443. Sacrificial rituals
Taxiu's heart moved, and he finally knew why he felt a sense of déjà vu, because the patterns here were similar to the dazzling patterns of the fox clan and the magical civilization of the dark demon clan. They are all drawn with mysterious patterns to create complex patterns.
Perhaps, the light source in the cave is the effect of these patterned characters carved into the stone wall.
But how could this deserted island in the sea be connected to the ruins of the beast clan and the dark clan on the mainland?
The three of them walked along the cave, feeling that the tunnel of the cave seemed to gradually face downward, tilting down forty-five degrees, gradually extending into the unknown depths of the underground.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, the road suddenly turned forward again. At this time, a wonderful scene appeared in front of Ta Xiu and the others—a vast space appeared in a sea of light blue light. Under his feet is the gurgling water flowing with crystal brilliance, and the round black stones stop in the water like chess pieces, let the flowing water rush and stand still.
I followed the pebbles and found an island about 50 meters in diameter in the center of the current. The top is made of black and white stones stacked in the shape of an altar.
Over here...... What exactly is the place?
Not only Taxiu, but Cliff and Worm couldn't help but ask themselves questions at the same time.
I thought it was just an ordinary desert island, but I didn't expect to discover such a secret. Whether it's Taxiu or Bug, they're all interested.
"Boss, let's go there and have a look. Cliff's eyes lit up as he gestured to the islet in the water. Intuitively, he felt that there would be good things up there.
Taxiu has no opinion either. Cliff rushed to the front, then Taxiu, and finally Worm, and the three of them used the black stones in the water as a springboard, and they approached the island where the water was located. Soon they set foot on this altar-like island.
The outermost part of this small island made of stones is a circle of black stones with intricate patterns carved into them, which stretch for about a few meters and then form a staircase of white stones, which stretches upwards and progresses upwards one by one. Finally, an altar platform with a radius of about fifteen meters is formed. In the center of the platform are oval-shaped spheres.
"What is this?" Cliff walked up with some disappointment, picked up a white ball and shook it in his hand: "It looks like an animal egg, can you eat it?" Seeing that he licked his lips and looked a little greedy, he must still be hungry. Just wait for confirmation that it is a bird egg or something, and ask Boss Taxiu to quickly make a roasted bird egg and try it.
Insect also picked up an egg and sniffed it under his nose with some curiosity, and his face changed slightly: "This smell is not like a bird's egg, it is a bit like a ...... Demon...... Monster eggs!" she stammered.
Monster's egg?!
As we all know, there are many types of Warcraft, there are direct viviparity in the mammalaceae, and there are also birds in the family that rely on laying eggs to continue the next generation. Could it be that all the eggs of the birds and monsters are piled up here?
As a sealer, Ta Xiu naturally has some research on Warcraft, and he quickly reacted: "No, this is not quite like the egg of a bird-like Warcraft, this is ......" A flash of lightning flashed in his mind, remembering the rare Warcraft family that he had seen in the Seal King Rodriguez's "Seasealer's Handbook", and even the Seaseal Master Academy did not record it!
As you can see in the name, it is a fish-like, ferocious monster family that lives in the sea. If these monsters come ashore, they are all scraps, but in the water, they can exert their natural ability to control water, as well as ferocious violence. Some of the large sea monsters can even easily overturn human warships. Rise up a small giant whirlpool of the ocean.
According to the Sealer's Handbook, this beast is oviparous.
Unlike the eggs of avian monsters, the eggs of marine beasts look very similar to eggs, but in fact, there will be natural wavy patterns on the white wall shell of each egg. Taxiu picked up a white egg, turned it slightly with the light in the cave, and immediately saw that there were subtle wavy patterns on its white smooth shell walls.
"There's no mistake, these are all eggs of monsters in the ocean. ”
Ta Xiu stood up and swept the monster eggs on the platform, seeing that there were at least hundreds of them. Who is so generous to collect so many monster eggs at once?
How did so many monster eggs belonging to the same marine family get here, and for what purpose?
