Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 76 Need Help?

Stairs made of black tentacles.

Rhodes carried a kerosene lamp and paced down.

On the wet, sticky rock barrier, there are ores with a dark green luster.

Large patches of cyan moss climb the rocks near the edge of the tentacle ladder.

"Hey."

Under the bird's beak mask, scorching steam boiled out, constantly filtering the stench like canned herring in the air.

A low murmur echoed in his ears.

In sight, a weird statue gradually appeared.

With a huge body of nearly six meters, it looks like a huge worm-like structure made of pitch-black rocks.

The twisted bodies spiraled and piled up, and the dense black scales were lifelike.

The mouthparts at the front of the worm were divided into several petals, densely covered with a large number of sharp sawtooths, just looking at the statue, a dense layer of goose bumps actually appeared on Rhodes' back.

The cold and biting breath constantly stimulated his brain.

A large amount of black mist filled the M500, counteracting the attack from the spiritual level.

Rhodes forcibly shifted his sight to the front of the statue.

The cold feeling dissipated.

On an altar made of dark rock, four figures in gray robes stood on the four corners of the altar.

The deep murmur continued to echo around them.

Maybe they didn't notice Rhodes' arrival.

Perhaps the prayer ceremony at this moment cannot be disturbed by the outside world.

Or maybe they've lost their hearing.

In short, the four figures in gray robes ignored Rhodes who was walking down the tentacle ladder.

The weird and awkward syllables sounded from the shadows on the other side the moment Rhodes walked down the stairs.

Around Rhodes, several black runes suddenly rose up, and a large amount of sticky black oil gushed out from the ground.

Immediately afterwards, a match was thrown from the darkness.

boom!
The rising and burning flames formed an enveloping circle, preventing Rhodes from moving forward.

Rhodes frowned, and he didn't make any unnecessary responses from the beginning to the end.

He avoided the flames and looked at the dark shadows ahead.

"Stop, don't come near here!"

A familiar calm voice came from the shadows.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes.

"Herbert?"

"Damn it! How did you recognize me! Get out of here! The ceremony is about to end, he is about to recover, he will give me a new life, don't block my way!"

Herbert's voice suddenly became hoarse and crazy, as if he was a different person. This feeling was like facing a lunatic.

Rhode squinted and turned to look at the altar behind.

Is the fool Herbert reminding him?
He took off the glove on his left hand and threw it out of the fire circle.

"Aesop, make them stop."

"Follow your orders."

Violent black tentacles gushed out from the gloves, instantly rolling up the four gray-robed men above the altar, and the tiny tentacles also blocked the mouths of these four at the same time.

"Oh, Aesop feels great."

The purple light ball representing lust floated from Aesop's body and poured into Rhodes' body.

The corner of Rhode's mouth twitched, thinking that he should give this thing some ice cubes to remove the fire after returning home.

"No! You shouldn't have come!"

The fury of the incompetent resounded in the darkness, and Herbert's voice seemed a little weak at this time.

"Damn it! I knew it! I knew it! From the moment you arrive, everything will be messed up by you!!!"

"We should have started the ceremony sooner!!!"

All kinds of chaotic tones came from the dark shadows.

"I don't think resuscitating him is a good idea."

Rhodes' tone was calm, and the biting cold feeling made him feel uncomfortable.

"No! The great god will send down his gift, and I will be born again!"

"That's just what's recorded in the manuscript. How do you know that the summoned demon's gift to you is to give you a new life instead of sending you to that hell?"

Rhodes' tone was still calm, but what he said seemed so straightforward.

"I KNOW! I KNOW! I JUST KNOW!!!"

In the darkness, there was the sound of things being beaten, and Herbert's tone seemed a little irritable again.

"Aesop, take me there."

"As ordered!"

A black tentacle crawled respectfully at Rhodes' feet.

Rhodes stepped on the tentacles, and the black tentacles lifted him up, sent out the burning flame circle, and entered the dark shadow ahead.

In the dim light of a kerosene lamp.

A figure in a gray robe ran wildly towards the cave on the other side.

Rhodes looked around. There were some glass containers, tables, chairs and materials for various experiments. The rock beside him was covered with a black cloth, and some objects covered with black cloth were piled up around the rock.

"Aesop, catch up with it."

The black tentacles chased after the gray-robed figure.

Rhodes carried a kerosene lamp and rummaged through the experimental table, trying to find useful data.

The dark green slime on the ground attracted Rhodes' attention.

He narrowed his eyes and followed the direction of the dark green slime, looking at the rock beside him.

The black cloth covering the rock is very abrupt, and it is obvious that there is something hidden in this kind of place.

Rhodes pulled out the rapier and picked up the black cloth.

"puff!"

Under the black cloth, a long scarlet tongue suddenly stabbed at Rhodes.

Rhodes turned his head and cut off his long tongue with a sword.

He picked up the kerosene lamp and looked carefully, only to find that a struggling ugly ghoul was embedded in the rock.

No, maybe it can't be said that a ghoul was embedded, but a human being was embedded in it and then transformed into a ghoul.

All this is represented by the wriggling dark green worm in the dark green solution on the table.

"Xiuji, give it a ghoul serum." Rhode ordered subconsciously.

"Hmm!" A soft voice echoed in consciousness.

At the waist, the hanging medicine box pendant shook, and gradually transformed into a humanoid black hand holding a ghoul serum.

Ghoul serum was infused into this ghoul.

Rhodes waited for a while, the body of the ghoul twitched, and finally melted into a pool of dark green slime.

Was it transformed from a corpse?

Rhodes squinted his eyes. Generally, only ghouls transformed from corpses would be completely dissolved by the ghoul serum.

Rhodes turned his head and glanced at the pile of objects covered with black cloth beside the rock.

"Xiuji, imitate my legs and walk towards that cave."

Rhodes ordered in consciousness.

"Good."

Although he didn't understand, Xiuji faithfully carried out his master's orders.

The medicine box pendant at the waist fell to the ground silently, gradually expanded, and turned into a pair of feet wearing Martin boots, pacing towards the cave beside it.

"Da da da."

The footsteps gradually moved away.

Rhodes stood where he was, squinting at the objects covered by the black cloth.

He needs to verify one thing.

Long wait.

The objects under the black cloth beside Rhodes suddenly moved.

It is like the panting sound of a human being suddenly floating up to breathe fresh air after holding his breath in the water.

A series of bubbling sounds followed.

"Tsk tsk, stupid people, you have been tricked by me!"

"It's not safe here, you have to move quickly!"

"Damn it, it was almost there, why did that person appear here!"

"You idiot, I warned you!"

"Who are you calling a fool?"

"Damn it! You're an idiot!"

"Stop arguing, we should get out of here!"

The schizophrenic soliloquy echoed in Rhodes' ears.

He listened quietly.

"What should we do! Now that the clones are all used up, how are we going to leave!!!"

"Then we can only drag it away!!"

"Damn it, I don't want to get hurt again! You go!!"

"Bastards, you bastards! I don't want to go!"

Under the mask, Rhodes had a narrow smile on his face. He knocked on the object under the black cloth and said in a low voice:

"Do you need help?"
