Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
In the half-collapsed temple, only a few stone pillars are still intact, together supporting a small half of the main hall.
There is a cracked altar at the front of the main hall, and a dark, huge cross stands in the center of the altar.
A naked man hanging upside down above the cross, his ankles, his thighs, and his body, with obvious rusty iron nails exposed, accompanied by bright red blood stains.
Derrick clearly knows that this is the "Corrupt Creator" idol, but still can't help drooping his eyes, and looks at the target's face.
He saw the face, nose, mouth, ears, etc. of the idols were blurred, but his eyes were carved very clearly.
"Corrupt Creator" closed his eyes tightly as if suffering guilt and pain.
"Remove your eyes, don't study the statue of Evil God!" "Demon Hunter" Colin Shen Sheng reminded.
"Yes, Lord chief." Several exploration teams member quickly took back their eyes.
—— Before today, although Silver City found many destroyed cities in previous explorations and found some written records pointing to Evil God, most residents have never seen the so-called Evil God statue.
The remaining part of the temple on the ground is not wide. The exploration team quickly completed the inspection in groups of two or three, and found no abnormalities.
"Council of the Six" Chief Colin is seen, after a few seconds of consideration:
"Go underground."
While speaking, he brushed out one of his double swords and smeared a silver-grey ointment on it.
Next, he took off a metal vial in the dark compartment of the waist belt, pulled out the stopper, and grunted the potion.
At this moment, Derrick felt that the light blue pupils of chief seemed to be brighter.
The exploration team member made the most careful preparations one after another. Under the illumination of four animal skin lanterns, they walked along the stairs on the left side of the idol to the underground area step by step.
Derrick rotated to the position of lifting the lantern, walking in front of the left, carefully going deep into the darkness.
He heard the sound of footsteps of himself and his companions swaying from the surface of the stone steps, producing a long and empty echo.
This echo has not been disturbed, indicating the absolute silence below, but in the heart of each exploration team member, it is like a knock on the door, trying to open a secret that has been buried for unknown years, and this allows Their spirit had to be highly tense.
I do n’t know how long I walked, Derrick finally saw the road ahead become flat, and also saw the newly discovered mural described by the polluted Darc Rekins.
The murals are large and large on the walls on both sides, and they are simply colored, making them look old, vicissitudes, and bleak.
Derrick glanced at random, and was attracted by one of the murals:
On the wall on the left front, a white cross stands at the center, surrounded by black water like water, submerging many human race struggling to stretch take action arms.
The "Corrupt Creator" is hanging upside down on the cross. The rusty nails and blood stains are no different from the outside world.
But in this mural, "Corrupt Creator" is being eroded by black, so that the whiteness of the cross has become dark in part.
In addition, the cross supports a hazy earth, and countless human races are kneeling and praying to "Corrupt Creator".
Six Evil God-like figures are hidden in the darkest place around the screen.
In the upper left corner is a girl wearing a black classical long dress. Her clothes are layered but not complicated, inlaid with stars like a lot of glow, her body is more blurred, there are signs of rippling out, her face Blurred, it seems to be wearing a mask without facial features.
Darkness surging around her, a strange eye looming.
At the top is a young man in a pure white robe. His face is painted in pure gold, and he has a ray of tentacles.
His hands held rot-green books and splendid spears, and his chest and vest turned upside down.
In the upper right corner is a monster holding a trident. It has an octopus-like head, eyes wide and lightning.
The feathers of countless birds form its cloak, and the darkness turns into waves, holding its feet.
At the bottom right is a plump and feminine lady with her chest bulging high and naked outside her clothes. She is holding a baby with a rotten face in her arms. Her feet are black wheat ears and creeping Springs of flesh, herbs with pus and wildly mating animals.
Below is an old man wearing a hood, showing his mouth, wrinkles, and white beard.
The old man holds the opened book with an eye symbolizing omniscience.
At first glance, this old man is the most normal, but the smile outlined in the corner of his mouth is kind of indescribable evil.
In the lower left corner is a giant warrior wearing derelict armor. He is sitting on the throne with a long sword, and the background is a desolate dusk.
This mural means that Great Cataclysm is coming, Evil God climbed out of the abyss, "Corrupt Creator" suffered most of the guilt and pain in order to save the world, and as a result, the symbol has been eroded and the image has changed ... … But, I think He is the biggest Evil God ... Derrick carried the animal skin lantern and looked at the mural on the wall, and found that it was basically the same as the description of Darc Rekins. The core theme was that the area where he was was not abandoned by God, but received With the protection of "Creator", civilization is maintained in doomsday.
