Ancient temple.
Deep within the maze.
In a square with no visible edge.
Believers wearing plain linen clothes were kneeling in rows.
Their eyes were covered with black cloth. Although they could not see clearly, they still chanted the name of the God of the Wilderness who had protected them for many years.
"The Most High and Pure Sika Deer God!"
"Protect us from evil."
"On this night with a bright moon in the sky."
“We will take Holy Communion with our brothers and sisters.”
…
The rhythmic chanting sounds one after another.
Many believers were trembling slightly, and some of them put their hands on the ground, trying to hold on to their bodies.
For today's Holy Communion.
Many of them have been starving for days.
But for the deer god to recover.
They are willing to pay this price.
This is what High Priestess Rose told them herself:
"Temporary patience is for a better future."
Many believers are silently comforting themselves in their hearts.
"Everything will be fine."
The chanting continued.
But soon.
An enticing aroma wafted from a corner of the square.
Many people instinctively slowed down their singing.
“God said.”
“Be focused.”
A cold voice sounded in their ears.
Hear this sound.
Most of the believers subconsciously focused their attention and continued to chant the hymn.
Everyone knows.
That was the voice of High Priestess Rose.
I don’t know if it was because of hunger that distracted me.
Many usually devout male believers actually felt that the high priest's voice today contained a hint of unbearable irritation.
Blasphemous panic and anxiety emerged from their hearts.
They dared not think any more.
Just chant silently.
…
In the open square.
There are stone pillars with strange and bizarre creatures carved on them.
High Priestess Rose stood next to one of the stone pillars.
He stared in a daze at the ferocious creature with bared fangs and claws on the stone pillar.
This was not her first time exploring the "Ancient Temple".
But this is the first time that I have looked face to face with the totems in the temple for such a long time as today.
The more she looked at the evil creature in the stone pillar, the more frightened she became.
As if the next moment.
These evil creatures will crawl out of the stone pillars.
“There were indeed skilled craftsmen among our ancient ancestors.”
Rose exclaimed in her heart.
When the odor comes.
Her spirit was slightly shaken!
After scolding a few uneasy believers, she waved her hand, indicating that the "holy communion" could begin.
In the open space not far behind her.
There were more than a dozen iron pots that were two people tall.
The pot was boiling with white broth.
Beneath it all was a dark flame of charcoal and infernal red clay.
Hundreds of "little demons" were busy running around the iron pots.
It was a little evil demon who couldn't help but open the pot.
This caused the extremely fishy smell to spread out involuntarily.
Fortunately, Rose made the remedy in time.
The trick of "Olfaction Reversal" is a piece of cake for a divine magician of her level.
Most of the believers she deceived and brought here were foolish people who had served in the Sika Deer Temple for a long time.
They have no ability to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
In Rose's opinion.
The only meaning of their existence is to dedicate everything to the God of Sika Deer.
The God treated them well when he was in the wilderness camp.
Now God has abandoned darkness and turned to light.
They deserve to contribute something.
for example.
Took this sacrament.
As long as they take this sacrament collectively.
Then the Deer God's plan would be half successful.
Just think of this.
Rose's eyes showed an enchanting smile, and her voice was very gentle:
"Thank you, God."
"Take Holy Communion together."
Three illusions were cast in succession.
The believers just felt like they were floating in the air.
They loudly praised the deer god and the chief priest Rose.
The little demons silently brought plates of extremely smelly "holy communion" in front of them.
They didn't dare take off the black belt covering their eyes.
You can only eat it with your hands.
despite this.
The believers, who had been hungry for days, could vaguely discern that the main components of the Eucharist were slices of tender and sweet meat.
There was also a big bowl of sweet and delicious hot soup.
The believers ate with gusto.
Rose watched this scene.
Her pretty face flushed with excitement.
She raised her fair neck, and a strange, extremely suppressed sound came out of her throat—
That is blasphemy from purgatory!
Next second.
Her loose, pure white priest robe was torn to pieces.
The pure white body was dyed red and black by the evil nature!
She seemed to be pulled into the air by a mysterious force, her whole body leaning backwards, with her spine twisted into a C shape!
Six spider-like bony black claws extended from her twisted spine.
Fine down grew on her face.
But it soon faded.
Only three bright red colors remained on each side.
The ends of her bright eyes seemed to be extended infinitely.
Crash!
Pure white fur grew out of her skin, interweaving into a divine robe exactly the same as before.
Rose gradually returned to normal.
Her demeanor was still dignified and majestic, but the slightly agitated divine cannon added a few layers of unspeakable temptation; when she raised her eyes slightly, the charm and depravity that penetrated deep into her bones could not stop flowing out.
