Chapter 184: Butterflies and Phoenixes

The moment he entered the temple, Jiang Nan was like entering a sponge, the surroundings were soft, and his muscles were completely unable to exert his strength.

And even the dead energy in his body is restricted!

Jiangnan has become the most ordinary human being!

"Could it be that just like Montgotta, there is also some kind of prohibition of 'no use of force' in the Temple of Tedriel!"

Without knowing the details of the inside of the temple, Jiang Nan could only guess and move forward.

After taking seven or eight steps in the direction of the north, Jiang Nan, whose limbs were becoming more and more weak, confirmed even more, "That's right, there is indeed a prohibition on restricting force in the Tedriel Temple!"

Thinking of this, Jiangnan walked more carefully!

However, he was not afraid of the ancient elves in the temple - no matter what, Jiang Nan held the token of Princess Yuelan, and if necessary, he could dispel the hostility by communicating.

What he was really afraid of was behind the second prince, the soul powerhouse who had not yet appeared!

You can't use force in the temple of Tedriel, but you can't use soul power, maybe the soul powerhouse is lying in ambush nearby, and is about to suddenly come out and kill yourself!

The most terrifying enemies are often the ones who don't show up!

"Hmm, when is the soul powerhouse going to appear?"

Jiang Nan thought silently and came to the front of the wooden houses in the temple.

"The ancient ancestors of the elven clan, my name is Luo Di, please pass through the temple and heal the elven king!"

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Nan shouted in his voice.

But no one responded.

Could it be that the ancient elves let themselves go?

"In that case, thank you!"

After asking a few tentative questions to confirm that the ancient elves had no intention of hindering him, Jiang Nan stepped into the wooden house group!

But after only walking a dozen steps, Jiang Nan was annoyed to find that these wooden houses were scattered, like a maze, and he couldn't find the direction at all!

At this time, he only felt that his physical strength was even weaker, and shouted helplessly: "Everyone, can you show me the way?"

The temple was silent.

Not even the wind...... Jiang Nan's heart suddenly had a strange feeling, and he looked for the north and cautiously continued to find his way.

Ten minutes passed...... Thirty minutes passed...... An hour ...... "Not good!"

Looking at the wooden house in front of him, which seemed to have no end, Jiang Nan's heart trembled violently!

The mountain where the temple is located is only seven or eight miles in radius, and when Jiangnan landed, he observed it in mid-air, and there were only one or two hundred cabins in the temple, so ...... He identified a direction, walked for more than an hour, even a big mountain has been overturned, how can he still be spinning in the wooden house!?

Could it be that there is some kind of magic circle in the temple that can trap people to death?

Just thinking about it, Jiang Nan suddenly smelled a smell of damp rot.

Rounding the two cabins, a human corpse collapsed in front of a wooden cloister, emitting a disgusting smell of corpses.

Moreover, the corpse decomposes very quickly, weathering a part of the flesh and blood in a few minutes, which makes it impossible for Jiang Nan to judge the time of his death.

What is certain, however, is that the corpse's posture suggests that he also tried to pass through the temple ...... "......hmm"

While observing the corpse, Jiang Nan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness from every cell, and fell softly next to the corpse.

Posture, just like a corpse!

"Understood, I understood, the Tedriel Sanctuary is not only capable of trapping intruders, but also exists a certain formation that can quickly drain the life force of intruders!"

Jiang Nan wanted to understand that the temple was devouring his own life, and hurriedly shouted, "Ancient elves, I am here to save the elven king, not your enemy!"

Still no one answered!

And the corpse is decomposing faster and faster!

Jiang Nan also felt that he was getting weaker and weaker, and his eyes were blurred...... The huge elven temple is like a fierce beast in silence, jokingly devouring Jiangnan!

"By the way, I have a token of Princess Yuelan!"

Jiang Nan raised his sour arm, took out the leaf in his mouth, and said hurriedly: "I am the messenger of Princess Yuelan, Yuelan, your descendant, the contemporary ruler of the elven clan!"

"Sure enough, it's Yuelan's token!"

It seemed that he saw the leaves in Jiang Nan's hand, and a voice suddenly sounded.

Jiang Nan didn't even have the strength to turn his head to check, and gasped: "Is it Yuelan's ancestor?" Please lift the ban, I am really sent by your descendants, and I am your friend......

"You don't need to explain, we've already identified you by seeing this elven leaf! ”

Jiang Nan wants to say, since it's confirmed, then let me go quickly!

But the voice didn't give him that chance, and continued, "But ...... Have you seen the corpse beside you, just like you, he is the human messenger of Xerxes, the second prince of the contemporary elven race, and he also wants to go to see the elven king!"

Jiang Nan was stunned, looked at the corpse and said, "Since he is not an enemy, why ......?"

"Why is it not the enemy, and we are going to kill him, right?"

The voice smiled, "Because, he got the question wrong!"

...... Answer the wrong question and die!?

This statement confused Jiangnan!

The voice continued, "There are two rules for the Intruders of the Tedriel Sanctuary - first, if you don't have an Elven token, whoever you are......, you will be killed!

"This opportunity is that we ask you a question, and if you answer correctly, you can pass, and if you answer incorrectly, you will be executed!"

