When Xu Yue followed Brandt to the top of the altar, the Arix scholar was already waiting here. I saw that the messy stone strips that had been dismantled at the top had been cleared, and the stone platform used for blood sacrifice had been placed in a corner of the top.

The three holes that looked like they were used to collect blood were now spitting black gas out of the room. Far away, Xu Yue could feel the rich evil and falling aura contained in the black qi. As the black gas overflowed, a strong smell of blood filled the mouths and noses of several people, making people feel like they wanted to vomit.

What was even more surprising was that from the three holes, a low roar was coming from the sound. There seemed to be a voice full of tyranny and hatred, like a mad beast.

A cold light flashed in Xu Yue's eyes after hearing this voice, and he cautiously approached the three holes that were emitting black gas, and then carefully felt the power in the black gas.

"It's so full of negative energy!" Xu Yue said with his eyes closed and a little surprised.

"Uh-huh, no! That's ...... Vitality!?"

His eyes were wide open, and he looked at the three holes with some surprise. Alex next to him also nodded with a heavy face: "Yes, I was also very surprised after feeling this situation before." Such a rich negative energy contains a huge life force, and I have never seen such a contradictory combination. ”

Xu Yue looked at the three holes and turned his head and said, "How did the black qi and the sound inside appear, wasn't it still normal when I watched it before?"

Brandt said a little helplessly: "It just appeared, first there was a faint black gas wafting out of those holes and the soldiers who came up to clean it appeared, and then soon after the holes came out of the roar. That's what happened when I got the news. ”

"I didn't expect a living creature to appear in the altar of the Troll Blood Sacrifice, but I don't know what is trapped inside? Alex said with a frown.

"The situation at this altar is so weird. I don't know what monsters are trapped inside. Shall we wait for the Alex scholar to work on the contents after you worked last night, or will we dispose of the contents first and then continue?" asked Brandt, somewhat uncertain.

Alex thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if the things inside are very dangerous, and if they are released rashly, I am afraid that they will pose a certain threat to us." I guess I'd better plug the three holes first, and then deal with the creatures inside after I understand what the altar actually does and have a preliminary inference about what's inside. And Captain Brandt, you'd better get the news back to Black Rock as well. Let the other soldiers guarding the altar not release the creatures inside. ”

Brandt thought about it for a moment and felt that this was the best way to do it, so he nodded and turned to tell the scouts in the team to send the news back to Black Rock City. At the same time, he commanded several soldiers to lift the heavy stone platform and press it against the three holes again.

The stone platform used for the blood sacrifice seemed to have a suppressive effect on the creatures inside the altar, and after the stone platform was put back in its place, the roaring underneath suddenly stopped. Xu Yue approached the stone platform and listened. After making sure that the roar could not be heard because the stone platform blocked the sound, he turned to Alex and said, "It seems that this stone platform and this altar are one and the same, and they also have a certain role in themselves. ”

Alex nodded and said, "I'll find out when I look into it." I haven't read all of the words on these stone platforms, but the general meaning is to refine and gather, and these trolls seem to be trying to refine something. However, some of the sacrifices and spells of the ancient troll empire are very weird, and the specific role is not clear for a while. ”

Xu Yue nodded and put the matter here down first. This is obviously not something that will be figured out in a moment. He looked at the Arix scholar and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I also have something to find you as the Aris scholar." I'm afraid I'll be here for a while, and I don't think you're used to living in a tent alone, so I'd like to invite you to my mobile home. ”

Alex looked at Kenneth's Cabin in the open space under the altar and said with a smile, "It's an honor to have your invitation, so I'm afraid I'll have to disturb you for the next few days." ”

Because Alex still had to continue working, Xu Yue returned to the hut alone. At this time, the number one puppet is now called Jarvis. Everything in the house has been put in order. I didn't prepare anything in advance, so the room was a little empty, but it was comfortable enough to live in.

Xu Yue walked to the desk in his room and sat down, took out a magic crystal lamp from the storage ring, and added a magic crystal to the spar furnace under the lamp holder. Suddenly, a flame spirit appeared on the disc of the flame of the lamp, and the rich fire element made it dance happily on the disk. And the surrounding light became brighter.

He took out a magic book and his own magic notes and put them on the table, ready to start his study for the day. As a magician, the daily learning of magical knowledge is a necessary process, and the huge amount of knowledge in every magician's mind is accumulated over time. And Xu Yue himself advanced too fast. There is a flaw in the accumulation of knowledge, so now he will take out a magic book to study whenever he has time.

