Mexico, pyramids in the jungle.

The local natives have returned to their respective settlements, leaving only traces of their sacrifices in front of the pyramids. There were burning fires, gnawed bones, and some discarded sacrificial items.

This is a sacred place for local tribes, and no one is allowed to enter during normal times. Only on special occasions, such as the annual sacrifice, will the high priest and head of the tribe lead the people and sacrificial objects of the tribe to arrive.

The sacrifices were sometimes cattle, sheep, pigs, deer, and other animals, but also captured enemies, and perhaps even maidens from their own tribe. Blood sacrifices are a common occurrence in such backward areas, and people often disappear here, most likely being captured by the tribe and sacrificed to the sacrifice.

Jonathan and Angelina carefully bypassed the tribe's outposts and arrived at the foot of the pyramid without alarming anyone.

The building in front of you says that it is a pyramid, but in fact, it is very different from the Egyptian pyramids in the minds of ordinary people, at least in appearance.

The appearance of the Egyptian pyramid is a triangular cone, and there are no steps to climb up. This pyramid in Mexico has a staircase that allows you to walk directly from the bottom to the top of the pyramid. It was built by the Mayans and is estimated to be at least nearly a thousand years old.

Due to its location in a humid and rain-rich forest, the pyramid has been eroded to a great extent, and the surface is covered with green moss, and the carved patterns on it can be faintly seen.

"Huh?"

Jonathan, who had been walking in front, suddenly stopped, and he listened intently for a moment. Angelina also looked around vigilantly. She found nothing but birds and insects.

Jonathan continued to act, without saying a word, and walked forward.

"What's wrong?" Angelina couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing," Jonathan's words just made Angelina relax, and he immediately said, "I just felt a malicious sweep!" ”

"You mean the Earl, he'......"

"Perhaps, we must not take lightly the only remaining part of the Earl's corpse in the world."

"If we get this thing, what do you say we're going to do with it? The vampires in the Church don't want us to destroy it. ”

"But they don't dare to let the Count out, do they?"

"That's right!" Angelina nodded. She knows all too well about life-hungry vampires: "These guys just hide in dark corners. I didn't dare to stand up at all. ”

"If you can't kill it, you can continue to seal it. Just like Solomon, he continued to exile it for a thousand years. ”

Jonathan: They talked as they walked to the top of the pyramid. At the top there is only a large rock half a man high. Boxy. It's only big enough for one person to lie down. This is the altar. Only during the blood sacrifice will this altar be used, where the people used for the sacrifice will cut their throats and bleed and take out their internal organs. Sacrificed to the gods.

Here, tens of millions of sacrifices were killed.

The sacrifices that are used for sacrifice are usually poured with delirious herbs, and they do not react at all to what happens to them. Experienced priests were able to even remove the victim's internal organs and keep him alive for a while before slowly draining the last drop of blood.

Jonathan and Angelina stood next to this altar, and they could even feel the gusts of wind, even the fierce sun could not dispel the cold.

"There's no way to hide anything here!"

Angelina looked at the empty altar, then looked left and right, and found nothing out of the ordinary.

Jonathan didn't answer her words, but propped his hands on the stone platform and looked carefully at its edge, which was a small groove. There were also some plant roots growing on it, and I followed these roots to find it, and the thin trough that stretched all the way to the bottom of the stone platform.

"What did you find?"

"Well, there's something wrong with this stone platform. Let's take a look and see if there's something going on. ”

Jonathan said as he groped around on the altar, but he couldn't find the mechanism he imagined, and Angelina, who was standing on the side, was a little impatient.

"Get out of the way!" Angelina said.

"Huh?"

Jonathan looked up, his face changed drastically, and he immediately dodged away from the stone platform. Only a "boom" was heard, and the entire stone platform was kicked away by Angelina and rolled down the steps of the pyramid.

"You...... Don't be so violent, okay! Jonathan shook his head, feeling that this was a problem, and that such a big movement must have been heard by everyone.

Angelina stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly, "I didn't expect this stone platform to fly as soon as I kicked it." Let's not talk about that, you see! ”

It turned out that under the location of the stone platform, a hole in Hesse was exposed, and I don't know where the road leads. Puffs of smoke came from the entrance of the cave that were imperceptible to the naked eye, as if the hole had not been opened in a long time.

The size of the cave entrance is just smaller than the stone platform, and the stone platform is stuck and does not fall down. From the edge of the cave, it seems that the position of the stone platform has been moved away from it for a while, leaving traces of sliding on it.

At this time, they realized that Angelina was able to kick the stone platform away because it was designed to move. It's just that Angelina's feet are a little too strong, otherwise this stone platform wouldn't fly out so easily.

"Go down?" Angelina glanced at Jonathan and asked.

"Wait, I'll see how deep it is and see if there's anything wrong with the air." Jonathan first took out a jump rope and threw it down, tying a stone to the edge of the rope. If the stone reaches the ground, he can feel it.

At the same time, he also sniffed the gas wafting out of the cave carefully, and felt that there was no poison, at most, there was less oxygen, which should not be a big problem for people like them with super physique. Even if they go down to hold their breath, they can hold on for a long time.

After the rope was lowered more than ten meters long, it reached the ground. It wasn't very high, so they tied one end of the rope to the outside, then grabbed it with one hand and jumped to the bottom of the cave.

When I went down, I was rushed by the yin qi in the cave, and I almost froze my body, and goosebumps kept coming out. When their feet hit the ground, they stepped on something that looked like dry bones. Looking down, those were the corpses that had been dead for a long time. They realized that this cave was a mass grotto.

