Chapter 13: The Temple of Death
It only took a few hours for Yu Chen to reach the edge of the purple lake. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Quiet, absolutely quiet, there wasn't even a sound here. This kind of silence makes people instinctively feel frightened and uneasy, which is more appropriate than what it is now called dead silence.
'Whoosh', a small pebble was thrown into the lake by Yu Chen.
There was no splash, no sound of falling into the lake, and the pebble had been vaporized even in mid-air!
Yu Chen had already noticed the strangeness here. He wondered just now, the more he walked inside, the fewer creatures he could see, and there wasn't even a single tree in a mile around the lake, not even an ant.
Presumably it must be a problem with this lake, Yu Chen quickly came to a conclusion. So he made a move to throw stones to ask for directions, but as everyone knows, it was this move that caused a shocking change!
One stone stirs up a thousand waves, this is an ancient oriental proverb taught to him by his grandfather. There is no shortage of exaggerations in this, but now this magical scene has appeared alive in front of Yu Chen!
It was this insignificant pebble that seemed to wake up the purple lake that had been sleeping for a long time, and it was like an ancient desolate beast that opened its bloody mouth at Yu Chen.
The purple lake was neatly split into two halves, and a staircase appeared out of thin air in front of Yu Chen.
The dark staircase stretches as far as the eye can see, like the mythical path to hell. The dark staircase seemed to have a special magic, and it was attracting the young man in front of him.
'Something is calling me, something is calling me there. This thought lingered in Yu Chen's mind as soon as it appeared.
Yu Chen involuntarily walked towards the stairs, and the end of the stairs seemed to have endless temptations for him.
At this time, Yu Chen didn't know what he was doing at all! There was a kind of emptiness and confusion in his eyes, and all these movements were just his instincts.
The boy carried the girl into the staircase, and the lake closed silently, as if nothing had happened.
Shortly after Yu Chen carried Daisy into the stairs, the Dark Elves came to the lake.
"Boss, their footprints are gone. A dark elf archer said with some trepidation.
For some reason, the closer the dark elves got here, the more frightened they became, as if there was something in the lake that made them instinctively afraid.
Fear enveloped every dark elf, and even the captain regretted it a little at this time, and the frenzy in his eyes gradually dissipated, and here he felt the breath of death.
The Dark Elf Captain closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he had made a difficult decision. "Withdraw!"
Just as most of the Dark Elves breathed a sigh of relief, a discordant voice came: "Boss! We've all chased here!How can we give up halfway!" The person who spoke was the only gold-level Dark Elf warrior on the team besides the Boss.
The thin body can't stop the fanaticism in his eyes, for the sake of power, he can not even want his life, and it is more painful to let him give up now than to let him die!
But at the moment he spoke, a purple vine as thick as the mouth of a bowl and full of spikes quietly touched his feet!
"Ahh One, two, three, countless vines enveloped him. It only took him a few breaths to die and he couldn't die anymore.
The other Dark Elves had already scattered and fled when they saw this scene, and it didn't matter what glory or discipline they had at this time! All they thought about was how to survive, and nothing else mattered except to survive! It was hard to imagine that this was a group of well-trained elite Dark Elf squads, and now they were a little hysterical. It was a fear from the depths of the soul that the dark elves could not resist.
Blood stained the black soil, and the dark elves became the best fertilizer after all.
When the dark elves had been slaughtered, Yu Chen was walking on the dark staircase, which seemed to be an independent space. Except for the road at Yu Chen's feet, there is only endless darkness here.
I don't know how long I walked, Yu Chen finally came to the end of the stairs, and at this time he was greeted by a cold door.
His hand gently pushed the door down, and the two-story door opened so easily.
As the door slammed shut, Yu Chen gradually regained his clarity, and at this time he didn't notice Daisy's fingers moving behind him.
"What kind of place is this?" Yu Chen was deeply shocked by the scene in front of him, the pitch-black and tall columns, the hideous stone statues everywhere, the pool of blood full of blood.
The deep corridor is filled with strange blue flames, which move on their own! The eerie and eerie sight here is reminiscent of a demon's palace!
Yu Chen did his best to calm himself down. "What the hell is this place, and what should I do now?"
Just when Yu Chen was a little annoyed, a hoarse voice sounded.
"Here... This is the legendary Temple of Death?"
"Ahh
"Hmm. ā
"Ahem, ahem". Daisy's situation seemed to be a little less good at this point.
"Are you okay now?" As soon as Yu Chen's words came out, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. How could Daisy's current appearance be good. Although Yu Chen doesn't know how painful it is for a woman to lose her youth, it must not be good to be herself.
"Ahem, ahem. Don't worry, you can't die yet. Daisy's voice was a little faint.
"It's really the Temple of Death, we came to this place by mistake. The emaciated and withered face still couldn't hide the shock.
"Temple of Death? What is this Temple of Death that you've been talking about?"
"Actually, I don't know what this place is, but I've read in my family's secret books that the ancient people worshipped the gods, and for this reason they spent a huge amount of time and the most precious materials to build huge temples. One of these powerful deities is known as the Grim Reaper, and this may be the legendary Temple of Death. ā
Looking at Yu Chen's thoughtful appearance, Daisy then patiently explained to him.
"I'm not talking about the Holy See that was destroyed five hundred years ago, it's the real Temple of Death, built by the most powerful human beings since the ancient Collapse for the gods they worshipped. As for the powerful Holy See 500 years ago, their beliefs are long different from those of their predecessors, and the temple they built has long been buried in the dust of history. ā
Yu Chen had some vague understanding. "It seems that I really don't know anything about history! If I really go to the outside world, I must make up for my evils!"
Actually, what Daisy didn't tell him was. This knowledge is not easy to know even if you were born in a noble princely family and have the best education.
This is a forgotten history, which has been deliberately erased from history. If it weren't for Daisy's last name, she, like everyone else, would probably never have known about this history that has all but been wiped out.
Two years ago, in the Kleist family's archives, Daisy stumbled upon a sealed yellowed parchment scroll.
"Praise the God of Light!
I want to be the most loyal servant of the God of Light!
Amen!"
It was clear that this was an oath, and Daisy looked at it as if she didn't understand, and this prayer of praise to the gods seemed to be completely different from the existing theological system. Driven by a strong curiosity, Daisy looked through a large number of historical materials, and in two years, she finally uncovered the tip of the iceberg of long-lost history.
