Arthur, who broke free from the wall, had no hold on the rope with his hands and no support at his feet. He should have fallen to the ground immediately, but the opponent's figure only sank half a foot downward, and white mist in the wall followed. The condensed white mist surged out like a demon's giant claws, grabbing Arthur's body from both sides and lifting him into the air again, and suddenly pulled him toward the groove in the stone wall.
I only heard a loud bang, and Arthur was dragged into the stone trough and died. He either smashed his head on the rock, or was completely unconscious in the white mist.
"I'll go up and have a look!" After taking a few steps back, I rushed towards the mountain wall with both feet. I stepped on the rock several times with my two feet in turn and jumped up. I reached out to grab a rope and climbed towards the mountain wall. go.
I stepped back, jumped, and climbed up the rock in one go. It only took a few seconds before I was close to Arthur. But in the blink of an eye, Arthur was sealed into the mountain wall by the reappearing stone skin. Only a back like a stone carving was left, and the fineness of the carving craftsmanship was clearly visible even to the hair on the back of Arthur's head.
If I hadn't seen Arthur sealed into the mountain wall out of thin air with my own eyes, I would have thought that the other party was a relief sculpture carefully carved on the rock.
I just paused next to Arthur, then raised my hand and punched the mountain wall. Stone skin less than half an inch thick flew up around my palm, and half of my arm followed Arthur. The shoulders go deep into the rock.
Without waiting for my palm to come into contact with the base of the stone trough, I suddenly retracted my palm and moved my fingers backward, clasping Arthur's shoulders with my fingers, and suddenly pulled him away.
The moment Arthur was lifted into the air by me from the stone wall, I suddenly felt a sharp pain on the back of my hand. When I raised my hand to look, the back of my hand was already covered with a layer of gray-yellow color like a rock.
The shock in my heart was not over, the rope in my hand snapped into two pieces, and I fell from the air. I was on the same level as Arthur who I had lifted up, and quickly fell towards the church roof. .
As my body was flying down, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a gray-yellow smoke like wolf smoke floating from Arthur's body.
The moment I turned my head, Arthur was completely enveloped in the flying sand-like yellow smoke, and his whole body was like a human-shaped lump of soil that went straight to the church roof and fell down.
"Be careful!" Ye Xun and Ren Tianqing roared at the same time. They stood up from the ground and went straight into the air. At the same time, they pushed towards me.
The two of them wanted to break the force of my plummeting. As long as they could pull me back a meter or two in the air, I would be equivalent to falling to the ground about three meters above the ground. Although scratches and bumps were inevitable, But it certainly won't kill you.
The two of them exerted force at the same time and indeed pushed me back more than half a meter, but I bumped into Arthur beside me without any deviation. The stone skin covering Arthur's body suddenly collapsed and flew away, and the other person seemed to be returning to the light. Suddenly, he grabbed my arm.
Ye Xun, the force of Ren Tianqing's push didn't stop, my arm was caught by the other party again, and I immediately rolled into a ball with Arthur and fell on the room. Arthur grabbed me and spun me around a few times before stopping with his back to the roof.
Before I could break free from each other's arms, the tiles beneath us both shattered. Arthur dragged me straight to the ground and fell. Suddenly, there was a tightness behind me, and my whole body was lifted up in the air, but Arthur was My eyes fell into the church that had not been cleaned for who knows how many years.
When the dust on the ground flew up under Arthur's collision, Lu Xinyao and Li Xiaomao worked together to pull me up from behind.
Ye Xun walked quickly to me and grabbed my left hand: "How is your hand?"
I shook my arm slightly, but found that my fingertips to my wrist were numb, and the back of my hand was covered with a hard crust like loess.
"Open" I poured zhenqi into the palms of my hands. Violent Gangqi burst out from both sides of my palms. A cloud of smoke like loess flew out of my palms. At the moment, I seemed to feel something coming from my palms. My hand flew out of my body, as if someone had pulled out a steel needle that had pierced my flesh. There was a sharp pain in the cold, and dense blood drops suddenly poured out of my hand. In the blink of an eye, , my left hand felt like a layer of skin had been peeled off, and it was covered in blood from the fingertips to the wrist.
"Don't move!" Ren Tianqing saw that I was trying to shake off the blood on my hands, and immediately grabbed my wrist, took out the wound medicine from my body and sprinkled it carefully on my hands.
While Ren Tianqing was still dressing my wound with a bandage, Ye Xun had already brought over the rope I had just grabbed: "Look here."
The broken end of the rope has been completely petrified, and hitting it with a dagger can even make a sound like hitting a stone.
