Final priesthood

Xie Jun suddenly opened his eyes, and his body jumped up from the ground like a conditioned reflex.

Blue electric light burst out from his body, and the two super-alloy thunder-magnetic swords inserted in his back burst out and hovered in the air. The tips of the swords spurted out snake-like electric light, giving him a slight sense of security.

"call--"

Xie Jun looked around for the first time, and his eyes relaxed slightly until he caught the figures of his four companions.

"What happened just now?"

Someone in the team spoke in shock.

Several people's eyes turned to the two people who had descended into the secret room before.

One of the two, an ordinary-looking golden bear man, said with a complex expression: "We just went down and captured the fluctuations of space energy under the secret room."

"Space energy?!"

When Xie Jun and others heard this word, their pupils suddenly shrank.

Almost instantly, they understood what they had just experienced.

Space transfer technology has always been one of the projects that the scientific research team is most eager to crack into the mysterious ancient evil world.

This mysterious power, which humans have yet to fully understand, has been domesticated to a certain extent in the hands of some ancient evil god civilizations.

Space transfer over a certain distance can be achieved through specific runes, magic circles, and spells.

Only a very small number of evil and mysterious realms have such "ancient space transmission devices", and even fewer of them are not damaged and can continue to operate.

Who would have thought that they would be lucky enough to meet one of them.

It's no wonder that the two people who went down before were so surprised at the beginning.

Similar experiences have happened to Huang Xiong who explored secret realms in the past.

Although Xie Jun and the other five people found it strange and unbelievable, after all, they were all old men of the Mysterious God Group. After a brief emotional agitation, their moods quickly calmed down.

"The top priority is to figure out where are we now?"

Someone in the team fiddled with the communicator on their wrist and frowned: "There is still no communication signal. It seems that we have not left the secret realm."

"The position coordinate positioning is affected by space energy and has not returned to normal."

Xie Jun retracted his gaze from checking the communicator, looked around, and said calmly: "Let's briefly explore the surroundings first."

The other four nodded silently.

The place where they woke up was also a dark room similar to a secret room.

There are still some strange runes and patterns of unknown meaning on the ground under your feet.

The five people took notes on the scene and carefully checked the entire room, completely giving up on the idea of ​​being "teleported" back again.

Then they quickly formed a formation and began to cautiously explore the outside of the secret room step by step.

The sky outside was bright and it looked more comfortable than when they explored the secret realm before.

There is not much remnant of death in the air.

The five people looked slightly relaxed, but before they could show any more joy.

The figures of the five people who had just walked out of the secret room were all frozen, and their expressions were frozen on their faces.

I saw——

They were at the edge of a huge white square.

In the square directly in front, six extremely thick black stone pillars stood.

The five outer stone pillars are slightly shorter, surrounding and guarding the tallest stone pillar in the middle.

Under the six stone pillars, the ground was full of decaying corpses.

Layer by layer, they cover the entire square, and are built more than ten meters above the ground.

God knows how many living souls have been buried here.

At the top of each of the five stone pillars stands a black statue.

These statues are not like normal people. They have more or less characteristics of crows, like monsters formed by the combination of humans and crows.

The monster statues on the stone pillars all face inward, making movements similar to worshiping.

The object worshiped by the five statues is a huge, almost oval-shaped black boulder standing quietly on the sixth stone pillar, which is guarded by five stone pillars.

The surface of the boulder is covered with patterns that look like crow's eyes, which looks mysterious and strange.

And above and around all of this.

There is a huge black light shield completely condensed from death air.

The mask appears crystalline, giving it a feeling of indestructibility.

"Didi-di-di-di-"

"Positioning system restored, confirming current location"

The communicators carried by the five people sounded prompts in their ears.

Xie Jun and the others slowly lowered their heads to check.

Soon the pupils constricted.

Every expression has become completely ugly.

I saw it on the secret map in front of the five people.

The cursor representing the current position of the five of them was flashing in a small bright red area at the top of the map.

The atmosphere fell into a silent stagnation, and the air seemed to solidify.

The five people were silent for a long time before a harsh voice slowly sounded.

"Now, we're in trouble."

Lu Yuan gently flapped his seven-meter-long black wings and flew forward unhurriedly in the air more than fifty meters above the ground.

Behind him followed a drone carrying a large bag of things.

Lu Yuan held an energy bar in his hand and ate it one bite after another. While flying, he recorded all the scenes passing below.

The black unexplored areas on the secret map are constantly decreasing.

No drone can penetrate the barrier of the black mist of death over such a long distance. Lu Yuan has a unique advantage in gaining the ability to fly.

He hasn't cleared monsters for a long time, but his current exploration level is still increasing and has reached 19%.

Lu Yuan put the last bite of the energy bar into his mouth and made a crisp "crunch" sound.

I glanced at the two career panels of [Ancient Language Expert] and [Student] and the integration progress was 30%.

“What can these two professions eventually merge into?”

Lu Yuan shook his hands, and the water-like black deathly energy washed away the food residue left between his fingers, thinking casually in his mind.

The flying speed of the Death Air Wings is actually not very fast, Lu Yuan made a rough estimate.

That's about 150 kilometers per hour.

Far less than the speed he could run at full speed on land, let alone a shuttle.

The main advantages are labor saving, convenience and handsomeness.

The death energy consumed during the flight is almost negligible, and it can stop as it flies, and it also satisfies Lu Yuan's "Superman" dream.

