Chapter 149: The Temple
"What's going on?" Li Xiu saw that Chu Jun's expression was wrong, and hurriedly asked.
Chu Jun stammered, "I sensed ...... Sensing ...... There are a lot of S-class demons here......"
"Here? Outside the yard? Li Xiu looked around, but found nothing.
"It's not...... Only...... This is ......" Chu Jun pointed to the main hall where they were, and then pointed to the courtyard outside, and said incoherently: "Here...... And outside...... All of them are demons...... A lot...... A lot...... I can't sense the level...... I can't feel the name ......."
Hearing Chu Jun say this, Li Xiu's heart suddenly felt a chill, his first reaction was that there were many demon spirits that they couldn't see, and they were now in the main hall and courtyard, maybe there were invisible demon spirits who opened their mouths wide, revealing their bloody fangs, and were about to swallow his head.
Thinking of this, the goosebumps on Li Xiu's body rose, and he summoned all the demon spirits that could be summoned without hesitation.
All kinds of demon spirits formed a circle, surrounding him and Chu Jun in the middle.
The two men kept looking at the gloomy hall, but they couldn't see anything, and they couldn't hear anything.
"How many demons are there? Where are they and can they be sensed? Li Xiu's eyes kept searching, and his ears were pricked up, but he still didn't find anything, and there was no clue at all.
This made Li Xiu even more uneasy, he believed in Chu Jun, and Chu Jun never let him down, Chu Jun said that there are so many demon spirits, then there must be, but where are those demon spirits?
"I don't know, there are a lot, so many that I can't count them, they seem to be everywhere......" Chu Jun sensed over and over again, but the results were the same.
Small kiosk
"A lot...... Too many to count...... Everywhere......" Li Xiu seemed to think of something, and his face was a little difficult to look at: "I'm afraid that this time we are really in trouble, use your light energy body, don't stop." ”
Although Chu Jun didn't understand why Li Xiu said this, he immediately did what Li Xiu said.
The white lotus light with blood light appeared on Chu Jun's body, making Chu Jun's body exude a glowing light.
Li Xiu's body had also emitted a white fluorescence, which was the light energy that belonged to the forbidden spear.
"What's going on? What did you find? Chu Jun asked.
"There are a lot of demon spirits, everywhere, but they can't be seen, then there is only one possibility, those demon spirits are as small as bacteria, so small that our naked eyes can't see them at all. I suspect that those people were not gnawed to death by demons at all, but probably by those tiny demons that could not be seen. Li Xiu said his guess.
Chu Jun was terrified when he heard this, if it was really like what Li Xiu said, when they didn't use light energy to protect their bodies before, those invisible demon spirits, weren't it because they had drilled into their bodies, maybe they were gnawing their internal organs inside at this time.
"No, I didn't sense the presence of demons in our bodies." Chu Jun realized that there was a loophole in Li Xiu's speculation.
If there was a demon spirit that had already penetrated into their body, he should have sensed it, but he didn't feel the presence of a demon spirit in his body.
"If we don't have it in our body, it means that those tiny demons can't directly invade our body, or they may invade our body and put them in danger. But there must be an opportunity for them to invade, otherwise those who entered here before us would not have died. Li Xiu groaned.
"What was that trigger?" Chu Jun couldn't figure it out.
"I don't know." Although Li Xiu speculated that those tiny demon spirits should not be able to harm their bodies for the time being, they still maintained the light energy on their bodies, and there was no harm in being careful.
He withdrew his demons, those demons were useless, no matter how strong they were, they couldn't fight the demons as small as bacteria.
Li Xiu's gaze fell on the corpse in the main hall, and he once again looked at the corpse's wounds.
After looking at it for a while, Li Xiu suddenly got closer, looked carefully again, and his face became more and more strange.
"What did you find?" Chu Jun followed, and after looking at it for a while, he didn't find any problems.
"It seems that there is something wrong with my previous speculation, these trialists were not devoured by those tiny demons and died." Li Xiu said in a deep voice.
