The cultists didn't pay attention to those dead companions. They stood there and looked at Xia De, vaguely surrounded by them. With three ring warlocks, he could tie with a team of ring warlocks from the Orthodox Church. Xia De knew that there must be something more powerful in the damp chapel, so he didn't have the confidence to swell enough to take another risk.
He held the only remaining murloc fat priest hostage, then glanced at Darkness and his companions, they naturally stood with the murlocs. But Xia De was not in a panic. The sea breeze behind him showed that there was definitely a way behind the stone wall:
"Stand back, otherwise I can't guarantee whether I will pull the trigger."
He said aloud that since he put on the mask before lurking in the robe, he was not afraid of being recognized.
And the fat murloc held hostage by Xia De didn't seem to struggle at all. It continued to chant prayers on its own, as if Shad didn't exist at all.
The cultists of the Scarlet Esoteric all looked at Shad as if Shad was a madman. But looking closely, Xia De could see that everyone's lips were moving, and they were also praying.
The inexplicable uneasiness made Xia De a little surprised:
"Are there any traces of abnormal elements?"
[Yes, look at the ground. 】
Looking down, because of the attack just now and the death caused by it, the blood of the murlocs kept seeping downwards. After entering the sewage on the ground, it seemed to vaguely overlap with the lines under the water surface.
And with the humming prayers of the old murloc priest held hostage by Shad, without the reminder of the voice in the ear, the more intense blasphemous elements have become materialized silver rays of light emanating from the ground.
Xia De suddenly realized:
"I killed them, which is actually equivalent to offering sacrifices to the ceremony... There is such a thing? Wait, these guys, don't plan to commit suicide, so they don't care about the manor being surrounded, right? ?”
Thinking that he couldn't wait any longer, Xia De gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger directly, killing the old murloc who was still praying with one shot. The annoying humming of prayers stopped abruptly, but then the prayers of the remaining cultists suddenly grew louder.
Shad turned around as if running backwards, aiming at the stone wall where the holy emblem was placed.
It is impossible to escape the same way, and there is still a ring warlock of unknown level in the wine cellar. And since there is wind blowing from the hole in the wall, there must be a way behind.
"Don't let him get away!"
A voice came from behind. Although Xia De couldn't see behind him, "she" could see it.
【It's now! 】
"Ragley's Jump!"
The attacks of spells and thaumaturgy coming from behind failed, and bombarded the stone wall in front, opening up the hidden rugged narrow path behind, while the holy emblem rolled into the wreckage of the collapsed stone wall.
Xia De's figure appeared at the corner on one side of the stone wall, and then he rushed towards the narrow road, rolled neatly, and the person had already rushed in.
"Hurry up!"
Darkness probably wanted to win the favor of the cultists, so he came to the broken stone wall of the church one step faster than everyone else.
"Don't chase!"
But the people behind him stopped him, turned around and saw that he was the only six-ring magician among the group of cultists. It was he who blocked Xia De's Yinyue slash that didn't make things worse.
"There's no need to chase."
He knelt down and respectfully took out the intact holy emblem from the pile of rubble. After kissing, give it to the murloc behind him.
Seeing that Darkness was puzzled, he frowned and looked into the darkness deep in the rugged passage, and explained:
"The road behind the stone wall may indeed lead to the outside. This is the passage for transporting sensitive materials when we occupied the manor many years ago. But when we abandoned the manor sixty years ago, we sealed a clerical level inside. The relic is a sea monster."
"Clerical level? Siren?"
The middle-aged man wearing red gloves stepped back immediately:
"Are you sure that person just now will definitely die at the hands of Wannai?"
"Of course, even though it's at the clerical level, it was sealed after using.... It hasn't been a problem for sixty years, but what's going on inside now, even our church can't tell. Since he walked in by himself, we don't have to care about it."
The man looked sympathetically at the corpse of the murloc priest on the ground:
"I originally wanted to draw lots to determine the number of self-sacrifices...Forget it, the ceremony has been completed, and there are still ten minutes before sunrise, so let's leave too."
"etc."
Darkness with short dry yellow hair stretched out his hand:
"What about what you promised me?"
The six-ring warlock waved back, and the living murloc immediately found a box from his companion's corpse. Passing the brass-colored ring in the box to Darkness, the latter had an ecstatic expression on his face.
The cultist reminded that he was very curious about what Darkness was going to do.
"Of course—the transformation of silence and silence is the display of hidden power!"
He took off the red gloves in front of everyone. After chanting the mantra, put the ring on your right index finger.
The skin on the palm wriggled and cracked, and the terrifying mouth was exposed. With the flipping of the mouth and sharp teeth, it actually spoke:
"I felt the blood and the fear, which was nice."
