Strange Era: An exclusive talent every month

Following the bloody red dot, it slowly approached the green "lightless land".

In the darkness, there was the sound of tapping footsteps.

"grumble!"

Those mice were exploring the path in front of Chen Ye, and the sight of the blood-colored curtain shrouded his consciousness through resonance.

Walk through the winding dark cave and head towards the uneven steps above.

The closer you get to the 'Lightless Land', the darker the picture becomes.

Even though the [Devil Mouse] has extraordinary night vision capabilities, the visual range it provides can only see a rough outline within a dozen meters.

If you want to see the details clearly, you have to get very close to the front.

Only a few meters away from the green "lightless land"...

At this moment, Chen Ye's footsteps stopped here, and a deep cave appeared in front of him.

"Is this another [Lightless Land]?"

Chen Ye murmured and looked inside with the eyes of luck.

In the darkness, the white mist lingering around the entrance of the cave was continuously dyed with a layer of dark gray and black.

There is a faint scarlet color flowing in the depths.

But those bloodstains seemed to have dried up long ago, but there were only traces left, and the activity was not obvious.

There was a faint fishy smell in the air, like a corpse!

Lots of corpses!

It rotted and stinked inside, emitting a sickening pungent smell.

"Judging from the signs of luck around me, there is probably no particularly big danger. The lingering blood shows that there has been a bloody history inside, but it did not come towards my own aura. When encountering these dangers , generally it can be dealt with.”

Chen Ye pondered for a moment, and then decided to go in and take a look.

Go through the cave door and make your way slowly through the narrow tunnel.

Although it was difficult to see the surroundings, even the [Devil Rat] could not see anything at this moment.

But with his strong sense of smell and spiritual power, Chen Ye smelled the source of the fishy smell, getting closer and closer to him.

Vaguely, it seems that you can still hear the sound of crawling insects, rustling and making faint noises in the darkness.

at this time.

Chen Ye passed through the tunnel and suddenly felt that the surrounding space seemed to open up suddenly.

That weak dark lamp was dotted above the cave in this underground space, illuminating the outline of nearby objects.

At this moment, on top of a huge altar, countless rotting corpses stood in strange postures, like sculptures.

Chen Ye's pupils shrank slightly.

There are at least a thousand such sculptures on this altar, standing motionless in a horrifying posture.

The source of the fishy smell is precisely these sculptures!

As a gust of cold wind blew, there seemed to be a cold touch like the skin of the deceased, running along Chen Ye's back and straight into the back of his head!

"This is a living altar..." Chen Ye frowned slightly and quickly adapted to the changes in the surrounding environment. He walked forward, paced back and forth, and carefully observed these sculptures.

Living altars are the existence of certain evil spirits that sacrifice a large number of creatures to obtain extremely powerful evil power.

Looking at this altar, these "sculptures" standing there are all aborigines who were sacrificed alive!

They were wearing tattered clothes, most of them had humanoid shapes, and only a few had parasitic organs with various animal bones...

These corpses were all dead, as if some strange energy had evaporated all the water in their bodies in an instant, like standing bacon.

But these bacons have burnt marks on the body surface, swollen like sarcoma, purulent lymphatic fluid flows out from some burnt cracks, and a layer of dirty marks is attached to the surface, which is also sunburned. Either dry and black or yellow, it's like the mucus magnified dozens of times mixed into rotten flesh, sticking to it and giving off a fishy odor.

"Master... this ghost place is so eerie, why don't we go back?"

A weak voice suddenly sounded from behind Chen Ye.

The gray mist outlined the outline of the feather string. He lowered the Tengu mask on his head, his face slightly frightened, and he did not dare to look directly at these terrifying sculptures.

There seemed to be something that made him feel vaguely uneasy and wanted to leave quickly.

Chen Ye raised his eyebrows: "You are a ghost, and you are still afraid of these dead things?"

Yu Xian's eyes widened, and he suddenly puffed up his chest and said:

"I... how can I be afraid!"

"These things just don't look healthy."

"Aren't you worried about the master's safety..."

Chen Ye glanced at Yuxian, clicked his tongue, and said with a smile:

"You're just afraid. Are you trying to be tough by talking back?"

The brat had already revealed himself to be a coward the day they first met.

However, if it was the instinct of "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages" and involving life and death safety, I'm afraid this guy would have fled thousands of miles away, right?

Fortunately, this guy is here, so it can be determined that the danger nearby is not great.

If we really encounter fatal danger...

This coward will not just feel uneasy, but will only act more exaggeratedly.

at this time.

Chen Ye's eyes fell on these sculptures.

Suddenly, reminders with red text appeared around -

[Tsk, tsk, the ancient sacrificial ritual seems to be conducting some kind of transaction...]

[It has been a long time since the ceremony. 】

[Only the sculpture-like corpse slowly disappeared with the weathering, leaving traces of the deepest darkness and evil. 】

After remaining in the air for a moment, the words composed of blood quickly dissipated.

Of course, with Chen Ye's strong memory, he quickly memorized these passages.

He frowned, trying to figure out the meaning of these words:

"Ancient rituals...Obviously, this altar is used for living sacrifices!"

