Whispering Verse

After taking a look at the three life rings in front of him, Shade took another look at his surroundings.

The lift platform fell in the middle of a mine, like a tunnel that had been abandoned for many years, extending to both sides with no end in sight.

The ground is littered with corpses, stones, mining picks, glass slag and a series of other messy things. At regular intervals, there will be thick wooden pillars in the center of the mine tunnel to hold against the top of the tunnel to prevent the place from completely collapsing.

The temperature and gloominess in the mine are even more terrifying than the deserted villages on the ground. The undead wandering around have almost reached a level that ordinary people can see with their naked eyes. But the evil spirits attracted by the fights between the Ring Warlocks of the [Truth Society] still would not attack Shade and the girl in the black skirt, and would even actively surround them.

Those evil spirits are not even pure spirits. When the Ring Warlocks of the [Truth Society] eliminate them, the remains of bones and flesh will actually fall out of the soul fragments.

Because the black mist in the mine was thicker, Shade also tried to inhale the extremely thin black mist filtered by the red butterfly, and learned that this black mist has the functions of undead curse, flesh and blood mutation, and soul distortion.

This mountain village did not originate from the Sikal Mountains itself, nor was it even a village in the Fifth Age of China. However, in this era, it was incomparably consistent with the disaster in the city of Miburg. If the relics get out of control and the evil spirits entrenched in this deserted village escape, the church's sealing ceremony may be postponed for a long time.

"Professor, do these disgusting things really have research value? We still have samples of undead natural disasters from the fifth era. Aren't those samples much more valuable than these rotten meats?"

The young apprentice carried the middle-aged woman on his back, with the high-level warlock at the front, while the middle-level warlock collected the flesh and blood residue left behind after the twisted evil spirits disappeared.

"The natural disaster of the undead in the fifth era?"

Shade heard a new term again.

"Everything is moving forward. If you blindly indulge in the glory of the past era, then what truth is there to seek?"

If this group of people could be more normal in their pursuit of truth, they might really be able to bring progress to human civilization.

The Ring Warlocks of the [Truth Society] were in front, holding a dilapidated map that seemed to be found in the village, and kept going deep into the mine. They should have completely explored the village and solved most of the puzzles.

Shade and the girl in black skirt followed behind under the protection of the red butterflies. Of course, the two were not just walking. The latter told Shade other stories about this mountain village, but she only refused to tell what was underneath the gold mine, which was the source of the black mist.

It's not that I don't know, it's that I can't tell Xia De.

The girl in black skirt also admitted that she wanted to enter this village not just because of her academic report. Also because she needs a sacrifice deep in the mine to bring back her long-awaited relatives.

The area of ​​the underground mine is much larger than the surface, and it even looks like a maze. [Time Perception] It has been discovered that the flow of time is abnormal, so that there is a clear difference between the somatosensory time and the normal time in the material world.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Sikal Mountain time, the group finally arrived at the deepest part of the gold mine. At the end of the mine is a bottomless irregular cave that leads to the ground, and the thick black mist emerges from below.

The three members of the [Truth Society] were also exhausted at this time. The undead near this cave were all the souls of children who had been sacrificed. Because of the over-infected power of these black mists, Shade could not guarantee that he would be able to gain the upper hand even if he faced one of the evil spirits.

"right here."

"Professor" lowered his voice at the end of the dim mine tunnel. He was breathing heavily, and the collar of his neat black formal jacket had already been torn open:

"This is the core of the relic. After it gets out of control, we will use the narrow room to return to the city. This trip is really not easy. Don't let this happen to us next time."

As he spoke, he threw the skull lantern in his hand towards the bottomless hole in front of him, and the abyss itself seemed to be responding to his actions. Thick black mist poured out, followed by a slight vibration on the ground. .

But it is a pity that the skull lantern that can dispel the black fog did not fall into the abyss. A red butterfly flies by, its wings spreading downwards with tiny traces of red light. Those red butterflies wrapped around the pale skull lantern and took it away from the sky above the abyss cave.

After passing over the heads of the [Truth Society] group, the red butterflies came to Shade and the girl in the black dress.

"who are you?"

It was only now that the three of them were surprised to notice that there were two people following behind them.

Shade glanced at the girl next to him and saw that she had no intention of speaking, so he explained:

"It's like this. We came to this village to do some folklore research, and we didn't expect to meet you by chance."

More and more red butterflies were flying around the two of them, making the gold mine tunnel bright red. Shade, who was protected by the red butterflies, felt that this scene was very beautiful, but the three members of the [Truth Society] realized that it was indeed a danger to their lives.

"The whisper of the red butterfly, this is."

Mr. Johnson, the high-level warlock, widened his eyes slightly and stepped back:

"Let's go!"

A sudden thick fog enveloped them, but the white mist failed to allow them to enter the narrow room.

"Space stabilizing halo!"

