As Antinoya finished casting the spell, the originally extremely hard stone ground under his feet became like a swimming pool.
Immediately, the two mages fell directly into it, becoming like a stone, constantly flowing in the ground, and slowly sinking all the way deeper.
After more than ten minutes of this, Zhao Xu began to feel that the restraint on the soles of his feet was lifted, spreading all the way to his whole body.
The air, completely different from the smell of underground rocks, rushed towards me, accompanied by an extremely rich smell of demons.
Zhao Xu suddenly lost the pressure of the rocks above him, and his whole body was in a state of weightlessness. He immediately awakened his flying ability, slowly manipulated the floating power to restore his balance, and then landed on the ground one by one.
And Antinoya had already landed on the ground, and her seemingly delicate body stood upright, thoughtfully.
In front of them was an extremely empty area, with rock holes dug out all over the place.
It can be seen that the surrounding rock walls have not been repaired, they are simply carved out to create this space.
"It's also original enough." Zhao Xu said with emotion.
Just saying this, he cheered up and looked around with great vigilance.
Even Zhao Xu felt that the scene in front of him was much more dangerous than when he came out of the Palace of El Zhuo that night.
what is the reason
Tang De actually took a huge risk to dig such a place underground in the most important place in the Northern Alliance capital, and its purpose was self-evident.
Or rather, this place already existed before Tang De climbed to the top.
However, at the moment when the two landed, all this was unknown.
"Let's go and see what kind of trick the demon lord is playing. It seems that the plot is quite big." Antinoya commented, and Zhao Xu quickly followed.
"Tick tock."
"Tick tock."
Suddenly there was a mysterious sound of water drops in the distance.
Zhao Xu immediately turned his head and looked in the direction where the water depth came from, "Are there any stalactites or the like here?"
At this time, relying on the True Seeing Technique, his eyes penetrated the darkness in front of him and landed directly on an inverted triangular pyramid at the top of the mine. There was liquid seeping out of it, and it fell drop by drop.
Zhao Xu and his accomplices were once trapped in a cave. They brought dry food with them, but their kettle was broken on the road and leaked.
As a group of poor adventurers, they don't need to drink or eat after wearing it. They definitely don't have a transparent spindle iron stone worth 4,000 gold coins.
As for a 9,000 gold coin rare item like the Endless Water Source, it’s not like someone with too much money would go out of their way to buy it.
At that time, they relied on the dripping water that seeped out of the stones to quench their thirst. The water was even filtered through the stones invisibly, blocking large molecular impurities. It was cleaner than simply filtering through carbolic sand in the wild.
However, now Zhao Xu felt a little nauseous after seeing what was moving in front of him.
Because an extremely pungent smell of blood had blown into his nostrils along the wind.
"Do you know what this is?" Antinoya tested.
"Corpse Blood Jade Coffin." Zhao Xu recalled the preliminary layout of this demonic ritual.
"Use a special demon sacrifice ritual to kill innocent people. Adventurers are the best. The higher the level, the better the effect. Then bury them in the stone wall and wait for the blood in the corpse to seep out from the stone wall and drip down. Go to the ground and follow the blood spots to dig out a blood channel leading to the altar."
"This will eventually allow the remaining power of hatred from the corpse to return to the altar, enhancing the power of the altar."
After listening, Antinoya couldn't help but look back at Zhao Xu, "Have you done any research in this area before?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to retrieve this kind of knowledge in such detail just by relying on your knowledge and skills. Generally, only old priests who have studied religious knowledge for many years can have this kind of insight."
Zhao Xu also showed a smile at this time, with a bitter smile.
In the previous life, during the Demon-Sealing War, the entire earth's forces suffered a huge impact and made matters worse. These players in the Northern Alliance are also in a precarious situation.
At that time, Zhang Qi was on the battlefield and was abducted by a group of demons who suddenly came to support him.
Later, Feng Ge was also worried about Zhang Qi's whereabouts. Unfortunately, she was trapped on the battlefield of the Demon Sealing Battle, and then she died.
Finally, with her wish to retrieve Zhang Qi's body and bury it together, the old priest of the temple led a group of their classmates to find a mysterious mine. The last thing they saw was this kind of altar and ceremony.
By the time Zhao Xu and the others smashed against the stone wall, Zhang Qi's body had already been squeezed into shape by the stone wall.
