The road leading to the depths of the tomb is not easy to walk. The road is buried with sharp stones as sharp as a knife. Baku cannot use Yuan Li and can only move forward like ordinary people. This is a rule left by the ancestors, if you can't do it, you are not qualified to take out the blood of the devil.
Baku gritted his teeth and walked forward one step at a time. The piercing pain from his feet made his eyes full of blood red. This pain awakened his memories, everything was like returning to the night two years ago.
That night was also stained red with blood. When his wife and son died before his eyes, Baku was more painful than he is now. That kind of spiritual pain completely transcends the physical body. At that time, the seeds of revenge were quietly planted, and after two years of nurturing, it finally germinated and bloomed. Baku vowed that he would return this pain a hundredfold to the people of Suer City.
Outside the cave, a leader said worriedly: "Perhaps we shouldn't let Baku in."
King Kong shook his head and said: "It's useless, I can see the look in Baku's eyes very clearly. Even if we don't allow him, he will do everything possible to get in. Moreover, this is not a good thing. Baku is willing Becoming the devil, as long as he destroys the city of Suhl, we don’t have to worry about those outsiders anymore."
"Is this really the case? I only worry that it will lead to greater disaster."
King Kong's heart sank, but he didn't say anything. He looked into the cave and said nothing.
Baku doesn't know how long it has been, maybe one day? Maybe a century? After the pain becomes numb, time loses its meaning. He just walked forward mechanically, leaving a series of blood marks behind him. He felt that his body became heavy because of too much blood flowing out of his feet. If a normal person has passed out, Baku still gritted his teeth with the support of the fire of revenge to continue walking.
Finally, he reached the end. At the end is a hall, an underground hall supported by natural stone pillars. Around the hall, there are constant flames and corners, and the air here is full of the smell of sulfur. Baku vaguely remembers that it seems that thousands of years ago, there were multiple craters in the Aspen Mountains. It's just that the volcano has entered a period of dormancy and the mountain is covered by trees, so people have forgotten this fact.
Baku smiled. He could feel a slight vibration from time to time under the ground. Maybe the ancestors of the Bymon were built on the crater of the volcano. There is a circle of skulls under the stone pillars in the hall, but the surrounding walls are filled with countless bones. These bones are embedded in the wall, and I don't know how to get them there.
The bones in this cemetery were all warriors who sacrificed to seal the devil in their lives. Now, the heroic spirits of these warriors guard the underground hall, guarding the remaining demon blood.
In the center of the underground hall, there is a round stone platform. On it, a dusty iron box is quietly enshrined on the platform. Baku walked over and opened the box vigorously. There are three transparent, long strips in the box. In them, the dark red blood rolled slowly as if it had its own will. If Alan was here, he would be very surprised, because the thing that kept the devil's blood turned out to be a test tube!
Baku picked up one of the test tubes. When the test tube was picked up, there seemed to be a corner of some kind in the bottom of the box below. Baku thought for a while, then picked up another one, and the sign became more obvious. If you look closely, it is not difficult to see that it seems to be a pattern of a rose flower.
A golden rose.
Of course, Baku doesn't care about these. He unplugged the cork of the test tube and then poured it into his mouth. The devil's blood in the test tube was almost like an escaped beast, turning into a burst of red electricity and blasting it into Baku's mouth. Baku drank two bottles of demon blood in a row, and then looked at the test tube, the inside was unexpectedly clean. It was so clean, not even a drop of blood was left behind.
Baku was wondering whether the demon blood had any effect, when his heart suddenly hurt, he couldn't help but yelled out. Then the temperature of the whole body rose sharply, and the muscles under his skin squirmed violently like all kinds of insects. Baku felt like his body was about to split, and screamed in pain.
The call faintly reached King Kong's ears through the cave.
The head of the worshiper couldn't help but twist his brows together.
"The devil, actually refers to the blood of the devil."
As the sun approaches dusk, Caesar wakes up after a long nap, much better than in the morning. Allen had changed his dress and put on loose and comfortable casual clothes. According to the legend of the Bymon, when their ancestors migrated from other places to the Aspen Mountains, they alarmed a demon in the mountains. In the end, the Warriors of the Bymon subdued the devil, but Ji Kun, one of the bravest leaders at the time, was bitten by the devil.
Soon after, Jiqun's soul was contaminated, and he turned into a demon. And his power is more terrifying than the demon who bit him. After a earth-shattering battle, the strong among the Bymon were killed and wounded. There were only two of the more than ten headmen, and more than a thousand warriors died before finally killing Ji Kun.
