Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Disgusting Dried Corpse

Fortunately, on the way to the ruins, there was no more danger, and a group of people walked crookedly for a long time, and the sky in front of them suddenly brightened again, and a tall city appeared in front of everyone.

The guide stopped and said, "Alright, now that you have passed the Phantom Veil, this is your destination. ”

Then he thought about it, and finally came to Leo's side, took out a coin from the spatial ring, and handed it over: "You must put this away, and when you decide to leave the ruins, inject magic into it in advance, and I will come to pick you up within half an hour." ”

"I see, thank you. Leo nodded, carefully putting away the coins that were emitting magical fluctuations.

The guide gave Leo a meaningful look, but said nothing, but turned away with his companion, disappearing into the phantom curtain in the blink of an eye.

The other party's attitude made Leo a little baffled, but now he didn't have a chance to ask, so he had to beckon the others: "Let's go in now, maybe there will be a team coming in at some time, in case of encounter, there will inevitably be trouble." ”

"Leo is right, but no one stipulates that no war is allowed inside, although we are not afraid of them, it is better to avoid a single loss. Parkinson nodded in agreement, and then took the initiative to step forward, "The situation here is unknown, Lulu and I will go ahead, and you guys will distance ourselves a little from us, don't act rashly." ”

"Okay, let's go into the city at once, and find a safe place to settle down first. "Leo knew that he was a thief and had some special abilities in some way, so he didn't say anything polite.

Once again, the team set off, but this time with Leo and Wikki in front, Sanders in the center, and Nerry and John behind. Due to the short distance, a few people reached the city wall in just ten minutes.

Looking at the crumbling walls, Viki said, "This ruin is at least a thousand years old. ”

"How do you know?" asked Leo curiously.

Vicky pointed up and explained, "Look at the watchtower. According to my blood memory, it was a thousand years ago, and the city today doesn't build that kind of watchtower. ”

Sanders, who was in the back, had recovered from the previous panic, looked at it with a probing brain, and asked, "A thousand years ago, who founded a city here, but then turned it into a ruin?"

Vicky shook his head: "I don't know about this, but once I enter it, I should be able to find something." ”

At this time, Parkinson, who had arrived at the city gate in front, suddenly made a gesture. Motioned for the people behind to follow.

A few people didn't know why, so they hurriedly stepped forward, but saw Parkinson's staring at the ground.

Sanders looked at the ground, but didn't see anything wrong, so he asked, "What's wrong, why stop?"

Parkinson said without looking up, "There's a trap here." ”

"Trap? Why didn't I find it?" Sanders scratched his head, very ungraspable.

"Because the people who set it up are very clever. Parkinson's replied solemnly, and then crouched down. Move cautiously forward.

Lulu, the "girl" who had not spoken, suddenly grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Don't go, I'm afraid this trap can't be lifted." ”

Parkinson hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped: "It really can't be lifted." It's amazing......

At first, Leo didn't notice any clues, but seeing Parkinson's appearance, he activated the "Magical Journey" glasses. Only then did it become clear that on the ground about three meters from Parkinson's, there was a thread much thinner than a human hair. Intercepted the entire city gate hole, not to mention that ordinary people can't find it at all, even if it's a person with good strength, it's hard to notice.

After a short silence, the female warrior Nerry also found the silk thread, frowned and asked, "Then let's be careful and can't cross it, okay?"

Parkinson smiled bitterly: "Impossible, this is a special detection spider silk, as long as there is a creature within three meters, it will automatically disconnect." ”

Leo thought for a moment and asked, "Can you see what happens if the trap is triggered?"

Parkinson immediately replied, "It's just a single trap, and even if it is triggered, it won't have any consequences, but it will let the person who set the trap know that we're here." ”

"It's really cautious, three meters...... As long as we figure out the guò gate, it will be triggered anyway, so we won't be able to get in?" said Vicky helplessly.

Lulu interjected indifferently: "Why don't you just go over directly, don't care about any traps or not, anyway, the people who go in first will know that we are here sooner or later." ”

Hearing her say this, several people nodded in agreement, but Leo didn't say anything.

Parkinson immediately noticed and asked, "Kakarot, do you have any ideas?"

"I think that since they want to know if we're coming, and they've set up a trap, we can't let them do it. Leo analyzed, "You think, since they entered first, they must have been familiar with the situation inside, and once they know that we have entered, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not prepare an ambush somewhere, so we will be too passive." ”

When they said this, everyone was embarrassed, because they knew that Leo's analysis was very reasonable, but they couldn't think of any way to get here, so they had to look at Leo one after another, waiting for him to come up with an idea.

