This... seems to be more than just a human face.
Going out, Luke found that there was a huge circular pit in front of him. Along the stone wall surrounded by the huge pit, there were dark caves scattered in a patchwork manner.
When he came to the edge and looked down, Luke found that there were still an unknown number of layers below. Because of the light, he could barely see the lower layers clearly.
And the face that surprised Luke just now is not just a simple face, it is carved in stone, and it seems to be some kind of god.
This god who doesn't know what it is called looks like a man, with an extremely cold appearance.He held a thick stone book in his right hand and a bloody knife in his left, both of which were held flat against his chest so Luke could see clearly.
He should be located on the bottom floor, and because Luke and the others are currently on the top floor, Luke saw this huge human face staring at him as soon as he opened the door.
"This...is amazing." Xiya who followed her out couldn't help but admire.
"Amazing."
"What kind of idol is this?"
"........."
Seeing this huge statue, everyone became excited all of a sudden, chattering and discussing.
For the sake of safety, Luke let everyone take a rest first, and then he came to Yako Kuroko.The latter was standing on the edge looking at the statue, thoughtful.
"Do you know who this is?" Luke asked
road.Yazi Heigong shook his head, "No, I don't know them at all. There are many gods enshrined in the legend of nothingness, but most of them are evil gods without names and origins. That should be the case."
"Cthulhu..." Luke felt a little uncomfortable.
She could feel that since stepping here, the recovery speed of her power of nothingness was obviously more than twice that of the outside.
This means that the concentration of the power of nothingness inside is much higher than that outside, and it also means that something is attracting the power of nothingness, making it not want to leave here.
To be honest, Luke didn't think this was a good thing.
"But there is a need to investigate here, Ke, I want to call that girl named Kyoko Kirikiri to investigate with me, will you come too?"
Yako Kuromiya, who seemed to have given up thinking, extended an olive branch to Luke.
"Of course." Luke agreed.
Although Yako Kurogong has a certain strength due to the existence of the vain arm, her physical skills are so good that it can almost be described as unsightly.If she only brought Mistcut, it would be really hard for Luke to trust her, so he simply went with her.
Calling Kirigiri, under the instruction of Kuromiya Yako, Luke led the way into the nearest cave.
The purple light illuminated the cave, and a terrifying scene immediately appeared in Luke's eyes.
I saw a distorted and hideous face, a naked, dark red mummy, pierced by a sharp wooden stake from the chrysanthemum to the mouth.Moreover, several pieces of flesh were obviously missing from his body. His thighs, chest, and twenty fingers (including hands and feet) were all missing.
The blood that flowed from his body dripped into the strange stone-carved depressions around his body.The symbol is surrounded by a circle, and the twisted reptile-like symbol extends from under the mummy to the edge of the circle.
"It's too miserable..." Wuqie Xiangzi's expression became serious. Although the mummy didn't emit any strange smell, she still felt very sick.
Fortunately, in the zombie apocalypse, Wuqie Xiangzi's corpse has been seen quite a lot, so he won't feel sick when he sees this thing.
At this moment, Kyouko Wukiri felt someone poke her waist, and turned her head to see the expressionless Kuromiya Yako: "Kyokiri, come with me, I need your brain."
"Ah good."
Although Yako Kuromiya felt that the way she spoke was weird, Kyouko Kirikiri didn't think too much, and obediently followed Yako Kuromiya, investigating the entire cave.
Because there was no material in this regard, Luke had to watch from the side, and was responsible for guarding the surroundings by the way.
The whole cave is actually not that big, there is a wall one meter behind the mummy, and there is nothing else at all.
However, it is worth noting that the walls throughout the cave are carved with inscriptions of nothingness.
Is this a spell, or...?
After waiting for a while, Kuromiya Yako came to Luke.But this time, Luke saw some seriousness in the eyes of the Black Palace: "Ke, it's not good, I'm afraid this is really a gathering place for some kind of cult."
"What did you find?" Luke asked.
"On the wall..." Heigong Yazi pointed to the words engraved on the surrounding walls, and said: "All of them are ritual incantations and prayers to the gods. That corpse is also a living sacrifice. The one outside Idols are the gods they serve."
