Walking through the deep underground, Lorraine Hill suddenly felt the strange flow of the underground dragon veins. Countless tributaries began to intertwine with each other, and then converged in the direction of the shrine.
What is completely different from the past is that this time the aura in the dragon vein is particularly intense. Both the clear dragon vein power and the turbid Nine Netherworld Qi are intertwined and mixed with each other, and they spurt out toward the center.
Bad
The girl felt something bad in her heart. This situation was too special. Something unexpected must have happened outside. She walked faster, her body turned into an afterimage, the afterimage turned into a stream of light, the streamer turned into a ghost, and flashed away.
In the underground passage, it surged upward rapidly.
After a long time, a bright light suddenly came into view, and Lorraine Hill came to the valley floor again.
The valley at this moment has completely changed its appearance.
A large crater was made on the ground in the middle, as if it had been struck by a meteorite. A black-and-white metal alchemy furnace was leaning on the ground. Surrounded by a group of betrayed Zhaoye Palace disciples, they stayed near the alchemy furnace and confronted their own side. Beside them,
There were burnt corpses, black and red bloodstains, and broken bodies everywhere under his feet. It was extremely tragic.
But this is not the point. The crazy battle in the sky attracted the attention of countless people in the valley.
A mysterious black bird screamed fiercely at high altitude, its wings tore through the atmosphere, and fought with eight cloud snakes. And with the dragon vein air column rising from the shrine, the black bird became more and more courageous as it fought, and its body overflowed with energy.
Emitting thick, indestructible black smoke.
Looking at the black and red air column rising from the shrine, a bad suspicion emerged in Lorraine Hill's mind. She turned around and ran towards the shrine, her pace getting faster and faster, and her mind began to search for such a scene.
Where and why.
And when she walked into the white ocean, she saw the Yuchi clan who had stopped breathing one by one. She raised her head as if enlightened and looked at the shrine with swaying white flags.
This is...the art of blood sacrifice.
In ancient times, eastern tribes would sacrifice various rare livestock to attract the strange beasts with dragon veins. When tribes lacked such rare livestock and urgently needed the help of these strange beasts, they would sometimes use special blood sacrifices.
That is to use the blood and soul of the people to sacrifice to this strange spirit in the mountains.
Some intelligent alien beasts have lived with humans for a long time, and many of them have gradually formed a tacit understanding. If you give me blood food, I will mobilize the dragon veins to change the local climate, wind and rain.
Over time, the spirits of such strange beasts were also worshiped as the gods of Shanbo River, and even became anthropomorphized, and temples were built for them.
It's just that this era ended a thousand years ago, and the biggest pusher was the Black Phoenix Eunuch lineage. Their disciples cut down mountains and destroyed temples, conquered evil sacrifices, and wiped out blood sacrifices. The mountain ghosts they crucified
There are countless witches.
Unexpectedly, Grandma Gloria, a witch with an orthodox background, still knows the art of ancient shamanism.
Lorraine Hill sighed in his heart. Perhaps this was also the helplessness of the local tyrannical clan. They could not ask for help from the central government like the people of the dynasty. At this moment, they could only rely on themselves, even if they paid their lives for it.
The ritual of blood sacrifice was brutal and powerful. Countless members of the Youchi clan voluntarily died here, willingly turning into food for this strange bird, in order for it to protect the remaining clansmen in the mountains and allow their relatives to survive.
The blood in their bodies gradually mixed into the dragon veins and was absorbed by the black bird in the sky, while their souls continued to flow into the hall along with the ceremony.
At this moment, in the main hall of the shrine, there are ghosts and shadows, and the dancing clansmen in white are all pale and bloodless. Although their bodies are still turning, the aura in their eyes disappears one by one, and finally they seem to be on a thread.
Like a puppet, he moved his sleeves and continued the ritual dance.
There were lanterns hanging high above the head, and the sound of the collision of copper plates was endless. Lorraine Hill felt an extremely cold touch coming towards him.
The main hall, which seemed cold and strange to outsiders, seemed to her to be noisy at the moment, with wandering ghosts everywhere, many of them even surrounding her.
These ghosts are all members of the shaman clan who died during the ceremony. Although they have turned into ghosts, they are not vicious at the moment. Instead, they are swimming silently, obeying the guidance of the witch in the scene.
Although the black birds fighting against the Soaring Cloud Mist Snakes in the outside world are powerful, they can only be invincible for a while. If they cannot completely eliminate those Soaring Cloud Snakes, they will eventually become exhausted and exhausted sooner or later.
For this reason, Grandma Grotto had already prepared for the worst.
Countless ghosts turned into black and strange spells and clung to his body, spreading until finally, black patterns extended from his wrists, and his face was gradually wrapped in the strange patterns.
When Lorraine Hill hurriedly shuttled among the white-clothed people, the witch had already reached the last step, or in other words, she had no way out as soon as the ceremony began.
"You're here..." The last light in the witch's eyes looked at the arriving girl, and her eyes seemed to have let go of the last trace of worry and dissipated safely.
Lorraine Hill took a few steps forward and was about to touch the witch, but she disappeared like smoke and dispersed into the Dragon Vein Pillar above the shrine.
Immediately, a long and shrill cry came from the sky, the sound was like crying, but also like grief and anger.
Lorraine Hill stared blankly at the disappearing figure, feeling as if her heart was empty. Although she had only been with Granny Glo for half a year, this kind and gentle witch left a deep impression on her, as if she were an elder.
, occasionally teach her something, and also care about whether she encounters troubles or the like.
The girl who was filled with despair walked out of the shrine and looked at the sky.
