Chapter 1008: Urgent March!
"There's probably nothing to see here."
Hilmanya took a few thousand steps, lightly touched the blood splattered on the wall with her white index finger, and took a closer look.
"Although the body has not had time to disappear, judging from the blood stains, it happened at least half an hour ago. The reborn demon Selson has already gone away."
Hearing her say this, everyone sighed in unison.
"Let's go inside and take a look."
Because I am very interested in the forgotten sacred object, I suggested this. Maybe suddenly we will have the halo of the protagonist, and the sacred object hidden here will appear and recognize its owner. Doesn't such good things often happen in knight novels?
"Why, are you not interested in that holy object or something and don't want to go in and take a look?"
Seeing Jeluka turning her head and sighing, I couldn't help but ask.
"Personally, I think that instead of having any expectations for such an ethereal thing, His Highness, it is better to follow the male instinct and put your expectations on guessing what color underwear I am wearing today."
"Don't insult male instincts casually."
I landed the knife on her forehead. Did she hold it in for too long? Hilmanya just moved away and immediately exploded.
"By the way, no matter what color you guess, it's the wrong answer."
The unscrupulous maid made an exaggerated appearance like shedding tears, holding her head and wailing, and she did not forget to continue to sell her dirty jokes.
"..."
Forget it, I have even cooled down my expectations for holy objects now.
A group of three people were walking in the secret underground temple passage. It was really littered with corpses. From time to time, you could see a pile of corpses chopped into pieces and dripping with blood. That guy, Reborn Demon Selson, really did it. It's a good thing that no chicken or dog is left behind.
Oh, it's a potion!
In the spirit of thrift, I quickly bent down and picked up a bottle of powerful life potion at my feet. It was like I suddenly picked up a hundred yuan on the roadside, and immediately put it into my arms, feeling very proud of myself.
Things you pick up for free just make people happy.
Hilmanya: "..." (Of course... of course I don't see the benefit, saving is also a good thing, right? Yes, that's it! Even if it's not like this, it has to be like this!!)
Jeluka: "..." (Pretend not to recognize this idiot for now)
Along the way, I was busy picking things up here and there. Although the reborn demon Selson is also an extremely stingy guy, as you can tell by looking at how he completely plundered the dark gold treasure chest, but after killing so many monsters, It was impossible for it to carefully pick up the dropped objects one by one, and the monsters did not have time to refresh and recycle these discarded objects. As a result, I was advantaged.
As a result, at the last count, there were several pieces of blue and white equipment, more than ten gems, and some potions, which was a small gain.
"This should be the end."
Finally, we came to a hall the size of half a football field. Eight splendid stone pillars with four people hugging each other stood on both sides, perfectly setting off a huge stone sculpture in the center.
The stone carving is very delicate. It is a human woman, wearing a simple monk's robe, sitting on her knees with a peaceful expression. Her eyes are as if they are real, and a kind and holy look can be seen from them. Her eyes are slightly downward, It was facing the position where she was clasping her hands.
Not an angel?
I was surprised that the statue was a human woman and not an angel. Logically speaking, a large church like the Zakarum Church should believe in God...that is, the angel family. Otherwise, ahem, You know.
"Zakaram is indeed right to believe in God. Look carefully at the stone pillar."
Seemingly sensing my doubts, Jeluka spoke up.
I looked at the stone pillars on both sides. Yes, the reliefs carved on them were still the same Vatican-style pictures of angels saving the world. At the top of the stone pillars, there was the one surrounded by countless angels, holding a sword high, and with the sun, moon and stars on his forehead. The idiot who is so stupid is God.
Well, I do believe in God taking goods. After seeing the reliefs on the stone pillars, I was extremely sure.
but why……
"This statue should be carved from the Virgin of Zakarum Church."
"Holy..."
I turned around and asked subconsciously, only to utter a simple syllable and quickly closed my mouth.
Because I saw that the eyes of Huang Duanzi's maid began to flicker vaguely again. Those eyes were looking at me, as if to say, you should ask quickly, you should ask quickly! !
No, if you really ask, then what awaits you will be an explanation that may last for days and nights. If you shake your head and refuse at that time, then you may not even be able to eat the raw mushrooms. It will be an explanation no matter what. torture.
"By the way, what is she holding in her arms? Is it the so-called holy object?"
Wu's Thirty-Six Special Skills: Star-shifting Technique!
Jeluka, who knew that I was changing the subject but had no choice but to do anything about it, curled her mouth angrily.
"have no idea!!"
However, after a pause, as if unwilling to end the topic, he added: "Even if there is a sacred object, how can it be placed in the upper level of ancient Kurast? Idiot."
"Maybe, the more impossible the place, the more likely it is." I pretended to be serious, and my sharp eyes seemed to see through everything.
"It would be terrible if the Pope of Zakarum had the same IQ as His Highness."
"..."
This guy really said something outrageous, although it is true.
Thinking about it, if you calculated that location, you would have put something good. It would have been taken away by the adventuring party who first found it, so why would it be your turn to come and pick it up thousands of years later?
After confirming that there was nothing to take advantage of, we left the Lost Relic Temple.
After a while of rushing, about three or four hours later, under the leadership of Jeluka, we arrived at the entrance of the Lost Temple.
The entrance switch of the Lost Temple is relatively easy to open. The switch is also a candlestick, and the entrance is also on the altar steps. Are all Zakarum a bunch of idiots?
After finding out that the reborn demon Selson was not inside, we went down to take a look without any hope, but we were almost killed by a sword from the flesh hunter who was squatting at the door.
