The discovery of this truth shocked Chen Rui greatly. The black hand of the mysterious church spread to the orc clan!
To be precise, the orcs were also victims of being deceived. Their belief in the beast god was transformed into the evil god of the mysterious church!
As the saying goes, freezing three feet does not happen in a day. Judging from the situation of the Temple of God's Prayer, this deceptive plan must have been implemented for a long time.
At this time, only the last phantom of the god-given weapon remained, and the bodies of the other three people had disappeared, leaving only the secret attendant who was protected by the Spring Realm had not dissipated. The disappearance speed of the phantom has also been eased, so this secret attendant will not be annihilated for a while.
"I didn't expect you to be Black Death! This is the southeastern part of the mainland. That Long Mertier is not the Archbishop of the Southern District, no, he should be higher than the Archbishop..."
The secret servant was shocked, and lost his voice: "You... who are you! You know so many secrets of the church!"
"Tell me the whereabouts of Long Mertil and the half-elf!" Chen Rui's eyes looked extremely cold, with a strange power that made the soul tremble, "Otherwise I will pull out your soul right now and torture you slowly. Even if you are Believers in the abyss, if you lose your soul, there will be no so-called rebirth! Then, I will hand over your soul to the Church of Light. You should know how they deal with the Black Death. At that time, death will be nothing but It's just wishful thinking!"
Although Chen Rui's words were intimidating, he learned a lot of inside information about the mysterious church from Shura, such as the interpretation of the rebirth of the soul in the teachings of the Black Death. These words hit the opponent's vital point, and the secret servant's body trembled suddenly. Seeing Chen Rui's hand gradually approaching, he couldn't help shouting: "The great wizard took that half-elf to the blood cave!"
"Blood cave? Where is it?"
"The secret cave of Nightmare Volcano is the highest sacrificial place in this branch... There is a teleportation array behind the statue that can be reached directly, but only Master Longmeier can open it." The secretary gritted his teeth and said, "I have already sent everything I know. Say it, give me a happy time!"
"The last question, why did Long Mertil arrest that half-elf girl?" Chen Rui already had a destructive force in his hands.
"The blood sacrifice dedicated to the Lord God requires a main sacrifice. Lord Longmeier once used the secret technique of the eye of the blood sea to search, and just sensed the special physique possessed by the half-elf girl, which is the best main sacrifice, so he issued a reward make."
Although Chen Rui didn't quite understand how the secret technique of the Eye of Blood Sea found Blanche, he finally understood the cause and effect. Right now, he must feel that the blood cave of the Nightmare Volcano rescued the half-elf girl. The strength was withdrawn.
The secret attendant who lost the protection of the Spring Realm immediately began to lose his vitality rapidly, and his body gradually flickered. At this time, the phantom of the "whip" was already weak and invisible. This secret attendant would soon be annihilated like those three companions.
"It's too late, the first stage of the blood sacrifice should have been completed..."
The secret servant's last words before the annihilation made Chen Rui's heart tighten. He hurriedly quickened his pace and walked towards the three-story relief. After a while of groping, he opened a secret door, and found a two-way teleportation array in the secret door. .
The secretary once said that only Long Mertil himself can open this teleportation array, but the spiritual imprint of Long Mertier swallowed by Chen Rui is still intentionally kept without "digestion", plus ample power of faith. Theoretically speaking, he is another dragon Metil, who can freely enter and exit any "permission" place in the Swamp of Doom.
Facts have proved that this theory is completely in line with the practice. Turning on the teleportation array did not consume too much time for Chen Rui. Soon, he came to the blood cave through teleportation.
If the Swamp of Doom is a dangerous place in the Plain of Nightmare, then the Nightmare Volcano is a Jedi, and almost no life survives in the volcano. And the Blood Cave is in this Jedi Nightmare Volcano, with boiling lava everywhere, the terrible high temperature is suffocating, and even the vision has a distorted illusion.
Chen Rui walked forward step by step, walked through two bends, and came to a big cave, his eyes froze immediately.
Corpses, corpses everywhere, piled up together, almost covering the flat ground in the middle.
The flat ground was the size of a playground, like an isolated island wrapped in a sea of molten lava, and the ground was covered with dried blood. Judging from the color of the ground, the number of people who died in this place was probably far more than what was seen in front of them. Due to the high temperature evaporation, the corpses of men and women who have lost moisture have become extremely dry and look more ferocious, but the races can still be identified, including humans, orcs and half-orcs.
The strange thing is that there is no breath of life here, and there is no trace of the great wizard dragon Mertil.
These corpses are circled by some kind of strange patterns on the ground. The sunken parts in these pictures and texts are blood-red crystals, which seem to be the essence formed by the coagulation of these top-quality blood, and they are connected together, like words one by one. .
These patterns gave Chen Rui a familiar feeling, right! The slate of Sokrates, the magic circle master of Starlight Academy!
