A distance of 100 kilometers was not a long distance for the three of them, but the terrain in the jungle was difficult to navigate, so they did not reach their destination until late at night.

At night, the jungle is very lively, the roars of all kinds of birds and beasts fill the eardrums, and countless pairs of light points of different sizes flicker faintly in the dark forest, drifting back and forth like ghost fire. Occasionally, the trees shook rapidly, and some animal fell into the belly of a predator.

Although intelligence suggests that the enemy's hideout is likely to be nearby, the trio have no choice but to search separately as there is no actual location.

Zhang Lie walked silently through the forest like a ghost, and the night and the dense forest evoked the memories of his deepest slumbering in his body. At that time, he was not Zhang Lie, just a tiger roaring in the mountains and forests, and in those ignorant days, Zhang Lie spent most of his day wandering quietly in such a late night and such a dense forest, hunting all the prey that broke into his territory.

The dusty memory was awakened, and in a trance, the cells of Zhang Lie's entire body became active. He leaped and jumped among the towering trees with ease, taking in all the clues, and even the most alert animal could not detect the monster that swept past him.

Suddenly, Zhang Lie stopped in his tracks, and he crouched on the horizontal branch of a huge tree, looking out through the dense foliage. It was pitch black ahead, and there was nothing unusual, but in Zhang Lie's eyes, he had already seen at least four or five strange places.

In the dark, he smiled quietly: "Found it, it turned out to be here." ”

With a small spell, Zhang Lie typed the pre-agreed contact code, and in a short time Anne and Blatter had jumped to his side. Although there were two more people, the trembling branches did not even shake.

"See?" Zhang Lie stretched out his finger and pointed ahead.

After observing for a moment, Blatter exclaimed, "This is the enchantment that the Feathered Serpent usually uses. ”

Zhang Lie nodded: "Yes, the essence naturally emitted by the trees, as long as it touches any branch and leaf, it will trigger an alarm, this is indeed a common trick of the Feathered Serpent Clan, it seems that this incident is not as simple as it seems." ”

Anne's purple-red pupils continued to expand and shrink like optical lenses in the dark, and after a while, she shook her head and said, "It's a perfect enchantment, it can't be avoided at all, do you have a way?" ”

Zhang Lie honestly spread his hands: "Enchantment is not my forte. ”

Blatter whispered, "Let me do it." ”

Zhang Lie didn't know what Blatter could do, but since he said so, he must have his plans, and the smartest choice at this time was to trust his companions.

It seems that Anne thinks the same way, and she points to a big tree in the distance without hesitation and says, "Do you see anything on that tree?" It was a 'Eidolin', and the caretaker of the barrier. You must kill it instantly, and the barrier will be broken. Attention, once you miss, there is no chance of recovery! ”

Nodding slowly, Blatter lightly tapped the horizontal branch, and the man was already thrown into the dense forest ahead. The wide placket opened in the wind, and he was like a bat in the dark night, silently crossing a perfect trajectory in the air.

Seeing that he was about to touch the trees in the barrier, all of a sudden, Blat's entire body was like ashes blown by the wind, and little by little it turned into white mist with the night wind, escaping between the branches and leaves.

"Good fellow, I almost forgot that this guy was a purebred vampire." Behind, Zhang Lie, who watched Blatter fog with the wind, couldn't help but admire, and at the same time, he also became extremely interested in Blatter's true identity.

Purebred vampires that can move in the sun without hindrance, this is not something that can be encountered all the time.

Just as Zhang Lie sighed, the white mist had crossed the barrier and reached the top of the big tree where the night spirit was lurking. I saw the white mist roll in the air, and a shining sword blade stretched out from its center, and stabbed at the night spirit from top to bottom.

Appearing from the center of the white fog like a demon, Blatter struck with a night wind and lightning. Sensing something strange above his head, the Night Spirit involuntarily raised its head, and then its entire body tightened in fear.

The Demon Sucking Sword pierced into the top of the Night Spirit's head without hindrance, piercing straight through its Heavenly Spirit Cover. From a distance, Blatter's lips squirmed a few times, and in an instant, the inscription on the entire sword blade brightened.

Before he could even scream, the Night Spirit's entire body crumbled under the light of the Demon Sucking Sword. The whole process was like a pantomime, without the slightest sound, which shows the decisiveness of Blatter's action.

