Chapter 277 Mission Completed, Lava Lord's Advent Ceremony

Is that... the Mother of Gargoyles?

Located in the Nova 1 area, the Divine Revelation Temple looks about ten stories high from the outside.

Entering the hall inside the temple, Li Feng discovered that such a tall building did not have floors separated inside.

This gave the temple hall four very tall walls. If people stood on the ground, they would definitely feel oppressed by the extremely high walls and the extremely far roof.

However, these were not the things that Li Feng noticed. What really surprised him was that there was only a very, very tall statue facing the door of the hall.

If the entire Divine Revelation Temple was more than ten stories high, then this statue was eight or nine stories high.

This was a female statue carved out of stone. The statue was not painted, and the whole body was lime-colored.

The woman depicted in the sculpture had very long hair and a delicate face with thin eyebrows and almond eyes.

She was wearing a beautifully embroidered waiter's robe with wings on her back. Her hands were clasped in front of her chest, holding a round-bottomed wide-mouthed cup with the cup mouth tilted down straight ahead.

'That is, the Mother of Gargoyles... and the Cinnabar Cup. '

A few months ago, Haizan and his three thousand troll warriors captured the Mother of Gargoyles in the Sad Theater alive, so Li Feng had seen this creature with his own eyes.

Recalling the Mother of Gargoyles he had seen, it was the same image as in the theater performance.

She had carbon-black hair, snow-white skin, blood-red lips, and behind her was a pair of bat-like wings.

Haizan once said that the Mother of Gargoyles was originally a stone statue of unknown origin.

Long ago, no one knew why, those stone statues carved on buildings or in the rocks of mountains and forests came to life, and they became the Mother of Gargoyles.

Because they were transformed from stone statues, all the Mother of Gargoyles had the same face.

Looking at the female statue in front of him, even if she was just the color of stone, Li Feng could still recognize her face as the mother of gargoyles.

Not to mention the half-opened bat-like wings behind her.

Too many elements matched, and there was no doubt.

No longer caring about the statue of the mother of gargoyles, Li Feng focused all his attention on the round-bottomed wide-mouthed cup in the statue's hand.

Like the mother of gargoyles carved from stone, the cup was also carved from huge stones.

Looking at the cup's simple style, round-bottomed wide-mouthed shape, and the crazy pattern with manic lines.

Li Feng understood that these elements were exactly the same as the cinnabar cup props he got on the first floor of the Sad Theater.

Moving his telekinesis to the vicinity of the stone-carved cinnabar cup, Li Feng saw the manic style and stiff lines on the cinnabar cup again.

On the delivery bed, a woman gave birth to a baby girl, but the process of giving birth to a baby girl was obviously not smooth, because the woman's belly was obviously bitten by a beast.

Therefore, the ending on the screen is that the woman's arms hang weakly on the side of the delivery bed, and she is obviously dead.

The baby girl survived, and she was held by a midwife with thin eyebrows, almond eyes, and bat wings on her back, who was obviously the mother of the gargoyles.

As for the baby girl who lost her mother at birth, she did not cry. In the picture with wild lines, she was grinning with cunning eyes.

In her hand, she was holding a cup with a simple style, a round bottom and a wide mouth, which was obviously a cinnabar cup.

Li Feng had seen this picture on the cinnabar cup prop he got.

But because the cinnabar cup prop was too small and the picture on the cup was rough, Li Feng ignored many details at that time.

For example, the midwife was actually the mother of the gargoyles, and the cinnabar cup held in the baby girl's hand, which was born with her.

In fact, as early as when the Sad Theater was still there, Li Feng always thought that this baby girl would be the mother of the gargoyles.

But later he heard Haizan say that the mother of gargoyles came from a stone statue, so the baby girl in this painting obviously could not be the mother of gargoyles.

And through the lost book of Xia's ancestors, Li Feng now felt that the baby girl served by the mother of gargoyles should be a lava lord.

As for the cinnabar cup, it is probably also a key item related to this lava lord.

'It's really... pretty good...'

After roughly sorting out the relationship, Li Feng said silently in his heart.

In fact, Li Feng couldn't explain his current mood, because he really needed to find more lava lords because of the continued fusion of the godhead.

And what made him feel confident was that he now had an effective way to deal with the lava lords.

But what was really depressing was that the lava lord who might appear this time was involved in many things with another world as soon as there was a clue, and he also made such a big scene. It seemed that he would never be able to rest easy.

