Chapter 663 Devil Temple
His fingers touched the cracks on the stone pillars, and he could crush the patterns on it with a little force. Perhaps because of the settlement position of the mechanism close to the entrance, the weathering here is very serious. The structure inside the entrance can no longer see the original appearance. Only a few load-bearing pillars are still standing tenaciously, and the patterns on it are completely blurred. Kelot originally wanted to see if there are any records such as ancient characters. After reviewing and research over the years, in terms of ancient characters, if he is thick-skinned, he can actually call himself an expert.
Xiliu was imitating Kelot and stretched out his claws and scratched the pillars. It didn't care whether it would destroy the cultural relics or not. It just felt that it had a special pleasure to sharpen the claws. Coincidentally, Kelot was about to follow August and others' footsteps, and unexpectedly found that in the falling lime of Xiliu, it emitted a faint light under the illumination of the crystal rod in his hand.
The energy flowed, the lime was slowly peeled off, and the crystals of the size of the tail fingernail appeared and were pinched in the hand. The edges were not as smooth as the surface, and the surface was rough. I don’t know if it was because the energy was exhausted or it was broken by Xiliu just now.
"David, go!"
There was a beam of white light coming back in front of me. Leklin's voice was not available for lighting under this sand, so he had to rely on his own equipment to illuminate.
After pinching the broken crystal stone in his palm and following it, walking inside, and really touching the ruins, Kelot discovered that the place was not simple. When he came out from the entrance of the settlement platform, he first walked into a passage. It was not as narrow as the underground ruins imagined. Instead, it was spacious enough to accommodate nearly eight people walking side by side. Kelot walked in the middle and took advantage of the lights of the people in front of him, and also noticed that the statues existed on both sides of the passage. It was reasonable to appear in the ruins, usually in human form, a kind of worshipped beast or monster shape, but most of the statues here were sheep-headed human figures and snake-headed human figures.
"August, is this a demon's ruin? Do you understand what I mean... The spirit-removing master actually chose to seal the demon here?"
Before Kylot spoke, Bazaar expressed his doubts. The devil ruins they saw now, in the era when the dark age was not coming, were likely to be sacrificial temples dedicated to demons, like churches controlled by the Sun Mai Sect!
"About this, the content of the mission briefing I received was just to follow the team of the Holy Grail Warriors to find this seal, release the demons in it and sign a contract with him. These details are not important. Keep going. Since the spirit-destroying masters in the dark age dare to seal the demons in such a place, they must have their own considerations."
There was no clear explanation. August was the captain of this operation, and he naturally had the greatest voice. Everyone quickly calmed down again. Kellot, who was standing behind, was also recalling the content of his chat with Constantine. He clearly remembered that when Constantine was free, he would tell him some of the demon seal incidents recorded in his books, and vaguely mentioned the choice of sealing.
In the late dark age, due to the retreat of the giant crowd, the pressure from the outside world was greatly alleviated, and humans began to turn their attention to internal chaos. The professions who took action eliminated or sealed the demons under the leadership of the spirit master. Only some demons in special areas or with special abilities were left to solve. These guys abandoned the contract soul method commonly used by ordinary demons, and instead took the method of establishing sects to gain a foothold among humans, and developed believers in the end of the doomsday disaster. Some guys who did outstandingly in this regard even occupied an area and became gods who were truly worshipped.
It is unrealistic to simply send a team of spirit deprived masters to encircle and suppress them. Their men often have a large number of crazy believers. They go through with great fanfare. Not to mention who surrounds who is not sure. Even if the team of spirit deprived masters is strong enough, they are not afraid of these humans surrounding them and forcibly killing the demons. The result of doing so is definitely not what they want to see.
Because the demon's crazy believers will definitely give their own victory to protect the gods in their minds. In the end, the demon died, and the people in this area were almost dead...
Therefore, when facing this kind of demon, the spirit masters will conduct targeted infiltration demon seals, directly sealing the demons where they exist and forge the illusion of the demons who accumulate power by sleeping.
There are several benefits to doing this: First, the devil's crazy believers will not have any doubts about the information sent by the devil. When they learn that the god they worship has fallen into sleep and ask for protection, these people will 100% stop all the work in their hands and do their first place, which will prevent the spread of the cult.
Second, if you lose the support of the demon's power, those who are favored by the demons and those who are less bewitched by the demons will undoubtedly choose to leave. The influence of the cult will continue to decrease and eventually become a controllable organization.
Third, except for the spirit masters who sealed the seal, they considered that there would be a very likely evil forces to attack these demons in the future, sealing alone would be difficult to provide enough protection. After thinking about it, they would simply borrow the power of these crazy believers to protect the sealed demons. In order to prevent their god from being invaded by the outside world, these people will do all their strength to resist any external power!
Thinking of this, Kelot quickly realized that the temple might not be as calm as it seemed. He took a sip of Qingshen juice to cheer up and asked Xiliu to hold the lighting crystal stick, walking behind alone to load the judgment and judgment, but there was no intention of reminding the people in front of him.
"Stop, there is a fork in front of you."
As a possible sacrificial temple, the internal structure will naturally not be despicable. When the passage enters, the passage on both sides will be immediately divided into two sides. There is no wall in the middle, but a stone slab extending out.
"From the traces on the ground, Luce and the others should have passed by here."
The traces of a group of people passing by are easy to identify. Under the light, there are a lot of sand scattered on the ground. When you open it and position it, it shows red dots in front of everyone. It should be where the aisle passed.
"There is no choice. The aisles on both sides lead to the same place, but what is in the middle..."
The aisles on both sides do not lead in two directions. They only play a role in ensuring the beauty of the building and the divergence of the crowd. Kellot cares more about the middle of the building. He takes out a lighting crystal rod from the space scroll, presses it and throws it down. When it comes, there is no need to worry about whether the people from Luce will be discovered.
