The Linax camp was filled with flames and smoke, and a large number of insects were pouring in. At this time, there were several dull and huge explosions, indicating that the explosives that had been planted outside were detonated.

The person in charge of the running ceremony felt a roar in his head and staggered a few steps. It took him a while to recover. He stumbled into a tent, his legs went weak, and he lay down in front of a statue of a god covered with cloth.

, after taking a few breaths, he got up, stepped forward and carefully picked up the statue, and then slowly walked out.

Although he was thin and the statue looked a little heavy, he refused to let others come to help him. He moved it by himself, stopping and walking for more than ten minutes before he reached the place where the ceremony was arranged and personally moved it.

The statue was placed in the center of the ceremony. After a few minor adjustments, a jar was brought over and placed in front.

He looked around. It was a cage-like structure strung together with metal wires and iron sheets. It just happened to surround the statue. This thing looked very simple, but it was placed according to certain rules. At this time, there was a burst of

Under the blowing of the air currents, there was a clanging sound.

At this time, Major Zephiro did not rush him anymore, and he had no time to worry about what was behind him, because more and more bugs were rushing in, and these were just the bugs at the front of the tide.

, this is already very difficult to deal with, and as the insect tide advances, the situation will only get worse.

Major Zephiro felt that this was not going to work, so he immediately detonated the explosives that he had planned to use later, and then asked two teams of giant guards carrying flamethrowers to rush out of the camp amidst the explosion, and went out to the trench, using

The flamethrower swept away the insects around and cut off the insect tide for a moment.

Taking this opportunity, he immediately poured oil into the insect swarm filling the ravine, lit it again, and at the same time accelerated the cleanup inside the camp. After such operations, the urgent situation was finally relieved.

But at the back, the thin person in charge didn't care. Instead, he walked up to the girl Serafina and whispered something. The girl walked up to the statue and knelt down.

The person in charge began to light the braziers on the surrounding ceremonial stakes according to the fixed ritual rules. The laborers around originally wanted to leave, but were left by the person in charge. They suddenly became very uneasy.

And when all the braziers were lit, the originally bright sky suddenly dimmed, and the sound of guns, roars, and flames all around seemed to disappear in an instant, which made them even more frightened.

The person in charge took a few steps back and looked at the statue in the center. Now that the ceremony had begun, he had no control over what would happen next. All he could do was wait.

And he was equally uneasy. This ritual borrowed some of the prayer rituals of the original people. Although it had been tried several times in China and proved to be feasible, it was only carried out in a hurry in the wild under the premise that all conditions were sufficient.

What will be the final result?

Major Zephiro took the time to look back and saw the brazier being lit. He thought to himself, has it finally begun? If they can succeed, then this time they will not be in vain.

The entire Linax delegation, including him, knew from the very beginning that it would be impossible to seize the relics on their own, and even if they did, they would not be able to transport them out.

Therefore, they need to have a decisive force that can not only ensure that they can seize the things, but also transport the things back.

And this ceremony is the key.

As the two worlds collided, they also came into contact with many existences in the opposite world. In addition to the hostile ones, there were also some that had long-term involvement or even cooperative relationships with their own world.

One of them is very unique. He can be used to place power, and this power can be transferred and delivered to a designated target within a certain period of time. Of course, most of it will be collected by this person, and only a very small part may be collected.

If you send it out, the absorbed power will naturally be the benefit you get.

Not only that, some things with abnormal power can also be temporarily entrusted and stored with the other party, and can be collected back at the right time. Of course, these also need to pay a price, and sometimes they cannot be taken back even after paying the price.

In addition to these, the failure rate of rituals is also very high.

But even so, they still decided to do it, because as long as they succeed, they can get much higher returns than this.

Previously, a dying fighter in the Linax Federation placed his spirit on this existence. As long as it communicated through rituals, part of its power would be transferred over and accepted by one of their carriers.

Although most of this power will definitely be taken away by that being, and only a small part may be left to them in the end, even so, it is the power of a fighter. As long as it can be used, it will be impossible to resist those under the limit. In this way

They might take things away.

