Chapter 1176 The blood volume is reduced by one
It seems that this place was mentioned as a temple for sacrifices, but along the way, Li Chengqi didn’t seem to see anything related to gods. At least you must have a statue. Bar?
If doctrine is actually unnecessary for the true God, the idol is not unnecessary. Even a holy emblem must have one.
This is equivalent to God’s business card. You have to let believers know who they worship, and they cannot change it at will, otherwise they will immediately lose all their current faith foundation.
After all, Li Chengqi is a god, and he is relatively sensitive in this regard.
With this doubt, he took the lead in drilling through the crack in the wall.
It was surprisingly bright behind the crack. It was still dark when I shined a flashlight at the entrance of the cave, but once I entered, it was like entering a bright room, without any feeling of darkness.
The terrain is just as Charlie said, it looks like a natural cave, but the shape is indeed a bit strange.
Several stalactites extending downward from the cave roof may have finally been connected to the stalagmites on the ground after a long period of time, like several shining pillars poking in front of the eyes, scattered horizontally.
Looking forward, there is a very large and complex pit. On one side, you can see a passable road, which is indeed a downward spiral, leading to a deeper underground.
The light comes from flames wrapped in rusty metal cages. It's hard to tell whether they are torches, braziers or some kind of special lamp. They may be lighting fixtures from the Roman era, and they look different from all lighting fixtures today. .
This time the flame is a real flame, not the orange or blue-white light before. If you get closer, you can even feel the strong heat wave. I just don’t know what this thing is burning. I don’t see any oil or anything. of fuel.
"When our team first came in, there were no lights."
When Charlie saw this scene, he immediately reminded everyone that something was wrong.
Due to the complete unknown, no one dared to act rashly, turning their heads to search for threats that might be in the shadow of the flames.
Li Chengqi didn't move forward immediately, not because he was afraid, but because he heard the sound.
"It seemed like there was a sound of something crawling over."
Unlike the crawling sound of insects, this sound sounded like sand falling gently on the ground. It was very slight, but also very special.
As soon as Li Chengqi finished speaking, he heard an exclamation from behind.
"On the upper left, is...!"
Everyone turned to look over and saw nothing but stones and shadows. However, the person who issued the reminder was stiffening and turning gray at a speed visible to the naked eye. All the sounds were blocked in his lungs, and in the blink of an eye he became... A stone statue.
His horrified expression froze at the moment when he opened his mouth to remind loudly, like the work of an artist with bad taste, but no matter how outstanding an artist is, it is impossible to do it so vividly.
"It's a petrification attack! Move him out, be careful not to damage it, and the others should take cover quickly!"
Petrification is the last thing adventurers want to encounter.
Other abnormal conditions can be solved with potions or other methods, but petrification only requires a hit. Unless there is a special spell, there is nothing you can do.
Masters and priests who can cast cracking spells are rare resources among adventurers. If one person is attacked, his companions can carry him away. If the whole team is attacked, there is really nothing they can do.
Fortunately, there are not many monsters that can attack with petrification. Considering the style of this building, there is only one possible monster.
Hissing sounds, like many snakes spitting messages, appeared above the head at this time. This sound made people's scalp numb, and people couldn't help but want to see what it was.
As a result, when several people raised their heads, they also turned into stone statues.
"It must be Medusa!"
Gan Xiaoyan quickly lowered her head and covered her eyes with her hands.
Li Chengqi no longer understood the myth. He also knew about Medusa, and he also looked up. However, he may have looked up too late, and could only see a snake's tail crawling through the shadows on the roof of the cave. It is extremely difficult for any abnormal state to affect gods. The divine shield can greatly reduce the probability of the abnormal state taking effect, and even if it does take effect, it can be rendered ineffective using divine resistance, so Li Chengqi is very helpless. fear.
But it was obviously not the case for the others. They quickly found a bunker nearby and squatted down, lowering their heads.
"Come behind me."
When Gan Xiaoyan was asked to go behind her, Gan Xiaoyan was not polite. She hugged Li Chengqi's waist from behind, buried her head on his back, and said: "Be careful, anyone who looks at Medusa will do it." petrified."
Yes, people will be petrified, but God will also be petrified.
To be honest, Li Chengqi is still a little curious about what Medusa looks like. According to mythology, Medusa is very beautiful. Even according to the two-dimensional setting, Medusa is so beautiful.
Isn't it just snake hair? I can barely accept it.
Just when Li Chengqi thought of this, he heard the hissing sound of many snakes again. Following the sound, he saw a twisted shadow peeking out from behind one of the stalactite pillars.
I could barely recognize it as a woman, and I could barely recognize her facial features. It was just a snake with its hair twisting on its head, making a strange hissing sound, and when Li Chengqi looked over, they stared with amber eyes. Looking at him.
"Damn it, this is different from the snake-haired girl I imagined!"
Not to mention the beautiful girl, this thing's face doesn't even look human anymore, especially the face shape, which is more like a snake than a human.
He raised his hand and slapped him, and a harsh scream filled the air, covering up Li Chengqi's screams.
However, Medusa's body was hiding behind a stalactite pillar, and the slap in the air missed her. The latter immediately retracted and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Li Chengqi felt very bad, but Medusa felt even worse. Li Chengqi not only stared at it, but even scolded it, but Li Chengqi had no intention of turning into a stone statue.
"Brother Li, have you seen Medusa?"
"I saw it, but it's better not to see it, they're an ugly bunch!"
"Won't you turn into a stone statue?"
"Just think I have petrification resistance."
Just as he was talking, Li Chengqi heard a faint sound of breaking wind, and an arrow almost as long as an arm was shot from the shadows.
The divine shield can block all mortal attacks, which Li Chengqi originally wanted to ignore.
But for some reason, Li Chengqi suddenly felt a sense of crisis at that moment, as if his instinct was reminding him that he couldn't resist the arrow.
Opportunities are fleeting, and Li Chengqi has little combat experience, not to mention skills, and he has not received any training.
Although he had a sense of crisis, his body's reaction was very slow. When he wanted to dodge, the arrow had already been shot.
He reflexively raised his hand to cover his face, and could hear the sound of the arrow breaking and shattering on his arm, but a stinging pain made Li Chengqi frown slightly.
When he lowered his arm, he saw that there was a shallow cut of less than three centimeters on the back of Li Chengqi's hand, which was only bleeding slightly.
This isn't right.
God should not bleed.
