Chapter VII
"This is!?" Zhang Lie, who was watching from afar, felt a pang in his heart.
Controlling thunder and lightning is a unique skill of the Quetzalcoatl Clan, and to be able to summon such a powerful thunder pillar, the other party must be a rare master among the Quetzalcoatl Clan. Contact the outer enchantment, and the mystery is already coming out.
Looking at Anne and Blatter's expressions, it was clear that they had the same doubts. Under the gaze of the three of them, a person slowly walked in through the passage leading to the outside of the hall.
It was a diminutive man with distinctly South American Aboriginal appearance, brown skin, a checkered carpet draped diagonally, and some jade and bone ornaments hanging from his body. Although the man is not tall, he is quite generous in his actions, and he is obviously a person who is usually high.
Seeing him, Zhang Lie and the three of them were all taken aback. Because this man is none other than Archpriest Marcus, who disappeared from the front of the Quetzalcoatl.
"How could it be him?" Anne exclaimed.
Zhang Lie smiled: "Isn't the answer obvious, everything is this guy doing ghosts." ”
By this time Marcus had gone to the temple and said something to several wizards in the native language, and they replied in the same language. He then nodded, a satisfied expression on his face.
Walking to the side of the Daredevil warrior, Marcus said coldly, "I didn't expect that the clan would be so stupid as to ask the Alliance to send you waste to investigate. "This time he used the lingua franca.
The Daredevil warrior turned over and said weakly, "What exactly do you want to do?" ”
Marcus snorted, "You don't need to know this, just sacrifice it to Quetzalcoatl." ”
As he spoke, several men stepped up and dragged the Daredevil warrior under the idol, and a wizard immediately pulled a vein. In a moment, at the screams of the Daredevil warrior, he was also sucked.
Seeing that the agitation in the egg above became more and more urgent, Marcus said with satisfaction: "It is worthy of being a warrior selected by various races, it seems that it will not take long for the great Quetzalcoatl God to be reincarnated." ”
"Quetzalcoatl?" Hearing his words, the three of them couldn't help but look at each other.
It seems that Marcus is indeed plotting to resurrect something, and it seems that it is the supreme god of the Feathered Serpent Clan. However, although Zhang Lie and others are more often in contact with mysterious things such as demons than humans, they also do not believe in the existence of gods, because non-human races are nothing more than another life form different from humans.
But everything in this temple, the natives who were willing to be sacrificed outside, and all the mysteries, seemed to be a sign that Marcus was right. Looking at the strange egg held up by the huge Quetzalcoatl statue, it seems that a god can really emerge from it in a trance.
There have been so many strange things happening in this jungle that it wouldn't be too surprising if anything else appeared.
"I don't know what's in that egg, but it looks like it's quite a nuisance." Zhang Lie said.
Blatter said in a deep voice, "Do you want to notify the Alliance?" This time it's not as simple as it seems. ”
Anne couldn't help but snort: "Coward, don't you dare to do anything without the alliance?" ”
didn't expect this to be able to quarrel, Zhang Lie couldn't cry or laugh: "Two, now is not the time to quarrel." But Anne was right, if she left, who knows what Marcus would do. Anyway, our purpose is to solve this matter, and since we have encountered the reason, there is naturally no reason to let go. ”
After a pause, Blatter finally nodded: "Since that's the case, let's do it." ”
Marcus gave some more instructions to the wizards and left the temple. Although they have only been working together for a short time, the three of them already have a considerable tacit understanding, and they only silently compared a few gestures with each other, and they already understand what they should do.
Standing up from his hiding place, Zhang Lie formed a blazing flame in each of his hands, and then flicked it downward: "Vermilion Bird Flame Feather!" ”
In an instant, I saw a rain of feathers formed by countless flames falling downward, enveloping the entire temple in an instant. At the same time, Anne also stood up, shook her bow in her hand, and fired a barrage of arrows at several of the guards under the idol.
Suddenly attacked, everyone below didn't have time to react for a while, and watched the fire feathers floating down from the sky. As soon as he touched his body, several wizards screamed, and his body was instantly enveloped in flames.