The Central Warlock has already used this trick to run away once, and this time Shade learned his lesson:

"The woman you knocked unconscious was one of the four nails resurrected from the narrow room?"

He asked. Seeing that the three of them were just looking at this nervously without answering, he turned to the girl in black skirt next to him and said:

"I probably can't beat them."

"Sir, you have to have some confidence in yourself."

The cloth wrapped around the [Night Watch] was removed, and the bright yellow runes [Unintentional Clarity, Sword Kills Demons] were glowing on the silver sword. Dozens of red butterflies flew from behind and clung to the sword, adding a trace of scarlet to the long sword that fought against evil.

Shade felt the power.

Holding the sword in both hands, he stepped forward, swung the sword forward and slashed forward. The red sword marks were struck out with great force, and while flying out, they left deep carvings on the top and bottom of the mine tunnel.

"Get out of the way!"

Professor Johnson pushed his two companions hard, and he stepped forward to meet them. Unless you jump into the bottomless abyss behind, there is no hiding place in the narrow passage. He squatted down slightly, and behind him, the Miracle Spirit Rune [Iron Wall] [Shield], the Profanity Spirit Rune [Strong], and the Enlightenment Spirit Rune [Castle] flashed at the same time.

A tall tower shield like a door panel appeared in his hand. After slamming it to the ground hard, the scarlet sword mark made by Shade also came to him.

Shade didn't even see the whole process, and the thaumaturgy performed by the high-level warlock completely collapsed. In the escaping spiritual light, Professor Johnson's skin turned into a brass metallic color, and the core spiritual rune [Iron Man] behind him was performing unknown magic. His body collided with the sword mark, knocking him to the ground.

Click~

A clear cracking sound came from the life ring, and cracks actually appeared in the core spiritual rune [Iron Man]. When the high-level warlock got up again, his skin had returned to its original color, but his mouth, nose, eyes, and ears were all bleeding.

"So strong?"

Shade looked at the sword in his hand in surprise.

"How despicable, actually using the power of relics!"

The panting Professor Johnson said, and Shade immediately frowned:

"Don't you have the power of relics? Besides, there are three of you and we are two."

"Are you really two 'people'?"

He cursed in Kasenric language without caring about the image, and reached out to grab the two companions who were behind him:

"Even if I die, I won't let a despicable person like you live. Look at my sublimation."

Shade swung his sword forward again, and when the scarlet sword mark was slashed, he wanted to rush forward, but the girl in black skirt behind him held him back:

"careful!"

Without any words of sublimation, Professor Johnson took out a dark seal with a sharp angle on top from his arms, and quickly pressed it on his two companions. While the two companions stared in surprise, the relic had taken effect. Got:

"Suicide bomb!"

There was a loud bang, and the shock wave of the explosion almost knocked Shade to the ground. The explosion in such a small space caused countless dust and stones to scatter above the head, making Shade almost think that the place was about to be buried.

This is not a simple explosion, but the use of unknown relics to completely explode the bodies and souls of the two ring warlocks, which is more brutal than the corpse explosion technique. Even with Red Butterfly protecting him from the front, Shade was still aware of the powerful power of this "bomb".

Fortunately, this is the interior of the relic, and the terrain is not easily changed. After the smoke from the explosion dissipated, the red butterflies illuminated the surroundings, and all three members of the [Truth Society] disappeared. Two of them were blown to pieces, with no ashes left, while the high-level warlock "Professor Johnson" escaped alone.

"If we say we are despicable, he is even more despicable. The sage-level relic [Devil Bomb Seal] is unexpectedly in the hands of the Society of Truth."

The girl in the black skirt explained in a low voice, then frowned and looked at the intact woman lying on the ground. She was at the center of the explosion, yet intact.

"Just run away. I don't believe that he will be fine in the center of the explosion."

Shade patted the dirt from his hair, and then looked at the intact middle-aged village woman:

"The ancients said that only death can fight against death. The nails that resurrect from the narrow space must use the power of death to send them away again."

He summoned the [Chains of Sin], wrapped the unconscious woman around like a mummy, and carried her behind his back. As for the [God’s Gift Box], it can only be carried in your hands.

"Sir, the troublesome person has finally disappeared."

Seeing that Shade had finished doing this, the girl in black skirt said with a smile, and then pointed to the abyss in front of her:

“Let’s keep telling our story.

Discovering the village's traditional sacrifice of the red butterfly twins, just like us, we went all the way to the deepest part below the mountain village. But even they couldn't completely solve the problems here, so they could only seal the village. No one can leave here, not even a living person who strays into it. Therefore, the woman you were carrying probably died here by mistake, and was later resurrected by Hazama. "

"So how do we leave?"

"It's very simple. This is the source of all disasters, but it is also the only way to leave. Sir, do you have the courage to jump down with me?"

She stood next to the bottomless cave, turned around, surrounded by red butterflies, and stretched out her right hand to Shade.
