Chapter 273 The Sacrifice of Eternal Life, Secret Mission!

The two of them listened intently in the room. The movement outside seemed to reach the top of the stairs, and then they heard the sound of going downstairs.

The footsteps were heavy, as if they were carrying something heavy.

"They seem to have gone down."

Shen Xi immediately said: "Let's go out and have a look."

The two of them went out immediately.

It was very dark inside the inn, and the two of them could still vaguely hear the sounds from downstairs. They waited until the sounds disappeared before following them downstairs.

…

Underneath the inn.

A middle-aged woman dressed as a proprietress held a candle and lit the candlestick on the wall.

The candlestick made of skulls lit up with green firelight, illuminating the stairs extending downward in front of me.

The woman walked in front, followed by two strong men, each dragging an unconscious businessman from other places, all the way down, and finally came to a dark door.

The two men threw the businessman into the door and lit candles separately.

The scene in front of me suddenly became brighter. Looking inside, I saw a spacious cellar with many skeletons piled up in it. There was also a circular stone platform in the center. In the middle of the stone platform was a finely carved bone dagger. The dagger is surrounded by strange grooves, which are bent and complicated like branches, radiating in all directions.

There are several ancient skeletons inlaid around the stone platform, and the end of the groove just leads into the mouths of these skeletons.

The woman pulled out her dagger and asked two men to strip a businessman naked and place him on a stone platform like a pig. She hummed an unknown song, as if carving a piece of art, and worked the process with ease. He was put in shackles and chains, and his mouth was gagged with a piece of cloth.

Amidst the singing, the blood on the stone platform seemed to come to life.

The woman took the bone dagger and gently opened the man's chest, exposing his heart.

Boom! Boom!

It was as if one could hear the man's heartbeat in the silent and dark cellar.

Immediately afterwards, the woman slowly pushed the bone dagger into the man's heart until it penetrated the entire heart!

The man suddenly woke up, as if he was about to sit up from the stone platform.

The chains and shackles shook, holding it tightly!

The man's face became pale and distorted. Due to the severe pain, large beads of sweat oozed from his forehead and face. The miserable green flames in the cellar danced, making this scene even more bizarre and terrifying.

Then, a bright green flame ignited on the stone platform.

Surrounded by the shopkeeper and the waiters in the inn, with strange and evil smiles on their faces, they stared at the man's blood flowing out from under his body, winding along the grooves of the stone platform, and finally flowing into the skulls. In the mouth.

The man was shaking all over, as if he was struggling violently.

At the same time, little bits of green fire appeared in the eyes of the skeletons around the stone platform. The green fire spread with the blood and ignited the man.

The man's trembling seemed to have weakened, his eyes were distracted, and the pain on his face gradually disappeared, slowly turning into an intoxicated expression. In such an atmosphere, he looked even more inexplicably weird.

The evil smile on the woman's face became even stronger: "It seems that you adults like this sacrifice very much."

A young man behind the woman showed a greedy and anxious look: "I've been doing it a lot recently, doesn't it matter? There is a rumor in the city, and it seems that they are already investigating."

"Idiot!" the woman covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, "There are many ladies and gentlemen in the city who want the elixir. I heard that the sacrifices offered by the gentlemen in the city are much better than ours. It has been so long. Well, who really found anything?"

A few people didn't realize that there were two pairs of eyes outside, and they were shocked to see this scene.

Shen Xi and Ye Ning saw a faint blue text appear in the corner of their eyes at the same time.

[Start the mission: The Sacrifice of Eternal Life

There seems to be a group of people who long for immortality hidden in this city. You can try to find their traces]

Ye Ning covered her mouth and tried hard not to make any sound.

There really is a mission! But this mission looks weird. As a warrior who took pills to improve herself, she has never encountered anything like this.

She had no choice but to look at Shen Xi beside her for help.

Shen Xi's face also turned slightly pale, not because of fear, but because of anger.

She was dressed in green clothes without any wind, her black hair was flying, and an extremely powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire cellar. The aura was like running water, and pressed down like a millstone.

Everyone in the cellar was startled, and at the same time they were immobilized by this terrifying aura.

Then he saw a green sword shadow flashing past like running water.

The two strong men fell to the ground in an instant, and the sword, as green as autumn water, was placed on the woman's neck.

"Who are you?" Shen Xi asked coldly.

When the woman encountered such an unexpected incident, she was shocked at first, but then the smile on her face became even stronger.

She giggled, and Shen Xi vaguely felt something was wrong.

"Sister Shen, behind!"