As the light of the crystal rod spreads and falls until it lands, Kelot estimated that it should be about ten meters high. Currently, some iron chains and some columns of the iron cage can be seen within the range of the lighting crystal rod. It can be confirmed that there should be a lot of things below the location where Kelot and others are currently located.
Bypassing the corridor, several people were worried about missing important information, so they divided it into two sides. As it turned out, Kylot's words were correct. Two groups of people finally gathered at the other end of the corridor. What appeared in front of them was a gate that was nearly three meters high and more than five meters wide.
"This place is definitely not simple. In that era, it was definitely not an ordinary force to lay the floor with this level of stone. Look, are there some blurry colors on the surface of the bricks and stones? This should be a beautiful picture decades ago. This place, at least in the room in front of us, must have stored something very important at that time, and... it seems that this is the middle and upper floor of the building. If it is a temple, the middle and upper floor are ordinary sacrificial lands, there should be statues of worshipped gods. Look at this gate, there are few gems inlaid on it, and there are also reliefs on these doors... The wailing martyrs, miserable skeletons, and the horns of male goats. This is a typical demonic style, in..."
Martin seemed to have some insights into this, and he stroked the relief on the door with his hands, full of satisfaction and obsession.
"Whoever has time to listen to you nonsense here? If you want to know what is inside, just go in and read it. Get out of the way!"
Lecolin didn't have the patience to listen to Martin's mysterious words, pushed him open, pressed his hands on the door, and suddenly increased his strength.
The door opened, and a sour smell came to my face. Fortunately, Kylot was prepared for it. As soon as he smelled this smell, he lit a herb cigar for himself, and took two steps back, hoping to wait until the smell inside dissipated before entering.
But the others didn't want to wait, and walked in with the stinky smell. Everyone heard Martin's words before. The ground is very important in the ruins, and no one can guarantee whether some good things will be stored in it. Although everyone is an unpaid task this time, no one wants to give up this opportunity to make extra money.
Kelot was the last one to enter the door. The people who entered in the front unexpectedly did not search everywhere. Instead, they stopped at the door and went up to take a look. Kelot's movements also stopped unconsciously.
Martin was not wrong. This room was indeed a temple sacrificial place. In the center of the room, there was a statue more than five meters high. The upper body of the stone sculpture was hidden in the darkness, and the lower body was two thick beast thighs, spread across both sides, and the clothes on the legs were similar to robes.
This is not a reason for everyone to stop. No one is interested in the thighs of the demon statue. Well, Martin may be an exception, but everyone's eyes are actually focused on what the statue holds in the hands hanging beside him. The statue's right hand extends outward, and a dark necklace is hanging around it. There is also a not-so-conspicuous ring on the index and middle fingers. As for his left hand, he is placed beside him, holding a dark golden sword, with the tip of the sword and embedded in the stone mount, but just hanging there.
treasure!
No one present is new to the career path. This statue is very likely to be the sermon incarnation of the demon. How could the things that can be placed on this statue be ordinary? They each swept them with their own mental power. These things are magical equipment!
How to divide the three treasures, six people here? Will it cause other people to get them rashly? Will it arouse the disgust of others and besieged? As the strongest man in the team, what if he wants to take them alone? Watch it?
The atmosphere became stiff and awkward for a moment. After all, they had no emotional foundation. To put it bluntly, it was not uncommon to stab the knife in the back at a critical moment. What is most afraid of in this loose alliance is to show heart-warming wealth before the goal is achieved.
"Don't think about it. Whoever dares to touch the things on the statue will kill me! Lus's team is ahead of us. There must be a reason why they didn't touch the things here. No one is allowed to think about it. The first goal is to complete the task!"
August's meaning is very clear. If these things start to compete for, it is impossible for the people present to fail to suffer any casualties. It is also a strange phenomenon that Luce and others did not touch these treasures. There are so many tricks in the cult temple. If you rashly take it out, no one can pay the responsibility. You might as well lose everyone's mind!
"You look at the signals on the locator, they overlap with our position!"
"Their location is below us, and there must be a downward passage in this place. Complete the task first and then discuss the ownership of these treasures!"
Bazaar seemed not very interested in the treasure. When observing the locator, Martin made a judgment based on his own experience. Speaking of this, it would be a bit ignorant to think about the treasure.
Kylot's eyes turned around on Bazaar and Martin, then moved to Baid, who had not spoken, and continued to remain silent.
The passage to the lower level is not difficult to find. It is the former place of sacrifice and not a secret room. The passage was built without any intention of hiding. Just next to the stairs inside the room, there is a spiral stone staircase. Judging from the footprints above, someone has indeed walked by it for a while.
"Snap the pace and find Luce and others first."
As the speed was increased, the group went down the stairs, turned two turns, and reached a new level, but the stone stairs were still going down.
"There should be several layers, and the footprints have not stopped here, and they are still going down, keep walking!"
I walked downward for nearly a hundred steps and finally reached the bottom of the stone stairs. What I saw in front of me was... an empty stone chamber.
"What's going on? There's nothing, and the footprints are gone until the last step!"
Martin tried to use footprints to confirm where Luce and others were going, but his eyes left the last step and looked forward, but the floor of the stone chamber in front was still covered with dust.
"They hide their traces?"
"It's impossible. If there are hidden places, don't leave footprints when going downstairs, just take them to the last floor before starting to hide? Are you so full that you're overwhelmed?"
"Look at it, see where they are."
"Vanished!"
I don’t know when the red dot on the locator has disappeared!
“What should I do now?”
"Look for so many people, it is impossible for the world to evaporate! Spread out the perception!"