Mouth laughed loudly, the terrible language it used seemed to have the power to directly pollute the environment, making the cultists of the Scarlet Esoteric Cult feel sick and dizzy. Of course, this is not the common language of Delarion, or even human language, and no one can understand it except Darkness.
Seeing this weird scene, not only the cultists of the Scarlet Esoteric Cult, but even Darkness's companion, the short man with the beard, showed uncomfortable expressions on their faces.
He took a step back subconsciously, seeing a large shadow covering Darkness. His lips twitched, but he didn't ask his doubts.
Their original purpose was to use flesh and blood to nourish the technology in exchange for the promise of the murlocs to help them leave the cold water port. As for the poet-level relic [Fish Training Ring], Darkness privately proposed a deal.
Then, the group began to clean up the traces of the ceremony, and bombarded the narrow stone crack behind the wall that Shad had entered with thaumaturgy, causing it to collapse. Finally, clean up the corpses on the ground, so that the flesh and blood can be more evenly distributed on the traces of the ceremony.
About seven or eight minutes, when the cultists were about to leave, they suddenly heard clear footsteps coming from the exit of the damp chapel:
"Who is playing steam bombs under my house?"
It was a woman's voice.
(Shad is running...)
Xia De is running wildly. To be more precise, he is running while counting the time to jump forward in space.
The wall is like a natural crack in the ground, and the curved road prevents him from being directly attacked by the people behind him. But this feeling of back against the enemy is really tingling. Xia De could only run forward as far as possible, and occasionally he would suddenly turn around and slash a beam of light backwards, and then continued to run away regardless of what happened behind him.
After running like this for five full minutes, he saw that the front had come to an end, so he stopped and lay down on the flat stone surface to listen, but there was no sound of footsteps.
"Didn't you come after me? Or is it actually a dead end?"
But Xia De couldn't retreat at this point, and it would be better if the other party didn't catch up. Maybe Miss Aurora came here after a while because of the explosion of the steam bomb.
On the one hand, finding a way out by himself, and on the other hand, waiting for the witch's rescue, this is Xia De's real idea.
Since you can't go back now, keep going forward. Finally, a human creation appeared in front of it. It was an iron door, and a small opening was opened at three-quarters of the iron door from the ground, which was enough to deliver the envelope.
The wind is blowing out from the crack in the door and the small opening on the door. It is a fresh sea breeze, and considering that the Aurora Manor itself is by the sea, it is very likely that the door leads to a seaside cave or something like that.
"But if it's really that easy to find the exit, why don't the cultists catch up..."
Xia De looked at the iron door suspiciously. This door should have been around for some years, with serious signs of corrosion on the surface. It was barely visible that there was a pattern on the door, but after careful identification, it was clear that it was the holy emblem of the evil **** [Lord of the Scarlet Spiral].
"This door was placed here by the Scarlet Esoteric Cult."
He approached the door slightly, and the inexplicable uneasiness made him dare not open the door directly, but asked in his heart:
"Is there anything unusual~www.mtlnovel.com~ not yet.】
"So......"
There was no handle on the door, and Xia De, who was out of breath, pressed his hand on the surface of the rusted iron door, and immediately felt that the spell [Key of the Door] could be used, which meant that the door was actually locked. But the difficulty of opening the lock is not great, but it is more difficult than Mr. Jude's safe.
"Could it be that the cultists outside thought I couldn't open this door, so they didn't chase after me at ease?"
He couldn't figure it out, but after a more careful inspection, he found a series of engraved ancient runes under the rust on the edge of the door frame.
After translation, Xia De confirmed that this is the prayer used for sealing. Only the most dangerous seals will write prayers of this level.
"What the **** is behind this?"
Looking at the door curiously, the door was still dark under the moonlight under the fingertips. After thinking about it, Xia De decided not to rashly open this weird iron door. He turned around and wanted to leave, to see what the murlocs were doing outside, maybe Miss Aurora had arrived.
Unexpectedly, just after taking two steps, along the passage, the sound of explosions and howling wind caused by air pressure disturbance rushed in directly.
"oh!"
The strength of that strange wind directly flew the unprepared Xia De, and hit the iron gate behind him with a bang.
At the same time, because of the explosion and the strong wind, the entire passage actually vibrated. Xia De sat in front of the door dumbfounded, listening to the continuous sound of collapse coming from afar.
The passage from the damp chapel to this door collapsed, and the collapse stopped a few dozen steps away from Shad, and the dust that was raised made him cough continuously.
Now, even if you don't want to open the door, you can't do it.
