The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 354 The Weird Ritual
"Little fox, your current behavior is called empathy in psychology."

Suzaku held his chin with one hand, looked out the car window, and said in a calm voice, "After you woke up, you had to kill the stepfather you once loved deeply. You are in pain, guilty, and lonely. You can't live without finding sustenance for this relationship, and I It just happened, so you transferred those feelings to me, and that was it.”

Jianghu's voice was a little angry: "I know I'm empathizing, can't I?"

Suzaku was silent.

"Is empathy shameful?" Jianghu smiled coldly: "Elder Zhuque, you don't have to feel any burden. I treat you as a relative, but you can still treat me as a subordinate or even a tool. It doesn't matter. I don't care. This is My own business."

"Jianghu." This time Suzaku called him by his full name: "You misunderstood."

Jianghu was stunned.

"I am telling you this not to hurt your heart." Suzaku's eyes softened: "But I want to tell you that people are very strong creatures. Even if I am gone, even if you are alone again one day, You can also live well."

Jianghu bit her lip tightly, her eyes red.

"Did you listen to what I said?" Suzaku asked.

"Yes! Elder Zhuque." Jianghu replied seriously.

"Ahem." A colorless cough came from the headset: "It's a very touching scene. All of us in the car were forced to listen to it. Remember to turn off the microphone next time."

"I [silence]!" Suzaku screamed, suddenly blushing: "Taishe is dead, I actually forgot to turn off the wheat..."

"Captain!" Jianghu stepped on the brakes: "Look."

Suzaku looked towards Jianghu's car window and immediately frowned.

In front of me is a garden with a slight slope, as big as a football field.

The garden is full of sunflowers. The half-meter-high blood mist submerged half of the flower branches of the sunflowers. The sunflowers clustered together seem to be growing in a sea of ​​blood. The picture is strange and beautiful.

That huge white round beam, entangled with countless blood mist vines, rises from the center of the sunflower sea.

Suzaku's visual inspection showed that it was at least 15 meters in diameter.

"Get out of the car and get into combat mode."

Suzaku said into the intercom.

The doors of two commercial vehicles parked on the boulevard opened at the same time, and the well-trained awakeners quickly got out of the car.

Groups of ten stood back to back, covering each other.

Suzaku waved gently, and everyone walked carefully into the sea of ​​sunflowers. While pushing aside the waist-high sunflowers, they approached the weird blood-colored light beam.

Wu Se said to a thin girl with a blue ponytail among the team members: "Green grass, explore the way."

"Yes."

The girl named Qingcao closed her eyes and muttered something.

In less than ten seconds, the air flow around everyone suddenly became chaotic, and a small but dense buzzing sound appeared.

Butterflies, bees, dragonflies and various ladybugs kept flying out of the sea of ​​flowers and hovering over the top of the grass in a dense mass. Soon, they flew towards the blood pillar not far away.

Not only that, everyone’s feet also made a tiny rustling sound.

Although it was obscured by the blood mist, Suzaku guessed that various reptiles were moving.

Qingcao's talent should be [King of Kun], serial number 64, which can control all insects within a certain range.

The army of countless insects flew towards the destination. In Suzaku's eyes, they looked like a burst of colorful mist, drifting through the sea of ​​flowers bathed in the blood moon and gathering towards the blood-colored light pillar.

At first, this army of insects tried to get into the pillar of blood, but soon they stopped outside the pillar of light and could only keep circling around.

After about half a minute, the insect army began to disperse and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Qingcao's eyes widened, her face turned pale, and her voice trembled slightly: "The insects were out of control and escaped."

"What's going on?" Wu Se asked.

Qingcao shook his head: "They...feel fear."

Everyone's faces darkened.

Although they had long expected the danger of this trip and were prepared to make sacrifices, at this moment, everyone still felt a fear of the unknown in their bones.

Suzaku took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and took the lead to move forward: "Everyone, follow." Jianghu followed closely, and the others followed closely.

One minute later, all members of the Suzaku team were already quite close to the white beam of light wrapped in blood mist.

Up close, it looks very majestic, like a pillar connecting heaven and earth.

The glowing place was a temporary stone altar one meter above the ground. The blood mist above the altar was relatively thin.

There was a circle of people around the edge of the altar. To be precise, it was a circle of beasts in human form.

Wearing large white robes with hoods, they kneel with their legs folded, their hands clasped on their chests, their heads lowered, and their attitude humble.

They mutter words in their mouths, as if they are chanting evil spells, which makes people feel extremely depressed.

Zhuque and others saw clearly that each beast had a dagger inserted in its belly. The blood dyed their white robes red and flowed into the grooves under their feet. They filled the altar with their own blood. groove on.

These grooves form a large totem, which is the abstract evil symbol of the Cang Mother Cult: a vertical eye surrounded by something similar to the sun.

Suzaku felt sick. She didn't know what evil trick this was, and she had no interest in finding out.

"Destroy them!" Suzaku shouted.

Behind Suzaku was a strong man with dreadlocks and dark skin, wearing professional modern combat uniforms, carrying a submachine gun, and various bombs hanging on his body.

Without saying a word, he took three grenades from his waist, pulled out the ring, and threw them towards the altar.

"Pound pound pound—"

The grenades exploded simultaneously, with unprecedented power.

The altar was directly blown up. For a moment, gravel, soil, the flesh and blood of the white-robed beasts and their remaining limbs were flying all over the sky, and the giant white beam of light above the altar suddenly disappeared.

The blood mist vines that were originally tightly wrapped around the beam lost their grip and slowly fell down. More of them dissipated before they could fall.

"Oh!"

The strong man in camouflage uniform is called Red Scorpion. His talent is [Explosives Expert], serial number 78, damage system.

He is proficient in all explosive weapons and explosive traps, and is twice as powerful when using explosive weapons and traps.

Most of the white-robed beasts were killed on the spot. The few white-robed beasts that survived were like walking corpses that had lost their souls. They dragged their broken and blood-stained bodies, stood up again, and walked towards the altar little by little, as if He still has to fight to the death and continue the evil ritual just now.

"brush--"

A strong wind blew by, and a triangular boomerang made of black gold that was as big as a ceiling fan flew over. It rotated at high speed and cut the heads of several beasts in an arc.

Then it spun back again, firmly returning to the hands of a tall woman with long limbs.

This woman has short and medium pink hair, wheat-colored skin, and wears a black sleeveless vest and a pair of combat tights. The muscles on her shoulders, neck, abdomen and buttocks are particularly strong and graceful.

Her name is Aiman, the vice-captain of the colorless group, talent [arm strength], serial number 76, enhancement system.

Aiman's arm strength is amazing, the power of throwing weapons is doubled, and other ability bonuses are available.

Several white-robed beasts with their heads cut open fell silently into the sea of ​​flowers, and their bodies were soon submerged in a half-meter-high blood mist.

"Is this... the end?" Qingcao asked in a very soft voice, somewhat incredulously.

"Hmph!" Red Scorpion clasped his hands and laughed with some disdain, "What are you doing? I thought it was very powerful..."

Chi Xie's words suddenly stopped, and the smile on his face froze, as if someone had tapped his acupuncture points.

For a moment, everyone noticed the abnormality of Red Scorpion.

"Red Scorpion?" Jianghu was about to walk over.

"Don't move." Suzaku grabbed Jianghu with a stern look on his face.

Red Scorpion still froze in place, with a tear of fear and despair flowing from his wide-open eyes.

"Whoa-"

A second later, a bloody sunflower bloomed from Red Scorpion's mouth.
