The road leading to the depths of the tomb is not easy to walk, this road is buried with sharp stones like blades. Baku cannot use Yuan Li and can only move forward like ordinary people. This is a rule left by the ancestors, if you can't do it, you are not qualified to take out the blood of the devil.
Baku gritted his teeth and walked forward one step at a time. The piercing pain from his feet made his eyes full of blood red. This pain awakened his memory, everything was like returning to the night two years ago.
That night was also stained with blood, and when his wife and son died before his eyes, Baku was more painful than he is now. That kind of spiritual pain is completely beyond. At that time, the seeds of revenge were quietly planted, and after two years of nurturing, it finally germinated and bloomed. Baku vowed that he would return this pain a hundredfold to the people of Suer.
Outside the cave, a leader said worriedly: "Perhaps we shouldn't let Baku in."
King Kong shook his head and said, "It's useless. I can see the look in Baku clearly. Even if we don't allow him, he will do everything possible to get in. Moreover, this is not a good thing. Baku is willing to be a devil. As long as he destroys Suhl City, we don’t have to worry about those outsiders."
"Is that really the case? I only worry that it will lead to greater disaster."
King Kong's heart sank, but he didn't say anything. He looked into the cave and said nothing.
Baku does not know how long it has been, maybe one day? Maybe a century? After the pain becomes numb, time loses its meaning. He just moved forward mechanically, leaving a series of blood marks behind him. He felt his body became heavy because of too much blood flowing from his feet. If a normal person has passed out, Baku still gritted his teeth with the support of the fire of revenge to continue walking.
Finally, he reached the end. At the end is a hall, an underground hall supported by natural stone pillars. Around the hall, there are constant flames and corners, and the air here is full of the smell of sulfur. Baku vaguely remembers that it seems that thousands of years ago, the Aspen Mountains had multiple craters. It's just that the volcano has entered a period of dormancy and the mountain is covered by trees, so people have forgotten this fact.
Baku smiled, he could feel slight vibrations from time to time under the ground, maybe the cemetery of the ancestors of Bymon was built on the crater. There was a circle of skulls under the stone pillars in the hall, but the surrounding walls were filled with countless bones. These bones are embedded in the wall, and I don't know how they got it.
The bones in this cemetery were all warriors who sacrificed in order to seal the demons. Now, the heroic spirits of these warriors are guarding the hall, guarding the remaining demon blood.
There is a circular stone platform in the middle of the underground hall, and on it, a dusty iron box is quietly enshrined on the platform. Baku walked over and opened the box forcefully. Inside the box are three transparent, long strips. In them, the dark red blood rolled slowly as if it had its own will. If Alan was here, he would be very surprised, because the thing storing the devil's blood turned out to be a test tube!
Baku picked up one of the test tubes. When the test tube was picked up, there seemed to be a corner of some kind in the bottom of the box. Baku thought for a while, then picked up another one, and the sign became more obvious. If you look closely, it is not difficult to see that it seems to be a pattern of a rose flower.
A golden rose.
Of course, Baku does not care about these. He unplugged the cork of the test tube and poured it into his mouth. The devil's blood in the test tube was almost like an escaped beast, turning into a burst of red electricity and shooting it into Baku's mouth. Baku drank two bottles of demon blood in a row, and then looked at the test tube, the inside was unexpectedly clean. It was so clean, not even a drop of blood was left behind.
When Baku was wondering whether the demon blood had any effect, his heart suddenly hurt, and he couldn't help calling out. Then the temperature of his whole body rose sharply, and the muscles under his skin squirmed violently like worms. Baku felt his body about to split, and screamed in pain.
The call faintly reached King Kong's ears through the cave.
The head of the worshiper couldn't help but twist his brows together.
"The devil actually refers to the blood of the devil."
As the sun approaches dusk, Caesar wakes up after a long nap, much better than morning. Allen had changed his dress and put on loose and comfortable casual clothes. According to the legend of the Bymon, when their ancestors migrated from other places to the Aspen Mountains, they alerted a demon in the mountains. In the end, the Warriors of the Bymon subdued the devil, but Ji Kun, one of the bravest leaders at the time, was bitten by the devil.
Soon after, Ji Kun's soul was contaminated and he turned into a demon. And his power is more terrifying than the demon who bit him. After an earth-shattering battle, the strong among the Bymon were killed and wounded. There were only two of the more than ten headmen, and more than a thousand warriors died before finally killing Ji Kun.
