Chen An's eyes shrank, last time he only told Xue Yi that there was an evil aura behind the door because he saw something in the shadow of the candlelight, but this time he didn't need to tell him at all, everyone could feel it.

Xue Yi stepped forward, his face was solemn, he carefully surveyed the circle, and turned his head to discuss countermeasures with others, but suddenly heard a squeak, and the bronze gate seemed to be unable to suppress the surging evil power in the door anymore, and was suddenly pushed open from the inside.

The dark power surged like a tidal wave, swallowing everyone by the door in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, the entire space was filled with thick darkness, as if this was a place of eternal silence.

Maybe it was just a moment, maybe a century later, a little glimmer of light, slowly lit up in the darkness, the light of a candle, at first the size of a bean, then enlarged like a basin, and in an instant a full moon was clearly revealed.

The white moonlight wandered out, illuminating the darkness, brightening the earth, clarifying the hearts of all people, and expelling all the gloom and evil, just like the favor of the gods, like the hope of ignorance.

When the darkness completely faded, Chen An put away the moonlight on his body, and the figures of Xue Yi and the others appeared one after another, with a lingering palpitation on their faces.

"Thank you, Commander, for the rescue. ”

Xue Yi's complexion was not very good, just like this, they had six fewer clan soldiers, as well as two medium-grade hunters, and the rest of the people were all injured except for Xue Yi. If it weren't for Chen An who used the secret technique Moon God at a critical moment, none of the people here would have survived except for him and Chen An. That kind of deep dark energy, the evil qi and blood hidden in the darkness seem to have accumulated for a long, long time, and they have precipitated the aura of corrosion and annihilation, which is not at all something that human beings can compete with, even if a high-grade strong person stays in it for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee it.

"At this kind of moment, everyone should help each other. ”

Chen An didn't know what to say, he had just suddenly understood the use of the moon god at a critical moment, and it turned out to be the incarnation of the moon to drive away evil spirits and heal. But it seems that it is still a little late to realize that almost half of them died because of this, if Meng Yun and those clan soldiers were not close to him, no one below Gao Pin might have survived.

This is the first time that there have been casualties, and when they explored in the maze before, although they were stuck, everyone survived safely, so that they couldn't help but have three points of contempt for this seemingly mysterious place, plus they walked repeatedly in the maze, and they lost their caution at the beginning.

Now it was just an oversight, and it was almost half of them lost, and it was not even possible to collect the bodies of these people, because the eight people completely disappeared into the deep darkness, leaving no trace.

"Two commanders, what should we do next?" Ji Fan's delicate face had a hint of pain, he had just lost two brothers, and at this time, he couldn't help but hate and hesitate when he looked at the bronze gate that had been opened.

Xue Yi glanced back at the back road that had been blocked by dark energy, gritted his teeth and said, "Even if you retreat at this time, it is just to return to the labyrinth, and the price required is still not small, so it is better to move forward." ”

At first, he felt that although Chen An was a superb, he had no experience in exploration, so he only thought that he was here to increase his knowledge, but now he unexpectedly found that Chen An had a lot of very practical secret techniques.

Seeing him looking at him, Chen An immediately understood, nodded and said, "This time I explored the way in front, and asked Commander Xue to suppress the formation." ”

Xue Yi originally just wanted to ask Chen An's opinion, but when he heard Chen An's proposal, he also acquiesced, with him pressing the formation in the back, when some unnecessary casualties could be avoided, Chen An was the strongest, and there was nothing to worry about if he opened the way in front.

After a brief adjustment of the formation of the team, everyone set off again.

Chen An opened the Moonlight Domain and walked first, followed by Ji Fan and Meng Yun, who were less injured, Jiang Ye, another female high-grade powerhouse, and He Dan, a member of the hunting team whose entire left palm disappeared into the darkness, walked in the middle with the remaining four middle grades, and Yu Zhen and Xue Yi pressed the formation at the end.

Chen An was dedicated to two things, paying attention to the movement in front of him, and at the same time carefully comprehending the wonderful use of the secret technique Moon God that he had just obtained. This secret technique itself is not aggressive, and it doesn't seem to be very powerful, but in Chen An's eyes, in some specific circumstances, the role it can play is not much worse than the real supernatural power, or it can already be regarded as a real supernatural power, just like a candle heart shadow. No wonder Shen Lin once said that the distinction between secret arts and supernatural powers in the high-grade stage is not very clear, this statement is not absolute, but it is generally not bad.

Realizing the use of the moon god in this way, his moonlight domain couldn't help but grow bigger and bigger, not only enveloping everyone, but also expelling and purifying all the darkness within the three zhang around him.

Seeing this, Xue Yi couldn't help but be a little stunned, even the super-grade powerhouse's supernatural power realm couldn't be used like this, at most, it was just to collect itself, otherwise the power of supernatural power would soon be exhausted. I want to remind you, but looking at Chen An's appearance, he is relaxed and freehand, and it seems that he has not reached the limit, and the power of supernatural powers seems to be endless, and the background is terrifying.