The slate is still in the hands of the elf master Fenoa. It turns out that the concave connection of those patterns is the real mystery...
This is actually some kind of text used by the mysterious church to perform evil sacrifices, or it can be called... the language of the abyss
With his heart hanging tightly, Chen Rui tried to find the body of the half-elf, but fortunately he never found it, and found the blood-red altar in front of the mountain of corpses all the way.
There are also several corpses under the altar. The strange thing is that these corpses are not as dry as those in the circle, and their expressions are lifelike, as if they have seen something extremely terrifying.
Judging from the attire, the identities of these corpses should be guards of the altar and auxiliary wizards. Could it be that Long Mertier sacrificed his subordinates for the sake of sacrifice
Chen Rui walked up to the altar step by step, suddenly startled, his eyes focused on the corpse on the altar, it wasn't Blanche, but... a tall woman wearing a black cloak with a thin face, with a thin face beside her. There is also a silver staff on the ground, the top of the staff is in the shape of a beast skull, with two curved horns.
Looking at this woman's appearance and attire, she is clearly the Great Wizard Dragon Mertil!
Long Mertier is dead
The blood sacrifice this time is to offer sacrifices to the "main god", and the main sacrifice is Blanche, so now how to explain that Long Mertier has put his life on the line
Like those guards, Long Mertil didn't have any scars on her body, as if her soul power suddenly disappeared in an instant, but her expression was a bit strange, apart from horror, it was more unbelievable, and there seemed to be a bit of panic
Perhaps it was an illusion, Chen Rui shook his head, what about Blanche
Where is Blanche
There was a glimmer of hope in Chen Rui's heart, and he began to carefully search for the whereabouts of the half-elf girl. At this moment, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared closely at the ground near the edge of the magma behind the altar. There was something there. Glasses.
The magic glasses he gave to Blanche back then!
This is a quasi-sacred weapon, capable of imprisoning Blanche's blood annihilation mutation. Without the half-elf girl's own will, no one can take it down!
Judging from Blanche's attitude last time, glasses should be one of the things she cherishes most, and she will never give them up easily.
Glasses left here, so...
Chen Rui rushed forward and looked down the rock wall, but there was no sign of Blanche there, only the raging hot magma.
There seemed to be a scene in his mind. Blanche took off her glasses at the critical moment, and used the power of blood eyes to kill the dragon Mertil and others who wanted to kill her as a sacrifice. However, because of the opponent's counterattack or other reasons Stumbled into the lava...
Chen Rui bent down and carefully picked up the glasses, as if he picked up the strong and weak girl. With the last luck, he searched every corner of the vicinity over and over again, but unfortunately he never found anything.
The terrain of this cave used for secret sacrifices was simple and secret, and there was no other way out except the teleportation array, which was tantamount to a dead end, which made him give up his last hope.
He fought all the way and rushed here desperately, and this was the result.
In fact, from the time of their acquaintance to the present, he and Blanche had only a handful of conversations. The half-elf girl seemed not good at words, let alone expressing her emotions. Only those three words seemed firm.
I'm waiting for you.
"Blanche!" Chen Rui felt a pain in his heart, roared, and punched the ground, the hard ground that had been bathed in magma for countless years suddenly collapsed in a large area.
Black dead! Mysterious Church! Chen Rui's figure flew out roaringly, the knuckles of his clenched fists turned white from excessive force, he must completely uproot that cult! Avenge Blanche! Take revenge for all innocent people!
When Chen Rui's figure disappeared in the teleportation array, the magma in the blood cave suddenly surged up, refracting countless mirror-like spatial phantoms, which gradually became real, and a huge vortex had formed in the sea of flames.
In the center of the vortex, a fiery red magma surged and slowly rose, blooming layer by layer, like some kind of flower. The central part of the flower began to glow with extremely pure blood, and gradually, all the magma stopped moving and began to crystallize and solidify, which was a spectacle.
The mass of blood light was revolving rapidly and turned into a human form. This is a naked female body. The light red skin is covered with spider web-like cracks, and the texture is golden red. It seems that the blood circulating in the whole body is not blood but molten pulp.
On the woman's face, delicate facial features can be vaguely seen, and her pupils, one blue and one red, are staring in the direction of the teleportation array.
She slowly withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, and looked at the horrible skin and blade-like nails on her raised hand. In her blue pupils, a drop of flame-like teardrops slowly fell.
The drop of "flame" that fell straight down hit the solidified crystal, and in an instant, all the solidified crystals shattered at the same time and returned to surging magma.
The magma seemed to have some kind of intense emotion, violently churning and agitating, engulfing everything including the teleportation array and the sacrificial platform.
After everything was reduced to ashes, the woman slowly closed her eyes, and the raised blood column slowly sank into the magma, like an angel with broken wings falling into the darkness.