Chu Jun let out a long sigh of relief when he heard this, if he had to choose, he would rather encounter those powerful demon spirits that he couldn't defeat, rather than face those enemies that were so small that he couldn't even see them.
The unknown is the most frightening, and the unseen is more likely to be afraid.
"No, how did they die?" Chu Jun asked.
"They were bitten to death, I originally thought they were bitten to death by demon spirits, but now after a closer look, I realized that maybe it was not the demon spirits that bit them, and the injuries on their bodies looked more like they were bitten by human teeth......"
The goosebumps on Chu Jun's body burst instantly, his teeth chattered, and he said with a forced smile: "It's impossible, how can a person bite someone?" And bite people like this, are they all crazy? ”
"Maybe it's really crazy, just now I meant that they weren't eaten up by those tiny demon spirits and died, but I didn't say that those tiny demon spirits didn't exist, maybe it was because of their existence that they infected these humans like a virus, making them become carnivorous monsters, eating each other, and becoming the current situation...... Li Xiu said slowly.
Chu Jun's back was cold when he listened: "Then will we ......?"
"Yes." Without waiting for Chu Jun to finish speaking, Li Xiu replied with certainty.
"How can you be sure that we're going to be like that...... We're not in a good position right now, and we don't have anything to do at all...... Maybe we're much better than those trialists...... Our physique and light energy are enough to resist those virus demon spirits you said......" Chu Jun didn't really want to refute Li Xiu, he was just comforting himself.
"As long as we can't get out, that's the inevitable result. In fact, if we really don't go out, even if those virus-like demons don't turn us into carnivorous monsters, we will starve to death here. Li Xiu said lightly.
"That's right, but I'd rather starve to death than become that kind of monster." Chu Jun smiled bitterly.
"If you don't want to die, you can only find a way to go back." Li Xiu summoned the pink dream demon as he spoke, rode to the courtyard, and observed the dead corpses in the courtyard.
Chu Jun wanted to go out with him, but was stopped by Li Xiu.
"Don't come out, there are blood stains everywhere outside, and the way those viruses and demons invade may also be blood-spread." Li Xiu said.
Chu Jun hurriedly stopped and looked at Li Xiu in the main hall.
Li Xiu didn't want to come out, but there was no good way, he had to find a way to go back, otherwise the two of them would die sooner or later.
The Pink Dream Demon walked through the courtyard with blood stains, heading in the direction of the courtyard gate.
"Did you sense the presence of a demon spirit on the Pink Dream Demon?" Li Xiu asked as he walked.
"No, I didn't sense that there was a demon spirit in the Pink Dream Demon's body." Chu Jun hurriedly replied.
Li Xiu was glad that he brought Chu Jun in, otherwise he wouldn't know how he would have died if he died.
When he came to the gate of the courtyard, the gate was open, Li Xiu looked outside, it was a square, and there were more corpses in the square, which made Li Xiu very strange.
Looking at the state of these corpses, the time of death will not be too long, at most a year and a half, and some corpses seem to have been dead for a month or two.
From the point of view of time, these trialists are likely to be the ones that Boss Qiu brought in, but how could so many people enter the trial place?
Could it be that they all have the ability to complete the final trial, and even if they all have the ability to complete the final trial, is it that their luck is so good that they just happened to get the admission ticket randomly?
Li Xiu didn't believe that people with so much good luck would easily get tickets unless they were rewarded by the Golden Gate Proving Ground, or they would inevitably get tickets.
Before, Li Xiu still felt why there were no regular rewards such as attributes and magic cores in the rewards, but now it seems that it is probably to increase the probability of the appearance of admission tickets.
Li Xiu didn't know why this trial ground was so special, but he didn't have the heart to think about it so much, he had to find a way to go back.
Riding the pink dream demon out of the courtyard, Li Xiu found that this was indeed a place similar to a temple.