"Its name is—God of Immortality and Absoluteness, Amuel Kajipot."
Chapter 39 Blood Blade Chapter - Aversion to Cold
Hearing this strange name, Luke didn't know why he had goosebumps all over his body, and asked again: "Amuel Caggie Potter? Are there other things recorded on this wall?"
"No, there are mostly incantations on the wall, which are mixed with the priest's prayers to the gods. I really didn't see anything else." Heigong Mizi replied.
The two were talking, but they never thought that a blurry figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the cave.
? !
Using the light to go, Luke found that it was Pez who was a little confused: "Lu? What's the matter with you? Did you find anything? I want to ask if you want to continue down?"
After finishing speaking, Pez's eyes lit up, and he saw the mummy who had died tragically in the cave.She stepped forward, smacking her lips and showing a little excitement: "Hoho, it's incredible, this is really amazing."
"Enough." Luke helplessly supported his forehead, and said, "Did you find the way down?" Pez replied, "Ah, indeed, I walked around the edge of the pit and found that there is a road on the other side. There is a staircase leading to the bottom, and it is quite strong after trying it.”
"Then let's go." Just as Luke was about to leave, he thought of Heigong again, turned his head and asked Heigong Mizi: "Mizi, have you finished your investigation?"
"No, there's nothing more here."
Hearing this, Luke walked out of the cave and asked Pez to go back to the others and wait for a while.He brought Yako Kuromiya and Kyoko Kirikiri to investigate each cave one by one.
But the bad news is that every cave on this level is the same.
People offering sacrifices, strange spells, divine prayers... all exactly the same...
If there was any real difference, Yako Kuromiya saw a newspaper covered in dried blood on the ground in one of the caves.
The first thing to say here is that Luke is not sure if this is a newspaper, but it is very similar, so I will describe it as a newspaper for the time being.
There is a message on it, the title is like this - "The enemy of the blood blade, the punishment he deserves, all the protesters in the Ruochi parade have been executed"
Below the title, an event was succinctly described:
Roughly speaking, Ruochi (unknown
Place name) Somewhere dissatisfied with the act of offering sacrifices to the gods, a parade broke out in protest.The Ruochi local government quickly suppressed and captured all the protesters, all of whom were tortured for brain digging.
This information does not include pictures, but the text description alone is chilling.
Luke didn't know where Ruochi was, so he let it go.
There is another key word in the message - blood blade.This word even appeared in the message carved on the wall that Yako Kuromiya noticed before, but... what does it mean?
a religion?Still an organization?
If he wants to know the truth, Luke must obtain more information.
……
After the rest, a group of people came to the stairs that Pez found. After Luke confirmed that the stairs would not break suddenly, they went down one by one.
And the floor below, except that there is no door like Luke and the others, looks the same as the previous floor.
In order to figure out everything here, Luke had to let Yako Kuromiya continue their investigation to obtain information.
After assigning manpower, everyone divided into several teams to explore the cave and look for unusual things.
However, more than ten minutes passed, and Luke and the others found nothing, and found nothing.
Yako Kuromiya, who noticed something, proposed to give up this search, because she already knew that this is the place where the gods are sacrificed, and it is unlikely to find any strange things.
At the moment, it should be to see if we can go to the bottom and see if there are other places.
Although Luke was a little frustrated, he had to admit that Yako Kuromiya was right, so he focused on going to the bottom.
This was a very difficult process, because after going down nine floors, Luke found that there was still a dark pit underneath.
At this juncture, Luke couldn't back down, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue down.
Finally, after going down a full 17 floors, Luke and his party came to the bottom.If you add the floor they came from, it will be 18 floors high.
The terrain here is empty, and a podium is located in front of the feet of the god statue. There is a layer of bright red cloth between the two, but it has been covered by thick dust.
A dense circle of skeletons surrounded the statue's feet, and most of them dropped a bloody knife beside them.Although it is easy to realize that there is a high probability of death due to knife wounds, it is impossible to know why.
Leaving aside these weird things, Luke found two long-lost doors not far away.She walked to one of the doors and found that the door was broken, and the back was full of stones. Obviously, the road was blocked.
