Chapter Thirty-Seven: Temple Horror
The weather in the mountains is changing, the sky was clear just now, and after a few dark clouds drifted over, the sky instantly became dark and became a thick pot bottom. Kaidong estimated that the rain was about to fall, and immediately arranged for everyone to set up tents to prepare for shelter from the rain, but he was secretly worried about whether the tents that were erected in a hurry could withstand the impact of the torrential rain.
He Jinshui was looking around, and he suddenly pointed to a half-tall building not far away and said loudly: "Captain, there is an abandoned temple there! Why don't we go over and see if we can rest in it?"
Kaidong nodded, and asked He Jinshui to take the little madman over to investigate first, and everyone followed.
After they walked through the woods and climbed several huge rocks, a small Gothic building came into view. The temple looks dilapidated, the granite façade has been eroded by green moss, and the surroundings and roof are covered with vines.
He Jinshui pushed the temple door hard, and the almost rotten door panel made a dull creaking sound, and was pushed open heavily. A musty smell hit my face, and it was black inside. He Jinshui took out the fire fold and lit the torch, and after the stench inside dissipated, he slowly stepped in.
The temple was empty, and there was almost nothing left except for a huge, three-headed, six-armed, faceless statue, not even a window, except for a few rays of light that came through a small hole in the wall and shone on the ground to form a dim speck of light. He Jinshui noticed that a thick layer of ash had already accumulated on the ground, and as soon as he stepped on it, he would sink into half of his shoes, and the dust would scatter.
He Jinshui frowned, added oil to the oil lamps around the wall and lit them, pointed to the broom by the door and said to the little madman, "Apprentice, start work!" Recently, Hazard's dagger skills have become more and more handy, and he has become more and more obedient to He Jinshui, and he has obediently worked.
Kaidon led the crowd in and saw the idol facing the gate. He frowned and asked Eduardo, "Old friend, can you tell what kind of god this is?" Eduardo observed for a while before shaking his head and said, "I don't recognize it, this statue has three heads and six arms, I have been reading religious texts since I was ten years old, but I have never heard of such a strange deity, who is this?"
Suddenly, his expression changed dramatically, and he showed an expression of disbelief, and began to whisper one of the three religious songs, "Darkness, Demon God Advent": "The darkness covered the earth, the demon god raised his weapon, he turned into three heads and six arms, slaughtering all living beings, O great creator gods, they were not afraid, they used their divine power to fight evil, and sacrificed blood to stir up the ......magic circle", Kaidon suddenly realized, and then exclaimed, and said incredulously: "That is the statue of the demon god! How can anyone erect a statue of a god for him?" Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Kaidong waved his hand and said without hesitation: "There is something strange, let's get out of here quickly!" At this moment, thunder and lightning roared from the sky, and heavy rain fell from the sky, which in an instant converged into a rapid torrent and poured down the ridge of the mountain range, causing rumbling echoes in the valley.
The adventurers' faces changed slightly, and they had to retreat back into the temple again. Kaidong looked at the statue of the demon god and felt unspeakably uncomfortable and weird. So he took off the big shield on his back and put it on his left arm, accelerated and sprinted hard, gathered all the strength of his body and crashed into it, only to hear a loud bang, and the statue fell to the ground.
Kaidong swung his mace from side to side, smashing the Demon God statue into several pieces, only to see a lone head fall to the ground, eyes dead to this side, the corners of his mouth curled up as if he was sneering contemptuously.
Arnold and the little madman hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the fragment of the demon god statue and threw it out, but no one noticed that the eyes seemed to move.
The crowd was forced to rest and spend the night in the temple. He Jinshui fell to the ground and tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and he felt an indescribable uneasiness, as if there were many eyes staring at him in the dark. So he turned over and sat up, walked to the door and patted Elena on duty, and motioned for himself to stand guard for her.
By this time the rain had stopped, the clouds had begun to disperse, the moon poked its head out, and there was silence all around. He Jinshui stood for a while and felt the urge to urinate, so he walked lightly to the open space in front of the temple gate to solve it by himself.
He suddenly felt the rustling of the grass behind him, and quickly turned around to find Cadon standing behind him, looking at him in a daze. The bright moonlight shone on his handsome face, seeping out a miserable white light.
He Jinshui was a little weak-hearted, thinking that the other party blamed him for leaving his post without permission, so he hurriedly waved his hand to explain. At this time, Kaidong stepped forward stiffly, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Where did we put that important thing?" He Jinshui felt strange, rolled his eyes and replied: "Didn't you personally hand it over to Eduardo for safekeeping, captain?
Seeing that the other party nodded, He Jinshui turned around and walked towards the door of the temple, Kaidong followed closely behind him, and his five fingers into claws quietly poked towards the back of his head. At this time, He Jinshui suddenly stopped, and asked behind him: "Captain, do you add eggs or not for your supper?" ”
"Okay!" He Jinshui pushed the door with his left hand, pulled out a small stone with his right hand, turned it into a long sword in an instant, and slashed towards Kaidong with his backhand. The cold light flashed, and Kaidon's body fell to the ground, and his head fell, but not a single blood flowed out.
"Enemy attack! hurry up", He Jinshui shouted loudly into the temple, startling everyone to wake up from their dreams, turn over and get up, and rush out with their weapons.
Looking at the "Kaidong" on the ground kicking himself with anger on his face, He Jinshui touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "Please, you dead monster, take more snacks! First, Caton is a clergyman with a habit of cleanliness, how can you hide the rancid stench from my nose; second, Eduardo is on Arnold's back all day, and his package has always been held by Cadon, so how can the real Cadon tell me to go to Eduardo to get it? Third, Caton is an upright man who never sneaks into others from behind; fourth, we don't have eggs at all, and the question of whether to add eggs or not is a trick I deliberately set for you, and I didn't expect you to get into it all at once! Why, it's time to be satisfied, you can rest assured that you can die!"
"Caddon's" head finally laughed, and laughed very loudly. The sharp whistling sound stirred in the air, instantly startling countless flying birds, making people feel indescribably gloomy and weird.
At this moment, "Kaidong's" body suddenly stood up, touched his hands on the ground, touched his head, lifted it, and pressed it back into his neck again. He Jinshui leaned against the door with his hands folded, looked at each other with interest, and said in surprise: "It's amazing! It's just a horror blockbuster!"
"Kaidong" looked at He Jinshui fiercely, and visible changes began to occur on his body. The flesh and skin of his whole body were rotting rapidly, the fangs at the corners of his mouth protruded and pulled back, the hollow eye sockets burst with red light, and a pair of fleshy wings poked out from his back and stretched out, suddenly turning into a birdman.
"This is...... Vampire Count!" genuine Kaidon exclaimed in disbelief when he saw the scene in front of him.