Lu Yuan's thoughts moved slightly, and a large amount of death energy gathered and condensed into a dark spear.

The spear has an old-fashioned style, and the body of the spear is covered with dense and gorgeous patterns. He completely copied Mosa's silver spear.

"Swish swish——"

Dozens of black spears fell rapidly like raindrops under Lu Yuan's control.

One big crater after another was blasted into the ground.

Lu Yuan was slightly satisfied.

"In the future, I will be able to fight in the air. Once I open the lv4 [Clothes of Hades], I will say that I am wearing the 'Crow God' exoskeleton armor. I guess some people will believe it."

For Lu Yuan, this exploration of the Wailing Ruins has achieved what he wanted to achieve.

[Tell the Dead (Extraordinary)] The profession was upgraded in a flash. He now has 2 attribute points and 3 skill points saved.

He casually clicked on his property panel and glanced at it.

The strength of 21 points is a bit low, so I added 2 attribute points to the strength.

[Strength: 22 (limit 1)]

"Kakaka-"

The moment he finished adding points, Lu Yuan heard a subtle sound coming from his body, like wires being tightened rapidly.

His muscle fibers are becoming denser and thicker. The gains brought about by this thickening are that under normal conditions, Lu Yuan's punching power has reached a terrifying level of nearly fifty tons without using any force-generating techniques.

Under the ultimate exertion, it is easy to expand this value ten times... Of course, the premise is that Lu Yuan's body can bear it.

In fact, compared to the increase in pure strength, Lu Yuan's increase in strength attributes was mainly to increase the upper limit of the [demon] form.

The strength of the [Demon] form is entirely based on four basic attributes. The improvement of any attribute may bring about a qualitative leap in the strength of the [Demon] form.

"Compared to the first time I activated a limit-breaking perfect form [Demon], my strength has now increased by 1 point, my constitution has increased by 2 points, my agility has increased by 2 points, and my intelligence has increased by a full 3 points."

All-round attributes have been greatly improved.

To be honest, even Lu Yuan is somewhat looking forward to how strong the [Demon] form can be in its current state.

There are still 3 skill points left. Lu Yuan tries to unlock the three skills to be unlocked on [Elephant God. Walking Stance (Extraordinary)].

2 skill points disappeared and one skill was successfully unlocked.

Lu Yuan stared at it for a while, and was considering whether to try to activate it to see the effect.

At this moment, his expression moved slightly, as if he suddenly sensed something, and he suddenly raised his head and looked forward.

——

An extremely huge black "eggshell" appeared before his eyes.

Comparing the map of the secret realm, it is clear that the area covered by this "eggshell" is the bright red restricted area shown on the map.

In other words, this is the capital of the Kingdom of Ancient Brent, the place where the final battle between the Five Saints, the Lord of Ancient Brent and the creatures of the underworld born from meteorites fell from the sky.

The final hiding place of the truth about the Wailing Ruins.

"Crack-"

Lu Yuan gathered his wings and landed gently in front of the black eggshell.

This black eggshell is completely condensed from death air. It is extremely pure and even takes on the form of a solid crystal.

A bit like what is described in the novel - a barrier?

"Dang Dang Dang——"

Lu Yuan reached out and tapped the surface of the black eggshell twice, making a crisp sound like fingers tapping on a glass window.

He dispersed his mental power and controlled the undead crow to search around the edge of the black eggshell.

But no gaps or entrances were found.

Lu Yuan touched his smooth chin, looked at the black eggshell in front of him and fell into deep thought.

"There's no entrance, so how do I get in?"

"You can't just hit it in, right?!"

"That's so rude."

"The space energy has been sent to us inside the 'forbidden zone'. This is a place where even the Flying Bear class has fallen."

The faces of Xie Jun's five-member team looked ugly.

An unexpected change suddenly plunged them into the worst situation.

"Although it is a restricted area, there is no danger so far..."

As the captain, Xie Jun was the first to calm down and make quick decisions.

"Look for an exit, and then try to call for help from the organization."

Several team members looked solemn and nodded in agreement.

They spread out in all directions, carefully exploring the surroundings, trying to find an exit from this area.

Xie Jun took out a silver-white metal disc from his pocket.

This thing is one of the results developed by the scientific research team, and it is actually related to space technology.

But what can be done is to forcibly transmit a part of the signal through space energy. It cannot directly send five living people dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away like what they have experienced before.

Xie Jun looked at the silver-white metal disc in his hand, gritted his teeth, and finally inserted it into a slot of the communicator he carried.

The metal disc began to emit a faint silver light, and soon after the signal, which had no fluctuations at all, began to quickly connect to the Huangxiong organization's network.

Xie Jun looked happy and quickly sent out the distress message.

Just after sending it, before I had time to take another look at the other messages, the silver-white metal disc dimmed, and the communication equipment that had only been "alive" for a few seconds became lifeless again.

A bit of regret flashed in Xie Jun's eyes, but after the rescue signal was successfully sent, his tense nerves relaxed a little.

"I have succeeded"

Xie Jun raised his head and was about to report his results to several team members.

But before he finished speaking, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"Click——"

An extremely clear sound, as if something was breaking, suddenly sounded in the silent square.

Xie Jun saw it with his own eyes.

In the center of the square filled with decaying corpses, the black arakkoa statue at the top of the stone pillar closest to the five of them suddenly moved.

His closed eyes moved slightly.

Then

Suddenly opened.

A pair of strange dark eyes with a hint of scarlet stared down at them, strangely and firmly.
