At the entrance to the crypt,
The old housekeeper wiped the blood stains from his temples and let out a long sigh of relief.
He looked at the mountains of corpses in front of him, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
On the other side, the head of the Xu family, whose robes were stained with blood, stood independently in the wind, looking like a knight-errant.
Unfortunately, his chest heaving violently at this moment exposed the fact that he was tired.
The head of the Xu family and the old housekeeper looked at each other, and they both saw some admiration in each other's eyes.
The fierce battle at the entrance of the cave lasted for a full day.
In this day, no matter how many experts the Xu family head and the old housekeeper put in, they were like a mud cow drowning in the sea, without making any sound at all.
It was not until later, when the head of the Xu family and the old housekeeper personally took action, that the situation of the war gradually changed.
This fierce battle has continued until this moment, and it is finally coming to an end.
Looking at the piles of corpses on the ground, the faces of the old housekeeper and the head of the Xu family didn't look very good.
"Old senior, Yang Dong's power seems to be much stronger than what we guessed."
"Now that I have lost more than half of my manpower, should I consider retreating first and then regrouping before making any plans?"
"After this battle, it shows the depth of the opponent's layout. Facing such an opponent, we should take a long-term approach."
After hearing the words of the head of the Xu family, a look of contemplation appeared on the old housekeeper's cheek.
At this moment, he felt a little uneasy. After all, the secret guards that the old prince left behind were all dead. In addition, after this battle, more than half of the men in his hands were lost.
If he persists any longer, he might really run the risk of being annihilated.
But then he thought about it, what else is he afraid of losing now? From the moment the old prince passed away, his heart also died.
In this case, what are you afraid of losing?
Although the power of Yang Dong's eunuch far exceeded his expectations. But in the battle at the entrance to the catacombs, didn’t he finally win?
What does this mean? It means that the eunuch Yang Dong has reached the end of his strength.
He just had to work hard and continue the attack without giving them a chance to breathe.
It is very possible that today is the day when the great revenge will be avenged!
Thinking of this, the old housekeeper gritted his teeth and said solemnly:
"Head of the Xu family, I think that instead of retreating at this moment, we should face the difficulties and rush into the cave!"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the head of the Xu family and his cronies changed.
Are you kidding me? We have already reached this situation and we still have to face the difficulties and fight our way into it?
I'm afraid you're giving someone away, right?
The old housekeeper felt the doubts from the Xu family, so he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
"Think about it differently. In the battle at the entrance to the cave, we won in the end, didn't we?"
As soon as these words came out, the head of the Xu family showed a look of thought on his face.
Seeing this, the old housekeeper immediately struck while the iron was hot and continued:
"Although we and others suffered more than half the casualties, the eunuch Yang Dong must have suffered even more. If not, why did they give up the entrance they had been defending so desperately?"
"What does this mean? It means that the other party is no longer able to fight with us and can only retreat inside the cave."
After hearing this, the head of the Xu family had a faint flash of light in his eyes.
How could he not know that what the old housekeeper said was true. But...if you choose to continue the attack, there is still a certain risk.
At this moment, the old housekeeper spoke loudly again:
"Does the head of the Xu family still remember what he heard about the grand ceremony from those thieves yesterday?"
"Festival?"
The head of the Xu family frowned slightly, then nodded gently and said:
"That eunuch Yang Dong tried so hard to hide here, isn't it just for the grand ceremony?"
"Old seniors, you think the grand ceremony is just around the corner?"
The old housekeeper smiled noncommittally and continued:
"Otherwise... Yang Dong has no reason to choose to withdraw his troops at this moment. They must be doing this at all costs for today's grand ceremony. But I don't know... what exactly is this grand ceremony that actually made him pay such a price!"
As soon as these words came out, a look of thought flashed across the cheeks of the old housekeeper and the head of the Xu family.
Suddenly, they seemed to remember something at the same time, and their eyes suddenly brightened.
The old housekeeper took a deep look at the head of the Xu family and said in a deep voice:
"It seems that the head of the Xu family must have guessed something."
"I think the seniors have already made their own judgments, right?"
The two looked at each other and smiled, then waved their hands and said: "Everyone listens to the order. After a quarter of an hour's rest, go deep into the cave!"
…
In the cave,
With the dull sound of drums falling,
The crazy cult members gradually calmed down.
The flames in the fire pool were still burning vigorously, swaying in strange dance patterns in the air.
The master of the human altar just clapped his hands gently, and the next moment, the entire cave was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Let's move on to the second item, offering sacrifices!"
As soon as these words came out, the members of the Guild Cult once again fell into a state of madness.
They held the arms of the congregants next to each other and shouted loudly around the fire pool!
It's a pity...the characters they called out were not the characters of the Great Zhou Dynasty or Hou Jin Dynasty, but a kind of characters that Yang Dong had never passed.
The next scene made Yang Dong couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw that along with the crazy chanting of the cultists, the color of the flames in the entire fire pool actually changed!
The orange flame at the beginning turned into a faint blue fire.
According to Yang Dong's knowledge from his previous life, he understood that the blue flame was actually hotter.
But he couldn't figure out why the flames in the fire pool suddenly changed color.
At this moment, a figure appeared, catching Yang Dong's attention.
Different from the black robes worn by other members of the Cult, this figure was wearing a dark red standard robe.
On his chest is a statue of the great god Luo Sheng embroidered in silk.
Under the blue flames, it looked particularly scary.
"Present a sacrifice!"
I don't know who was the first to shout, and then the followers of the Guilty Cult present once again acted like crazy, desperately squeezing out the words "Sacrifice" from their throats.
At the same time, the believers in dark red robes gradually stepped out of the shadows.
And behind him, there was a horse with skin folds and blood flowing everywhere!
Half of the horse's cheek was rotten, and the white bones and rotting worms were faintly visible.
However, behind this horse, a black iron coffin was being pulled.
The color of the iron coffin was like ink, and under the firelight, it gave off a faint cold glow.
Under this cold light, Yang Dong could clearly see a string of liquid flowing slowly along the four corners of the iron coffin...