Shen Xi immediately turned his head and suddenly saw the two strong men who had been killed by his sword rising from the ground silently, and the two headless corpses were rushing straight towards him!

Qiu Shui Ru Lian, Shen Xi instantly cut open the two headless corpses, but at such a distracted moment, he suddenly smelled a strange fragrance coming to his nose.

It was poisonous! She realized something was wrong and hurriedly evacuated from the cellar!

Only then did she see the woman looking at her with a smile: "Sister, how does it feel to be drugged?"

Shen Xi's complexion changed slightly, and she felt a strange medicinal power spread rapidly in her body, immediately making her feel like she was powerless.

Shen Xi took an antidote without hesitation.

But soon, her face became darker.

The woman smiled and said: "It's useless. This is a drug that my family spent a lot of money to buy from the church. It's called 'Younwenxiang'. Even the alchemy of the Eight Scenery Realm can't cure it, but I didn't expect to use your medicine." On the body."

The woman licked her lips, feeling excited. She didn't expect that the drug she prepared for the two sisters would actually come in handy!

She looked at Shen Xi: "The slave family can't wait to dig out your heart. You adults will definitely like it, hehehehe."

Shen Xi's face was as dark as frost. It was unexpected that such a high-level poison was in the opponent's hands, but she was not panicked. As the gang energy circulated, the scabbard of the ancient sword behind her lit up with a brilliant light, and the two green stars inlaid on the scabbard The white gem then lit up, and the bright light lit up the pattern on the entire scabbard, and a ray of light flowed into Shen Xi's body.

As Shen Xi moved at this time, white afterglow appeared, but was not affected by the poison.

She held a sword in her hand, and the cyan blade left patches of white residual light in the dark underground, instantly piercing the opponent's heart!

The woman's expression turned into astonishment, then turned into ferociousness. She looked at her chest, then stared at Shen Xi in front of her, and murmured some inexplicable words quickly as if cursing.

The sword in Shen Xi's hand was twisted on the opponent's chest, and a large amount of blood flowed out from the opponent's chest. The opponent's eyes gradually became distracted, but the opponent's mouth still uttered certain syllables unconsciously, as if he was irreversibly summoning something.

At the same time, the heads of several corpses on the ground also turned around inexplicably, staring in the direction of Shen Xi, and let out a burst of evil laughter.

Shen Xi felt frightened. She pulled out the sword, and the woman fell down like a punctured sack.

At this time, Shen Xi's legs felt a little weak again, and she staggered back a few steps, holding on to the door frame before she could stand.

"Sister Shen!" Ye Ning hurriedly stepped forward, "Are you okay?"

"Let's go." Shen Xi turned around and saw that the body of the woman on the ground was shaking inexplicably, as if she would resurrect from the dead at any time.

Shen Xi took out an elixir bottle from her arms and threw it towards the woman. Then a thunder and fire exploded, blowing the woman's body into pieces.

But the woman's head also spat out the last syllable!

The woman's face turned to Shen Xi, her mouth opened and closed, and a strange smile appeared on her face, like a curse.

A terrifying violent wind then swept through the entire cellar.

The woman's head was pulled by a force and hung in the center of the altar.

The blood scattered on the ground seemed to be controlled by some unknown force. They all converged towards the central magic circle. A strong wind surged in the cellar. On the altar, all the broken corpses on the ground were pulled to the altar by an unknown force. Above.

Things like this make people's scalp numb.

Shen Xi and Ye Ning had just walked to the door when they felt a huge suction force that made them unsteady, as if they would be thrown upside down in the next moment.

Shen Xi instantly inserted the blade of the sword into the ground and pressed it against his body.

Ye Ning exclaimed and clung to the door frame.

The two of them felt inexplicably frightened. They really didn't expect that there was such a horror hidden under this small inn!

While the two were struggling, they suddenly saw the unconscious businessman on the ground who had not yet been sent to the altar. He was instantly drawn into the air above the altar. His head and broken bones penetrated into the body of the unconscious businessman, and blood followed. Flow out and connect them to each other. These heads, arms, and legs are stuck together randomly, and together with countless skeletons in the cellar, they fly over the altar, surrounding it like a fortress!

What's even more terrifying is that they seem to have turned into a cocoon of bones, gestating something.

"Ning Ning." Shen Xi's heart trembled slightly and she shouted loudly, "Do you still have the Silence Pill?"

"Yes!" Ye Ning immediately threw a white pill bottle.

A huge flash of lightning exploded.

Boom boom boom!

The explosion triggered terrifying air waves that swept out in all directions! The shells of those skeletons were instantly blown to pieces!
