Chapter 689 I Am the Flame 2

But it must be said that Lance's "fair words" dispelled Amanda's pursuit, giving Audrey a chance to breathe from Amanda's sarcastic accusations.

The funny thing is that Amanda, the guy who disgusted her even more, attracted most of the hatred. It was Lance who controlled and threatened her, but now she thinks the lord is a good person.

Her understanding is that those who stand on her side are good people. When Amanda attacked him, the lord stopped her, which was to speak for her. There is nothing wrong with this logic!

The real reason for this mentality is that she needs the lord's "protection" to survive Amanda's constant "attacks", so the lord cannot be a bad person.

The inexplicable relationship was defined by Audrey herself, but Lance never cared about these.

His eyes were only on the front.

The team walked down the passage, but not far away, they found a very strange scene. Now everyone didn't care about anything else and became alert.

They were followers who still had a human form, but their flesh and blood had been severely mutated. They were only left with some tattered clothes, and large areas of their bodies were exposed.

The flesh was in a common appearance under high mutation, as if the skin was peeled off, and the muscles were dissolved and ulcerated. Even the exposed bones could be seen, and thick blood vessels were like ropes randomly wrapped around the body.

Even more peculiar was that they could see huge tumors attached to their bodies. They were strange things twisted into flesh, blood vessels and black eyeballs, and they seemed to have become part of the body after being fused with flesh and blood.

These crazy guys had no hair on their heads, and their faces were empty eyes and weird laughter.

At this time, they were kneeling on the ground, with their hands clasped together and raised high, facing the depths of the dungeon like pilgrims.

Ecstatic followers!

Not all cultists can become cult priests. These guys who are pious enough but have not yet fully mastered the power of great blessings wandered in the dungeon, making tireless pilgrimages day after day.

And the weird thing is that the arrival of the team did not alarm them?

No, it should be said that they didn't care about Lance and his men at all.

They didn't mean to stand up and attack, but continued to worship, as if there was only one thing in the world worth doing.

These ecstatic followers seemed to be more than ten people, and they had already blocked the passage. Lance would not be polite to them.

"Kill them!"

Lance rushed up first and swung his knife directly on a ecstatic follower. He beheaded him without any accident, and then sacrificed him without giving him any chance to get rid of him.

Obliterate!

In order to make up for her previous retreat, Audrey followed Lance and launched an attack.

I can only say that although she is a woman, she is really ruthless. She swung the pickaxe and smashed it on the head of the ecstatic follower. The tip went directly into the top of the head and knocked off a piece of skull.

I didn't know how hard she was using it. I thought she was knocking Amanda.

These movements finally alarmed these ecstatic followers, but the weird thing was that they really had no intention of fighting back. Instead, they stood up and raised their hands high and laughed weirdly and creepily at Lance and his men.

This weird scene made Audrey subconsciously want to stay away. She stepped back a few steps and shouted, "Damn it! What is this?"

What was even more outrageous was that some of the believers actually bit their arms, and the whole piece of flesh fell into their mouths, and blood oozed from the corners of their mouths. It was really hard to describe the crazy laughter.

Blood and flesh complement each other!

The strange power seemed to disturb the blood mist, and then Audrey found that the believer who had just been hit on the head by her was not dead.

The wound on the head that was hit by the iron pick was quickly filled with flesh and blood, and then stood up shakily, twisting his body like seaweed like other believers and shaking his body to make a creepy laugh.

But this scene did not scare away the real warriors, Boudica and Amanda also came up.

And the raised hands of those ecstatic believers suddenly clasped together, and a strange force connected them together.

The wall of flesh and blood!

Swinging axes and spears to chop at the followers can cause exaggerated wounds, and sharp whips can tear and bleed.

However, these wounds do not appear on the target, but are transferred to the objects of the guarding ceremony.

Although these guys in front will not fight back, they will feed their companions by biting their own flesh and blood.

