Chapter 12 Sacrificial Objects
Xiao Xuan couldn't help but stroke the dark golden ring, feeling the cold chill that came from the ring. Then, he felt a strange touch on the ring, as if something was engraved on it. Xiao Xuan subconsciously looked there and found that there were really words engraved there. These are words in Latin, meaning the soul.
"Soul...soul ring?"
Xiao Xuan murmured to himself, saying that he had given the name of the ring, but according to the markings on it, the name should be the translation.
There must be a huge secret hidden in this soul ring, but Xiao Xuan knew that he had no time to dig carefully at this time. At least he had to pass this mission world first. Then he could have a comfortable environment in the main god space to study it carefully. Therefore, Xiao Xuan began to wave his arms and swing his legs again, intending to leave the blood pool first to continue looking for an exit.
However, halfway through the swim, Xiao Xuan suddenly stopped his movements, which made Su Muran and Sarah, who were standing on the shore, both of whom Xiao Xuan's sudden trembling body had already made them feel very worried. Is something wrong now?
"I'm..." Xiao Xuan slowly closed his eyes with uncertainty and started swimming again. Then, he opened his eyes again. Sure enough, there was no mistake in his direction and position. The feeling of closing his eyes and opening his eyes is actually the same. Even the perspectives found by closing his eyes are more delicate, comprehensive and detailed than the perspectives that he observes with his eyes open and with his eyes.
Xiao Xuan tried again. He began to rotate his body in the blood pool with his eyes closed, but he could still sense the positions of Su Muran and Sarah. When he opened his eyes again, he found that it was true. Su Muran and Sarah's positions were the same as when he closed his eyes.
"Is this...the ability to detect people's emotions?" Xiao Xuan said in disbelief. Then, his eyes turned to the soul ring again. He knew that the ability he suddenly had was the effect of wearing this soul ring. Perhaps, it might not be that simple. Xiao Xuan remembered that the mutant ogre could even control people's emotions, and its ability obviously also came from this soul ring, the ability that ogres could control. Xiao Xuan believed that he could do it, and this soul ring really brought him too many surprises.
Xiao Xuan closed his eyes again at this time, and he began to try to see how far he could use this so-called mental power to detect. At the same time, he continued to swim up the edge of the blood pool.
Below the dirty blood, there were thick white bones, and white bones were piled up, like a hill. This was the scene below the blood pool. Of course, all this was naturally the situation obtained by Xiao Xuan through the spiritual power of the soul ring. When Xiao Xuan continued to explore, he was stunned because he "saw" an old altar surrounded by the bones. There were several steps on the altar, and at the top was a stone tablet, which seemed to be enshrined in the center of the stone tablet.
Is this what the side mission calls...the ogre's sacrificial object?
Xiao Xuan forcibly suppressed the urge to dive directly, but swam back to the edge of the blood pool. When Sarah and Su Muran saw Xiao Xuan reaching the shore, they gathered together in Xiao Xuan's direction. The two women worked together to pull Xiao Xuan out of the bloody face.
Without the thick blood constraints on his body, Xiao Xuan only felt a sense of relief on his body. His body was lying on the rock wall, and a sense of fatigue came. However, Xiao Xuan forced his head to dispel these fatigues. He could not rest at this time, and he could not drag under this ground for too long.
However, Xiao Xuan decided to complete the side mission first and then find a way out from the ground. After all, in the mission world, completing the main mission is a necessary condition for survival. However, completing as many side missions as possible and digging out hidden tasks is the key to quickly accumulating reward points and plot levels. It is also a necessary way to strengthen and improve yourself as soon as possible to make your strength stronger. Since you have discovered the existence point of the sacrificial object in front of you, how could you give up with Xiao Xuan's personality?
The space ring flashed, and some clean edible water and some simple wild survival medicine appeared in Xiao Xuan's hand. Su Muran was quite calm about this scene. After all, she knew Xiao Xuan's identity and he was a veteran. Naturally, she must have obtained something that was incredible to ordinary people from the main god.
