Chapter 446 Before the decisive battle (4k4, second update! Today's total update 9k1)
Favner City, inside the city.
At the end of a path extending from the main street, on the edge of a huge steel furnace boiling like magma, a tall and thin figure looked down at the furnace, and he was playing with a colorful short knife in his right hand.
The short knife was emitting a strange light. The thin figure did not cut the blade, and blood suddenly flowed from the blade.
First, there was a bright red blood flowing, and wisps of dark mist evaporated like smoke. The color of the blood quickly began to turn black and fell on the ground drop by drop. The moment it came into contact with the ground, it made a "swish" sound, as if it was burned.
"As you said, that 'messenger' has completed his mission."
The thin figure said in a low voice but enthusiastic and somewhat sharp voice:
" According to the will of the 'Lord', the news has been passed to the hands of the empire's expeditionary army... As for the sender, my 'fanged leader' Daltis. I have cut his heart."
"..."
The owner of this thin figure is Coros Jupiter, the "Apostle of the Holy Abyss" and "Prisoner".
His eyes were still staring inside the furnace, and the air behind him began to ripple clearly, as if visible folds appeared on the surface of the water.
After Koros finished speaking, another figure appeared behind him from scratch - it was a figure wearing a black-edged white robe. A faint, charming smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and said, "Very good, Koros."
"You are really cruel~ That 'fangs', um... it's called Daltis Rockefell, right? He has been following you for the sixth year, and you killed him like this."
"This is a necessary sacrifice." Koros just responded in a low voice.
There was a dull purple light flashing in his pupils. He no longer discussed the topic just now with the owner of the white robe behind him. He was still staring tightly in the furnace. After watching for a long time, he spoke sinisterly again:
"It's here."
"Lord's... gods. The target you are looking for, the 'Blood Sacrifice Lord', is here."
"Jump down from here. Then go down the cave in the furnace, and blood will guide you to which fork into the road."
"Just go deep... well, about ten minutes. You will see a pit covered with corpses, with a huge pool of blood below, and there should be a mechanism for pulling rods. Pull the pull rod, and the blood in the pool of blood will seep out from the edge, revealing the bottom of the pool of blood, and there is a secret door in the center."
"Enter that secret door, and then there will be a skeleton statue belonging to the [Red Lotus] Destruction Statue. The 'Lord of Blood Sacrifice' is hidden on that floor. In a short period of time, he will not hide further."
"..."
Coros said this, and the "angel" behind him, Tatia, who had his wings, listened with a smile, and recorded what Coros said.
Until Colos finished speaking, Tatia smiled and said to him: "Very good, I remember, Colos~"
"I have recognized your 'Lord' on behalf of your 'Loyalty'." "I am very grateful." Colos nodded and said.
When Colos responded like this, Tatia could hardly suppress her happy smile - to be honest, the feeling of being regarded as a 'Lord' was quite satisfying, which made Tatia feel a little addicted.
But He did not laugh out loud on the spot, but maintained that gentle and charming smile and said to Coros: "Then, the loyal 'apostle', Coros Jupiter~"
"I'm here."
"As the agent who serves that will, I have a new task to give you."
"You said."
"Jump out of this furnace." Tatia said with a smile, "Just follow the route you mentioned to find the 'Blood Sacrifice Lord' and wait there. This is also the will of your 'Lord', and you must guard him, so that he will not have any chance to escape to other places to hide."
"...Yes."
"
"...Yes."
Coros nodded, he put away the colorful dagger he had been playing with just now, turned around, bowed slightly to Tatia, and gave a simplified servant ceremony. "Affect your will." Colos said at last.
Then, he gently pulled the wide pocket of his cloak, turned to face the huge mouth of the furnace that was constantly boiling, and without hesitation, he jumped down—
Plop.
The orange-red steel surface that was bubbled with bubbles splashed a circle of "splashes" with red light when Coros jumped down. The sound of "swish, swish" swayed with the burning smoke, and Colos's figure had disappeared.
Tatia took two steps forward and then watched from the position where she stood before Coros.
He could actually feel that although the boiling steel in the huge furnace in front of him looked terrifying, the temperature around him was not as high as "what you saw". In Tatia's body sensation, it was probably only as hottest summer noon.
The furnace is an illusion, and Tatia thinks this way, and He already knows it.