However, at the moment when the night spirit dissipated, a little red light exploded in its body, and it spread rapidly like a prairie fire. Blatter was taken aback, and without hesitation, he picked up the red mang and pressed it to his chest.

Zhang Lie saw that Blatter's entire body shook violently, and then he squatted and knelt on the horizontal branch of the giant tree, and the enchantment was lifted at the same time. and Anne exchanged glances, and the two immediately pulled out and threw themselves into each other.

Jumping off the horizontal branch, Zhang Lie said in a low voice: "How are you?" ”

Blatter's chest was torn, and his right hand was dripping with blood, and it seemed that the injury was not light. He shook his head with a calm face: "It's okay, the wound will heal on its own." ”

As he spoke, his palms were already emitting a trace of white gas, but Zhang Lie understood that it would take a considerable amount of time to heal by his own body alone, and it was a critical moment at the moment, and there was no room for the slightest mistake.

Sniffing in the air, Zhang Lie's face was happy. He quickly said to the two, "You wait here, I'll come when I go." As he spoke, he plunged into the dark forest.

About ten minutes later, as a breeze blew, Zhang Lie had returned to Hengzhi, with an unconscious man still under his side. He said to the two, "There is a large pyramid in front of them, and many natives have gathered nearby, and it seems that our target is there. I secretly captured them while they were unprepared. ”

As he spoke, he handed the man in his hand to Blatter: "I caught a virgin for you." ”

Zhang Lie's intentions are very obvious, for vampires, there is no better healing medicine than the blood of a fresh virgin. As long as the girl's blood is sucked, Blatter's injuries will heal immediately.

Unexpectedly, in the face of Zhang Lie's "kindness", Blatter shook his head and refused: "I don't need it." ”

Zhang Lie was really taken aback this time: "Why? ”

Blatter still shook his head: "I can't suck blood, you can let her go." ”

Looking at the pale Blatter in amazement, Zhang Lie became more and more confused about this vampire. Blatter is not without feelings, on the contrary, he also can't escape the blood's doubts about vampires, so Zhang Lie clearly knows what kind of torment Blatter is going through in his heart, however, he will refuse!

Anne also looked quite surprised, for the first time, she looked at Blatter with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Zhang Lie smiled in a low voice: "Really? Suddenly, he stretched out his finger and slashed at the woman's neck.

The muscles and blood vessels were torn, and there was a slight pop, and in an instant, a large stream of blood splattered out, and the entire trunk was immediately stained red. The dripping blood kept dripping, and the thick smell of blood spread.

The muscles on Blatter's face twitched, and his entire face immediately turned extremely pale. His breathing involuntarily became heavier, his aristocratic grace was gone, and his blood-red eyes stared at the girl who was spurting blood.

"Enjoy, you know it's only good for you." Zhang Lie whispered in a seductive voice.

Zhang Lie is not so much helping Blatter heal his wounds as he wants to see Blatter collapse before the temptation of blood. At this time, he was more like a naughty boy who insisted on going his own way.

Blatter's body trembled violently, and his inner struggle was clearly reflected in his expression. The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously from time to time, revealing the snow-white fangs that represented vampires inside.

Finally, Blatter slowly reached out to the girl. He gasped heavily, his will crumbling little by little, and it was conceivable that the moment he came into contact with blood, he would completely return to his vampire nature.

Zhang Lie looked at Blatter's reaction with satisfaction, and squeezed his eyes at Anne proudly. Anne frowned, clearly unimpressed by what he was doing, but she didn't stop it.

Finally, Blatter's trembling hand touched the girl's bleeding neck. However, just when Zhang Lie thought that he would rush up desperately and suck the blood in the girl's body, the unthinkable happened.

Blatter gently stroked the wound on the girl's neck, quickly stopping the bleeding for her. With a hard gasp, he said to Zhang Lie, "Let her go." ”

Looking at Blatter in disbelief, who was still calm, Zhang Lie muttered, "My God, are you really a vampire?"

Ignoring him no more, Blatter took the girl from the stunned Zhang Lie and placed her between the two crossed branches on the lower floor. At this time, Zhang Lie didn't understand how to react, and just watched Blatter's movements blankly.

