Chapter 228: Candle Flame

Deep in the mountains shrouded in night, a majestic temple emits a faint fluorescence.

A group of people who were hurrying in the night were hurrying outside the temple at this moment.

The constricted door of the temple seemed to sense the breath of the living, and it creaked and slowly opened automatically.

Zhou Fan and others, who hurried overnight, stepped into the temple as soon as possible.

And the two priests outside the temple are fighting with dozens of strange black shadows hidden in the night at this moment.

Those weird black shadows attacked everyone along the way, causing more than a dozen people to be killed and injured in the team where Zhou Fan and the others were.

If it weren't for the two sacrificial guards, I'm afraid Zhou Fan and the others would have to be wiped out.

Zhou Fan, who fled into the temple, was a little apprehensive at the moment, and he was also shocked that there was a shadow demon here.

He had seen this so-called shadow demon in the ancestral land of the Zhou family, and it came from the shadow coffin.

The world of the ninth coffin that I entered this time seems to be hiding many secrets that no one knows.

There was a faint light emanating from the majestic temple, and when Zhou Fan and the others entered the main hall, they found that the main hall was extremely narrow and spacious.

It is like a palace, with towering statues of gods standing in the center and around the palace.

As far as the eye can see, the statues on the left and right sides of the palace are dedicated to all kinds of birds and beasts, as well as all kinds of human beings with strange heads and beasts.

"Don't act rashly, those statues can't be easily touched!"

Just as someone curiously stepped forward to touch the idol, the priest who flew into the temple reminded in a deep voice.

Several teenagers were startled when they heard this, and hurriedly withdrew the hand they were about to stretch out.

"Humph! You two came pretty fast! ”

At this moment, a cold snort sounded.

I saw a man with a red grimace mask, Wang Qiang, Wang Jiyi and others from Wangjia Village coming from outside the temple.

Wang Qiang, who stepped into the temple, instantly fell on Zhou Fan with resentful eyes.

His injuries were almost healed, but some injuries would never heal and regenerate.

Zhou Fan naturally noticed Wang Qiang's resentful gaze, but he didn't pay attention to it.

His gaze was a little curious, but instead fell on the man wearing the red grimace mask.

"He's a rakshasa! Inherited the bloodline and power of the ghost god Rakshasa! ”

"It's also a sacrifice chosen by the temple!"

At this time, the priest wearing a purple-gold mask walked up to Zhou Fan and whispered to him.

Also at the same time, there was a roar of fighting outside the temple.

Immediately afterward, several more groups entered the temple.

Zhou Fan carefully looked at those who came in and found that the leaders were all wearing masks.

He counted them and saw that there were nine of them, all wearing different colors of patterned grimace masks.

If the guess is correct, the identities of these nine people should all be sacrifices.

Each of them led a young man or girl who had just come of age, and it was likely that they all had their own goals.

After all, doing good deeds without leaving a name, the aura of the nine people is extremely powerful, how can they have spare time to worry about bringing people to this so-called temple all day long.

If there is no benefit, he will not believe Zhou Fan killed.

There was silence in the temple for a while, and after the nine priests gathered together, they seemed to communicate with each other and talk to each other.

Soon, Zhou Fan and the others were arranged to worship the three statues of gods enshrined in the center of the hall.

The statue on the left is a man with a dragon's head, and the one on the right is a woman's head with a snake's head.

The idol enshrined in the center is a burly Terran man holding an axe in his left hand and a flaming chalice in his right.

"The three idols in front of you are the ancestors of my human race!"

"Whether or not you can obtain divine power and inherit it today depends on your respective creations."

"Wait and worship with us!"

The nine priests took out all kinds of food and placed them on the sacrificial table, and then led Zhou Fan and the others to bow to the statue.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner in secret, and when Zhou Fan bowed to the three gods, he suddenly felt that the eyes of the three gods seemed to fall on him.

This is a very special kind of induction, and the idol is still the same as the idol without the slightest change.

But Zhou Fan just had an intuition, that is, the three gods were all watching him.

The feeling of being exposed to broad daylight made Zhou Fan a little frightened.

Before he could react, the sacrificial ritual had been completed.

"There are hundreds of statues of gods in this hall, and according to your own senses, as long as you can get the approval of the gods, you can put your hands on the statues and obtain the inheritance of divine power."

"But there is one thing you must remember, when the idol has not summoned you, you must not reach out to the idol or you will be wiped out in an instant."

A man wearing a black mask was reminding Zhou Fan and the others in the hall at this moment.

Everyone was a little shocked when they heard this, they didn't expect the idol to be so dangerous.

Some people who were eager to touch the idol were so frightened that they felt as if they had walked around the ghost gate.

"Humph! A bunch of cowards! ”

Wang Qiang of Wangjia Village snorted coldly, and looked at Zhou Fan and the others, who were silent at the moment, with disdain.

He was a person who had received the inheritance of divine power, and this time he was just accompanying Wang Jiyi.

This time, he also wanted to try his luck to see if he could get the inheritance of divine power again.

Zhou Fan ignored Wang Qiang's cynicism, and after he saw that the nine priests had all retreated outside the hall, he turned around and walked towards the statue of the god enshrined on the left side of the hall.

These gods were strangely shaped, but Zhou Fan recognized that there were legendary divine beasts among them, such as the phoenix, the divine dragon, the nine-tailed fox, and the Bifang divine bird.

