Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month.

Chapter 193 Going alone, there is no retreat (two more)

On the weathered plaque, there is only one four-character rule written in blood-colored characters.

"Do not enter the living!"

However, just this line of text reveals a frightening meaning.

The ghost ship stopped on the shore reef.

The sailors untied the chain and used it as a chain bridge to connect to the ground.Those who are agile can slide down directly from the cableway.

In the middle of the rocky rocks, there is a plank road leading directly to the island, across to the dark gate at the end.

From a distance, the door looks like a huge mouth of an abyss, as if it wants to swallow food.

Everyone came to the entrance of the trestle bridge.

You only need to look down, and you can see the blood-colored words written on the plaque next to it.

These are the rules of that island.

Its name is Shengshou Village. Seeing this title makes people feel that it is not a good omen.

Agaka controlled the strong wind and dragged the bodies of several players to the vicinity of the plaque.

As soon as Chen Xi stood firmly on the ground, her clear eyes fell on the plaque, and her two willow eyebrows immediately frowned, and said in a deep voice:

"The living are not to enter... Does that mean that as long as we enter that village, the taboo will be triggered?"

"Yes." Agaka nodded slowly, "It is said that the island where the Dragon God Festival is held is originally an island that does not belong to the living. Only the witch who is given the key can go there."

"Since ancient times, if our Sea God Clan needs to hold a ceremony, it is always done by the witches. Just like today, the descendants of the Sea Gods are responsible for driving the ghost ship and escorting the witches to their destinations."

"There used to be a few disobedient descendants of the sea god who secretly went to that village while the witch was going to sacrifice."

"result……"

"They were left there forever!"

The last sentence exudes a sense of horror.

Chen Xi, Matthew and the others looked at each other, they didn't expect the village where the Dragon God Festival was held to be so scary!
There is only one rule -

"Do not enter the living!"

However, just such a rule is enough to dissuade most of the comers.

Matthew frowned and said, "Then if we go in...won't we stay there forever?"

This can't help but make people wonder.

Since the rule is "the living shall not enter", are they going to use their lives to make up for it?

Agaka sighed, and said: "In fact, our Sea God Clan has not held dragon god sacrifices for 300 years... The cleavage of witches also began 300 years ago. Regarding the rules of this island, only Leaving a legend, in fact we don't know that the living are forbidden to enter here."

The crowd fell silent.

But then, Agaka solemnly said with determination: "But even with this taboo rule, in order to make up for the mistakes made by our family, I am willing to go to the island in person, even if I never come back..."

"That's right!"

"We are willing to go there too!"

"As the Sea God Clan, with the blood of the Sea God flowing, we will be responsible for everything we do."

The children of the Sea God around him looked firm, as if they had already made up their minds.

From the moment they were willing to embark on this dangerous voyage, they had already made a plan that they would never return.

The fighting blood of the Sea God Clan flows, and will not shrink back from the fear of death.

But at this moment, the bishop in white beside him frowned and said:

"Sorry, the task given to us by the Holy Church is only to protect and assist this part of the journey."

"The church is still at a critical moment of life and death. We need to retain this power, and we also have the responsibility to protect the saint."

"Forgive me for not being able to go with you."

Another voice from the Lieyang Church caused disagreements among the people present.

Obviously, the bishop in white did not intend to go in and die.

In addition to solving the pollution, they give priority to protecting the saint Dawn.

Naturally, it is impossible to bring the saint into such a dangerous restricted area.

Dawn also fell silent.

If this rule is indeed that the living should not enter, then if you enter it by yourself, you will bear a great risk of death.

As a player, you need to prioritize your own survival.

"You who are greedy for life and afraid of death, if you want to go back, then go back by yourself!" A tall and thin Sea God clan sneered, "However, without us controlling the ghost ship, I don't know if you can go back! "

"You despise the Church! Despise the authority of the Lord!"

The purple-robed bishop's face turned cold, and he stepped forward, exuding a sense of oppression.

Faced with this coercion, the descendants of the Sea God held spears and swords, and rushed forward aggressively, their swords drawn.

Those descendants of the Sea God wouldn't even be afraid of death. How could they be afraid of a little bishop after fighting even more terrifying deep-sea monsters all the way here?

The two waves of anger came from different forces, and they fought against each other and refused to give in to each other.

"Okay." Chen Ye's voice suddenly broke the deadlock, and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to go in. For this operation, it is enough for me to go in."

"Young man, are you sure as long as you go in alone?" Agaka's words were full of worry and doubt.

"That's right." Chen Ye nodded and said, "According to the legend of your witch, it can be inferred that it's not that the living are not allowed to enter, but that a ticket is needed."

"Witch, you have the key to open the two worlds, this is one of the tickets."

"You don't have tickets, and I may not be able to bring you out after entering, and it may even get in the way."

"But I have the key, it's enough to entrust this operation to me, you go back."

In fact, Chen Ye observed the island with the pupil of luck.

Suspended in the halo of luck around him, the golden star became brighter and closer.

At this moment, the golden stars split into a long bridge made of golden horses, which seems to be connected to this plank road, leading to the dark gate of Shengke Village.

Right above the island, surrounded by a boundless black vortex, the black mist gushed out, covering the bodies of the surrounding people, as if to engulf them.

But only when it fell on him, the golden star burst out with brilliance, dispelling the black mist, leaving a glimmer of life.

I heard Agaka's legend about the Dragon God Festival...

