"Xiaohu! Find some firewood and light a fire at the door! Hurry!"
Chen Yao, who quickly exited, quickly ordered.
"oh."
Jiang Hu quickly brought a pile of firewood he had collected from the camp site and built a fire around the door. Chen Yao lit it with his palm.
The small green on the shoulder continues to exude a light light.
"Okay, you can stop now. Thank you for your hard work, little one."
Chen Yao pressed Xiao Qing's little head. He used to think this guy was ugly and cute, but after this incident, Chen Yao's love for him rose to a new level.
It is no exaggeration to say that it just saved Chen Yao's life, and the most important point is that Chen Yao found the weakness of the black mist and the monster.
The little guy spit out the letter in response, then fell down and lay on Chen Yao's shoulder, seeming very tired.
Several people sat around the fire. Yue Li glanced inside worriedly, seeming a little scared. They were all confused about what happened just now. The strange black mist seemed to be able to block the sound to a certain extent.
Chen Yao roughly recounted what happened before, and several people's faces became a little solemn after listening.
"Brother, did you really not see what that thing was?"
"No, it's probably a monster that we have never seen before and the village has never recorded it."
"So it seems that it is afraid of fire and light?"
Qiu Yunxi held his chin in his hands and stared at the fire.
"Yes, otherwise it wouldn't knock off my torch. To be precise, the black mist inside will pollute ordinary people, and it can block light and sound, and even suppress flames, but hey hey hey..."
"Ah! Brother Yao, just now you said that Xiaoqing can shine, just like the light of my life, is it true?!"
Qiu Yueli grabbed Chen Yao's arm.
"Yes, it's probably because Lili's mother used the Light of Life when she was hatched, which caused some mutations in Xiaoqing. The Light of Life she used was very weak, but it was enough..."
"Brother~"
Yue Li shook Chen Yao's arm vigorously and said reluctantly.
"Okay, okay, anyway, the old village chief said that there is a restraint relationship between attributes. The monsters and black mist inside should all belong to the dark attribute, because Xiaoqing's weak life energy can easily dispel them, so this It must be this monster’s weakness!”
"However, the sense of crisis this monster gives me... is very strong, and it is difficult for us to deal with it..."
Chen Yao remembered the moment when he didn't dare to turn around. It was not an illusion, but an instinct.
"Then what should we do, brother."
"Killing it is a wishful thinking, but I want to see what is in the ruins. If Lili and Xiaoqing take turns using the light of life to disperse the black fog, it should be no problem to explore."
At this time, Xiao Qing on his shoulder suddenly jumped to the ground and turned over. Chen Yao watched the little guy scratching his shriveled belly and immediately understood what it meant.
"Lili, are there any berries left from before?"
"Yes, there are many more."
"Take out a few. You're such a mother. You forgot to feed it."
"Ah! I forgot!"
Qiu Yueli took out a few berries from the binding ring and held Xiaoqing in her hands.
"Eat, eat! Xiaoqing, be good~"
The little guy finished the berries one by one and lay down comfortably without moving.
Chen Yao took the little guy again and put it on his shoulder. The little guy will be of great use later.
"Lili, if you continue to release the light of life, how long can you last at most?"
"Well, the last time I treated Brother Yao, my head started to feel dizzy after I lasted about two minutes."
"Then try to release a weaker light of life now."
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Qiu Yueli stood up straight, and a faint green light lit up between her palms gradually changing from strong to weak.
"Very good, you can use this intensity of light of life later."
Chen Yao patted Yue Li's shoulder to signal to stop. After all, when releasing wild skills, every second is a big consumption.
"When we go in later, Lili will stand in the middle. Xiaohu and I will watch the left and right sides. Leave the rear to Yun Xi. Okay, let's go."
Several people felt a little uncomfortable as soon as they entered, and the black mist that had been dispersed covered the area around the entrance again.
"Be careful. Lili, let's get started."
