After taking a look at the three life rings in front of him, Shade took another look at his surroundings.
The position where the lift platform fell was in the middle of a mine pit, like a tunnel that had been abandoned for many years, extending to both sides with no end in sight.
The ground is littered with corpses, stones, mining picks, glass slag and a series of other messy things. At regular intervals, there will be thick wooden pillars in the center of the mine tunnel to hold against the top of the tunnel to prevent the place from completely collapsing.
The temperature and gloominess in the mine are more terrifying than the deserted villages on the ground. The undead wandering around have almost reached the level that ordinary people can see with the naked eye. But those who are attracted by the fights between the [Truth Society] ring warlocks
The evil spirits still will not attack Shade and the girl in black skirt, and will even actively surround them.
Those evil spirits are not even pure spirits. When the ring magicians of the [Truth Society] eliminate them, the remains of bones and flesh and blood will actually fall out from the fragments of the soul.
Because the black mist in the mine was thicker, Shade also tried to inhale the extremely thin black mist filtered by the red butterfly, and learned that this black mist has the functions of undead curse, flesh and blood mutation, and soul distortion.
This mountain village did not originate from the Sikal Mountains, nor was it even a village in the mainland in the Fifth Age. However, in this era, it is incomparably consistent with the disaster in Miba City at this time. If the relics get out of control, what will happen if the relics are out of control?
The evil spirits in the deserted village have escaped, and the church's sealing ceremony may have to be postponed for a long time.
"Professor, do these disgusting things really have research value? We still have samples of undead natural disasters from the fifth era. Aren't those samples much more valuable than these rotten meats?"
The young apprentice carried the middle-aged woman on his back, with the high-level warlock at the front, while the middle-level warlock collected the flesh and blood residue left behind after the twisted evil spirits disappeared.
"The undead natural disaster of the fifth era?"
Shade heard a new term again.
"Everything is moving forward. If you blindly indulge in the glory of the past era, then what truth is there to seek?"
If this group of people could be more normal in their pursuit of the truth, they might really be able to bring progress to human civilization.
The ring wizards of the [Truth Society] were in front, holding a dilapidated map that seemed to be found in the village, and kept going deep into the mine. They should have completely explored the village and solved most of the puzzles.
Shade and the girl in black skirt followed behind under the protection of the red butterflies. Of course, the two were not just walking. The latter told Shade other stories about this mountain village, but she refused.
Talk about what is underneath the gold mine, which is the source of the black mist.
It's not that I don't know, it's that I can't tell Xia De.
The girl in the black skirt also admitted that she wanted to enter this village not just because of her academic report. It was also because she needed a sacrifice deep in the mine to bring back her long-awaited relatives.
The area of the underground mine is much larger than the ground, and it is even excavated like a maze. [Time Perception] has discovered that the flow of time is abnormal, so that there is a significant difference between the somatosensory time and the normal time in the material world.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Sikar Mountain time, the group finally arrived at the deepest part of the gold mine. At the end of the mine was a bottomless irregular cave leading to the ground. The thick black mist came from
Coming out from below.
The three members of the [Truth Society] were already exhausted at this time. The undead souls approaching this cave were all the souls of children who had been sacrificed. Because they were overly infected with the power of these black mists, even if they faced one of the evil spirits,
Xia De couldn't guarantee that he would have the upper hand.
"right here."
"Professor" lowered his voice at the end of the dim mine tunnel. He was breathing heavily, and the collar of his neat black formal jacket had already been torn open:
"This is the core of the relic. After it gets out of control, we use the narrow room to return to the city. This trip is really not easy. Next time, don't let us do this again."
As he spoke, he threw the skull lantern in his hand towards the bottomless hole in front of him, and the abyss itself seemed to be responding to his actions. Thick black mist poured out, followed by a slight vibration on the ground.
.
But it is a pity that the skull lantern that can dispel the black fog did not fall into the abyss. The red butterflies flew by, and their wings shed dots of red light traces downwards. Those red butterflies wrapped the pale skull lantern and held it
Brought away from the sky above the abyss cave.
After passing over the heads of the [Truth Society] group, the red butterflies came to Shade and the girl in the black dress.
"who are you?"
It was only now that the three of them were surprised to notice that there were actually two people following behind them.
Shade glanced at the girl next to him and saw that she had no intention of speaking, so he explained:
"It's like this. We came to this village to do some folklore research, and we didn't expect to meet you by chance."
More and more red butterflies were flying around the two of them, turning the gold mine tunnel into a bright red. Shade, who was protected by the red butterflies, felt that this scene was very gorgeous, and the three people from the [Truth Society] noticed
It is indeed life-threatening.
"The whisper of the red butterfly, this is."
Mr. Johnson, the high-level warlock, widened his eyes slightly and stepped back:
"Let's go!"
A sudden thick fog enveloped them, but the white mist failed to allow them to enter the narrow room.
"Space stabilizing halo!"
