"Click, click", when the first step into the temple door began, all the sounds outside disappeared, the wind, sand, the clashing of bones, the wails of ghosts, the chanting of corpse witches, and even the spitting of the bone dragons when they breathed death, all of which disappeared, and the temple seemed to be in another world, where everything outside could only be seen, but no sound was transmitted in.

The temple was surprisingly quiet, echoing only the sound of clicking footsteps, the surrounding was pitch black, the cold light from outside the temple door penetrated far away, through the outside light can be vaguely seen, this is a long corridor, the end of the corridor into a deep darkness, like a giant python with its mouth open and waiting for its prey, ready to close its jaw and swallow the prey into its belly. Focusing on the senses, you can feel a slight wind blowing from the inside of the temple, and the small breeze is wrapped in the smell of decay, which makes people smell extremely uncomfortable.

"It's dark. "It's terrifying" The winged people put their arms together, their bodies pressed tightly against each other, with a slight tremor in their voices, they were only children at the age of the winged people, and the fear of the dark and unknown instincts was the nature of children, no matter how strong the individual was, they could not fight against such instincts: "It feels like there's something in it." "Can we not go in." "We're scared. "I really want to get out of here. ”

"Two cowards. Christo laughed loudly at the trembling sisters in a sharp voice, but the pace of his feet increased slightly, and his body inadvertently blocked in front of the two girls, but his mouth was still laughing and said: "I'm still afraid of the dark, do you have to lie in my mother's arms at night to sleep, hahahaha, oops." ”

The twin sisters casually withdrew the foot that kicked the goblin calf at the same time, and said with a smug smile: "Stupid little carat." "You dare to laugh at us. "Forget last year when you were swallowed by a python from the Forest of Death. "Your pants were wet when I pulled you out. "I must have been so scared that I peed my pants. ”

"Nonsense, I was wet all over that time. Christo retorted angrily: "How many more times do you want me to say, that's the digestive juices and blood of that python, it's not that I peed my pants at all, don't you understand the lingua franca?"

"The three of you are in trouble. Nelly sighed and motioned for the three to look at Kyle. The three men in the noise tilted their heads to see Kyle facing the wall, rubbing his chin and not knowing what he was thinking.

"Maya. As if he was sure of something, Kyle suddenly turned around and startled the three people who were staring at him, "There is no biological breath here, so it's unlikely that there is anything sensitive to light, let's give us a light." ”

"No problem. Maya, who had white wings, responded crisply, clapped her hands, and whispered, "God said, let there be light." ”

And then there was light, and a soft glow instantly lit up, illuminating the long passage. No one knows where the light comes from, there is no light source around, the light seems to appear out of thin air, with Maya as the center evenly distributed around everyone, the light and even the brightness in all directions are the same, so that everyone in the passage does not even have a shadow.

The soft light illuminates the long passage, and you can see that the walls of the passage are carved with dense and simple patterns, not so much patterns, but some words that look like patterns, although the meaning is unknown, but from the arrangement and font of these words, you can still feel a burst of solemnity and solemnity.

This is a text used by the gods to communicate with the gods during ceremonies. Mina stood beside Kyle, looking at the curving text on the wall, and said, "Among the gods, only the members in charge of festivals and ceremonies use this kind of writing, and if there is no such position, even the strongest among the gods will not know it, so it can be said that it is the highest level of the priesthood's writing." I remember that at the end of the mythological age, it was indeed popular for a time when this sacrificial inscription was engraved at the entrance of the temple. ”

"Keep looking inside. Kyle squinted at the writing on the wall and said in a deep voice, "I think we're probably going to really have to talk to this Grim Reaper Danacus this time, Lady Mina, are you sure Danakus has really fallen?"

"I'm pretty sure. Mina nodded seriously: "Because it was witnessed by one of my elders, the seventeen strongest of the gods joined forces to fight him, including Loki, who was the leader of the strongest of the supreme. Danacus and his fanatics had been fighting for nine days and nights on the plains of Minel, and in the last two days he was gradually weakened, so he used the main hall of his temple as a medium to absorb the power offered by all the believers, and his fanatical followers were turned into dried corpses. But even so, he was defeated in the end, and the kingdom of God collapsed, and he fell, and even his temple sank under the ground that collapsed during the battle, and was never seen again. ”

And so. Kyle pouted inside the temple, "It showed up today." ”

"Yes, today it appeared. Mina's smile hidden under the hood was a little bitter: "Since the temple appears here, and it seems to be restored to good condition, it proves that our previous conjecture is wrong, we are probably not just facing a fragment of the soul, we are likely to face a weakened soul head-on." This is my mistake, I should take responsibility, we still have a certain chance of winning in the face of the Divine Soul Fragment, but in the face of a weakened Divine Soul, our odds are probably ......."

