Chapter 1157: The Dry Corpse in the Secret Passage

Under the guidance of Xiao Lei, Celent walked quickly in the narrow secret passage, and the secret passage was filled with a cold and damp atmosphere, and it was hard to imagine that under the holy and solemn St. Jessica's Cathedral, there would be such a dark passage.

The darkness of the environment dulled Serent's perception, and after walking for a long time, he suddenly noticed that Xiao Lei, who was leading the way, had stopped.

"Serent, I think you can use the Holy Light Sphere to illuminate it and come and see here. Xiao Lei's voice sounded a little unnatural, as if he was trying to suppress something.

"Won't Nicky be spotted here?" Serent cautiously confirmed.

"Just look at it. Xiao Lei insisted.

Sellant summoned a ball of holy light, and in the faint light of the holy light, he saw that not far ahead, Xiao Lei was pacing back and forth around something on the ground. That thing revealed a corner of the clergy's standard robes, giving Celent a sense of foreboding.

"W-This is Nicky?" Sellant exclaimed as he stepped closer and saw something like that.

Celent couldn't believe his eyes, Nicky, who had just come to life, had turned into a dried corpse lying on the ground. Celent had been meeting Nicky lately, so he was so impressed with him that he recognized him at a glance.

But Nicky, who was supposed to be middle-aged and in the prime of life, had snow-white hair and deep wrinkles on his face, looking like an old man.

Celent leaned down and lightly touched Nicky's shriveled skin, and felt something strange to the touch, just casually touching it and gently moved sideways for a long distance, not at all like the weight of a dried corpse.

After a closer examination, he realized that there was nothing under the skin of the dried corpse, all the flesh and bones were gone, and all that was left here was a shriveled skin that belonged to Nicky. What made Celent feel the chill in his heart the most was that he didn't find any wounds in the skin.

This kind of killing method is so high-end, even on top of the Blood Clan's method of sucking the essence of flesh and blood, even if the person who dies at the hands of the Blood Clan, even if he is sucked into a dry corpse like Nicky, there will be at least two holes left in the corpse.

"Who killed Nicky, and how did that man do it?" asked Serent, bewildered.

"I don't know. Xiao Lei said in a deep voice. He hadn't noticed anything unusual until he found Nicky's body, and if he hadn't seen Nicky enter the place, he would have even suspected that Nicky had been killed and dumped here.

"Could it be the one who entered early?" Celent naturally identified the target of suspicion.

"It's possible, but I'm not entirely sure. Ray sniffed Nicky's corpse carefully, and he couldn't smell any blood or other odors from the dried corpse, such as the body odor of Nicky's killer.

After closing his eyes and sensing carefully for a while, Celent said strangely: "I can't seem to sense the soul breath belonging to Nicky, his soul shouldn't dissipate so quickly." ”

Xiao Lei glanced at Celent with a strange gaze, has the Holy See also begun to study the human soul with the times? It has been too long since he has set foot in the Iliad Continent to make Xiao Lei have such a wonderful misunderstanding. In fact, the method that Celent used to perceive Nicky's soul just now was entirely from the inheritance of the soul god, but he ignored this.

After noticing Xiao Lei's eyes, Celent was slightly shocked in his heart, and he almost showed his feet in front of Xiao Lei. However, it seems that Xiao Lei does not intend to delve into this matter, and Celent breathes a sigh of relief, and at the same time warns himself that he must be very careful.

If the Holy See knew that he had obtained the inheritance of the God of Souls, being burned at the stake would be the best fate for him. Even with Vincent's protection, it won't help, and even Vincent will be the one who will bring him to justice with his own hands.

"This way of sucking flesh and blood essence is very strange and I have never seen it before. "Rao is Xiaolei has seen people, and he has never heard of such a vicious way of killing.

Xiao Lei began to have a trace of fear of the continent that he had not set foot in for a long time, the continent was still in the stage of recuperation on the surface, but there seemed to be many strange changes in the secret, and this mysterious killing method was the best evidence.

"Are we going to go on?" asked Ray, who found that his proud keen perception didn't make a difference in this environment. If the murderer hadn't gone far and was snooping on them nearby, they would have been in great danger at every step of the way.

"Of course!" to Ray's surprise, Celent decided to continue without hesitation. Even if he didn't consider the attraction of such a mysterious thing to him, and was inexplicably killed by Nicky, Celent felt that it was his responsibility to catch the murderer. There was a rare hint of anger in Serent's heart, and he openly killed a mid-level priest in St. Jessica's Cathedral, is it really easy for the Holy See to bully?

"Your thought circuit is really strange, I thought you would back down!" Xiao Lei looked at Serent seriously, and he realized that Serent might really be different from the Holy Cultists he was familiar with. At least Celent had the adventurous spirit that the average Holy Cultist lacks.

"Why hold back?" asked Celent curiously.

"Don't you realize that the murderer could be a threat to us? No, he will definitely be a threat to us. Xiao Lei said speechlessly.

"Isn't this the realization we should have when we enter the secret passage?" Celent had been prepared for danger for a long time, and Nicky's killing only proved it.

"Hey~ You're going to talk about the topic to death!" Xiao Lei was choked and couldn't breathe.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's move on. Silent thought for a moment, and after putting Nicky's dried corpse into the storage bracelet, he pulled out the sword bone dragon wand that Vincent had given him with one hand, and picked up Xiao Lei with the other hand and walked deeper into the secret passage.

"It's so much bolder not to see you, and you haven't even put away the Holy Light Ball. After Xiao Lei broke free from Celent's arms, he squatted on Celant's shoulder and asked.

"I think it's safer, and if the killer sneaks up, at least we'll have time to react. Silent said on full alert, several divine spells already ready to be unleashed.

"If that's the opposite, I'm afraid that the murderer will be frightened by us and hide in the shadows and dare not show his face. That would frustrate both of our goals. Xiao Lei snorted.

It was not impossible for this to happen, and they did not know what the murderer's real purpose was in entering this secret passage. While it's likely that something embedded in the groove was later discovered by Nicky and killed, this was just wishful thinking. Xiao Lei felt that things would not be so simple.
