Returning from the abyss

Chapter 150
The pig-faced people have always been on the fringes of investigation.Although their fighting power is not weak, the characteristic of only approaching the mountains near the mountain village at night also makes it impossible for those who do not deliberately look for them to know their tracks.

But Lu Ning will not let down his vigilance.

The cursed villagers correspond to "filthy blood", the ritual used by the murlocs in Moon Lake is "water burial", and the ritual performed at the end of the fork in the hilltop castle is "dream entry", so there is still one ritual left that still has no corresponding ritual content.

——Red Moon Ceremony.

The process and purpose of this ceremony are still unclear, but judging from the situation of the other three ceremonies, it must have extraordinary power, otherwise the mission would not allow tourists to "escape before the next red moon ceremony".

"What? You probably thought of it too, right? It's a pity I have to tell you that it's almost impossible to interrupt that ceremony." Zhao Chenshuang saw Lu Ning's expression and immediately knew what she was thinking. Not only me, but also a group of people who did not know how to live or die, tried to sneak into that settlement by relying on the weapons and magic skills they obtained before, but in the end, all of them were killed and all their blood was put into the blood pool."

"Everyone was killed?"

"The fighting power of pig-faced people will be greatly improved only at night. But only in that valley, they will maintain that kind of extremely strong fighting strength for a long time. In addition, those female pig-faced people have more powerful magic, smell and hearing It is also far beyond ordinary people, and if you get too close, you will be noticed immediately."

If she said that, it must have been thoroughly investigated.

"Hold this, this is the blood we finally matched."

Some water bags made from animal bladders were stuffed into Lu Ning's hands.

"The dirty blood ritual is only effective for cursed blood. We have verified this result, but the blood of pig-faced people can also be replaced. We have taken the opportunity to remove the cursed blood in the body, but we don't know that the blood of pig-faced people There will be any problems. Also, you should pay attention, these pig-faced people don’t seem to kill everything when hunting, their targets are selected, I haven’t found out this yet, you can pay attention if it’s convenient.”

"Understood, tonight..."

"I'm sorry, Cheng Wuling's life and death is not in my consideration. And although our investigation is progressing well, we haven't improved our force much, so we can't go to death. We will also provide some support when necessary, don't worry." Expect too much."

Zhao Chenshuang said cruel words and sent Lu Ning to the edge of the woods.

"If you insist on a date, then I will prepare for the next day. If I can make it, it may be earlier."

"You guys better be early."

Lu Ning smiled faintly.

"Huh? Why?"

"Because there might not be another day."

After speaking, she jumped out of the woods and walked away along the mountain road.Zhao Chenshuang stood there and frowned, and then showed a slightly dazed expression.

=====================
Dusk is approaching, the sun has deflected to the west, and has sunk towards the bottom of the mountain.A lonely figure climbed slowly along the mountain path, and gradually reached the halfway up the mountain where the castle on the top of the mountain was about to appear.

Lu Ning had already thrown away her hat, which was easy to block her sight, and only then did she feel a little dazzling. After all, the sun hadn't set yet, and the light was still bright.

"It's...almost?"

She untied a transparent bag filled with dark red blood from her waist and held it in her palm.

This is the blood held by the original tourists, one third of the "rotten blood" and two thirds of the "clean blood".

Like the appearance of a mirage, a white mountain road appeared, and the stone pillars on both sides returned to their normal appearance, and the turtle and snake crawled on top of the stone pillars again.The steps began to extend towards the distant mountain, and within a moment, a huge shadow appeared on the top of the mountain.

A cracking sound sounded in Lu Ning's hand.The blood bag was pinched and exploded, and the blood inside exploded, but it re-gathered in Lu Ning's hands in the air following the guidance of invisible forces. Then she covered her left fist soaked in blood with her right hand, and slowly pulled out a fist. Liquid bloody long knife.

"Repeating and pulling time until then, it's hard work."

Lu Ning flicked the blade downward, and there was a whistling sound in the air, and a trace of murderous intent rolled up.

"However, time should continue to flow."

A knife swept up from bottom to top, rolled the bloody fan-shaped arc, and a crisp sound of slashing came from the head, and the giant tortoise on the stone pillar slowly propped up its body on its four legs.

Immediately afterwards, a large windmill-like bloody light swept across, and the sound of a giant snake hissing and spitting letters came from the stone pillar on the other side.

This is exactly the anomaly that Lu Ning discovered "yesterday".

It wasn't that Qin Zhaolin and others were spying on such things in secret, but these two sculpture-like creatures on the stone pillar.

When I passed by for the first time, it was late and the moon had begun to turn red. The two animals on the stone pillars were alive and well. Although they ignored the passers-by below, they were still living creatures.

