Shadow Covenant

"Nothing! Let's go!"

Woody glanced at the huge disc that had returned to calm behind him. The grand momentum just now seemed to have never happened halfway. However, it has nothing to do with Woody now. His purpose of coming here has been fulfilled. What he has to do now is to enter the temple, follow the prompt given by the Feathered Serpent God, and take advantage of the fact that there is no one in it, turn the inside of the temple that is running The ritual is destroyed.

The Feathered Serpent God didn't force them to kill the priests of the temple. Compared with other people's help, he hoped that after lifting the restrictions, he would personally turn his body and soul into nutrients for his body to wake up.

At this time, under the sky, the beam of light that originally soared to the sky at the top of the temple has long been dimmed, and the singularity that shines like stars is also flickering. The soft light also reflected the marble ground of the temple like a quiet lake in the dark night. People walked on it, and the light and shadow brought ripples.

The entrance of the temple is not difficult to find. Through the alley formed by a narrow wall extending hundreds of meters, you can see the majestic and huge statue of Feathered Serpent God, but just like the temple, it is also covered with a layer of The gray night veil made the statue, which seemed to be alive and alive, now lifeless, like an object carved by mechanized craftsmanship, without a trace of the creator's spirituality.

"Don't enter through the main entrance. There are temple puppets set up by the priests. We will be noticed when we enter."

The excitement in Ruiya's eyes was indescribable. Ever since she knew that this group of people had agreed to her god's invitation and chose to help her god get out of trouble, her mood had been in a difficult stage of calming down, but it did not affect her serious guidance Everyone entered the temple in a safe way.

But what Ruiya didn't expect was that Woody came to the side door where she often walks one step faster than her. If you look at the head crown of the Feathered Serpent God relief on it, there will be a small door for one person to pass through.

"How did he know?!"

Ruiya was stunned for a moment, but immediately found a reason for Woody, and looked at Woody with some envy.

"The great Barukalya told him even this! O God's grace!"

She lamented the Feathered Serpent God's preference, but she didn't feel any jealousy. After all, the god gave her a lot. If it wasn't for the Feathered Serpent God's blessing, she might not be able to survive ten years in this temple, but carefully Thinking about it, it was too outrageous. After all, Feathered Serpent told him about such a trivial matter. It could be said that she was online all the time, and she felt that her existence was a bit redundant.

Of course, she naturally didn't expect that these were the knowledge of the copy of the Lost Temple in the previous life, and Woody here is just borrowing from the speedrunning strategy created by many players in the previous life at the cost of reincarnation.

Although they can't learn too much, after all, their purpose this time is not to overthrow the temple and kill the mastermind behind the scenes, but to seize the gap when they leave the temple, enter quietly, and complete the goal. If the former is an ordinary and normal customs clearance process, then Woody can be seen as sneaking in and destroying.

But there are still some very useful ones, such as the paths and methods to various locations in the temple area, which are all engraved in his mind.

"Come in! What did you say just now?"

Woody opened the side door, then turned his head and said to everyone, just now he was concentrating on something, and vaguely heard what Ruiya seemed to be saying, so he asked again.

"No...it's nothing, let's go in."

Since there was Balukalya's guidance, Ruiya would not take the initiative to ask Ying to lead the way. After all, he told her many things she didn't know through communication.

Woody didn't take this matter to heart either. What he was thinking more about now was how to go to the location where the "sanctuary" in the core area of ​​the temple was after bringing everyone in.

He remembered that there were a lot of dangers along the way, whether it was a terrifying wolf with a little blood of a hell three-headed dog guarded by the "Forbidden Room" with a dead magic area, or it was produced by the gathering of bones after the death of many feathered snakes. The skeletal snake group of the "Dwelling Place" of the necromantic resentment creature, and the treasure room disguised as a temple, are actually occupied by various treasure chest monsters, including the "abandoned storage room" of a warblade golem. A "botanical garden" full of hallucinogenic spores, killer vines, and hanging trees...

If you follow the player's method, you should walk to the right after entering, through the long corridor of the temple with countless reliefs praising Feathered Serpent God's achievements, then through the empty and abandoned living hall area, abandoned storage room, and then through a road full of The corridor of the trap, so as to reach the forbidden demon room, and climb the steps to reach the sanctuary on the second floor by hiding it, but now, there are obviously two roads in front of him.

He looked at the extraordinary curved sword engraved with the "wind element" enchantment in his hand, and fell into deep thought for a while.

Seeing that he was slightly engrossed after entering, the others didn't rush, knowing that he might be thinking, so they all silently chose to follow behind him. Cecil and the others looked around curiously.

After entering the temple, the reliefs revealed nearby can be said to present the history of Feathered Serpent God to the viewer in the form of pictures.

Kafferman, on the other hand, felt sorry for his wife who stayed in this cold place like a tomb for half a century.

Ruiya didn't think about it that much, she was more puzzled now, especially when she saw Woody stop in place, she wondered whether Barukalya didn't remind him that there was only one way to reach them through the side door Sanctuary who wants to move forward, why are you still hesitating here?
Just when she wanted to remind that there was not much time left, and when the old priest didn't find any trace of them, he would definitely turn his suspicious eyes back to the inside of the temple, and the risk of their exposure would gradually increase, Woody moved .

But instead of taking the path she was familiar with going to the sanctuary, the long corridor on the right, she went to the corridor on the left.

"and many more."

Rui Ya finally couldn't help but speak out, only listening to her tactful words.

"Over there is the place to go to the rest room of the temple. It has been abandoned. There is nothing. We rarely go there."

The living area of ​​these temple personnel has long been replaced by the living area on the right. She often rests there after praying, and there are also many temple guards who live in small rooms near the living area. There is also a small The chapel, the location leading to the sanctuary is also close, and there is no need to go to another rest area that has been abandoned.

