"Can't we just go in now?" Qi Leren asked.
"I'm afraid this is not an open semi-field." Ning Zhou judged based on experience.
The people of Qi Le recalled the situation during the secret killing meeting. Indeed, without Mrs. Catherine as his guide, he would not be able to get into the half-field of the killing secret meeting. It seems that he had to find Celia to find a way .
Qi Leren came out from behind the pillar, walked into the lake to check it out, Ning Zhou squatted down, and bowed to the lake. The plankton emitting blue fluorescence turned out not to be algae, but a jellyfish emitting a faint blue light. The jellyfish slipped away quickly when they sensed the abnormal fluctuations from the water surface.
Standing in front of the sloping palace, looking at the half of the palace engulfed by the lake and the vast underground lake farther away, the people of Qi Le suddenly felt a strange sense of trance, as if something in the void was staring at him . He couldn't see it, but he had already imagined it in his mind—a huge, watching, all-seeing eyeball.
Feeling something, Qi Leren took out a new item from the props column.
"Leviathan's eyeball, something I got from the last dungeon." Qi Leren handed the thing to Ning Zhou.
"Full of evil and chaotic power." Ning Zhou commented.
"In the last dungeon, this is a kind of cosmic alien called octopus, which continues to expand through parasitism, and can even destroy human civilization... Is there such a creature in the nightmare world?" Qi Le asked.
"Yes." Ning Zhou said, "Many."
What a terrifying world, Qi Leren thought, only to hear Ning Zhou continue: "Sometimes there are some wonderful connections between this world and the dungeon world, such as dungeons polluted by the power of demons. In addition, there are still dungeons in this world. There are some powerful evil creatures, such as demons and goblins, and there will be shadows of them in the dungeon world...or innuendo."
"You mean, the octopus I encountered is probably the projection of some kind of creature in the nightmare world?"
"Um."
The Qile picked up Leviathan's eyeball again, and raised it above his head to observe carefully. Although it has hardened, it does not have that horrible sticky soft touch, but when you look at it carefully, there is still a kind of creepy fear. But the strange thing is that when staring at it, that sense of fear turned into a kind of obsessive impulse, the more afraid, the more you want to get closer...
"Don't look carefully!" Ning Zhou's voice pierced Qi Leren's trance with a sword.
Qi Leren's hands shook, his eyes fell into the water, and he rolled along the sloping ground toward the bottom of the lake. Qi Leren stepped into the water to pick up the eyeballs, but suddenly, the eyeballs in the water emitted a faint blue light. The jellyfish in the lake seemed to feel the call of some mysterious power, and for a while the light was in full bloom, and the whole lake was shrouded in blue light and shadow.
Qi Leren had already picked up the eyeball and stuffed it into the props column. Ning Zhou took his hand, and the two of them were engulfed by the mysterious blue light and disappeared into this abandoned palace.
&&&
The magnificent underwater temple appeared in front of Qi Leren's eyes. He didn't bother to take a second look, and immediately turned to look at Ning Zhou. The two looked at each other, and he was relieved.
"What kind of place is this?" Qi Leren lowered his voice and asked.
In front of me is a temple that seems to be sinking at the bottom of the lake. It is obviously in the style of the Holy See, but the original white columns and sculptures have fallen over the years, stained with the dilapidated and decadent that belongs to the world, even because of the skull lamp placed on the steps. And the singing from the depths of the temple filled with a gloomy and evil atmosphere.
"The half-field of cult believers." Ning Zhou looked serious, and strode towards the Holy See in the lake in front of him.
Qi Leren hurriedly followed, looking around while walking. Although it looks like the bottom of a lake, there is no water. There seems to be an invisible transparent barrier above the head. The world outside the barrier is filled with a faint blue light, which may be the jellyfish in those lakes.
There are no cult believers guarding the hall, and they are confident that no one will enter here, but Qi Leren and Ning Zhou accidentally set foot in this area.
The chanting sound from the temple became more and more difficult to understand, and the rhythm became faster and faster. A strange fanatical atmosphere infected the believers inside. They began to shout an incomprehensible word, repeating, repeating, repeat…
It was also this word that allowed Ning Zhou to identify the group of people—fanatics of Utopia.
"Go in and have a look?" Qi Le asked with his mouth. Although it sounds like the fanatics inside are still gathering and haven't started massacring the sacrifices, if they start massacring, wouldn't many people die? The Qi Le people still want to save innocent people as much as possible.