Leading the others to another door, Luke found that the door was obviously intact, and it was concealed and unlocked.
Carefully pushing the door open, Luke could clearly see a dusty corridor outside. Because the light was blocked at the corner, he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Master Luke, let me open the way for everyone." Xiya, hoping to show something, drew out her sword, and then walked in first with Luke's consent, and the others followed behind Shiya.
The aisles are covered with thick dust, and it seems that they have not been cleaned for hundreds of years. Just taking a step will stir up a large cloud of dust, which will make people cough again and again.
Luke, who has a very strong physique, didn't have much reaction, but he didn't like this situation very much.
Although his favorite disciple Shiya is very strong, Luke is still subconsciously vigilant about his surroundings.
When Shiya was about to walk around the corner, Luke suddenly felt a strong unease.She grabbed Xiya's clothes and said, "Wait a minute, Xiya, I think I should go ahead."
Xiya smiled and said, "What's the matter, master, are you worried about me? Don't worry, Xiya can protect herself well."
"No... I just..." Luke didn't want his apprentice to feel that he looked down on her.
While he was organizing his words, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the corner and screamed, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The black shadow is as fast as the wind, and it seems to be holding a sharp blade in his hand, shining with a faint cold light.Because the speed was too fast, although Xiya heard the sound, she didn't react.
But not Luke, she was keeping an eye on the vicinity.
"........."
Quickly pulling Xiya into his arms, distanced him from the shadow.Luke drew the sword with his left hand, and the sword of fanaticism was unsheathed. The extremely hard sword blocked the black shadow attack that was sneaking up on Shiya with lightning speed.
"Crack!"
The collision between the sharp blades sparked a spark.
"Not broken?" Luke was secretly surprised that Sombra's weapon could block the sword of fanaticism.
But that's not all, Luke didn't think about killing Sombra with the Sword of Frenzy alone.
Pushing Shiya aside, Luke quickly charged forward, and the Sword of Frenzy hit the shadow quickly, immediately splashing an unknown viscous liquid, exuding a terrible stench.
"Aww..." The black shadow was in pain, and just wanted to run around the corner, but it never occurred to Luke that he didn't want him to run away.She flew forward and kicked the black shadow's torso fiercely, and the latter hit the wall hard with a "bang", stirring up a cloud of dust.
This kick hit, Luke didn't like to fight, and quickly backed up.But when the black shadow was about to fight back, Luke struck his torso with a sword again, and when the heavy damage was successful, he backed up again.
But this is not over yet, the second sword, the third sword, the fourth sword...
Whenever Luke hits Sombra, he backs up to gain momentum, and the story goes
Ji Zhongshi attacked forward with another sword, without any change.
And this is also a kind of Mondry swordsmanship in Luke's previous life.
Swordsmanship
This may sound rigid, but Sombra has no chance to resist at all, because Luke's speed is too fast and too accurate.
Even if he could escape by one step, he would be chopped down immediately.
After a while, the body fluids from the beheaded black shadow splashed all over the place, and he fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
"..." Luke stepped forward in silence, and stabbed several times with the sword of fanaticism before putting away the sword.
With the light in his hand, Luke found that the black shadow attacking them was a scrawny, bald person with no hair on his body, like a bone.
But what is horrifying is that the entire skull of this person has been flying without wings, and the brain inside is also gone.
Chapter 40 Blood Blade - Darkness and Retrograde
"This..." Luke frowned, knelt down and looked at this extremely weird person carefully.
As mentioned above, the skull of this person has disappeared, and all the brain inside is gone.The incision of the skull is smooth and flat, and it should have been cut by some professional tool.
The man's weapon was a sharp knife stained with blood, the blood had completely dried up and turned dark brown.Luke wanted to pick up the knife, but he didn't expect that the sharp knife would be reduced to ashes as soon as he touched it.
The bodily fluid that this person splashed on the wall before was also a very strange crimson liquid.It looked so viscous and foul-smelling that Luke didn't want to touch it.
Then at this moment, Luke noticed a pattern tattooed on the left arm of the corpse-a fist holding a ball of fire.
What does it mean?Luke didn't know.
