Chapter 618 The Temple of the Beasts and the Priest

"The largest dragon?"

Her words caused those who heard them to look at each other in surprise, and then everyone showed excited expressions, like bloodthirsty spectators hearing the start of the Kengan match!

"What kind of what kind of what?"

"Boss Lulu! I know you love Lulu videos the most, please let us see them!"

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime request!"

"Oh dear, what should I do?"

Lulu pretended to be helpless, covered her forehead, and shook her head, saying, "This is supposed to be the grand finale of the next strategy guide, if I just tell you this..."

"Boss Luluwo!" the adventurers shouted as if begging for divine mercy.

"Sigh, I really can't do anything with you guys. Don't let this happen again."

Her vanity was slightly satisfied, and amidst the smiles of her companions, she rummaged through her backpack, finally finding an ordinary-looking photo stone.

"This is it!" People couldn't help but hold their breath when they saw this photo stone. This was the photo stone containing the image of that enormous dragon!
Their current mental state is just like that of movie fans who are about to see the latest film released.

Luluwo snapped her fingers, and the surrounding waiters immediately and discreetly drew the curtains, plunging the entire Adventurers' Guild into darkness, creating the perfect environment for the video projection.

"let's start."

She activated the recording stone, and a clear image immediately appeared before everyone.

The moment the image appeared, the beast's heavy breathing began.

The rising image brought back memories of when they first encountered the portal.

"My God, where have we been teleported to?"

In the video, she stared wide-eyed, looking around.

They were now clearly in a very large palace, permeated with the weight of time. The walls, adorned with reliefs of wild beasts, were slightly faded. Torches, serving as sources of light, burned in the corners, the proportions of light and darkness perfectly balanced.
Located at the deepest part of the palace, there was a strange figure covered in tattered cloth.

It was a body that was clearly not human—huge, hunched, and wild.

At the same time, a line of text appeared in front of the Skyrim strategy team:

【Temple of the Beasts】

In the eyes of the people of this world, anything that is even remotely related to "gods" is considered high-class and prestigious.

"H-hello?"

In the video, Luluwo and her companions cautiously approached the alien figure.

Off-screen, Luluwo directly stated:
"This big guy calls himself the Beast Priest Gulang, and he's obviously not human. I secretly took a look, and the appearance under his rags is almost identical to that of an orc. It's quite scary."

She immediately fast-forwarded, which alarmed the adventurer who was engrossed in the story. He hurriedly tried to stop her, saying, "No, no, this is also the essence!"

"Didn't you want to see a dragon? This video is a summary of my entire day's adventure. It would take you a long time to see it all. Besides,"

She pointed at the Beast Priest and said, "He seems to be quite confused and can't communicate normally at all."

Just as she finished speaking, a muffled growl came from the Beast Priest's side, followed by incoherent words and him reaching out to ask people for something.

It took people a long time to barely understand what the other person meant.

The Beast Priest demands that people offer him "death" so that he can swallow it, and in the video, Luluvo pulls out something called "Death Root".

"Deadroot appeared after the Crypt Ship died. We took care of him while we were looking for the portal."

The beast priest wolfed down the Dead Root, then handed something to Luluvo and made a request to "seek more death."

Looking down, the two items were the [Claw Mark Holy Mark] and the [Beast Eye].

【Beast Eyes】

The stone eye with claw marks was given to it by the "Beast Priest" Granger.

[It is said that when you get close to the Dead Root, it will tremble, and its deep purple pupils will writhe, as if it has a life of their own.]

[I'm hungry...offer me more death, let me devour it...]

【Claw Mark Holy Seal】

The holy mark bestowed by the "Beast Priest" Granger is a rare item that can amplify the power of prayers with one's own strength.

The claw marks on the holy seal represent Quran's wrath and can strengthen the Beast Prayer he teaches.

Got it, all the adventurers understood by now.

This beast priest—no, this afterimage—is the kind of person who instructs adventurers to collect specific items and rewards them!

This is all too common in all dungeons.

Upon seeing the Claw Mark, everyone guessed that collecting more Deadroot might allow them to learn the so-called Beast Prayer from him. However, until they witnessed the power of the Beast Prayer firsthand, no one felt any excitement; adventurers refuse to accept empty promises.

"Then I'll skip this part?"

"Jump, jump!"

Since the Beast Priest was incoherent and didn't reveal any profound information, people no longer minded Luluvo skipping this part.

However, they were completely unaware that Luluvo was skipping this part.