Like rain in spring.
The sound of the rain is gentle but breathtaking.
Rose looked at the kneeling believers in the square with a little pity.
They are still taking Holy Communion.
But he didn't realize that his body had undergone amazing changes -
The believers' skin turned charred black.
The organs in their chest and abdomen begin to rapidly deteriorate.
Instead.
It is the purgatory root that comes from the Holy Communion.
It won't be long.
These people will become her own "zombies".
And this is thanks to their devout belief in the God of Sika Deer and other gods of the wilderness.
At the moment they are officially converted.
The power of their faith will smoothly return to the "Wilderness Temple".
This is another huge pollution to the only "white horse" and "feathered serpent" left in the temple.
This is also the reason why the Sika Deer God wants to openly defect.
Only He Himself can attract the pursuit of the White Horse God.
Rose will have the opportunity to create a crisis in New Yuntai Mountain.
This kind of thing is actually not new in Purgatory——
Many years ago.
The Brown Bear God defected.
The Deer God went to stop it.
The chief priest of the brown bear god took the opportunity to hold a "root worship" ceremony.
That turmoil severely damaged the vitality of the wilderness camp.
It also laid the seeds for the fall of the Sika Deer God.
…
“It’s all just a cycle.”
"No one can stop the erosion of Purgatory."
There was a pious light in Rose's eyes.
At the moment when the Deer God fell.
She was fortunate enough to witness the glimpses of that great being.
That is an irresistible force.
That is the supreme being that corrodes everything.
All resistance is in vain.
"Only by becoming one of them..."
"Only then can I be lucky enough to witness everything that is to come."
"Anyone who tries to stop it will die!"
Rose turned away resolutely.
She faced the strange totem with its fangs and claws again.
Behind her.
The screams of countless believers rang out one after another.
It's as if the most beautiful music is played directly at the climax.
Rose smiled happily.
But the next second.
A white hand reached out from the darkness and grabbed her neck!
Whoosh.
Rose was lifted into the air by that hand and began to have difficulty breathing.
The spider legs behind her spread out instinctively, but she did not dare to attack on her own.
In an instant.
Rose's face was pinched until it turned the color of liver.
"Stupid woman!"
"I helped you steal the power of the Spider, not to let you get horny here alone..."
It was an indistinct voice:
"Didn't you notice that a group of humans were approaching you?"
With a snap.
He loosened his grip and Rose fell to the ground.
"Show me what kind of body you got."
Swish!
The divine robe was ruthlessly torn apart.
The evil hand ravaged her body mercilessly.
The latter could only try hard to hold back his voice.
But her big eyes had already become watery.
"Do you dare to deliberately make it bigger?"
"Besides illusions, is that all you have left but showing off your charm?"
"If enchantment is so useful, then the succubus would have become the king of purgatory long ago ..."
The voice sneered without any hesitation.
Rose knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to speak.
Next second.
A white foot stretched out from the void.
She was wearing a pair of red and black high heels.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The high-heeled shoe kicked Rose in the face, and then stepped on her chest several times!
Bruises slowly appeared.
Blood flowed freely.
The red and black colors and the fair skin formed a shocking contrast.
Rose groaned in pain.
The man stepped on it several more times.
Finally, he ordered coldly:
"Kill that man."
"Capture the woman."
"If you fail, I will take back the power of the Spider. Don't you like being in heat? Then you can become a succubus. Anyway, the barracks of the Chain Demons and Beast Demons are in great need of durable goods like you..."
There was an extremely distorted look in Rose's eyes.
It seems to be painful, but also faintly joyful.
She buried her head very low, and made a worshipping sound that was almost like a moan:
"I see."
"Dear Eastern Devil, Lady Cecilia..."
"Root Worship will take time. If the labyrinth technique can't hold them back, I'll try to summon nearby monsters."
The high heels were slowly put back.
"You better be able to do that."
"bring it on."
"I'll help you with the last step."
The Eastern Devil said coldly.
The words fell.
In the square.
There were bursts of strange roars.
Rose climbed up expressionlessly. She knew that the first batch of zombies had already taken shape.
Next, it’s time to release the “Purgatory Bag”.
It won't be long.
This place will become a paradise for monsters.
All those who ventured in.
Everyone must die!
But before that.
She has to complete the final "stealing ritual".
…
…
"Excuse me……"
In the weeds.
Roger withdrew his hand without changing his expression, thinking to himself, "Luckily I didn't use the Qilin Arm!"
Dorothy's pretty face turned slightly red.
But she soon returned to normal. She looked towards the depths of the temple alertly and reminded:
"I seemed to sense a very evil force just now."
