488 The secret of the demon-sealing battle

As Antonya finished casting the spell, the hard stone ground beneath her feet turned into something like a swimming pool.

Immediately, the two mages sank into the ground and became like stones, continuously moving underground, slowly sinking all the way.

This went on for more than ten minutes before Zhao Xu felt the restraint on his feet disappear and it slowly spread to his entire body.

An air that was different from the smell of the underground rocks blew into his face.

Zhao Xu’s entire body suddenly lost the pressure of the rock above him, and he felt as if he was in a state of weightlessness. He immediately activated his ability to fly and slowly controlled this floating force to help him regain his balance. Then, he landed back on the ground, piece by piece.

At this moment, Antonya had already landed on the ground, looking very calm and composed.

In front of him was an incomparably empty rock pit that had been dug out.

However, he could see that the surrounding rock walls had not been repaired. It was just a space that had been dug out.

“It’s quite primitive.” Zhao Xu said emotionally.

But as he said this, he and Antonya both became alert and looked around vigilantly.

Zhao Xu even felt that this was a lot more dangerous than the night he had come out of the palace of EDRO.

What was the reason?

Donder would have to take a huge risk to build such a place under the most important place of the northern Alliance’s capital. The purpose of it was self-evident.

Or it had already existed before donder ascended to the top.

All of this was unknown.

let’s go. Let’s see what kind of tricks this fiend Lord is playing. It looks like he’s up to something big. Antonya commented, and Zhao Xu quickly followed behind her.

“Drip.”

“Drip.”

Suddenly, a mysterious sound of water dripping came from the distance.

Zhao Xu immediately turned around to look in the direction where deep waters ‘voice came from. there’s a stalactite here? ”

At this time, with the help of the true knowledge skill, his eyes looked through the darkness in front of him and directly fell on an inverted triangular cone at the top of the mine. There was liquid oozing out of it and falling drop by drop.

Once, Zhao Xu and his friends had been trapped in a cave somewhere. They had brought some dry food with them, but their water bottle had broken and leaked out when they were on the way.

As a group of poor adventurers, they definitely didn’t have the transparent spindle ain stone, which cost 4000 gold coins without drinking or eating.

As for the endless water source, which was worth 9000 gold coins, no one would be willing to burn money to buy it.

At that time, they relied on the water that seeped out of the rocks to quench their thirst. The water was even filtered through the rocks. It was cleaner than if they were simply filtered through coal sand in the wild.

But now, when Zhao Xu saw what was moving in front of him, he felt a little nauseated.

The pungent smell of blood had already entered his nostrils through the air vent.

“You know what this is?” Antonya asked.

“Corpse blood jade coffin.” Zhao Xu thought about it for a moment and explained the layout of the demonic ritual.

use a special demonic sacrificial ritual to kill innocents. Best for adventurers. The higher the level, the better the effect. Then, we’ll bury it in the stone wall and wait for the blood to seep out from the wall and drip onto the ground. Then, we’ll dig a blood groove that leads to the altar along the spot where the blood is dripping.”

this way, the power of loathing left behind by the corpse will return to the altar and increase its power.

After hearing this, Antonya couldn’t help but turn around and look at Zhao Xu. you’ve done research in this area before? ”

I’m afraid that you won’t be able to retrieve such detailed information with your knowledge skill. Generally, only an old priest who has studied religious knowledge for many years would have such experience.

Zhao Xu also had a bitter smile on his face.

In Lin Jie’s previous life, during the demon-sealing war, not only were the forces on earth greatly affected, but the players in the northern Alliance were also in a precarious situation.

At that time, Zhang Qi was captured by a group of demons who suddenly surrendered.

After that, Feng GE also died in the demon-sealing war.

In the end, the old priest brought her to find Zhang Qi’s body and wanted to be buried together. With the intention of a temple, the old priest led them to a mysterious mine and finally saw the altar and ritual.

By the time Zhao Xu and the others crashed into the stone wall, Zhang Qi’s body had already been squashed so badly that it didn’t even look human anymore.

At that time, Zhao Xu was extremely weak. He had to bear the burden of killing his family and watch his close friends and family die. All he could do was madly hack at the altar to vent his anger.

“Let’s go,” he said.

Antonya said. At this moment, the palm-sized blood reservoir on the ground was already full, and the slightly slanted slope allowed the blood to flow all the way down the ” finger-wide ” blood reservoir.

