Chapter 154 It is common sense that there are cultists near the altar
When Pat received the news, he did not dare to delay:
"Brandon succeeded. Believe in the Lord's guidance and step into the gray fog!"
"He's in there! And he needs our help!"
After saying that, Peter decisively took the lead and walked into the gray fog!
Brandon's message couldn't be more obvious.
There are enemies in the misty valley! Need their help!
…
When Peter stepped into the gray fog, he also felt like he was swept by something.
As a level 3 mage, his perception is more sensitive than Brandon's.
This feeling felt strangely familiar to him.
Recall for a moment.
"It seems very similar to when I walked through [Past Glory]?"
"It seems different?"
Pat wasn't so sure.
When he passed through the glory of the past, he also had the experience of being swept by something, but it was completely fleeting.
This time it was almost the same, but it was slightly more noticeable physically.
Before Peter could continue to think, he was caught off guard and walked out of the gray fog.
The scene in the valley suddenly appeared in front of him.
"...The god of knowledge is above!"
Peter subconsciously sighed almost exactly the same as Brandon.
A peculiar crystal building with a height of dozens of meters stands in the center of the valley. It is obviously wrapped in thick gray fog and cannot let in the outside sunlight. However, the bright and soft light emitted by the building itself becomes the center of the valley. The largest light source makes the environment even appear a bit bright.
The building is integrated in appearance, as if it were carved from a complete piece of naturally born crystal.
On the exterior surface of the building, neatly arranged lines have loops of different colors that light up and go out from time to time, one after another, constantly alternating, adding a unique sense of beauty.
It was different from the gloomy and depressing atmosphere of the dark forest outside.
The environment in the valley, if this miraculous building were removed;
Other places can only be described as desolate and dilapidated.
The flat land is directly exposed to mottled loess, and there are not even sparse low shrubs or tenacious weeds.
The cracked loess seemed to have not been moistened by rain for a long time. The soil was hardened and cracked. The devastated scene formed an extremely sharp contrast with the magnificent crystal building in the center.
There is a tall entrance that is currently closed at the bottom of the crystal building.
Brandon and a guy in black robes were fighting not far from the entrance.
To be more precise, Brandon was being beaten unilaterally.
Pat was shocked.
"There are actually people in the misty valley...?"
They came here under the guidance of the main mission. Peter believed that the God of Knowledge would not lead them here to die, so they dared to step into it.
For what purpose did this guy dare to walk into the gray fog?
The black-robed figure in front of him, Peter was 10,000% sure that he was an enemy.
Because the message in the opponent's status bar on [The Secret of All Things] directly exposed his background:
"Twilight infusion (evil transformation)!"
After the members of the Bloodfang Gang who were contaminated by the evil god, this was the second evil state that Pate saw.
No need to think about it.
Even if you don’t know his specific identity, you can at least be sure of one thing:
This guy believes in evil gods!
That's enough.
Pet even felt a little outrageous:
"As long as there is an altar, will there always be cultists nearby?"
"Isn't this a regular pattern?"
When he was coaxed by the group of black-robed men in Greenport, there was an earthen altar in the secret cave he was taken to. Those people were all cultists who wanted to make big news;
When Bloody Roulette found the secret room, there was also a terrifying altar inside, and two cultists who had committed suicide were also next to the altar;
This time in the misty valley, they were looking for the altar of creation where the Lord had given guidance, but it turned out that there were also cultists in the valley!
Three times!
Are the cultists who believe in evil gods bound to the altar and refreshed? Or what? There are them next to every altar!
…
Pat observed the battle for a moment.
There is a reason why Brandon was beaten up by this guy who believed in evil gods and fled in panic.
The black-robed figure's attack method was extremely strange.
He is not like the members of the Bloodfang Gang who were once contaminated by the power of the evil god, who mainly rely on brute force and corrosion of pus, nor is he like Dursley, whose body limbs turned into tentacles after the final mutation. These are still physical things that can be avoided. Attack mode.
The figure in black robe just stood there, eight huge bloodshot eyeballs appeared around him out of thin air, and then, as the eyeballs stared, almost invisible black energy shot towards him in a curved and weird trajectory. Brandon.
After hitting the target, an insubstantial black chain-like connection will be connected between Brandon and the eyeball.
Brandon will also have an additional negative status:
"The pain increases!"
When Pett and the others passed through the gray fog, Brandon already had 8 layers of negative states on his body.
The connection itself does no harm.
But when the figure in black robe used another attack method - hitting Brandon with something invisible from the air, Brandon would scream violently once he couldn't dodge.
"Ouch!!!"
Although there were no obvious wounds on his body, Brandon's legs softened from the pain and he almost fell down.
As Brandon was being whipped in the air, the black-robed figure was still smiling arrogantly:
"I can't open the door to the holy land, it must be because I failed to satisfy the Lord!"
"Become a sacrifice! Please the Lord with your pain!"
Noticing Pete's arrival, Brandon hurriedly reminded:
"Don't be hit by the eyeball gaze, this thing... ah!!! It will make you feel more pain when you are beaten!!!"
The black-robed figure also found Pete, and was overjoyed and laughed wildly:
"Good! Good!"
"I didn't expect that another sacrifice could pass the Lord's test!"
"If I can offer two sacrifices to the Lord, He will definitely allow me to enter the holy land!"
Four of the eight eyeballs around the black-robed man immediately moved away from Brandon and turned to stare at Pete.
Pet tried to dodge, but failed.
These black energies have a locking effect, and even if you dodge, you will be caught up and cursed with "increased pain".
[The pain you feel has been increased by 400%]
The oracle reminder came.
The pain was increased 4 times out of thin air, and any attack would definitely cause great pain.
Pete understood it instantly.
The opponent was not just physically hurt, but mentally tortured!
Torture the enemy with increasing pain!
Until the enemy's mental breakdown or fainting from the pain!
"That's it?" Pete raised his eyebrows.
He had found the weakness of the man in black robe!
In a fair 1-on-1 duel, cursing the opponent so that he would suffer up to 8 times the pain when attacked is indeed a terrible trick.
But, when did the people of the Seeking Knowledge Sect ever play a duel with their opponents?
With the continuous surge of gray fog.
One, two, three...
The sect members following Pete all passed through the gray fog and entered the valley!
The man in black robe couldn't laugh anymore.
...
There will be another update later, and I'm working hard to write it!