Roger nodded in agreement:
"This evil nature is at least at the level of the four great devils."
"Something big must have happened deep in the temple."
"Let's hurry up."
After saying that, he stood up.
After quickly collecting the other several "Saving People Stele" and "Evil Buddha Head".
They crossed the temple's vestibule and headed deeper into the temple's pillared interior.
For Roger.
These ferrymen steles are a small gain.
Except for the stone tablet that records the "Huitian Palm".
The feedback from the other monuments was not particularly good.
on the data bar.
…
"Qi-gazing Technique: You notice that these four 'Savior Stones' have been worn out by time, and you cannot learn any martial arts secrets from them."
…
"Rare Item Knowledge: You vaguely remember that the 'Relic Restoration Technique' is very helpful in repairing similar items. Maybe you can give it a try in the future."
…
"Relic Restoration" is the unique skill of mages who specialize in the fields of history and time.
The number of rings is not high, about 5 to 7.
The problem is that mages who specialize in this area are very difficult to find.
Even if it was Roger, he would have to go back to Quinan to get any clues.
And that's besides the point.
The feedback on "evil Buddha head" was completely blank.
He could only put it away first.
…
The layout of the ancient temple is quite similar to the landscape Roger saw on the "Lost Island".
Most of the wild grass paths are paved with alternating grindstones and pebbles.
The floor of the main hall or square is made of a whole piece of granite.
Between the temple-style buildings with flying eaves and hanging bells.
They are stone pillars carved with lifelike strange beasts.
certainly.
"Strange beasts" are relative to other people.
In Roger's eyes.
These dragons of various shapes are particularly friendly.
As they moved forward.
Lines of fonts flashed on the data bar.
…
"Hidden Knowledge: You identified 'Tianlong'"
…
"You identified the 'Ichthyosaur'"
…
"You identified the 'Chilong'"
…
"I didn't expect that the Xiayin module had such serious knowledge..."
Roger was filled with emotion.
Arriving at the second temple complex.
He already had a preliminary understanding of the eight kinds of true dragons that existed in the ancient times of his ancestors.
The eight true dragons are:
…
"Panlong, Chilong, Tianlong, Fenglong, Hailong, Shenlong, Ichthyosaur, and Dung Dragon."
…
These real dragons have a strong Chinese style and are very different from the 'lizard dragons' active in the world today.
Although it is just a carving on a stone pillar.
But Roger had a vague illusion that they would come back to life.
Especially when he was very close to a stone pillar.
The "Panlong Ring" hidden in the Lord of the Rings will become extremely hot.
The sixth sense told Roger.
The dragon spirit in the ring was ready to move.
It’s a pity that Roger doesn’t plan to let him out for the time being.
Although this place is the site of the Chanyi Gate, it has always been a forbidden area on Xinyuntai Mountain.
Dorothy told him.
There are often strange things here.
In the middle of the night, there will be roars of beasts. Anyone who accidentally enters this place will most likely die suddenly, and the death will be very miserable.
In Roger's perception.
The Ancient Temple is not as friendly as the Jade Phoenix Nest, the Lost Island and the like.
This is a place that harbors a lot of malice!
…
"Let's find the high priest first."
With a piece of rag provided by Dorothy.
Roger sniffs and licks the combination.
The "Ultimate Hunter" was successfully launched.
Guided by the solid gold line.
They passed the outer buildings and arrived in front of the temple shrouded in darkness.
There are countless entrances to the Edge of Darkness.
Each entrance flashed with a strange purple light, emitting a dangerous signal that was luring you into a trap.
“We found the right direction!”
"This is the maze technique that the high priest is best at!"
Dorothy was both happy and distressed.
Rose's maze skills were very powerful, at least her men had a hard time cracking them.
But once you choose to force your way in.
The risks become immeasurable.
To this.
Roger just looked around, found an entrance at random, and then waved for everyone to follow:
"Enter."
at the same time.
The cross star in his eyes suddenly appeared.
…
"Pupil Technique: Absolute Insight"!
…
Under the suppression of this 14-ring expertise originating from Hongye.
Roger has a clear view of the contents of the dark maze!
Lose the misdirection of the winding road.
The only threats in the maze are those slow-moving monsters!
What a pity.
In Roger's eyes, they were no different from meat on a chopping block.
After striding around a corner.
The bloated and ugly monster suddenly pounced over!
"roar!"
It was a level 75 "Corrosion Demon"!
The Corruption Demon has dense long hair, which is covered with disgusting acid.
Although this guy looks inflexible.
But this attack came with the momentum of thunder!