"I know."

Woody nodded.

"My purpose is not to rest the area, but to go to the basement. There should be stairs to go underground."

Woody looked at Rhea with a questioning look.

And Ruiya's gaze answered his question without words.

Her eyes were a little dull, as if she didn't quite understand the meaning of the basement, but after she understood it, a certain emotion bloomed in her eyes, which was panic.

"Why would you think of going to the basement? God told us to go to the sanctuary! The sanctuary is on the second floor of the temple, why..."

"Do you trust me? Do you trust your god?"

Woody didn't answer too much, just threw out a question.

Ruiya didn't answer after hearing this, but she was slightly taken aback. After a few seconds, she seemed to have made up her mind and nodded.

"Okay, I'll take you there!"

"No, I know the way. Just pay attention to your back and let us not leave too many traces."

Woody is naturally very familiar with this road. After all, when he knew that he was about to go to the Lost Temple, the memory of this route kept echoing and flashing in his mind, but at that time he thought more about taking another road. One way, after all, compared with the former, the safety of the latter is greatly enhanced.

But there is not much time left for him, not to mention, he still has the reassurance of Barukalya, if he has to be timid, how will he be able to take Weilando and his aunt away from Asenland in the future, and let them Safe and sound in the coming tide of turmoil.

"There are not many people now, so hurry up!"

The moment Woody set off, he began to trot. He knew very well whether there were any traps here.

The others followed quickly, even Cecil blessed himself with the grace of a cat, and then followed.

The corridor of the Lost Temple is not very wide, and the three of them seem to be congested side by side. Fortunately, all the power inside the temple was dispatched to arrest them who were fleeing. The battle of the guards that should have encountered in the corridor was eliminated , Woody can remember how disgusting the tower shield guarded by the temple is in this narrow space, it is like an iron wall, it is difficult to deal with it quickly, and if it is delayed for a long time, it may disturb more guards, dragging the player to death in the narrow space in the corridor.

The figures of Woody and others quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.

……

Accidents always come unprepared.

"Why are there so many spider webs and grass here?"

After passing a corner, Cecil discarded the cobwebs sticking to his hair with some annoyance. The cold wind coming from the corner caught everyone by surprise, and they all trembled immediately.

But what surprised them even more was the dilapidation of the corridor in front of them, which was completely different from the corridor just now, where the ground was even clear and reflected in the reflection. The cobwebs seem to have not picked a lot of fruits, clinging to it, and clumps of green weeds grow stubbornly in the cracks of the stone slabs on the ground, and at the end of the passage, an arched stone door can be clearly seen Standing quietly at the end, the heavy cobwebs seem to have a heavy sense of history.

"Why is it like this here..."

Even Ruiya was very surprised. Although she didn't come here many times in the abandoned rest area, she knew that this part should belong to the old version before the change of the temple. At that time, the temple was not so grand and occupied less land As wide as it is, only about half of the area, and this place belongs to the ruins area of ​​the old temple.

But no matter how old it is, it will not become so unbearable, just like a thousand-year-old tomb.

"Shh, don't talk."

Woody made a gesture for silence, and then began to press his ears to the ground, as if he was listening carefully.

"Are there other creatures here?"

Before Woody could answer with words, Cecil's words broke into his mind. Telepathy is the best cornerstone of communication, but the premise is that there are no creatures with psychic powers around, otherwise, they will Your communication will be like the majestic king's new clothes, which can be seen at a glance.

"A lair of giant jungle spiders."

"Jungle giant spider?"

Cecil didn't seem to have heard the name of this monster, but judging from the solemnity in Woody's eyes, it was obviously not easy to mess with.

"An ancient species that has long been extinct."

Woody added.

"It's normal if you don't know."

"And... not necessarily."

Looking back on his memory, Woody said with some uncertainty.

After all, the abandoned rest room of the Lost Temple in the previous life was indeed occupied by a group of giant jungle spiders, and they also built nests in the rest room. Anyone who broke in would turn into food and enter their stomachs.

But according to the official statement, this group of giant jungle spiders were originally dead spider eggs, which were revived by the natural breath brought by the awakening of the Feathered Serpent God. Waking up, the spider queen with a challenge level of 10 brought a group of at least 30 jungle giant spiders with an individual level over 8.

At that time, the players who took this road to clear the level all complained about the maliciousness of the plan. After all, the boss battle here is completely different from other places. Was surrounded by three, four, or even seven or eight spiders at the same time.

At that time, if the player chose this route, eight out of ten of the preconditions for clearing the level in the guide were doing various parkours, and the tables, chairs and benches in the lounge became props for them to show off their movements.

However, when Woody gradually led everyone closer to the arch, the movement on the other side of the door made everyone's expressions slightly changed, because the loud sound was coming from the other side of the door at this moment, and the stone door that was originally dusty was also at this moment. At the same time, there was movement.

After hearing the sound of boulders moving, the arch was opened.

Then a huge rest area appeared in front of everyone, about 50 meters long and [-] feet high, which was about the same size as the square where the obelisk was located before, except that it was the same as the passage, with the chandeliers above the head and the decorated stone statues. It is full of spider webs, and besides the resting tables, chairs, high platform, and those stone objects, the ground is covered with half-person-high weeds and even ten-foot-high trees. If it weren't for the architectural style here, it would almost It makes people mistakenly think that this is an indoor garden.

But what surprised everyone was not this, but a long white silk thread behind the door. The silk thread was in a tight state, one part was tied to the door, and the other part was slanting upwards.

Woody and the others couldn't help looking up, and found a huge monster crawling on top of their heads at some point, with silk threads extending from the end of its abdomen, and three pairs of deep green compound eyes were quietly looking at them.