The courtyard where they were located was the left courtyard of this temple-like building, and on the opposite side of the square, there was a corresponding right courtyard.
In the direction of the square, there is an even more magnificent temple, which is supposed to be the main hall here.
It's a pity that the doors of the right courtyard and the main hall are tightly closed, and I don't know if there is anything inside.
On the opposite side of the main hall, there is a closed gate, which should be the gate that leads to the outside from the temple, and Li Xiu naturally will not open that gate.
The temple should be a place similar to the Black Death City, he is in the temple, and the immortal lantern will still follow him, and if he leaves the temple, the immortal lantern may not follow him anymore, and it will be even more difficult to get out.
Although Li Xiu speculated that all the places of trial were connected, and if he walked to other places of trial, he might have a chance to go back, but who knew how long it would take to reach other places of trials? Who knows how many terrifying and unknown demons will be on the road?
Instead of fighting for the illusory hope, it was better to find a way back alive here, at least they already knew that there was a demon spirit everywhere that was too small to be seen.
After carefully searching the square, Li Xiu found this temple very strange.
Most temples will have a lot of mysterious symbols or patterns, or statues and paintings.
But there is nothing here, whether it is the left courtyard or the right courtyard, or even on the central hall, there is not even a plaque.
Not to mention the text, except for the statues of the gods I saw before, there is not even a mural.
Only outside the door of the central hall, there are two gatekeepers on the left and on the right, just like a pair of stone lions in front of the ancient mansion.
It's just that unlike the stone lions, these two gatekeepers are curled up, lying on the ground with their heads and tails together, and they look like they are sleeping.
"There are no other demon spirits, could it be said that those virus demon spirits need to be destroyed, as long as they are destroyed, they can use the immortal lamp to go back?" Li Xiu thought to himself: "How can I kill those virus demon spirits?" ”
"If it's just an ordinary virus, it can be solved with high temperature, alcohol or disinfectant, but these are demons. If you have a magic suit, you can use a high-power magic light to illuminate them, and you may be able to kill them. But as a trialist, the level of light energy on my body is not high, and the range of radiation is limited, even if I can kill some of the virus demon spirits, it is difficult to kill them all......" Li Xiu thought about it, and there was no good way, so he could only try it first.
He returned to the Left Courtyard, where the demons were most concentrated, and Li Xiu summoned the Jedi Knight.
A B-rank Jedi Knight is considered to be the strongest combat power in Li Xiu's hands, and his light energy is also the strongest.
"Chu Jun, let's do an experiment, I will let the Jedi release the blood light slash, you carefully sense, where the blood light slash passes, has the demon spirit decreased." After Li Xiu told Chu Jun, he let the Jedi release the Blood Light Slash.
A crescent-shaped blood-colored knife light burst out, slashed through a distance of dozens of meters, and slashed at the wall of the courtyard, leaving a deep mark on the wall before it completely dissipated.
The Jedi's current Blood Light Slash is obviously much stronger than when he was in the C rank.
"No, those demons have not diminished." Seeing Li Xiu coming over, Chu Jun said with a wry smile.
"Doesn't it work at all?" Li Xiu frowned and asked.
"Even if it had an effect, it was minimal, at least I didn't sense a large number of demons disappearing." Chu Jun replied.
"Then it's a bit troublesome, the demon spirits that can't be destroyed by light energy mean that it's likely that the light energy on our bodies is useless and can't resist their invasion." While Li was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a howl outside.
Oh!
A sound like a wolf's howl came from outside, and Li Xiu hurriedly rushed to the gate of the courtyard to look out, and when he saw the situation outside, he was slightly stunned.
I don't know when, the statues of the two gatekeepers in front of the main hall gate actually stood up, turned into a posture of looking up at the sky, and howled like hungry wolves.
Their eyes glowed red with blood, and they seemed to be staring at the sky.
"Blood Moon!" Li Xiu followed their gaze, and he didn't know when, the moon hanging in the sky turned bloody.
