The dimly lit hall is filled with all sorts of decorations that seem to be resplendent in gold.

The entire hall is decorated in gold and blood red.

Countless figures in blood-colored robes came and went in the main hall.

Perfect skulls are inlaid throughout the temple and adorned with golden liquid.

And if you look closely at the blood red in this hall, it is actually all replaced by blood.

The bright red blood seems to flow through the grooves of the veins.

The sweet and greasy taste department of the whole area, not at all filthy and foul-smelling.

The top of the temple requires a 777-section staircase to reach the top.

There is a stacked chamber here.

Dressed in tattered robes, Kaluto knelt on the floor.

He was surrounded by various decorations made of piles of bones that formed part of the ritual.

"Great host, I failed, it took so long and in the end I failed.

I have betrayed the trust you have placed in me, I ......"

Karuto's voice was full of sadness.

"No, Karuto."

A dull voice rang out.

Hearing this, Caruto quickly closed his mouth, and his whole kneeling posture became more respectful.

"This time it was just an accident, and you can't be blamed for that. The churches of the four gods are here, and your failure is doomed. ”

The voice is so reasonable.

"But I've wasted so much of your time......"

"No, just for a short time."

Faced with the failure of the plan for 10 years, the owner of the voice did not feel uncomfortable at all, but was still in the mood to comfort Karuto, who was in charge of the plan.

"Your kindness makes me ......"

"Okay, let's talk about the superfluous gossip here, I don't have much time to talk."

Hearing this, Karuto nodded repeatedly and closed his mouth.

"Go with those guys, they'll know what you're facing, and hopefully you'll succeed this time. Karutto. ”

After saying this, the voice dissipated in the secret room.

Caruto made a strange gesture: "Congratulations to the master." ”

He remained in his position until a few minutes later he slowly rose from the ground.

Out of the secret room.

At this time, the place where he was in the Giant Tree Habitat.

……

Arka looked at the map of the giant tree habitat and looked at the red marker dots that had been stuck somewhere.

The red marker, which had stayed here since he stepped out of the flower, was almost certain to be the fixed location of the cult that Karuto was in.

Arka then put the map away.

He's almost in the habit of looking at the map every once in a while.

It's a pity, even if you know the location of the cult, it's not much use now.

Because of the information obtained from Jilena, some strongholds of most of the cult in the Giant Tree Habitat have long been identified.

It doesn't make much sense because it's cultist territory.

"According to records, the most striking feature of the devouring maw is the portal that resembles the mouth of flesh.

This is the demon's most iconic ability, and is usually only available to the most important believers. ”

Simon flipped through the tome in his hand and looked at the introduction to the Devouring Mouth.

"The earliest records of this demon are from before the Divine War, and the later records are from the demon tide thousands of years ago.

That's when the demon came alive again.

The Salalan Empire, which was almost wiped out under his conspiracy. ”

Saying that, Simon added, "This Salalan Empire is the place where the demon tide broke out at that time. ”

Through Simon's explanation, the crowd had a simple understanding of the existence that the opponent they were facing believed in was espoused.

"Isn't it possible that we're going to face this demon when we kill Karuto?" Narvi asked.

If that's the case, then when will it be possible to take out this damn monster?

Arka shook his head: "Unlikely, he should not be able to borrow the power of this demon much."

It should only be possible to use the Devouring Mouth function to teleport and escape from long distances. ”

Whether it was his time or the time of Arati yesterday, he escaped by this trick.

It can be seen from the strength shown that this guy's strength is still in the middle of the fourth stage, and he is not too exaggerated.

After all, after their understanding, the current land of all spirits, being able to withstand the entry of middle-level demons is already the limit.

This is still the reason why the flower fairy has reduced its control because of the recovery.

After a brief exchange of information about Kaluto, Arka patted the table lightly, drawing everyone's attention and said.

"Now that the threat posed by the undead on the border of life and death is gone, the area is already starting to push back. Reclaiming those fallen areas, it's time to start thinking about what we were aiming for this time. ”

When all the people heard this, they knew what he was talking about.

Treasure of the House of Nafas.

"Won't we wait for the flower fairies to recover or for them to reclaim this area?" Natsuyo asked.

Arka shook his head: "At the current pace, it will be difficult for them to get to the place we are going. They will have to wait until the Flower Fairy is fully recovered, and they will completely recover this fallen area.

But the place we're going to is safe, there's no more so-called garrison points, and all the undead forces in that area have been depleted in the last battle. ”

What hinders the people of the Flower from recovering the lost territory is not as simple as the undead, but the negative energy brought about by the accumulation of a large number of undead. Even the chaos caused by the interweaving of death energy and life force.

It can be simply understood as a humble version of the weakened environment at the junction of life and death.