At that time, there were two remaining leaders, one Maya and the other Sagong. Maya soon discovered that she was contaminated by Jikun. In order to prevent herself from becoming a demon, this female leader chose to exterminate herself. But she wants Sagong to take advantage of her death, and keep her blood, which is now the blood of the devil.
The Sagong stored the devil's blood in the tomb of the Bymon. In order to prevent the tribe from accidentally using the devil's blood, he weaved a lie. It is claimed that the devil who polluted Jiqun did not die. As for the truth, only a few people know it and it has been passed down from generation to generation.
"Baku also learned about the devil's blood from me. After I get well, I must return to the Aspen Mountains to prevent him from using the devil's blood." Caesar sighed.
Alan frowned: "Since demon blood can contaminate you and turn you into demons, why does Maya keep it?"
"Regarding this issue, King Kong and I privately speculated that it might be to give the Bymen a chance to fight back." Caesar said: "Because Sagong died that year, he once said so. Once the worshipers are destroyed , As long as someone voluntarily turns into a demon, he can go to the ancestral cemetery to take out the devil’s blood. Of course, this person needs to be nodded and agreed by all the heads of the same period before entering the cemetery."
"It turns out that's the case."
At this time, Father Miró brought dinner. Allen got up and said, "You can eat something, I won't disturb you."
He turned to leave.
Caesar stopped him: "Alan, if... if he chooses to turn into a demon in Baku, I want to ask you. Probably only with your power can I have a chance to kill him."
"I understand."
Allen pushed the door out, in the corridor outside the door, Lucy leaned against the wall. She raised her eyebrows: "Do you really believe that there are demons in this world, those lives in religious legends?"
"No, judging from Caesar's description, the so-called demon is more like some kind of genetic mutation, or virus carrier. Like the head man Jiqun, his symptoms are not like being infected by the so-called demon. Viruses? It’s just that the Bymons can’t explain this phenomenon, so they named them the devil. Coupled with the age, after the ancestors of the past, there are things like demons."
"In that case, I seem to have seen such things as genetic mutations through viral infections." Lucy frowned.
Allen half-joked: "Don't tell me, this is another kind of biological weapon of your Idahua star?"
"Since Elisa can reach the star of Pluto, God knows if the same spacecraft will visit this planet in the past. It's really hard to say."
Allen had a headache after listening.
On the third day of Edward's wedding, the sky today looked strangely gloomy. The sky in the direction of the Aspen Mountains can be described as a plume cloud, as if the entire sky is about to collapse. As a result, people in Suhl today feel depressed for no reason, as if the air pressure in the entire city has risen a little for it.
Allen frowned and looked at this strange weather. Compared with ordinary people, people like them who can drive the source force are more sensitive to natural changes. Allen has been feeling a little irritable since the morning, as if something big is about to happen, but with a lot of clues, can't think of what went wrong.
This is true for people, and even more so for animals. The fierce hounds of the city defense team usually lie in the kennel unwilling to come out today, which makes the soldier Harder very puzzled. Harder is responsible for raising these dogs and training them. For him, even with his eyes closed, he can call out the name of every hound in the kennel.
"Zola, Jitt...what's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Harder tried his best to bring out two of his best hounds from the kennel. The other hounds did not want to leave the dog at all. Give up one step, life is like an extinction disaster is about to come.
The hound named Zola has a small horn missing on the left ear, which is very easy to recognize. It crouched under Harder's army boots and screamed weakly. Even if Harder took out his favorite barbecue/intestine, Zola just sniffed it twice and shrugged his head not to move.
The strange atmosphere is permeating the military camp of the city defense team~EbookFREE.me~ Today is an extraordinarily long time, but no matter how long it is, time will move forward meticulously. After the sun went down, I don't know which hound barked first, and all the dogs joined the barking ranks. Not only that, but the barking sound spread to the city, and people found that cats and dogs had become extremely manic. The mice scrambled to get up from the sewer, scurrying around like blind flies. Even the most docile horse in normal times rushed into the fence of the stable, and the whole city of Suer was filled with the sounds of various animals.
An unexplainable heart palpitations filled everyone's heart. People stay at home consciously, closing doors and windows tightly. In the temple of Sarbis, the candle was burning high, and an elderly priest was chanting hymns towards the statue of the God of War. Suddenly, from a very remote place outside the temple, there was a vaguely undetectable, but extremely screaming scream.
The old priest suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
(Tomorrow Ching Ming, I will go back to the countryside to worship the ancestors, so please take a day off for everyone~)