The bloody moonlight fell, giving the already eerie temple a layer of blood light, and it became even more demonic.
Li Xiu was horrified to find that under the illumination of the blood-colored moonlight, there seemed to be countless red points of light surging in the air inside the temple.
The tiny blood-colored dots of light were barely visible, and they would not have been visible to the naked eye if it weren't for the blood moon that made them fluoresce.
They are like a beam of light that shines into the darkness and can only be seen in the beam.
Even if there is light energy to protect the body, but people always have to gasp, and between that exhalation and inhalation, a large number of red light spots are sucked into the body.
Li Xiu was shocked, and the light energy on his body exploded, driving away the dense points of light, and at the same time stopped breathing, and quickly rushed into the temple of the left courtyard.
Although there were fewer red points of light in the temple, they were all the same, and the few were almost negligible.
Chu Jun was looking at those points of light with a shocked expression, and Li Xiu looked at Chu Jun and found a strange phenomenon.
Those blood-colored points of light didn't even get close to Chu Jun.
"Chu Jun, your white lotus seems to be able to restrain those virus-like demon spirits." Li Xiu reacted immediately.
Hearing this, Chu Jun hurriedly summoned the white lotus, saying that it was a white lotus, but now it was white inside and red outside, exuding a blood-like red light, which was very similar to the color of those virus demon spirits.
Chu Jun let the white lotus shine, and when the light touched those red dots, a large number of red dots immediately went out, as if they had been burned into ashes by the flames.
Both of them were overjoyed, Chu Jun never thought that his White Lotus Symbiosis Contract, which only had healing powers, would be able to kill the demon spirit.
He waved the white lotus and rushed to the nearby place where there were many blood-colored points of light, and one after another red points of light went out.
But there were too many blood-colored points of light, and the white lotus's light energy killed a piece, and immediately a large number of red points of light rushed over, filling the previous vacancy, and the white lotus couldn't burn it no matter how much it burned.
"Chu Jun, take the hat." Li Xiu threw his gentleman's hat at Chu Jun.
Chu Jun didn't care much at this time, he directly grabbed the gentleman's hat and put it on, and immediately felt a strange energy fill his body, as if he had taken a stimulant, his whole body had inexhaustible strength, and the light on the white lotus became much stronger.
If it could only be regarded as a torch just now, the light flame on the white lotus now is like a bonfire.
Chu Jun relied on the light of the white lotus to burn the red dots around him, and a large area of red dots was wiped out.
"Get on the horse, let's rush out." Li Xiu saw that the red dots couldn't be burned no matter how much they burned, and he knew that there was no way to go on like this, and he needed to solve the root cause of the problem.
Chu Jun flew on the horse, Li Xiu's legs clamped, the pink dream demon hissed, charged in the dense red points of light, and rushed out of the courtyard directly, rushing towards the two gatekeeper beast statues at the entrance of the main hall.
Li Xiu guessed that they were the root cause of these virus demon spirits, and only by killing them could he truly destroy these virus demon spirits.
The more he went to the side of the gatekeeper beast, the more red light spots in the air, Li Xiu couldn't hold his breath anymore, he could only impose the light energy on his body, and he no longer held his breath, and between exhaling and inhaling, he inhaled a large number of red light spots.
Li Xiu couldn't see it himself, his eyes were already full of red bloodshots, and those bloodshots all exuded blood-colored fluorescence, making Li Xiu's eyes look extremely demonic.
"Li Xiu, your eyes!" Chu Jun was startled when he saw Li Xiu's eyes.
Even if he was wearing a dark mirror, he could still see that under the black lens, Li Xiu's eyes were shining bloody, like a ghost.
Li Xiu had already seen that there was something wrong with his eyes from Chu Jun's childish hole, and gritted his teeth and said, "Kill those two guys first." ”
He drew his Fire Lotus Sword and summoned the Demigod Moment and the Jedi at the same time, charging towards the two Gatekeeper Stone Statues.
