apocalypse night

Chapter 433

However, when Guo Zong was very worried.

Bang!

There was a sound of neat and heavy steps, Guo Zong turned his head and looked behind.

Eleven blood knights appeared behind the blood pit, leading a knight in heavy armor who was armed from head to toe and armed with a spear.

They lined up neatly in a long line, like a guard of honor to welcome guests.

At this moment, Hedley and the others rushed forward like a broken bamboo, and the corpse guards who came up to stop them were swept away like garbage in an instant.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the blood pit, they still encountered no obstacles.

Shi Yao became more and more uneasy, she couldn't help reminding.

"We have penetrated so deep, and these monsters are still indifferent. What kind of trap are they setting?"

"Hmph! Now that's the case, so what about the traps? I'm sure I'll make it even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire. I want to see what tricks they can play."

Dimlock's eyes were full of rebellion, without any fear.

Shi Yao was quite shocked when she heard Admiral Dimlock's words.At this moment, she personally felt the gap between herself and Dimlock, which was not only a gap in strength, but also a gap in tolerance and mentality.

……

A moment later, Shi Yao and the others arrived at the front of the blood pit very smoothly, and Colonel Aroko and the others were locked in the cage hanging from the cross.

On the bloody pit, there is a road extending from the wall, passing through the cross to the opposite side.

On the top of the castle opposite the Blood Pit, there is a protruding watchtower, on which is Mellon in a gorgeous golden starry robe and a triple crown on his head.

Standing next to Mellon was a fearsome guard knight, while kneeling in front of him were several aged captives.

If you observe carefully, you will find that several captives are translation scholars brought in by various alliances.

At this time, each of them showed an expression of incomparable fear. That kind of fear was not only the fear of death, but more spiritual fear.

"General Dimlock!"

Aroke waited for the captives, shouting excitedly.

Amiron and other members of Gray Scorpion were also very happy to see Baikatu and others.

"Great."

On the contrary, Lieutenant Colonel Guo Zong and others shouted anxiously when they saw Shi Yao.

"Shi Yao, hurry up, this is a trap."

……

Shi Yao and the others looked at their companions in front of them, instinctively wanting to rush up and save them.

But they didn't act rashly, because on the opposite side of the blood pit, a row of blood knights led troops stood there.

They are not for display.

But what puzzled Admiral Dimlock and the others was that they were all killed here, and the other side was still indifferent. What exactly do these monsters want to do?
Rumble!
Just at this time, a change occurred, and pillars rose from the bottom of the cross standing in the center of the blood pit.

These columns fitted the cross so that its half-waist formed a circular arena.

"What do these monsters want?"

Baikatu said with a slight frown.

Shi Yao looked at this scene and said in a deep voice.

"I don't know, but the current scene, don't you think it's a bit like an arena?"

"You mean, these monsters are going to play heads-up with us?"

Lieutenant General Hedley thought it was ridiculous, but the current situation is really quite similar.

"Look first."

Colonel Dimlock also felt very weird, so he didn't act rashly.

However, at this moment, King Mellon showed a creepy smile on his withered face, and slowly stood up from the throne.

He looked down at Dimlock and others like a god, and then opened his mouth to make a jerky and substandard voice.

"Guests from afar, welcome to Qianyin Kingdom."

Although Mellon's voice was not very loud, it was heard very clearly by Shi Yao and the others.What shocked them even more was that the other party was speaking their own language.

"Can this guy speak our language?"

Baikatu looked like a ghost, this was the first time he had seen creatures from other worlds able to speak and communicate.

Dimlock narrowed his eyes and said.

"The first intelligent creature capable of communication."

In fact, if you observe Dimlock's expression carefully, you can find a faint glint in his eyes.

At this moment, he was thinking about the possibility of capturing the other party alive.

You must know that the Three Leagues have been opening up wasteland for so long, this is the first time they have encountered a living body that can communicate.

The significance of this is self-evident.

"How did he speak our language?"

Shi Yao asked in astonishment.