…
"Insight: The Corruption Demon used Ambush Moment on you. The attack power is determined to be three times the normal power."
…
Face the menacing monster.
Roger did not dodge or evade.
He raised his hand slightly, flames burst out, and the Taiyi Lihuo Sword slashed forward with unstoppable force!
Bang!
The air blade carrying lightning, ice, and ancient dragon fire slashed violently into the chest of the Corrosion Demon!
The latter's huge body immediately flew backwards -
That scene.
It was as if a small animal running in a hurry had hit a huge truck loaded with cargo!
Compare strength.
After being promoted, Roger has never been defeated by anyone!
Even if there is ring suppression.
But the Corruption Demon is still no match for the Ascended Power.
In a narrow corner.
Roger used the Taiyi Lihuo Sword to chop the Corrosion Demon back step by step. Soon, the monster was completely trapped on the wall of the maze!
"This guy is a bit meaty..."
Even though the enemy looked very embarrassed.
But Roger was also secretly surprised.
He was very clear about the power of Taiyi Lihuo Knife.
The corrosive magic took two hits before it was broken, and now it has been hit three times but still not dead...
This is already a very terrifying life function.
Although there is a relationship between ring suppression and Xue Wuji.
But Roger couldn't help but frown.
He raised his hand and was about to strike with the seventh blow.
Who knew that at this moment, endless flames suddenly burst out from the Corrosion Demon's body.
Immediately following.
A fatalistic force flashed by.
That moment.
It was as if a butcher's knife had chopped the Corrosion Demon ten thousand times.
The monster suddenly turned into pieces of meat like shattered glass!
Roger glanced at the data column.
…
"Reminder: Your specialty 'Ancient Dragon Flame' is in effect."
…
"The health of the Corruption Demon has been detected to be less than 50%. Your specialty 'Law of Slash' is in effect... The Slash was successful."
…
"You killed 1 Corruption Demon."
…
“Your intestinal lubrication is slightly improved.”
…
“Fuck!”
"Is this to prevent constipation or something?"
Roger looked at the corpse of the Corruption Demon with a frown on his face.
I didn't even have the mood to collect the spoils.
He then led everyone deeper into the maze.
Under the influence of absolute insight.
Roger had already locked on to the correct route.
The monsters along the way could not pose any threat to him.
certainly.
The mark of sin must be removed.
that's all.
He led everyone to kill along the way.
Soon they reached the end of the maze.
There is another Corruption Demon ahead.
Roger was about to take action.
Who knew Dorothy suddenly said:
"I'll do it!"
After saying that.
She raised her sword and stabbed forward.
The Corrosion Demon roared and tried to leap up and pounce, but Dorothy easily dodged it.
She moves very quickly.
But the sword is faster.
The rapier in her hand was no ordinary item.
It can pierce the fur of the Corruption Demon with ease.
Roger noticed.
Each of her swords stabbed the Corrosive Demon's weak and vital points.
This is enough to show her fighting talent.
"What is she trying to prove to me?"
Roger felt amused but also a little impatient.
He didn't want to waste time here.
But it's not good to directly offend Dorothy.
He immediately prepared to secretly kill the corrosive demon.
Who knew it would happen at this moment.
Perhaps the Corrosive Demon was in pain from being stabbed, and he let out a loud roar. His hair rolled up like a carpet, and curses came out of his mouth one after another!
"not good!"
"The Corruption Demon is summoning the old hag. Help me interrupt him!"
Dorothy shouted with a little regret.
She really wanted to show off the skills she had learned over the years in front of Roger.
But I didn't expect it to backfire!
In the blink of an eye.
Light blue halos appeared on the ground nearby.
That is the sign of the formation of the summoning array!
“It’s too late!”
Dorothy regretted it deeply.
She gritted her teeth and stabbed the corrosion demon randomly!
In a moment.
The halos merged together.
More than a dozen ugly monsters of various shapes appeared above the halo.
Their faces were pockmarked, their bodies smelled foul, and they had poisonous snakes or toads hanging around their necks.
They ignored Dorothy.
Instead, he screamed and rushed towards Roger and others.
The sound was extremely unpleasant.
It is also highly stimulating.
The other two members of the expedition team vomited right there.
…
"Hint: You encountered 'Old Ghost Woman'*12"
…
"Insight: You realize that the old hag you encountered is a 'screaming hag'. Unlike 'swamp hags', 'dead hags', and 'night hags', the main attack methods of a screaming hag are infrasound and evil spells..."
…
In the midst of chaos.
Roger remained calm and composed.
He raised his hand slowly, estimated the old witch's running route, and then clenched his fist!
“Boom!”
