Chapter 655 Awakening the Ghost King Embryo
The stairs were in disrepair, and even though the two of them were careful, they still made creaking sounds. This mansion must have been abandoned for many years before the shaman arrived and was in disrepair.

As soon as they arrived on the second floor, the scene came into their eyes, and even Althea couldn't help but tremble.

And Eden's pupils shrank sharply.

On the second floor, I saw dead bodies one after another, lying on both sides of the corridor. The blood on the ground had dried up. It was dark and smelly. They looked like they had been dead for a long time, and they seemed to have died not long ago. The same.

Eden judged from their clothes that most of the people here were shamans from the Last Shaman Society, because their clothes were almost the same as those of the deceased in the study.

"They...all died because of interpreting the gift scroll?"

Eden thought to himself, feeling a little numb.

The clothes on these corpses were in tatters, and they had obviously suffered some kind of terrible massacre, like death caused by an attack. But when Eden took a closer look, he found that there was something inexplicable about the placement of the corpses. The unknown sense of regularity is more like some kind of blood sacrifice than massacre.

Entering a spiritual state, Eden discovered that the spirituality of these corpses had completely dissipated, which meant that these shamans had been dead for quite some time and were unable to channel spirits at all.

Before Eden could think deeply, he heard the slight sound of the rocking chair again.

And...the sound of the rocking chair seems to be slowly approaching.

Eden clenched his fists, stared at the corridor full of corpses, and his breathing became rapid.

After a while, the sound of the rocking chair disappeared. The sound was very soft and small, making it difficult to tell how far the distance between them was.

Althea held the crossbow tightly in her hand and patrolled the corridor excitedly and nervously.

This woman is really crazy. Not only is she not afraid at all, she is also...

Eden sighed inwardly.

They started walking in this wide corridor, during which Eden looked at the corpses on both sides from time to time, as if if he was not careful, these corpses would rise from the ground, teeth and claws bared, revealing a ferocious pale face.

Soon, Eden saw it again, a room with a painting of a ritual snake.

Pushing open the ajar door, there seemed to be nothing of note inside, except for a note on the desk.

The note was stained with blood.

"Leave it to...the shamans to take back this place..."

Eden looked at the note carefully. The handwriting on it was crooked, and the person who wrote the note seemed to be shaking and fearful.

"Shaman brothers, if you see this writing, it means... I am dead.

The interpretation of the gift scroll failed again. Although the number of times we failed is simply overwhelming, the consequences of none of them were as serious as today.

Not only did we fail, but... we awakened the ghost king in the scroll...

Even though the Ghost King is still an embryo, like a baby, but... but no one... no one can escape, no one can escape from here.

Even I, a third-level miracle worker, have to...become its food. It swallows us and turns our strength into nourishment. No one can survive. No one can survive.

Remember my sacrifice, remember our sacrifice!

I believe that even if we fail, we still prove our truth!
Mortals will finally surrender to the shackles and depravity of the Black Iron Age. A great miracle is coming, and the day of destruction is born. As the scroll says, a baby kills everyone in the delivery room! "

The note stopped abruptly at this point, and the last paragraph was more like the crazy ravings of a cultist before his death than the last words at the time of sacrifice.

As the scroll says...that is, the shamans deciphered part of the scroll.

The ghost king embryo was awakened in the scroll...could it be said that the gift scroll is related to the devil...

A baby...killed everyone in the delivery room.

And the ghost king embryo that appeared here... also killed almost everyone in the entire mansion.

Eden felt that he seemed to be getting closer to the truth step by step.

Wait...baby?
The...baby in the painting of the Prophet's Abyss? !

Eden will never forget the sacred and strange religious painting he saw in the Prophet's Abyss.

Then connect it to the sentence "A baby killed everyone in the delivery room."

"The sacrificed baby...is the source of destruction?!"

Eden took a deep breath and finally solved a puzzle.

Even if the puzzle is a bit trivial.