It always takes time and effort to fix.

"It's still too long before the flower fairy recovers. Without the supply of energy, demons would no longer be pouring out.

Now is the rare opportunity. ”

Hearing Arka's words, everyone nodded.

Since they have said so, it is natural to take it, as Arka said, and now the matter is almost temporarily over.

Even if the cultists want to make a comeback, they will have to take time to prepare.

Now that the decision has been made, Xia Dai asked, "Then when are you going to leave?" ”

"Now." Arka said with a smile.

"Let's go slowly, after all, there is still such a long way to go."

Hearing this, everyone nodded and quickly prepared.

Soon he said goodbye to everyone in the fortress and boarded the Flying Swallow to the place where the Nafis family's treasury was located.

Arka looked at the blue dot of light on the map.

There are a lot more white dots on the map than before, and these extra white dots are the time when this area fell.

So Arka rarely goes to these white dots to understand their information.

The White Dots are all about countless fallen villages and settlements.

It is self-evident what these white dots represent.

It is the property left behind by the hands of the former flower people there after their death.

Although it is already ownerless.

But Arka didn't want to collect it.

……

After a few days of sailing.

They skipped the troops ahead.

The entire area could indeed be felt, and compared to the green and fresh environment they had on the island before, it was much dirtier.

It has been polluted by the undead who have occupied this area for a long time.

Julia could clearly feel that the surrounding environment had become a little chaotic, and she already had a sense of life and death.

You can feel it from the original emerald green water to a light dark green.

It is also common to see wandering spirits of the undead.

From the costumes on some of the undead's bodies, as well as the rotten pieces of flesh on their bodies, it can be seen that these undead are all fresh.

All of them have been converted recently.

The clothes on their bodies can also be seen in the style of the people of flowers.

These are the civilians who are in the villages and towns under the onslaught of the undead, and have no time to escape.

"Speaking of which, how is Drifting Ball Village?" Jason sat on the boat and suddenly asked.

After all, this village was the first village they had encountered in Zehai.

Simon raised his head and thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, that village is at the back of the fortress, not far from the junction, and that village should be one of the first areas to fall." ”

Hearing this, Jason just nodded silently.

"Don't be too frustrated, I've found out." Arka said suddenly.

He had really seen the intelligence information of Drifting Ball Village before, after all, it was one of the few places they knew and understood.

"After the large-scale attack, most of the villagers there retreated with the big gardener, and the militia was also integrated into the ranks."

Hearing this, Jason nodded.

While these villagers may not all be doing well, at least not all of them are dead.

It's good news for them.

After all, it was the first place they came here to get to know each other.

"It would be nice to stop by this time." Arka looked at the white dots on the area where the Floating Ball Village was located.

Hearing this, Xia Daiti turned his head and glanced at him.

Didn't say anything more, just nodded.

You must know that the place to go to Floating Ball Village is not a good way.

They skipped the treasure spot and walked for another half a day to get there.

But since the head of the regiment has spoken, it is only a little more than half a day, and everyone doesn't mind.

Soon they saw some spherical chambers floating on the water in the distance.

Compared to the dozens of spheres that once existed, there are now only a few scattered ones, and many have shriveled up and collapsed, leaving only some of them on the surface of the sea.

The village was completely destroyed, and there is basically no chance of rebuilding.

"I kind of like these houses floating on the sea, it's a pity." Lucilia sat on Alka's shoulder and said with a sigh.

When they first saw Floating Ball Village, they were really amazed by the scenery here.

The village floating on the sea, and the round rattan hut made of those plants, is very interesting, and it gives them a real special style.

Riding the Swift, slowly passing through the middle of the village.

In addition to the surrounding wreckage, the crowd saw many traces of the battle.

and some broken bones.

Now there are only a few bones left, and they are still on top of the wreckage.

"Stop." Arka said suddenly.

Xia Dai had expected it and controlled the ship to stop.

With that, Arka left the ship and boarded a half-vandalized ball. Inside, you can see that the shriveled vines have withered most of them, and some furniture is crushed inside.

There were no signs of a fight, no blood, or bones remaining.

There are just destruction and ruins.

From the entrance, Arka bent slightly down and got inside.

disappeared in front of everyone.

"What is he doing there?" Simon asked, a little puzzled.

It's just an ordinary ruin, and there's nothing special about it.

Xia Daiti shook his head: "I don't know, maybe there is something." ”

That being said, she probably thought it was the house of someone they had known in the village before.

Arka walked in, looking through the cracks at the white glow inside.

Not far away, in the cracks, there is a wardrobe woven with vines and wooden strips.

Half of the wardrobe had collapsed, and some of the rattan had broken to fit on top of it.

It also made the whole wardrobe almost broken.

