Chapter 243 · Sacrificial Ceremony in the Ruined Pyramid
Lu Kai concealed his figure and entered the pyramid from the broken place. There are layers of rooms inside the pyramid, and there are various inscriptions on the walls, corridors and ceilings of the rooms.
But the spiritual fillers on these inscriptions have long been lost and have no effect at all.
The engineering complexity of this pyramid is not lower than that of the March City Planning Area or Hope City, and considering the age of the pyramid, the alchemy puppets at that time should not have developed, and it was completely built up by manpower one by one.
How much human and material resources does it take to build a pyramid?
What made Lu Kai even more puzzled was that the induction signal of the nodule was intermittent, as if it had received interference or shielding. Lu Kai continued to explore the inside of the pyramid, and after walking through 4 corridors, he came to a large space, like a dungeon. The cage inside was made of vines, and inside the cage were all kinds of ferocious beasts, including pterosaurs. Beasts, water ghosts, murlocs, multi-legged crocodiles...
Basically, there are animals that can be seen in wetlands. These animals are the best of their species. The water ghosts encountered in the flooded area are all very thin, and the water ghosts locked here are the size of adult males.
There was a fierce light in the water ghost's eyes, grabbing the vines of the cage and biting, but it didn't work. Instead, he bit his teeth.
And the closed murlocs were soaked in the water. Surprisingly, the vine cage was waterproof, and not a drop of water in the cage leaked out of the cage full of gaps! The murlocs with a physique like the big murlocs in the amber of the park shrank together like that.
The Ghostback clan catches these beasts... No, this kind of individual can be regarded as a monster. During the growth and reproduction of animals, powerful individuals will be born. After eating food rich in psionic energy, such individuals will become more powerful, and after reaching a certain level, they will master innate psionic techniques.
The captured monsters don't look like they were kept in captivity. Could it be that these monsters have committed any crime?
Just when Lu Kai was thinking about it, someone came to the dungeon.
The 3 ghostbacks came down with torches and came to the cage where the murlocs were locked. The vine cage was put away under the operation of a ghostback, and then the remaining two took out the ropes with hooks, and that's it With a flick, the hook and lock hooked the pipa bone of a murloc in the cage, and then the hapless murloc was dragged out.
The big fish man inserted his hands into the slate on the ground and wanted to climb back into the cage. However, the two ghostback tribesmen were stronger and dragged them out abruptly, leaving scars on the ground where their hands were scratching the ground. The murloc's hands and fingers were rotten, and the phalanges were exposed.
The screams of the big murloc aroused the blood of the other murlocs in the cage. The murlocs roared and rushed out. However, near the entrance of the cage, vines emerged, trapping the murlocs into dumplings. These vines carried barbs. , the bound murlocs were bloody.
Then the three dragged the big murloc away.
Lu Kai was a little curious about what the three of them were going to take the big fish to do, so he followed.
Following the three of them, they came to a small room, and in the room was a tall and strong ghost-back clansman. The big fish man was sent to the stone platform in the room. The stone platform was densely covered with curved channels about 3 cm wide. These channels are blood-letting channels. The blood of the monsters that were dissected or killed on the platform ran along the channels. The channel flows into a blood bucket next to it.
I saw that this tall and strong ghost bearer took out the special tools for slaughter, and lined up in a row, there were sixteen kinds. First, he used a bone-chopping axe to break open the thoracic bones of the murloc, then took out a hook, opened the sternum, and then took out a small curved hook knife, cut out the lung lobes, and then took out the heart, stomach, and liver ...
These organs are placed on a tray one by one. The most important one is the murloc's liver, which is the psychic organ of the murloc.
The big murloc's eyes widened, his internal organs hollowed out, and then he was thrown onto a trailer and transported away.
The murloc liver and heart and other organs are taken to the next room for processing.
The ghostback technician in this room was an old man with a long white beard and a burqa with intricate patterns.
The table in this room is of pure white marble, so polished it can even be used as a mirror. The old technician used the large intestine, heart, kidney and other water as the substrate to put it into a disc made of gold, and then put the murloc liver on top.
The old technician also took out a flower and put it on it. It looks like a work of art.
After the plate was placed, the artwork was taken away by another tribe. This group of people should be priests and the like, and the clothes they wear are a bit like the robes of mages and priests. Then another portion of the internal organs of some unknown monster was sent, and the old technician cleaned the table and continued to set the plate.
Lu Kai followed the Guibei priest who took away the artwork. This is a long corridor. On both sides of the corridor, there are lights lit with monster grease. The burning smell of the grease makes people feel confused.
At the end of the corridor is a door, where more than one priest is waiting with artworks. There are a total of 8 priests, each holding a plate in his hand.
Then three more priests came with artworks. After 11 people were gathered, the door opened, and 11 priests entered the door one after another.
Lu Kai also followed.
Behind the door is a hall, the top of which is broken, and the night sky can be seen through the hall.
The night sky was deep and dark, and it seemed like it would devour people after watching it for a long time.
There is an altar in the center of the hall. On the altar, a middle-aged man of the Ghostback tribe with seven golden crowns is muttering something.
The clothes of this middle-aged Ghostbei tribe are two ties, and the pattern on the back looks like the word "qi".
Below the altar are the Guibei people who are kneeling down. These people are very young, about 12 or 3 years old. These teenagers and girls have their backs exposed. The lines on their backs are very light and the lines are not very clear.
The kneeling boys and girls pressed their foreheads against the floor, closed their eyes and made a low and neat "Ow" sound. They were probably reciting some prayers, which all temple believers in various places would recite, what praises the sun, the lamb is guided, the supreme God Gift Barbara.
The priests then placed 11 trays of artwork around the altar. After they were placed, a human was pulled out by two priests.
The human beings were bound with five flowers, and the binding method was the shrimp binding method of the murlocs.
The humans shouted, "Aah! Help! I don't want to die! I'm the prince of the XXX kingdom! You can't do this to me!"
Then the prince was inserted into his Adam's apple with a dagger by a middle-aged man with a seven-layered golden crown, and then slashed along the midline of his body, opening his stomach and bleeding all over the floor. Down the blood trough of the altar, absorbed by 11 artworks.
Then the psionic structure of the artwork begins to crumble, and the flesh decays at a rate visible to the naked eye.
The collapsed psionic energy structure returned to the prince's body along the blood, and the prince's body spurted mist, and the mist became more and more dense.
Then the mist turned into substance, opened a space door, and a mysterious wave overflowed from the space door.
The boys and girls who were kneeling under the stage felt the fluctuation, and the lines on the back began to change color and became more obvious.
The road is open to feel it! Behind that space door! It is the induction signal of the nodule! !