As Qiu Yueli's light of life turned on, the black fog within five meters of the surrounding area was instantly dispelled. Several people moved forward slowly. Chen Yao and Jiang Hu were on alert to the left and right, preparing to deal with dangers that might arise at any time.
After advancing roughly five meters, the black fog dispersed, and a black shadow appeared in front of the few people!
"alert!"
After slowing down their progress and continuing for a short distance, they finally saw clearly what the black shadow was.
"A dead object, an...altar?"
Qiu Yunxi, who had the best eyesight, glanced in front of his eyes and said uncertainly.
When several people were about to step forward, a roar suddenly sounded!
"Hi!tik.tik..kkkk.."
Following the direction of the sound, Chen Yao discovered the source of the sound.
I saw a huge black shadow clinging to the top of the building with strange patterns carved on it in a strange manner just above the altar!
This monster is completely black and consists of a large mouth and several thick tentacles. There are three main eyes above the mouth. In addition, there are countless eyes of different sizes arranged chaotically on several barbed tentacles.
But at this time, this monster is squirming in pain! The part of its body that was illuminated by the light of life seemed to be dissolved, and white smoke was emitting from it. Coupled with the fact that countless eyes all over the body opened and closed randomly, what a chaotic picture it was!
"The appearance of this monster is exactly the same as the black shadow summoned by Blacksmith Li in the ritual! It is the source of pollution!"
Chen Yao felt a little uncomfortable at the moment. Looking directly at the monster made him feel extremely uncomfortable. However, in order to be on guard, he had to stare at the monster closely. The other people were not much better. Qiu Yueli even closed his eyes in fear. Eye.
"Open your eyes, have you forgotten what I told you before?"
After being reminded, Yue Li could only open her eyes, but she still didn't dare to look directly at the thing.
"Lili, let the light of life be richer."
Chen Yao stared at the wildly twisting monster with a serious look on his face.
As the light of life becomes more intense, the illumination range also becomes larger, the black mist disperses, and the entire enclosed dark space gradually reveals its true appearance.
Chen Yao looked around. This was a space of about thirty or forty square meters. In addition to the exit behind him and the altar in front of him, there was actually a door at the end of the space. At this moment, two half-open stone doors were open to the outside. Such a rich light of life cannot even penetrate into it!
"Move forward slowly and force it back into the corner!"
At this moment, Chen Yao couldn't think any more. The richer light of life meant that Qiu Yueli's persistence time would be greatly shortened!
Under such intense light of life, the monster twists more and more. It is obviously in extreme pain now!
Finally unable to hold on any longer, the monster roared and quickly retreated, finally shrinking into the unknown space behind the stone door.
"Xiaohu! Go and close the stone gate!"
Jiang Hu, who took the order, quickly activated his wild skills, tightly grasped the stone door on one side with both hands, and closed it little by little, followed by the other side.
"boom!"
As another stone door closed heavily, the uneasiness felt by several people slowly faded away.
"Yunxi Xiaohu, protect them, Lili, come on, hold on a little longer!"
Jiang Hu was pressing his arms heavily on the stone door to prevent the monster from appearing again, while Qiu Yunxi was guarding Yue Li who continued to cast the light of life.
After spending so much money, we must not return empty-handed this time. There must be something strange about the altar guarded by this monster! Chen Yao thought so in his heart.
"Xiaoqing, I have to work hard for you again."
Chen Yao nodded the little guy's head with his finger. The little guy shook his tail, and his whole body began to emit a faint green light.
Quickly returning to the altar, Chen Yao began to observe the altar with the help of the faint light released by Xiao Qing.
In front of you is a stone platform composed of a cylindrical base and a cube support. On the top of the stone platform stands a strange statue. The statue is composed of several entangled tentacles. The overall shape extends vertically upward.
There is some dark brown soil-like material around the stone platform, with a few black and red weeds growing on it.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Yao tried to touch the tentacle statue with his hand...
