446 The Awakened Ghost of the Earth?
The most powerful dragon power!
Bowen finally knew why this man was called the most powerful Lord of Thorns in history. At this moment, under those pair of scarlet pupils, he felt an unparalleled oppressive force, accompanied by viscous air, pouring into his nasal cavity, making him almost out of breath.
The crushed tentacle also felt Ian's strength, and instantly retracted into the pool. The other six corpses also began to sink, and Green grabbed two corpses with quick eyes, not letting the tentacles drag them down directly. Bowen and Manhe reacted and did the same with Green. In this way, all the hunters are protected.
The rest of the tentacles were not as fierce as they had reacted before, and after noticing that it would be difficult to drag the hunters underground, they abandoned the move and retracted back into the ground, leaving seven holes. The water in the pool flowed into the hole and slowly dried up, exposing the hunters' emaciated bodies to the firelight.
Ian picked up Ivy and wrapped her body in her robe. Then he reached out to probe her snort, and when he felt the little warmth coming from his nose, Ian couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Hurry up and look at the others. Ian shouted, "Maybe someone is still alive." ”
Bowen and Green immediately complied. But unfortunately, except for Ivy, who still has some faint vitality, the rest of the people's corpses have been ossified, and they have obviously been dead for a long time. In this way, the fire of joy that was not easy to rise in Ian's heart was extinguished by reality in an instant.
The crusade squad is over.
"There are only seven people here. Bowen laid the six bodies flat on the ground, looked at each of them, and said, "With the seven people who died on the third floor and the three of us, it means that there should be three more people who survived." The bodies that have not yet been found are Lord Greg, Torre Felton, and Barlow Stuart. ”
"Actually, only two survived. Green said, "You missed Barton." ”
"Yes, there are only two. Bowen nodded, "But there are three people missing, and counting the broken corpse we found earlier, the number is just right." The two who survived were two of the three, and I was more inclined to Mistress Greg and Torre Felton, as Barlow had been seriously injured before. Then the gnawed corpse should be his. ”
Ian ignored Bowen and Green's conversation. All of his energy was now focused on Ivy, who had lost a lot of blood and perhaps some kind of toxin, and his lips were unhealthy black-purple, resulting in extremely weak vitality. But other than that, Ian couldn't see anything, he wasn't Nicole after all, and the only people in the team who could see a doctor were probably only the dead Hilt and Barton who betrayed everyone.
"Get out of the way, I'll take a look at it. Manhe leaned in front of Ian, grabbed Ivy's hand, and began to take the pulse.
Ian was stunned, he had almost forgotten Manher. The dwarves have long been known for their alchemy and healing!
"Gotta save her. Ian whispered.
"I'll do my best, but you'd better be quiet for now. ”
Ian didn't dare to speak, just stared straight at Ivy's face, expecting the latter to open his eyes, though he also knew it was unlikely. A quarter of an hour later, Manhe let go of Ivy's hand and came to the same conclusion as Ian.
Excessive blood loss.
"Her body is already very weak. "She should have died a long time ago, and I don't know why she has survived until now, probably because of willpower." But if she wants to live, I'm afraid she needs a stronger consciousness. ”
Ian's lips were dry. Another meaning of Manhe's words is that they have nothing to do with Ivy but pray that she will survive, and that's it.
"Can't you do something?" begged Ian, "a little bit will do." ”
"All we can do is try to keep her from catching a cold. "There's really no other way than what you're doing." We don't have any herbs to replenish her blood, it's all providential. ”
Ian understood what Manhe meant, and sat down on the ground exhausted. The scarlet color in his eyes slowly receded, returning to a dull black.
"Trust her. Bowen whispered, "She's survived until now, and she won't die so easily." ”
Ian nodded and said nothing more.
"Anyway, where the hell is this. Green started a new topic, "Isn't it, why is there a bathtub?"
"It's a hot spring, not a bath. "There has always been warm water in this pool, and the flame on the statue has never been extinguished, and it has been twenty years." ”
Ian frowned, "How is this possible?" ”
"But that's just the way it is, I've been bathing here a lot for twenty years. Manhe shrugged, "I don't really understand the principle either, after all, it was designed thousands of years ago." Later, I accidentally lured the two little ones inside, and they never came again. ”
"What's down there?" Bowen asked, "the tentacle." ”
"The devil knows what it is. Manhe smiled bitterly, "Do you think I would have dared to come here to take a bath if I had known that there was such a monster down there?" ”
"Did you want to bring Hilt here?" Ian asked, "Let him come to the pool?"
"yes, this is no ordinary hot spring. Manhe nodded, "It can expel the cold and death in the body, and thousands of years ago, the dwarven warriors before the expedition would soak in this pool all night to ensure that the elves were abundant the next day." ”
"Quirky place. Bowen looked at Ian, "What do you think?" ”
Ian was silent for a long time, and then said softly, "Blood sacrifice." ”
"Huh?" everyone was stunned.
"Forget it, the existence of the Iliad, which rivals the god. "I'm starting to understand the purpose of the royal family. They want to summon, and maybe even control. Once successful, they will not need hunters to lead the Terrans against the apocalypse. ”
It's all through, it's all through.
The reason why they don't kill them is because they want their blood, which is used to summon the so-called. This pool was the place where sacrifices were offered.
Well, the owner of the tentacle just now, if nothing else.
That's it.
"It's awakened. Ian said softly.