At this time, the girl with twin tails suddenly opened her hands, and light overflowed from her eyes. The metal coils around the statue slowly lit up at this moment, and the metal pieces also shook violently, emitting more dense and intense light.

Crisp sound.

The transmission of power requires a fixed anchor point. It must be guided by someone who has been in contact with that existence and can withstand the concentration of its spiritual power. Without this process, even if you hold a ceremony, you will not be able to receive it.

anything.

And what this girl is playing at this moment is the role of an intermediary.

The ceremony continued, and more and more bugs were pouring in from the outside. The giant guards standing on the outermost layer began to be unable to hold on. The bugs clung to them one by one, but after a while they

Densely packed like insect-men.

As more bugs covered it, its body became heavier and heavier, and finally fell down as if it was crushed. A moment later, the flamethrower behind it exploded with a bang, and it was in place.

It exploded into a ball of fire that was almost endlessly burning.

And this situation is not just here, it occurs in many places.

Major Zephiro's expression was not very good. In just a short time, more than ten giant guards fell down in front. The total number brought out this time was only about thirty. It seemed that they could last for about ten minutes at most.

But at this moment, he could do nothing but wait, waiting for the ceremony to take effect.

A few more minutes passed, and the statue placed in the middle of the ceremony slowly underwent some kind of change. It was originally made of wood, but now it looked like it had flesh and blood. The statue was half-covered by the cloth.

Underneath, he could actually see a strange smile on his face, which made everyone who saw it feel like their hairs stood on end.

After waiting for a while, a strange muffled sound suddenly came from the body of the statue. Everyone stared with wide eyes. Suddenly, the statue opened its mouth, and then spit out a large amount of fluorescent light from it as if it was vomiting.

The greenish-yellow liquid filled up the whole can in a short while, and some of it overflowed along the rim of the cup.

In an instant, a nauseating smell came out, and at the same time, everyone present heard a strange rustling sound. These sounds actually came from inside their bodies, as if there were countless people there at the moment.

Something was crawling inside, which was very uncomfortable.

However, with the appearance of these fluorescent liquids, the surroundings suddenly became silent. Everyone was stunned for a while before they realized that those bugs did not penetrate into the camp anymore.

Major Zephiro was refreshed. He quickly walked outside and took a look. He saw that the camp seemed to be standing on a reef in the sea, and all the insects were bypassing it. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then came to the person in charge.

In front of the person, he asked: "Did it succeed?"

The person in charge shook his head, "I don't know." Then he quickly said, "You have to find someone to drink the 'sacred water' to confirm."

Major Zephiro waved his hand, and soldiers immediately dragged up a shackled prisoner. This was a scout from the old imperial family they had captured while advancing. He was a qualified fighter in his own right.

It took some effort to gain it, and it was just right to try it out.

The soldiers pulled his head back, then pried open his teeth, forcing his mouth to open wide.

The person in charge took a spoon, scooped up a handful of the liquid, and poured it into his mouth. After waiting for a while, the scout suddenly twitched and made an uh-uh-uh sound from his throat.

It also became extremely hot, and the soldiers on both sides immediately let him go.

The scout suddenly grabbed his throat, fell to the ground, and then began to roll. In just a moment, steam came out from all over his body, and his body seemed to be dissolving rapidly, and he screamed repressedly for several minutes.

Afterwards, it turned into a puddle of shapeless gelatinous object.

Major Zephiro frowned and asked, "How is it?"

The person in charge sighed and said, "It failed." He smiled bitterly and said, "Our preparation time was still too short."

Major Zephiro cursed secretly. If the ceremony failed once, it would be impossible to hold it again. Those powers are destined to be swallowed up by that existence.

But no matter what, those bugs stopped coming into the camp. This was one of the purposes of his request to hold the ceremony, because even if it failed, he could use the power of the existence on the opposite side to temporarily deter the bugs and save the camp.

He looked around, exhaled and said, "Then let's do this for now."

Now we can only try to wait for the insect quicksand to pass before we can inquire about the news from Major General Serbil.

He turned around and left here without looking back.

But he didn't notice that just after he left, the girl with two ponytails who was kneeling there with her back turned had a strange look on her face. This look was very similar to the smile on the statue just now.