"Good, lots of corpses!" Angelina covered her mouth and nose and whispered.

Although these corpses have been decaying for many years and do not smell of corpses, in this cave. It still smells of old decay. Even if it's covered with your hands. There's no way to stop the smell. Angelina's approach only made her feel better.

Jonathan didn't cover his nose, but he didn't speak either. Instead, he picked up a flashlight and searched around the cave. The cave was overrun by the roots of some kind of plant, growing not only on the walls of the cave, but also on the corpses. Finger-sized roots of plants drooped from the top of the cave, blocking their path.

"Smack! Syllable! Jonathan pulled out a machete and cut the roots out of a passage. But just as he was slashing hard, he suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and a rusty sharp knife stabbed out from behind the roots.

The machete blocked the sharp knife of the sneak attacker, and before Jonathan could say a warning, Angelina behind him had already exclaimed.

"Be careful! Some of those corpses have mutated! ”

"It must have been affected by the Earl's strength, and some of the corpses turned into zombies!"

Angelina shouted as she drew her gun and shot. I saw her raise her hand and shoot, firing her bow left and right, scattering the two corpses that were trying to get up from the ground.

Strange to say, these corpses should not be afraid of bullets, but Angelina can kill one with every shot. The corpse that was hit by her could no longer get up, as if it had lost some mysterious power.

The light in front of it flickered, and it turned out to be a flashlight falling to the ground. Even in this light, it was enough for a master like them to see the entire cave clearly.

Jonathan held a machete in one hand and drew the long whip from his waist with the other, and with a "crackle" sound, he danced in a large circle around himself. All the zombies that came close to him were shattered by the powerful force of the whip, and they could no longer form a complete corpse.

If Alex was here, he would have to be surprised to see this kind of whipping method, because Jonathan's casual whip was enough to open a golden cracking stone, which could be compared to the full force of a dark energy master.

The two of them are legends in the archaeological world, even in the face of this situation of corpses and blood, they are not afraid, and they also beat those zombies whose legs are weak when ordinary people see them to pieces. In a short time, dozens of corpses that had woken up were disposed of.

But in this cave, there are at least thousands, if not tens of thousands, of corpses, and even if only one percent of the corpses have mutated, the number is very staggering.

"It's not the way to go on like this!"

"I'll rush over and find the thing, you cover me!"

Jonathan spoke quickly, and before Angelina could answer, he flew out of the machete in his hand, spun in the air, and cut off the roots in front of him, revealing a passage out.

At the same time, he kicked the flashlight on the ground, reached out and grabbed it, and rushed forward. Not only that, but his whip danced around his body, barely splashing into the water, and all zombies that came close to two meters were whipped out of the whip.

His whip was not an ordinary whip, but was woven with a mixture of cow tendon, gold wire, silver wire, and unknown animal skin, and when whipped, it was able to form a special rune mass on the object being drawn. In addition, he also specially found a living Buddha monk to bless his mana, even against extremely powerful vampires and werewolves, he can hit each other hard with a whip.

Angelina's two guns, like his whips, were crafted with special materials and secret methods, and had a natural restraint effect on this feminine creature.

Jonathan was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had reached the end of the cave, and the zombies behind him were scattered all over the ground. But there are so many bodies here that as soon as one falls, another will get up.

In front of him, a stone platform was also placed, exactly like the altar at the top of the pyramid. On top of it, a black clay pot, about the size of a rugby ball, was placed.

Countless plant roots entwined around it, and these roots still grew along the trough, and if you think about it, it turns out that after the sacrifice, the blood will flow down the trough and eventually reach the place where the clay pot is.

As for the corpses, I am afraid they are the remains that were thrown down from the entrance of the cave after the sacrifice.

The body of the pot is carved with strange patterns, the most conspicuous of which is a glowing pyramid with a top separated from the bottom, and a pattern of eyes on the pyramid.

"That's it!" Jonathan was overjoyed and hurriedly picked up the clay pot. With one pull, all the entangled roots are torn off. Just as he was about to run back, he suddenly found that the roots of those plants suddenly came to life, and like a poisonous snake, his hands, feet and body were entangled in death.

"Be careful! These plants are alive! ”

Jonathan only had time to shout, and then his roots were wrapped around like a rice dumpling, unable to move. Not only that, but the tendrils seemed to want to penetrate his clothes, puncture his skin, and drain his blood.

By this time, he knew that there must be some kind of force behind these roots, and they were waking it up because they were coming.

The sudden abnormality caught Jonathan off guard. These tendrils don't look very large, just the size of a finger, but they are extremely tough, like cowhide bands. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't exert his strength, and the flashlight in his hand had already fallen to the ground, and the corpse that was stuck diagonally on the ground shone directly on the top of the cave.

It was all crawling with plant roots, and they were like venomous snakes that had been awakened, slowly wriggling, constantly coming in Jonathan's direction.

More and more roots bind him tightly to the clay pot. Jonathan could feel the clay pot itself exuding some kind of cold energy. At the same time, he seemed to smell a strong smell of blood, and for a moment he looked at everything as if he was soaked in a sea of blood.

"Oops! There is no way for this clay pot to suppress the contents of it! Jonathan immediately knew that something was wrong, and quickly thought, "It's trying to suck my blood through the roots, and then break out of the pot and take my body!" ”

The roots had grown into smaller, spike-like filaments that pierced through the bare skin of his arms, sucking a large amount of blood out of them, and not only that, but the filaments of the roots were like living creatures, wriggling along his veins and stretching towards his heart.