There was even a subtle smile on his lips.

That smile was devoid of any goodwill; it was purely a smile meant to swindle people!
Because the following footage shows them leaving the Beast Temple and heading outside, and what they saw after pushing open the temple's doors...
Hehe, she really didn't want to spoil anything; it's better for others to experience it for themselves!
As Luluwo skipped through the images, she recalled her memories from that time.

Let's go back to that time, when they had just struggled to push open the tall, thick door.

Then they saw a gargoyle, taller than the gate, standing outside.

Or should it be called the "Black Sword Familiar"?

However, Luluwo and the others did not recognize any Black Sword Familiars; they simply assumed the monster in front of them resembled a Hero Gargoyle.

However, this Black Sword's companion exuded a powerful aura simply by standing with its sword in hand, giving off a sense of oppression far exceeding that of ordinary gargoyles, and even surpassing that of Grik.

"Since he's standing outside the door, it means he's guarding the gate for the Temple of the Beasts, right? Then we should be able to get through without any problems?"

With that in mind, the Skyward Strategy Team walked past the Black Sword Familiar without being overly cautious, but not so brazenly either.

Five seconds later.

"Boom boom boom!"

All that could be heard were the sounds of huge objects crashing into the ground and exploding everywhere. The Sky Strategist team members were all galloping on their horses, their faces showing the urgency of people with diarrhea fighting for the only toilet.

The only reason they did this was because the Black Sword Familia was hot on their heels!

"Weren't we here to help the Beast Priest? Why is this gatekeeper chasing us and attacking us?!"

As soon as the Black Sword's retinue swung its weapon, a vacuum blade exploded behind them.

"Tami's been killed! Damn it!"

The Black Sword's retinue didn't seem to intend to let them off easily, relentlessly pursuing them.

Luluwo and the others had already tried to launch a counterattack, and their conclusion was that they felt they couldn't really fight back. The opponent was too tough, and could take a life with a casual wave of their hand. Running away was the best option.

However, as they ran, they suddenly realized a new problem:
"Where are we? Which way should we run?"

They had initially planned to use the towering stone pillars along the roadside as a backdrop for a game of "Qin King Walking Around the Pillars" with the Black Sword's retinue. However, as soon as they ran over, several humanoid monsters, smaller than dwarves, called "Evil Soldiers," sprang out from the shadows of the stone pillars.

Don't be fooled by their small size when you ask them for permission, because the other party can unleash a beastly attack like [Beast Claw] with a mere flick of their wrist, instantly killing a member of the Skyward Conquest Team.

Such vicious soldiers are everywhere on this unknown land!
Left with no other choice, they had to flee as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, after this incident, the monsters chasing them had increased their numbers from the single Black Sword's retinue to a large number of monstrous soldiers.
These are all lousy monsters with high stats and powerful moves.

They finally discovered a bridge that seemed to offer a way out of this land filled with dung monsters. Just as they were about to cross it and blow it up to escape their pursuers, a creature resembling the dragon Agil suddenly appeared: the dragon Guirel.

These two dragons look almost identical, like twins, but the latter is far stronger than the former!

Luluwo's ​​attack, which could shatter Agil's scales, only made Guirel tremble slightly when it hit him, and the scales looked slightly damaged!
Now, after crossing the bridge, another dragon has joined the ranks of the pursuers.

The Skyward Conquest team has only survived this long thanks to the amazing Toret. If it weren't for this lovable ox-horse, they would have all perished when they encountered the Black Sword's familiars.

But subsequent experiences made people realize that dying at that moment might have been the best outcome.

Because after crossing the bridge, the words "Dragon Tomb" came into view.

Lulu and the others.
Here we encountered countless flying dragons.

How could I possibly spoil this precious first experience for everyone? People have to experience it for themselves!

This is her true feeling right now.

Inside the Adventurers' Guild, she deftly skipped the scene of herself being chased by monsters, instantly fast-forwarding to the very end of the video.

The images there were exactly the dragons that the adventurers had requested to see.

"Open your eyes wide and look carefully, this is the dragon you've been clamoring to see."

The video froze for a moment, and then a white rock that filled the entire screen appeared before everyone's eyes; anyone who didn't know better would have thought it was an entire mountain peak.

Wait a minute, why do the patterns on this rock look a bit strange, like scales?
Before anyone could ask any questions, the rocks trembled, followed by a startling sound that echoed from the screen.

"Ow—"

That was an unprecedented, sky-shaking roar of a giant dragon.
