Chapter 0185: The Altar of Mystery

Chapter 0185 Mysterious Altar

It is in the nature of mages to follow the trail. A plane of this magnitude is no less than the plane where the Crane Continent is located, what is the reason for the extinction of all the creatures in it? That's probably what every mage who comes here is trying to find.

The natives of the undead plane are all transformed from the life of the original plane after the death of the plane, the loss of life breath. They are still in a difficult cycle in this plane that is gradually declining, and each time they circulate, they will lose a part, so it is difficult for Yan zhòng, who is missing souls, to get the information he wants from them.

In contrast, it is these ancient remnants and old antiques that can preserve some ancient information.

At least the strong aura of death here is more likely to attract some strong people to occupy it, and the strong will always consciously create a comfort for themselves to expel those low-level undead, especially the ruin destroyers - zombies.

Zombies are often motionless to absorb the ubiquitous negative energy in the air, but when they have a bad temper, they will be irritable and smash, so as long as there are a lot of zombies, you don't expect to find something intact.

Walk into this well-preserved temple of the dead, which must be the main shrine of the temple group back then. From the mottled gray shadows on the stone wall, I can barely make out some scenes of sacrifices, as well as some scenes of celebrations, but unfortunately the appearance of the characters is too bad, and it is impossible to infer the appearance characteristics and clothing customs of the creatures of that year.

Walking slowly along the murals, Li Xun is very unfamiliar with these religious rituals, probably find a church expert who may be able to find more information from here! It's a pity that this is the realm of the undead, the backyard that I plan to use as a forbidden body, and if a religious expert really sets foot here, it is impossible to have a chance to leave.

It can be seen that the necromancer has done a good job of operating here, and there are various magic circles carved on the floor and stone walls, especially the most of them are gathering spirits. In the deepest part of the temple is an ancient altar, presumably where the former Grim Reaper devotees held living sacrifices and offered to the gods.

"Why do you still keep it?" Li Xun asked the necromancer strangely: "Shouldn't such a good thing have been dismantled a long time ago and separated out of the special materials inside?" ”

"It's also useful, it can produce undead with potential!" The necromancer was silent for a moment, but finally told the truth.

Li Xun's heart trembled, and he asked urgently with a strange expression: "This altar still works?" ”

"Yes, of the living sacrifice. Throw in a large number of low-level undead, and some mutated special undead will randomly appear. ”

Li Xun was silent.

Just because this necromancer didn't know that didn't mean he did. A plane that has decayed must be the flow of breath and the absence of laws, and those gods who are attached to the power of rules will be the first objects to die, which is the inevitable development of the laws of the plane.

As the saying goes, when the sky falls, there is a tall man on top. Although this is a vulgar saying, it is also a wise saying. The reverse interpretation is that if the sky falls, the tall man will inevitably be killed first.

A complete plane must have strict rules, careful laws, and a strong atmosphere. Once this barrier is broken for some reason, the direct consequence is that the internal cycle of reincarnation is out of order, causing the qi to flow out, the extinction of organisms, and eventually to disintegration.

But the process is slow and long, maybe hundreds of thousands of years, maybe millions of years, so in this step towards death, the changes inside are gradual, but no matter how different, the gods will be the first to fall. They are so closely connected to the world that any change in the laws will make the gods the first to be crushed.

The gods are gone, and what are the bases of these ancient altars to respond to the believers?

The creatures of this plane have been extinct for hundreds of thousands of years, turning this place into a paradise for the undead, and there are still gods left? Could it be because of the special nature of the god of death that he survived the passage of rules? Or is it some powerful undead king exercising authority in place of the god of death?

As soon as Li Xun, the mage's natural guide, heard this kind of thing that did not conform to the conventions of the plane, he immediately entered the research mode, circled around the altar more than a dozen times, and repeatedly asked the necromancer about the detailed process of the sacrifice.

Annoyed by the question, the necromancer summoned 100 skeletons and ordered them to go up to the altar. The altar didn't look big, but as the skeleton stepped on, there was an inexplicable feeling of dissatisfaction. The necromancer knelt down in front of the altar, silently chanting a prayer in praise of the god of death, and as his hands were raised, the altar generated a strange suction, and the skeletons continued to grow smaller, and were slowly pulled into the four walls of the statue's base in the middle of the altar, replacing the pattern on it and becoming a new wall statue.

As the necromancer's praise grew louder, a wall statue on the front of the base of the statue in the middle of the altar moved for a moment, and it broke free from it, and as it broke away from the stone wall, its body continued to expand, and finally changed from a three-finger-sized wall statue to a tall skeleton nearly 2 meters high.