It may not be easy to snatch so many eggs from the terrifying sea beasts.
"Boss, I'm so hungry, can I eat these eggs?" Cliff stared at the egg in his hand with bright eyes, looking like he wanted to crack it open and take a bite, anyway, it didn't matter to him whether it was the meat of the monster or the ordinary bird's egg, the key was to eat it as food.
"Don't think about it, if these eggs can hatch and make sealing monsters, it will be powerful! "I just want to eat these unattainable monster eggs, and Cliff is really not afraid of destroying the heavens......
Ignoring Cliff's complaining gaze, Taxiu pulled down the insects that were climbing up and down and sniffing up and down curiously, and was about to harvest them well, and when he put these monster eggs into the space of the golden belt, his ears suddenly moved faintly, as if he heard something.
At the same time, the worm also sniffed his nose: "There is the smell of other people, someone is coming." ”
Ta Xiu didn't care about completing his plan to collect the eggs of the Ocean Demon Beast, so he took two eggs and put them into the space ring, and then pulled Cliff and the worm around the back of the egg pile opposite to the person who came.
Fortunately, this pile of demonic beast eggs is too large and too large, and the pile is almost more than one person high, and the two of them can still hide their bodies when they squat behind.
"Sister, that Tu Lie is too much now, since his father died, he has been bent on becoming the new king, and secretly developed his own power to persecute you. A ** voice sounded. Both Taxiu and Clive couldn't help but be curious, and Bead crept out an eye from behind the egg to look over.
I saw a green hair dragging to her heels, wearing shell ornaments on her head, wearing a white tulle dress, and Yulia, who looked indifferent, walked with ** white feet, step by step on the black stone in the water flow towards the altar in the center of the island. Behind her, a figure followed by a height only up to her shoulders, the same green hair dragged to the ground, wearing a wreath of green and white flowers on her head, a white skirt tied to the waist, revealing a little Lori with snow-white lotus arms. Little Lori looks very similar to Yulia, and should be Yulia's own sister.
"Euris, you don't understand. Yulia shook her head slowly, and led her sister to the island in the water, and walked down the stairs to the altar.
"Sister, don't underestimate me, I know everything! Tu Lie's heart has been active since Naranch's rebellion, and this time he also used the affairs of outsiders to test how many people on the island still support us, fortunately, I am smart, and he didn't dare to act rashly when I gathered everyone......
"Alright, shut up, let's finish this year's sacrifice to the whale god first. Yulia frowned slightly, sighed, and took her sister's hand and walked to the mountain of Ocean Demon Beast eggs.
"The number of monster eggs collected this year is the lowest in recent years...... Let's hope the whale god won't blame it. Yulia said to herself. Then he stood in front of the beast's eggs, folded his hands in front of his chest, and recited an obscure incantation in his mouth. Her younger sister Euris took a few steps back and stood on the edge of the altar, her hands clasped together in front of her chest, watching her sister's sacrifice ceremony seriously.
Taxiu and the others hid behind and watched all this quietly, without being noticed by the sisters at all. Of course, this place belongs to the forbidden land of the inhabitants of the island, and no one has ever entered except for the patriarch Yulia and his family, who continue the bloodline. So even with Tu Lie's arrogance, they didn't dare to break in easily, and the sisters didn't expect outsiders to sneak in at all.
"Boss, that Miss Yulia is good, and she is very kind to me. Cliff touched Tahi's arm and said, "Why don't you say hello to her, didn't the worm say that we need the help ......of the islanders to get out of this island?"
Taxiu whispered, "Don't speak, I'll talk about this later." "If you are caught in the middle of an important ceremony, I don't know what the consequences will be. It's better to make a fortune first, Ta Xiu still looks at the eggs and eggs of the demonic beasts that are piled up like a mountain in front of him, for him, a sealer, these future sea demonic beasts are no different from a batch of treasures.
