Chapter 33 Temple of Death

A few days ago, the storm gradually stopped, and the sudden heavy rain had already suppressed the disordered fire element.

The surroundings of the Temple of Death have returned to the hustle and bustle of the past. The buried undead also climbed out early. They hung gold, silver and jewelry on their bodies as before, ** passing travelers. The bone crows are also stagnant in the treetops here, and they are spying on the bodies that have not yet decayed. Even the monsters began to walk between the shadows of the trees, stopping in front of Star in twos and threes, showing greedy eyes.

"Let's go, my man. Our goal is not here." Star patted Jian Mang's hairy head, and there was a pink softness in his hand.

Warcraft in the Dead Forest may be a good choice, but Stark doesn't plan to get along with them. It is too close to the castle. One will alert Sadek, and the fight between the two is also likely to be noticed by the knights guarding the periphery. Star doesn't want to add other trouble to himself until he is absolutely sure.

Star's main goal this time is the magic box, and he also wants to explore what is hidden in this mysterious temple.

At the moment he stepped into this relic, old John told Starr that the buildings here formed a magic array of alchemy. Obviously, this gold is the product of alchemy. As long as the items are taken from the original place, they will quickly turn into worthless dirt.

The temple in the Death Forest is an ancient building.

Thousands of years ago, the necromancer was also a popular branch of magic in the Hastan continent. No one knows how this magic developed in the Aegean continent. At that time, there were rumors that the god of death had descended the oracle several times and displayed miracles in the world in the form of a physical messenger. And this ethereal rumor once made many magicians fall into the arms of the undead faction. For a while, the Temple of Death was built like a bamboo shoot by a large number of fanatical and radical believers. Affected by this craze, not only human beings, but also many other races have begun to learn undead magic and follow the death sect. However, this sect is destined to be a flash in the pan. Their evil magic and appearance of fear have led other religions on the continent to encircle and suppress it.

In the current Hastan continent, there are many ancient ruins similar to the Temple of Death, recording the once prosperous and today's dilapidated religions.

Looking at this huge temple covering dozens of acres, Star can't figure it out. This is a forest. Without destroying the plant, how much saving energy did the builder spend to build it?

Although this temple, which has been in history for thousands of years, looks a little dilapidated, the overall structure is still very strong. Otherwise, he would not be hit by the fallen statue and still stand still. Star's eyes rested on the stone lint of the "Temple of Death" in the four continents. It is now covered with gray grass and moss, and there is also a bird's nest made of bone crows, and the handwriting has been blurred. There are dozens of huge stone pillars on the outer porch of the temple, each of which is carved into a beautiful woman holding a red heart.

Star stepped on the long steps, hundreds of steps, all the stone cracks are thin like a line, which is almost indefensible to the naked eye. Even the dagger is difficult to insert.

Entering the temple quickly, there is a huge statue of a three-headed hellhound on both sides of the steps. These stone statues are carved with appendant jade. The carving technique is extremely exquisite, even as if it gives them a sign of life. Star always felt that these hell dogs were ready to go and ready to attack him. Although Star knew that this idea was a little nonsense, after all, this omen always lingered in his mind.

The moment he stepped into the huge temple, the gloomy wind blew by, and the sword behind him also made an uneasy warning sound.

The ancient bronze oil lamp on the passage has been filled with grease and is burning. Star and the ground crow on the frightened dome that came in were flapping their wings and restless. After passing through this mossy and water-stained corridor, Star finally entered the main hall.

What appeared in front of Star was a six-edged statue of Death. The statue of death has a skeleton face and a huge stone sickle on his shoulder. The face is angular, and the place where the knife and axe is chiseled is extremely clever.

This statue of death stood behind the altar, and a cluster of translucent blue flames just burned on his **. The dim and strange firelight happened not to be reflected on the face of death. This makes the whole statue more and more strange and fable.

Star pulled out a spear from the ground and carried it on his shoulder. He found that a wall behind the statue had traces of being pried. The color and surroundings of the bluestone there look slightly fresh, as if it had just been built back. There must be a secret room in here!

When he first entered the temple, Star had already looked at everything in the temple. If this dark wall is not carefully examined, it may not be able to find it. The people who do these things must be very hidden, and even the moss on it has been moved back intact. This must be the handwriting of the alchemist! It's just that Star is not sure whether it's what Sadek did.