"Is it low?" Kyle asked, clasping his hands over his chest and tilting his head deliberately.

"Yes, it's low. Mina said, "So I hope this raid ends here, and you immediately return to the Death's Gate, from where you can return to our world, and then work together to seal the Death's Door." ”

"And then, what about you?" Kyle asked with a faint smile, "Shall we run away and leave you alone to face that frail spirit?" I remember that we had vetoed this proposal before, and we weren't so cold-blooded as we watched a lady sacrifice her life for the sake of our world, while we did nothing ourselves. So, on the topic of leaving, Ms. Mina, you should not mention it again, I don't think that we people have come to this point, and some people will retreat because they are afraid of death. ”

"However, the situation is different. Mina, the battle dragon, said anxiously, "The danger is ...... now."

"Needless to say, Lady Mina, the situation is no different. Kyle interrupted Mina's persuasion with a wave of his hand, and said calmly, "Even when we gathered before, I didn't plan to face the Soul Fragments, this kind of risky activity, only by preparing for the worst, can we deal with any eventuality." I want to ask you, do you think that our demigods in the Fourth Age are very weak compared to the strongest among the gods back then?"

"I'm not as good as Loki, and you're not as good as a few of the leaders of the Supreme, but the gap isn't huge. Mina thought for a while, and replied directly without concealment: "Your strength should be in the top fifty among the strongest." ”

"That's right. Kyle nodded, "Seventeen of them can join forces to defeat the intact Danakus and his fanatical followers, and the thirteen of us join forces, do you think it is still better than a crippled and lonely divine soul that no longer even exists in the kingdom of God?"

"I didn't say it. Mina smiled bitterly and said, "After that battle that year, only six of the seventeen strongest people among the gods survived, and one of them was seriously injured, and there was no hope of regaining the strength of his heyday. ”

"Hehe, that's their choice. Kyle chuckled, "Just like now, it's our own choice." Besides, do you think I will take everyone to death without making any preparations? Although everyone is not afraid of death, if I would be so rash and let everyone accompany me to die, why should I be a perfect person?"

"Do you have any other preparations?" Mina was stunned for a moment, feeling a little incredulous, after Kyle interviewed her, he turned around and gathered a large number of combat forces, which she still had mental preparations in advance, but she really didn't expect that after summoning the most powerful force on the Yara continent, Kyle would actually make other preparations, just like really predicting the current difficulties in advance, nothing would be difficult for him, could there really be someone in the world who could be perfect? Mina's heart was a little uncertain for a while.

"Of course, there are other preparations, and when I go on an adventure, I never put all the water in the same backpack. With a reassuring smile on his face, Kyle bowed to Vrard's chest, "Your Majesty, please." ”

With a smile that would make flowers bloom, Vral cautiously took out a slender box less than a meter long from his backpack, and countless magic circles were depicted on the surface of the box, which was extremely precious.

"Hundred-layer box?" Mina was stunned and said in surprise, "Could it be...... Some kind of artifact?"

Vral nodded with a smile and gently opened the lid of the hundred-layer box, the space in the box was very narrow, only an ordinary-looking feathered arrow was lying quietly in the box.

"The arrow of the goddess of hunting, it turns out that this arrow is kept in the hands of the elves. Mina took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "After the end of the Third Age, our guardian clan is still speculating whether this artifact still exists in the mortal world, yes, it should have been thought of a long time ago, and the three feather arrows made by the goddess of gathering and hunting herself naturally hope to remain in the hands of her favorite elves." ”

The Arrow of the Goddess of Hunt is an artifact made by the goddess in charge of gathering and hunting, although it is only a one-time weapon, but the power is very amazing, after the feather arrow is shot, it will inevitably hit the target, and ignore any defense, whether it is armor or shield, can not bring any impact to the arrow of the goddess of hunting. The goddess of the hunt ran out of materials and eventually only made five, two of which were used up in the battle of the gods at the end of the Third Age, and achieved amazing results, shooting the two most important sons of the orcs in the most critical battle, and it can be said that the two arrows rewrote the pattern between the elves and the orcs. However, when the war of the gods ended, the gods no longer set foot in the mortal world, and the remaining three arrows were never seen again, and most people believed that those three arrows had been carried back to her kingdom by the goddess of hunting, and would never appear in the mortal world again, but they did not expect to see one of them here today.

