Chapter 732 Deep in the Mine
After looking at the three life rings in front of him, Xia De looked at the surrounding environment again.
The lifting platform fell in the middle of a mine pit, like a long-abandoned tunnel extending to both sides, and there is no end to see.
There are a series of messy things such as bones, stones, mine picks, glass slags, etc. on the ground. Every distance, there will be heavy wooden pillars in the center of the mine road against the above of the tunnel to prevent the place from collapse completely.
The temperature and gloomyness in the mine are even more terrifying than the deserted villages on the ground. The undead surrounded by patrols have almost reached the point where ordinary people can see it with their naked eyes. However, the evil spirits attracted by the fight between the [Society of the Truth] ring warlocks still do not attack Xiade and the girl in black skirts, and will even take the initiative to surround them.
Those evil spirits are not even simple spirits. When the ring warlocks of the [Truth Society] destroy them, the remains of corpses and flesh will even fall out of the fragments of the soul.
Because the black fog in the mine is more intense, Xia De also tried to inhale a lipstick of the red butterfly that it was filtered out, and therefore learned that the black fog has the functions of undead curse, flesh and blood mutants and soul twisting.
This mountain village did not originate from Mount Sikal, or even from the mainland in the fifth century, but in this era, it was extremely consistent with the disaster in Mibao City at this time. If the relics were out of control and the evil spirits entrenched in this deserted village ran out, the church's sealing ceremony might have been postponed for a long time.
"Professor, are these disgusting things really valuable to study? We still preserve samples of the undead natural disasters in the fifth era. Aren't those samples much more valuable than these rotten meat?"
The young apprentice carried the middle-aged woman on his back, with the high-ring warlock standing in front, while the central warlock gathered the flesh and blood residue left by the distorted evil spirits after they disappeared.
"The Dead Scourge of the Fifth Age?"
Xia De heard a new noun.
"Everything is moving forward. If you are obsessed with the glow of past times, then what truth will you seek."
If this group of people can be more normal on the road to pursuing the truth, it may really bring progress to human civilization.
The ring warlocks of the [Society of the Truth] stood in front, holding a dilapidated map like a village found, and continued to penetrate the mine. They should have explored the village in full and solved most of the puzzles.
Xia De and the girl in black dress followed behind under the protection of the Red Butterflies. Of course, the two were not simply walking. The latter told Xia De about other stories about the mountain village, but she refused to tell what was under the gold mine, which was the source of the black fog.
It’s not that I don’t know, but that I can’t tell Xia De.
The girl in black dress also admitted that she wanted to enter the village not just because of her academic report. She also needed a sacrifice deep in the mine to call back her relatives she had been waiting for for a long time.
The area of the underground mine pit is much larger than that of the ground, and it is even dug like a maze. [Time Perception] has discovered that the time flow is abnormal, so there is a significant difference between the somatosensory time and the normal time in the material world.
At five o'clock in the afternoon of Mount Sikal time, the group finally arrived at the deepest part of the gold mine. At the end of the mine was a bottomless irregular cave leading to the ground, and the thick black mist emerged from below.
The three people of the [Truth Society] were exhausted at this time. The undead near this cave were all the souls of the children who had been sacrificed. Because of the excessive invasion of the power of these black fog, even if they faced one of the evil spirits, Xia De could not guarantee that he could gain the upper hand.
“It’s here.”
The professor lowered his voice at the end of the dim mine tunnel. He gasped, and the collar of the originally neat black formal jacket had been pulled open:
"This is the core of the relics. After letting it get out of control, we will use the Sagima to return to the city. This trip is really not easy. Don't give it to you next time like this."
As he said that, he threw the skull lantern in his hand towards the bottomless hole in front of him. The abyss itself seemed to be responding to his movements. Thicker black mist gushed out, followed by a slight vibration from the ground.
But unfortunately, the skull lantern that could dispel the black mist did not fall into the abyss. The red butterfly flew past and scattered red light marks down his wings. The red butterfly wrapped the pale skull lantern and took it away from the sky above the abyss cave.
After passing by the heads of the [Society of the Truth], the red butterflies came to Xia De and the girl in black dress.
"Who are you?"
Until now, the three of them were surprised to notice that there were two people following behind them.
Xia De glanced at the girl beside him and saw that he had no intention of speaking, so he explained:
"That's right. We came to this village to do some folklore surveys, but we didn't expect to meet you by chance."
More and more red butterflies were flying around the two, reflecting the gold mine path red. Xia De, who was blessed by the red butterflies, only felt that this scene was very gorgeous, and the three people of the [Truth Society] realized that it was indeed a danger to life.
"The whisper of the red butterfly, this is."
Mr. Johnson, the high ring warlock, widened his eyes slightly and retreated:
"Go away!"
The sudden thick fog wrapped them around, but the white fog failed to allow them to enter the narrow room.
"Space-stabilizing halo!"
