Chapter 137 Great Change and Faith Lurking in the Lava (Please Subscribe)

Inside a wooden house in an uninhabited village.

Ryan sat by the campfire and looked at the small blue conch in his hand.

This is the communication tool that the other party gave him after he talked with the Phantom Beast Witch Meloye in the past - the sound transmission conch.

It's just that Ryan has never used this thing.

At the moment, he had some doubts and needed to talk to the Phantom Beast Demon Meloye, and then he remembered this thing.

Ryan tapped the bottom of the sound-transmitting conch three times. As he moved, the small blue conch began to fill with light.

"Ms. Meloyer, are you there?"

Ryan said softly.

However, after waiting for nearly half a minute, there was still no sound coming from the other side, which made Ryan frown.

"Not here? Or are you saying something unexpected happened?"

During this period, dragons and snakes were mixed in Santos City, and many professionals appeared. Under such circumstances, although the witch association's concealment methods were powerful, they could not ensure absolute safety.

In addition, Ryan's mind was basically on the "Overthrown Palace" and he didn't pay much attention to the Phantom Beast Witch Meloye because he couldn't judge the other party's situation.

After waiting for a few more minutes, there was still no sound coming from the other side. Ryan shook his head and put down the "Sound Transmitting Conch".

"If you have time tomorrow, let's go to the hut where we entered the 'Witch Branch' before."

Ryan thought in his heart.

The Phantom Beast Witch Meloye had given him a lot of information help at the beginning, but if there was a chance, he would not introduce an appropriate helping hand.

Half an hour later.

Ryan's eyes in the room moved slightly and he looked at the door of the wooden house.

I saw blue drops falling from the ceiling, condensing into the girl's slender body.

The first thing that formed was the fluffy witch hat. The slightly swaying tip of the hat made people have the urge to pinch it hard.

After the hat, there is a slender figure.

Freni looked at Ryan sitting by the campfire, with a slight smile on her face.

Behind Freni, a translucent body appeared, with the moonlight escaping around the edge. It was Cecilia.

This method of using the moonlight to blend into the night was slowly mastered by Miss Wolf Girl after she gradually digested the Moon Wolf inheritance.

After looking at Ryan seriously and carefully several times, and after confirming that he was not injured, Freni breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Lane, it's great that you're okay."

Ryan glanced at the two women and saw that they showed no signs of embarrassment. He roughly understood that the battle in the underground maze was not very intense for the two of them.

Most of the monsters that inhabit the first few floors of the underground maze are only second-level. With the strength of Freni and Cecilia, it is very easy to deal with them.

"Aren't you going back?" Cecilia said in a cold voice.

When she said go back, she meant going back to the cave on the beach.

Ryan looked at Miss Wolf Girl speechlessly - the conditions in the beach cave were so difficult, who would want to live there if it was not necessary.

"No, this is an uninhabited village. It's not a big problem to use it as a temporary base."

Hearing Ryan's words, Cecilia nodded slightly and said no more.

Nowadays, most of the people on the outlying islands are gathered in the city of Santos. There is not much difference in the outer areas, beaches or villages.

"Mr. Lane, what do you mean by the 'weird sense of uneasiness' you mentioned in the subpoena?" Sitting down on the ground next to Lane near the bonfire, Freni hugged her knees and asked with a serious expression.

"call……"

Ryan let out a breath and roughly narrated the experiences before and after this special mission. Finally, he took out a small box and opened it, revealing the soft black mud inside:

"These are some black mud samples I collected after the death of the Hanged Man. Captain, see if you can recall anything."

Freni took the wooden box and frowned slightly: "The altar made of piled bones, the standing black reverse cross..."

I observed it carefully and tapped some black mud with my finger to experiment.

A few minutes later, Freni closed the wooden box and her face became extremely heavy.

"I remembered where I saw records about the Black Robe Organization."

Hearing this, Ryan's eyes sharpened, and he sat upright, listening to Miss Witch's story.

"That should be regarded as a miscellany. It doesn't even have a title, so my impression of it is very shallow." Freni said softly:

"The general content of this miscellany is to record the fragmentary stories of a traveler's travels in various countries on the mainland."