But... at least a big step has been taken.

poof, poof.

Something tapped on his shoulder, and Eden was startled.

When I turned around, I realized it was Althea.

Althea pointed outside the corridor.

Eden walked over, confused at first, then his eyes slowly widened.

In addition to the footprints of the two of them in the dusty corridor... there was also a ring of wheel prints!
What's happening here.

Eden stared at the wheel mark warily.

Althea held the crossbow and glanced nervously at the entire corridor.

For a long time, nothing happened. After hesitation, Eden chose to step out of the room.

They moved on in the corridor.

moment.

Thumb, thump, thump…

The sound of the rocking chair rocking came again. The sound was extremely slight, and then slowly stopped.

Eden's breathing became rapid.

This sound seems a little far away from us... It seems to be coming from the third floor...

But... we obviously heard this sound when we were on the first floor. Did it spread so far? Or did the voice change its location?
And... wheel prints following our footprints...

And, the memory of the deceased in the study. Before returning to the study, he seemed to have been running away in a panic, and something was chasing him.

Eden froze.

The sound they heard was not coming from the second or third floor at all, or even coming from some distant place. Instead, it came from near them and followed them all the time!

A burst of cold air instantly filled his legs, and Eden turned his head suddenly. He looked behind him, and there seemed to be something moving in the shadows where the corpses were piled up.

A rocking chair covered with cobwebs and dust, carrying something, was slowly pushed out of the corridor.

There was no one behind the rocking chair, and the inside of the rocking chair was also empty, but the rocking chair was slowly moving forward, approaching Eden and Althea.

Something was pushing it, and the rocking chair rocked gently, as if it was carrying a silent and invisible baby.

"Ghost King...embryo!"

Eden was stunned for half a second.

Althea had already taken action. She raised the crossbow and shot the silver arrow towards the rocking chair.

The arrow flew quickly and headed straight towards the rocking chair.

Arrows made of silver soaked in mercury are often considered to have the ability to restrain evil spirits.

However, when the arrow flew halfway, it stopped in front of the rocking chair, and then suddenly fell, as if it melted, blending with the blood in the corridor.

Eden reacted, raised his hand, and directly used the Holy Technique.

"Onua!"

The brilliance burst out from the rocking chair in an instant, as if it had the power to drive away everything. However, darkness came in an instant, like a huge black curtain, swallowing up all the brilliance. The most powerful ability of the third-level choir was just to make the rocking chair move forward. The steps were slightly stagnant.

Pale mist flowed from the rocking chair, and the wheel seemed to be dripping with blood. Both of them heard a strange ticking sound. A chill ran up his back, and Eden's limbs instantly stiffened.

The rocking chair slowly approached the two of them, as if a child had found a great toy and wanted to slowly use it, play with it, and torture it.

"Oh God!"

Eden trembled slightly. As soon as he made contact, he instantly understood that they were no match for this ghost king embryo.

"go!"

Althea fired another crossbow arrow and shouted.

Eden came to his senses, he grabbed Althea and chanted ancient words.

Traveling through the spiritual world and teleporting through the spiritual world.

In an instant, their figures appeared on the first floor.

"The door is closed!"

Althea said in surprise.

Eden turned around and found that at some point, the door was already closing in. From his spiritual perspective, pale mist was constantly leaking from the cracks in the door, as if it was sealed by something.

The priest once again used spirit world shuttle and spirit world teleportation in an attempt to rush out of here.

However, as soon as the soul touches the door, it is instantly sent back to the body.

"It sealed the place."

Eden quickly looked towards the study room where the ritual snake was painted.

The study, which was originally ajar, was closed tightly at some point, as if someone had closed the door in fear, refusing their entry.

"Damn!"

Eden drew his sword and slashed several times, but failed to open the door.

Thumb, thump, thump…

The sound of the rocking chair rocking came again.