Before studying, Xu Yue suddenly remembered something, and after calling Jarvis over, he ordered: "There will be a scholar named Alex here in a while, he is my guest." If he was still studying when he came. Then you bring the guest in first, and I'll give you the authority to open the door. Remember to send me a message and I'll visit later. ”

"Yes master, I will do as you tell me. After Xu Yue used his mental power to operate the core of the hut and authorized it to Jarvis, Jarvis said respectfully.

It was already late at night when Alex returned, and if it were put on Earth, it would be about one o'clock in the evening. Obviously, the strange phenomena revealed by the altar also made the scholar feel a little worried, so he hastened the record. However, looking at his tired face, it was clear that such a long work was not easy for him.

Alex was brought back to the room by Jarvis, and after receiving Jarvis's report, Xu Yue also rubbed his eyebrows. Somewhat tired, he got up from the table.

Because it was late, after knocking on Alex's door, he just had a brief chat with Alex, and the two went back to their rooms to rest.

Over the next few days, Alex focused all his energy on cracking down on the text and magic patterns. He almost stayed in Xu Yue's hut without leaving the house. Eating and drinking was delivered entirely to his house by Jarvis.

Xu Yue didn't go anywhere else these days, he would go to the top of the altar twice a day in the morning and evening to check, as long as the stone platform on the altar was not unusual, then he would go back to the hut to study his magic. Because these days don't need to be as busy as during the previous war, he will find a fixed time every day to return to the earth and show his face. In the eyes of the neighbors around the villa, this very homely young man had just returned from an out-of-town trip. But when I came back, I stayed at home as usual, and only came out at a fixed time every day to let out the wind.

Kenneth's Cabin is the ultimate equipment for a magician's home trip plus going out to do practical things, and with this item, the magician can go anywhere as if he were in his own home. However, Xu Yue thinks that this thing is more suitable for the otaku of the earth, if the otaku of the earth has such a mobile home that is regarded as an artifact, then even if he goes out, he can stay in the house at any time. In fact, these days, he and Alex are no different from otaku.

Although Brandt is very envious of Xu Yue and Alex. But his responsibilities dictated that he could not have moved in with them. So in the end, he simply came out of sight and quietly, and every day except for the afternoon to ask Alex about his progress, the rest of the time he took the soldiers to patrol around the camp.

The soldiers in the camp were also full of curiosity about the house that Xu Yue had conjured up, but because there were strict restrictions on probability, no one came forward to disturb them. But when they patrol past here, they always have to look this way.

Time passed in a hurry, and the day was noon. Alex finally stepped out of his way. I saw that his eyes were red at this time, his head was unkempt, and his originally neat scholar's robe had become wrinkled. It's hard to imagine that he is the same person as the scholar with an elegant temperament before.

"Now that the results have been obtained, I think I know what the trolls want. Alex knocked on Xu Yue's door and said hurriedly after walking in.

Xu Yue let him go to the chair next to the table and made him a refreshing drink before saying, "You can speak slowly." I don't think you have slept much these days. ”

After Alex saw his image from the mirror in the room, he also said with some embarrassment: "I've really been a little anxious these days, and I haven't taken care of myself for a long time." ”

"You'll have plenty of time to do this in a moment, but you said you figured out the troll's purpose?" asked Xu Yue as she sat across from her.

At the mention of this question, Alex's spirits lifted, he nodded, took out a notebook and put it on the table and began to explain it to Xu Yue.

"I'm studying the present. The text on the Troll Altar and the magic patterns play two main roles. The first point is to extract their life force from the blood of a large number of living creatures, and then gather this life force to the center of the altar. The second point is similar to this function, but instead of the life force, it is the soul of the living being. Alex said with a solemn face.

"Soul!?" Xu Yue asked with some surprise.

"Not bad. These trolls not only use their blood to extract the life force of human beings in the process of killing humans, but they also do not spare the souls of the other party. I remember you said earlier that during the blood sacrifice you saw, you saw the souls of the people who were killed being dragged out of the body by those troll sacrifices, which is also consistent with my inference. Alex nodded in affirmation.

"What the hell do these trolls want to do, what are they doing with so many life forces and souls?" Xu Yue said with some confusion.