"There are several later stories, which record a cult organization that wore black robes and could transform into a black monster snake. Because of its existence, many small kingdoms were burned to the ground and turned into ruins under the raging fire."

"This miscellany was written hundreds of years ago. It does not have more specific descriptions of this cult. Most people who have read it just regard it as an interesting story. After all, among the many kingdoms in the mainland, in addition to standing at the top Except for those few, the other small kingdoms have been updated and iterated countless times over the past millennium.”

"Although the specific name of this cult is unknown, according to the records of the story, almost all places where it has appeared have turned into boundless purgatory, without exception."

After listening to Freni's story, Ryan's eyes became heavy.

If it were just a story, it wouldn't be anything. But if you connect this story with "The Hanged Man", then everything is probably not groundless.

The strange spirit, the squirming sticky black mud, the terrifying recovery ability of resurrection...

At present, although the "Hanged Man" is dead, for some reason, Ryan always has a faint sense of depression in his heart.

At his level of strength, the so-called "premonition" is by no means formed for no reason, but more like a warning to him after the body receives various information from the dark.

Fortunately, now he, Freni and Cecilia are far away from the center of the vortex of the underground maze. Even if something really happens on the island, it will not affect them. If it doesn't work, the three of them can directly rob a pirate ship and run away.

With this thought, Ryan was relieved a little.

"I see, it's a pity that there is no further information." Ryan sighed slightly, and then said: "Rest first, Captain, Miss Cecilia, you have worked hard to go deep into the underground maze to collect materials."

"You should rest early too." Freni said softly.

She knew that compared to her and Cecilia, Ryan, who followed the "Overturned Palace" to perform a special mission, was truly exhausted.

That experience, even as an observer, made her feel terrified.

"Yeah." Ryan nodded and stood up: "There are quite a lot of wooden houses here. I have cleaned up this one and let you live in it. I will go to the next door."

"If you have anything, just call me directly."

Watching Ryan's back disappearing at the corner of the door, Furenee's eyes showed a hint of complexity.

Speaking of which, her original intention of recruiting Mr. Ryan as a partner was just to find a navigator. Who would have thought that after going through so much along the way, the relationship between the two sides has become closer, and the little newbie who was just entering the professional road has now grown into a pillar of the team...

"I also want to work harder..."

Miss Witch said silently in her heart.

"Last night, due to special circumstances, I was unable to visit. I can't miss it again tonight."

...

After coming to the wooden house next door, Ryan cleaned up briefly and took out a small raft from the space ring to use as a bed.

He often slept on the raft, so he was not used to sleeping anywhere else now.

Ryan laughed, then lay down on the raft, quietly waiting for the arrival of 0 o'clock.

As the cooling of the "travel function" of [Unknown Ship Sculpture] ended, Ryan closed his eyes and silently said in his heart:

"Travel, start!"

...

City of Saint Tos, Central District, Libra Holy Church Main Hall.

In the magnificent cathedral.

Libra Pope Saint Berg stood alone in front of the huge stone statue with a blurred face, silent.

At this moment, this hall symbolizing the supreme power of Libra, except for the Libra Pope, no one else, seemed empty and cold.

Libra Pope Saint Berg slowly raised his head and looked at the gods. As the most loyal servant of the gods, there was no faith in his eyes:

"The temples and artifacts all show your greatness..."

"But since I joined the Libra Holy Church, as the person closest to the gods, even I have never seen your face..."

"I don't even know whether you really exist..."

"In this golden age, do gods really exist?"

Libra Pope Saint Berg's tone was slightly confused.

"Since I can't see the gods in person, let me witness what existed in the era of gods..."

In his increasingly excited tone, Libra Pope raised his hand, and a drop of pure and flawless golden liquid dripped from his fingertips and seeped into the ground.

If someone could see through the underground rock layer, they would find that the drop of metal liquid fell faster and faster, and it went deep into the underground maze and finally fell on the ground before the entrance to the ninth floor.

As it merged, the lifeless black mud began to wriggle slightly after a while, and this phenomenon quickly spread to all the black mud.