Gently knock your hands on the wall, and a trace of moisture comes along the palm of your hand, and there is also a crisp sound of 'bang'. Star, who understands the nature of alchemy, does not need to forcibly break the stone wall at all. He only needs to decompose the 'earth elements' of the wall and then restore the original arrangement.

The stone wall was restored as before, and Star led the sword light into the secret road behind the statue.

This is a corridor that is longer than in front of the palace. The gray stone slabs have been moistened by the rain a few days ago, and there is no temperature to the touch. A bronze oil lamp is hung on the top of the corridor every few steps. The whole passage is not dull, but the flame color is a little strange. Star can clearly see that there are still mottled blood stains on the gray moss under his feet, which has been at least for more than ten days.

The blood stains extend along the corridor to the bottom.

To Sta's surprise, there are no traps in the corridor. At the end of the hall, there was still a hall. A woman carved naked ** held her hands crossed above her head and a stone plate in the palm of her hand. A cluster of blue fire on the stone plate lit up the whole hall, and the burning three-pronged flames pursued each other, forming a strange cross angle. The dim and strange firelight just lit up the face of the statue under the stone plate, covering the beautiful and enchanting face with a blue veil.

In the churning fireworks, there is also a gray object floating on the stone disk, constantly beating with the flames. Every time it rolls, there seems to be a deep aria and song.

"That's..."

Star had a chill. Floating on the flame was a square box, which was reflected by the flame with strange magic lines. These magic lines flashed above the flame head like horse lanterns, flying quickly in front of Star's eyes.

"What is alchemy?" A line of cyan words floated on the flame, as if sighing or questioning.

"This is the 'Hradic Magic Box'!" Starr gently stirs up the box in the flame with the long gun in his hand. The all-steel gun head melted like wax oil at the moment of contact with the outer flame, and then fell back to the ground along the stone disk until it disappeared.

Star remembered old John's words. He said, "The Heradic magic box is divided into seven pieces... There will be questions about alchemy on each magic box. If the answer is wrong, there will be unpredictable consequences." Maybe it was Agarish who asked and answered the question last time, and he answered the wrong question, which caused the Red-eyed Black Dragon to be released from the magic card.

"Answer me!" The words that churned in the flame quickly passed away and were replaced quickly. It is like a child who is eager to get an answer, asking over and over again.

"Sword Mang, let's go!"

Star's heart suddenly sank. He didn't think he could answer such a question. Without any hesitation, he turned his head quickly with his sword and ran to the corridor behind him. The metal boots 'pattering' on the moss, as if every step was in the mud. The door of the corridor, which is only about ten steps away, seems to be lengthen several times, and no matter how you run, you can't go to the end.

'Boom', a complete stone slab crosses the entrance of the corridor, firmly blocking the escape road to the temple hall.

Starr almost subconsciously threw out half of the spear in his hand. Coupled with the instantaneous outbreak of fighting spirit and the strength of the mechanical limbs of his right hand, Star felt confident that he could break the stone door in an instant. He still has absolute confidence in his strength, and the corpses of warcraft all over the forest are the most effective proof.

But the next incredible scene happened.

The long gun that was pierced in was abruptly pushed against the outside of the stone wall, and with a crisp sound, it hit the ground fiercely.

"Sword rush out!"

Star immediately shouted and stuck it in front of the stone wall. His hands were quickly put on the wall, and the magic flowed quickly along his arm to the palm of his hand. The magic that could be transmitted to the stone wall seems to be blocked by a transparent medium.

The sword also stopped quickly, and it opened the fangs of the wolf kiss. The airflow swirling at a high speed like a tornado quickly formed in the mouth of the sword.

"It's the wind blade!" Since alchemy cannot be used, magic may not work. However, when the wind blade was just spit out of its mouth by the sword, it inexplicably disappeared into the air. The gray moss was quickly obscured by the sudden strong light, and the alchemy array of the six-pointed star instantly enveloped the whole hall.

"Answer me, what is alchemy?" A strong anger broke out in the flame, and the tumbling flame quickly twisted in the air, gradually forming another figure. My dear child, answer me, what is alchemy?

Star suddenly turned around, and the figure gradually formed above the flame had become Sadek's appearance. The figure walked down the stone plate and pushed towards the corridor step by step.