Chen Ye can be sure that only he can enter and leave this island through the key of the spirit world.

Other existences going here may not necessarily bring help to themselves, judging by the halo of luck, it may also trigger unnecessary troubles.

Chen Xi frowned, and said worriedly: "Then we are all leaving, how should you come out then?"

Without the ghost ship, with the strength of Chen Ye alone, can such a large sea of ​​dead bodies really come out?

Even if the other party has the key to the spirit world...

But to finish such a long distance, I am afraid it is not a simple matter, right?
Chen Ye said with a smile: "I don't know, but maybe if I can destroy the things inside and get the power of the gods, there will be a glimmer of life."

Chen Xi's eyes moved when he heard the word 'the authority of the gods'.

For a moment...

She wanted to find a reason to go in with Chen Ye.

However, when this idea just appeared in his mind, a cold feeling suddenly came from his spine, as if he was about to fall into the river of death!
"This feeling..." Chen Xi was startled.

My astral body, after practicing, has enhanced perception.

The sixth sense is much stronger than ordinary existence, and it will have a natural perception of death and crisis.

Similar to the aborigines, they have a natural instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, but they are more obvious and active.

At this moment, the members of the clergy of Lieyang Church, including the bishop in white, are unwilling to step into the village of living bones because they are afraid of the danger they instinctively perceive.

Get in, then never come out!
Chen Xi's biggest reliance is actually the protection of the white-clothed bishop beside him.

But even the bishop in white was not sure that he could come out of it alive. After entering, it was impossible to rely on Chen Ye to bring him out.

What's more, as the number one on the governance list, she has a certain right to compete for that 'divine power'.

Chen Ye is also a player. Although they are cooperating with each other now, the competitive relationship has existed from the beginning to the end.

Chen Xi entered as a player, obviously wanting to compete for opportunities, so how could Chen Ye do what she wanted?

You know, the key to the two worlds is in Chen Ye's hands.

If you follow the opponent in, the initiative is completely in the hands of other players. For players, letting their lives be controlled by other players is a taboo among taboos.

No matter how familiar the other party is, even the closest and most trusted person cannot do this.

This is the principle of being a player.

In fact...

When Chen Ye uttered the words 'the authority of the gods', it was already a kind reminder to persuade Chen Xi to leave.

If you want to keep up, you must have the idea of ​​​​mortal death.

Many possibilities came to Chen Xi's mind, but they were all rejected in the end. In the end, he just sighed and said:
"All right……"

The eyes of the other sea god descendants fell on Agaka in unison, as if they were asking questions with their eyes.

Ajiaka glanced at Chen Ye and sighed:
"You're right, let's go."

The mighty descendants of the sea god returned to the ghost ship from the iron chain above.

On the rudder, Ajieff put his hands on the steering wheel again, and his eyes fell on his father with puzzlement:
"Father, are we really not going in? What if the young man can't solve the ritual? Then wouldn't our trip be in vain?"

Agaka shook his head and said, "No...you are wrong."

"Since ancient times, the Dragon God Ceremony has been something that only witches can take charge of. At most, we are just supporting."

"That young man holds the key. If he can't do it, then we can't do it either."

"If we go in with the belief that we must die, the most we can do is assist the other party, but this is only the ideal state. In fact, not only may we not be able to help, but we may also cause trouble."

"Besides, our Sea God Clan suffered such a severe blow last time, and lost a patriarch. We can't kill any more children. We must think about the entire Sea God Clan."

"My child, sometimes you can't face this world with only fire, but also with wisdom, strategy, and enough calmness..."

…………

Near the trestle.

Everyone had already left, only the figure of the bishop in white was still standing behind Chen Ye.

"Aren't you on the boat yet?" Chen Ye smiled, "I've stopped playing, and the ghost ship will automatically fall back to the present world after two to three minutes at most, exiting the Sea of ​​Dead Wrecks."

The bishop in white took out a wooden box and said slowly:

"Before the Holy Church left, he explained one thing."

"If you can come to the gate of that village, and you choose to go alone, then this item will be handed over to you."

"Now is the time to do what the Holy Faith says."

Chen Ye took the wooden box and opened it.

There was only a silver dagger emitting faint light. The blade had a unique structure and was shaped like lightning.

"Holy mercury?"

Chen Ye's eyes fell on the dagger, and he couldn't help being surprised:

"This is one of the most precious holy relic props of the Lieyang Church, just leave it to me."

According to legend, the dagger of the holy mercury can undo all curses in the world, even the monstrous ghost array formed by sacrificing hundreds of millions of souls can be destroyed by a single blow.

"It is indeed the most precious." The bishop in white smiled, "but it is just a fake. Although it is also very precious, it is not that precious and can only be used once."

"I see." Chen Ye smiled wryly.

Also, how could the Lieyang Church, which has always been stingy, give away the real [Holy Mercury] at will?

But I have to say, because of this stingy personality, they have strong research and development capabilities, and they are able to create many fakes.

In this way, you won't be so stingy, and you can be a little more generous... When sending fakes!
The bishop in white left, and followed the mighty army to board the ghost ship, turning into a mirage-like phantom, gradually melting, and returning to the present world.

Chen Ye was the only one left, standing alone on the trestle bridge, looking up, he could see the gate of the living corpse village that said "no one should enter", and looking back, there was a vast sea of ​​dead corpses, with no exit, no end, no way out... …

The corners of Chen Ye's mouth slightly curled up, and he murmured:

"The real strategy begins!"
