On top of the weathered plaque, there was only a blood-colored text with the only four-character rule.

"Don't let the living enter!"

However, this line alone exudes a terrifying meaning.

The ghost ship stopped at the reef on the shore.

The sailors unchained the chains and used them as a bridge to connect to the ground. For those who are agile, they can slide straight down the ropeway.

In the middle of the rocky reef, a boardwalk leads to the island, spanning the dark gate at the end.

From a distance, the door looked like a giant mouth of the abyss, as if it wanted to swallow food.

The crowd came to the entrance of the pier.

You only need to look down to see the plaque next to it, with blood-colored words written on it.

That's the rule of that island.

It's called Skeleton Village, and seeing that title doesn't bode well.

Ajaca manipulated the wind and dragged the bodies of several players to the vicinity of the plaque.

As soon as Chenxi landed and stood firm, her clear eyes fell on the plaque, and the two willow eyebrows immediately wrinkled, and said in a deep voice:

"Do not enter the living...... Doesn't that mean that just by entering that village, the taboo will be triggered? ”

"Yes." Agaka nodded slowly, "According to legend, the island where the dragon god festival is held is an island that does not belong to the living, and only shrine maidens who have been given keys can go there. ”

"Since ancient times, if we Poseidon need to hold a festival, it is all by the shrine maiden, and the Poseidon heir is just like today, responsible for driving the ghost ship and escorting the shrine maiden to the destination."

"There were once a few disobedient heirs of the sea god who secretly went to that village while the witch was going to sacrifice."

"Results ......"

"They were left there forever!"

The last sentence exudes a sense of horror.

Dawn, Matthew and the others looked at each other, they didn't expect that the village where the Dragon God Festival was held would be so scary!

There is only one rule –

"Don't let the living enter!"

However, this rule alone is enough to dissuade most of the comers.

Matthew frowned and said, "Then if we go in...... Won't it stay there forever? ”

This makes people wonder.

Since the rule is "the living do not enter", do they have to fill it with their lives?

Ajaka sighed and said, "In fact, our Seagod Clan has not held a dragon god sacrifice for three hundred years...... The dynamism of the shrine maiden also began three hundred years ago. The rules of this island are only legends, and in fact we don't know that the living are not allowed to enter this place. ”

The crowd fell silent.

But then, with a resolute look, Ajaka said solemnly: "But even if there is this taboo rule, in order to make up for the mistakes made by my clan, I am willing to go to the island in person, even if I never come back......"

"That's right!"

"We're willing to go too!"

"As the Poseidon clan, with the blood of the Poseidon in our veins, we will be responsible for everything we do."

The surrounding Seagod heirs looked at them firmly, as if they had already made up their minds in their hearts.

From the moment they were willing to embark on this dangerous voyage, they had long made a plan that they would never go back.

Flowing with the fighting blood of the Poseidon Clan, it will not flinch from the fear of death.

But at this moment, the white-clothed cardinal beside him frowned and said:

"I'm sorry, the Holy Church has given us a mission to shelter this part of the journey and assist."

"The church is still in a life-and-death crisis, and we need to retain this force and take on the responsibility of protecting the saints."

"Forgive me for not being able to go with you."

Another voice from the Church of the Sun caused a split among the people present.

Clearly, the white cardinal did not intend to go in and die.

In addition to tackling pollution, they prioritize the protection of the Dawn of the Virgin.

Naturally, it is impossible to enter such a dangerous forbidden area with the Holy Maiden.

Dawn also fell silent.

If this rule is indeed that the living are not allowed to enter, then if you enter it, you will have to bear a great risk of death.

As a player, you need to prioritize your own survival.

"Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, if you want to go back, then go back yourself!" A tall, lanky Seagod sneered, "However, without us controlling the ghost ship, I don't know if you can go back!" ”

"You are contemptuous of the church! Defy the authority of the Lord! ”

The purple-robed bishop's face turned cold, and he stepped forward, exuding a sense of oppression from his body.

In the face of this coercion, the heirs of the sea god held spears and swords, and stepped forward with great momentum, swords rattling.

Those heirs of the sea god will not even be afraid of death, and they will fight even more terrifying deep-sea monsters along the way, how can they be afraid of a little bishop?

The two waves of anger come from different forces, fighting each other and not giving in to each other.

"Alright." Chen Ye's voice suddenly broke the deadlock, and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to go in, this operation, it is enough for me to go in." ”

"Young man, are you sure you'll only be alone in the city?" Ajaca spoke with concern and doubt.

"Not bad." Chen Ye nodded and said, "According to the legend of your witch, it can probably be inferred that it is not that the living are not allowed to enter, but that a ticket is required. ”

"Miko, you have the key to open the two worlds, and this is one of the tickets."

"You don't have any tickets, and I may not be able to take you out after you get in, and it may get in the way."

"But I have the key, and it's enough to leave this operation to me, so you can go back."

In fact, Chen Ye observed this island with the eyes of luck.

Suspended in the aura of luck around him, the golden star became brighter and closer.

At this moment, the golden stars differentiated into a long bridge made of golden horses, as if connected to this plank road, leading to the pitch-black gate of the Skeleton Village.

Directly above the island, there was an endless black vortex, and the black mist that erupted covered the bodies of the people around them, as if it was about to engulf them.

But only when it fell on him, the golden star burst out with brilliance, dispelling the black fog and leaving a glimmer of life.

I heard the legend of Aggaka about the ryujin festival......

Chen Ye can be sure that this island can only be entered and exited by himself, through the key to the spiritual realm.

