Chapter 161: The Altar of the End
The reason why the Blood Sacrifice cultists become different from ordinary people is because the negative effects produced by the Blood Sacrifice also carry addictions similar to those caused by drug abuse and the negative spiritual power carried by the deceased.

Negative forces affect the Blood Sacrifice caster at all times, making them evil, cruel, and uncontrollable. As a result of sucking the life and blood of the intelligent race, the body of a normal person will be alienated.
However, the dragon bloodline possessed by the egret itself is extremely corrosive, and it can absorb abnormal bloodlines to strengthen itself. The effect is that on the normal body of the egret, some scales that show through the skin gradually begin to grow.
The egret's eyes also began to switch between the human pupil and the snake pupil from time to time. The power of the bloodline has begun to make the magic dragon transformation skills that need to be activated to be used gradually tend to solidify the skills. If the egret continues to use the blood sacrifice of the Holy Plate, I am afraid that it will not be long before the egret will transform into a monster like a corrupted dragon.
Ordinary people are alienated into corrupt dragon species, and their combat power surpasses that of the titled elite, and if the elite of a field is alienated into a corrupt dragon species, I am afraid it will be a real disaster.
For three days, every time night fell, no matter how the mercenaries of the goblin clan defended, they would always be taken away by the egrets and sucked a few people. This method of being unable to resist and secretly attacking and killing scared the mercenaries of the goblin clan one by one. Nested in the base camp of the underground forces, he didn't dare to come out at all.
The egret is like a cunning hunter.
He waited very patiently for the grouped mercenary group to go out, whether it would be a bait, whether there was an ambush, and it was clear at a glance under the detection of the elves.
The egret likes to eat the ambushed elves first, then watch the baits slowly crumble, and then suck them off bit by bit. The more the Holy Disc was used, the more crazy and frightening the Egret's actions became.
This continued until the arrival of O'Hughes.
Celini didn't come with O'Hughes, she needed to organize and lead her people to the shelter. The arrival of O'Hughes made the leader of the mercenary group very excited.
"Lord O'Hughes, you're finally here!"
O'Hughes frowned and looked at the remaining combat power, there were less than twenty goblin clansmen above the title of elite.
"What about the rest?"
"They, they've all been killed. The leader's expression was a little sad. "Lord Oshues, did you really kill the Knight King?"
O'Hughes' eyes narrowed, "What's going on?"
"We've been being attacked these days!According to the communication records of the mercenary who saw the murderer before he died, the murderer was none other than Ambra's knight king Egret!" The leader's face was ugly, and he didn't want to doubt O'Hughes' ability if he could. "Those clansmen were all sucked up by unknown props, just like blood sacrifices!"
"Blood sacrifice?" Oshughes closed his eyes, "It seems that I underestimated the other party, even if I cut off my heart vein, can I rely on the blood sacrifice to recover?"
"How's the plan going, has it been affected?" asked O'Hughes. He didn't mention the egret, but was most concerned about whether the plan could go smoothly.
The leader's face froze, and although he was unwilling to turn to the topic of the egret like this, he could not disobey O'Hughes's question. "Everything is ready. The guy's attacks were all members of the city, and it didn't interfere with the outside exploration of the Temple of the End. ”
"Good. O'Hughes nodded, "Don't be too upset. Sacrifice is essential if you want to complete the plan. They're just leaving early, and when it's all done, we'll catch up with them. ”
The leader knew about it, but the pain of losing his companion was not alleviated. If it weren't for the fact that the current plan was more important, he would definitely do whatever it took to kill the egret.
But now, it is clear that the priority of the task is higher than his own will.
"Now let's go to the altar. O'Hughes didn't want to wait for a moment, and he spoke to the leader.
The leader led the way, and the speed of the two of them was extremely fast, and the altar was not far from the city. In a quarter of an hour, O'Hughes and the leader were standing beside the altar of the End.
It is a stony, monument-like building. It resembles a buttoned eggshell. This is not an ancient building, but a protected building built on ancient ruins. The ruins inside it are not allowed to be entered by tourists.
However, for the goblin clan who have secretly controlled this place, it doesn't matter whether there is this rule or not.
The leader led Oshues into the ruins, and the expressions of both men changed slightly.
"Something is wrong. The leader said, "The mercenaries who were guarding here are gone!"
"There are traces of a fight. O'Hughes frowned and looked at the walls around him, the newly carved marks on them were clearly visible. "It seems that the enemy has already arrived here. ”
The two of them glanced at each other, and their bodies quickly rushed into the ruins.