But the corner of His mouth also had a pleasant arc - because He once again completed His "deception".
In fact, Luo Xiu did not explain that he would jump out of the furnace, but just let Keros contact the "Lord of Blood Sacrifice" and monitor him as the "Prison Officer". "He actually jumped down...hehe."
Tatia raised her hand and covered her mouth with her slender fingers as carved as jade. Now that he is the only one, He finally laughed out loud.
…
Outside the city of Favna, Kuisan Hong Peak.
The guild players of the "Saint Protector" of the church - "Mirror of Glow", Thomas, Big Crown, Alicea, Huang Tofu, and others were climbing on the hillside of the high mountain peak that the ancient dragon's corpse turned into.
At this moment, almost half of the "Arrivals Legion" of the Expeditionary Force were not in the Legion.
Two days ago, before they arrived in Favna, they received a instructions from the bishop by the "priest of the Holy Lords" Howard Berut, the "priest of the Holy Lords", that all the saints of the church do not need to follow the expeditionary force, but instead take the execution of their respective commissions received from the Holy Lords as a priority.
This greatly improves the freedom of their players, and the commission received by Thomas and the Big Crown from the Holy Lords is to find out whether there is a significant threat to the surrounding area. The highest commission reward is to find out the Kuisan peak under their feet.
It is said that their "bishop" had also come here once before, but later he went back. Thomas and the others had just seen a bunch of gold-filled meteors passing by the sky about a few kilometers away. That should be the bishop riding the "Golden Sky Horse".
"Huh... this mountain is really high."
Thomas was a little gasping. Although he was not really tired when his will control the character's movements, his state was panting and a thick sweat cover was oozing out of his forehead.
"When can we have a 'holy beast' that can only fly and escape like the bishop." Thomas wiped his sweat and said, "It's really necessary. Dog Planner quickly gives me one. I'm a krypton guy, really a krypton guy."
"..."
After Thomas said, the other teammates around him nodded in agreement.
As the first group of "somatosensory cabin" players in the 1970s, even though they cried poorly every day in the game, they would not be very poor in real life. The current several krypton gold items in "The Path of Destiny" can be considered negligible for them. Compared with the top two games in the same era, it is really quite conscientious.
The altitude of the "Qishang Hong Peak" where they are now is about 2,000 to 3,000 meters.
"After that... the "Manual" issued by the church says, the Kuisan peak under our feet is transformed from the corpse of a large ancient dragon from the "Divine Age" period... I'll take a look, is there really such a big ancient dragon?"
Yan Tao asked curiously. “…”
"Some brothers, some."
The big crocodile held the paladin helmet, which was slightly crooked, and a strong and rough voice was made under his armor: "I believe [Next Generation Black Technology Company] Meow, the black technology company is not short of money for modeling meow."
"...I am only worried, will we really fight Favrena City, this...uh, Kuisan Hongfeng? Suddenly 'resurrection' comes, and then we have to fight the mountain dragon like TMD..."
"Grass."
Yan Tao shook her head: "Stop talking, there is a picture."
"Our feet, uh, um. Longshan." Alixiya said, "At least, the panel detection of it is not detected any life reaction."
"Even if the prop panel is detected, the body of 'Kisan Hongfeng' is not shown. For the time being, it is just a normal, just a little tall and steep mountain."
"Speaking of this, we have actually climbed more than 2,000 meters high, but we really haven't touched any monsters, and we don't even have wild beasts."
"Is this normal? We clearly saw...well, many cave entrances like nests."
"..."
"..."
"Is this normal? We clearly saw...well, many cave entrances like nests."
"..."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Maybe they were all kidnapped by the black teeth and fangs in the city of Favrena."
Thomas touched his chin, "We participated in the attack on the Fire Sword Fortress, and even earlier when we attacked the Black Gravel Fortress and Esco, we encountered the beasts raised by the Black Army. Hey, that's really strong."
"What about the city of Favrena?" The crocodile said, "Will the strongest group of those monsters, well, like the 'Chief', locked in some beast cages by the prisoners stationed in Favrena, just wait for our expeditionary army to attack the city?"
"..."
"..."
"Baoye, brother."