Immediately after that, a few muffled sounds pierced through the flesh, and the black arrows fired by Anne accurately pierced the bodies of the guards. Under the strong impact, several people should not be nailed to the ground.
What kind of people are the three of them, under the deliberate surprise attack, as soon as they make a move, it is a thunderous momentum, and the people below have no power to parry at all. In the blink of an eye, the entire temple was already on fire, and all the wizards turned into fire men, and nearly half of the guards were also pierced through their bodies by Annie's powerful arrows.
"What people!" The survivors exclaimed loudly, searching in vain for traces of the attackers in the thick of smoke.
At this moment, a figure jumped up from mid-air, like a giant black bat, across the sky above the temple and threw the egg on the idol, it was Blatter. With a sonorous sword in his hand, Blatter gripped the hilt of the sword with both hands and stabbed straight at the monster.
With a loud bang, a burst of blazing light burst out on the surface of the entire egg, and the seemingly fragile eggshell was unharmed by the direct stab of the Demon Sucking Sword. Suddenly, Blatt pressed down with force, and suddenly saw the blood lines on the surface of the eggshell bulging, and instantly he felt that he was holding his sword into a thick quagmire, and he had a feeling of strength and nowhere to go.
Just as he was about to break the eggshell with the incantation, Blat's heart flashed with an alarm. Without thinking much about it, he violently drew his sword and jumped to the side, and at the same time, he heard a crackling explosion, and a beam of thunder light went straight down.
With a bang, the entire base of the idol was shattered by the thunderbolt, stone chips flew everywhere, and a strong smell of sulfur filled the air. With the force of the explosion, the egg was also thrown into the hands of one of the people below.
Holding the monster with one hand, Marcus looked at the chaotic temple with an angry face: "There are even rats that have slipped through the net, kill them for me!" ”
The guards who came in with him climbed the wall like geckos and rushed towards Zhang Lie and Anne. With a cold snort, Anne turned the arrow, her fingers pulled the bowstring again and again, and in the continuous popping sound, the powerful arrows flew down one after another, and the guards continued to fall in the middle, but there were still many evasions and approaching.
When they were still a few meters away from the two of them, the four guards had already leaped up and rushed towards Zhang Lie in the air. In the face of the four people in mid-air, Zhang Lie did not dodge or dodge, bent over and bowed his hands in front of him, and shook violently.
Hearing a bang, a white mango exploded in an instant, and several guards were thrown away like kites before they could get close. At the same time, a figure flickered in the smoke, and a person leaped down to take Marcus.
After a few spins and stabs, Marcus circled his hands and touched it, and a slender blade was already caught by the thunder in his palm. With a crackling sound, cyan electricity spread up the blade, quickly enveloping the attacker's entire body.
"No wonder you can find this place, you are indeed different from the garbage." Marcus muttered.
Clenching the hilt of his sword with both hands, Blatter resisted the current that invaded his body. Suddenly, his eyes froze, his arms pressed forward, and the condensed current was forcibly dispersed, and the two of them retreated.
"High priest of the Quetzalcoatl, it turns out that you are pretending to be a ghost. I heard that the Quetzalcoatl clan has also killed many warriors because of this, don't you even let go of your own people? As he spoke, Zhang Lie and Anne also jumped down.
Waving his hand to stop the guards who were about to rush behind him, Marcus looked at the three of them coldly. After a while, he said, "It's really surprising that there are masters like you among the people sent by the Alliance. Everything I did was for the Quetzalcoatl, and there was no way to sacrifice it before that. ”
Anne said disdainfully: "What a big excuse, although I don't know what your intentions are, but it is really ridiculous to impose personal *** on the entire clan." ”
Silenced for a moment by Annie's words, Marcus said slowly: "You can't understand my behavior at all, just like those dead-headed elders in the tribe, looking ahead and looking ahead, all these years to get the great Quetzalcoatl to such a field, no small matter can be solved, and you have to turn to the alliance for help." But everything will change with the birth of Quetzalcoatl...", he said, glancing at the egg in his hand in awe.
