Chapter 335 Bone Altar

The pigman knight was crippled with a pig's trotter, and now he can barely support it. A knight who can't run is no longer a threat to Lance.

But Lance didn't just underestimate it. Instead, he walked around the broken pig's trotter, took out a long sword and inserted it into the pig's butt to open his eyes.

The pig man only felt a chill in his back, followed by unspeakable pain, jumped up uncontrollably and let out a miserable wail.

This time, Lance penetrated too deeply, and he jumped up before he could even pull it out, leaving the long sword inside.

But when it fell back and fell, the injured leg could no longer withstand the fracture and fracture along the wound, leaving only a little flesh connected.

The pigman is huge and difficult to shake, but it is also difficult for it to move by itself, let alone now.

You move him, he moves around, just circles with you, no matter how strong it is frontally, it is difficult to touch Lance who is in a dead corner.

Finally, with a mournful howl, the pigman knight was afraid and wanted to run away, but at this time, how could he let him run away.

"Hmph! Want to escape?" Lance raised his hand with a cold face, took out his musket, pointed it at the other pig's knuckle and shot.

The lead bullet tore through the Achilles tendon of the flesh and blood, causing the pig knight to run away. The whole pig's back half was directly dragged on the ground, leaving only the front two pig feet to support it.

Lance didn't have any nonsense, and pulled out the long sword that was still inserted, but the excrement was also left by the way, which made him disgusted for a while.

Damn, this sword is no longer available.

Inexplicable anger rose, and Lance picked up the sword and thrust it in again, still yelling: "Poke me? Poke me? Poke me or not..."

A cruel and inhuman massacre has begun, and those who offend him will have no good end~
Lance took control of the situation, and Disma and the others also dealt with the little Karamis. When they turned their attention, they saw Lance swearing and poking the pig knight.

At this time, the pig knight was dying, and it could be seen that the fat back of the pig knight had already been covered with wounds.

When he fell to the ground, he didn't have the strong sense of oppression that he had at the beginning, and he didn't even have the strength to resist, so he could only let out a wailing scream.

Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but feel a chill behind them.

As if noticing their gaze, Lance also put down his long sword, and actively opened his mouth to draw their attention away.

"You have also seen that although this monster is huge in size, its weakness is actually very obvious. As long as its legs are crippled, it will be difficult to resist.

It's just that the strength of the pigman knight is very exaggerated, even I can't stand it, so I must not confront it head-on. "

Lance also explained a wave of his behavior, but it's hard to say whether they believe it or not.

"Huh~" Lance let out a bad breath, and he didn't bother to torture it, so he just gave it a good time.

But what to do with the corpse?
Lance knew that this was a rare elite monster, and she would be very happy if she could bring it back to Paracelsus.

But the problem is that it's too big, and I can't fit it in my showroom...

Forget it, now there are several relatively well-preserved corpses stuffed in the showroom, enough for them to study for a while.

In the future, if I am prepared, I will not be afraid of not being able to catch a better one. This pig's butt has been poked by him, and it will not look good to take back.

"Everyone, check to see if you are injured." Lance said, raising his hand to sacrifice the scattered corpses on the ground.

The huge size of the pigman knight did not bring him any special gifts, some just had more spirituality than other pigmen, and this was exactly what Lance needed.

The void devoured the corpses on the field, and Lance felt the spirituality in his body.

Only dead pigs are good pigs.

While he was disposing of the corpse, several other people also confirmed that they were not injured. In fact, they were all familiar with the methods of these pigmen and how to deal with them.

It is impossible for ordinary teams to be harmless, but the team led by Lance is so unreasonable.

"It's good that everyone is fine." Lance pulled out the torch that was stuck on the wall, and then raised it up to let the fire shine on a larger area. "There is something special marked on the map, everyone, be careful."

The space here is not too big, and soon Lance found a very strange thing.