After leaving the stone statue, Li Feng planned to look for clues inside the entire temple.

After all, whether it is the Mother of Gargoyles or the Lava Lord, they are all creatures of the Endless Sea.

According to the opposing relationship between the Lava Lord and the God of Creation, they are definitely not players and cannot use the World Ladder to sneak to Nova.

But if they really can't come to Nova and can't influence Nova.

Then why would the players of Nova build a temple for them, and they would not try to save Nova with their abilities two months before the end of the world, when time is most precious.

So, combined with the actual situation, Li Feng finally believed that the Lava Lord should be able to descend to Nova in some way.

The ceremony of his descent should be very complicated, and it is definitely not as simple as the player using the world ladder.

But the players of Nova must have mastered this ceremony, so they built the temple and snatched the cinnabar cup.

So in this temple, there will probably be clues about how the Lava Lord descended.

And Li Feng also had a hunch that his system task "Investigate the truth of the follow-up of the matter" was to investigate the way the Lava Lord descended to Nova.

So, Li Feng controlled his telekinesis and continued to look around. In the hall of the temple, in addition to the statue of the Mother of Gargoyles, there were also some giant stone platforms with large areas.

At the bottom of these stone platforms, many gargoyles with hideous faces were carved.

These gargoyles either kowtowed or flattered. They were all descendants of the Mother of Gargoyles, so they must also serve the Lava Lord with their mother.

However, these stone platforms were too big. Li Feng's telekinesis was at a point on the ground, so he couldn't see the whole of the stone platforms or what was on them.

So, he moved his telekinesis to the top of the temple, and prepared to use the power of the gods to take a bird's eye view of the temple from the top.

As his telekinesis moved up, Li Feng quickly saw that there were four stone platforms in total. They were next to the statue of the Mother of Gargoyles, and together with the statue, they formed a pentagram pattern.

As for the top of the stone platforms, to Li Feng's surprise, there were only a few workers there, who were using tools to carve on the surface of the stone platforms.

Obviously, there must be some patterns on the surface of the stone platforms, but the carving has not been completed yet.

But from the top of the hall, Li Feng looked at the pentagram whose overall position had been determined.

'Pentagram... five? '

Suddenly, Li Feng remembered the news he had just seen on the dome. At that time, the female host said that there was a temple in each area from District 1 to District 5.

‘Could it be… they want five lava lords to come together.’

Five, that’s really a lot.

Li Feng, who was actually in the hiding place, realized this and was shocked for a moment.

There are eleven lava lords in the Endless Sea, and there are ten more besides the cocoon that he had just sealed.

So from the perspective of quantity alone, the conditions are still met.

And considering the purpose of the new star player, to correct the sun and save a world from destruction, it seems that it may not be possible to rely on the ability of only one lava lord.

But.

Li Feng felt indescribable in his heart. It is definitely a good thing to try to save his own world, but if he has to rely on the filthy and ominous lava lord...

‘It’s more or less a poison to quench thirst.’

Five lava lords together may have the ability to correct the sun and save the world.

But Li Feng certainly didn’t believe that the five lava lords came to do charity alone. They would definitely ask for something from the new star.

But at the moment, Li Feng didn’t care about this for the time being. He had a mission and needed to continue looking for clues about how the lava lord came.

Li Feng carefully looked at every wall, every window, and every stone platform in the temple.

But probably because the temple had not been completed, it was quite chaotic everywhere, and Li Feng could not find any clues for a while.

But at this time, there was a noise from the ground.

Many workers who built the temple brought in a huge flat stone slab from outside the temple with the help of machines, which seemed to be used for laying on the ground.

Seeing this, Li Feng immediately focused his mind.

At this moment, with the help of modern machines, the workers quickly transported the stone slab to the center of the hall and laid it on the ground.

And Li Feng, who was looking down from above, found that the location of the stone slab was right in the center of the pentagram.

But what surprised Li Feng was that this stone slab placed in a special position had words on it, and it was the words of the Endless Sea.

As the stone slab was laid, the workers wiped the stone slab and dealt with the details.

After everything was respectful and careful, the workers controlled the machines to leave one after another.

At the same time, Li Feng let his mind power sink and focused on the words on the stone tablet.

"Don't meditate, don't be quiet, give the sweet blood and clear soul to the Holy Grail, in your blood sacrifice, I will allow you to participate in my grand feast."

After reading this very ominous text written in the language of the Endless Sea, Li Feng frowned deeply.

