Chapter 22: Danger! The Gargoyle and the Vineman in the Great Temple!

Cross looked back at the people who were waiting, then at the young man with a determined attitude, and after a long hesitation, he turned back.

"I'm sorry, I'll be following later. ”

Walking out of the aisle and watching the men go away, Cross stared at the young man's immature face, and after a moment the look of disappointment was replaced by a look of encouragement, and he patted the young man on the shoulder.

"It's okay, I can understand you, I was timid when I was your age, you just stay here, I have to follow. ”

Cross apparently misunderstood Downing, thinking he was lying, just to get out of the passage.

"Believe me, I'm not trying to find an excuse to escape, come with me. ”

Downing reached out and grabbed Cross, turned and walked quickly along the edge of the lake.

He could have stayed on the shore with a coward and watched those people enter from the wrong place.

But...... Cross has a special meaning for him!

The care and trust from this world is already pitiful, and Cross is one of them, and he doesn't want to lose.

All the way to the place where the male elk jumped into the lake, the path was gone, and the water surface was calm and pitch black.

Downing pointed in front of him.

"There's a road here, go down from here. ”

Cross looked at the dark surface of the lake, stunned, and looked incredulous.

Practice is the best proof of this.

Faced with Cross's expression, Downing walked to the place where the elk jumped into the water, stretched out one foot and hung on the water, secretly cheering himself up.

"I hope the judgment is right, otherwise I will become a reservoir chicken, smiling and generous, and sitting on the name of a coward. ”

Close your eyes and slam in.

The soles of the feet touched the solid ground and did not fall directly into the water.

Bet right!

Downing opened his eyes, and his feet were on a stone staircase, and the water surface naturally parted, just as the elk had stepped in.

Look back at Cross.

Cross couldn't help but smile wryly when he saw the young man's feet in the water, his trouser legs and shoes soaked.

"Shall we dive?"

Tang Ning's eyes were sincere, and he stretched out his hand to signal.

"Trust me, follow me. ”

Cross hesitated for a long time, walked over and stepped into the water as the young man stepped into the water, smiling bitterly and speaking helplessly.

"Hopefully the crocodiles in the lake aren't too hungry. ”

When the shoe touched the water, Cross looked stunned and looked at the situation in front of him.

Apparently he had also seen what the young man had seen, and had hesitated for a long time and shouted excitedly.

"God, Stewart, how did you find out?"

Tang Ning began to step on the steps to go deeper, the water surface continued to separate, and the melodious sound in the passage flickered far and near, making people comfortable, like a spring breeze, he pretended to be modest.

"The male elk's behavior gave me some hints. ”

In addition to the behavior of the elk, there are also the words of the elk.

The animals here have been affected by the awakened Voyeur's Eye.

The old director of the Investigation Bureau of Raven Town only found that their intelligence had improved a lot, but he did not find that they were already able to distinguish illusions, so the male elk reminded himself, and then jumped into the dark water without hesitation, and the lake water showed those magical changes.

Because......

The lake itself is an illusion!

Tang Ning was immune to illusions, and when he touched the lake, the illusions were cracked.

Of course, it was only a bold guess before it was not practiced, and now it has been confirmed.

This would also explain why the divine magic of the ruling warrior Elton would be invalid here, as everything seen was just an illusion, and the divine magic prayer spell used on the physical object would of course be invalid.

As for Cross, it's just his own light.

Kroos was able to touch his own light and was also unaware of it before, but he tried to gamble, even if he made the wrong bet, the director would become a soup chicken......

Now it seems that he made the right bet, and when his immunity cracks the illusion, the people around him will also see the truth.

He was scared for a while.

"After gaining the ability to be immune to illusions, it was fortunate that I didn't touch the corpse of Director Alex, otherwise the trees inside the coffin would have revealed their prototypes, including the slain church retirees. ”

There is a doubt, though.

"The Eye of God can crack all illusions, how does the illusion exist here?"

Tang Ning stepped on the steps and walked towards the abyss at the bottom of the lake, doubting in his heart.

"Could it be that the Eye has been stolen?"

The depth of the lake is more than 300 meters, and the sight before you is shocking as you walk to the bottom with doubts.

"No one would believe that a magnificent temple is hidden at the bottom of the Star Lake. ”

Cross exclaimed.

The Gothic building, with its spires springing up like mushrooms after a rain, about 30 meters high, has a dark surface, a heavy iron door half-hidden, a gap where it is impossible to see what's inside, and a steel doorknob that has been touched for a long time.

Downing was about to step forward and push the door.

"Stewart, I'm coming. ”

Cross stopped the young man, his eyes caring.

"You're still young, there's still a long way to go, and things that are too dangerous aren't for you. ”

Tang Ning saw his father's aura in this director, and he couldn't be more caring, which made him sure that his previous decision was right.

Take two steps back, hold the Beretta 92F in your hand from your bosom, and open the safe.

Cross stepped forward and grabbed the doorknob, and with the straining of his arms, the iron door made a dull noise and slowly opened.

Darkness strikes.

In the darkness there was the sound of a soo.

Downing gripped the pistol tightly and pulled the trigger with his index finger.

Cross, who was at the door, suddenly burst into flames in his arms and legs.

Flames spread from the legs and arms and spread into the interior of the main hall.

After about a few seconds, the flames went out, and Cross's arms and legs were intact, and he turned around and shook the ashes from his legs and arms.

"It's a bit too child's bald to test a master of fire elemental supernatural powers with Fujiman. ”

Syllable Soso's voice came from the vines, which had just wrapped around Cross's limbs.

Tang Ning clenched his pistol tightly and looked at the turned director, his fingers pulling the trigger.

"Bang"

A loud noise made the ear cavity buzz.

"Hiss......"

There was a scream inside the door, and something fell to the ground!

Coming back to his senses, Cross looked back at what had fallen to the ground.

What landed on the ground was like a bat, with a pointed beak and fangs, and was half a man's height.

"Gargoyle ......"

His face was pale and he seemed to have palpitations.

"Stewart, you've saved me again, being touched by this thing will petrify. ”

As he spoke, Cross's arm was raised, and fiery tongues of fire erupted from the palm of his hand, forming a curtain of fire, and a large number of gargoyles rushed to the curtain of fire and turned into fireballs that fell to the ground, letting out a scream.

When the gargoyle blast was over, Cross withdrew his hand and walked inside.

"Hold on and don't fall behind. ”

Tang Ning walked up vigilantly and looked inside, which was already brightly lit at the moment.

The two vines lit by Cross, one on the left and one on the right, clinged to the walls on the left and right sides of the room, and lit the candles on the menorah on the walls on both sides as they burned.

The scene inside is clearly visible by candlelight.
