Deep in the primeval forest, hidden underground is the main hall of the Earth Temple.
Starting from the waist down, Qianqi and Lingyu were almost simultaneously frozen by the ice wall created by Feng Lan just now. Not far in front of them, Feng Lan easily dodged the arrows shot by Lao Yi and others, and then attacked them with cone-shaped icicles.
Lao Yi quickly raised his sleeves to block the icicles fired by Feng Lan, and shouted to his fellow tribesmen: "Everyone, be careful not to be hurt by the icicles!"
In order to deal with ferocious beasts like cats and jackals, the Orions have greatly improved the design of the sleeves of the clothing they wear when hunting. Although the sleeves look ordinary from the outside, they have a sandwich on the upper arm. In the middle of the sandwich, metal sheets are densely sewn one after another. When encountering a sudden bite from a beast, they can stretch out their arms to resist. The same specially designed sleeves can also block Feng Lan's icicles.
Feng Lan saw the icicles he emitted being bounced away by Lao Yi and the others with their sleeves, and said with a smile: "Interesting, I didn't expect the Orion tribe to be quite creative! But I'm afraid you guys can't resist it this time, right?"
After he finished speaking, he transformed a huge ice ball in his hand, and then threw the ice ball out with a flick of his wrist. The ice ball hit Lao B in a parabola, and the speed was very fast. Although Lao B was aware of it, he still couldn't dodge and was hit. To the left shoulder. With the heartbreaking pain caused by the contact with the ice, he heard the sound of bones in his left shoulder shattering.
The compatriots behind Lao Yi shouted loudly: "Boss!"
He only felt waves of dizziness caused by the pain, but he gritted his teeth and pushed through, looking up at Feng Lan angrily. He had rarely been as angry as he was at this moment. When he saw Feng Lan seriously hurting himself, he still had a joking smile on his face, as if he was just playing a game with him. This kind of contempt was simply an insult, which made him very angry. annoyed.
"You have a good look! It seems I should be more serious!" Feng Lan said with a smile, dodging the sword Qian Qi slashed at him, and then stretched out his hand to summon a spear made of ice.
"That's how serious you are. Can this thing be used as a weapon?!" Qianqi said disdainfully. In his opinion, this spear of pure ice must be easily shattered.
"You'll know after you try it!" Feng Lan suddenly waved the spear in his hand, bringing up a whirlwind and then stabbed towards Qianqi.
Qian Qi didn't use much force, he just struck casually with the Jade Chan Sword. He thought that Feng Lan's spear would be cut off immediately by his own sword, but what he didn't expect was that when the ice spear hit the Jade Chan Sword, , not only did it not disconnect, but it collided with the sword body, making a "clanging" sound that only occurs when metal collides.
He couldn't help but muttered: "Weird!"
"Hahaha, I didn't lie to you! This ice spear is definitely not made of ordinary ice. It is a weapon created by me controlling my own divine power and demonic nature to mix into one. It is the unique ability of the four gods of the Death God Demon. "I thought I wouldn't be able to summon it again so soon, but I didn't expect that fighting with you would increase my control over this body a lot. The feeling of awakening my power is really great!" Feng Lan spoke. Although there was still a smile on Shi's face, the aura around his body was obviously changing.
"This is the true power of the Four Divine Punishers! If he awakens further, we will be unable to resist! Listen to me, everyone should evacuate here first, and then consider the long term!" Ouyang Hongye shouted.
Although Ouyang Xiaoleng was still unwilling, he could actually understand that Ouyang Hongye's suggestion was correct. After a long battle, his and Ouyang Hongye's speed and strength were declining to varying degrees, but Yueqin was still as strong as ever. It was like that at the beginning of the battle, and even as her control over Xia Qiu's body improved, her attack power became stronger than before. If they continue to consume like this, they may soon be unable to withstand her and Feng Lan's offensive. On the other hand, Lao Yi was seriously injured and needed urgent treatment.
He finally nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, let's withdraw!"
"Want to leave?! It's not that easy!" Yue Qin said and jumped into the air. While her body continued to float upward, a guqin appeared out of thin air in her arms. She stroked the strings lightly, and the ancient sound sounded in the main hall.
This is the first time Ouyang Hongye has seen someone playing the piano in a hugging position, and he can play so naturally and smoothly. The quiet and distant voice echoed in the main hall, and suddenly all the excitement caused by the battle was washed away. I only felt that my mind was blank and my body was not obeying its orders.
Ouyang Hongye thought: Oh no, her hypnotic ability has probably been restored again.
But he couldn't open his mouth to remind everyone, so he could only let his body become completely numb, and the voices of Feng Lan and Yue Qin seemed to come from an extremely distant place.
"Brother Lan, they are weaker than I thought. I didn't expect them to be hypnotized by me again so easily."
"What do you want to do with them?"
"Well, I don't know! Just listen to Brother Lan!"
"Let me think about it..."
"Qingyun is calling us, asking us to get out of here quickly."
"Damn it, who does that guy think he is? He actually ordered us to do this and that for him."
"There is no other way. Only in this way can we continue to use this body, otherwise we will not be able to be with Brother Lan."