The two remaining leaders at that time, one Maya and the other Sagong. Maya soon discovered that she was contaminated by Jikun. In order to prevent herself from becoming a demon, the female leader chose to exterminate herself. But she wants Sagong to take advantage of her death, and keep her blood, which is now the blood of the devil.
Sakong kept the devil's blood in the cemetery of the Bymon. In order to prevent the tribe from accidentally using the devil's blood, he weaved a lie. It is claimed that the devil who polluted Jiqun did not die. As for the truth, only a few people know it and it has been passed down from generation to generation.
"Baku also learned about devil blood from me. After I get well, I must return to the Aspen Mountains to prevent him from using devil blood." Caesar sighed.
Alan frowned: "Since demon blood can pollute you and turn you into demons, why does Maya keep it?"
"Regarding this issue, King Kong and I privately speculated that it might be to give the Bymons a chance to fight back." Caesar said: "Because Sagong died that year, he once said so. Once the worshipers appear extinct. During the disaster, as long as someone voluntarily turns into a demon, he can go to the ancestral cemetery to take out the devil’s blood. Of course, this person needs to be nodded in agreement by all the heads of the same period before entering the cemetery.
"It turns out that this is the case."
At this time, Father Milo brought dinner. Allen got up and said: "You can eat something, I won't disturb you."
He turned to leave.
Caesar stopped him: "Alan, if... if he chooses to turn into a demon in Baku, I want to ask you. Probably only with your power can I have a chance to kill him."
"I understand."
Ellen pushed the door out, and Lucy leaned against the wall in the corridor outside the door. She raised her eyebrows: "Do you really believe that there are demons in this world, those lives in religious legends?"
"No, according to Caesar's description, the so-called demon is more like a genetic mutation, or a virus carrier. Like the head man Jiqun, his symptoms are not like being infected by the so-called demon. Is there some kind of virus? It’s just that the Bymons can’t explain this phenomenon, so they call it a devil, and coupled with the age, after the ancestors of the past, there are things like demons."
"In that case, I seem to have seen such things as genetic mutations through viral infections." Lucy frowned.
Allen half-joked: "Don't tell me, this is some kind of biological weapon of your Idahua star again?"
"Since Elisa can reach the star of Pluto, God knows if the same spacecraft will visit this planet in the past. It's really hard to say."
Allen got a headache after listening.
On the third day of Edward's wedding, the sky today looked strangely gloomy. The sky in the direction of the Aspen Mountains can be described as a plume cloud, as if the entire sky is about to collapse. So people in Suhl today feel depressed for no reason, as if the air pressure in the whole city has risen a little for it.
Allen frowned and looked at this strange weather. Compared with ordinary people, people like them who can drive the original force are more sensitive to natural changes. Allen has been feeling a little irritable since the morning, as if something big is going to happen, but with a lot of clues, can't think of what's wrong.
The same is true for people, especially for animals. The fierce hounds of the city defense team usually lie in the kennel unwilling to come out today, which makes the soldier Harder very puzzled. Harder is responsible for raising these dogs and training them. For him, even with his eyes closed, he can call out the name of every hound in the kennel.
"Zola, Kit...what's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Harder tried his best to bring out two of his best hounds from the kennel. The other hounds are not at all. I am willing to leave the kennel for a step, as if the disaster outside is about to come.
The hunting dog named Zola has a small horn missing on the left ear, which is very easy to recognize. It crouched under Harder's army boots and screamed weakly. Even if Harder took out his favorite barbecue/intestine, Zola just sniffed it twice, and shrugged his head and didn't like to move.
The strange atmosphere is permeating the barracks of the city defense team.
Today was an extraordinarily long time, but no matter how long it is, time will move forward meticulously. After the sun set, I don't know which hound barked first, and all the dogs joined the barking ranks. Not only that, but the barking sound spread to the city, and people found that cats and dogs had become extremely manic. The mice scrambled to get up from the sewer, scurrying around like blind flies. Even the most docile horse in normal times rushed into the fence of the stable, and the whole city of Suer was full of the sounds of various animals.
A kind of unexplainable heart palpitations fills everyone's heart. People stay at home consciously, closing doors and windows tightly. In the temple of Sarbis, the candle was burning high, and an elderly priest was chanting hymns towards the statue of the God of War. Suddenly, from a very remote place outside the temple, there was a vaguely undetectable, but extremely screaming scream.
The old priest suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
