Chapter 205: Temple Ruins and Head Bombs
The screams were chilling in such an empty swamp terrain, and some of the timid adventurers turned pale with fright, but there were so many people around the building that Ruan Chi, the outermost logisticians, couldn't see what was going on inside even if they stood on tiptoe.
"Hey, what happened?" In order to figure out the situation, Ruan Chichong asked Rachel, who had good eyesight.
Rachel and Guldia were both looking in the direction of the building, their faces turning unusually ugly from the moment the screams were heard.
"Those men's heads are gone." Rachel pursed her lips and said in a deep voice.
"Gone?" Ruan Chi listened to the water.
"Their heads burst like balloons, and that's what I saw." Rachel smiled wryly.
"How can the head burst open for no reason, are you mistaken?" Ruan Chi frowned, and now he had the urge to rush up and take a look through the crowd in front of him.
But at this time, Mach had already taken the lead in speaking out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the brothers who lined up to explore the ruins of the temple just now were attacked by unknown enemies and have died, and now we are ready to send someone to enter again, I don't know if anyone wants to go."
As soon as these words came out, most of the adventurers present looked at each other, obviously the screams just now were really a bit terrifying, making everyone unable to muster up the courage to stand up.
Ruan Chi saw that no one wanted to be the vanguard, so he wanted to raise his hand, but he gave Rachel a step ahead of him.
"Don't go, it's the ruins of the temple of Quetzalcoatl, it's very dangerous."
"What Quetzalcoatl?"
Ruan Chi wanted to ask this question just now, so he simply stopped and waited for Rachel to explain.
"Quetzalcoatl, rightly, is not a god. It's actually a magical beast from another dimension. I heard that it was when the Miracle Continent was first born. This fang used to be a mount summoned by the beast god, and later in order to get rid of the shackles of the beast god, this fang secretly ate the Pegasus of the goddess of harvest, and finally grew a pair of wings, broke through the space barrier and came to the miracle continent from the heavenly realm, and was once a party to the disaster. Later, the beast god was furious when he learned of this, and the Nether wanted to crusade against this fang. However, at that time, the god Quetzalcoatl had already understood his humanity after eating the Pegasus, and he was extremely cunning. Incarnate in human form and hide in the towns inhabited by humans, disguised as missionaries, and build a god idol for himself, intending to collect the power of faith to shape a godhead and completely get rid of the control of the beast god. Fortunately, the beast god finally got the help of the goddess of harvest and successfully found this fang, and finally caught, but because the Quetzalcoatl God has successfully spread a large number of believers here in the human race, it cannot be completely eliminated with a certain power of faith, and the beast god and the goddess of harvest have no choice but to beat it into the realm of the heavenly realm. Let it never be overborn. ”
"How does this story look like a myth and legend in heaven?"
"The epics about Quetzalcoatl are almost all about three thousand years ago, when most of the races in the Miracle Continent were in the stage of enlightenment. Stories are almost equal to myths. ”
"Since it's a myth, is a temple of a demonic beast so terrifying?"
Seeing Ruan Chi's expression of disbelief, Guldia spoke: "Your Excellency, although the Quetzalcoatl God is just a magical beast, it used to be the mount of the Beast God, plus it ate the Pegasus of the Goddess of Harvest, is familiar with human nature, and has attracted a large number of believers, and has established a god statue with the power of faith, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a demigod." ”
Speaking of this, Gulydia paused, and her eyes fell on the ruins of the ruined temple, "All the relics of the gods, more or less have the power of faith to worship the god, and the demigods are no exception, although the Quetzalcoatl God has long since declined, but the remains of the temple that it left behind should not be underestimated, and the power of faith that it has left behind will undergo some special changes over time due to the fact that there are no believers to worship it all year round, such as curses and the like......"
"Curse?"
"Quetzalcoatl is not a true god, so it's not surprising that the power of faith remaining in the ruins of its temple will be transformed into the power of curses, and the reason why those people died suddenly just now is probably related to this." Rachel continued.
After listening to the explanations of the two of them, Ruan Chi not only did not feel afraid, but instead raised a trace of interest, of course, this is not to say that Ruan Chi is bold, but because since just now, the dark blue voice has been talking to him.
Although Deep Blue now occupies the body of the Elven Queen Siphaliv, she can still communicate with Ruan Chi lightly through guò brain waves.
Just as everyone came to the ruins of the Quetzalcoatl Temple, a deep blue voice suddenly sounded.
"Host, large complex sets found ahead."
"Is it another group copy?"
Ruan Chi knew that Deep Blue would be particularly positive once it found a huge energy source, and in her eyes, there was a lot of energy stored in the copy, and sometimes it was much more than the energy collected by Ruan Chi by brushing a bunch of monsters outside.
"In addition to the ordinary energy, this copy of the group contains the primordial essence that forms the basis of the system."
"Primordial matter?"
"It's the power of faith that the woman just said, if you can successfully collect these primordial essences, the system can be completely upgraded, which is also a very beneficial thing for the host."
Ruan Chi's eyes lit up when he heard this, although the game system of "Knight's Heart" has been upgraded twice, but in general, in addition to liberating the artificial intelligence of Deep Blue, there is nothing particularly useful, if a big upgrade can be carried out this time, maybe some new functions will appear.
"Well, I'll try to gather those powers of faith."
After finishing the communication with Deep Blue, Ruan Chi focused his attention on the outside of the ruins, and at this time, at the call of Mahe, a team of adventurers was finally willing to enter the ruins again to explore the way.
This is a C-level adventure group, the name is that awesome, called the Sword of Kings, about thirty people, they entered the ruins one after another, and quickly walked back.
The luck of this team of kings' swords was not bad, no one hung up after entering, and they managed to find that there was an entrance below to enter the depths of the ruins.
Maher made good on his promise, paying each of them ten gold coins, and then asked them to walk together to the entrance of the ruins.
The so-called entrance, that is, a passage to the underground, its location was just behind the statue of the Quetzalcoatl, Ruan Chi followed the team into the ruins, and the system information was also refreshed in front of him.
System: You found the group quest "Quetzalcoatl Temple Ruins".
System: You trigger "Inflate" for 300 seconds.
The first hint Ruan Chi is understandable, indicating that he has entered the scope of the dungeon, but the second hint is what's the trouble? Obviously I didn't do anything, why did I suddenly trigger the debuff.
Is this a curse?
Ruan Chi was stunned, and deliberately looked at the heads of the others, and found that all of them, including Rachel, Guldia and Betty, had this so-called "inflated" debuff icon on their heads.
Ruan Chi was trying to figure out what the function of this debuff was, but at this time, there was a series of screams around him, and there was a sound similar to a balloon popping.
This time, Ruan Chi saw very clearly, in front of the team, the few adventurers closest to this side, their heads suddenly burst like watermelons, and the plasma splashed directly here. (To be continued......)
