Underground kingdom.

Dean and the others followed Moonface and the Hedgehog Girl down the circular corridor into the ground.

Pay a little attention along the way, the nocturnal species of level 3 and level 4 and below account for seventy percent, which is the largest number of ranges, while level 5 occupies the remaining small part, but none of them have Lu Guangming.

In addition, there is a blockade force that suppresses perception in the underground kingdom, especially concentrated in the few secret rooms at the bottom.

The heavy stone walls of these chambers have no wide portals, leaving only narrow lateral viewing holes.

Dean glanced behind the hole a few times, the inky darkness, the intermittent roar of violence and chaos, the cold and crisp sound of iron chains colliding with each other, and a faint pair of huge beast eyes like cars flashed scarlet light, bringing a faint sense of crisis.

Dean pointed to a lookout hole beside him, "Who lives in this kind of secret room?" ”

Moon Face stroked the mustache on her upper lip, and her tone was filled with deep awe, "Berserker, the patron saint of the tribe..."

There was a flash in Dean's eyes, Mrs. Carmody of the Antique Shop in Pier Town had also mentioned this nocturnal category.

"You're scared of berserkers?"

Moonface and the hedgehog woman looked at each other and nodded, "They are one of the most powerful beings in the tribe, and they can crush us to ashes with the touch of a finger... It's a pity that I can't communicate, and all I have in my head is killing and destroying... Can only be kept in a secret room. ”

"Believe me, you don't want to come into contact with berserkers. All right... We're here," the hedgehog looked at a granite portal at the end of the hallway, "go in, they're waiting for you." ”

Dean gave a reassuring look to his companion behind him, who was so nervous that he couldn't breathe, that he led the way inside.

……

Rough, primitive, empty halls, a series of lifelike murals carved in granite on the four walls -

In the first picture on the left hand, a giant with a vague face is propped up by iron chains on the ancient rune stone pillar, spreading out like a totem, and a terrifying black burning aura is permeated around it.

In the second, Black oppresses a group of hunters and inquisitors with muskets, chains, and occult weapons, chasing and killing humanoid monsters with deformed bodies and running wildly, peeling them and deboning them, slaughtering corpses all over the field, so that every grass stem is soaked in blood, and the earth is full of bones.

In the third, a black-robed missionary with a cross on his chest stands in the midst of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, shouting out to God and reciting the Bible to the burning monster at the stake.

In the end, a small number of surviving monsters hid in the dark underground kingdom, huddled together to keep each other warm, and fell to their knees under the original giant totem...

This picture of suffering seems to have mysterious and unpredictable magic, and the music of mad killing, screaming and struggling, and hope for survival plays in the minds of everyone in Dean.

They couldn't help but lament, grieve, and indignate at the tragic fate of the monsters in the mural.

The most sensitive Christine and Monica couldn't help but have red eyes.

Grunt.

An eerie boiling sound regained everyone's attention, and in the center of the empty hall, in a metal cauldron on a half-human-high brown stone pillar, some kind of turbid liquid suddenly rolled in the cauldron.

Wisps of water vapor evaporated into the air, and the dim light transmuted in humidity and haze, and suddenly a group of murderous and cold human figures condensed.

It was as if they had teleported from some space to the hall.

In the center was a tall old man, dressed in a filthy, humble linen robe like that of a medieval prisoner, with hair as thick as a grayish-brown broom, wrinkled cheeks, and several gill scars that added to his majesty and respect.

Compared with those strangely shaped nocturnal species, his appearance is not much different from that of humans, neither tall nor strong, but this thin figure exudes a kind of immortal vicissitudes and vast temperament in history.

The powerful energy that overflowed from the body squeezed the space distorted and deformed.

He's at least level 6 like a nail head.

"High Priest Resper... We brought people here. ”

The Hedgehog Lady and Moon Face, who had stepped into the hall, bowed to the old man who had suddenly appeared, and then withdrew.

The old man nodded, his eyes like two ammonite stones on a dry seabed, with eternal majesty and wisdom penetrating the soul, swept the faces of the six guests, and an invisible pulse in the air spread to Dean, piercing through the skin like a knife to his bone marrow soul.

Let Di An's head rise a slight feeling of discomfort,

But Dean's simulacrum after being elevated by divinity twice was already able to deceive the gods, and the high priest could not see the slightest secret from him, only his eyes became more and more dark and serious.

Dean's gaze turned to the nocturnal species of at least level 5 beside the High Priest.

The one on the far right has a crocodile's long snout, and its mouth is full of jagged fangs that spew out a terrifying fishy wind, and it is half-crouched on the ground;

The second has a half-black and half-white yin and yang face, which makes people dizzy at a glance, leaning against the stone wall behind him with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and picking his teeth with black and white intertwined nails;

The third man is a sturdy man with a pair of long horns on his head that reaches into the sky, and his hands are around his chest to examine the guests, his breath is strong, and his eyes are full of oppression...

Standing on the left hand side of the high priest is a man with a Chinese face, with distinctive Asian features, a bright orange skin that is very different from that of humans, various stripes like amphibians, and even on land, it remains wet and slippery.

At the moment he hunched his back slightly, his long, side-flat tail dragged by his tail vertebrae hovering in mid-air.

He frowned, sniffing the scent from a distance of twenty meters, his eyes slowly skimming over Dean's features, as if he was recognizing something... Soon, there was a strong hint of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.

On the other side, Dean nodded at the man, and a sense of accomplishment and kinship that he had worked so hard to achieve his goal arose spontaneously, making the corners of his mouth grin.

After trekking through mountains and rivers, countless battles and events, and a journey of tens of thousands of kilometers, I finally found you - Lu Guangming!

The progress of the Hell difficulty event "Bloodline" has jumped to 100%!

You can continue to increase your progress and increase your rewards.

