actually chose to seal the demon here?"
Before Kailott spoke, Basha expressed the same doubts as him, the demonic ruins they saw now, in the era before the Dark Ages, were most likely sacrificial temples dedicated to demons, like churches controlled by the Sunley Sect!
"Regarding this, the content of the mission briefing I received is just to follow the team of the Holy Grail Warriors to find this sealing place, release the demons in it and sign a contract with him, these details are not important, continue to walk, since the soul slayers of the Dark Ages dare to seal the demons in such a place, they must have their own considerations. ”
did not make any clear explanation, August is the captain of this operation, his right to speak is naturally the greatest, everyone quickly quieted down again, and Kailot, who was standing behind, was also recalling the content of his chat with Konstantin at this time, he clearly remembered that Konstantin would tell himself some stories about the demon seal incident in his family book when he was idle, and vaguely mentioned the choice of sealing place.
At the end of the Dark Ages, because of the retreat of the giant tide, the external pressure was greatly reduced, and the human race began to turn its attention to the internal chaos, and the free-handed professionals destroyed or sealed the demons under the leadership of the soul slayer, leaving only some demons in special areas or with special abilities that were difficult to solve。
If you want to destroy this kind of demon, it is unrealistic to simply send a team of soul killers to encircle and suppress them, they often have a large number of fanatic teams under them, and in the past, not to mention who surrounds whom, even if the team of soul killers is strong enough, they are not afraid of the encirclement of these humans, and forcibly kill the demons, the result of this is definitely not what they want to see.
Because the fanatics of the demons would definitely sacrifice their own victories to protect the gods in their hearts, and in the end, the demons died, and the people of this area were almost dead......
Therefore, when facing this kind of demon, the soul slayer will carry out a targeted infiltration demon seal, directly sealing the demon in the place where they exist and creating the illusion that the demon is sleeping and accumulating power.
There are several advantages to this: First, the fanatics of the demons will not have any doubts about the message sent by the demons, and when they know that the gods they worship are asleep and ask for protection, these people will 100% stop all the work they are doing to take the first place, which prevents the spread of the cult.
Second, without the support of demonic powers, those who want to gain the favor of demons and those who are less bewitched by demons will undoubtedly choose to leave, and the influence of the cult will continue to decrease, and eventually it will become an organization that can be controlled.
Third, when the spirit exterminators were sealed, they considered that there was a high probability that there would be evil forces to fight the attention of these demons in the future, and it was very likely that it would be difficult to protect them enough by relying on the seals.
Thinking of this, Kylot quickly realized that this temple might not be as peaceful as it seemed, and took a sip of the Pure Divine Juice to cheer up, and let the tide hold the illuminated crystal rod, walking behind alone to silently reload the judgment and judgment, but did not have any intention of reminding the people in front of him.
"Stop, there's a fork in the road. ”
As a possible sacrificial temple, the internal structure is naturally not ugly, and when the passage enters, it immediately separates from the two sides, and the middle is not a wall, but a stone slab that extends out.
"Judging from the marks on the ground, Les must have passed from this side. ”
The traces of a group of people passing by are easy to identify, under the illumination of the light, there is a lot of sand scattered on the ground, open the positioning, and the red dot on it shows that the front of the crowd should be the location of the aisle.
"There's nothing to choose from, the aisles on both sides lead to the same place, but what's in between......"
The aisles on both sides do not lead in both directions, they only play a role in ensuring the beauty of the building and the diversion of the crowd, and Kailot is more concerned about the middle of the building, taking out a lighting crystal rod from the space scroll, pressing it and throwing it down, and when he arrives here, he doesn't have to worry about whether he will be discovered by Les's group.
As the light of the crystal rod spread out and fell, until it landed, Kailott estimated that it should be about ten meters high, and some iron chains and part of the pillars of the iron cage could be seen in the range lit by the lighting crystal rod, and it was certain that there should be a lot of things under the location of Kailott and the others.
Circumventing the hallway, several people split into two sides for fear of missing important information, and it turned out that Kailot's words were correct, and the two groups finally gathered at the other end of the hallway, and in front of them was a gate nearly three meters high and more than five meters wide.
"This place is certainly not simple, at that time it was not an ordinary force that was qualified to lay floors with this level of stone, you see, on the surface of the masonry there was some blurred color, which should have been a beautiful picture a few decades ago, this place, at least in the room before our eyes, must have stored something very important at that time, and...... This seems to be the middle and upper floors of the building, if it is a temple, the location of the middle and upper floors is the usual place of worship, and there should be statues of worshipped gods, and if you look at this gate, there are dozens of gems inlaid on it, and there are reliefs on these doors..... The wailing of the martyrs, the miserable skeletons of the skeletons, the horns of the male goats, which belong to the typical demonic style, in the ......"