With Yulia's incantation, her white dress rippled slightly, and her long green hair that was scattered behind her back swayed like a waterfall. The mysterious pattern painted on the altar floor gradually lit up, as if a magic circle was activated. Seeing this scene, the doubts in Ta Xiu's heart deepened a little, this scene was exactly the same as the activation of the magic array in the dark ruins. What will happen to Yulia's incantation?
Specks of light floated out of the cave like dancing fireflies, and people who were sensitive to the elements, such as Taxiu and Worm, could clearly feel that some elements in the cave were becoming more and more active.
The faint blue light pattern reflects the shimmering and swaying water waves, emitting a soft light. Yulia was in the very center of a piece of light, in the very center of the altar in the center of the island, solemn, solemn, sacred, as if a devout believer had opened his heart to the gods he believed in.
A clear sound of water sounded. Under the surprised gaze of Taxiu, Worm, and Cliff, I saw that the water waves that had filled the cave and flowed slowly like an underground river suddenly accelerated, and the water level slowly but firmly spread higher and higher towards the small island where Taxiu and the others stayed. The dozen or so black chess-like stones that had been standing in the water were quickly submerged by the sparkling waves.
"See, the water is rising...... "Worm touched the tip of his nose and whispered as he leaned his little head over Tashim and Cliff.
"Strangely, I didn't feel the fluctuations of the water element. Ta Xiu touched his chin suspiciously, and the mutated spirit vision quietly opened, and under his spiritual eyes, a strange picture formed by countless messy lines and soul flames appeared in front of him. The unformed soul light points that pulsate regularly in the eggs of the sea monsters, the messy and fierce lines of various elements on the altar shuttle back and forth, and the circles of soul flames that emanate from Yulia's body. An unusually powerful soul flame.
It seems that Yulia herself does not have the skills of a magician, and she only uses her soul power to cause the magical resonance of the spell on the altar. It is certain that the current tide in the cave has something to do with Yulia's spells and rituals, but it is unknown what the exact effect of these magical resonances is.
It didn't take long for the water level on the ground to rise to the point of overflowing the altar under the silent gaze of Taxiu and them. Keep in mind that the entire island is at least three meters above the water, but these are quickly flooded by the water in the cave. Including Sister Yulia, who was putting her hands together and bowing her head to chant a spell, the water line had already overflowed Yulis's thighs, over Yulia's knees, and over the piles of monster eggs.
Just when Taxiu and the others felt that something was wrong, the altar that had been flooded by the water suddenly erupted with a burst of intense light, and the water accelerated upwards again. At the same moment, a whirlpool began to grow under the eggs of the demonic beasts that had been flooded by the water. The whirlpool was small at first, but it soon expanded rapidly, like a big mouth suddenly opened, sucking in hundreds of demonic beast eggs that were more than a person tall at once.
Taxiu, Cliff, and Worm were caught off guard and sucked into the water along with the monster eggs.
"Gooo......"
Taxiu and Worm were fine, but they reacted after just a few mouthfuls of water, holding their breath and paddling their hands and feet to keep their balance in the water. And Cliff's water quality was not too good, and he almost passed out by drowning all at once. Fortunately, Ta Xiu still had the breath-holding pill he had refined in the Eternal Winter Realm last time, took out three pills and stuffed one into Cliff's mouth, and then stuffed one more into the worm, and swallowed one himself, and the feeling of suffocation that he couldn't breathe disappeared immediately.
The three of them paddled their hands and feet to levitate in the water, and when they opened their eyes wide, they found themselves in an invisible undercurrent formed by a whirlpool. The undercurrent is like a designed passage that sucks the eggs of the hundreds of demonic beasts into a long string, swaying one after another in the current, and is attracted in one direction.
Ta Xiu and the other three were involuntarily in the undercurrent, and they were also sucked away along with the eggs of large and small demonic beasts.
The invisible whirlpool has a huge suction, and Taxiu, Worm, and Cliff may be very powerful on land, but they can't use half of their strength in this water. Only for a while to observe the ups and downs of the undercurrent.
Ta Xiu was very curious, and he didn't know where Sister Yulia was going to send the eggs of these demonic beasts through this sacrificial ritual. For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