Oh my God, there are vampires who can suppress their thirst for blood, and they have really found some interesting companions.

When Blatter returned to Hengzhi, Zhang Lie recovered from the shock. He sighed, "Actually, I should have thought to myself when I saw you ignoring the blood all over the ground in that village, what a unique vampire you are. ”

"Perhaps, please don't do the same thing again." Blatter replied calmly.

"If you weren't so soft-hearted with humans, you would be a super-first-class warrior." Anne said to Blatter.

As she spoke, she suddenly raised her bow and threw everything under her, and with a pop, the girl's head between the branches below had been severed by the bowstring and rolled to the ground.

Laugh at... Blatter's eyes lit up, and for the first time, he showed anger.

"First, if she wakes up, she will expose our existence; Second, she had lost so much blood that it was impossible for her to survive, and it was better to die than to suffer slowly. Anne said indifferently at Blatter's anger as if she hadn't seen it.

After a pause, she turned her head to look at Blatter: "If you are not carried away by the thirst for blood, you should think of these two things. I don't know why you don't suck blood, but it's obviously stupid insistence, and I hate people who do boring things for boring reasons. ”

Looking at Anne and Blatter, who were in a tense atmosphere, Zhang Lie couldn't help but laugh and cry. However, somehow, although the three of them often quarreled, Zhang Lie felt a wonderful sense of harmony, and vaguely, he knew that this was the partner he had been looking for and needed.

A partner who can be trusted unreservedly in battle, and can be born and died!

"Okay, okay, let's quarrel and wait until we finish what is in front of you, and now we will be unanimous with the outside world." Zhang Lie began to play round.

Anne was not an ignorant person, so she stopped talking. The three of them cautiously walked through the dense forest and came to the flat-topped pyramid that Zhang Lie had mentioned.

The pyramid is very tall, 50 meters high, and the base of the base is almost half a football field. The surface of the quadrangular staircase leading to the top of the tower is overgrown with weeds and shrubs, and it looks quite old.

Unlike other pyramids, it is the only one standing alone in this dense forest, and there are no other buildings in all directions, which is quite strange. At this time, thousands of natives knelt in the darkness around the tower, and they were prostrate on the ground facing the tower like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, not moving or speaking, and the atmosphere was very strange.

Judging from the ornamentation of these indigenous bodies, they did not belong to the same tribe, and with so many people, it is clear that the nearby indigenous tribes have gathered here. More than a dozen mysterious men who had fought with Zhang Lie and others paced back and forth among the natives, as if guarding them.

"See there?" Suddenly, Anne reached out and pointed to her left.

Following the prestige, I saw that at the entrance to the bottom of the pyramid, there were several stone platforms in the shape of operating tables, and a group of indigenous people knelt in front of the stone platforms in several columns. At this time, a man lay on each stone platform, and several sorcerers wearing feather crowns and painted patterns chanted incomprehensible incantations as they inserted a strange stone tool resembling a knife into the heart of the person on the stone platform.

And beside each stone platform stands a young girl, holding a clay pot decorated with the pattern of Quetzalcoatl. Whenever a sorcerer cut open a person's heart, they would come over the clay pot as if to hold something, and when they were done, they would replace the next group, and several stone platforms would be drenched in blood and stained red.

There was no sound during this strange ritual, not even the person whose heart had been cut open on the stone platform was silent, and there was not a single light around the pyramid, only a bright moon in the middle of the sky that shone a little light from the cracks in the trees. In a trance, this place is like an execution table in the depths of hell, which makes people can't help but feel creepy.

Even the well-informed Zhang Lie and others couldn't help but gasp for what they saw. Feeling more and more unusual here, Zhang Lie gestured for Blatter and Anne to follow him back into the jungle.

"It looks like they're collecting something with living people, and the answer is in the pyramid, and they have to find a way to sneak in." Zhang Lie whispered to the two.

"There are people all around, and there is no way unless you fly over them," Blatter said. ”

"Fly?" Zhang Lie was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Anne with Blat.

Facing the eyes of the two, Anne snorted, "Leave it to me." ”

A moment later, with a slight flapping of her wings, Anne grabbed Zhang Lie and Blatter with her feet and flew into the sky, flying past the dense kneeling crowd below towards the center of the pyramid. With the help of the maintenance of demonic power, Anne's wings remained motionless, as if she were ******, and she swept a distance of dozens of meters without making a sound.