After an unknown period of time, the humanoid body of the "Hanged Man" condensed again, but the difference from before was that at this moment, a golden Libra mark appeared between its eyebrows.

Like a puppet, it took a stiff step and trembled to the 100-meter stone gate.

As it pressed its hands on the stone gate, the golden veins spread quickly, and soon covered the entire stone gate.

A huge golden Libra mark appeared on the 100-meter stone gate, and the next moment, the mark shattered.

A terrifying crack appeared on the stone gate.

All the professionals in the entire underground maze could clearly feel the strong vibration of the ground.

At the same time, the pupils of all the monsters in the maze became scarlet as blood. They were already very aggressive and became completely crazy. They not only actively attacked the professionals, but also bit each other.

In an instant, the professionals suffered heavy casualties.

The sudden change made all the adventurers panic and want to escape from the maze, but it was easy to get in, but it was not so easy to get out.

The originally open maze entrance was now blocked by a layer of light golden film. Even the full-strength attack of the third-level hero professional could only cause slight ripples on the film.

There was a golden film blocking the road in front, and monsters with greatly increased combat power behind them. At this moment, the professionals trapped in the underground maze were desperate.

The strong smell of blood permeated the entire underground maze, and at the entrance to the ninth floor of the underground maze, behind the broken stone door, a huge eye slowly opened from a long slumber.

……

When the vision in front of him became normal, Ryan had come to the "raft".

He habitually glanced at the mast, but after not seeing the "letter for help", he stood up and walked to the campfire.

With the scattering of sparks, he had been teleported to [Bonfire Point-Volcano Cave].

The sudden rise in ambient temperature made Ryan lick his lips.

After checking the supplies and making sure that the important material of fresh water was sufficient, he stood up and walked out of the campfire.

Standing in front of the entrance passage of the volcano, Ryan put on armor, carried a big sword on his back, and walked in with a vigilant expression.

According to the notes left by the deputy leader of the hunting group, the monsters living in the volcanic area are extremely powerful, and it is likely that they are at least [upper] level.

Although Ryan now has the strength to defeat the [superior] monster, due to the huge tonnage difference between the human body and the special species, if he is attacked by a [superior] monster without being prepared, even if he is wearing [horned dragon armor], he will be seriously injured.

He can't help but be vigilant.

From the passage to the inner magma zone, the temperature of the environment has obviously increased a lot, but fortunately Ryan's current fire resistance can still withstand it.

He looked around solemnly.

There are several protruding dark red rocks on the bubbling magma pool, and no signs of any monsters have been found so far.

Ryan exhaled lightly, raised his hand to hold the hilt of the big sword behind him, and moved forward carefully.

After walking more than ten steps, he suddenly stopped.

Although there was no sign of any monster, for some reason, he had a vague feeling that he was being watched.

——There are monsters, lurking around!

Ryan's heart trembled and he made a quick judgment.

He believed in his intuition!

So, he stopped and scanned the surroundings more carefully and meticulously. He didn't miss any of the high rock ceilings or the cracks in the stone walls.

Soon, Ryan's eyes were locked on a protruding dark red rock on the magma pool.

"It didn't seem to be here just now?"

"It was relatively offset by at least three meters!"

With a strong memory, Ryan quickly made a comparison in his mind.

"I caught your tail..."

Ryan raised his hand, and the dark gold blood-patterned gloves were filled with light. Soon, a blood-colored spiral spear appeared in his palm.

The blood spear with full blood consumption not only had a more transparent color, but also spread complex patterns on the spear body. A faint blood flame burned at the tip of the spear, giving people a feeling of invincibility.

His eyes were locked on this protruding dark red stone. A second later, a mark similar to a "crosshair" appeared faintly in Ryan's sight.

——This is the "locking" ability of the blood spear!

Without hesitation, he threw the blood spear decisively.

"Swish!"

The air tore and wailed, and the blood-colored light crossed a distance of dozens of meters and accurately shot towards the dark red rock.

Feeling the strong crisis, the dark red rock no longer disguised itself, and with the splash of magma, a huge black and red strange fish raised its head from it.

——[[Upper] Molten Fish Dragon]!
