The blood-red Crusader Cross suddenly appeared in the jungle, and the earth shook violently. An ancient tree several meters high suddenly sank halfway into the soil, leaving only a two-meter-high section of the cross exposed on the surface.
When everyone looked at the cross in unison, there were constant vibrations in the ground. One ancient tree after another sank to the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, a circle surrounded by a cross appeared around us.
Looking up from my angle, the cross jungle surrounding us has turned into three staggered levels. The bottom level is only two meters high, and the last level is still towering into the clouds.
Countless crosses are like a circular execution ground, surrounding everyone.
Although we can't see the flow of breath, we can clearly feel that the cold and chilling air is like a pouring flood, rolling down from the sky and gathering towards the center of the circle.
The cold air that cannot be discerned by the human eye flows rapidly under people's feet.
Just a few seconds later, everyone seemed to be standing in waist-deep cold water, with a biting coldness below their waists and knees.
The reverse cross mark on my body caused an unbearable pain at this moment. I couldn't help but press my hand between the wounds. People standing in the circle, whether they were friends or foes, all wanted to A crowd gathered around me.
I held the sword in one hand and looked at the knight commander: "Now, we are all trapped. Have you not decided whether to exchange prisoners?"
"Let him go!" As the knight captain waved his hand, the Holy Light Knight let go of the prisoner, and I also pushed the armor on the ground.
The knight commander stared closely at Ye Xun and I's equipment and said: "There are also knight swords and guns, and there are a lot of them back."
Now, apart from the Secret Art of Ghost Eyes, Ye Xun and I are only relying on the weapons in our hands. If we hand over our weapons, no matter how many of us there are, we will have to be slaughtered by the Holy Light Knights.
Just as I was about to speak, the Knight Commander took the lead and said: "If you don't hand over the weapons that belong to us, it means you have not fulfilled the agreement. We have the right to fight back."
Ye Xun and I looked at each other and threw out the weapons in our hands. Two long swords were inserted into the open space between us and the knights at the same time. The swords trembled slightly and bursts of cold light swam. The cold light and shadow shone between me and the knight commander. The constant care on the faces of me and the knight commander made both of our faces turn cold.
The knight commander and I looked at each other for three or four seconds and finally said slowly: "The deal between us is over. From now on, we will not invade each other until we leave this cursed land."
"Okay!" I nodded and took two steps back. The people belonging to both of us retreated to our respective territories at the same time, leaving a clear isolation area.
Annie whispered: "Wang Huan, are we trapped?"
"We are trapped!" I nodded and said, "Now we can only explore the way slowly and draw lots! See who can get out first."
Anne and Andre turned around at the same time: "Everyone from Falcon, come here."
"Tulip family, prepare to draw lots."
The two parties walked up silently and began to draw out the life and death lots made by the two people one by one. Soon a falconer stood up.
Andre said in a deep voice: "Annie, give him a gun. And..."
Elena said before the other party finished speaking: "Andre, don't ask for too much. Every weapon now is precious. We can't waste it casually."
Andre suddenly roared: "It's my people who are fighting hard, not your Tulip family. Are you going to be stingy with a few grenades and bundles of explosives?"
Elena shook her head coldly and said: "Even if someone from our Tulip family wants to explore the road, I will still ask him to hand over his equipment. We have too few weapons, and we cannot waste any of them. They are what we used to break out of the siege." The essential."
"You..." Just as Andre was about to curse, I shouted angrily: "Stop arguing."
I said in a deep voice: "Annie, ask your people to hand over all the equipment except guns and bullets to Ye Xun. He will keep it under his custody."
"No..." As soon as Elena said a word, my face darkened: "Is Tulip's reputation bullshit?"
While the Tulip family glared at me, Elena lowered her head for the first time and handed her backpack to Ye Xun without saying a word.
Ye Xun took out two handguns from his bag and stuffed them into the adventurer's hands: "I wish you good luck!"
The man took a deep look at Ye Xun, then turned around and walked into the Cross Forest. I stared at the other person's back, and the man disappeared under my eyes. When I wanted to turn around and look, Ru Lin towering A scream suddenly came from the cross.
The next moment, the adventurer who walked into the jungle appeared on the cross on the last floor.
I looked at the other person and quickly lifted into the air with my back against the tree trunk without any help, and reached the cross position in the blink of an eye.
The man's figure stuck between the tree trunks out of thin air, his hands suddenly raised to both sides of his body, and he pressed tightly against the cross beam as if he was being suppressed. In an instant, two long nails were thrust out of the man's arm bones, hanging him on the cross.