Of course, Darc Rekins was only briefly mentioned before, far from the details presented by the mural itself.
In the whole process, Derrick did not relax his guard. After learning from the silly lessons before, he always guarded against accidents and prepared for the first response.
In the dim and dim candlelight, the exploration team passed through corridors, halls, and rooms, deep into the underground area of the temple.
Suddenly, a half-open grey stone gate appeared in front of them.
Outside the gate, there are clusters of beautiful mushroom-shaped things. They are slap-sized, with white handles, bright red umbrella covers, and dark golden spots dotted in the crystal.
As soon as they saw these "mushrooms", the member members of the exploration team showed a strong appetite, just want to rush over, pull out a plant, and stuff it into the entrance.
Guru, many people swallowed.
However, most of the people who can enter the exploration team have rich experience and relatively good sequence. In the case of being reminded beforehand, someone immediately stood up and whispered:
"That's rotting flesh and hairy scalp."
Derrick knows this teammate, knows that his name is Joshua, and there is a magical item that was obtained in a certain exploration and successfully redeemed.
Joshua stretched out left palm wearing crimson gloves and aimed at the gate.
The streamer flashed, and the blazing fireball quickly formed and shot out, right in front of the extremely attractive "mushrooms."
Boom! The ground trembles slightly, and the flame spreads to two meters around.
When the fire light subsides, the mushrooms have all disappeared, leaving only bits and pieces of flesh and blood stains. I can't see my Extraordinary almost disgusting before.
"Demon Hunter" Colin did not interfere with the actions of member, quietly beside looks at, nodded from time to time.
"How come there are mushrooms turned into flesh and hair? Where did the flesh and hair come from?" Joshua withdrew left palm and wondered to himself.
Another member boldly guessed:
"The original residents of this city?"
Possibly ... Maybe their death turned into pure flesh and hair ... Derrick agreed in his heart.
After a brief discussion, the exploration team was divided into several groups to clear the hall outside the grey stone gate.
After all this, they regrouped and slowly passed the gate, ready to fight.
After the gate, there is an altar-like place, and the area around which the light is difficult to reach is deep and dark, I do n’t know what is hidden.
And above the altar, a black cross and a hanged "Corrupt Creator" are also erected.
The Derrick carrying the hide lantern was the closest and glanced instinctively.
His eyes suddenly froze because he found that the "Corrupt Creator" idol here was different from the outside world.
Its eyes are open!
White eyes with **** eyes and black eyes, staring directly at the intruder in front of him like life.
dá dá dá, Derrick heard the sound of tooth collision.
He originally thought which member this came from, but soon understood that he was shaking himself!
Although he did n’t know enough about the hazards of Evil God, he was trembling instinctively at this moment.
dá dá dá.
His teammates responded similarly.
At this moment, a little powder floated, and "demon hunting Man" Colin shook his fist.
Boom!
The sound of thunder echoed, and Derrick and others suddenly awakened and got rid of the nightmarish state.
They still had time to look around, and there was a sudden crying behind the altar.
"Woo, woo, woo ..."
"Woo, woo, woo ..."
In a quiet, bitter, "Demon Hunter" Colin order without hesitation:
"Derrick, Joshua, look around."
The Derrick body held the hide lantern with a chill, held "Hurricane Axe", and along with Joshua, walked slowly towards the back of the altar.
As the darkness gradually dissipated by the light, they saw a black shadow curled up behind the altar.
In the first two steps, the shadow shows its original appearance.
It was a 7-8-year-old child, yellow haired was supple.
He closed his eyes, he seemed a little uncomfortable with the light, but shouted excitedly in his mouth:
"Save me, save me ..."
Derrick's pupils shrank, thinking of the cry for help previously heard in pure darkness, and subconsciously raised "Hurricane Axe".
At this time, I have come to the "Demon Hunter" Colin next to them to take a step forward and asked solemnly:
"Who are you?"
The child stopped calling for help and said in memory:
"My name is Jack ..."
…………
After dinner, Klein put on his coat and hat, ready to go out.
He is going to find Miss Sharon, to solve the problem of a baronet digging tunnels, and ask the mermaid for clues by the way, trying to complete this matter before Detective Sherlock Moriarty goes south for a "vacation".
