Chapter 227 Sacrifice the gods with gods
The roar of the plane passed high in the sky, and four parachutes fell quietly under the cover of darkness.
Skydiving with limited visibility is dangerous, but that's for ordinary people.
Even if Lu Mingfei sat down on the stone cone, the stone would only crack.
Mictlan is a trapezoidal island, and the Great Temple is in the center of the trapezoid.
The place where they landed was probably at the waist of the trapezoid. According to the visual distance on the plane, it took about five minutes.
Although it is the headquarters of a hybrid organization, the island seems unusually quiet.
There are no searchlights shining everywhere, and no guards patrolling everywhere. There are only the shadows of trees blown by the wind, as if this is really just an uninhabited island.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
Lu Mingfei silently gestured to stay alert.
Everyone nodded, and just as they were about to move forward quietly, a high-pitched dragon roar broke the silence on the island.
There is a situation!
Juan said that the temple's top leaders gathered on Mictlan for a big event.
Now it seems that this big thing is already happening.
"Full speed ahead."
Lu Mingfei shouted in a low voice.
"yes!"
Chu Zihang and Akina Sakai launched violent attacks at the same time, while Eriki Uesugi entered the keel state.
Originally, they were faster than track and field athletes, and after bursting out, their speed was as fast as a galloping horse.
Lu Mingfei took the lead and broke through the wind for them. It only took one minute to break through to the temple.
The large pyramid-shaped temple stands tall and majestic, with one step at a time leading directly to the top of the tower. It is visually estimated that there are at least more than 200 steps and 60 meters high.
The entire temple is made of volcanic stones of different sizes, and each stone is carved with colorful patterns.
It’s hard to imagine how much manpower and material resources it took to build such a large temple on such a small island far away from the volcanoes.
Or perhaps, this wonder itself was not built by manpower.
When they arrived in front of the big temple, they finally saw other people.
Warriors wearing various colorful cloths and iron armor stood guard around the pyramid.
Senior warriors wearing clothes made of tiger or other wild animal skins stood on the steps.
The taller the warrior stands, the more gorgeous the feathers on his head are and the richer the accessories he wears.
If there are scholars who study Indian civilization here, they will recognize that the costumes of these high-level warriors are the Aztec Jaguar Warriors and Eagle Warriors.
These ancient military nobles had long been destroyed along with the empire, but they have reappeared in the modern world.
"Mahmurut!"
An eagle warrior stood on a high place and saw the members of the team running towards him, and shouted in an ancient language.
Although no one helped translate it, it probably meant an intruder.
The other warriors also saw this scene and immediately became excited.
Today is a great day for the gods to return to the human world. If you can sacrifice the hearts of these invaders, you will definitely receive divine blessings.
Although all the warriors were ready to move, no one rushed over immediately.
Because Aztec wars were ritualistic, only battles that complied with the procedures would be blessed by the gods, and the victors would be rewarded.
Otherwise, the victor will not only receive no reward, but may even be punished.
And these warriors who can guard the great temple are undoubtedly the most devout believers.
"Comers, inform us of your names and identities, and engage in sacred war under the gaze of the gods."
The eagle warrior who first discovered the enemy shouted loudly towards Lu Mingfei and the others.
When an Aztec warrior captured four captives and sacrificed them, he would receive the title of Jaguar or Eagle Warrior and become a servant of the Sun God.
And because the eagle is the symbol of the Aztecs, the status of the eagle warrior is higher than that of the jaguar warrior.
The eagle warrior who shouted was the one with the highest status among all the guards. According to convention, he should start and determine the course of the war.
If it were normal times, Lu Mingfei might respect their sense of ritual. This is a tacit understanding between soldiers.
But now the alien in the temple doesn't know what evil deeds he is doing, so he naturally won't waste time paying attention to the culture of the Eagle Warrior.
Seeing that his question received no response, the Eagle Warrior curled his lips.
"Savage foreigner."
He said disdainfully, and then pointed the obsidian stick in his hand forward.
"Matakuga!"
Although the opponent is not a noble warrior, Xiao Xiao's blood can fertilize the soil of the temple.
The Aztec warriors made all kinds of strange noises and rushed toward the team like a herd of beasts in the jungle.
The animal skins on their bodies shimmered, and the roars of the beasts floated in the wind. It seemed that it was not just decoration.
"To defeat the enemy quickly, kill the enemy to the end!"
Lu Mingfei also shouted a war cry and used himself as a solid wall to crash into the herd of beasts descending the mountain.
"An outsider is coming."
One of the priests moved his ears.
The releaser of the Word Spirit Kamitachi forms a large domain with himself as the center, and establishes complex sound channels within the domain to master the small sounds within the domain.
The higher the bloodline of the releaser, the wider the scope of the domain and the more sounds that can be heard.
Legend has it that when the ancient dragon releases this speaking spirit, he can hear the whispers of humans in the nine heavens.
Of course, the bloodline of the temple priests is not that high, but you can still hear the cries of death on the ground.
"Then speed up."
The high priest nodded.
The ritual of activating the solar calendar stone is only halfway through, but since there are intruders, there is nothing we can do but activate it directly.
When things are urgent, follow the authority, I believe the gods will understand.
"Goddess Toki, please give your life."
The high priest raised his hands towards the dragon.
The giant dragon named Toki lowered his head, with neither sadness nor joy in his huge golden eyes.
It raised its upper body slightly, exposing its vital chest.
The God of War priest walked up to it, bowed respectfully three times, and then pulled out the obsidian sword from his waist.
The alchemy field was activated by a spell, and the black crystals were filled with red light, as if the blood of those who had been sacrificed for thousands of years was flowing.
The Ares Priest shouted an ancient poem and inserted the obsidian knife into the dragon's chest.
The dragon scales were pierced, the dragon bones were cut open, and the dragon's heart, which was larger than a human, was exposed in front of the priests.
The Ares Priest cut off the thick blood vessels without hesitation and pulled the dragon's heart out of the dragon's chest.
On the verge of death, the giant dragon known as the god showed no roar or compassion, only an almost inaudible sigh.
Only the priest who turned on the Word Spirit Kamamita heard her voice clearly, and two lines of tears could not help but flow from his eyes.
The Ares priest grabbed his heart and pressed it on the center of the solar calendar stone.
The sun god pattern is like a desert traveler who has been hungry for thousands of years, frantically absorbing the flesh and blood of the dragon.
It turns out that the solar calendar stone is not only an alchemical item, but also contains a powerful living spirit.
When the living creature finally had enough to eat and drink, the originally powerful dragon heart turned into gray residue.
The four suns of the solar calendar stone all became dim, while the fifth sun in the middle bloomed with dazzling light.
"Open the avenue of death and lead us to the place where the gods sleep."
The high priest shouted the final incantation.
The solar calendar stone emitted a particularly dazzling light, illuminating the entire underground temple.
The next second, darkness returned to the underground temple, and both the priest and the dragon disappeared.
When Lu Mingfei broke into the underground temple, all he saw was a big stone and a pool of blood on the ground.