Xiao Xuan wore a space ring on his left hand and a soul ring on his right ring finger. It was not very eye-catching. These days, there are many people who want to wear all ten fingers on their rings.
"Xuan, are you a magician? How did these things come about?"
Sarah was extremely surprised by the sudden appearance, but Xiao Xuan did not want to satisfy Sarah's curiosity at this time. She first cleaned her wounds with mineral water, and then took some anti-inflammatory medicine casually. She was too lazy to bandage the wounds on her shoulders, because he had to put the blood pool again in the future, so there was no need to waste that skill. Then, she stood up and walked back to the edge of the blood pool.
"Xuan, what are you doing?"
"There is an extremely important thing under the blood pool. I want to take it out." Xiao Xuan turned his head and said to Su Muran: "You go down with me, and you may need your help at that time."
Whether it is physical or psychological quality, Su Muran is excellent. With Su Muran's help in the blood pool, he will be more confident of taking out the ogre's sacrificial object. Of course, the main reason is that Xiao Xuan is injured and mentally exhausted. Some things will inevitably be powerless if he does it again.
Su Muran nodded and stood beside Xiao Xuan. She had already acted as if she had entered the blood pool with Xiao Xuan later. She didn't ask so many whys like Sarah, because she knew that this man did things and she didn't need to ask why.
"Xuan..." Sarah came over and grabbed Xiao Xuan's arm, as if she was planning to persuade Xiao Xuan not to venture into the Blood Pool again.
"As you please stay here with peace of mind and don't move without permission like you did just now. Do you understand? I will come up immediately after I get the things, and you can take good care of yourself first."
Xiao Xuan pushed Sarah's hand away, then walked straight into the blood pool again. Su Muran followed closely behind. Sarah stood by the blood pool and watched the two people gradually heading towards the middle of the blood pool, and bit her lips helplessly.
The depth of the blood surface gradually increased, and Xiao Xuan and Su Muran began to swim. At this time, Xiao Xuan spoke to Su Muran beside him, "I can see clearly the situation under the blood pool, so you don't have to go down with me. Just wait on the blood surface. When I grab your legs below, you sneak into the blood surface and pull me up. I'm afraid that I will lose strength when I come out."
"I understand, you have to be careful." Su Muran nodded and signaled that he understood.
Xiao Xuan closed his eyes, pierced deeply, and sneaked into the blood pool. The blood pool was full of blood, very thick and denser than water, so the resistance was also great. If you want to swim and sneak in it, you have to put in extra effort. Now Xiao Xuan just gritted his teeth and persevered.
Soon, Xiao Xuan sneaked into the bottom of the blood pool. The deepest part of the blood pool was only four or five meters, not very deep. Because Xiao Xuan could use the spiritual exploration ability granted by the soul ring, he could see through the scene below the blood pool without opening his eyes. He kept grabbing the bones under the blood pool with both hands, and was getting closer and closer to the altar.
At this moment, among a pile of black "water plants", a corpse suddenly floated out. The corpse was not a bone, she was very "fresh" because she was Ru Nuo, the dead Ru Nuo.
What Xiao Xuan noticed was that Ru Nuo was not drowned, but was shot to death. There were several obvious bullet holes on her body. Here, the ones with guns were herself and Su Muran. So, who shot Ru Nuo, the answer was already very obvious.
As for why Su Muran killed Ru Nuo with a gun, Xiao Xuan could guess it, because one of Ru Nuo's legs was entangled by those black "water plants". It was probably that she and Su Muran fell into the blood pool together. During the two of them floating up together, Ru Nuo, whose legs were entangled, grabbed Su Muran, hoping that Su Muran would help her get rid of the "water plants". But at this time, it is naturally the critical moment for each to hurry up and save her life. How could Su Muran joke about his life here to save someone who has nothing to do with him?
Moreover, in this blood, nothing can be seen, and it is almost impossible to do anything. Su Muran didn't know what happened to Ru Nuo, but Ru Nuo kept holding herself and did not make her unable to float up to the end. They could only be drowned in this blood pool together. In this situation, Su Muran had to shoot at Ru Nuo.
