Humanoid Machines [Unlimited] Section 287
"Don't you want to leave? I showed them a clear way, why do they have to not believe and experience more setbacks? ”
The fat man muttered to himself, revealing a distressed expression, as if the old man was embarrassed to watch the young man go astray.
They wanted to leave the village only if they had fulfilled God's desires.
So no matter where they end up, they can only have one place to go, and they can only return there.
The altars in the ground、The place where they are really used for sacrifices, awakening the gods to bless them。
Ignoring the fact that the hands and feet of some of the villagers were still not fully grown, the fat man had already stepped forward and led the others to a deeper and more hidden passage in the ground.
"Catch them." The fat man gave an extremely cold order, "Then kill them and sacrifice to the gods." ”
- Only sacrifices.
Satisfying the evil god is the only way to get out of here.
This is a method that neither the villagers nor Xiao Qi has revealed.
In this dungeon, the gods are real.
As long as there is a copy of the existence of "gods", it is usually a death difficulty. The player can't compete with the gods on his own, and the only thing he can do is to fulfill the gods' demands and leave with his promise.
This is also the only way to get her out of this purgatory revealed to Xiao Qi by the dungeon consciousness.
As for whether she will live or die after that, whether she can return to the system space, and where she should go - she doesn't care.
Chapter 302: Gold and Silver Village 81
Visibility is a little lower again.
The leader of the merfolk blinked slightly, and finally realized that it was not the light that had dimmed, but the blackening of her eyes, which was why it seemed as if a very dark mist had been covered under her eyelids.
Probably due to blood loss.
She thought.
More and more blood flowed out of her wrists, pooling up on her limbs and falling into the soft dirt, and she didn't even think that there could be so much blood in her body.
And after the soil under his feet sucked up the strange blood, a layer of dark red mysterious graphics began to gradually emerge on the ground. The patterns weave together, connecting the finely connected grooves in the edge ravines, and gradually painted with blood into a huge grotesque, like some kind of iconic symbol.
At this time, the merfolk leader realized that they were in the very center of an altar-like place.
She blinked a little dazedly.
Even in her memory, she hadn't experienced anything like it, and none of her predecessors had passed on such memories to her.
"You are a sacrifice."
Beside him, a cold voice came.
Xiao Qi's voice seemed to have some changes, and it was hoarse, so that for a moment, the mermaid leader didn't even realize that it was the girl talking to him.
The thick and extremely uncoordinated fish tail made her unable to move freely like a normal person, coupled with the dizziness caused by extremely strong blood loss, the mermaid leader at this time could only lie on the ground in a rather awkward position, feeling the extremely cold coolness, emerging from the ground and carving into the bone marrow.
Sensing some deadly, invisible steel knife hanging high above his neck, the merfolk leader could still laugh. She responded to Xiao Qi's words, "Ah, do I want to thank you for telling me this?"
“……”
Xiao Qi stopped talking again, she looked like she was a little distracted.
After seeing that the dark red lines on the ground had completely floated, he lowered his eyes and began to recite some kind of sentence with an unfamiliar accent.
The tone sounded very much like the special language of a certain ethnic minority, and the tone was very elegant, not so much reciting something as it was singing. The tone is still weirdly good, if it weren't for the scene they are in now, which is really dark and distorted, maybe this is a "song" that people will stop and enjoy.
What Xiao Qi was chanting, of course, was also the special prayer that the copy consciousness told her to summon the evil god.
I don't know if all the memorial ceremonies are so long, in the middle of the table, the blood of the mermaid leader is almost dry, and the wound is also a faint pink and white, as if it has dried up, and the prayer recited by Xiao Qi is only half-
Perhaps because of the special structure of the underground geology, the sound of Xiao Qi's recitation was actually very slight, but the tone was swirling around in the empty space, so that it produced some kind of amplification effect, which was quickly transmitted. In an instant, the cavern was filled with such chanting sounds, and could be heard everywhere you went.
At this time, Yuan Xuxue, who was deep in the ground, of course, also heard a similar tune, melodiously coming from the ear.
Almost immediately, players also misunderstood. Xiao Gao didn't even realize that it was Xiao Qi's voice, but frowned slightly, "...... Who's singing? ”
Although the sound can be heard, it is more difficult to determine the source of the sound after many transmissions.