Fortunately, after listening to Jeluka's words, I kept the moon wolf transformation state and ducked in time to avoid this wretched sword. Otherwise, if this sword slashed down, I would have broken off many hairs on my wolf tail.
I was still planning to wait for the enemy, but I didn't expect that I was almost killed by another group of enemies.
After angrily killing this group of damn flesh hunters, we were suddenly stunned.
There is a monster at the door, which means...the reborn demon Selson has not been here?
How about just sitting back and waiting?
I gave the two highly intelligent people behind me a questioning look.
"Judging from the situation of the lost sacred object temple in front, we are not far away from the reborn demon Selson. Maybe it was delayed by something on the way, and maybe it got here before us."
Jeluka and Hilmanya looked at each other and nodded.
This tree stump can be defended for a while.
So, we quickly cleaned up the corpse of the flesh hunter we just killed, even the blood stains, to prevent that slippery guy from smelling any clues and running away.
The three of them lurked in the Forgotten Temple and waited like fools for two hours.
"No, even if I was delayed by something in the middle, this time is too abnormal."
Three farmers watching their rabbits began to realize something was wrong.
"Could it be that... the reborn demon Selson has realized that someone is following him, so he changed his plan?"
Jeluka blurted out.
Regarding this, none of us can be sure, nor can we deny that the reborn demon Selson has lived for so many years. If you want to say that this old monster can detect that danger is gradually approaching it based on only instinct and intuition, then it is not possible. It's not impossible.
"If that's the case, what should we do?"
Hilmanya’s eyes kept lingering on Jeluka and me.
If I were the reborn demon Selson, if I realized that I was being followed, I would definitely speed up the collection, discard some smaller points, and go directly to the place where the crystal fragments are most concentrated.
"Chase!!"
Rarely, Jeluka and I thought of the same thing and said in unison.
Leaving the abandoned temple in a hurry, we rushed all the way to the ancient Kurast Stairway, which was not far from the stairway. In order to save more time, I transformed from the Moon Wolf into the Hell Fighting Bear. Just like last time, I killed Jeluka. and Hilmanya were placed on their shoulders respectively. Fortunately, both of them were slender elves, otherwise the Hell Fighting Bear, who looked like he was wearing a rag doll suit, might not be of such a size that he could sit two people on his shoulders at the same time.
Running all the way, the breath of the Hell Fighting Bear scared away the monsters from a distance. Without encountering any obstacles, it only took us more than ten minutes to see the ancient Kurast Stairway. .
Cui Fanke is built on a huge lake, located exactly on an island in the lake that protrudes from the water in the center of the lake.
Therefore, the so-called stairway is actually a giant bridge connecting the upper level of ancient Kurast and Cui Fank. This giant bridge is more than ten kilometers long and is surrounded by guard temples, so it is also called the Bridge of Gods. The stairway means that every time the devout faith in the hearts of believers increases, they can take a step forward on the stairway and get closer to angels and gods.
Of course, for those whose beliefs are not very strong, such as the common people or poor people in the lower classes of ancient Kurast, for them, this place is just an out-of-reach ladder of status, power, and money, the so-called class ladder. Tao, just like going from the upper level to the shopping mall and then to the lower level.
There are a total of twelve temples and temples located on the long staircase. However, the reborn demon Sarson is not among them. We have to spend some time to check them one by one to prevent the five dragons from making trouble and overrunning the enemy and leaving them behind. .
In this way, more time will be given to the reborn demon Selson.
"Actually, there is no need to worry. It is not a bad thing for the reborn demon Selson to notice us. You see, now, it has even given up on these temples and temples that may have hidden a lot of crystal fragments, and went straight to the goal. In this way, maybe until In the end, it didn’t have enough power to advance into the power of the world.”
Seeing that Hilmanya and I were getting anxious, Jeluka couldn't help but comfort her.
"Maybe that's right, and the power of the world doesn't mean you can break through it, even if the power is enough."
Even if it is to live up to the maid's wishes, we must brace ourselves and deal with it.
Indeed, if simply absorbing the power of crystal fragments cannot break through the bottleneck of that realm, no matter how much energy is absorbed, it will not be able to reach the realm of world power. How can this natural barrier that shuts out countless masters be the same? You can break through just by relying on strength.
However, if this ultimate power reaches the peak of the domain, it can have certain characteristics of world power. For example, Carlos and Seattle, who have reached the peak of pseudo-domain before, have their pseudo-domains. A light layer of the same color.
Because I have never dealt with an enemy of the World Power level, I have no idea about the abilities displayed by the World Power. I don’t know if the Hell Fighting Bear can deal with such an enemy, so if possible, I’d better try my best to stay in the Regeneration Demon Citadel Killing Erson before it reaches that level is the best way.
Trevank - the center of the Zakarum religion, a place with many temples and temples. Compared with the upper level of ancient Kurast, there is a solemn and holy atmosphere here that makes people unable to help but worship. Countless staunch believers are Gathered here, the aura of faith emanating from them gave the entire Cui Fanke a divine brilliance. Even after tens of thousands of years, Cui Fanke had long been ruined and filled with dark power. This force was composed of countless believers. The power of terrifying faith accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years is still condensed here, making Cui Fanke appear extremely mysterious.
On the third floor of the Hatred Cage, a tall figure stepped through the door, and in just a moment, killed one of Mephisto's guard dogs, Spark Fist Bram.
The sharp claws inserted into the chest of Brim, the Fist of Sparks, and absorbed the power of the crystal fragments inside. The reborn demon Selson, whose black aura became more and more intense, laughed diligently.
As long as Mephisto's crystal fragment's power is absorbed, then... it's enough, enough to kill that damn ragdoll bear! !