"But it's for some kind of deal?"

"Generally speaking, such a large-scale sacrifice is enough for some of the Evil God's followers to use the Evil God's power to create some extremely destructive means."

"However, such a large-scale sacrifice is just for trading?"

"What exactly is the deal?"

While his thoughts were swirling, a ghostly cry from Yu Xian suddenly came from beside him:

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

"Bugs, there are bugs, bugs are crawling out of the corpse!"

"How disgusting!"

Following the strange cry, Yu Xian was seen running behind Chen Ye like a cat.

Under the illumination of the dim will-o'-the-wisp, the three-meter-tall giant sculpture not far in front of him had three bulging-like thick tumors on his right leg, which suddenly dried and cracked.

Lines of yellowish turbidity flowed down slowly, as if wrapped in starch.

Bah!

When it fell to the ground, the ball of pulp suddenly squirmed down, with the outline of a long centipede, crawling darkly.

Chen Ye immediately recognized the insect as the same bloody centipede that had appeared when exploring the underground waterways during the "Pollution Paradise" period!

Unexpectedly, I saw them again in the underground world this time!

The centipede sensed Chen Ye's aura and suddenly crawled towards this side!

The surrounding signs of luck suddenly changed dramatically, and the bloody light dormant in the depths of darkness changed drastically, and suddenly turned into the mouthparts of some kind of insect, biting crazily at Chen Ye's neck!

"These rotting remains have little energy left and have not absorbed enough nutrients. So the moment you smell the breath of the living, are you completely impatient?"

Chen Ye narrowed his eyes and subconsciously summoned the [Fire Sun Scroll], hoping to burn these insects with the sacred flame.

The scroll rose into the air.

However, just as the fire was burning halfway, it suddenly went out!

It's like encountering a place without oxygen. Even if there is enough fire source, the flame cannot be lit.

"In a lightless land, there is only darkness. Is it impossible to light up the light?"

Chen Ye's mind moved and he subconsciously looked up at the will-o'-the-wisp.

The will-o'-the-wisp seems to have some special mechanism. Only this strange flame can provide a weak vision in the "lightless land"?

at this time.

The bloody bug had already pounced over, opened its mouth, and revealed two ferocious fangs!

"It's really troublesome."

As soon as Chen Ye finished speaking, his right hand suddenly exploded!

A flash of sword light passed by instantly!

The bloody bug flying in mid-air was immediately split into two halves by the scissors and fell to the other side of the ground, completely motionless.

now.

Chen Ye's right hand was no longer a normal person's right hand, but turned into a pair of scissors!

The blade is dark, surrounded by dragon-like patterns. Under the illumination of will-o'-the-wisps, it emits a dim light.

It gives people an unusually sharp and cold feeling.

It seems that this pair of scissors can not only cut off all objects, but also cut off souls!

"As expected of the master, you are indeed amazing!"

Yu Xian's figure had already hid on a huge beam in the dome, half-kneeling on it, cheering his master with his fists, while looking at the scissors with lingering fear...

To be precise, what Yu Xian is afraid of is not the bloody bugs, but the scissors!

After all, as a spirit body, no matter how disgusting the bloody bugs are, they cannot threaten him.

Instead, it was the scissors that made Yu Xian feel a fatal crisis, and he hid so far away in the blink of an eye.

"Is this the execution form of [Demon Executioner]?"

Chen Ye stared at the scissors in his hand, thoughtfully.

When the execution mode is turned on, his limbs, including his mouthparts, can turn into this [Devil Scissors].

If it is a mouthpart... then the blade of the scissors can be up to two meters long. Even a [Gluttonous Giant] or a 'monster' within three turns can be separated immediately with the scissors.

But Chen Ye discovered that the execution of [Devil Scissors] was not just as simple as sharpness!

It seems like it can also shorten the soul!

That's right!

Not only can this pair of scissors cut through any object, it is extremely sharp, but it can also affect spiritual bodies!

The vitality of the blood-colored worm is very tenacious. As a multi-segmented animal, if it is simply cut into two parts, it may grow a new head and turn into two centipedes and escape separately.

That's why Chen Ye wanted to summon the [Fire Sun Scroll] from the beginning to purify it with sacred flames, which would be more thorough!

However, under the rules of the "Lightless Land", except for will-o'-the-wisps with special mechanisms, ordinary light sources cannot burn, including the sacred flame of the [Scorching Sun] sequence, or characteristics such as [Holy Light Technique].

Chen Ye reacted and immediately used the execution form of [Demon Executioner], initially just to counterattack.

He also didn't expect that when the scissors were applied, the bloody bug would die immediately!

When the bloody bug broke, Chen Ye saw a gray mist dissipating...

The gray fog should be the hazy consciousness of the birth of the bloody bug, but it dissipated at this moment.

This means that the [Devil Scissors] are not cutting off the body of the blood-colored insect, but also cutting off its soul, thus creating a one-hit kill effect!

"So my [Devil Executioner] still has such abilities?"

Thinking of this, Chen Ye's eyes suddenly lit up!