Descending to the middle of the pyramid, the trio immediately disappeared into the dark shadows. Raising his hand to signal the two of them to wait for a while, Zhang Lie pressed the stone brick under him with his hand, and silently recited a string of incantations.

A cloud of gray-black gas immediately rose from his palm, which dipped into the stone bricks little by little, and soon eroded the outer wall of the pyramid into a large hole for people to enter and exit. After probing sideways for a moment to make sure that there was no one inside, the three of them slipped through the hole in turn.

It was a stone path that was built along the cave wall and led to a winding stone path below, with a faint glow of fire and a cacophony coming from below. All three have good night vision, and can see clearly and unobstructed even in such an environment.

Descending slowly down the stone steps, they soon approached the bottom floor. Hiding behind a stone pillar in a corner, the trio looked down and were immediately amazed by what they saw.

Nearly half of the vast space on the ground floor is occupied by a huge statue of Quetzalcoatl. The statue is lifelike carved out of stone, with a sinuous snake body coiling around the cave wall, a snake neck protruding into the air, a huge snake head looking down condescendingly, and a wide open mouth that threatens to devour everything in sight.

Several bonfires were lit on the ground, and the flames reflected the surroundings. In front of the statue, the place where the wings of the Quetzalcoatl God meet to form a pedestal, a strange egg more than one person high, translucent, with ribbed knots on the surface is placed inside, and a black shadow can be faintly seen in the egg.

The body of the egg has several vessel-like things connected to the bottom, and the end of each vein opens like the mouth of a leech, and several wizards are holding the clay pots held by the girls outside, connecting the mouth of the jar to the top, as if offering something to the egg above.

Every few moments, the wizard would throw the empty pot aside, and new pots would be brought in all the time. Several men with carved patterns on their bodies stood aside, their eyes burning at the wizard's busyness, presumably guards.

It was clear that these people were trying to hatch something in that egg, and the slaughtered natives were acting as nourishment. Now Zhang Lie understood what the "Marudo" and "god" in the mouth of the sorcerer in the village meant.

At that moment, I heard a loud scuffle from the other end of the hall, and several men escorted a group of people over. Staring at the past, Zhang Lie was taken aback: "It's the other three groups!" ”

It was the members of the fourth, fifth, and fifth groups of the first group who were escorted over, all three of them were covered in bruises, and the sphinx warrior from the first group had both hands broken, and both shoulders and arms were dripping with blood.

Anne and Blatter also exchanged a look of surprise, although they had already guessed that the other group had been killed, but they were still shocked to see it with their own eyes at this moment. You must know that although they are not as good as the three of them, they are also famous warriors of various races, and it is really surprising that they were all lost in the dense forest this time.

The three warriors were escorted to the idol, and the men immediately fixed their bodies to the left and right, and the sorcerer immediately walked towards them with his veins in his arms.

Under Zhang Lie's gaze, the large tentacles stretched out from those veins, like the purple-red tentacles of the sea anemone's tentacles rolling towards the three warriors. The sphinx warrior and the other man were swept up in the tentacles, and the tentacles covered their bodies as they screamed, and their bodies shook like electrocution.

Slowly, as the tentacles continued to squirm, their bodies slowly shrank as if they had been sucked dry, and the eggs on the pedestal also accelerated to agitate.

Seeing the tragic situation of the two being killed earlier, the last Daredevil warrior was terrified. Driven by the instinct to survive, and I don't know where he got the strength, he suddenly broke free from the man who restrained his siblings, turned around and ran away.

The Daredevil had ghostly mobility at night, and the man had reached the entrance of the temple before the man in charge of him had even reacted. Seeing that the Daredevil man was about to escape, he suddenly heard a crackling explosion in mid-air, and a thunder pillar with a thick arm fell into the air.

The Daredevil warrior who was about to dodge out was hit in the head by the thunder pillar, as if he had been hit by a sledgehammer, and his body flew up into the air and hit the wall in front of him, and then fell to the ground. This blow was extremely powerful, and a large puff of black smoke rose from his body, and the smell of burning muscles immediately diffused.