A moment! Countless distorted images filled with black mist poured into his mind! This impact was as painful as a sharp knife violently stirring up my brain!
Chen Yao gritted his teeth, trying to see these pictures clearly. As soon as this idea appeared, just a moment later, these distorted pictures were shattered and reorganized, and then they became clear, and Chen Yao began to interpret them seriously. ..
In the picture, six strange men in black robes poured into a closed space. The leader carefully held a tentacle statue, and then came to a stone platform in the center of the space. There was another statue on the stone platform. Statue, but Chen Yao couldn't see clearly what the statue looked like.
A man in black robes on the side picked up the statue on the stone platform and threw it to the ground. The statue fell into pieces in an instant.
The leader quickly and reverently placed the statue upright on the stone platform, and lit six candles around the altar. Then he took out a knife and cut his wrist. Regardless of the pain of the blood spraying, he quickly He began to carve a ring with his own blood around the stone platform, and after embedding a square in the ring, he fell to the ground due to excessive blood loss.
What shocked Chen Yao was that the second man in black robe quickly stepped forward to pick up the knife, and continued to carve patterns in the same manner until he collapsed from blood loss and shock, followed by the third, fourth, fifth... these Chen Yao was shocked to see the picture.
It wasn't until the fifth black-robed man fell that the mysterious pattern was completed. It was a circular pattern embedded in a square. Within the square pattern were several twisted and entangled tentacles, and at the end of the tentacles was a sheet covered with countless fine fangs. The bloody mouth is somewhat similar to the monster just now.
This was not over yet. The last remaining man in black robe picked up the blood-stained knife and then stabbed it hard into his chest. Perhaps because the force was not enough, it was not until the third knife that he successfully opened his chest.
He struggled and used his last strength to cut out the heart and placed it at the bloody mouth in the center of the design next to the stone platform. The man in black robe moved his mouth, but unfortunately there was no sound on the screen. Chen Yao could not hear what the man in black robe said.
As the last black-robed man fell, the engraved pattern began to violently emit black mist, and then the space above the altar was distorted, and a black door slowly formed...
One, two, three, and then countless tentacles with eyes stretched out from it! A big mouth full of fangs squeezed out of the portal...
The scene stopped abruptly here. When he came back to his senses, Chen Yao was still standing on the same spot and maintaining his previous actions, but he was already immersed in extreme panic!
The danger level of that guy... I'm afraid it has exceeded his expectations! ! !
Gritting his teeth, Chen Yao first put the tentacle statue into the ring. Just as he was about to urge everyone to leave, he seemed to casually glance at the brown soil around the altar.
At this moment, he was stunned, and some... words began to appear in front of his eyes?
--------------------------
Unknown soil: The soil exudes a faint rancid smell. The composition is unknown. There may be something hidden in it. (from special roll)
??Grass: recognition level 20% (from plant knowledge)
A strange plant that grows in extremely dark environments with unknown functions.
--------------------------
? ! ?
Chen Yao looked at the dark brown soil and the plants growing on it with some disbelief. Is this their message? Why do these words suddenly appear? ?
But an uneasy roar and a dull crash interrupted Chen Yao's hesitation.
"Brother! It's hitting the stone door!"
"Brother Yao...I can't hold on anymore..."
At this moment, the green light in Yue Li's palm began to flicker unsteadily...
No time!
Chen Yao rummaged around in the dark brown soil for a few times, grabbed some hard objects, and pulled out all the dark brown plants and stuffed them into the ring.
"Quick! Get out of here!"
Several people hurriedly retreated, and when they had just retreated near the entrance, there was a bang! With a heart-stopping friction sound, the stone door at the back opened!
Just when Chen Yao thought everyone could escape safely, a spine-chilling whisper suddenly came!
"...Sing...Sing...ularly!"