On the left and right sides of the temple, almost all kinds of sacred beasts are carved, and some of them are beasts and human heads.

He didn't sense the summoning from the idols, so he didn't dare touch them.

Just as he went deeper into the temple, he suddenly felt as if a mysterious force was calling him in the temple.

Zhou Fan frowned slightly, a little surprised, he hesitated for a moment and slowly walked towards the depths of the temple.

"Don't go!"

"I've heard my father say that there are terrifying beings enshrined in the depths of the temple, and all those who go into the depths of the temple will not survive."

Just when Zhou Fan was about to step into the depths of the temple, Liu Yuling's voice suddenly sounded.

"I think it's for you!"

At this moment, a golden light appeared behind Zhou Fan in the blink of an eye, and as soon as the words fell, he was shot into the depths of the temple by a golden light.

"Zhou Fan!"

Liu Yuling exclaimed in surprise and wanted to chase into the depths of the temple, but was blocked by Wang Jiyi, who suddenly appeared.

"The temple has a limited amount of time! Don't regret it! ”

Wang Jiyi's playful voice sounded, which made Liu Yuling angry.

But in the end, she still didn't make a move, dodged around Wang Jiyi's block, and rushed into the depths of the temple without hesitation.

At this moment, Zhou Fan, who flew into the corridor deep in the temple, was shrouded in darkness at this moment.

As he went deeper into the hallway, the darkness around him grew thicker.

That special sense of summoning became stronger and stronger as he got closer.

Zhou Fan walked forward with a vigilant face, and finally came to the end of the corridor after walking for a while.

There are no idols here, just a black mist that devours light.

The black mist seemed to sense Zhou Fan, and wisps of flames emerged from the slow wriggling.

The flames were just a trace, and the temperature around them rose rapidly, instantly making Zhou Fan sweat as if he was in a sea of fire.

The terrifying heat wave enveloped Zhou Fan, and it was only at this moment that he saw that there was a pair of eyes as deep as an abyss inside the black mist.

"Whew!"

Two clouds of black light enveloped the black flame, and in the blink of an eye, they shot into Zhou Fan's body.

"Ah......h

The black flame shot into Zhou Fan's eyes, and instantly erupted with terrifying power that stretched his body.

His eyes were burned to char for the first time, and his body was also the first to burst into flames.

The flames were blazing, like Zhou Fan in a sea of fire, screaming one after another.

Not only his physical body, but his divine soul was also burning at the moment, almost scaring Zhou Fan to death.

His body was burned, and he probably wouldn't die in this dream world.

But if the soul is burned, he will definitely die.

Screaming, he desperately tried to extinguish the flames on his body, but the flames were like maggots attached to the bones, and it was impossible to extinguish them.

"Zhou Fan!"

"Zhou Fan!"

At this time, Liu Yuling rushed over, and before she had time to think about it, she pounced on Zhou Fan, wanting to help him extinguish the flames on his body.

It's just that the flames spread in the blink of an eye, and Liu Yuling, who pounced on her, also burned screams again and again.

Seeing that the two of them were almost incinerated into ashes by the flames, a mysterious power suddenly erupted in Lucy Liu's body.

The mysterious power wanted to extinguish the flames, but they didn't expect the flames to have the power to devour it.

In just the blink of an eye, the mysterious power on Lucy Liu's body was swallowed up.

At this critical moment, Zhou Fan's soul suddenly lit up with purple and gold light.

The priest wearing a purple-gold mask outside the temple had a great change in face at this moment, and he found that the blood-connected mask actually had a feeling of wanting to break out of his control.

Suddenly his color changed, he flew into the temple, and soon sensed the suction and blood sensation coming from the depths of the temple.

Before he had time to think about it, he immediately flew into the depths of the temple, only to be enveloped in a cloud of black mist and imprisoned in place.

"My lord! Please forgive my people! ”

The priest wearing a purple-gold mask pleaded anxiously at the moment.

"He comes from the future, from the blood of your Zhou clan."

"Whether he can survive the catastrophe of the last days can only depend on whether he can withstand the candle flame ......"

The majestic voice reached the ears of the sacrificial man, and his heart was shocked.

"Go ahead! Let's wait outside! ”

"That little girl has already made a choice! He shouldn't be able to die! ”

The majestic voice came into the ears of the Zhou ancestor again, and he came back to his senses at this moment.

"Bang!"

Soon, a powerful wave of qi swept him away in an instant.

The other eight priests who flew into the temple also seemed to have discovered the abnormal behavior of the Zhou ancestor, and they were about to fly into the corridor deep in the temple together when a strong wind hit them, and then they saw the Zhou ancestor flying out upside down with blood spurting from his mouth.

The eight people were startled, and they all took action to pick up the ancestors of the Zhou family, and then the eight people were also shocked by the air wave and flew out of the hall.

"What are you doing?"

"Who told you to break into the depths of the hall?"

"Grandma's! Don't you know that the projection of the Lord sleeps in the depths of the main hall? Anger it, everyone has to finish playing! ”

The eight sacrifices were furious at the moment, and there was a stinking scolding around the ancestors of the Zhou family.

It's just that Zhou Fan's mind is messed up at the moment, and he didn't pay attention to the eight companions for a while.