The crisp
A huge translucent golden bell with a diameter of 8 meters and countless words flowing on its surface suddenly fell down!
“Buzz!”
After the loud noise.
The old witches were hit so hard that they fell into a state of dizziness.
The disgusting infrasound also disappeared without a trace.
Roger took the opportunity to launch a fierce and accurate lava jet!
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The old witches were shot through!
on the data bar.
…
"You killed 1 Screaming Hag, and you have killed 12 Screaming Hags in total."
…
"Your avatar duration is slightly increased (percentage)"
…
"Huh?"
“This is great!”
Roger's eyes lit up.
The waxing moon, all living things, the golden arhat, the asura... are all beneficiaries.
And as his strength increases.
The number of "Dharma images" will definitely increase.
"Old ghost?"
Roger's eyes drifted back and forth between the Corrosion Demon and the old hag.
final.
He still couldn't help it.
He added another Taiyi Lihuo Dao attack in a fair and open manner.
Under the double blow of the burning of the ancient dragon flame and the killing of the law.
The Corrosion Demon died tragically after all.
After this guy died.
A golden object suddenly emerged from the corpse!
Before Roger came closer.
Cindy happily picked up the thing and returned it to Roger.
It was a tongue.
…
"Golden Tongue of the Demon King of Corrosion (Storage Item/Extraordinary)"
「Rating: SS+」
"Attribute: All bard skills have their effects increased by 50%"
…
"Special Effect 1: Palace of the King of Corruption (6)"
"Palace: Storing items in these 6 slots will increase their decay and damage speed by 300%"
…
"Special Effect 2: The Cradle of the Corruption King (6)"
"Hotbed: Storing items in these 6 slots will reduce their decay and damage rate by 90%"
…
"Special Effect 3: Privileges of the King of Corruption"
"Privilege: Every day, you can summon 12 old hags to serve you."
…
"Can I find the old ghost woman?"
“What a good thing!”
Roger was overjoyed.
now.
Instead, he felt somewhat grateful to Dorothy.
If she didn't want to show off.
He may not have the chance to know the old witch's background.
After all, with Roger's speed in killing monsters.
The Corruption Demon will not be given the opportunity to summon the old witch.
"This Corrosion Demon is actually the King of Corrosion Demons. I didn't realize it. It's not even an elite template..."
As he complained, he searched for something in "Golden Tongue".
As expected it was all garbage.
He flipped through it quickly for a moment.
Finally, I dug out a treasure from the garbage dump!
…
"Hint: You have obtained the 'Eight Dragon Maps'"
…
"Eight Dragon Maps (Rare Item): The center of the Zen Gate Dragon Gate formation. After activation, you can command the eight true dragon spirits within the Dragon Gate formation."
…
"Hmm?"
There was a hint of curiosity in Roger's eyes.
But now is not the time to delve into it.
After handing the things to Cindy, Roger looked at Dorothy.
There was a hint of guilt in the latter's eyes.
She opened her mouth to say something, but Roger stopped her:
"It's important to catch Rose."
Dorothy was stunned for a moment, then nodded gratefully.
Roger then rudely kicked the wall behind the Corrosion Demon!
Boom!
The maze technique is crumbling.
Crash!
Under the judgment of "supernatural power".
The door to the maze was eventually ruthlessly broken.
An open square appeared in front of Roger.
Edge of the square.
There are pillars standing there with carvings of strange beasts!
…
"Hint: You have discovered the 'Longmen Formation'"
…
“Ah, this…”
"It's just such a coincidence."
Roger was also speechless.
However, he was also well aware that the things of ancient ancestors were meaningless to many people in the present world.
If he hadn't gotten the martial artist's expansion by chance and inherited a lot of knowledge from the Qingquan Sect, he would probably have no idea what these things were like everyone else.
He immediately wanted to take a step back.
If one can use the concept of "harmony between man and nature" to comprehend the eight dragon diagrams, then everything that follows will obviously be much smoother.
But the next second.
There was a loud noise like an explosion in the distance of the square.
Immediately following.
A hysterical voice rang out:
"Long live Lady Cecilia!"
"Long live Lord Xuewu!"
Roger took a closer look.
His gaze passed through the groups of "zombies".
It finally stopped on a woman kneeling on the ground.
The woman was surrounded by a long string of infernal mantras.
That person had a dazzling face and delicate features.
But at this moment his eyes rolled back.
The corners of his mouth were full of saliva.
…
"Insight: You realize that ' High Priestess Rose' stole the power of the dead wilderness god 'Spider' and transformed into a new creature with the advanced purgatory template/elite template."
…
"Sixth Sense: You sense that there is a strong evil presence nearby."
…