The broken Hongmeng in Yuan Yuxue's hand had not been withdrawn, so he held it tightly in his palm.
His eyes narrowed slightly, his back straightened, as if he were stiff in place, and he just listened quietly to the tone that seemed to make people a little impetuous. But after only being silent for a breath or two, Yuan Yuxue turned around abruptly and walked in a certain direction with a very firm step.
He's fast.
At such a time, it is really inconvenient to explain.
But the others barely hesitated, didn't even ask any questions, and subconsciously followed the direction of Yuan Yuxue.
In the catacombs, there are indeed many dangers. The road isn't narrow, but it's inhabited by all sorts of weird and aesthetically degrading spirits - but players feel calmer than ever when they look at their weirdly twisted or bloody and broken faces.
Even if the gaze fell on them, not a single point was deviated by fear.
…… After all, now when watching Yuan Yuxue deal with the evil ghosts like chopping melons and vegetables, it is really difficult for them to feel a sense of fear or maintain respect for the lethality of these ghosts.
Before they had time to tremble, they saw that the demons had been dealt with, and until they got used to it, the most the players had to think about was that these evil ghosts who were not very good were too annoying to get in the way, hindering them from hurrying.
At an incredible speed, after quickly bypassing countless "difficulties and obstacles", Yuan Yuxue is still at the forefront.
According to his strength, it was enough to make those blood never splash on his knife or clothes, but because of the haste of this action, Yuan Xuxue didn't have time to calculate the most lethal angle, the most suitable position, and the most energy-saving way, and in a hurry, there was also a little blood splattered on his clothes, or it kept rolling down from the broken Hongmeng.
Even his cold temperament, which does not melt like frost and snow, has added a little evil aura because of these blood, which is particularly eye-catching.
And the edge is revealed.
"Yuan Desire Snow."
Xiao Gao followed behind him, and also solved some evil ghosts that were missed and not killed by a single blow.
Her workload is not large, but because of the non-stop attack action, she also feels the physical drain. Xiao Gao twisted his eyebrows and raised his head, just about to discuss with Yuan Yuxue, they might be able to use some props - at least they should not let Yuan Yuxue continue to consume physical strength like this, so as not to see Yuan Yuxue's figure suddenly stop when he was overwhelmed in the later battle.
He froze in place, his back still straight, as if he would never be bent by anything.
The pair of wrists that hung down and were placed on his legs shook slightly, and then they were pulled up again, and the blades were pointed straight in a certain direction.
They all looked over, and for a moment they only felt that their eyes were frozen.
In front of me was a very, very ...... Make them feel that there is some kind of subtle discomfort in their psyche, and it is very weird to feel the scene.
A dark red pattern emerges from the ground with some indescribable evil. In the center of the intersection of the blood-like lines of color, there was a lonely, somewhat stiff mermaid figure.
And not far away. Xiao Qi was kneeling down reverently, and she was facing the others with her back, so that the players couldn't see Xiao Qi's expression at this time.
But they all knew very well that the melodious prayer that sounded like a song came from her mouth.
Chapter 303: Gold and Silver Village 82
It's probably hard to describe the emotions that overflowed the players at that moment.
The expressions on their faces were not too pleasant, and before Yuan Yuxue made a move, there was already some kind of offensive prop that shot out of the suit's hands in advance.
And it was like a firearm, but the more dangerous weapon didn't penetrate anything, because at that moment, Xiao Qi turned slightly sideways.
Her figure seemed to sway only slightly, but she just managed to avoid the attack of her suit.
And such an attack happened to make her interrupt the ceremony.
The eerie tone of her singing has stopped, but under the special environmental influence, the players can still hear a little melodious aftersound—the inexplicable sharp part of the prayer seems to be constantly hovering against the stone wall, and then feeding back into the player's ear canal.
Compared with the last meeting, this meeting is obviously more unpleasant.
This time they were almost entirely on opposing sides, for the quest, for the quest, or for the same race they had promised to save.
And now, they witnessed that Xiao Qi was probably going to kill someone. And the man was now lying in the middle of the eerie altar-like spot, looking dead and dead except for the slimy blood that flowed from his body.