"Well... let's go then. This will give them an advantage. There will inevitably be another fierce battle the next time we meet."
"good!"
The sound produced by the Yueqin was originally that of Xia Qiu, and because he was in a hypnotic state, Ouyang Xiaoleng felt as if he was in a dream. But her voice drifted further and further away, and gradually disappeared. When he regained consciousness again, Feng Lan and Yue Qin had already left, and he and his companions were the only ones left in the main hall.
"Huh..." Ouyang Hongye, who regained consciousness almost at the same time as him, took a deep breath. He didn't expect that they could escape the disaster just now, and it seemed that Qingyun had summoned Feng Lan and Yue Qin away. In a sense, there must be something very important, otherwise it would be Qingyun's mistake not to take the opportunity to deal with them.
"Oh, that's so annoying! I still couldn't take Xia Qiu away!" Qian Qi, who collapsed on the ground after being hypnotized, said, slamming his fists on the ground.
"Lao Yi, how is your injury?" Although Ling Yu also felt disappointed, the matter was now at this point, and the moment Lao Yi was injured by Feng Lan was what should be most concerned about.
"The bones in the shoulder are broken. It doesn't matter. It will heal after a period of training!" Lao Yi endured the pain and responded pretending not to care.
"I brought healing medicine from the royal city, and I will apply it on Lao Yi after I leave the temple!" Ouyang Hongye said at the side.
"Thank you!" Lao Yi nodded and said gratefully.
"Now that you're here, why not take a look at what the Origin Sin Blood Pool looks like!" Ouyang Xiaoliang suddenly said from the side. He looked unexpectedly calm, which surprised everyone else.
"That's right. Lao Yi, can you still bear your injury? Otherwise, you guys just stay here?" Ouyang Hongye answered Ouyang Xiaoleng, then turned to Lao Yi and said.
"No problem, we'll just stay here and wait for you to come out!" Lao Yi felt that the injury on his shoulder was no longer as painful as before, so he responded to him.
The Origin Sin Blood Pool is located behind the main hall, connected by a long and narrow staircase going downwards. Countless dim lights on both sides of the staircase extend in a regular manner. Those lights seem to have souls and will follow the footsteps of people walking on the stairs. Swing back and forth.
After walking for a while, a fishy and salty smell hit my face, and along with that smell came the hostility and evil spirit that kept overflowing here. If you close your eyes, you can feel that the energy field has color, just like ink or the sky on a lunar eclipse night. The darkness seems to have the ability to swallow everything, which is chilling.
Two doors appeared at the end of the stairs. They were half-open facing outwards and inwards. A faint blue light came from inside the doors. Ouyang Xiaoleng was the first to push open the door and enter. What caught his eye was a spacious cave with many large and small stalactites hanging from the ceiling. The faint blue light was reflected by them. Under those stalactites is the round blood pool, which is filled with red blood. It does not look as scary as imagined, but the closer you get to it, the feeling of being swallowed by darkness becomes stronger.
"That's it! Was it just in this blood pool that Xia Qiu was subjected to the soul-changing technique?" Qian Qi walked up to Ouyang Xiaoleng and asked.
"Yeah." Ouyang Xiaoleng nodded in response. He didn't care to imagine that her body had just been thrown into a pool of blood exuding dark power, and was contaminated and corroded by it.
"Okay, now we have seen its true appearance. Let's get out of here now!" Ouyang Hongye said as he didn't want to stay in this evil environment anymore.
They walked back to the main hall along the stairs, where they met Lao Yi and the others, and then walked together towards the outside of the Earth Temple. Unknowingly, they had spent half the day in the temple. When they walked out of the Earth Temple, they realized that it was already afternoon. Xiaonan was waiting for them in the open space outside the temple with her companions. When she saw Ouyang Hongye and the others coming out, she stood up, shook her head and feathers on her body vigorously, and walked to him.
"Good guy, you have indeed grown up a lot!" Ouyang Hongye said while stroking the feathers on Xiaonan's head.
"But it's still so close to you, it hasn't changed at all!" Qian Qi also stepped forward and patted Xiaonan gently.
Ouyang Xiaoleng felt that his eyes were stung by the sunlight, but what actually hurt more was his heart. The place where Yue Qin hit her chest was still a little hot, but he also vaguely noticed that at that moment, she did not attack his vitals with a weapon, but simply gave him a slap. And her crying after that also revealed some problems. It seemed that in the body she occupied, a part of Xia Qiu still existed, and saved herself again at the critical moment. This thought became another force that supported him. No matter what, he would seize the opportunity to intercept Qingyun and the others in the other two Source Sin Blood Pools and rescue her.
After sending Xiao Nan and his companions away, they returned to the Orion tribe's camp, where they treated Lao Yi's shoulder injury. Although Lao Yi still didn't ask about their true identities, Ouyang Hongye decided to tell him the truth. Afterwards, they separated from Lao Yi and embarked on their way home to the royal city of Yongchuan together with Qian Qi and Ling Yu.
Regarding the new enemies, the Four Fallen Gods, Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others still have many questions that need to be answered. On the other hand, the unfathomable abilities of these four people also make them feel quite troubled. They can only place their hope in People like Ouyang Yong or Dong Muya can show them the way.