Ning Zhou nodded, and walked in from behind the temple.
After entering the temple, the scene inside was really shocking. A mass of black people knelt down in front of a weird altar, singing loudly while kneeling, and a black mist was shrouded above the altar.
One by one, the ragged sacrifices stood up and walked towards the altar. When they stepped into the range of the black mist, tentacles full of fleshy tumors stretched out from the mist, dragging the quiet sacrifices into into the black. The sound of the body being torn apart was drowned in the frenzied chants, and the screams of the sacrifices were also swallowed by the thick fog, leaving only a deep pool of blood, like the blood of this festering land. dirty blood. .
The rest of the sacrifices turned a blind eye to this cruel scene. They were like a group of blind lambs, walking towards the precarious cliff under the guidance of the shepherd.
Seeing this scene, Qi Leren trembled coldly. What is the strange creature in the mist? The first thing that Qi Leren thought of was the second step of the main mission [Sacrifice of the Demon King]. Could it be that this group of cult believers believe in killing the Demon King? Are they performing cult sacrifices to revive and kill the demon king
Qi Le held the necklace given to him by the Prophet. This metal feather full of mechanical sense brought him great psychological comfort. Thinking about it carefully, an angel descending at the scene of a cult sacrifice sounds quite just. of.
Qi Leren poked Ning Zhou with his elbow, Ning Zhou put his finger to his lips, and pointed to a sacrifice who was walking towards the altar.
The sacrifice lowered his head and walked forward step by step. His stature was tall and his steps were steady. He passed through the kneeling believers all the way, like passing through a group of ants fighting for their territory. He turned a blind eye to their life and death. .
Something is wrong with this person.
Even the Qi Le people noticed this. As the distance between him and the altar got closer, that person no longer concealed his incompatibility. The believers guarding the ceremony around the altar stood up, shouting rushed to him.
The sacrifice tilted his head and smiled, and a gleaming silver Tang knife appeared in his hand. With one knife, he easily separated the heads of the two guards who rushed forward! The corpse bursting out of plasma was swept away by the monster in the black mist of the altar, and devoured it greedily.
This sudden incident plunged the entire ceremony scene into chaos. The believers in the front row rushed up brandishing their weapons. The believers in the back row didn't know what happened, so they dodged in panic and rushed into the line of sacrifices. The unclear sacrifices suddenly woke up from the state of being confused, screaming and running around, and the whole scene became a chaotic whirlpool.
"Go!" Ning Zhou also took out the sword of judgment and went up to protect the fleeing sacrifices.
Qi Leren hesitated for a moment, but did not activate [Prophet's Heart].
The chaotic situation did not affect the massacre of the mysterious sacrifice. He held a Tang knife and did not entangle the believers, because his attention was always focused on the unknown creatures in the black mist. With screams, he rushed to the altar!
The monster brewing in the black mist of the altar sensed the breath of this living person, and stretched out its ferocious tentacles from the black abyss. The tentacles covered with warts were slithering on the ground, and the sacrifice that rushed up excitedly used a sliding step to avoid its entanglement, but easily cut off the disgusting tentacles with a single knife.
The attack angered the monsters in the black mist. In the chaos, some strange, huge, and evil creature uttered a roar that seemed to come from the abyss. This terrifying sound was neither human nor human. It's a natural sound, it's more like a roar that brings together the evil forces in the world, eliciting the dark desire deep in the human heart!
The eyes of the believers started to become bloodshot, and they howled like wolves as they hugged their hair. The weak believers even burst out their eyeballs, and the empty eye sockets were continuously sprayed with blood. They wailed and crazily attacked all creatures around them. Whether it's believers like them, or innocent sacrifices. And their fallen corpses became an excellent delicacy for the monsters in the black mist, and were devoured by it one by one.
The entire altar in the lake is like a bloody hell on earth, where an indescribable power gathers, as if it is the source of all power in the world, and it can dominate everything!
In the void, an eye suddenly opened.
It was a scarlet eye, and it looked down maliciously on what was happening in the altar.
"Don't look up!" Ning Zhou's voice sounded in the distance.
But it was too late. He raised his head among a group of mad believers and looked at the Qi Le people with the scarlet eyes. Suddenly his mind went blank. He seemed to hear the chuckle of a woman. said:
"Come on, let the glory of the Utopia protect your poor soul, and you will no longer have to suffer in the world. In my country, you will enjoy eternal life with me."