Leo spread his hands and said, "I don't have much to do but climb over the wall and get in." ”

"Uh...... All right. Parkinson stood up helplessly.

............

Half an hour later, all seven men had climbed the five-meter-high crumbling wall.

Leo carefully hid behind the battlements and looked out into the city.

It's not much different from the average city, it's full of buildings underneath, but many of the houses have collapsed due to the passage of time, and in the center of the city, there is a towering three-headed minaret, which should be the core area here.

Vicky looked at the minaret, suddenly looked surprised, and whispered, "Hand of Sulla......"

Leo next to him didn't hear it, so he asked, "What did you say?"

"Hand of Sulla!, the spire is the landmark of the Hand of Nasreh!" Vicky repeated in a loud voice, and seeing that Leo didn't quite understand, he continued to explain, "Sulla, like Madashos, is a powerful demon lord who lives on the seventy-second floor of the bottomless abyss. And some of the intelligent beings who believed in her formed the Hand of Sula under her influence. Look at the scale of the city, there is definitely the most important blood altar in Sula!"

Listen to Vicky talk about the demon lord whose heart was obtained by Dalaran. Leo subconsciously contacted: "This demon lord has also fallen?"

Unexpectedly, Vicky denied: "No, she is alive and well." ”

"She?" Leo keenly noticed the Wiki's wording.

Vicky's expression was a little unnatural, and he replied, "Yes, this demon lord is a succubus. ”

"Succubus?" Leo couldn't help but think of the succubus he had met before, and his heart was full of doubts for a while. Could it be that the succubus has something to do with this ruin?

Along the way, Parkinson already knew that this handsome young mage was simply an encyclopedia of personal figures, so he was not much surprised. Instead, he asked directly: "Then why did her blood sacrifice field become like this?"

"I don't know, but we really need to be careful. Among all the demon lords, Sulla's strength can be ranked in the top five, and she is the most proficient in charm, and she has a very close relationship with the most powerful demon in the abyss, Demogogen. It seems that our action this time should be to find her blood altar, where something important must be left. Wiki said solemnly. "However, most of the blood altars are arranged in quite secret places, and I am afraid it is not so easy to find. Moreover, this ruin has been going on for so long, and the phantom curtain on the periphery is still valid, which shows that its former strength is quite strong. One qiē may not be so easy. ”

At the same time, the others were also thoughtful, pondering their next move, but Nerry blinked. Weakly asked, "That...... What is the Blood Altar?"

"You don't even know this?" asked Viki in disbelief, seeing the other party's innocent expression, he had to patiently reply, "The demon lord needs to gain power. However, unlike the true gods, they do not have direct access to the power of faith, but can only absorb the souls of the living as a source of power, and the Blood Altar is the place where their followers use to sacrifice the living to the Demon Lord. ”

"Ahh

Vicky didn't say anything, but gave Leo a dissatisfied.

Of course, Leo understands that Vicky is complaining about where he got such a woman, in fact, he himself is also a little depressed, when he robbed himself, the female warrior is not the same as she is now. But they're all here, even if they want to send her back, they can only pray that she won't drag everyone back too much.

"Let's go down first, we have to find a safe place to use as a base, and then slowly look for the Blood Altar. ”

Under Parkinson's leadership, the team did not choose the main road, but deliberately chose the path at the edge of the city wall to prevent them from encountering other teams without realizing it.

Soon, in front of a building in the corner, which was still in good condition, Parkinson stopped to examine it carefully, and said, "That's it, no one has been around, and the line of sight is quite open." ”

Leo observed the house and made sure that it should not collapse in a short time, and couldn't help but sigh, the house built in this world is really strong, and it is still standing after a thousand years.

Parkinson opened the locked door a few times, and there was not much dust in the room, but what was creepy was that several completely dried corpses still maintained their previous posture, as if they had died in an instant.

It was an adult woman, seated in the center of the hall, with a little girl next to her, and several men below, in a kneeling position.

Vicky sneered: "Look, this is a completely feminist society, just like the dark elves. ”

Sanders stuck out his tongue and said, "It's disgusting, can we get these guys out? ”

"Of course we have to get it out, come on, let's hurry up. Parkinson said, thinking about the corpse and walking. (To be continued......)