"I swear by this. Kyle said solemnly to Vrard, "I will never reveal anything about this arrow to anyone, and I will always keep it a secret." ”

The others also reacted at the same time, and solemnly made vows in turn. Everyone understood that since this arrow had been brought by Vral and was intended to be used in this battle, it no longer mattered whether it was kept secret or not, but the existence of the remaining two arrows. The Elves have sealed the news of this artifact for thousands of years, and naturally it is intended to be the ultimate weapon that will only be used at the most critical moment. Now that the elves are willing to contribute one of them for the sake of the Yara world, they have already made a great sacrifice, and if the news about the remaining two arrows spreads, it will be very sorry for the elves' intentions.

"With this arrow, the win rate can be increased by at least 20 percent. A smile finally appeared on the corner of Ms. Mina's mouth, and she sighed lightly, "I have to say, you really brought me quite a surprise. ”

"So, Lady Mina, there's nothing more to hesitate about. Kyle pointed to the passage ahead, "Let's go deeper, I feel like the person we're looking for is at the end of the road." ”

Passing through the long passage, two huge stone doors lay across the end of the passage, and there were no patterns on the stone doors, only two lines of words unique to the gods. The difference between these two lines and the gate is no longer a special text for sacrifices, but a special text circulated among high-ranking gods, and Kyle gently read out the text on the door: "Everything is illusory, only death is eternal." ”

"Hehe, interesting. After reading the text on the door, Kyle chuckled and shook his head, "It sounds like nonsense, if everything is illusory in the end, it is better for everyone to commit suicide immediately after birth, it doesn't make any sense anyway." ”

Mina didn't respond to Kyle's statement, and walked to the huge stone gate, but the humanoid form burst out with the power of a dragon, and two huge stone doors of tens of thousands of kilograms, pushed by Mina's relatively small body, made a creaking sound and slowly opened to both sides. As soon as the gate was opened, the air that was far more polluted than the outside world rushed in, and I don't know how many years of stagnant air was very toxic, and fortunately the group was all demigod bodies, otherwise they would have been poisoned as early as the moment the door was opened.

"Wind. Phila shook off her black robe and coldly spat out a syllable, and a violent wind descended, instantly filling the space behind the stone door, and sweeping away the foul air inside. Instead of rushing through the stone gate, they stood patiently at the door, waiting for the wind to dissipate the filth while looking inside. Behind the stone door is the main hall where every temple exists, where the statues representing the incarnations of the gods are placed, and hundreds of leather cushions are placed around the statues, but now these cushions have long since decayed, and when the wind blows, they turn into a cloud of debris and scatter.

However, everyone found that they were not alone, and there were nearly a thousand people sitting cross-legged on the ground around the statue, most of these people were only skeletons, and only a few remained in the form of dried corpses, which seemed to coincide with the war scene that Mina had just mentioned.

"Are these the fanatical followers of Danacus?" For these nearly a thousand corpses, everyone actually didn't care after seeing them clearly, these corpses didn't have any breath of life, and there was no sign of turning into an undead, they were rare simple corpses in this alien space. Christo took back the crystal gun he had already picked up, wiped the sweat on his palm, and in order to cover up the shame he had just been taken aback, he pretended to be disdainful and said: "It turns out that these believers in the god of death did not become undead after death, and I thought that the god of death attracted believers by promising them to let them become undead after death and continue to live." ”

"It's not them who want to become undead. "That's it, would you like to?" "And you were scared just now. "Don't pretend, we've all seen it. The Wingmen Sisters made a habitual sarcastic attack on Christo, and the Goblin Gunner snorted coldly, and was about to open his mouth to fight back, but was stopped by Kyle's smiling gaze.

"I don't think there's anything good about them turning into undead. Kyle said, "These are the most devout believers in the Church of Danacus, and their power is probably relatively strong, so they provide power to the gods who have been chosen, and if they become undead, there may be how many demigods will be mixed in them." ”

"Rest assured, there are no signs of turning into an undead. "Vral stood up from the side of a corpse, as a life god creator of the elves, most of their bodies are full of life attribute energy, very sensitive to the undead, basically Vral is sure that there is no death energy, then they must be ordinary corpses. Vral thought for a moment and confirmed again: "In this layer above the ground, it is basically certain that there is no death energy, but there is an energy barrier in the underground part, which cannot be perceived, and you can only know if you go down." ”

"In that case, it will be much easier. Kyle said calmly, "Let's search this level first, and then explore the basement level." In order to hurry up, there are a total of thirteen people, Maya Yaya, the two of you are one person, let's go in groups of three, explore this temple separately, once we encounter special circumstances, use the agreed frequency to switch the field, and the others will go over to support as soon as possible. Do you have any comments on this arrangement?"

"No comments. Christo was the first to say, "But how do you group them?"

"The others are grouped on their own, as for you. Kyle smiled a little wickedly, "You're naturally going to be in a group with Maya and Dilly." ”

"It's not fair. Christo's screams echoed through the temple, "I don't want to be with them." (To be continued.) )