Through the gap, Arka saw a faint white light, the outline of the white treasure.

Wave your hand gently.

Clearing away the squeezing vines around him, Arka made his way to the shattered closet.

Control the surrounding ruins to open the other half of the intact place.

A pile of wine bottles at the bottom of the closet was revealed.

The bottles are stored in a container woven of vines, and are intimately covered with a gray cloth.

White light attaches to it.

It's a white treasure.

【Sake for entertaining friends】

【Difficulty: Child】

[Popularity: 9]

[Treasure Introduction: Quake of Drifting Ball Village, the very valuable flower wine collected - graceful and far-reaching.

Used to entertain friends who meet next time, this is the wine that was once agreed. 】

This white dot is also a point of light that has appeared before, but Arka has set his sights on the treasures of the Nafis family in the past few days.

It is natural to pay attention to the new white spots in the surrounding area, when you find out that it is the floating ball village where you have stayed before.

Naturally, he will care more.

And that's the information he revealed after clicking on it at the time, and that's why he came to the ruins of Floating Ball Village.

Popularity is only nine.

The things of those who once knew him have become treasures of the ownerless.

Arka crouched down and took the rattan-wrapped wine into his arms, and walked out cautiously.

The crowd outside watched as Arka boarded the boat with a case of wine.

"Let's go, go to the treasure spot."

The boat moved slowly, out of the Floating Ball Village, heading back in the direction they had come.

Juan Lu looked at the wine in his hand, and the gray cloth on it had been torn off.

The bottle is turquoise in color and has some kind of translucent cyan glass.

The mouth of the bottle is gagged with some kind of cork.

The bottle is also carved with delicate flower patterns.

"It's so fragrant, I remember drinking it in the land of fragrance." Juan Lu looked at it and said.

Arka smiled and nodded, and put the wine on the boat.

"Let's have a bottle for each person."

There were 10 bottles in the basket, and there were exactly 10 of them.

Arka took a bottle himself, and the rest of the people also carried a bottle in their hands, and when Narvi reached for the last bottle, Arka pressed his hand and said.

"I'll give you half of it, this bottle belongs to a friend."

Hearing this, some people were puzzled, and some people suddenly realized.

Only Narvi was a little confused, but since Arka had said so, he naturally nodded.

A clean wine glass appeared in Alka's hand, and he half-emptied the wine in his bottle and handed it to Narvi.

With the other hand, he opened the bottle.

"Come on, let's toast! For friends! ”

"Cheers!"

Arka picked up the two bottles in his hand and touched them with the others.

I poured the remaining half bottle into my mouth in one go.

The smell of alcohol is not too strong, and the fragrant floral fragrance pours into the mouth.

It's obviously alcohol, but it has an unusually sober smell that makes people feel refreshed.

Sniff gently, as if your nose is forever surrounded by various floral scents.

The delicate scent of flowers seems to waft from afar.

Another full bottle, which Arka tilted diagonally towards the water below them, slowly poured it down.

The light turquoise liquid melts into the dark green water, and it quickly blends into one and does not distinguish each other.

But the scent of flowers had drifted out, and the scent of flowers was wrapped around the ship.

It's a little hard to tell whether it's the aroma of the wine they drink from their mouths or the aroma of the wine poured from the surrounding sea.

The breeze blows, blowing away the aroma of the wine and carrying it away.

"Is this the best wine in the Land of the Spirits?" Arka drank the wine from his bottle.

looked at everyone and asked with a smile.

Then he replied as if he were himself.

"Yes, this is the best wine in the Land of the Spirits."

The contents of the poured bottles had completely flowed into the sea, and the empty bottles were placed on the ship.

"Ah~ good wine, it is indeed the best wine in the land of all spirits."

Jason said, smiling, and pointed the bottle to the sky.

"Sure enough, you didn't lie to me, it is indeed the best wine in the land of all spirits."

As he spoke, he drank the wine in the bottle with his companion.

Burst out laughing.

Narvi tasted the wine in his glass.

looked at Arka and the others who were talking.

It seems that the taste of my own drink is different from theirs, although I don't understand the meaning of this wine.

Sacrifice?

Accompanied by the laughter of everyone, I smelled the fragrance of flowers that kept coming out of the air.

The floral scent is so thick.

It's out of place in a region that has just experienced the ravages of the undead.

But it seems to indicate that new hope has been rekindled here.

The greenery seems to have arrived.

Accompanied by the floral aroma, Narvi drank the wine from his glass.

Just like what I drank before.

Mellow taste, silky feeling, floral fragrance that surrounds the mouth and rushes into the nasal cavity.

It is refreshing.

Accompanied by the voices of everyone, it seems that there is a smell of farewell.

"Well, it's the best wine in the land of spirits."

"Thanks, unknown friend."