"It should be learned temporarily. If you listen carefully to his pronunciation, you will find that it is not very standard. And one of the people kneeling on the observation deck is our accompanying language expert."

Hedley was very keenly aware of the key points, and said in a deep voice.

"Such a terrifying learning ability, should we respond to him?"

Shi Yao couldn't help asking in surprise.

"I come."

Admiral Dimlock then took a step forward alone.

Immediately, Mellon's eyes fell on Dimlock.

"Respect King Mellon, we don't want to be your enemy, please let our companions go."

Dimlock responded in a deep voice.

"Do you think it's a childish lie?"

Mellon responded with substandard words.

Although Shi Yao and the others listened intermittently, they still roughly figured out the meaning, and the other party didn't believe what they said.

"Then there's nothing to talk about."

A stern look flashed in Admiral Dimlock's eyes, and he replied unceremoniously.

"It's okay if you want to save your pussy. We're going to fight three duels. If you can win two games, then you can take all the pussy. But if you lose, you have to keep all of them." Down."

Mellon said in a low voice.

When Dimlock and the others heard Mellon's words, they all showed suspicion. They didn't expect that the other party would really want to compete with them.

"Is this old guy's words credible? Don't be fooled."

Baikatu asked warily.

"You think everyone is like your Gray Alliance, talking like farting, the aborigines here believe in the code of gods and knights."

Shi Yao said in a cold voice, even though they are working together now, it doesn't mean they have a good relationship.

You must know that Shi Yao and the others were still besieged by Baikatu before, and many people died.

"Hmph, can reputation be eaten? Only idiots believe in that."

Baikatu replied disapprovingly.

"Okay, stop arguing! I think Dimlock is feasible. You can see that the opponent's subordinates are all knights. And King Mellon is also a legend in this world. His promise should be credible."

Hedri interrupted Baikatu and Shi Yao, and said to Dimlock.

After listening to Hedley's words, Dimlock spoke to Melon calmly.

"We agreed."

"Very well, Donelo!"

Mellon directly ordered a blood knight.

Immediately, a blood knight holding a red spear stood out from the eleven blood knights.Donilo first turned around and saluted Mellon, then walked towards the arena in the center of the Pit of Blood.

Shi Yao looked at the blood knight who appeared on the stage, her eyes moved slightly and said.

"That blood knight surrounded and suppressed us, and his strength is very strong."

"I come."

Baikatu twisted his neck, a little eager to try.

At this time, Admiral Dimlock directly reached out his hand to stop Baikatu, and analyzed in a low voice.

"Don't mess around, let's analyze it, two wins in three games! If I guessed correctly, the opponent should not send the strongest player in the first game. If we can send someone who is not the strongest, but is If I can win the first game, then I can play Stud myself in the second game.”

"Then I'll come."

After listening to Dimlock's words, Hedley sighed and said.

"Is your injury okay?"

Dimlock turned to look at Hedley and asked.

If Hedley is in a state of complete victory, he is definitely not worried.But now he lost his weapon and his body was injured.

"It's okay if I can't. No matter how bad my condition is, I'm better than the two of them."

Hadley said helplessly.If Shi Yao had been able to convince their masters back then, he wouldn't have to go off in person, that kid's fighting power is stronger.

When Baikatu and Shiyao heard Hedri's words, although they wanted to refute, they still didn't speak in the end.There is no way that the two of them are indeed not as strong as Hedley. Even if Hedley is not in good condition, they are not sure that they can beat him.

"Okay, then the first game will be up to you."

Admiral Dimlock agreed after pondering for a few seconds.

So Hedley pulled out a delicate sky-blue long sword, which was embedded with a P3 triangular atomic module.

"Wait, I will lend you the blade of greed."

Dimlock pulled out the red long sword pinned to his waist and handed it to Hedri.At least his weapon is Cube Atomic Module·P2, and its lethality will be relatively high.

Hedley was not pretentious, and immediately took back his spare sword, the Water Blue Blade, and took the Greed Blade and walked towards the arena in the center of the pit alone.

