Chapter 21: The Unusual Behavior of Male Elk

The cloak of the cardinal priest trembled slightly, and the four of them let out a low chant at the same time, low and melodious.

At first, there was no response, but as the chanting progressed, Tang Ning's head was dizzy, and the world was spinning around.

"What's going on?"

Compared to Downing's reaction, the agent from the Raventown Investigation Bureau looked pained, his face was pale, and his knees were limp and curled up in a ball.

"Blasphemy of holy relics is punishable. ”

Elton playfully looked at the fallen agent and reminded him.

The old director was visibly annoyed, and his voice rose a few decibels.

"Elton, we're not here to be vindictive, and if you can't trust unconditionally, there's no need for this investigation to continue. ”

Elton spread his hands and turned back to signal that the chanting had stopped.

When the chanting stopped, the fallen detective looked a little better and got up, and his heart palpitated.

Tang Ning's discomfort also disappeared, and after recovering his expression, he also looked at the iron box with palpitations, whether it was disrespect in words or blasphemy in his heart, it would bring different degrees of punishment, and he swept away his inner thoughts.

Suddenly, there was a sparse sound in the dense forest not far away.

Everyone looked at the place where the sound came from.

...... in the dark

Behind the torsos of those stout trees, a pair of eyes glowed green, densely packed.

Downing put one hand on his chest and looked at the countless pairs of eyes behind the torso of the trees, and with the help of the torches, he could see that they were all animals from the forest.

The eyes of these animals resemble those of the crow, which is uncomfortable.

A moment later, a male elk slowly walked up from behind the trunk of the tree, and stopped five meters away from the crowd, the corners of his mouth wriggling, as if chewing something.

Only Downing knew it wasn't chewing.

A low, old voice came from the mouth of the male elk.

"Look carefully, don't be deceived by appearances. ”

Tang Ning glanced at the companions around him with a weak heart, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the companions did not hear clearly, this sentence was obviously said to himself who could understand.

Out of politeness, he nodded slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the male elk suddenly accelerated towards the crowd.

After discovering that it was an animal, everyone who had already relaxed their vigilance was caught off guard by the sudden change, and they all avoided in a panic, looking embarrassed.

Tang Ning could dodge, and his palm had reached into his chest.

"Puff"

The male elk jumped into the dark lake in full view of everyone, and quickly sank, rippling the surface of the water before calming down.

After a few moments, Elton returned the sword that had been drawn to the scabbard on his back to remind everyone.

"These beasts are tainted by the awakened Voyeur's Eye and behave strangely, be careful. ”

After the change just now, everyone's nerves tensed and cheered up.

But for Tang Ning, his shock at the moment was beyond measure, staring at the surface of the lake, to be precise, the male elk that jumped into the star lake.

The male elk did not drown, it walked on the riverbed at the bottom of the lake.

"It's not the riverbed, it's the steps. ”

As the male elk moves forward, the dark and bottomless lake water continues to split, and layers of steps appear where the male elk has stepped on, and the black lake water on both sides of the steps forms a wall of water, as if it is solidified, unable to merge into the place where the male elk walks.

Shaking his head and looking again, it was still the same.

"Not a hallucination!"

Tang Ning confirmed and looked at the rest of the people, whose expressions at the moment revealed that they hadn't seen this.

"What's going on? Is it an illusion?"

But this is where the Eye of the Voyeur is located, and the Eye of the Voyeur is revived, able to circumvent all illusions......

At this time, Elton raised his hand and pointed to a place about fifty meters away.

"We have previously explored and it is the best place to enter the lake from there. ”

With everyone moving towards the target location, Tang Ning walked at the end and recalled the shocking picture just now.

Moving to his destination, Elton knelt on one knee, pulled out his sword and plunged it into the wet dirt in front of him, pressed his right hand on the gold epaulette on his left shoulder, and whispered a silent recite in his mouth.

Open the secrets, reveal the dark zone, drive away the tears of grief, the silver sword flashes, experience the dawn of the heart, you see my body, my soul, let all things make those mysterious creations that already have, in your name]

There are countless prayers in the church, both civil and military, and those who are selected from an early age begin to read and recite them by heart, until the preferred ones are adults and officially enter the church sequence and hold the corresponding positions, so that they can become familiar with the purpose of each prayer.

Prayer is over!

The pitch-black lake in front of him remained the same, unchanged.

One of the agents in the Bureau of Investigation let out an inopportune mocking laugh and only shut up when he realized the occasion.

Elton grimaced, repeating the incantation.

The lake continues to be calm.

After three successive times, the ruling warrior finally relented, stood up, flushed, and looked at the priests from the church headquarters.

The four priests stood in the place where Elton had prayed with chains, their knees on their knees, whispering.

No one could understand the chanting of prayers from the cardinals.

In view of the situation last time, Tang Ning, who was at the back of the line, stood a little farther away.

After a few moments of chanting, the chain-linked iron box vibrated slightly, and a faint glow emanated from the cracks in the iron box.

The calm black lake in front of me was as rough as the sea.

The water was separated where they were, and a passage stretched to the bottom of the lake, much the same as the one through which the elk passed, with the same steps, but instead of flowers, covered with thorns.

The red-clothed priest stood up and hugged the iron box tightly, not leaving an inch.

"Now let's go in and keep up. ”

Elton stepped in first, followed by four priests and an iron chest containing the reliquary.

Everyone rushed in, and those midship-adjudicating warriors had never seen such a grand scene, and their expressions were longing.

"Stewart, stay right behind me, don't fall behind. ”

Cross reminded Downing before stepping into the water's parting passage.

Downing nodded, followed Kross, and after taking the first step, a terrifying howl came to his ears.

The piercing howl was uncomfortable, and countless gargoyles flew in front of them, with scarlet eyes and long, narrow fangs.

Seeing this scene, he reached out and grabbed Cross in front of him.

Cross looked back in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

His voice caught the attention of everyone in front of him, and they all turned around.

With the exception of the old director and Elon Musk of the Magic Society, the returning church congregations and the agents in Raventown had a playful look on their faces, as if to say "coward." ”

Tang Ning hesitated for a moment and explained in a low voice.

"It's not the best channel. ”

Hearing this description, the crowd burst into laughter.

A trainee referee sneered.

"Is the hero agent from Momiji Town scared?"

Cross blushed and lowered his voice.

"Stewart, you're the best agent in Red Leaf Town, don't hold back, let people see jokes. ”

Tang Ning stared at the director in front of him who took good care of him, hesitated for a moment and was firm.

"Trust me, there is another way. ”