Martin seemed to have a lot of insight in this regard, and his hands caressed the relief on the door, full of satisfaction and obsession.
"Who has time to listen to your nonsense here, if you want to know what's inside, just go in and see it, get out of the way!"
Having no patience to listen to Martin's mysterious words, Lycorin pushed him away, pressing her hands on the door, and suddenly strengthened.
When the door opened, a sour smell came to his face, and thanks to Kylot's preparation, as soon as he smelled the smell, he lit himself a herb cigar, and took two steps back, wanting to wait for the smell to dissipate before entering.
But the others didn't want to wait, they went inside with the smell, before Martin's words everyone listened to more or less in their ears, this place is very important in the ruins, no one can guarantee whether there will be some good things stored in it, although everyone is an unpaid task this time, but this opportunity to make extra money, no one wants to give up.
Kailot was the last to enter the door, and the people who entered in front of him unexpectedly did not rummage around, but they all stopped at the door, leaned up to take a look, and Kelot's movements also stopped unconsciously.
Martin was not wrong, this room is indeed the sacrificial place of the temple, in the center of the room stands a statue more than five meters high, the upper body of the stone sculpture is hidden in the dark, and the lower body is two thick beast thighs, divided into two sides, and the clothes on the legs are similar to robes.
This is not a reason for everyone to stop, no one is interested in the thighs of the demon statue, well~ Martin may be an exception, but everyone's eyes are actually focused on what the statue holds in the hands hanging beside him, the statue's right hand is stretched out, and a dull necklace hangs around it, and he wears a less conspicuous ring on his index and middle fingers, and his left hand is placed at his side, holding a dark golden sword with the tip of the sword embedded in the stone seat, but it hangs there.
Treasure!
The people present are not newcomers who have just embarked on the path of professionals, this statue is very likely to be the embodiment of the demon's sermon, how can the things that can be placed on this kind of statue be mortal, each swept with spiritual power, these things are all magical equipment!
Three treasures, six people here, how to divide them? Will he rashly go up and take them to arouse the disgust of others, and then be besieged? Auguste, as the strongest person in the team, what if he wants to swallow it alone, watching from the side?
The atmosphere became stiff and embarrassing for a while, in the end, their group of people has no emotional foundation, to say something ugly, it is really at a critical moment, it is not uncommon to stab a knife in the back, this kind of loose alliance, the most afraid is that there will be a heart-warming wealth before the goal is achieved,
"Don't even think about it, whoever dares to move the things on the statue, whose life I want! Les's team walked ahead of us, there must be a reason why they didn't move the things here, no one is allowed to think about it, the first goal is to complete the task!"
Auguste's meaning is very clear, now if these things start to fight, it is impossible for the people present not to have some casualties, and it is also a strange phenomenon that Les and the others did not touch these treasures, there are so many doorways in the cult temple, and if they rush to take out something, no one can pay the responsibility, and simply destroy everyone's minds!
"Look at the signals on the locators, they overlap with ours!"
"Their location is below us, there must be a passage down this place, complete the task first, and then discuss the ownership of these treasures!"
Bazaar didn't seem to be very interested in the treasure, observing the locator, Martin made a judgment based on his own experience, and when it came to this, no matter how much anyone thought about the treasure, it was inevitably a little ignorant.
On the side, Kailot's eyes turned to Basha and Martin, and then to Beard, who had not spoken, and continued to remain silent.
The passage to the lower floor is not difficult to find, this itself is a former place of sacrifice, and it is not a secret room, the passage was built without the meaning of hiding at all, just on the side of the stairs on the inside of the room, the spiral stone staircase, judging from the footprints above, there are indeed people who have walked not long ago.
"Hurry up and find Les and the others first. ”
Speeding up, the group went down the stairs, turned two corners, and reached a new level, but the stone stairs still went down.
"There should be several layers, the footprints have not stopped here, and they are still going down, keep walking!"
I just walked down nearly a hundred steps, and finally reached the bottom of the stone staircase, and what I saw in front of me was...... Empty stone chambers.
"What's going on, there's nothing, and the footprints are gone to the last step!"
Martin tried to confirm the whereabouts of Les and the others with his footprints, but his gaze was off the last staircase and looked ahead, but the floor of the stone chamber in front of him was still covered with dust.
"They're hiding?"
"Impossible, if there are people who hide their whereabouts, don't leave footprints when you go downstairs directly, don't you have to take them to this last floor to start hiding?
"What about positioning, look at where they are. ”
"Gone!"
I don't know when the red dot on the base station has disappeared!
"What now?"
"Find, so many people, it is impossible for the world to evaporate!
The target vanished, and August's face suddenly darkened.