The moment the whisper was recited, everyone's hearts were instantly shrouded in fear! The speed of the monster's movement was not fast, but in the minds of several people, the friction sound caused by the monster's movement and the sense of danger and oppression in their hearts were infinitely amplified. At this moment, no one was able to move their legs, and the exit that was so close became a An insurmountable chasm.
At this moment, fear and despair spread in everyone's heart...
No, you can't sit still and wait for death, you will really die if you continue like this!
At this moment, Chen Yao is desperately resisting the feeling of fear. The people in the village are still waiting for everyone to go back safely, and they haven't secretly finished watching the beautiful night in the Spring Pavilion that the old village chief has collected! Can't die here!
Thinking of this, Chen Yao burst out with a strong desire to survive and bit the tip of his tongue fiercely!
The severe pain made Chen Yao instantly shake off his fear. He turned around and saw that the monster was less than ten meters away from the group of people! At this moment, it was crawling towards a few people at a slow speed. I wonder if it was because the use of Whisper consumed too much.
"Wake up! Wake up!"
Chen Yao shook and shouted violently at several people, but only Qiu Yunxi regained consciousness.
Yue Li collapsed to the ground after being shaken. Qiu Yunxi was in the best condition. When she regained consciousness, she picked up Yue Li and stepped out in two steps.
On the other hand, Jiang Hu's legs were trembling and he still couldn't walk. At this moment, the monster was less than five meters away from Chen Yao, and there were faint signs of accelerating.
Chen Yao, who was so angry that he didn't know where he got the strength from, kicked Jiang Hu on the butt. He kicked him directly out of the entrance and rolled around on the ground before stopping.
At this time, the monster waved its tentacles to grab Chen Yao. The dark and disgusting tentacles actually extended to more than two meters long!
Chen Yao leaned over and rolled out like a donkey. Then he immediately turned around and took out a King of Kings, flipped his hand to ignite it and threw it violently!
The monster seemed to be aware of the danger, and moved several tentacles back a short distance. By coincidence, King Wang Xi drew a beautiful arc in the air and landed next to the monster.
Chen Yao covered his ears and rolled away again, away from the entrance of the historical site.
"boom!"
The Wang Xiwang used this time is a normal model, and the filling dose is twice that of the test product used before! The power and sound were naturally increased a lot. The monster didn't know whether it was frightened or injured. Several tentacles flew around randomly, making a roaring sound. By coincidence, one of the tentacles hit the half-closed stone door on one side. superior.
"Boom! Click!"
A stone door was slammed shut.
"Yes, that's so considerate. You even know how to close the door easily."
Chen Yao shrugged, but he was actually more surprised by the power of this monster. If it hit a person...
The furious monster rushed straight towards the entrance of the monument, but obviously, with its size, it could not pass through the half-open entrance. Unwilling to give up, it stretched out its two tentacles from the entrance, but as soon as it came into contact with the outside light, it roared and shrank back. It turned back, and the roaring sound gradually weakened. It was obvious that it had returned to the depths of darkness.
The voice of Wang Xi also made Jiang Hu, who was sticking his butt out, and Yue Li, whose eyes were still distracted, wake up instantly.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Yue Li's first reaction when she regained consciousness was to cry, while Jiang Hu got up and touched his butt.
"Ouch! It hurts, it hurts..."
The sudden relaxation made Chen Yao suddenly tired for some reason, and it was completely irresistible.
"Xiaohu... let's make a bigger... fire... Hey, I'm sleepy... I'll... sleep first..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Yao, who was sitting on the ground, lay down on his side and fell asleep...
"Hey! Brother! You..."
Chen Yao really fell asleep without wasting a second...
"Ugh...Brother Yao, you idiot! It's so dangerous, you really fell asleep...what a big idiot!"
"Let him sleep, he must be tired."
Qiu Yunxi walked to Chen Yao and knelt down, gently smoothing Chen Yao's messy hair. With her back to the two of them, her eyes were so gentle and different from usual. She didn't know what Chen Yao would do when he saw her. How frightened...