Huangdou said:
"The previous siege of Fire Sword Fortress, Black Gravel Fortress and Esco City, do you want to do Favna City?—But then again. I actually want to capture one alive. I heard that the rune technology of implanting runes to the monsters in the Fangbeiyuan has been quite mature. The players in the Bianting Court can ride the red dragon. Can our churches stand up!"
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Yes."
"
"..."
The soybean's words also caused a wave of echoes from their teammates. They have been in the trap of "The Path of Destiny" for almost two months, but apart from the cats, dogs, raccoons, cats, and cats that can be bought in ordinary pet stores, there is no "pet" that can be called a replacement combat power.
When the extraordinary people of [Glory] want to contract the holy beast, it seems that they have to be the fourth level of fate, and they just happen to be stuck at the upper level of the 1.0 version.
The players discussed it for a while, and Thomas finally sighed and said: "But it's really weird. The Kuisan Hongfeng, which was originally marked as 'extremely dangerous', didn't even see a monster. Although it's great to have a free commission reward,... it's still a little boring."
"I have a suggestion - you think it's still early to dark, so why don't we drive the nervous and exciting 'Shadow of the Way of Life' on the spot? Our team-based mode is about to break through 5%! We will get a 10% minimum living allowance reward soon!"
"Climb!"
"Climb,"
"Climb."
Big Crocodile, Alicia and Soybeans have unprecedented unity.
And while they were still talking about these words, suddenly, in the guild group chat of the "Mirror of Glow", members who stayed at the church resident sent a new message.
Thomas, Big Crown and the others stopped chatting, opened the chat channel and took a look-
"Hey, has the official siege finally issued a formal siege decision?"
Thomas looked at the message sent by other guild members in the chat group and said, "I'll go tomorrow morning, so early!"
"Our bishop has also presided over the 'Divine Light Instructions' ceremony." Alicia said, "The news sent by Xianyu Banban was that he participated in the ceremony of the ceremony. Well, the bishop said that the Expeditionary Force would successfully conquer Favrena City, and the bishop has been certified."
"The blessing of the 'Divine Light', it's safe, brothers!" Thomas said excitedly.
He knew that the most awesome thing about the bishop was not only the monster-like combat power, but also the ability of his "divine brilliance" that he could be called God's prophecy. Basically, the bishop fought wherever he was referring to the "oracle", and the expeditionary army won a complete victory and returned with a full load. "The bishop has sent an edict to all the 'Saints protectors', huh... let all the Saints protectors who are not in the resident go back as soon as possible. It's time for us to go down the mountain and clean up. We will get up early tomorrow morning to fight the decisive battle." Alisia said.
The players of the group no longer stayed on the Kuisan peak, but went down the mountain quickly, and returned to the direction of the church base with the shortest distance and fastest speed along the paths they had opened during the mountaineering.
...
Half an hour later.
Favner City, inside the city.
The bottom of the blood cave under the city - floating on a small floating island in the center of the blood lake, enshrined an altar with a "red lotus" base carved with crimson magic crystals.
On it sat a thin human figure with a dark red facial features and a thick and ominous black air all over her body.
——"The Lord of Blood Sacrifice".
He stood around him with people in black and scarlet cloaks, all standing with their hands down in front of him.
The Lord of the Blood Sacrifice closed his eyes tightly - or in other words, his "face" was terrifyingly smooth without eyes. He was like a dark red sculpture, and there was no movement except for the beating of the heart pump and the uniform breathing sound from where he didn't know where he was.
Suddenly, his whole body trembled, and his smooth face torn apart, and countless sharp and sharp tentacles with black light broke through his dark red robe and penetrated behind him!
——Dang! !
The sharp sound of gold and iron clashing came out, and another figure behind him waved a colorful dagger, blocking the sneak attack of the Lord of the Blood Sacrifice.
"…tsk."
The Lord of the Blood Sacrifice took back the tentacles covered with black barbs. His terrifying face was cracked, and his jagged fine teeth touched each other, making a muddy and sharp sound:
"What a pity...Coros."
"What are you doing in...?"
"..."
"I am here to guard you, the Lord of Blood Sacrifice."
A dark smile appeared on Corros's face and said, "You know, the Expeditionary Force has approached the city of Favner."
"Your master-the 'Chief Officer' Favner lets you guard here."
"And now, for the last bottom line of Favner City - that is, you. I will look at you so that you will not betray this city."
"…"