But "yesterday", that is, when they passed by for the second time, they remained in the state of clay sculptures and had not yet been activated.

After Lu Ning attacked this time, the turtle and snake woke up. They were undoubtedly living creatures, but the appearance they showed before also showed that they were not ordinary.

At this time, as the two huge creatures woke up, the stones on the surface of the two stone pillars also began to shatter and peel off, revealing the hard blue-gray body underneath and the words carved on it.

【Frozen Turtle

Slowing down the sky, profaning things of the time, and the beast ordered it to stop, which is regarded as the upper commandment. 】

【Ouroboros

Going against time and space, things that defy time, beasts make them harm, one ring and one difficulty. 】

On the red knife, a purple mist was tempered.

The snake was winding down the stone pillar, while the tortoise was still standing on the stone pillar, exhaling white mist from its mouth.

Lu Ning raised the knife.

This is her first official battle.

It is not fleeing while fighting and running, nor is it desperately fighting for big things with small things.In the case of equal strength, a head-to-head confrontation with an unknown outcome is the battle in Lu Ning's heart.

Step forward, hold the knife with both hands, and cut obliquely.

This simple action created a gust of wind under the blessing of the blood technique. The giant snake opened its mouth wide and spewed out a cloud of poisonous mist. The blood and mist crossed in the air without causing any interference to each other. Congealed, and the blood knife pierced diagonally through the middle of the snake's head.

The white brilliance pierced through the poisonous mist, Lu Ning waved the mist away, and there was already a healing light on his body, while the long snake paused slightly in the air, leaving behind a phantom, and returned to the place it was three seconds ago. At the same time, the cut wound on the head also disappeared.

"—toxin is ineffective."

The blood knife in Lu Ning's hand exploded, and the strengthening ability of the purple toxin dissipated immediately after losing its support, and then the blood droplets condensed in his hand again, and the green flame quietly rose.

At this moment, there was a scream in the sky.

Lu Ning suddenly raised her head, but saw the stars all over the sky that shouldn't be shining at this time. They are no longer points, but lines!The elongated trails of starlight are flying downwards at high speed, rushing towards their position with an aura like the end of the world!
Of course it wasn't the real star pendant, but it still had a strong enough impact. Even if it couldn't kill Lu Ning on the spot, it was enough to cause enough trouble in her confrontation with the snake!
boom!
The shot hit the tortoise's feet, and the paralysis and impact force attached to the lightning threw the tortoise off the three-meter-high stone pillar, and the tortoise's shell fell to the ground with a crisp crackling sound.At the same time, the originally neat star falling tracks in the sky also became disordered. They began to disperse and fell to the surrounding mountains, and some even collided in the air, turning into gorgeous fireworks.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ning flew towards the stone pillar of the snake. The blood knife cut through a point of strength and then flew up. With the addition of the energy-absorbing ointment, she was able to climb the three-meter-high stone pillar once. The impact and earthquake caused by the falling of countless stars around made the snake a little dizzy, but it couldn't stop it.

A muffled sound.

The place where the tail of the snake had not left the stone pillar was firmly crucified, and the flame from the blood knife injected into the snake's body along the wound. At this time, the ghost flickered again, and the snake went back in time again, but a part of its body was still stuck in the knife. superior.

"hiss--"

The giant snake let out a cry of pain, obviously realizing that a short time reset could not free itself from the blade, the burning pain of the flames began to spread, and it suddenly felt that its life was threatened.

Lu Ning heard her heartbeat at this moment.

Fighting fiercely, the giant snake neighing, and the stars falling in all directions, under such a huge movement, she could still hear her own heartbeat.

"Fifteen blows."

She smiled, and pulled out another pistol, with a bright blue light circulating on the muzzle.

"Twelve o'clock in the evening goes back to nine o'clock in the morning, which is fifteen hours. But now you can go back, as if it is only a few seconds?"

The second heartbeat echoed clearly and audibly in my ears.

The sky was tearing apart, the stars began to circle the moon under the guidance of the tortoise, and deeper traces of blood vessels began to appear between the gaps, the brilliance of the sun disappeared completely at this moment, and everything around turned into night.

The bullet hit the snake's head, and a very pure cyan color bloomed. The third heartbeat stopped abruptly after only half the sound, and Lu Ning's gradually lost hearing also returned.

The sky was full of rumbles, but the emerging blood vessels disappeared again. This sight convinced Lu Ning of the effect of the cyan catalyst.

Burn divine power.

The second blood sac was pinched and exploded. Lu Ning pulled out another blood-made long knife, jumped down from the stone pillar, and the blade hit the giant snake's neck!

At the same time, the giant snake, which was still in pain and twisted, opened its mouth suddenly, and a twisted force gushed out of its mouth, swallowing Lu Ning whole while the blade sank into its neck.