It's very untimely, Jiangnan is ridiculous!

Decide life and death by answering questions, is it a fairy tale of the Thousand and One Nights, or is it a magical show in an insane asylum?

But no matter how absurd the things in front of him are, Jiangnan's body is gradually weakening in the real world!

"Ask me!"

Limbs were weak, Jiang Nan lay on the ground and said.

"Butterfly, or phoenix!?"

The voice said lightly that there was a problem.

Jiang Nan was stunned again when he heard this, and was surprised for a while before he reacted, butterfly, or phoenix, this is a multiple-choice question, let yourself choose between a butterfly and a phoenix.

But...... This question is too vague, and the general multiple-choice questions will always give some selection criteria, such as who is stronger, who is more beautiful, etc., but now, butterfly, or phoenix, what criteria should be chosen according to?

Jiang Nan wanted to ask clearly, but the voice smiled and didn't answer, just said, "With your vitality, you must make a choice within thirty seconds, otherwise even if you answer correctly, you won't have a chance to leave alive." ”

"Okay, let me think about it!"

Jiang Nan frowned.

Butterfly, or Phoenix!?

Choose the right life, choose the wrong death!

There are twenty seconds left in the time limit...... Ten seconds...... Five-second ...... Damn, what criteria do you have to choose?

Do you have to rely on luck to get one!?

The most hated thing in Jiangnan is to rely on luck to decide his life and death!

But there's no time to hesitate!

Butterfly, or Phoenix? Brother, I haven't seen a phoenix, but I have a ghost butterfly tattoo on my back, so choose ...... "butterfly!"

Jiang Nan gambled his life and casually got an answer!

Crunch!

The door to the cloister in front of the corpse opened, and the voice smiled, "Please come over!"

...... That's right!?

Jiang Nan hesitated and stood up, the strength gradually recovering in his body proved that he really got the answer right. Secretly wiping a cold sweat, Jiang Nan said lightly: "Everyone, what does the question just now mean?"

No one answered.

Shrugging his shoulders, Jiangnan walked into the cloister.

Only then did the voice suddenly sound again, "Human!"

Jiang Nan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "I'm listening, do you have any other instructions?"

"You're wondering why we have such a ridiculous rule as 'answering questions to decide life and death,' right?"

Jiang Nan smiled, which was a tacit acquiescence.

"Actually, we don't want to kill either!" the voice sighed, "but there is a secret hidden in the Temple of Tedriel, just in the front cloister, and anyone who walks through the temple can see it...... In order to ensure that this secret is not passed on by the intruders, we have to kill all the intruders. ”

Jiang Nanqi said: "So, I'm about to see that secret, why do I want to let go?"

"Because you got the question right!"

The voice said earnestly, "Butterfly, or Phoenix, and you are entitled to know the secret if you can answer this question correctly, so go ahead and walk through the Temple of Tedriel!"

If you get to the right question, you can know the secret!?

Isn't there something ...... in the brains of these ancient elves? Jiang Nan not only did not relieve his doubts, but felt even more absurd, and after entering the passage, he was still laughing at these ancient elves...... Isn't it old and confused?

But the next second, he couldn't laugh!

On the walls on both sides of the temple passage, as well as on the ceiling at the top, there are three patterns carved that shocked Jiang Nan speechless!

The pattern on the left wall is one golden yellow, three silver, six bronze, nine black iron, a total of twenty butterflies fluttering their wings, and the butterfly bodies of all butterflies are exactly the same as the tattoos on the back of Jiangnan...... Ghost skeletons!

"Four-colored ghost butterfly!?"

Jiang Nan's brain was dizzy for a moment, and he suddenly felt that the butterfly on the pattern seemed to really fly!

And the expressions of the ghost butterflies are very weird, hideous, ferocious, bloodthirsty, these twenty ghost butterflies seem to rush to the opposite side and start a tragic and peerless battle!

Then their opponent is...... Jiang Nan followed the line of sight of the ghost butterfly pattern and saw the wall on the right.

Purple, black, green, white, red!

Five colors, five phoenixes of different colors!

The wall on the right, or the opponent of the four-colored ghost butterfly, turned out to be a five-colored phoenix!

Butterflies and phoenixes...... Jiang Nan vaguely understood the origin of the problem just now, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't compose a clear idea of scattered inspiration.

Shaking his head, Jiang Nan looked up again.

Compared with the shock of the butterfly and the phoenix, the pattern on the top of the head is much plain, only a golden palace, in front of the palace gate, there are three men and three women, six people!

The three women Jiangnan didn't know each other, and two of the three men were very strangers, but the third man was ...... The eyeballs hung out and hung on the bridge of the nose, and it turned out to be hanging eyeballs, ghost angels!

Then these six people are ...... "Angels of Six Desires!?"

Jiang Nan's gaze suddenly returned to the three women, "If these six people are the Angels of the Six Desires, then among these three women, isn't there one woman...... Aunt Elisa!?"

In an instant, Jiangnan's curiosity about this third picture reached its highest point!

There is also a long text under the pattern, and there is no doubt that these words must be explaining the allusion of butterflies and phoenixes, as well as the angels of the six desires!

The passage was dimly lit, and the excited Jiangnan leaned in front of the text, only to see the first line of words written......