……

Thousand Hidden Holy Land.

Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi walked all the way in.

The two walked very slowly. On the one hand, they were looking at things along the way, for fear of missing particularly valuable items.

Another reason is that they are afraid of touching some mechanism.

As they walked, Shen Qiu and the two came to an area where lifelike statues of beauties were piled up one after another.

These statues are like real people in terms of body proportions and facial features. They are very beautiful, and even give people an illusion, as if these statues of beautiful women are like living people.

"It's so beautiful, this craftsmanship is really good! It seems that King Qianyin understands art."

Looking at these beautiful statues, Yun Xiaoxi couldn't help but praise them.

After listening to Yun Xiaoxi's words, Shen Qiu turned to look at the statues, and a reminder popped up on the bracelet.

"Living figurines."

With a strange expression on his face, he said to Yun Xiaoxi.

"Do you know what these statues are made of?"

"Isn't it made of mud?"

"These are all made by living people. Inside each statue is the skeleton of a living person. If you don't believe me, you can split one and have a look." "Ah? Isn't it, so evil?"

Yun Xiaoxi was also startled, and then walked away, not interested in approaching at all.

"Nothing surprising."

"But isn't this the holy place of Qianyin Kingdom? Why are these placed?"

"Is the so-called holy place really a holy place? Or is it the king's own holy place?"

Shen Qiu replied with a smile.

"Uh, that Mellon played so perverted?"

"It's not him. It should be the previous king. Look at these statues. They are stacked together. They are not normally placed like this."

"If you put it this way, these statues really look like they have been cleaned out, just like sweeping garbage."

Yun Xiaoxi replied suddenly.

"Well, regardless of these statues, let's go inside."

Shen Qiu continued to walk forward.

Yun Xiaoxi hurriedly followed, not daring to stay in this statue area anymore, these lifelike statues of beauties are extremely infiltrating.

Just as they walked tens of meters inside, they saw shelves one after another.

There are armors hanging on these shelves, the most striking of which is the red armor similar to that worn by the blood knight. There is also a triangular atomic module embedded in the chest of the armor.

In addition to these armors, there are many gorgeous swords, spears, giant axes and other weapons.

However, many of these weapons do not have atomic modules embedded in them, and more of them are ordinary weapons.

But with so much equipment hanging here, it still gives people a very strong visual impact.

"A lot of equipment."

Looking at the equipment, Yun Xiaoxi exclaimed.

Shen Qiu stepped forward to check one by one, there were very few equipment with modules, and the level of the embedded modules was not high, the highest was that set of red armor equipment.

As for the gene module, I didn't see it all the way.

Shen Qiu couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

This is Yun Xiaoxi who came up and asked curiously.

"What's the matter, why don't you look very happy, aren't these things bad?"

"There's not much valuable equipment, but it's normal. The monsters in the Qianyin Kingdom are armed in a unified way. It's unlikely that the weapons will get moldy here, and more of them are for their own use."

"Maybe there are better ones inside, isn't this the end yet?"

"Well, by the way, your equipment is not very good. This set of red armor is very good. Do you want it?"

Shen Qiu looked at Yun Xiaoxi and asked.

Yun Xiaoxi looked at the burly armor, shook her head and replied.

"This set of armor is too big. My body is not good enough to support it. Moreover, this equipment looks like heavy armor. Even if I can really wear it, it will affect my speed."

"Yes, then I will put away these valuable equipment first."

Shen Qiu took out the mechanical capsule, which was still on the ground, and stuffed the equipment embedded with atomic modules into it.

Within a few minutes, Shen Qiu was done. He put away the mechanical capsule and continued walking inside with Yun Xiaoxi.

Soon they saw a large number of transparent bottles and utensils.

Some glass jars are filled with special liquids in which various biological tissues are soaked.

However, due to incomplete preservation, it can be seen that many biological tissues have turned black, or the water has evaporated and eroded.

Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi just looked around for a while, they didn't have the slightest intention to touch, so they continued to walk inside.

Not long after, the two came to the deepest part of Qianyin Holy Land.

There are rows of bookshelves full of books.

And the bookshelves are placed in a circular orientation.

Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi were stunned looking at these bookshelves, not because they were shocked by the size of these books, but because they were very familiar with these books and the furnishings.

"Shen Qiu, do you think these bookshelves look familiar?"

Yun Xiaoxi asked uncertainly.

"It doesn't look familiar. Don't you think that this place is almost exactly the same as the library in the cathedral? Even the style and color of the bookshelves are the same."

Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes and said.

"Um, it seems to be true after you say so, what's going on?"

Yun Xiaoxi immediately reacted.

"I don't know, let's not talk about it, let's go inside and have a look. If the two sides are the same, it proves that there is an altar inside."

Shen Qiu's eyes flickered, and he said excitedly.

"it is good!"

Yun Xiaoxi responded immediately.

The two kept walking, and soon they came to the depths of the bookshelf.

In front of you, you can see an altar with multiple layers of cobblestones, and the entire altar is painted with golden and messy hieroglyphs.

On the most raised part of the altar, there is also a boxy black metal box, but the surface of this metal box is very smooth, without any stripes or lines.

There is also a column on the right side of the altar, and a purple book is also placed on it. The surface of the book is imprinted with an eye-shaped sun pattern, and incomprehensible words are engraved on it.

The cover of this purple book is exactly the same as the Theory of Evolution in Shen Qiu's hands, but it is not clear whether the content inside is the same.

"Shen Qiu, there is really an altar, and the things on it are exactly the same as the things we took away before!"

Yun Xiaoxi's head was a little messy.

Shen Qiu stared at the box on the altar and the things on the pillars, his expression was constantly changing, and he spoke after a long time.

"I have a wild guess."

"What guess?"

"The boxes and books in our hands should have been here originally. Because the Theory of Evolution in my hands is signed by Mellon, if I'm not mistaken, it should be Irene who replaced the above things and took away the two things in our hands thing."

"What's that stuff on it? A fake?"

"It may be a fake, but it may not be a fake, but something else, because they seem to be made of very high-end materials."

"So that's the case, shall we still take the things on the altar?"

"Take it, maybe there will be surprises. But it's probably not that easy to take. I feel that there must be a deadly mechanism here."

Shen Qiu narrowed his eyes and observed the altar carefully, he instinctively felt the danger.

"What should I do?"

"It's actually very simple. Since Irene didn't take the thing directly before, but replaced the thing on it before taking it away, then in all likelihood, the mechanism trigger device is under the thing. We just need to learn from Irene's old trick and repeat the thing. Replacement, nine out of ten will succeed."

"But shouldn't Mellon's things be more valuable? Wouldn't it be a loss for you to replace them?"

"Who is more valuable is not calculated in this way. The reason why Irene replaced things. It was measured from her own point of view, but our standards of measurement are different. Maybe her things are more valuable to us. And One thing, Mellon’s stuff, we’ve already taken away the core stuff, and the remaining stuff is not very valuable to us, so we can give it a go.”

"All right"

After Shen Qiu's analysis, Yun Xiaoxi also felt that it made sense, so she didn't stop her.

Shen Qiu immediately took out the mechanical capsule to activate it and threw it on the ground, took out the theory of evolution from it, turned to Yun Xiaoxi and said.

"I need your help."

"Well, you say!"

"Let's experiment with the books on that pillar first. If there is no problem after getting closer, you can stand on the opposite side of the pillar to pick up the books."

"I see."

"Let's go"

Shen Qiu took Yun Xiaoxi and walked towards the pillar cautiously.

The two walked very slowly, keeping an eye on their feet, for fear that something might go wrong.

But fortunately, she finally walked in front of the pillar smoothly, and Yun Xiaoxi then slowly walked around behind the pillar.

After both of them arrived at the designated positions, they couldn't help but glanced at each other and nodded.