Eerie, eerie, impermanent.

This is the experience that Li Xun has after witnessing the whole process.

Living sacrifice, Li Xun has seen a lot. The generation of each sea of bones, in the final analysis, is also a large-scale living sacrifice ceremony, but it is completely different from what we see today, but where the difference is, Li Xun can't say. The more I look at it, the more chilling I feel, as if I am singing and dancing in front of a beast's lair and begging for protection.

Suddenly, Li Xun's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he understood why he felt wrong.

The total amount of souls is not right!

If you take 1 skeleton and 1 soul unit as a calculation, 100 skeletons are 100 units, but after the altar transformation, the skeleton that comes out is 17 units long, that is to say, 83 units of soul energy are lost, or "rebated".

Li Xun smiled and immediately ordered the necromancer to sacrifice again. So there were 100 skeletons again, and under the same ritual, there were 36 new skeleton soul units this time.

However, Li Xun is not concerned about this, he has been working his soul vision with all his might, and he wants to see where these damaged soul energy goes.

At the most critical moment of the ritual, Li Xun was able to clearly "see" through guò soul vision that a small spatial black hole appeared in a mysterious space in the body of the altar statue, sucked up all the energy with a sweeping momentum, and spit out some more on the eve of closing, attached to the body of a sacrificial skeleton, and released it out of this mysterious space.

"Faith!" Li Xun muttered to himself in a low voice.

It's really unexpected, it's really the faith of the gods who harvest faith. The group of mages has also studied religion for thousands of years, and has studied some of the basic links very thoroughly, but in some core contents, it is still foggy. The temple is an important place for the gods to collect their beliefs, and the faith is the channel for the gods to harvest their beliefs. This is also the exclusive means of the gods, and it cannot be imitated.

Is it fortunate or unfortunate that a plane that has been dead for more than 100,000 years still has gods alive, and such an incredible thing can be seen by himself?

Of course, it's my own luck, the misfortune of that god. Sooner or later, he will have to face the gods of the Crane Continent, and it is better to have such a weak god to practice than to go up and resist the god of morning light. Li Xun pondered quietly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but leak a smug smile.

The value of the undead world is growing.

didn't say anything, Li Xun strictly ordered it, and this Temple of the Dead became a forbidden area, if it weren't for the fact that the altar couldn't be moved at all, he planned to take this thing to the sleeping place to continue in-depth research. The necromancer must return with him, and this place can only be temporarily handed over to the ice demon guard, for safety, Li Xun also left 5 chaos lords, 5 witch kings, 5 dark knights and 3000 skeleton zombies.

Throwing the task of leading the team back to Skeletron, Li Xun took the necromancer, the ghost girl, Oro, and the demon wizard to quickly return to the sleeping place in a bat demon. In order to prevent changes, the ghost dragon and bone dragon did not accompany them, and completely isolated the necromancer from his men.

2 days later, the first thing he did when he returned to the Land of Sleep, the necromancer drank the soul guiding blood wine in the tavern, and became the highest-ranking foreign hero under Li Xun.

Level 15! One more step will be able to step into the ranks of the ** division and become a heavyweight. Such a guy can also be included in his subordinates, and it is only possible in the undead realm, otherwise if he was transferred to the Klein Continent, he would have already laid a foundation, and he would have become a grass-headed overlord on one side, how could he be so light and be captured by life.

This level 15 necromancer, with a lack of soul, average strength, and lack of equipment, can be regarded as a miserable mix. But once these problems are in the hands of Li Xun, it will not be a problem. Isn't there something missing in the soul? Replenish, make up with soul crystals. Isn't there a shortage of equipment? Made, made with soul crystals, and all of them are completely matched with their own soul weapons.

However, you can't just indulge it like that, you need to follow the rules you have set yourself. You can get all the qiē you want, but if you want to get your hands on it, then exchange it for merit points! Where does the merit point come from? Go and conquer the Sleepy Lands! One qiē and one qiē, you have to work hard, to fight, to fight.

After signing the blood contract, that is, his own people, the necromancer can freely enter and leave any place. Even if it wants to go back to its previous life, Li Xun has nothing to do. It's just that he has seen the magic of the sea of bones, the strength of the cemetery troops, and the many spells and materials in the mage tower, especially the many "artifacts" in the market, so that he is no longer willing to return to the primitive life of eating tree roots and drinking dew.

"Here, even the breath of death is sweeter than before!" So said the necromancer.

It feels right, though. It is also the breath of death, and the breath of death that comes out of the sea of bones and is conceived in the Klein Continent is slightly different from that of the undead plane.