It was a thick stone pillar with strange carved textures on it, and a rope connected several heads hanging on it, rotting in this dark environment, but the inside was already empty.

At the same time, there were skulls piled up under the stone pillar, most of which had already been turned into white bones, and some were wrapped in a layer of black dry skin left after drying in the shade. Take it and throw it over here.

In fact, there are obvious traces of blood around the base of the stone pillar, which should be accumulated by those hanging heads dripping blood on it over the years.

"What is this?" Disma frowned, and as he spoke, he picked up the short sword and tried to pick those heads away.

With so many heads, I don't know how many people were killed.

"Don't move!" Lance hurriedly shouted to stop when he saw it, and reminded: "There is a problem above."

When Disma heard this, he paused and took it back angrily, then turned to look at the lord and asked, "What's wrong, my lord?"

Lance didn't speak, but waved his hand to make him back away, brought the torch closer, and then walked around the stone pillar, as if he was studying something.

Ordinary people can only see the surface, but Lance can see more with his unique talent. There is an extraordinary power lingering above the stone pillar, which is enough to make him more cautious.

"I thought it was a sacrifice." Boudica commented casually, "I have seen killed enemies dedicated to ancestor spirits in the tribe."

Needless to say, for this professional counterpart, most of the mountain tribes believe in the spirit of nature, which is the concept of shaman, and sacrificial rituals such as killing enemies, using human sacrifices, and living sacrifices are very common to her .

"Boudica is right, it is a dark altar, the skull is prominently displayed, and a strange power is felt in its presence."

Of course Lance knows what this is. This is a [Bone Altar], a scene prop in the Beast Dungeon Dungeon in the game. After the hero touches it, it will get a very powerful boost for a short time.

It is precisely knowing that Lance does not want Disma to trigger the power above, because it is a one-time touch, but if he can master the method, then he can obtain a controllable and continuous increase.

The silence just now was studying the extraordinary power contained in it.

In fact, so far Lance has collected a lot of things related to extraordinary power, whether it is the heritage of witches, or all kinds of strange props left by bald wizards.

Later, I also discussed mysticism and various strange rituals with people like Grindel and Tamara, so I have a little understanding of these.

Lance soon understood what was going on, and just looking at the slightly disappointed expression, he knew that his idea of ​​replicating this increase was naive.

Because the source of its power is not the stone pillar itself, this stone pillar is actually the stone used for support here, and the rough patterns on it are just for decoration and there is nothing magical about it.

The reason why it has extraordinary power is the evil ceremony, and the stone pillar just happened to be chosen as the carrier of the ceremony.

In fact, the gods of those mountain tribes also came in this way. Maybe these pig people may also give birth to a god that belongs to them after thousands of years of sacrifice.

but now……

Lance raised his hand to touch the bone altar, and immediately activated [Sacrifice], and the spirituality lingering on the stone pillar was directly deprived and turned into a gift.

And the spiritual fluorescence in his line of sight also faded away, completely lost its power, and turned into an ordinary stone pillar again.

In other words, he may have killed the birth of a "god" of pigmen.

After finishing the processing, he turned and spoke to Disma and the others.

"This thing is called a bone altar. It is a very primitive sacrifice ceremony. Its origin is estimated to be traced back to primitive worship..."

Lance roughly explained the situation of this thing, and at the end he did not forget to warn, "It is best not to move around when you see something too strange in the future, because no one knows if there is any evil power on it."

After Lance finished speaking, the worry on his face did not disappear, and he still looked a little dignified.

Disma and the others can kill people, but when it comes to thinking about the situation, it is a bit difficult for them.

But Lance saw some useful information from this bone altar.

He is sure that this kind of thing is not from the Ascension Sect, because their flesh and blood rituals are definitely not so primitive and rough. On the contrary, most of the rituals are very "exquisite" under the continuous improvement of the ancestor's research.

Coupled with the fact that there are elite pigman knights guarding here, it is enough to show the importance of this place to pigmen.