The Central Warlock has already used this trick to escape once, and this time Shade learned his lesson:
"The woman you knocked unconscious was one of the four nails resurrected from the narrow room?"
He asked. Seeing that the three of them were just looking at this nervously without answering, he turned to the girl in black skirt next to him and said:
"I might not be able to beat them."
"Sir, you have to have some confidence in yourself."
The cloth wrapped around the [Night Watch] was removed, and the bright yellow rune [Unintentional Clarity, Sword Kills Demons] on the silver sword was glowing. Dozens of red butterflies flew from behind and stuck to the sword.
Let this long sword that fights against evil have a trace of scarlet.
Shade felt the power.
Holding the sword in both hands, he stepped forward, swung the sword forward and slashed forward. The red sword marks were slashed out with great force. As they flew out, they left deep carvings at the top and bottom of the mine tunnel.
"Get out of the way!"
Professor Johnson pushed his two companions hard, and he went up to meet him. Unless he jumped into the bottomless abyss behind, there was no hiding place in the narrow passage. He squatted slightly, with the Miracle Spirit Rune [Iron] behind him.
Wall] [Shield], Profanity Spirit Rune [Strong], Enlightenment Spirit Rune [Castle] flashing aura at the same time.
A tall tower shield like a door panel appeared in his hand. After slamming it to the ground, the scarlet sword mark made by Shade also came to him.
Shade didn't even see the whole process. The thaumaturgy performed by the high-level warlock completely collapsed. In the escaping spiritual light, Professor Johnson's skin turned into a brass metal color, and the core spiritual rune [Iron Man] behind it was performing an unknown
Thaumaturgy. His body collided with the sword mark, knocking him to the ground.
Click~
A clear cracking sound came from the life ring, and the core spiritual rune [Iron Man] actually had cracks. When the high-level warlock got up again, the skin returned to its original color, but the mouth, nose, eyes and ears were all intact.
bleed.
"So strong?"
Shade looked at the sword in his hand in surprise.
"How despicable, actually using the power of relics!"
The panting Professor Johnson said, and Shade immediately frowned:
"Don't you have the power of relics? Besides, there are three of you and we are two."
"Are you really two 'people'?"
He cursed in Kasenric language without caring about the image, and reached out to grab the two companions who were behind him:
"Even if I die, I won't let a despicable person like you live. Look at my sublimation."
Shade swung his sword forward again, and when the scarlet sword mark was slashed, he wanted to rush forward, but the girl in black skirt behind him held him back:
"careful!"
Without any words of sublimation, Professor Johnson took out a dark seal with a sharp angle on top from his arms and quickly pressed it on his two companions. While the two companions stared in surprise, the relic had taken effect.
Got:
"Suicide bomb!"
There was a loud bang, and the shock wave of the explosion almost knocked Shade to the ground. The explosion in such a small space scattered countless dust and stones above his head, and Shade almost thought that this place was going to be there.
Was buried.
This was not a simple explosion, but the use of unknown relics to completely explode the bodies and souls of the two ring warlocks. It was more brutal than the corpse explosion technique. Even with the red butterfly protecting him in front, Shade was still aware of this "
The power of the bomb.
Fortunately, this is the interior of the relic, and the terrain is not easily changed. After the smoke and dust from the explosion dissipated, the red butterflies illuminated the surroundings, and all three members of the [Truth Society] disappeared. Two of them were blown into pieces, and even
No ashes were left, but the high-level warlock "Professor Johnson" escaped alone.
"To call us despicable, isn't he even more despicable? The sage-level relic [Devil Bomb Seal], I didn't expect it to be in the hands of the Truth Society."
The girl in the black skirt explained in a low voice, then frowned and looked at the intact woman lying on the ground. She was in the center of the explosion, but intact.
"If you run away, just run away. I don't believe that nothing will happen to him if he is in the center of the explosion."
Shade patted the dirt from his hair, and then looked at the intact middle-aged village woman:
"The ancients said that only death can fight against death. The nails that revive from the narrow space must use the power of death to send them away again."
He summoned the [Chains of Sin], wrapped the unconscious woman around like a mummy, and carried her behind his back. As for the [God's Gift Box], he could only carry it in his hands.
"Sir, the troublesome person has finally disappeared."
Seeing that Shade had finished doing this, the girl in black skirt said with a smile, and then pointed to the abyss in front of her:
"Let's keep telling our story.
The Red Butterfly Twins, who discovered the village's tradition of offering sacrifices, went all the way to the deepest part of the mountain village just like us. But even they could not completely solve the problem here, so they could only seal the village. No existence can escape from it.
Leaving here is the same even for a living person who accidentally entered it. Therefore, the woman you are carrying should have died after accidentally entering here and was later resurrected by the narrow room. "
"So how do we leave?"
"It's very simple. This is the source of all disasters, but it is also the only way to leave. Sir, do you have the courage to jump down with me?"
She stood next to the bottomless cave, turned around, surrounded by red butterflies, and extended her right hand to Shade.
