The valley was so quiet and peaceful that it was impossible to see that it was a place of death surrounded by the undead. When I chatted with Xiaolu before, I said that the undead used to go in and out of this valley, but since two years ago, whenever she approached this valley, she would feel very frightened and instinctively stay away from here, and she said that other undead without sanity were like her, and none of them had ever approached this place, not even daring to pass through the soul tunnel.

"Two years ago, it happened to be closer to the client's statement. Catherine said cautiously: "Didn't they say that the area controlled by the undead began to expand, and it happened to be about two years, so there must be some connection between the two. ”

The group was walking on the way to the altar of the ancestors. The valley where the altar is located has a strange appearance, and after passing through the soul corridor, you can reach the southern half of the valley. Between the southern and northern halves, there is a cross-sectional ridge that acts like a screen to block the view between the north and south valleys, and must be bypassed from the path on the east side to truly face the ancestral altar.

The five of them didn't ride the wolves anymore, and they didn't even let the silver wolves follow them, and directly left them in the southern half of the valley, and the battle below was probably not something that these few demonic beasts that could not use their fighting qi could participate in, even if they were also gold-level strength. Near the corner of the ridge, everyone sorted out their equipment for the last time, although they knew that someone might still be in danger and needed to be rescued, but everyone had stabilized their mood at this time, after all, they were all experienced adventurers, and everyone knew that if they were not prepared at this time, it would be no different from sending them to death.

Sorting out all her gear and belongings, and making sure that her body had adjusted to the best state she could recuperate, Catherine waved her hand and was the first to walk around the corner, taking in the Northern Valley.

"It's ...... Altar?" Catherine was stunned when she saw the Northern Valley, and she was stunned for a while before she whispered: "The commissioners said that this should be an altar, a square altar carved from marble with a length and width of five meters, but why ...... now?"

"That's not right. Marcia, who was familiar with the customs of the orcs, also saw something that surprised Catherine, and said in a daze: "The orcs are very sure that this should be an altar, but now this thing is definitely not an altar. ”

"Not an altar, of course. Lina sighed and said helplessly: "You don't have to think about it to know, this is obviously a temple, I don't think anyone will say that the temple is an altar, I think there must be some accident." ”

"Look at the top of the temple. Vivien had blessed herself with the Eagle Eye Technique, and she could clearly see the details on the top of the temple fifty meters away: "Do you see a few broken boulders there? If I don't think of a surprise, it's the altar." ”

The three ladies looked at Vivien at the same time, and said with strange expressions, "You mean, this temple...... Did you drill out of the ground?"

Yes, what was unfolding in front of everyone was not the imaginary empty northern valley and the altar in the center, but a temple so large that it took up almost the entire valley. The temple looked strange, with signs of wear and weathering everywhere, but no dirt on the surface. The shape of the temple is unique, and judging from the appearance alone, even with Lina's knowledge of the Church of the Gods or Vivien's knowledge, it is impossible to tell which god it belongs to.

Outside the main entrance of the temple, there should have been a marble-paved devotional journey for devout believers to prostrate and worship, and there should have been huge stone pillars and carvings representing the majesty of the gods on both sides of the devotional path, but these are now gone, and only the temple itself remains. The area of the temple was very large, even far exceeding the area of many temple headquarters today, and according to the current room calculation, it could accommodate at least hundreds of rooms.

"It's unlikely to have come out of the ground. Catherine said with a little hesitation: "Let's not talk about how to make such a large temple inexplicably drill out of the ground, let's just say that the surface of the temple, if it rises from the ground, should be covered with mud everywhere, but now there is no soil at all." ”

"The problem is that there's no dirt at all. Vivien pointed to the temple and said, "If it had been here for a while, there would have been dust on the surface, but now there is not even dust. ”

"It's normal. Lina said very seriously: "Any temple that is activated, whether the gods recognize it or not, as long as there is a connection between it and the gods, it will naturally be shrouded in divine power. This self-enveloping divine power is extremely weak and has almost no effect, but it has one of the best and most attractive effects, that is, the outer walls of the temple will never be polluted with dirt, just like the body of a god will never be stained with dirt. So, the presence or absence of soil doesn't tell the story. ”

"Well, Pannis, you've seen a lot of things, do you think it's ...... here" Catherine turned around and asked in surprise, "Pannis, what's wrong with you?"

It's not the first time the girls have seen Pannis show such a state.

