Chapter 1176: Blood volume reduced by one

It seems that this place was mentioned as a temple for worship, but along the way, Li Chengxi didn't seem to see anything related to God. At least you have to have a statue of God, right?

If doctrine is actually unnecessary for the true God, then the statue of God is not unnecessary. Even the holy emblem must have one.

This is equivalent to God's business card. You have to let believers know who they worship, and you can't change it at will, otherwise you will immediately lose all your current faith foundation.

After all, Li Chengxi is a god, and he is more sensitive to this aspect.

With this doubt, he took the lead to drill through the crack in the wall.

It was surprisingly bright behind the crack. It was still dark when I shone a flashlight at the entrance of the cave, but after entering, it was like entering a bright room, without any dim feeling.

The terrain is like what Charlie said, it is a natural karst cave, but the shape is indeed a bit strange.

Several stalactites extending from the top of the cave may have finally connected with the stalagmites on the ground after a long time, like several shining pillars sticking in front of my eyes, horizontally and vertically.

Looking forward, there is a very large and complex deep pit. On one side, you can see a path for people to pass through. It is indeed spiraling downward, leading to a deeper underground.

The light comes from flames wrapped in rusty metal cages. It is hard to say whether it is a torch, a brazier or some special lamp. It may be a lighting fixture in the Roman era, which looks different from all the lighting fixtures now.

This time, the flame is a real flame, not the orange or blue-white light before. If you get closer, you can even feel a strong heat wave. I just don’t know what this thing is burning. Anyway, I didn’t see any fuel such as oil.

"When our investigation team first came in, there was no light here."

Charlie saw this scene and immediately reminded everyone that something was wrong.

Because it was completely unknown, no one dared to act rashly, and they all turned around to search for threats that might be in the shadow of the flame.

Li Chengxi didn’t move forward immediately. It was not because he was afraid, but because he heard a sound.

"It seems that there is a sound of something crawling over."

Unlike the crawling sound of insects, this sound sounds like sand falling gently on the ground, very slight, but also very special.

As soon as Li Chengxi finished speaking, he heard a cry of surprise from behind.

"In the upper left, it's...!"

Everyone turned their heads to look over, and saw nothing except stones and shadows, but the person who gave the reminder was stiff and gray at a speed visible to the naked eye, and all the sounds were blocked in his lungs, and he turned into a stone statue in the blink of an eye.

His horrified expression froze at the moment when he opened his mouth to give a loud reminder, like the work of an artist with a bad taste, but no matter how outstanding the artist is, it is impossible to do it so vividly.

"It's a petrification attack! Move him out, be careful not to damage it, and everyone else hide quickly!"

Petrification, this is the situation that adventurers least want to encounter.

Other abnormal states can be cracked with potions or folk methods, but petrification is a hit, unless there is a special spell, there is no way.

And wizards and priests who can cast cracking spells are scarce resources among adventurers. If one person is hit, the companions can carry him and run, but if the whole team is hit, there is really no way.

Fortunately, there are not many monsters that can attack with petrification. Considering the style of this building, there is only one possible monster.

A hissing sound, like many snakes spitting out their tongues, appeared above the head at this time. This sound makes people's scalps numb, and people can't help but want to see what it is.

As a result, several people looked up and turned into stone statues.

"It must be Medusa!"

Gan Xiaoyan quickly lowered her head and covered her eyes with her hands.

Li Chengxi no longer knows about mythology. He also knows Medusa and looked up, but he may have looked up too late. He could only see a snake tail crawling through the shadows on the top of the cave.

Any abnormal state is extremely difficult to affect the gods. The divine shield can greatly exempt the probability of abnormal state taking effect. Even if it really takes effect, it can be made invalid by divine resistance, so Li Chengxi is very fearless.

But the others are obviously not like that. They quickly find a shelter nearby and squat down, lowering their heads.

"Come behind me."

Let Gan Xiaoyan go behind him. Gan Xiaoyan was not polite. She hugged Li Chengxi's waist from behind, buried her head on his back, and said:

"Be careful, anyone who looks at Medusa will be petrified."

Yes, people will be petrified, but it doesn't say that gods will be petrified.

To be honest, Li Chengxi was still a little curious about what Medusa looked like. According to mythology, Medusa was very beautiful. Even according to the two-dimensional setting, Medusa was beautiful.

It's just snake hair, barely acceptable.

Just when Li Chengxi thought of this, he heard the hissing sound of many snakes again. Following the sound, he saw a twisted shadow sticking out from behind one of the stalactites.

It was barely recognizable as a woman, and it was also barely recognizable as facial features. It was just the snake's hair twisting on its head, making a strange hissing sound, and when Li Chengxi looked over, they all stared at him with amber eyes.

"Fuck you, this is not the snake-haired beauty I imagined!"

Forget about being a beauty, this thing doesn't even look like a human when you look at its face, especially the shape of its face, which looks more like a snake than a human.

Raising his hand and slapping it, a piercing whistle sounded in the air, covering up Li Chengxi's "Fuck it".

However, Medusa's body was hiding behind a stalactite column, and the slap from a distance did not hit it. The latter immediately shrank back and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Li Chengxi felt very f**king, but Medusa felt even more f**king. Li Chengxi not only looked at it, but even scolded it, but Li Chengxi had no intention of turning into a stone statue.

"Brother Li, have you seen Medusa?"

"I saw it, but it's better not to look at it. It's so ugly!"

"Won't you turn into a stone statue?"

"Just think of me as petrification resistance."

As he was talking, Li Chengxi heard a slight sound of breaking wind, and an arrow almost as long as an arm shot from the shadow.

The divine shield can block all mortal attacks, and Li Chengxi wanted to ignore it.

But for some reason, at that moment Li Chengxi suddenly felt a sense of crisis, as if instinctively reminding him that he couldn't resist the arrow head-on.

Opportunities are fleeting, and Li Chengxi has almost no combat experience, let alone skills. He has not received any training.

Although he felt a sense of crisis, his body's reaction was very slow. When he wanted to dodge, the arrow had already shot over.

He raised his hand to block his face reflexively. He could hear the sound of the arrow breaking and shattering on his arm, but a stinging pain made Li Chengxi frown slightly.

He put down his arm and saw that there was a shallow cut on the back of Li Chengxi's hand, less than three centimeters long, and only a little bleeding.

This is wrong.

Gods should not bleed.