The flesh and blood wounds seem to be non-existent in their eyes and recover in an instant. They still stand on the road to block the enemy, just like an insurmountable flesh and blood barrier guarding their gods.

"Focus on attacking one, use corpse spores, the tumors on their bodies are weaknesses."

But unfortunately, their enemy is Lance, who has roughly understood the weaknesses of these ecstatic followers in a simple fight just now.

He split the tumors one by one with a knife, and sacrificed them with his backhand. It is useless to kill them directly even if they are guarding.

The battle is about information gap. As long as you understand the enemy, you can have countless ways to win.

After hearing Lance's words, Amanda threw a flying knife and stabbed it accurately into the bloody tumor with black eyeballs. The power burst weakened their tough bodies.

And Boudica knew what to do without any instructions. She smeared spores on the axe gun, and then attacked the target marked by the flying knife. The axe blade stained with corpse spores cut without giving any chance to recover.

When the violent output killed one person, facing the laughing cult members who would not resist, one represented all.

Audrey, who retreated to the back, seemed to realize that these weird-looking guys would not fight back. When she thought of Amanda mocking her later, she quickly stepped forward and waved her pickaxe to join the battle again.

The battle soon subsided, but there was not much joy on everyone's face. Instead, they revealed doubts and fatigue.

Because this was an extremely weird battle, a very easy but difficult victory.

The ease was naturally that these ecstatic followers would only protect their teammates and recover blood, and would not fight back at all, just like targets.

And the difficulty was because these guys had a strong protective power and strong recovery ability, and usually needed to burst out enough damage in a short time to kill one.

Boudica couldn't stand this high-intensity battle and was panting. Even Amanda didn't complain about Audrey, she was simply too tired to say anything.

Lance quickly sacrificed the corpses, and blessed his teammates to refresh their status, and comforted and encouraged them with words.

"Even if it's just a trivial victory, it's still a victory. No enemy can stop us."

The team's status recovered quickly, and Audrey seemed to feel the power in the words. Her fatigue was swept away, and her strength and full spirit returned again.

This repetition of extreme state made her feel a strange satisfaction, a kind of fullness.

Lance didn't care too much about Audrey's feelings. He was thinking about the reactions of the ecstatic believers just now.

If the cultists outside the dungeon may still have some thoughts, they know that they are for ascension and have certain self-purposes.

Then these cultists in the dungeon have been completely transformed. They can't even be called human beings. They are just humanoid flesh and blood monsters, not to mention self-awareness.

The will that drives their actions is to protect this place and their gods.

Although Lance doesn't understand why "God" needs these believers to protect him?

How can there be such a weak god?

"Let's go. I can't wait."

It is irrational to want to understand those abstractions. It is even a kind of pollution. Once you start to fall into it, something will happen.

So Lance simply ended his thinking and called the team that had been adjusted for a short time to set off again along the road that was no longer blocked.

No cultists came out to block the way along the way, so it can be imagined that their number is much less than the cultists that are like cockroaches everywhere above.

These are all the elites of the ancestors, but I am fighting the elites!

At the end of the passage, you can see a stone arc, on which are inserted seven long swords that look like only blades but no hilts. The tips are narrow and sharp, and the ends are hollow diamonds. They are inserted into the arc in a unique pattern to form a familiar pattern.

There is only one way, and there is no doubt that this is the portal to go deeper, but the drill inserted into it is blocked.

Lance also found that the metal drill is dark gold. This thing is almost exclusive to that ancient civilization. It seems that this place is inseparable from those people.

They will naturally not be blocked by such a strange portal. While Amanda was still carefully studying it, Lance reached out without hesitation.

Even before touching the chisel on the arc, it seemed as if it felt something and actually jumped out to make way.

This sudden movement scared the others, but Lance had seen the induction door before, so it was not something fancy.

He led the way through the strange portal and entered a platform. The ground was a rock that was broken into irregular shapes, and blood flowed in the gaps.