Other beings going to this place may not be of help to themselves, judging by the aura of luck, it may also trigger unnecessary trouble.

Chenxi frowned, and said worriedly: "Then we are all leaving, how should you come out then?" ”

Without the ghost ship, such a large sea of dead remains, with the strength of Chen Ye alone, can he really come out?

Even if the other party has the key to the spiritual realm......

But to complete such a long journey, I'm afraid it's not an easy task, right?

Chen Ye smiled: "I don't know, but maybe if I can destroy the things inside and get that divine authority, there will be a glimmer of life." ”

Hearing the 'divine authority', Dawn's eyes moved.

For a moment......

She wanted to find a reason to follow Chen Ye in.

However, when this thought just came to his mind, a cold feeling suddenly came from his spine, as if he was about to fall into the river of death!

"This feeling ......" Chenxi was shocked.

After cultivating one's own star spirit body, his perception ability has been enhanced.

The sixth sense is much more powerful than ordinary existence, and it has a natural perception of death and crisis.

Similar to the aborigines, they have a natural instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm, but they are more obvious and proactive.

At this moment, the clergy of the Church of the Burning Sun, including the cardinal in white, were reluctant to set foot in the village of living bones, also because they were afraid of the danger they instinctively perceived.

Go in, and you'll never come out!

Dawn's biggest reliance is actually the protection of the white cardinal beside him.

But even the cardinal was not sure that he would be able to come out alive from inside, and after entering, it was impossible to rely on Chen Ye to bring himself out.

What's more, as the number one on the governance list, she has a certain right to compete for that 'divine authority'.

Chen Ye's identity is the same as that of a player, although they are cooperating with each other now, but that competitive relationship has always existed.

Chenxi entered as a player, obviously wanting to compete for the opportunity, so how could Chen Ye do what she wanted?

You must know that the key to travel back and forth between the two worlds is in the hands of Chen Ye.

If you follow the other party in, the initiative is completely in the hands of other players, which is a taboo for players to let their lives be controlled by other players.

No matter how familiar the other party is, even if it is the closest and most trusted person, it is impossible to do this.

That's the principle of being a player.

In fact......

When Chen Ye said the words 'divine authority', it was already a kind reminder to persuade Chenxi to retreat.

If you want to keep up, you must have the intention of dying.

There were many possibilities that came to Chenxi's mind, but in the end, they were all rejected one by one, and in the end she just sighed and said:

"Okay......"

The eyes of the other Seagod's descendants fell on Ajaca's body in unison, as if they were asking with their eyes.

Ajaca glanced at Chen Ye and sighed:

"You're right, let's go."

The mighty heir of the sea god returned to the ghost ship from the iron rope above.

At the helm, Adev put his hands back on the steering wheel and his gaze fell on his father in bewilderment:

"Father, are we really not going in, what if that young man can't solve the festival? Aren't we running for nothing? ”

Ajaca shook his head and said, "No...... You're wrong. ”

"Since ancient times, the dragon god festival has been something that only shrine maidens can handle, and we are only auxiliary at most."

"That young man has the key in his body, and if he can't do it, then we can't do it."

"If we go in with the belief that we will die, in fact, the most we can do is to assist the other party, but this is only the most ideal state, in fact, not only may we not be able to help, but we may also cause trouble."

"Moreover, our Poseidon Clan suffered such a heavy blow last time, and we also lost a patriarch, we can't die more children, we have to think about the entire Poseidon Clan."

"My child, sometimes you can't just face the world with fire, but also with wisdom, strategy, and enough calmness......"

…………

Near the trestle.

Everyone had already left, and only the figure of the white cardinal was still standing behind Chen Ye.

"Aren't you on the boat yet?" Chen Ye smiled, "I've stopped playing, and after a maximum of two or three minutes, the ghost ship will automatically fall back to the present world and exit the Sea of Death." ”

The white cardinal took out a wooden box and said slowly:

"Before the Holy Sect left, he explained one thing."

"If you can get to the door of that village, and you choose to go alone, I'll give you this item."

"Now is the time to fulfill the words of the Holy Church."

Chen Ye took the wooden box and opened it to take a look.

I saw a silver dagger, faintly shining, and the blade had a unique structure, which was similar to the shape of lightning.

"Divine mercury?"

Chen Ye's eyes fell on this dagger, and he couldn't help but be surprised:

"This is one of the most precious relics of the Sun Church, so you can give it to me."

Legend has it that the dagger of sacred mercury can unlock all curses in the world, even the monstrous ghost array composed of sacrifices to hundreds of millions of living beings can be destroyed with a single sword.

"The most precious indeed." "But it's just a fake, and although it's also precious, it's not that precious, and it can only be used once." ”

"I see." Chen Ye smiled bitterly.

Also, how could the Burning Sun Church, which has always been slamming the door, give away the real [Holy Mercury] at will?

But I have to say that because of this slamming character, they have strong research and development capabilities, and they can create a lot of fakes.

In this way, you will not be so picky, and you can be a little more generous...... When it comes to giving away fakes!

The white cardinal departed, and boarded the ghost ship with the mighty army, turning into a mirage-like phantom, gradually dissolving, and returning to the present world.

Only Chen Ye was left, standing alone on the trestle bridge, looking up, he could see the gate of the living corpse village that "no one should enter", and when he turned around, there was a vast sea of dead remains, with no exit, no end, and no way out......

The corners of Chen Ye's mouth were slightly hooked, and he muttered:

"The real strategy has begun!"