Eden and Althea turned their heads almost in unison and discovered that the rocking chair had appeared at the top of the stairs at some point.

The rocking chair continued to emit pale mist.

The color of this mist reminded Eden of the evil existence he encountered in the Prophet's Abyss.

As the rocking chair approached, Eden once again felt that his soul seemed to be trembling and twisting. His body seemed to be trying to grow new limbs uncontrollably, and his soul seemed to be being eroded by something.

He was like a disarmed soldier, suddenly losing the power to resist.

At the critical moment, the witchcraft ring on Althea's finger glowed with red light, and then a ball of fire passed by and rushed straight towards the rocking chair.

Although the time was short, Eden shook off this erosion and recited ancient words.

"Kanu, Orossimoor."

Traveling through the spirit world.

"Kazaruti, Orossimoor."

Teleportation to the spiritual world.

Eden used the two ancient words twice in succession. The two figures appeared on the second floor in an instant, and then appeared on the third floor in an instant.

"Heh, heh, heh..."

Althea half-crouched on the ground, breathing heavily, and said with a wry smile:

"It's running like a rat, priest."

Eden looked a little pale;
"yes…"

Just now, I felt a sense of powerlessness, almost exactly the same as when I was in the Prophet's Abyss.

Eden pressed his forehead and couldn't help but recall the scene of that day. At that time, he also felt the distortion and trembling of his soul. It seemed that the stronger the spirituality, the more susceptible it was to erosion.

What exactly is this evil spirit? !

"What should I do?"

Eden murmured.

"The ring... doesn't seem to work here."

After Althea heard this, she looked at the silver ring given by the witch.
"It seems we can't count on the witch."

In the corridor on the third floor, Eden was thinking rapidly in his mind. The sound of the rocking chair kept ringing. The Ghost King embryo was pressing closer, leaving them little time.

Suddenly, Eden thought of something and suddenly grabbed the stone pendant on his chest.

You can travel to the future

but…

needs time!
It takes a quarter of an hour or two to use the stone pendant to travel into the future. This time may be long or short, but now, what they lack most is time!

Eden was sweating profusely, and he didn't know what to do.

Althea noticed something from his expression,
"You...have a solution...right?"

Eden nodded imperceptibly, and after a while, he said feebly:
"But...it takes time, a certain amount of time."

Althea was silent.

Deathly silence suddenly filled the corridor, and the sound of the rocking chair was still ringing. It seemed that it was approaching step by step, and it would not be long before everyone in the delivery room was killed.

As is the death of all shamans.

After a while, Althea broke the silence and said:

"You don't have to say anything...I will...get its attention for you."

Eden was stunned and looked at Althea in surprise.

"That...will be life-threatening, you...you may..."

"Death, right?"

Althea said as if nothing was wrong.

Eden nodded hesitantly.

"I'm not afraid of death, never have been.

Remember, I also told you that if I really want to marry into this barbarian country, it would be better for me to die. "

Althea said softly.

Eden still vaguely remembered that conversation. At that time, Althea looked extremely fragile, with tears in her green eyes. He didn't take those words to heart. He didn't remember the specific content, but Think of it as neurotic nonsense.

"I'm really not afraid of death."

Althea slowly stood up and blinked, as if she was making an innocent joke or going on an incredible adventure. At this time, she glanced at the stairs and smiled easily:

"Everyone knows that aging is a sad playmate. I don't know how many people are unwilling to face it, but they have to live with it because they are afraid of death. They no longer have the energy to drink and have fun, and their youth has quietly gone away. , replaced by the forced peace of mind and forced self-control in old age.

I am different from those people, I am a hedonist and a utilitarian! Let me tell you, when the roses wither, they should be cut off. Why hope that they will bloom again in the future? Before a person reaches old age, he has to think about how to die! "

As she said this, she pushed Eden's shoulder and motioned for him to go to the fourth floor, while she, holding the crossbow, stayed on the third floor, waiting for danger to come.