He kept his eyes on the words "sweet blood and clear soul", and inevitably, Li Feng thought of the maids wearing bright red maternity dresses.

So, the maids and the fetuses in their stomachs are actually sacrifices.

'So that's it. '

Although it felt strange, after discovering the truth, Li Feng still felt that the behavior of the Nova authorities was outrageous.

His eyes continued to move back, and Li Feng stared at the two words "blood sacrifice".

Because of these two words, many things before came to mind.

A few months ago, in the cycle of returning to the player world, the player world experienced an event called blood sacrifice.

Li Feng didn't know much at the time, but he learned more or less afterwards.

The ultimate goal of the player 0776 who caused the blood sacrifice event was to make a certain existence in the Sad Theater descend into the player world.

Based on Li Feng's understanding of the Sad Theater, 0776 should have wanted the Mother of Gargoyles to descend.

The objects of descent are different, so the corresponding preparations are also different, which is understandable.

But one thing is that "blood sacrifice" should be the way for the filthy creatures of the Endless Sea to descend to other worlds.

As for the Cinnabar Cup, this thing that was born with the Lava Lord and is closely related to her should be the important medium for summoning her to descend during the blood sacrifice.

Combining what he saw and heard, Li Feng finally connected everything.

At the same time, the system prompt flashed in front of his eyes:

[Your task progress increased by 50%]

[Current task progress 100%]

[You completed the task: Investigate the lost items in the Glorious Vault (follow-up)]

[You got the task reward: 'You' memory]

As the system prompts, a small square box representing memory is put into Li Feng's backpack.

Obviously, when the box is opened, Li Feng will get the memory of Li Feng in the Endless Sea.

At this time, the sun in Nova Zone 1 has completely set.

But inside and outside the temple under construction, dozens of huge lights still illuminated the place as bright as day, realizing the real day and night for the busy workers.

He had already obtained another "Li Feng" memory box, but Li Feng did not intend to open it here. Everything would be discussed back in the Endless Sea.

But when Li Feng was about to leave, he noticed two slow footsteps in the hall of the temple that were obviously different from the busy workers.

Focusing his attention, Li Feng immediately "saw" that it was two middle-aged men who walked to the center of the pentagram and stood in front of the stone slab with words engraved on it.

"Brother Zhuyuan, Li has already got the cinnabar cup. After all, it is your daughter. Success is immediate."

One of the middle-aged men said in a happy tone.

Hearing that their conversation involved the cinnabar cup, Li Feng paused the idea of ​​leaving and focused his attention on these two people.

From the clothes, the two uniform black clothes were obviously different from the gray work clothes of the workers.

Moreover, there was no dust on the clothes of these two people, no sweat on their faces, and their hands were clean. Obviously, they were not workers.

Li Feng judged that they should be managers of the Nova authorities.

The conversation continued.

"Li has already told me, but we have five lava lords, and the key medium has not been found, and..."

The middle-aged man called Zhu Yuan frowned:

"Our second-level player learned something from the trading field. The disaster in Nova was man-made."

"What...what?! Who has this ability?"

Hearing this news, the other middle-aged man was stunned for a while, and immediately asked in shock after reacting.

Not only him, but Li Feng, who was listening to the conversation in secret, was also stunned for a moment.

First of all, he was not wrong. They really wanted to let the five lava lords come.

Secondly.

'The disaster in Nova was actually man-made? '

Recalling the extremely hot sun, Li Feng realized that if the disaster was really man-made, then this person would have the ability to control the sun.

While Li Feng was thinking quickly, the middle-aged man named Zhu Yuan nodded to his companion and replied:

"The famous Harvest Alliance controller Tan Lang."

"Tan... Lang, it was him? How could it be..."

Hearing the answer, the middle-aged man who was just shocked suddenly realized as if he was reminded.

The expression on his face changed, and he had instantly changed from surprise to extreme anxiety, as if the pressure that Tan Lang could bring to him was far greater than the sun that was about to destroy the world.

From Li Feng's perspective, this person obviously had no doubt that the man named Tan Lang had the ability to control the sun and destroy the world.

"But why? What hatred do we have between our new star and Mr. Tan Lang, why does he treat us like this?"

The middle-aged man reacted for a while and asked anxiously.

And Zhu Yuan, who was asked, just shook his head silently. He obviously didn't know, but facing the panic of his companions, he said:

"Li has gone to the top of Uranus Mountain to visit Mr. Tan Lang."