Pannis stood there dumbfounded, his eyes staring at the temple not far away, his face pale, his breathing short, his lips trembling, no, his whole body trembling, just like the expression he had every time he woke up from a nightmare. Pannis's legs were trembling violently, he could barely support his body, large drops of sweat appeared on his cheeks and forehead, and soon fell down his jaw like being splashed with water, and his hair was also soaked with sweat in a short time, wet and sticking to his face, and the dagger in his hand was completely unstable, as if it was about to fall to the ground at any time.

"Pannis, what's wrong with you?" In the minds of the girls, since leaving the weeping cave, Pannis has always understood a little bit of everything, knows a little bit of everything, although he often does some stupid things, but no matter what situation he encounters, he can face it very calmly, except for the nightmare he fears the most, as if he will not be stumped by anything. But now, he obviously did not enter the dream, but he still showed this state, and from his every move, you could feel the fear and madness that came from the depths of his heart.

"Impossible, shouldn't be here, impossible, impossible, impossible, impossible. How is it possible, how can there be no solution, it is impossible, there is a way to solve everything, how can there be such an unsolvable thing, let me think again, let me think again, I am perfect, I am the strongest, there can be no problem that I can't solve, it is impossible. ”

"No, no, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I'm perfect, I'm fearless, I'll never be afraid, no one can make me afraid, what's so terrible about death, I'm a perfect person, I should face death calmly, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I shouldn't be afraid. ”

"I am a sinner, I am a sinner, I am a sinner, she died at my hands, I killed her, it is I, I am guilty. No, no, I'm perfect, I can't be sinful, I can't be wrong, I'm not a sinner, I'm a perfect saint. No, no, I'm not perfect at all, I've never been perfect, everything is a lie, I'm just a weak person who is weak in front of the strong, I'm just an ordinary person who will be afraid, no, I'm not, I'm a perfect saint, a perfect hero, no, I am, I'm an ordinary person, an ordinary person. ”

"I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm afraid, I don't want to face it again, I don't want to go through it again, I'm going to get out of here, I'm going to leave to leave, I'm going to leave. ”

Pannis squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, trembling all over, his mouth talking to himself quickly, and the slurred words made it impossible for anyone to hear what he was saying, and the four ladies could only see that his psychological defenses were becoming more and more confused, and more and more inclined to collapse.

"Pennis, wake me up. Catherine took a deep breath and let out a loud roar. The sentence that was uttered using the knight's warcry skill hit Pennis with powerful shock and attack power, waking him up from the chaos: "What the hell is going on?"

"Go, go, get out of here. Pannisy raised his pale face and said in a hoarse voice, "Go now, don't stay here any longer, leave immediately." ”

"What the hell are you afraid of. Pannis's sudden gaffe caused some strange feelings in the hearts of the ladies as well, but Catherine, still fearlessly, said, "Are you afraid of this temple?

"No, the temple is safe, no, I'm not afraid. Pannis said incoherently, "No, no, I'm afraid, there's no danger, but get out of here, I'm not going to stay here anymore, I'm going to leave now." ”

Catherine's resolute gaze was fixed on Pannis's face, and after a moment she said in a deep voice, "But since you don't want to stay here, why don't you run away?"

"I can't escape, I'm perfect, I'm mentally stopped, I can't escape. Still in a trance, Pannis said in confusion: "I'm not afraid, I won't run away." No, no, I'm scared, I'm leaving. ”

"Okay, I see. Catherine sighed and whispered, "It's impossible to guess what happened to you, but I probably know something. But are you really leaving? We're not going to retreat, so even if you're the only one who retreats, are you going to flee from here?"

"I don't want to go in, I don't want to see this place again, I'm leaving, the farther the better, the farther the better. Pannis's lips trembled.

"Even if you leave us behind?" Catherine asked.

"Run, run. Pannis shouted frantically, "Run now, now." ”

"Then you can leave. Catherine sighed softly, "Goodbye, Pannis." ”

When Pannis heard this, as if relieved, he turned and ran.

"Only those who are willing to reach out and take the hand of salvation will be saved, and none of us will be exempt. Catherine shouted behind Pannis, "If you choose to escape this time, you will never have the courage to redeem again, Pannis." ”

Pannisy paused, looked back at Catherine, hesitated for a few seconds, then resolutely turned his head and continued to run out of the valley, and in the moment he turned back, Pannis's confused gaze seemed to see the pair of eyes again, eyes with sympathy, pity, reluctance, and love, were they Nelly's eyes?

Pannis's speed was fast, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the girls' field of vision, never looking back. (To be continued.) )
