Chapter 177: The One-Eyed Ogre
In the Mystic Lock, there are the remains of the Serpent Resurrection Cult, where there is a larger idol of the Serpent King, Valak, and there are many more sacrificial bones of the faithful.
As mentioned in the Witch Notes that remained, it is speculated that the Resurrection of the Serpent has a deep relationship with the hallucinatory mirror image formed by the Lost Lock.
The source of the power of the pseudo-god is likely to come from the Mystic Lock, but the wizard's notes are not certain, and another possibility cannot be ruled out, the King of the Serpent, Valak, who uses his own power to give the Mystery Lock the ability to produce hallucinatory mirrors......
This is a problem that even official wizards have not figured out, and the half-elves have not bothered to think about it.
Each stone staircase is carved with mystical religious symbols, as well as a variety of demagogic prayers, similar to a variation of the lingua franca, 'Praise be to Valak, the king of the serpent, who is the only true God.' ''Praise to Sylbastin, who rules the Styx of death, and raises the dead......
The huge snake-headed human statue of the human god, against the backdrop of a little beating fire, the dense eyes engraved on it, there is a kind of intimidating and chilling feeling.
At the foot of the statue of the snake-headed human deity, there is also a dark red dry pool, and next to it are common words such as 'offering sacrifices' and 'entering the gate of eternal life'.
I don't know if these believers used this pool to drain the blood of others, or sacrificed their own lives.
Loki saw the remnants of a rotting wooden box in a nearby corner, and a pile of dirt and dust could not hide a metallic color.
It turned out that the bag of so-called treasure brought out by the shadow thieves before was picked out of this filth.
There were also a lot of copper and some belongings, and according to some traces, this decaying wooden box did not look like it was used for treasures, but more like the believers threw all their clothes and belongings in it before they died.
After the decay of time, everything else has rotted into sludge and dust, and only some metal coins and jewelry are well preserved, in short, they are all items left behind by the dead believers.
The half-elf frowned, checking that there were indeed no traps nearby, after all, he couldn't resist the temptation of wealth, and leaned over to pick out some valuable gold and silver coins.
A small pocket is full, and most of the fine gold and silver jewelry is there, and the gold coins are probably less than two hundred, and the silver coins occupy a larger weight, and as for some rusty copper coin jewelry, there is little value in carrying it.
The money may be a bit dirty, but it's a lot more than the reward for the quest itself.
Suddenly, Loki felt a chill in his skin, not a drop in temperature, but a chill from the blood, and even the optic nerve was imaged, with some slightly blurred images......
There are several different voices in the consciousness, "Cursed is ill-gotten gains......
"This is my money, the money given to Him, the money to buy the road to bless my eternal life, and no one can take it......"
"Bless my child, little Jack, to come back alive from the River Styx, and dedicate my life and money to the supreme Lord Sylbastian Warak. ”
"Master, the coarse memory space is affected by an unknown state, and it is suspected that some wave-like signals are actively communicated, and the brain signals are actively communicated, leaving redundant information ......"
Curse?Loki gritted his teeth, it was more like a ghost, because he took the money, and the obsessive cultist undead came to find him.
"Ultron, use the method of dealing with the curse last time, establish a blank panel of the dead loop, and convert the received consciousness information into words, all of which are blocked in the dead loop. ”
"Executing, Master. ”
The cold, piercing sensation disappeared, and some of the abnormal effects on the optic nerve image disappeared.
The surroundings returned to calm, only a few 'click~click' sounds were heard, and several white bones in the Mass hall invariably shattered into powder.
In the memory storage space, the newly established Endless Loop text panel, which used to display a bunch of messy text, has now completely stopped.
Is there really an undead soul in this world, or an obsessive soul?
Some adventurers also swore that there were people in the ruins of ancient tombs who fought with bony racks with weapons in their hands. There are also bards who make up horrific tales of the undead, often sung along with tales of demons and witches.
Many things can only be doubted, not blindly denied, because everything is possible......
Loki has always been a rational person, but after experiencing some strange phenomena in this world, of course he knows that many things cannot be explained by one-sided science.
Although this cult stronghold is old, it is not necessarily safe, and there is not much of value, so there is no need to stay here long.
The half-elf cleaned up and left the Mass hall, carrying a heavy bag of belongings and jewelry, up the circular corridor.
He hadn't gone far enough when he heard a lot of movement from the stone chamber above.
With the footsteps of the basic stealth technique, the half-elf cautiously probed forward, and found that there was a group of gnolls and brutes back in the stone room, and there were more than twenty of them, which was really a lot.
And among them, there is also an unusually tall and fat figure, two ordinary people tall, a cut taller than a gnolls of about two meters, and their appearance is also significantly different from that of gnolls.
The giant had a hideous and ugly appearance, with two upward fangs protruding from its lower jaw, and the most obvious feature was the one-eyed on the ugly face.
'One-eyed ogre', the half-elf has heard some adventurers mention, this is the nightmare of ordinary adventurer warriors, even if they are first-order professionals with a tendency to strength, they are not willing to fight this kind of monster head-on.
This is the full picture of the Jackal colony, and the ogre cooperates with this group of gnolls to drive out the previous group of gnolls and occupy the nearby jungle.
Blocked inside the ruins, with the keen sense of smell of the jackals, the half-elves will definitely not be able to leave quietly.
The one-eyed ogre's face was bright red, and he was munching on the remains of an adventurer, and the other gnolls were also eating, and they didn't spare even the corpses of their own kind.
It must not be negotiable, Loki took out all the crossbow arrows first, and carefully examined the steel crossbow.
One-eyed ogre, strength ≥ 2.9, agility ≤ 1.1, and constitution ≥ 2.5.
Spatial visual images, a little collection of the other party's movements, simple speculation of some data, after all, this kind of monster is different from humans, there are likely to be some errors in the calculation, and it is impossible to detect more abilities.
If you are an adventurer who is not agile enough, even if it is a whole adventure group, you may become food for him when you encounter an ogre.
What's more, there are still a large number of gnoll brute soldiers, each carrying weapons of different lengths, which can be described as very difficult.