The screams of the people on the ground died down, and the adventurer's feet were folded together and pressed against the bottom of the cross. Just as the opponent's soles of the feet touched the tree trunk, a long nail pierced out from the inside of the tree trunk and penetrated it. The opponent's feet.
In just a few minutes, the adventurer who walked into the Cross Jungle crossed a distance equivalent to more than fifty meters, appeared on the last level of the jungle, and was nailed to the cross alive in front of everyone. .
Before the people trapped in the clearing had time to scream, there were four "clicks" from the tree. The adventurer who was nailed to the tree seemed to have had his hands and feet broken off with something, and his limbs were twisted. Sticking to the cross and motionless.
After a while, the man's breathing began to become faster and faster, and blood oozed from his seven orifices. His head, which was still shaking desperately, slowly hung down, and the blood dripping from his seven orifices dropped drop by drop. Towards the trunk of the tree, the towering cross was soon dyed red.
The crucifixion usually lasted for several days, because the long nails that looked like they were driven into the person's arm were actually driven into the gaps between the people's arms, which did not damage the prisoner's bones and prevent the prisoner from dying of excessive blood loss. In the end, the prisoner Will die of suffocation.
The prisoner who was crucified had his back pressed against the cross and could only rely on his arms and legs to move his body to support his breathing. So there is a theory that the executioner broke the prisoner's legs to hasten his death.
However, no matter what, the adventurer should not die so quickly.
The man died too suddenly.
While I was staring at the corpse, there was a rustling sound from the branches piled up near the clearing. When I looked back, an adventurer suddenly seemed to have his feet entangled with something, and he fell to the ground with his head up. Before the people next to him could rescue him, the man was dragged into the leaves by something.
The companions around them only took a step forward to chase, and a blood mist rose up among the fallen leaves. As the leaves that were blown away by blood fell in the air, a bloody figure also jumped out of the grass, screaming hoarsely. He shouted and hugged an adventurer: "Save me...save me..."
"No... let go..." The adventurer was so frightened that he couldn't even muster the strength to fight back except for struggling desperately.
In the distance, Ye Xun snatched a machete from the adventurer beside him. He looked at the blood-red figure with the knife in his hand. When the other person was chopped to the ground, I saw his true face clearly. It was a man who was killed alive. The person who was skinned was the adventurer just now
Everyone was frightened by the floating blood and stepped back. Suddenly, a piece of pale human skin flew out from the bushes. The blood on the inside was still wet, but the outside was particularly hot. After being thrown into the sky by some unknown force, it floated in the air with its arms stretched out, like a bat flying low in the sky. It floated back and forth in the sky several times before landing. Towards the ground, it lay flat next to the bloody corpse.
The red bloody corpse and the white human skin were placed side by side on the ground as if they had been deliberately placed. The corpse's face was bleeding downwards, and the human skin was facing upward, with distinct facial features. The one red and one white being stripped away was even more terrifying.
Both the adventurers and the knights were as silent as death for a moment. Apart from the pounding heartbeat, no other sounds could be heard.
Originally, the heartbeat caused by fear did not make people feel scared.
However, someone's heart began to beat faster and faster, and the rapid sound was like that person's heart couldn't wait to break free from the constraints of the chest and burst out of the body. Many people subconsciously turned their heads to the sound of the heartbeat. direction.
The moment dozens of eyes focused on one person, that person's chest exploded with a loud bang from the inside out. The bright red beating heart was sprayed two meters away by the blood flow from his body, until the heart fell to the ground. Still vibrating on the fallen leaves.
The adventurers surrounding the corpse instantly gave way to a clearing, and no one dared to get any closer to the corpse.
Annie said in a trembling voice: "Wang Huan... cursed... has the cursed land merged?"
I turned around suddenly and said, "What do you mean?"
Anne trembled her fingers and pointed at the corpse on the ground: "That's the skinning curse... That's the ghost of the heart-gouger... On the road... The curse on the road is coming."
I reached out and pulled Annie to me: "Can you please speak clearly?"
Anne trembled: "From the front to the forest of the dark castle, there are five cursed places. They... they are now integrated."
Elena turned back and shouted to Andre: "Did your people take something they shouldn't have? Say it quickly!"
Andre shook his head and said, "Did I touch anything?"
Elena sternly said: "Nonsense, curse no one to set out and not follow us. It must be your people, it must be..."