Seeing that he repeatedly mentioned the word "Quetzalcoatl", Zhang Lie couldn't help but say, "What is that?" ”
Marcus smiled deeply: "This is the egg that gave birth to the great Quetzalcoatl, from which will hatch the supreme god of heaven and earth. A year ago, when I got my hands on the long-lost Mayan Vault of the Cakabido Slate, I knew the time had come to change the fate of the Quetzalcoatl. ”
As he spoke, Marcus's eyes flashed with anger: "I have done my best in the past year, even risking betraying my people, just waiting for this moment to come. Fortunately, the fools of the Alliance have sent you here, and after absorbing your demonic energy, the day of the birth of Quetzalcoatl is approaching, how can I let you stinky rats make trouble! ”
Zhang Lie said to Anne and Blatter with a smile: "It turns out that things are unexpectedly simple, one person's ambition will make the whole rainforest jump, and those guys who died for this matter really don't know how to feel." Quetzalcoatl? Tut... I thought that only human beings would do anything in the name of God, but it turns out that there are also such people in the non-human race who want to use ethereal things to achieve their own ugly *** guys..."
Saying that, he looked up and said, "To be honest, I've been seriously investigating this matter these days, and I really feel ridiculous when I think about it now, but because of this, I have met two good partners, so I should still thank you." No matter how high-sounding your excuse may be, it's the key to whether or not we'll be able to achieve our goal, and I know you're not going to hand it over obediently, and it seems that only the bottom of your hand will see the real thing. ”
As if hearing something ridiculous, Marcus suddenly burst into laughter: "Do you think you can really succeed if you succeed in the moment? Despicable rats, you are just doomed to death! ”
Raising his right arm, Marcus shouted, "Appear, great god of the jungle, these lowly creatures are a sacrifice to you!" ”
Before the words fell, a violent tremor was heard, and the entire temple shook. At the same time, with a loud bang, large chunks of rock fell to the ground, and when you looked closely, they were peeling off from the huge statue of the god.
As the stone fell off, something inside the idol began to wriggle, as if it was still wrapped in a living thing. Shocked, Zhang Lie hurriedly reminded: "Be careful, there are weirdness there!" ”
Shhh With a hiss, the entire idol writhed as if it had come to life, and at the same time, a huge feathered serpent with scaly claws on its belly and wings on its back swooped out and struck the three of them in the air.
At the same time, the three of them each jumped away quickly, and the huge snake's head hit the ground with a loud bang, and immediately smashed the stone slab on the ground into debris, and the guards who had been watching for a long time also pounced.
"Good guy, you've really created a lot of monsters..."Several vertical leaps jumped into the air of the stone wall, Zhang Lie leaned over the wall, and looked at the dragon-like Quetzalcoatl below.
Suddenly, he felt something, and before he could think about it, Zhang Lie bent his knees and jumped into the air, and at the same time, there was an explosion behind him, and a beam of lightning slashed down out of thin air, splitting a deep pit on the wall where he had just stood.
It's Marcus again, Zhang Lie's body in mid-air has been turned over. He was about to launch a counterattack, when he suddenly felt that the light above his head was dim and seemed to be covered by something, and he looked up in shock, only to find that the feathered snake had come behind him at some point, and the large open mouth of the snake was biting him.
In desperation, he had no choice but to give up the spell, and Zhang Lie reached his side with his right palm. A pillar of wind struck, and under the impetus of the reaction force, he dodged and avoided it the moment the snake's mouth snapped.
By this time the temple was in chaos, with burning flames and smoke everywhere, and Blatter and Anne couldn't stop jumping and jumping and fighting with the guards. The raging Quetzalcoatl destroyed the temple even more, sweeping down bricks with almost every movement, and it looked like the entire pyramid would collapse before long.
At a glance, Zhang Lie saw Marcus walking towards the exit of the temple surrounded by several guards, and knew that he must not be allowed to leave here, once he was allowed to escape into the jungle, there would be endless trouble.