……

Hmmm-

Colorful tears poured out of the eye sockets like an aurora, and flew out of Dean's body uncontrollably, eager to pounce, hug the father who had been absent for many years, and take him back to reunite with his mother Lena!

But Dean's telepathy stopped him, and he saw the high priest slowly parting his hands towards them, and his hoarse voice echoed through the hall.

"The moon of the tribe embraces you, children of destiny, the seventh... Welcome to Midian. ”

"The Seventh?" The crocodile's mouth exchanged a sudden look with the yin and yang faces beside him, "No wonder there is such an amazing killing aura." ”

With flames jumping in the horned man's eyes to burn people to ashes, he hooked his hand at Dean, as if he couldn't see his companion behind him at all, "Dude, come and learn, or warm up." ”

"Shut up, Rand, is your brain stuffed with muscles, now is not the time to win or lose!" At this time, Lu Guangming, who had already turned into a nocturnal species, reprimanded the horned man, staring nervously at Dean's face, "Man, do we know each other, where have we met?!" ”

It was a completely unfamiliar Mexican face, but it gave him a kind of intimacy and throbbing that went deep into his soul.

"The last time we saw each other was more than nine years ago and we got along very well... I've got a lot to tell you, but I'll talk about it later. Dean smiled and soothed him, then looked at the High Priest, "Priest Resper, why did we call us all the way to Midian, we wanted to get an answer?" ”

High Priest Resper looked into Dean's eyes and said loudly, "Since you embarked on the path of monsters, you should have seen how fierce and fierce the persecution and pursuit of monsters by a part of the human race, whether you abide by the rules of human society or not, do good or evil, they will try to get rid of you, or tie up the operating table to make experimental specimens. This persecution has been delayed for thousands of years and has never stopped. ”

"In the outside world, even if you escape the pursuit of humans, another even more terrible law of convergence will drive you into a desperate situation, causing misfortune to your family and friends around you, and tormenting you for eternity and eternity..."

Respers's voice paused, with a hint of seduction,

"Midian, on the other hand, gives all the aliens a chance."

"Away from the persecution of some human beings and the law of convergence, live in safety, equality, and happiness."

……

There was a moment of silence in the hall in the air.

Dean and his party rolled their eyes in thought.

Monica and Peter's vampires flashed with a thick look of distrust on their faces, and they had the courage to retort,

"You summoned us to Midian, to protect us? Is this even more ridiculous than the claim that Jesus Christ is a saint? ”

"Two rookie rookies, it's best to weigh your own strength before questioning others." The horned man looked at the two vampires with disdain, as if he was looking at ants,

"Don't threaten guests." The High Priest gave him a warning look and calmly turned his gaze to the crowd, "Of course it is not free, Midianite provides you with shelter, and you need to be your own people first." ”

"It's exposed, you really have other plans for us, but sorry, we don't need this kind of protection." Sean and Boone looked around the gloomy hall and objected, "Living in the dark underground of Midian, for a long time, is no less than going to prison." ”

Christine hid behind Dean and added, "Our leader will protect us, and Midian will not be responsible. ”

"If you don't want to accept it, I don't force it, and I can even send you out of Midianite right away." The High Priest was not angry, but there was a hint of urgency in his tone, "But I want to warn you that a great catastrophe is coming. ”

"Only by staying in Midian, the seven children of destiny working together can we build Noah's Ark to survive the disaster."

"Disaster, what do you mean?" Di An's head moved,

The high priest looked meaningfully at the boiling stone cauldron in front of him, "Put your hands in it, and my lord will tell you the answer." ”

"Don't worry, man, I've been enlightened, and I swear I won't do any damage." Lu Guangming suddenly couldn't help but look at Dean and sincerely advised,

Dean really didn't feel any malice, and the Omen expertise didn't trigger a sense of crisis, so he did as he said and put his hand in the stone cauldron.

The boiling liquid was not hot to the hand, but with a chill that penetrated into the bone marrow, instantly freezing the soul, making Dean's eyes darken, and he caught a glimpse of a fleeting vision-

The sky, the earth, the ocean, the whole world, countless planets, were reduced to darkness and dead silence.

The darkness surpassed anything Dean had ever seen, like the interior of a cosmic black hole, if I had to describe it.

Everything is swallowed up, and time loses its meaning.

In the endless emptiness and darkness.

His own existence was also annihilated.

There was no more Dean, and even traces of his past existence were shredded.

Creepy, Dean hissed and gasped in his throat, and with lightning lifted his hand out of the stone cauldron and looked at the High Priest,

"What do I see?"

"The revelation of our Lord, your ultimate fate, but there is still the possibility of change."

"What caused this fate?"

"Enemy of our Lord, enemy of all life and existence."

Dean fell into deep thought.

"I'll try it too?!" Peter had never seen Dean with such a solemn expression, and he couldn't help but put his hand into the cauldron a second time.

As if sensing something, the High Priest looked at Peter's back and quietly glanced at the place where Beelzebub, the Lord of Gluttony and Lord of Flies, had imprinted.

Peter's face turned pale and he withdrew his hand.

Monica, Sean, Christine, and Boone tried them one by one.

"Why do we only see some illogical messy images, and I feel like some force is snooping into my body, and another force is hiding?"

"It takes time to understand and digest." The High Priest's gaze gently swept over everyone's faces, especially on Christine for a few more seconds, "But you have passed my master's test, now find a room with Lao Lu to rest and rest, I have to be absent for a while, and I will answer other questions for you when I come back." ”

Lu Guangming looked at Dean, "Let's communicate?" ”

"Yes."

Dean and his party left the hall with the six nocturnal species.

Resper's eyes became dark like an abyss, and in the next second, his figure disappeared in place, entering the deepest part of the underground kingdom.