There were no protruding spike fences on both sides. Two tall human-shaped statues could be seen outside the platform, but the weird thing was that they were all naked, posing in a posture that ordinary people could not understand, as if they were in an extremely painful struggle.

What was covered on the lower body of the statue? It was like a big hand, and it seemed like twisted flesh and blood...

Considering that the statue fell on the bloody place, it looked as if something wanted to drag them into the sea of ​​blood.

It was unknown what was on it, and blood was flowing like a small waterfall. Some splashes fell on the statue, adding a bit of vividness.

However, before Lance and the others could carefully observe the environment of the platform, their entry alarmed the cultists here.

Two of the ascended priests were familiar, with naked upper bodies showing strong muscles, disc armor on the waist, and the skirts on the lower body were more exquisite than those above.

The skull helmet and claws were still standard equipment, but the difference was that they were not made of black iron, but dark gold.

The dark gold equipment, that unique metal, it seems that the ancestor really got a part of the heritage of the ancient civilization.

The last one was a ecstatic cultist who had just met. The ecstatic face and the constantly swaying posture were really familiar.

Two ascended priests, one ecstatic cultist.

The battle broke out directly without Lance even opening his mouth, and the cultist rushed forward and waved his arms.

New God Sacrifice Thorn!

Lance swung his knife to kill, but suddenly saw the ascended priest's body revealing a crazy scene under the skin at the moment of action.

The flesh and blood mutation had covered most of his body, the tumor on his shoulder was clinging to his body, and a tangled group of tentacles extended and attached to his arms.

Along with the claws, there are also tentacles covered with spikes. The almost synchronized movements seem to control the body more like the tumor.

It makes people wonder whether the tumor is the brain? Or is it the head under the helmet?

Thinking that the cult priest didn't have a clear head just now, he realized that when the transformation was completed, this might be the origin of the cult priest.

But it was not Lance's turn to think too much. The fangs had collided with the claws, but what about the tentacles?

It was thrown directly from the arm towards Lance, and the rows of spikes on it were like razors, hungry for flesh and blood.

"boom!"

Lance directly took out the gun with his left hand, put it into the tumor on the Ascended Priest's shoulder and fired. After one shot, the thing was torn open, the black eyeball on it exploded, and the tentacles extending from it twitched and lost their strength. , hanging down.

After the cult priest made a move, he was on guard against these guys' "accessories". How could he be easily attacked?

"Watch out for that tentacle!"

Lance reminded him, and was about to kill the priest directly, but who knew the movement of the ecstasy cultist behind him, opening his mouth and biting the flesh and blood on his hand frantically.

Flesh and blood!

That magical power fed back, causing the tumor that Lance shot through one second to grow back the next.

屮! Those things turned out to be human shields and blood packs.

Lance realized the position of the Ecstasy Cult here, and raised his hand to mark it.

"Kill it!"

Amanda threw the flying knife to break the ritual power connected to the cultist, and Audrey also knew who was easy to bully here, so she also threw a poison dart and hit the cultivator's tumor. The toxin burst out and began to corrode the flesh and blood. This further plunged the congregation into a downturn.

At this time, Audrey picked up the pickaxe and came up. She twisted around and swung the pickaxe as if she were playing golf. From bottom to top, the sharp point directly penetrated the tumor on the waist of the congregant, and even came out through the back.

Amanda followed suit, took out a bottle of potion and opened it. The strange power invaded the members of the congregation under her control.

Even the flesh and blood blessed by the new god could not withstand it. The symptoms of poisoning and bleeding suddenly broke out, and the whole thing had festered and turned into pus and bones, completely wiping out the vitality.

Erase!

Amanda and Audrey were forced to join forces, but they also made a very cool move.

Both parties paused and couldn't help but look at each other, but the moment their eyes made contact, they looked away unhappily.

"Hmph~"

Too lazy to remember the chapter name...