By the time Xiao Qi made further moves, the players had stepped forward quite quickly, blocking several directions in which she could escape - in fact, Xiao Qi didn't look like she was going to run away now. She just stood a little off the center of the altar, her face so pale that her lips looked like they had been bitten and bloodied.
Xiao Qi's figure looks a little thin.
In the cavern, the yin wind brought by those unknowable substances seemed to blow her down. And the inside of her weak body, which stood in the wind, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time, showed a certain yin owl aura that was about to burst out.
"Get out of here."
As for the number of people, it seems that it can't affect Xiao Qi's thoughts at all.
Her words were a little slurred, as if she hadn't recovered from the awkward pronunciation.
High on the ground, watching the player, or the Yuan Xue in front of you.
"Don't push me." She warned again, this time she stepped forward, her eyes erect like the pupils of a snake, and there was some kind of change that resembled a beast, "It's a shame that you didn't kill me before and let me get here." So, don't force me to ......"
Sticky blood dripped from her wrists, and the other players probably didn't notice it until then—except for the merfolk boss's injury. The woman, who seemed to be more of a monster than a human, also frantically injured herself. She cut her hand, causing the blood to rush warmly, and with her movements, it spurted out again, breaking through the thin healing wound and flowing again.
As she stepped forward, the altar beneath her feet seemed to be stirred up with a more obvious sign, and the dark red patterns were clearly outlined. From below, more "vines" grew - it was actually very inappropriate to call them "vines", because they looked like living creatures, like the veins and veins of some huge animal, wriggling, flowing with warm blood, as if they had their own consciousness, they caught Xiao Qi's feet, and slowly grew up.
At least from the player's feet, it seems to have directly pierced the soles of Xiao Qi's feet or other skin, and connected to Xiao Qi's body.
It is obviously a strange "blood vessel" that grows extremely strangely, but at this time, it has formed an extremely subtle fusion with Xiao Qi. It slowly climbed on Xiao Qi's body, and when it was fixed, it seemed as if it was born to look like that, and it didn't bring any sense of abnormality.
The feeling of watching a familiar person, at least outwardly human-like, slowly transform into a strange one.
At least now Ah Chuang's breathing seemed to be a little shorter, and Ah Dao silently untied the bandage on his back that wrapped the blade, the handle of the knife was clenched very hard in his palm, and the faintly floating green tendons could be seen on his arms.
In the field, Ah Dao was the only one who had directly fought with Xiao Qi. And the result of that time was not very good, although there was also a sneak attack by the other party and at that time Ah Dao was not ready to fight to the death, but it can also be summed up in one point: Ah Dao can't beat Xiao Qi.
And now Xiao Qi seems to have written all over his face: This is my home field, don't mess with me, or I'll kill you.
The altar was probably the source of her power, and the tricky thing was that they probably had to think about bringing the rescuers back from the very center of the altar—
When everyone's actions were a little deadlocked, frowning and looking at the altar that looked unfortunate, in Xiao Qi's warning eyes and words, Yuan Yuxue also quietly raised his knife.
The hilt of the knife was pitch black, falling into a pair of white and slender palms that seemed to have never been stained with wind and snow, and the color difference was particularly strong.
And Yuan Xuxue's movement of lifting the knife also seemed very slow and beautiful—probably because of his posture and the factor of being extraordinarily calm and graceful at this time.
So much so that this greatly dissolves a certain sense of danger, and makes people feel that the scene in front of them is like a performance that satisfies visual gluttony. However, as long as people who have seen Yuan Yuxue's knife use, they probably won't think so, they know very well how sharp Yuan Yuxue's knife will be, and how strong the lethality is, and they are quite good at blocking the enemy with one sword. So when Yuan Yuxue made such a light, more like a warning action, everyone else tensed up, and subconsciously separated their eyes and fell on Yuan Yuxue's body, as if he would go deep into the enemy camp and stab Xiao Qi's throat with a knife in the next moment.
Of course, Xiao Qi also stared at him.
When she saw Yuan Xuxue's movements, and the blade was pointing at herself, her face seemed to change a little.
