However, the crisis did not come.
The brass door shaped like a lung lobe opens inwards, and inside is the main hall of the huge stone temple. A large number of dragon lung poisoners are sitting cross-legged on cushions with their hands folded in front of their chests, clasped in a circle.
In addition to those with dragon lung poisoning, there are some patients who have not transformed into dragons. Their lungs are either suspended in the hollow chest or hung outside the body, and they all maintain a cross-legged posture.
William could tell at a glance that this group of people seemed to be practicing something; their breathing was light but regular.
The most important point is that more than 70% of those who sit on the cushions to practice are silver circle patients, and the number is nearly one hundred. Such a force is quite terrifying in the old world.
With the arrival of William and his four companions, and the words of the Lord,
These people stopped meditating and practicing, and turned to look at the four people at the door.
At the same time, an ancient crutch slowly emerged from the depths of the hall.
But only the crutch was seen, and no legs walked out... A withered arm covered with corpse spots was holding the end of the crutch, and a purple cloak covered the body hanging in the air.
Without legs,
The arm was only connected to a pair of lungs emitting purple smoke and the head of an old man connected to the trachea. There was a dragon scale structure on the cheek.
If you observe carefully, you will find that this old man is like a band conductor, and his breathing affects the breathing of everyone present.
When this person appeared, Lorian, who had been playing the role of a blind patient, slowly opened his eyes and stared at this strange being with his full moon eyes.
There was no scent of pathogens coming from the other person, so it was impossible to assess the patient's rank, but the breath exhaled by the old man made Lorian feel a different kind of threat.
Nash also tilted his head. He had killed many strong men before, including some unreasonable Silver Circle patients.
He only needed to observe to get the other party's basic information, but he couldn't see anything about the old man in front of him whose body was not even perfect. It seemed that the methods used for the patient were ineffective.
Dentist Jessica took a step back instinctively. The bacteriophage in her mouth felt a sense of oppression, as if the mysterious old man in front of her could threaten her body.
Among those present, only William could assess the old man's identity, but he did not say it directly.
Instead, choose to confirm with another consciousness within the body.
"Yi Chen, this is!"
"You are right, William... He is a so-called god, or a person who has obtained "godhood". However, what is in front of you is just an incarnation for his descent."
But~ it's much more powerful than the Buddha Mother you and Catherine dealt with.
This person should be a true God, and a true God who specializes in internal organs. It's just that this incarnation is really shabby and so broken. I don't know if it was beaten into this state, or if it was forcibly weakened in order to come to your world.
in addition,
The danger is not here. This guy doesn't seem to want to kill you. The real danger is in the center of this city. Try to communicate with this old guy first. Maybe you can get something out of it. 』
William spoke directly, "Senior, we have no intention of offending you. The tuberculosis bacteria you transformed are indeed peculiar, but they are not suitable for us, so we reject them.
But we ourselves are very interested in this place. One thing we can be sure of along the way is that you are not from our world, and what you are doing here does not look like an invasion, but more like screening something.
Theoretically, only individuals who are infected with a special bacillus that induces lung changes and can withstand the purple river water are qualified to come to your lung temple for advanced training.
Your ultimate goal seems to be to select and cultivate a truly strong person to assist you in killing some kind of existence in the center of the city
The entire independent space, the entire city should have been moved here by you to suppress and block it, right?"
“Smart, but your speculation is superficial.
The fact that you were able to sneak here without telling anyone is enough to show how capable you are.
That's right, as long as I can kill the 'thing' in the center of the city, I will have completed my mission, and my assistants will receive a hefty reward, including the real lungs you may have heard of and some other things.
But as far as the current progress is concerned, there is still a long way to go. After all, this is just a low-level world in the outer plane. Even if it is infected by the plague, the potential of the lower creatures should not be improved much.
Among the four of you, two are transformed from native humans, and the other two are purely pathological individuals. Your appearance has raised my expectations for this inferior world, but it is still low.
Since you are here, please learn the breathing method with me. I hope you can grow faster and reach my standards sooner."
William scratched his head and said, "Well, although we also want to learn, time is limited.
We don't plan to waste too much time here on this trip, can you take us to the center of the city to take a look, maybe we can help you solve it directly."
William's words made the old man angry, "Sitting in a well and looking down on the world... Do you really think that you can solve things that are beyond your status by hiding them from outsiders?"
William said nonchalantly, "We really have limited time. How about this, Senior, you test us. If it really doesn't work, we won't bother you here and leave immediately, how about that?"
"All right."
In an instant, the atmosphere changed, and a deadly and dangerous breath came out of the old man's lungs.
Except for Lorian, who was standing at the back with his hands bound, all the others were ready.
Nash's arms drooped in front of him, like a zombie.
Dentist Jessica untied her mask, loosened the thin thread at the corner of her mouth, and stared at the old man.
However, William gently stroked the ring from the "Seventh Marquis" in his hand and looked at his teammates behind him, "You guys move aside, it's more intuitive to test alone."
Then he turned his head again and said, "Senior, is it okay for me to take the test alone?"
Unexpectedly, it was the old man's actions that responded to William.
The old man in the purple hood took a very special breath, which seemed to be a targeted inhalation.
Click! As the tooth falls, the mouth closes.
Plop! William's eyes instantly became bloodshot, he knelt on the ground, and covered his throat with both hands.
In an instant, all the oxygen in his body, even the oxygen in his blood, was sucked away. An ordinary person would have died on the spot.
The old man looked at William's pathetic appearance and commented, "Humans from the lower planes cannot escape from their basic biological structure, and this is the fate. You don't even know the most basic breathing method, and I can easily take away your life source. If you can't even breathe, what can you use to fight
Let me teach you a lesson, young man."
The old man just inhaled, and now he exhaled the air he had inhaled.
Huh~ A blade that was invisible to the naked eye and extremely fast chopped off William's head.
"Boss!"
Nash couldn't help it and wanted to step forward to stop it.
boom!
A loud noise echoed in the stone temple.
Nash's body was kicked hard and flew out, rolling down the cliff to the bottom of the mountain.
The old man standing in the hall looked surprised, even surprised... because Nash was not knocked out by him.
William stood up. "I'm so sorry, old senior. Nash is my most loyal deputy and he instinctively wanted to save me. This kick should wake him up and stop disturbing your test on me... Your breathing method is really amazing. It sealed my life in one go.
But as long as I don’t breathe, that’s all.”
William, whose face was pale due to the dead man's makeup and whose eyes were dripping with black tears, retracted his right foot that had kicked sideways, restored his body that was cut in half, and walked into the hall while twisting his head.
Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly raised his cane to signal to stop.
"You can actually reach this level. It's really not easy to kill you at this level of death... Don't waste your energy here. I admit that I underestimated you.
Then satisfy your curiosity and take you to see something truly terrifying.
This old man's broken body is also due to that thing,
Also, I want to remind you that even if you are this dead, you will still be killed by that thing."
"Old Senior, please lead the way."