Ye Xun said in a deep voice: "I saw it clearly from below just now. When you reached out to catch Arthur, a wisp of yellow sand-like smoke circled on the rope, and the rope, which was almost a foot long, became Stone."
I looked at the rock wall above me again, and the two remaining ropes that had not been disconnected were hanging in the air and swaying back and forth under the mountain wind.
What is strange is that when the rope hits the mountain wall, it makes a sound like rocks colliding.
The two ropes were also petrified!
I couldn't help but gasped: "Don't stand here, everyone get to the church, hurry up."
I turned around first and jumped into the church through the hole Arthur made. Ye Xun followed immediately and protected both sides of the gap, helping Ren Tianqing and the others to land.
The tulip pirates jumped off the roof one after another, but my heart sank slightly. Arthur's body was like a stone smashed into the ground, embedded two inches into the ground, but the exposed part had turned into a stone sculpture.
The curse of petrification did not stop just because we were far away from the mountain wall. Instead, it followed us like a shadow and entered the church together.
If it hadn't been for the fact that the Tulip Pirates hadn't finished gathering, I would have been the first to escape from the church, as far away from Arthur's body as possible.
I subconsciously wanted to move, but Elena grabbed my clothes and said, "Wang Huan, look over there."
When I looked in the direction of Elena's finger, I saw a cross hanging upside down on the wall.
"No!" I suddenly trembled: "Hurry up, everyone, come down, let's leave the Holy See."
The cross has an irreplaceable position in European religions. The straight cross represents the mercy of God, and the reverse cross, also known as the reverse cross, represents the wrath of Satan. It is an important symbol of European black magic.
In European mythology, once the reverse cross appears, it means that someone has given up on God's salvation and thrown himself into the arms of Satan, the master of hell. Every fallen angel will have such a mark on his body. Lucifer, once the most beautiful and glorious angel in heaven, was tempted and fell into hell and became Lucifer, the king of hell. He has this mark on him.
If the nobleman who signed a contract with the devil that Elena said really existed. Then, that church was the place where he performed black magic rituals and established a contract with the devil. It is also the source of terror in the entire dark castle. We fell from the sky and broke into the church, which was actually equivalent to stepping into the gate of hell.
Annie forced herself to calm down and said, "How many people are there up there?"
"There are three more!" Elena also panicked: "People above, hurry up..."
Elena's voice faded, and the roof above the cross seemed to have been hit hard by an external force. Stone tiles flew everywhere with a loud bang, and a bloody corpse also hung into the room among the flying tiles. .
At first glance, it looked like the man had smashed the roof with his head while he was still alive. He had leaned his body halfway into the roof, and blood was dripping down his hands and dripping in a row towards the reverse cross. Originally, it was a dark cross. It was instantly stained with a layer of human blood.
"Let's go!" I pulled up Ren Tianqing beside me and tried to get away, but the sound of door bolts locking was heard from the doors and windows on all sides of the church at the same time.
According to the normal design, the door bolt should be on the inside of the door to prevent someone from breaking in. However, the door bolt of this church is placed outside the door to prevent someone from breaking in. This is black. The most typical design among magic priests.
"Blow up the door and rush out!" As I roared, Ye Xun quickly loaded the shotgun with ammunition and pointed the gun at the door.
However, before Ye Xun had time to pull the trigger, Elena screamed: "You can't blow up the door. If you blow up the door, we're doomed! Look over there, snake, there's a snake coming out!"
I suddenly turned around and saw a palm-sized hole opened under the cross. A king cobra that was as thick as a human hand stretched out half of its body from the hole, wrapped around the main body of the cross and snaked upwards. He looked up at the crowd with cold eyes, opened his mouth and made a series of noises, and the pattern "666" suddenly appeared on his gradually expanding neck.
666 represents auspiciousness in China, but is regarded as the number of the devil in Europe, representing the coming of Satan, the lord of hell.
"Fire!" Ye Xun and I raised our guns at the same time and pulled the triggers together. Magnum's bullets shattered the snake's head first, followed by shotgun fire. Before the headless dead snake had time to fall from the air, it was blown up by Ye Xun's shot and its flesh and blood were scattered, and it was coiled by the snake. The reverse cross was also blown to pieces under the fierce gunfire.
What no one expected was that after Ye Xun's shot, two fires as thick as fingers ignited on the wall behind the cross.
The two lines of fire were like snakes meandering on the wall and going straight to the roof. In just a short moment, they formed a picture of a poisonous snake coiled around an inverted cross on the wall.
What is different from the previous scene is that behind the standing venomous snake, a pair of flames slowly spread out to form wings, and "666" flames appeared one after another in the middle of the snake's head.
Elena's eyes were blank and she said: "The contract has begun, and no one can stop the devil's contract."
