Chapter 44: The Grail and the Sacrifice

"I had a bad feeling, like something had been eaten in my mouth." The uncle, who volunteered to donate blood, said nervously after entering the gate.

"Your dragon blood concentration is very high, the dragon blood contains early warning factors, the secret party has tried to directly carry out long-range armed strikes against some dragons hatched in no man's land, but unfortunately dragons can often avoid these precision-guided missiles in time, I think what you said may be right." Chen Mo said lightly.

"If there's anything that eats us in our mouths, isn't it this weird-looking Miyagi? Could it be that this can still be alive? Ye Sheng originally intended to make a little joke to dispel the somewhat stiff atmosphere, but no one thought it was a joke.

Chen Mo gently patted this junior on the shoulder, and said softly: "You are only a freshman, and the course of dragon genealogy and alchemy popularization in your sophomore year will involve alchemy products and dragon buildings, and sometimes the buildings and items related to dragon clans may indeed have living characteristics. ”

"Be careful, don't really get digested."

Ye Sheng nodded heavily, he knew what kind of meaning was hidden behind the word "digestion".

The team that walked into the gate did not enter the main palace, but the open-air corridor, the corridor is wide and abnormal, both sides are separated by extremely high walls, and the spires on the other side of the wall can be vaguely seen, the ground of the corridor seems to be made of stone slabs, but the stones will be brittle at low temperatures, but these stones have no signs of breaking, Chen Mo touched the stone slab through leather gloves, not only did it not freeze, but compared with the ambient temperature of this hollow shrouded in ice, it is worthy of the word "warm".

The unobstructed corridor is not short, there is a circular altar in the center, and on the altar is a red altar, on which is placed a strange white cup, which seems to be able to stick people's eyes, and from a distance, there seem to be several people lying under the altar.

Living? Dead person?

Everyone was unusually calm in this situation, and there was no anxious rush forward, whether those lying down were alive or not, apparently unconscious. They were lying here, either they had passed out and had been brought by something, or there was something around them that had made them unconscious, and in that case, they shouldn't have stepped forward without a plan.

"Do you feel that the range of the 'snake' is limited?"

"There is still that sense of attraction beyond the limit distance ahead, and there is no impact on the surroundings, but after entering the gate, the swimming of the 'snake' is a little blocked."

Chen Mo quietly made a gesture, and the junior immediately understood, and a spirit servant stayed at Chen Mo's mouth, and the suppressed voice was swallowed by it and transmitted back to Ye Sheng's brain, and then a 'snake' also swam with it, only entering the device that Chen Mo carried:

"Is there any connection with the outside world?"

"Not yet, this gate doesn't seem to be able to stop the 'snake' from entering and exiting."

"Has he received the message?"

"Roger."

"Very well, be silent."

This private channel, created by the power of words, fell into peace again.

Chen Mo pointed ahead again, Ye Sheng nodded clearly, he sat down slowly, a group of snakes poured out, these faithful servants pounced on the altar in front, and when they were about to approach those who fell to the ground, the white chalice on the altar suddenly trembled, and the snakes, which are considered to be "biocurrents" in science, suddenly received some kind of gravity, and in their struggle, two of them entered the white chalice as helplessly as if they were stuck in quicksand.

Ye Sheng seemed to hear the sound of being crushed.

The pain that went straight to the depths of his soul almost tore his mind apart, and each snake carried his will.

In his cognition, the parade 'snake' was in another dimension, and in the past twenty years, his 'snakes' had hardly encountered any disturbance, the vice-principal's "precepts" counted once, and the 'snake''s uneasiness in the face of the principal was also counted once, but only today he met twice, first fear and hunger, and then these otherworldly 'snakes' were actually sucked into by the holy grail on that altar!

He felt like he was being crushed, he was at his most vulnerable when he released the Spirit of Words, his body temperature dropped, his heartbeat decreased, the flow of blood slowed down, and only the golden pupils flickered slightly to prove that he was not a dead man.

And just when the dying will returned to the body, his body immediately made corresponding measures, the rapid beating of the heart accelerated the flow of blood, constantly trying to raise his body temperature, the body was trying to awaken his spirit, this is the Arctic Circle, two hundred meters below the Greenland ice sheet, in this case, once he faints, he will be half a dead person, even if the rest of the people plan to take him, no one can guarantee that he can take care of a comatose patient in the face of danger next!

In the drowsiness, Ye Sheng seemed to feel a little tingling, but he seemed to have lost his basic sense before the huge pain, after the sting, it seemed that something cool was injected into the body, like going to the nurse's station to get vaccinated when he was a child, and soon, the coolness was transformed into a hot one, and his heart continued to beat violently at the same time, the body function of his whole body was slightly improved, and he was directly pulled back from the edge of the coma.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and the senior named "Chen Mo" looked at him with a regretful expression, and pulled out the needle from his arm, most of the surrounding team members had concerned looks on their faces, and a few of them were expressionless or thinking about something.

"Awake? When you wake up, get up quickly, don't hum and chirp. Chen Mo had obvious regret on his face.

Ye Sheng shook his head, it was sober, and roughly guessed what precious alchemy potion was contained in the needle, which was a life-saving thing, obviously not a bargain generally issued by the executive department, but he didn't say anything, he was a more traditional and old-school Chinese, and he didn't want to talk about such a thing as saving his life, but he obviously remembered it in his heart.

Chen Mo smiled at him like that, didn't say anything, and pulled him up: "Tell me, what happened just now?" ”

Ye Sheng's face showed obvious fear, and he completely explained the sudden suction of the pale Holy Grail and the feeling he felt when he controlled the snake.

"My guess is a sacrifice." After listening to his story, it was Chen Mo who took the lead in giving the answer.

Both Noel Watt and August nodded in agreement, with the former saying, "That altar and chalice are clearly similar to the altar of the Catholic Church, but what exactly is the sacrifice?" ”

Chen Mo turned his head to look at Ye Sheng: "Does your 'snake group' have a constant number?" ”

Patting his head to try to get rid of the residual pain, Ye Sheng nodded: "My 'snake' has a certain upper limit, generally speaking, I can only control some of them, and the other part can let them swim outside in a free-range manner, but now I can control the number of snakes is much less than just now, I am afraid that the number of snakes is much less than just now, this requires very concentrated concentration, and my original two snakes should have been sucked in by that holy grail." ”

Ye Sheng closed his eyes and tried to communicate with the group of snakes in his mind again, and the snakes he was wandering around in the accident just now had all returned to him in a stressful manner.

After a moment, he opened his eyes in surprise, but before the words could be spoken, the senior who bowed his head and pondered had already asked the question.

"The total number of 'snakes' has not decreased?"

Ye Sheng nodded.