So here can only be those pig people, that is to say, there are signs of the most primitive religious worship inside the pig people, this is really...

"Let's go, this place should be very important to pig people, we might have trouble if we stay here."

Although the team seems to be in good shape now, Lance understands that the limit is already reached.

The crowd didn't say anything, but silently followed the lord outside.

The super-strong physique brought Lance the ability to never forget, or in other words, his thinking was very strong, and he could memorize the places marked by their exploration without even checking the map in his hand.

He needed to explore slowly when he came in, so he took a lot of wrong roads, but he knew the shortest way to go out.

Everyone's footsteps are fast, and they desperately need fresh air.

"Who!"

Lance, who was leading the way, suddenly exclaimed, which caused Disma and the others to lose their minds for a moment.

Almost at the same time, there was also a chaotic sound from the opposite side, but it was not the familiar pig cry.

"Flesh soars!"

"Lord, give me strength!"

"..."

The fanatical figure finally appeared, it was the cultist they were very familiar with.

"It's the Ascension Sect!" Langston suddenly noticed something, all kinds of messy voices echoing in the narrow passage seemed very chaotic.

But this unexpected encounter did not prevent the outbreak of the battle, or that it had already begun when the two sides discovered each other.

The cult warrior staggered with stiff steps, and stabbed with the specially made claws in his hand.

Because he was too close, Lance could even see the fanatical and fearless face that half of the helmet could not cover.

Lance was also polite, raised his hand and waved his shield to block the sharp claws, and at the same time the ax in his right hand slashed over, but he didn't expect the cult fighter to respond by raising his hand and waving his sharp claws to block it.

There was a crisp sound when the steel collided, and Lance's strength was still far better than that of him directly pressing down on the sharp claws, and hastily drew a bloody mouth on it.

But the injury didn't make it cry out in pain, on the contrary, it laughed wildly, and the wounds on the body actually germinated between breaths, and the naked eye could see that they were recovering from each other.

But in an instant, Lance felt something was wrong. He didn't know how many cultists he had killed before, and he knew a little about these guys.

The general level of cult fighters is actually stronger than ordinary people.

Those who are stronger have endured the flesh and blood ritual more times, which means they have better physique, greater strength, and stronger recovery ability, which is not too much beyond the concept of human beings.

Only those cores implanted with [seeds] can be regarded as threats.

But the ax just now should be able to decapitate it, but it only caused this damage, and the recovery speed was not right.

"Be careful! They are not ordinary cult members, kill the cult wizards first."

Lance reacted immediately to remind them, but the battle with the cult fighters did not stop at all.

In just two or three seconds, the two sides fought many times, and the sound of metal collisions kept ringing.

Boudica couldn't control so much. He raised his halberd and charged towards an enemy. He quickly stepped over Lance and moved forward from the second position.

The enemy crossed its arms and folded its claws to block the blow, but it still underestimated Boudica's strength and the power of the charge.

The two claws were directly knocked away by the tip of the halberd, and then pierced hard into the chest.

Although Boudica is usually careless, she is very powerful in battle.

The moment she inserted it, she took a heavy step forward, feeling the feedback from the ground, the muscles all over her body tensed and exploded with powerful force, and the muscle protrusions on her bare arms were clearly defined.

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

The halberd was lifted up, and the cultist was actually picked up, and then he threw it out with his backhand.

Just now, she has seen that most of the chest cavity of the cultist has been cut open. This kind of injury will peel off layers of skin even if they don't die.

After the outbreak just now, Boudica was exhausted, but during the two or three seconds she was panting, the guy got up from the ground again, and there was no wound on his chest except for the blood.

At this time, Boudica also understood why the boss had to shout that sentence just now...

"Be careful!" Disma shouted suddenly.

Only then did Boudica realize that he had rushed too far, and the cultist on the other side was also waving his claws at him...
