Jiang Bai held down Mandrill, who was about to go down to clean up the black mud. "Drill, don't move, let's do it!"
Mandrill frowned.
He is not some hothouse flower that needs to be protected.
It's just the power of the abyss, it's not like I haven't faced it before.
Jiang Bai's protective posture made him feel very uncomfortable.
"Shangxian Mandrill, you don't need to take action on such a trivial matter. The two of us can handle it quickly. When we encounter a truly dangerous enemy, it won't be too late for you to take action. Is that right?"
Jiang Bai put his arm around Kong's shoulders and winked at him.
Sora nodded, "Well, we can handle it, trust us."
Although I don’t understand why Jiang Bai doesn’t want Mandrill to take action, Paimon still agrees with dignity:
"Yes, they can resolve this small situation quickly!"
"Paimon, you and Mandrill are here to hold the place for us, and we'll come as soon as we go."
Purifying the black mud is not difficult, just use the energy emitted by the Lumen Stone to dissipate the black mud.
The difficulty is that the black mud itself contains great pollution. Even if it is protected by the Eye of God, it will be affected if it stays for a long time.
The mandrill itself will be eroded by karma. When this black mud comes into contact with the body, it will hinder the flow of elemental power. When the two forces collide, it will cause severe pain. However, this is only an impact on the body. These dirty forces also affect the body. It will silently affect the spirit.
However, Mandrill is still the kind of person who won't tell when he is injured. God knows how much impact these abyssal powers will have on him, so try not to let him do it if you can.
The black mud below was very dense. Jiang Bai was suspended in the air and tried not to come into contact with the black mud. Although the black mud did not affect him, the disgusting and sticky feeling was still quite uncomfortable.
Fortunately, this black mud is just a substance produced by the confrontation between the power of the abyss and the crystal. It is not real silt and has no smell. Otherwise, Jiang Bai would have to consider closing his sense of smell.
"There is a strange device here." Sora noticed the abnormality.
The lumen stone catalyst in his hand purified the dirt faster than the Hantian Nail fragments carried by Jiang Bai. After purifying a large piece of sludge, a strange device was exposed.
This device was buried deep in the soil, with strange runes carved on it. The crystals that were supposed to glow on it were now dim.
He tried to activate the energy of the Lumen Stone Catalyst, and as the light bloomed, the device emitted pure blue light.
Tangible light surged and connected with the fragments floating in the sky, making the crystal's light suddenly brighter.
"Huh? This device is used to stabilize this fragment?"
But who exactly put it here?
"careful!"
A rock elemental bullet flew past Kong and hit the spear that pierced out.
boom!
Another bullet flew past, and the dark figure holding the weapon was directly blasted into the black mud.
Holding the sword in his hand, Sora turned his head instantly.
"who!"
The figure that suddenly appeared was wearing full body armor and exuded the same aura as the black mud.
He struggled to get up from the ground.
Incomprehensible words murmuring from the mouth.
"How dare you stop us from purifying the filth in the sky with our sacred blood!"
"who are you?"
This dark figure did not answer Sora's question. He seemed to have lost too much of his consciousness, leaving only some instincts.
"Those who transgress must be eliminated!"
As his voice sounded, the dark aura on his body became stronger and stronger, and the armor that was originally seriously injured by Jiang Bai's shot quickly recovered.
He held a spear and fired into the air again.
In the mine tunnel above, Mandrill and Paimon watched Sora fight the enemy that suddenly appeared.
"What is that black figure? It seems to be hiding in the ruins nearby, and it suddenly appeared..."
Paimon dragged his cheek with his small hand and frowned.
"It's a human being, and it's not a human being."
"What do you mean?" Paimon looked at Mandrill blankly.
Mandrill looked down and shook his head slightly, "His consciousness is still human, but his body has become a monster."
Paimon leaned back and hugged his arms, "Is it actually a monster turned into a human? It's so scary..."
Like Mandrill, Kong didn't immediately see the nature of the enemy in front of him. He responded to the opponent's attack while asking:
"Who are you? What does sacred blood mean? Why do you call this crystal a filthy thing?"
The answer is empty, only one word.
"die!"
"There is no way to communicate, so knock it down first and see if it can be purified!"
"Um."
Under Sora's attack, the black figure was quickly defeated.
Kong originally wanted to save him a breath, but this man no longer had the instinct of a creature, and even flesh and blood could not be seen in the armor.
It's as if the person has died completely, and the consciousness is attached to the armor. It will either completely dissipate, or it will continue to fight, and there is no possibility of breathing.
Kong had no choice but to activate the energy of the Lumen Stone catalyst before he continued to absorb this filthy power and attack again.
Under the pure light, bursts of black smoke came out of the armor, and at the same time, there was the painful scream.
It was as if his consciousness had been torn apart abruptly, and in the severe pain, he actually regained some clarity.
He looked at Sora's long golden hair and saw another person in a trance.
"Stranger... Disaster... No, this is His Majesty's dark curse... It is our sin..."
"The punishment of the sky...the nail of punishment...the lingering..."
Leaving behind these last few words, the dark figure was purified and disappeared like the black mud.
"What do you mean? Your Majesty? What Your Majesty?" Jiang Bai was confused.
Kong shook his head, "I don't know. Judging from the situation, there may be man-made reasons for the changes in the ground."
Jiang Bai nodded and looked at the lighted device aside.
"Well, this device connected to the crystal must have been deliberately contaminated by them."
There is currently too little information, and it is difficult to draw any useful clues from just a few words from the other party.
The top priority is to purify this black mud.
"Ignore this for now, look for other devices like this, and clean up all the black mud here."
Jiang Bai and Kong quickly found the other two devices. Just as they were dispersing the black mud around them, a space crack suddenly appeared.
The two apostles of the abyss walked out of it and launched an attack directly without any unnecessary nonsense.
"Okay, I knew it! It's your Abyss Cult's fault again."
Jiang Bai has long felt that the changes in the abyss are related to the Abyss Order. Guys like the Abyss Order are always thinking about letting the abyss erode the entire world.
Jiang Bai became extremely angry when he thought about the possible consequences of this.