At that time, Zhao Xu was extremely weak. He was burdened with the blood feud of his family and at the same time witnessed the tragic death of his close relatives and friends. He could only frantically hack at the altar to vent his anger, but nothing could be changed.
"Let's go."
Antinoya said that at this time, the palm-sized blood reservoir on the ground was full, and the slight slope allowed the blood to flow along the "one-finger-wide" blood trough.
"There are no demons."
Zhao Xu glanced across the front, feeling the movement around him, and at the same time listening carefully, his voice was chilling.
"Then do you know what the altar that usually requires this kind of ritual is used for?" Antinoya asked.
Zhao Xu shook his head slightly.
He could barely identify the old priest in his previous life, and he wasn't sure of its specific role.
"Summon the devil."
Suddenly, Zhao Xu's footsteps stopped for a while.
"Huh?" Antinoya seemed to feel something strange about Zhao Xu.
Summon the devil!
The Demon Sealing Battle!
In the previous life, after traveling for several years, countless demon armies from the abyss and demon armies from hell descended from the sky.
No one knows where these scum came from, but they spread ruthlessly into every town.
Some small towns were eaten alive by these purgatory creatures because they lacked garrison equipment. The originally bustling town turned directly into a mass grave.
The entire north of the Icefield Mountains was littered with corpses and became a hell on earth.
Most of Zhao Xu's classmates who entered the game at the early stage basically survived the turmoil at the beginning of the time travel, but in the end, 70% died in this demon sealing battle.
So in the end, when Zhao Xu found traces of the dragon again, there were few people left alive who could help him.
Otherwise, Zhang Qi and Feng Ge would definitely take the risk with him.
This is a kind of friendship that you don’t even need to ask after sharing the same adversity.
But now, here he actually found the "clue" that the Demon Sealing War would break out.
However, this place is the most critical for the entire Northern Alliance. Hundreds of government orders are issued every day to the central place of major cities and towns, the Grand Commandery Mansion!
"Teacher, how many demons can this kind of altar be transported to?"
There are two ways for demons to come to Arthur. One is summoned. If they die, it will only be their projection and will not affect the body. However, once the summoning time is up, the summoned body will disappear.
Another form is to take the "smuggling route" and teleport directly.
However, once the demon who does this dies, although it will not really die, it will suffer heavy losses.
Just like the hell demon that Zhao Xu once killed in the underground temple of death, it will go back to hell after death and start from the lowest level of devil.
At this time, Antinoya frowned slightly, showing a cute thinking expression, "Although I haven't seen the altar in front, but based on the concentration of the devil's aura here, I'm afraid this is not a portal."
"It simply summons demons. The strength is estimated to be close to the nine-ring spell 'Legion of the Abyss'. It will summon several timid demons, Babu demons and a level 9 Flo demon in turn, and these demons are all strengthened and full of life." version. At the same time, they can also summon demons, which can be considered a little snowball."
"Not teleportation?" Zhao Xu was surprised. The demon army brought by the Demon Sealing Battle in his previous life were real demons that would never disappear.
"Teleport?"
"That's not impossible. If they are carefully selected and attached to a ritual, then they can build a portal through killing."
"The blood and the soul of Arthur's creature are the best nourishment for this devil's unique portal ritual."
"That is to say." Zhao Xu suddenly said in a low voice, "The demons summoned by this altar are the raw materials for activation. As long as their killing scale is sufficient, they can open the portal, and then rely on the killings of the newly arrived demons to continue Maintain this portal?"
"This possibility does exist." Antinoya returned.
At this time, they also reached the end of the blood tank on the ground.
Ahead was an extremely hot mist with the smell of burning sulfur that spread across all directions, making it difficult to breathe.
At the same time, there seemed to be an exhaust vent of thick fog underground, causing the fog to form a huge wave that kept rolling and beating.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Immediately afterwards, a demonic cry came from the thick fog that scattered a strange red light.
Instantly, a breath of death swept through Zhao Xu's mind, making his whole heart tense.
The next second, he felt an extremely evil aura rising from behind the two of them.
A steaming Jiaoyan body with deformed devil horns appeared behind the two of them, and even its shadow directly covered Zhao Xu and Antinoya.
You won’t do a big move as soon as you come up, right
At this time, Zhao Xu was complaining in his heart, but a familiar voice immediately came to his ears.
This made him feel unbelievable from within.
It actually came in person!
"Welcome to Graz'zt's territory, Princess Antinoya."