The black exotic bird fluttered its wings high in the air, and its jet-black feathers began to burn with traces of white smoke. The smoke was extremely misty, leaving long trails in the sky.
Then the black bird will fold its wings, bury its head under its body, and shrink into a huge spherical shape.
It actually advanced on the spot!
The original body seemed to have turned into a black sun at this moment, curled up into a ball, with eight long cloud snakes entwining around it, and then swallowed it, but even if it was swallowed, it would only take away some black feathers, and it would be difficult to damage the root.
Although this black bird only has Necromancer Sequence 7, it has been practicing with the Gero Witch all year round. Unlike other monsters that rely on themselves to explore, its strength has almost no weaknesses, so it can still fight under the siege of these eight Soaring Cloud Serpents.
Come and go.
Seeing this scene, Master He Ling below had no choice but to activate the huge alchemy furnace behind him again, absorbing the ghosts and flesh and blood of the dead in the wilderness and valley, and continuously increasing the strength of these eight soaring cloud snakes.
Seeing these eight big snakes getting bigger and more ferocious step by step, everyone below could not help but feel their hearts in their throats, anxious and uneasy.
Many members of the clan continued to rush into the shrine, hoping that they could sacrifice themselves and strengthen the black bird. They really had no way out. But after entering, they found that there was only a lifeless scene inside.
A woman in white clothes stood blankly in the hall, her body stiff and not breathing.
In Lorraine Hill's perception, the black bird in the sky began to undergo earth-shattering changes. This was also the first time that after the change in the world, she saw an alien beast beginning to advance from Sequence 7 to Sequence 8.
The soul inside seemed to be shattered together with the extraordinary core, turning into a chaotic vortex of clouds and mist. Then, chaotic phantoms poured in from the void and entered the vortex of clouds and mist, thereby contaminating and confusing the creatures that were about to advance.
This kind of test is completely different from the previous advancements. Creatures in this state have almost no memory and can only act based on instinct. If they don't have great will and courage that goes deep into their bones, they will get lost in this chaos and never find it.
Return to your own memory, and finally dissipate into the world.
This is also the penultimate level for promotion after the new era, second only to the assessment of promotion sequence 9.
If you can still maintain your original intention in this situation and wake up from your confusion, you will no longer be afraid of the confusion of the phantom of chaos and can swim freely in it.
And this level is not so much a test of experience, but more of a test of one's heart. The more single the thoughts, the more determined the person is, the easier it is to pass. Compared with the beings with all kinds of greed, this black bird at this moment
, what is burning in my heart is only full of anger, and there is only one thought lingering in my consciousness, and that is revenge.
Click——
It was noon in the day, and a bolt of lightning struck the curled black bird. Its feathers were burnt black and scattered.
And just when everyone was worried, its contracted wings slowly opened.
The blazing black and red fire burned on itself, scorching and suffocating, and the approaching Soaring Cloud Snakes were immediately burned and fled in panic.
But at this moment, this black bird never let them go. Its ferocious and high-spirited eyes emerged from the flames, dark and blood-red. There seemed to be two pupils in them, looking towards the earth.

Just when Lorraine Hill raised his head to look at the terrifying strange bird that appeared, it flapped its wings and screamed, spreading its wings. Then its figure went straight into the sky, as if it was rising spontaneously.
And when it gets higher and higher, not only does its size not shrink, but it gets bigger and bigger, and with its wingspan, countless black smoke dragon auras rise from the earth and gather into the sky.
The sky was getting darker and heavier, and it was obviously noon, but it seemed as if it was approaching dusk. But it was still not over, and the black clouds in the sky kept appearing and superimposing as if there was no end.
In just half a minute, it seemed like a whole day had passed and arrived directly into the night. In the end, the sky for thousands of miles was covered by layers of dark clouds, and no sunlight could be seen. Countless creatures and demons ran in terror on the earth, trying to escape.
No matter how they ran, the dark clouds that poured into the sky were eventually completely swallowed up by the faint lights on the horizon, and the whole world became pitch black.
The dull sky seemed to be pressing down, covering the entire dusk mountains, bringing endless oppression and fear to people. Perhaps only then did the people on the earth understand how terrifying these strange beasts were in ancient times.
Damn——
The ghost-cart bird burning with black and red flames emerged from the clouds, with a wingspan of about three hundred meters. The mighty flames emerged on its feathers, burning and distorting the space, causing its figure to gradually blur in the sky.
And its gentle flight brings up layers of colorless airflow, forming a long and vast trajectory.
When the ghost chariot bird descended, the eight soaring cloud snakes circled up from the void again, and long snakes vomited in the air.
It's just that the ghost car at this time is no longer in the state of being unable to fight back.
Thick and long sharp claws stretched out like lightning, directly holding the head of an attacking snake. The tip of the sharp claw was deeply embedded in the snake head as if to crush it, while the other wing was chopped off neatly.
He cut a cloud snake into two pieces, and then pecked half of the head with its beak, then pecked it directly and swallowed it into its belly.
Looking at the terrifying ghost car bird in the sky, the real He Ling on the ground was extremely shocked.
"How...how...is it possible...how is this possible? Isn't this just a beast? How could it be possible to advance earlier than a human..."
He was mumbling to himself in a daze, unbelievable, as if all his power was leaving him, and the anxious inquiries of the disciples around him turned a deaf ear, as if everything in the world had lost all color.
But in the sky, the black ghost car tore apart the long cloud snakes, pecked them, and swallowed them into its belly. The flames on its body became more and more intense, like crazy.