The Central Warlock has used this move once, and this time Xia De learned his lesson:
"The woman who was knocked unconscious by you was one of the four nails that resurrected from the narrow room?"
He asked, and when he saw that the three of them were just looking at this place nervously without answering, he turned to the girl in the black dress beside him and said:
"I may not be able to beat them."
"Sir, have some confidence in yourself."
The cloth wrapped around the [Night Watcher] was removed, and the bright yellow runes [Wuxin Clear, Sword Slashing Demon] were glowing. Dozens of red butterflies flew from behind and stuck to the sword, giving the sword a trace of scarlet red mark on the sword.
Xia De felt the power.
Holding the sword in both hands, he walked forward, swung the sword forward, and slashed the sword forward. The red sword marks slashed out with force, leaving deep marks on the top and the low ends while flying out.
"Do not to escape!"
Professor Johnson pushed his two companions suddenly, and he went up. Unless he jumped into the bottomless abyss behind him, there was no place to hide in the narrow passage. He squatted slightly, and behind him, the miracle rune [Iron Wall] [Shield], the blasphemy rune [Sturdy], and the enlightenment rune [Castle] flashed inspiration at the same time.
A tall tower shield, like a door panel, appeared in his hand. After smashing it hard to the ground, the scarlet sword mark that was chopped out by Xia De had also come to him.
Xia De didn't even see the whole process, and the magic trick cast by the high-ring warlock completely collapsed. In the dispersed aura, Professor Johnson's skin turned into a brass metallic color, and the core spirit rune [Iron Man] behind him was performing an unknown magic trick. His body collided with the sword mark, directly overturning it to the ground.

A clear sound of shattering came from the ring of life, and cracks appeared in the core spirit rune [Iron Man]. When the high-ring warlock got up again, his skin returned to its original color, but his mouth, nose, eyes and ears were bleeding.
"So strong?"
Xia De looked at the sword in his hand in surprise.
"It's so despicable. He actually uses the power of the relics!"
Professor Johnson was breathless and Shade immediately frowned:
"Don't you use the power of the relics? Moreover, you are three people, we are two people"
"Are you really two 'people'?"
He cursed in Carsonrick's words, ignoring his image, and stretching out his hand to pull over the two companions behind him:
"Even if I die, I will not let a despicable person like you live. Look at my sublimation."
Xia De waved his sword forward again, and wanted to rush forward as the scarlet sword marks slashed out, but the girl in the black dress behind him grabbed him:
"careful!"
There was no sublimation. Professor Johnson took out a dark seal with a sharp corner on the top from his arms and quickly pressed it on his two companions. While the two of them were surprised and widened their eyes, the relics had already taken effect:
"Human Bomb!"
With a loud bang, the explosion almost overturned Xia De to the ground. The explosion produced in such a small space made countless dust and stones scattered above his head, and Xia De almost thought that it was about to be buried here.
This is not a simple explosion, but the complete explosion of the bodies and souls of the two ring warlocks through unknown relics, which is even more cruel than the corpse explosion technique. Even with the protection of the red butterfly in front, Xia De still sensed the powerful power of this "bomb".
Fortunately, here is the interior of the relics, and the terrain is not so easy to change. After the explosion of smoke and dust dissipated, the red butterflies illuminated the surroundings, and the figures of the three of them disappeared. Two of them were blown into pieces, and there was no ashes left, while the high-ring warlock "Professor Johnson" escaped alone.
"He is not even more despicable when he says we are mean, the sage-level relics [Demon Bomb Seal] were not expected to be in the hands of the Truth Society."
The girl in black dress explained in a low voice, then frowned and looked at the woman in a complete body lying on the ground. She was in the center of the explosion, but intact.
"If you run away, run away. I don't believe he is in the center of the explosion, and there will be nothing wrong with him."
Xia De patted the soil on his hair, and then looked at the middle-aged village woman who was intact:
"The ancients said that only death can fight death. The nails that have recovered from the narrow space must be sent away with the power of death."
He summoned the [Challenge of Sin], wrapped the unconscious woman like a mummy, and carried it behind his back. As for the [God's Gift Box], he could only carry it in his hand.
"Sir, the person who is in the way has finally disappeared."
Seeing that Xia De had finished doing this, the girl in black dress smiled and pointed to the abyss in front of her:
“Continue to tell our story.
I discovered the traditional red butterfly Gemini in the village sacrifice, just like us, all the way to the deepest part of the mountain village. But even they could not completely solve the problem here, so they could only seal the village. No existence can leave here, even the living person who accidentally entered it. Therefore, the woman you carried should have died accidentally entered here and then was resurrected by the nascent."
"So how do we leave?"
"It's very simple. This is the source of all disasters, but it's the only way to leave. Sir, do you have the courage to jump with me?"
She stood next to the bottomless cave, turned around and stretched out her right hand to Xia De.