In this way, he swallowed back the words in his mouth, with this moonlight domain, the darkness does not invade, the evil does not commit, saving them a lot of strength, and the most important thing is that everyone is in the middle, with a full sense of security, and the fear caused by the invasion of darkness before is also full of stability. Therefore, he withdrew his attention from Chen An and focused his attention on the surrounding environment.

As soon as I entered the bronze gate, my vision suddenly widened, and instead of the narrow corridors that had been before, the interior of a huge palace, neatly cut bricks and stones, squarely stacked on the ground, trampled on it, and the echoes of the hollow and distant echoes told the emptiness and silence here. There were no walls around, but boundless darkness, darkness that not even the moonlight could dispel.

It's like an island in the middle of the ocean, floating lonely in the endless darkness. At the center of the island is an altar, and what it worships is a terrifying demon god that is more than ten feet high.

Demon God?

The tradition of sacrifice is found in all worlds, especially in the Eastern Wilderness, and the goals of sacrifice are also varied, there are blood moons, ancestors, clan heroes, innate gods, nature gods, and of course, demon gods.

Among them, the gods are extremely pious in their belief in the blood moon, they are convinced that they are guilty, and they must endure the torture and baptism in pain, and finally obtain the forgiveness and redemption of the blood moon, while the sacrifice and worship of the blood moon in the twelve cities are much more false, they are devout to themselves, and the sacrifice of their ancestors and clan heroes is much more serious than the sacrifice of the blood moon, and the sacrifice of the blood moon is only a custom for the twelve cities.

As for the other scattered savage tribes, they are much more confused, blood moons, ancestors, clan heroes, innate gods, nature gods, it can be said that they believe in anything, and even the demons they are completely powerless to resist will also be the object of their sacrifice. And there are not a few people who worship the demon gods, and it is human nature to obey if they can't beat them.

However, in addition to some ignorant savage tribes, the most important thing is the real demons. In addition to the bloodthirsty madness of the times, demons and even big demons have wisdom that is not inferior to human beings at all, just like human beings sacrifice their ancestors, they will also sacrifice demon gods, which is reasonable.

Before everyone came to the altar, they looked up to see the statue of the demon god, although Chen An's moonlight domain was less than ten zhang, but everyone could see the appearance of the demon god strangely. He has four songs and eighteen arms, four of which interpret joy, anger and sorrow, and on the eighteen arms hold the human head, the human heart, and the human liver...... and other stumps of various organs, the statue is extremely real, as if there is blood dripping, and everyone can see that their scalps are numb for a while.

"This ...... This is a living sacrifice, and it is sacrificed to the most evil and bloodthirsty demon god. Yu Zhen, who was most familiar with similar things, explained with a look of horror on his face.

Demon god worship has existed since ancient times, not only in the Eastern Wilderness, but also in the Central Plains, but the primitive bloody sacrifice may only exist in a cursed and desperate place like the Eastern Wilderness.

Human nature is selfish, and the true purpose of people's belief in gods has their own demands, so the gods in people's beliefs have different meanings and powers, such as the blood moon, although it is weird, it represents light and hope, so in the desperate place of the Eastern Wilderness, people take it as their faith, and it is the highest faith. The same is true for the demon gods, there are supervisors of conquest, there are supervisors of killing, and there are supervisors of death...... And so on, whether it is a savage or a demon, they can get the meaning of their own existence from it.

It's just that the sacrifices needed to worship and sacrifice are different, the demon god who sacrifices flesh and blood is the most primitive blood worship, crazy and bloodthirsty, and itself symbolizes the distortion of human nature, or that sentence, the most terrible thing is the madman, this crazy and disgusting thing is in addition to some tribal savages who are desperate to the point of distortion of character, maybe only low-level blood demons with no reason to speak of worship are worshipped.

"Everyone be careful," Xue Yi couldn't help but remind.

In fact, he didn't need to remind him, just one lost half of them without checking, many of them were their close comrades-in-arms, and the lesson of blood was vivid. And the atmosphere here is even more weird than the bronze gate just now, the inexplicable altar, the inexplicable demon god statue, the inexplicable flesh and blood sacrifice, just looking at it is very terrifying, how can it be impossible to be relieved in such a strange environment.

Everyone gathered together to follow Chen An's Moonlight Domain, bypassing the altar to the edge of the palace or island, where there were no guardrails and there was still deep darkness underfoot. Everyone circled along the edge, but they didn't see any exit.

I was anxious, I don't know who said it softly.

"The entrance, the entrance seems to be gone. ”

Everyone woke up in shock, and hurriedly returned to the place of memory, where the bronze gate they had originally entered had mysteriously disappeared at some point, and was still replaced by deep and endless darkness.