"It's not just a simple gathering, through Guò research, this altar can purify the life force, then grind the captured soul into soul fragments, and then extract the soul power inside. I think you should know that if the vitality is preserved with dead things, even if it is done well, it will gradually dissipate. And the special nature of the soul power determines that it is difficult to store zài on things that are not living things. Alex said in detail.

"So, they placed a living creature in the altar, and the creature's function was actually to act as a preservation vessel! And the rich negative energy in the black gas. I'm afraid it's because the resentment and other feelings of those who have been extracted from their souls before they die have infected their souls, so they will gather so much negative energy!" Xu Yue said with some understanding.

"That's right! No matter what the creature in the altar was, I am afraid that it had already been tormented and mad by the insane resentment in those soul powers. Alex nodded.

"Then the next thing we have to do is to open the altar and see what is going on inside. I'm afraid there will be some arrangements in the altar. Otherwise, it doesn't seem necessary to seal up a creature as a container, and it would be a big problem for the troll itself to take that creature away. Xu Yue said.

After the two communicated for a while, Alex returned to his house to take care of his personal hygiene and changed a set of clothes, and when he reappeared, he became the scholar with an elegant temperament again, and the corners of Xu Yue's mouth couldn't help twitching a few times, and then he put away the 'Kenneth's cabin'. After all, always keeping the blooming form consumes magic crystals.

After finding Brandt to explain the situation, Brandt immediately arranged for men to begin dismantling the altar. Although the scale of this altar is not small, hundreds of warriors have already dismantled the perimeter in just half a day.

At this time, the center of the altar was exposed, which was an iron cage surrounded by bricks and stones, and after the gate of the station opened the masonry on one side of the iron cage. The scene inside made everyone gasp.

I saw that in the center of the cage was a pool with a diameter of three meters, and I couldn't see how deep the pool was, and the thick blood completely filled the entire pool. In the center of the pool stood an iron pillar, on which was a very hideous-looking creature. Judging by the two ivory-like objects protruding from their mouths, it was clear that they were trolls.

However, at this time, most of the troll's body was soaked in blood, and the skin that should have been pale blue had turned blood red. No, Xu Yue only appeared after taking a closer look. It turned out that the skin on this troll's body had actually been stripped off a long time ago, and it was only because of the watering of human blood that it turned red.

The troll was still alive at this point, but there was a look of madness in his red eyes. Resentment, pain, despair, murderous intent, etc., almost all kinds of negative emotions can be seen through these eyes.

After seeing the sun, the troll began to struggle frantically, if it wasn't for an iron chain tying him to the iron pillar, I am afraid that he would have jumped to the edge of the iron cage and attacked the people outside. And this troll's body also seems to have been washed into too much vitality, so its size has expanded a lot. The height of almost 2.5 meters and the arms as thick as the waist of an adult all show the strength contained in this body.

However, although he couldn't break free from the comfort on his body, the troll still roared wildly. The roar of the demons of hell shook the surrounding soldiers all backwards. Even Alex and Xu Yue also frowned, and the power of this roar shook their eardrums.

"Remove all the surrounding masonry and expose the cage completely!" Brandt ordered the soldiers around him with an ugly face. The sight in front of him made him feel disgusted and disgusted.

After receiving the order, some of the surrounding warriors who had reached the level of a professional stood up and began to quickly clear the surrounding masonry with the piercing roar. Soon. The few remaining bricks and stones were cleared, and at this time, people realized that after cleaning the masonry of the altar, there was a more complex formation carved on the ground.

"This is not an existing magic array. Xu Yue said after taking a closer look at the magic array that almost covered the center of the bottom of the altar. Although his knowledge accumulation is far less abundant than that of mages of the same level, it is still not a problem if he only makes a simple judgment.

Alex said after looking around the magic array: "It is a magic array unique to the Aleka Empire of the ancient troll empire, and many of the magic arrays are used in Aleka characters, and some of the patterns and characters of the magic array have the style of the Aleka Empire. ”

"Scholar Alex, can you figure out what this magic circle does?" asked Brandt.

"It's going to take a little bit of time. After speaking, the scholar took out a pen and paper and began to write down the calculations, and then recorded them in the notebook from time to time.

Xu Yue walked to the side of the iron cage. He looked at the trolls tied to iron posts. The troll had apparently lost his mind completely. When he got closer to Xu Yue, it turned out that this troll had more than just chains binding him. From his chest, heart, and the back of his head, two chains probed into his body.