The Altar of the End Beginning is built on the ruins of the End Beginning, a history that dates back to human sites before the Cataclysm. It is said that it was once the place where six human sages studied and worked.
And the depictions and displays in the ruins seem to illustrate this point. The ruins are carved with frescoes depicting six sages receiving the teachings of the ancient gods and passing on their knowledge to the people.
The two rushed through the passage carved with frescoes and came to the central hall of the ruins. Originally, Kazan had been transformed into a museum-like area, with crystal shields protecting the murals around the perimeter, but now these protections were in tatters, and one of the walls even had a large hole in it.
It was the work of the elven mercenaries, who surveyed for two days before they found this path. Use the explosive order to blow up the wall and break in.
But now it's silent. Even the goblin mercenaries who were guarding here before had disappeared at this moment.
Unfazed, O'Hughes strode into the wide secret passage, but in just a few breaths, O'Hughes and the leader stood in the secret chamber at the end of the passage.
"Sure enough, it's you. O'Hughes sighed. His eyes were fixed on the egret, who was standing in the middle of the secret room, which was very wide, but now it was crowded because of the corpses everywhere.
The egret itself was on its back, and when he heard O'Hughes' words, he turned his head, his eyes were already irreparably turned into snake pupils, and the crimson pupils looked at O'Hughes and the leader, which made people feel a chill in their hearts.
"Yo, you're here. The egret made a strange sound in its throat. It's extremely uncomfortable.
"You're in the dark. Your Excellency the Knight King. Oshughes spoke, "Your hands have been filled with the blood of my people, and even your heart has fallen. ”
"Fallen?" the egret laughed, "What's wrong? People exist for the sake of power, and now I should be worshipped!"
O'Hughes shook his head, "Bye." The Blood Rites gain power in the same way you do, are they worshipped?"
"You're just a wretched creature blinded by power. ”
Bruises erupted on the egret's forehead, and when he heard it in his current state of losing his mind, it was like the most malicious taunt in the world, and his anger soared. His body was like a flash of light, and almost instantly, it turned behind Oshues, and the right hand of the egret pulled out the soul devourer like lightning and slashed it down!
O'Hughes is a master, even if the current Egret has absorbed so much elite flesh and blood, there is still a realm gap with him.
O'Hughes's long sword flickered, and it lightly smeared the knife that the egret had chopped, and with a pull, the egret's attack was missed.
However, at this time, the egret was no longer as fast as he was in the Lost Mountains before, and his killing in the past few days had obviously improved his physical ability a lot.
The egret made an almost impossible movement as his right leg twitched, slicing through the space and kicking out as if teleporting, attacking Oshues sideways directly in the air. This time, even if O'Hughes expected it, his body couldn't dodge such a quick kick, and he was kicked down in the shoulder.
O'Hughes stepped back a few meters, his shoulders a little numb.
"How, master, for me, that's it!" the egret chuckled coldly.
"You seem to have gotten one thing wrong. O'Hughes said lightly, "In the face of a clown like you, I have never used my strength. ”
As he spoke, O'Hughes's figure faded, disappeared for a moment, and then reappeared in place. The egret only felt a chill in his chest, and in his heart, he was shocked to be pierced by O'Hughes.
This is the second time.
The egret's eyes widened, and he looked at Oshues unwillingly, leaning against the wall.
"The gap between you and me is the gap between heaven and earth. O'Hughes said silently, "You are not an immortal, and your lifespan is only a few decades." I, on the other hand, have been frozen since the time of the Cataclysm and were rescued by my people thousands of years ago. Until now, I have only experienced one-fifth of my life. ”
"The skills honed for thousands of years have long gone beyond the narrow skills of human beings. Killing you is just a thought of mine. O'Hughes put away his sword, turned and walked towards the chamber, where a flat surface resembled a console.
On the top of this worktop, there is a small groove in the shape of a circle. O'Hughes seemed to know what this was for, and took out a jade stone from his body that glowed with a milky white light.
"Look at him. O'Hughes arranged for the leader to hold a sword against the egret's neck.
Egret took a mouthful of bloody phlegm, "Why don't you kill me?"
"Kill you? Whether I need to kill you or not, it doesn't matter anymore. O'Hughes sighed, "You will break into this place at the cost of depravity, and as a reward for you, I will tell you what this place is." (To be continued.) )