Then Shen Qiu aligned the theory of evolution in his hand with the purple books placed above.

Yun Xiaoxi looked at this scene, and her heart was raised in her throat. You must know that this behavior is very risky.

Immediately, Shen Qiu gave Yun Xiaoxi a startling look, and with the speed of being single for more than 20 years, he pushed the theory of evolution up, and pushed the purple book directly off the pillar.

Yun Xiaoxi quickly stretched out her hand to catch the falling theory of evolution.

After doing all this, the two stood motionless in place, looking around constantly.

However, the Holy Land is quiet and everything is normal.

After confirming that there was no problem, Shen Qiu and Yun Xiaoxi heaved a sigh of relief.

"Here, take a look at this book, is it the same as your Theory of Evolution?"

Yun Xiaoxi returned the same way, and handed the purple book she received to Shen Qiu.

Shen Qiu took it and opened it for a look, although he couldn't understand the words on it.But judging from the pattern and handwriting, it is obvious that the two books are different, but it is a pity that he can't understand them.

However, at this moment, the ring on Shen Qiu's hand radiated light again.

The entire purple book lit up, and for a moment Shen Qiu was in a trance and immersed himself in it.

"Can Shen Qiu understand? What is this book about?"

Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously.

However, Shen Qiu didn't answer Yun Xiaoxi's words. He was like a bookworm, devoting himself to reading this book, flipping the pages non-stop.

Seeing this, Yun Xiaoxi didn't bother Shen Qiu, and just stood beside her.

Time passed little by little.

When Shen Qiu came back to his senses, he turned to the last page of the book in his hand.

He closed the book.

At this time, Yun Xiaoxi, who was in a daze, asked happily when she heard the sound of the book being closed.

"Shen Qiu, have you finished watching?"

"Well, how long have I been watching?"

"It's been a long time, almost an hour, do you understand what's inside?"

"Understood, this book is also called The Theory of Evolution, but its author is not Mellon, but Irene!"

Shen Qiu explained to Yun Xiaoxi.

"Huh? What's the difference?"

"If Mellon's theory of evolution is about various taboo experiments, then Irene's book is more about the eternal flower. And Irene has been working hard to solve the side effects of the eternal flower. The purple Eternal Flower is the final product."

"What's the use of that flower?"

Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously.

"The purple eternal flower is a special variety jointly researched by Irene and Melon. Its effect can suppress the side effects of conventional eternal flowers. But the price is that the person who eats it may lose immortality and power, so it is hidden by Melon In the box."

"Oh, so it's the antidote!"

"It's not exactly an antidote. There should be other effects, but they haven't been researched yet, but one thing is clear."

"what?"

"If Melon is given this flower to eat, then Mellon may regain some sanity and fall into a weak state at the same time, so it may be relatively easier to deal with."

Shen Qiu pondered and said.

"Uh, but isn't that flower your mission reward?"

Yun Xiaoxi asked slightly startled.

"Of course we don't have to do this. If we are strong enough, we can forcefully kill it."

"Ah? Then do you want to feed Melon?"

"Let's talk about this, there is still one thing on the altar that I haven't taken."

Shen Qiu stared at the objects on the altar and said.

"Uh, the one on the altar doesn't seem to be that easy to get? I remember that the cathedral was touched, and a lot of bugs were released in the end."

Yun Xiaoxi said with lingering fear.

"Ok, I know."

Shen Qiu nodded slightly, then walked to the mechanical capsule, took out the purple eternal flower from inside and weighed it.

Immediately, he took out the compressed biscuits and weighed them in his hand, then unpacked and broke off some.

"Shen Qiu, what are you doing?"

Yun Xiaoxi asked curiously.

"Although the mechanism craftsmanship of this era is relatively rough, and it is not very sensitive to weight. But just in case, I still put things of the same weight back into the box, and try to restore the box to the same weight. As for that The key, probably put it in last, because if that key is always in the box, how can the front door be opened?"

Shen Qiu roughly explained it.