“No demons.”

Zhao Xu’s eyes swept across the area in front of him. He could feel what was going on around him, and at the same time, he was listening carefully.

then do you know what altars that are usually used for such rituals? ” Antonya asked.

Zhao Xu shook his head slightly.

The old priest from his previous life could only barely recognize it, but he couldn’t tell what it was for.

“Summon the demon.”

Zhao Xu suddenly stopped in his tracks for a moment.

“What?” Antonya seemed to sense that something was off with Zhao Xu.

Summon demons!

Demon-sealing battle!

In Lin Jie’s previous life, after traveling through time and space for several years, countless armies of demons and devils from the abyss and hell had descended from the sky.

...

No one knew where these scums came from, and they were mercilessly scattered in every town.

Due to the lack of Garrison equipment, some towns were devoured alive by these purgatory creatures on the spot. The originally prosperous towns were directly turned into mass graves.

The entire North of the icy mountain range was covered with corpses, turning it into a living hell.

Most of Zhao Xu’s classmates who had entered the game in the early stages of the game had managed to survive the chaos at the transmigration area, but at least 70% of them had died in the battle to seal off the demons.

In the end, when Zhao Xu found traces of the Dragon again, there weren’t many people around him who had survived and could help.

Otherwise, Zhang Qi and Feng GE would have followed him.

this was a kind of friendship that didn’t even need to ask after going through thick and thin together.

And now, he had actually found an inkling that the demon-sealing war would break out here.

It just so happened that this place was the most critical place for the entire Northern Alliance. Every day, hundreds of government decrees were issued to the central area of all major cities and towns, the Grand governor’s manor!

” teacher, how many demons can this altar transport? ”

There were two ways for demons to descend into Arthur. One was to summon them. If they died, they would only be their projections and would not affect their actual bodies. However, once the summoning time was up, the summoned bodies would disappear.

...

The other way was to take the ‘smuggling route’ and directly teleport over.

However, if the demons who did this died, they would suffer heavy losses even though they would not really die.

It was just like the pit fiend that Zhao Xu had killed in the underground temple of the god of death. It would go back to hell and start from the lowest level.

Antonya furrowed her brows slightly and put on a cute expression of deep thought. although I haven’t seen the altar in front of us yet, based on the density of the demonic aura here, I’m afraid that this isn’t a portal.

“It’s just summoning demons. The strength was estimated to be close to the level 9 spell ‘abyssal Legion’, which would summon several dretches, babus, and a level 9 Flor, and these demons were all strengthened to full health. At the same time, they can also summon demons. It can be considered a small snowball.”

“Not teleportation?” Zhao Xu was surprised. In his previous life, the Army of demons that had been brought over by the demon-sealing war had all been real demons that wouldn’t disappear.

“Teleport?”

it’s not impossible. If they’ve been carefully selected and attached with a ritual, they can build a portal by killing.

fresh blood and the souls of Arthur’s living beings are the best nourishment for this teleportation portal ritual that only demons have.

“In other words ...” Zhao Xu’s voice suddenly became a little low as he said, ” the demons summoned by this altar are the raw materials to activate it. As long as they kill enough, they can open the teleportation gate and continue to maintain it with the new evil demons ‘slaughter?”

“There is indeed such a possibility.” Antonya replied.

At this time, they had also reached the end of the blood pool on the ground.

In front of him, there was a burst of extremely hot fog with the smell of burnt sulfur, choking people to the point that they couldn’t breathe.

At the same time, there seemed to be a source of the thick fog underground, causing the fog to form a huge wave that kept rolling and beating.

“Wuwuwu.”

Then, from the thick fog that scattered strange red light, a burst of Devil’s crying came.

In an instant, an aura of death swept over Zhao Xu’s mind and heart, and it tensed up.

Then, he saw an extremely evil aura surge up from behind the two of them.

Jiao Yan’s body appeared behind the two of them with a deformed demon horn on his head. His body was still steaming hot, and his shadow directly covered Zhao Xu and Antonya.

It can’t be that he’s using a big move right from the start, right?

At this moment, Zhao Xu couldn’t stop complaining in his heart, but then he heard a familiar voice in his ear.

Zhao Xu couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

It was actually this!

welcome to grazite’s territory, Princess Antonya.