If it is an ordinary troll, even if it is with the recovery power of a troll, this kind of stabbing into the heart and brain by an iron chain is definitely dead and cannot be killed again, but this troll is alive and well because of the huge vitality gathered in his body.

Xu Yue couldn't understand. What kind of goal did those trolls want to achieve so cruelly to use their own people as a container to carry out such a horrific blood sacrifice?

"Could it be that you want to make a biological weapon for battle?" Xu Yue guessed as he looked at the crazy troll. But then he got rid of the idea, and it was clear that the troll had completely lost his mind, and even if the trolls had a way to control him, it was strange to put chains on vital parts. Isn't that the same as sending a knife into the hands of the enemy?

Just as Alex was calculating the function of the magic array, the troll tied to the iron pillar struggled more and more, and the iron pillar tied to him shook under his great force. This is the same as the iron pillar, which was originally fixed by the upper and lower parts, but now that the upper part of the altar has been removed, the iron pillar is no longer as reliable as before.

"Oh no! This guy may have to break free!" Xu Yue said in surprise after seeing this situation.

Brandt was startled when he heard what he said. I hurriedly walked over and took a look. Although the troll in front of him lost his mind because of the blood sacrifice, the huge vitality in his body made the strength of the other party's body rise to an incredible level. Just the huge brute force that could shake that iron pillar, if the other party broke free, I am afraid that no one would be able to stop it. Coupled with the vitality in the other party's body, if you can't kill it all at once, then relying on the recovery of vitality, the other party is simply an immortal monster.

"Stand back. Everyone, take up arms and kill this monster first!" Brandt shouted as he stepped back.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the troll had already pulled the iron pillar behind his body from the ground, and began to hit the iron cage frantically with the iron pillar. Each of his strikes bent the wrist-thick iron pillar of the cage. After more than a dozen impacts, the iron cage has already begun to deform strictly.

"Captain Brandt, you go and organize the soldiers first, and prepare for the next battle. Xu Yue glanced at the iron cage that was about to be broken and said to Brandt.

Brandt nodded, then turned to gather the nearby warriors to form a battle formation. At this moment, Alex jerked his head up from his notebook, and the tense atmosphere just now did not stop him from working.

"I see! These trolls actually want to rely on the magic array to condense the life source power and the soul dance, they are probably like relying on these two things to resurrect some incredible guys! The magic array under his feet is set to as long as the troll in the middle dies, then the vitality and soul power of his whole body will be tempered into the two most essential energies under the action of the magic array. ”

"You mean just find a troll and die. This magic array under our feet will activate?" Xu Yue asked quickly after glancing at Alex.

"That's right! That's how this magic circle is set up. But it seems that there is another function of this circle, which I haven't figured out. Alex nodded.

Xu Yue glanced sharply at the chains on the troll's chest and the back of his head, and he immediately understood. As long as the troll continues to perform blood sacrifices, then the trapped troll will become more and more powerful as the huge vitality gathers into the body. And when his strength hits Cheng Dù, who can break free from the chains on his body, then he will move his body to break through the blockade of the iron cage.

At this time, the troll's iron chain connecting the heart and brain will destroy the troll's heart and brain due to the pulling force. This will kill the troll and activate the magic circle at his feet. The reason for this design is probably that the amount of life force and soul fragments required for the two items that the troll wants to collect is a certain amount of life force and soul fragments, and if you can break free from the bound chains, you should be able to meet this requirement.

Sure enough, the moment the troll threw himself out of the cage, his heart and brain were torn to pieces by the tearing force of the two chains. Then I saw the magic array under their feet quickly light up, and in just a few seconds, the troll's body turned into ashes. A red and cyan ball of light flew out of his ash-reduced body.

The two balls of light instantly flew to the center of the magic array and listened, and at this time, Alex also raised his head with a sudden realization and said: "I understand, the design of this magic array is really exquisite, it can even directly transmit the generated life source power and soul fog out." ”

"Teleportation, do you mean we're standing on a teleportation magic array!" Xu Yue asked, turning his head to look at Alex in astonishment.

"Of course! This magic circle does have a teleportation function. Alex nodded affirmatively, but then his face realized something.

"It's not good, get out of the magic circle!" Alex said, raising his foot and running out.

"It's too late!" Xu Yue said with a wry smile.

Sure enough, I saw that the light of the magic array flashed in an instant, and then Xu Yue and Alex, who were standing on the magic array, disappeared without a trace, and then disappeared with a few warriors who happened to be standing on the magic array.
