The Whispering Verses Chapter 2392: The seal of the ancient witch
Shad actually feels that his "Lion Armor of Light" should also be able to help Miss Knight resist the influence of abnormal forces. Unfortunately, the size of the armor seemed to be tailor-made for him. As an ordinary woman, Miss Knight's height and weight were too different from Shad's. Once she put it on, her movements would be seriously affected, so he didn't say much.
The "Five Person Ritual" left by the ancient witch was specially invented to penetrate into the body of the worm. The content of the ritual is quite simple. Although the various rare materials obtained from the desert are not enough to fully meet the needs, the Philosopher's Stone found in the coffin that sealed the demon last time can play a major role.
[Philosopher's Stone] is a universal substitute material for rituals, and even if part of the Philosopher's Stone is consumed for the ritual, there is still a lot of remaining Philosopher's Stone.
"I never thought that I would use the 'Philosopher's Stone' so wastefully. No, I never thought that I would one day use the 'Philosopher's Stone'."
Miss Sandel whispered while making final preparations.
After everything was ready and everyone drank their different potions, Shade raised the torch, Miss Sandel held up a bright blue water balloon, and Granny Siam let the vines attach to her relic crutch. Miss Meister burned a handful of sand with flames and let the remaining crystals float around her.
As for Miss Knight, originally Shade and Grandma Siam Nord wanted to enchant her knight's sword, but after Miss Meister inspected it, she believed that the fragile sword could not withstand the force.
It is possible to temporarily forge a sword, but it is extremely time-consuming. And then Shade discovered that the soul of the ancient hero passed on to him the [Power of the Earth, Blessing of All Things] before he left. The petrified sword also meets the ritual requirements.
So Miss Knight held the petrified sword, put on the helmet again, and walked with everyone towards the depths of the mouth of the huge open head.
The bug's body can indeed isolate the abnormal light from the outside world, and because Shade actually only opened the seal instead of destroying the seal of the ancient witch, under the effect of the seal, it is impossible to use space to move inside the bug's body. strength.
The torch in his hand provided light for everyone, and also allowed everyone to see clearly that the insect's body had no flesh and blood structure, and it looked completely like a stone cave. There was just some residue of a sticky black substance on the ground. No one could recognize what it was, so no one dared to touch it.
The further you walk towards the inside of the insect corpse, the more you can feel that the surrounding side walls have become smoother, and they even look like artificially dug passages. The five-pointed star ceremony composed of the red of the flame, the blue of the water ball, the yellow of the sand crystal, the green of the vines and the metallic color displayed after the long sword was enchanted, resisted their bodies from turning into sand. Feeling of heaviness.
But even with the help of ritual, the power of the worm corpse still asserts itself. There is no sign of it on Shade, Grandma Siam and Miss Meister. Every time Miss Sandel and Miss Knight take a step, gravel will fall down on their bodies.
The invisible mental pressure even made Shade feel dizzy, but even Miss Knight could continue to move forward, and of course he would not say that he wanted to rest.
Fortunately, the seal of the ancient witch is really strong. Even if the hole has been opened, the power in the worm's body cannot immediately become restless. When the people who were moving forward silently saw a light appearing in front of them, everyone except Miss Meister became excited:
"Found it!"
The gravity inside the bug's body is also affected by the abnormal force. The farther inward, the greater the gravity. Because they had to take care of Miss Knight, even though they had already seen the end point, the walking speed of the excited people remained unchanged.
Shad's physical strength has no problem withstanding this huge gravity, but except for him, the speed of the other four people is slowing down. Of course, Miss Meister must be faking it. Granny Siam Nord is not in her prime because of aging. As for the mermaid girl, her performance is similar to Granny Siam Nord, or even better. This may be related to the deep sea environment in which she lives. Related to the huge water pressure.
But no matter what, I moved forward step by step, and finally succeeded in reaching the shining position. According to Shade's estimation, this location is not the tail of the insect, but slightly behind the middle.
When they saw the scene at the light source clearly, everyone immediately noticed the last compass fragment.
The overall glowing light source appears to be a huge spherical shape, but in fact the light comes from three rings whose centers coincide with each other, are tilted 60 degrees to each other, and rotate in staggered directions. Each wheel ring is inlaid with thirteen different items, and the last compass fragment needed to find the "Heart of the Oasis" is impressively embedded in one of the wheel rings.
In the center of these three hollow rings, that is, in the center of the golden light, is a long, snake-like monster with its body curled up. The thing was obviously alive. Its pitch-black body was almost identical to that of the giant worm, and the head of the snake-sized worm also looked like a human being.
It looked very weak. Even if it noticed the arrival of everyone, it only trembled a few times.
Even Miss Knight, who knew the least about mysticism, could see that this was the core of the seal. Obviously, what is imprisoned by the three rotating golden rings should be the remaining power of the giant worm's corpse.
"If we take away the compass fragment, will it destroy the seal?"
Miss Sandel asked worriedly, and Granny Siam Nord hesitated:
"Judging from the current situation, the power of this worm is much weaker than when it was sealed by the ancient witch. It is also possible that the compass fragments were taken away, which will not have much impact. Of course, this is just speculation."
As he spoke, he looked at Shade, and Shade asked the light brown-skinned lady:
"Miss Meister, what do you think?"
I originally thought that this lady would say something like "I don't know either", but I didn't expect that she actually stepped forward and carefully observed the situation of the seal, and then came to the conclusion:
"Judging from the ether flow of this seal, just removing the compass fragments will not directly destroy the entire seal. The methods of the ancient witch are not that fragile.
But the ancient earth witch should also have left behind a method to deal with the seal being artificially destroyed: if we try to destroy the seal internally, maybe the seal will be fully activated again. At that time, if we cannot leave immediately, we will be trapped inside the corpse of this bug forever. Of course, if there is a way to weaken the remaining power of this corpse, the ancient witch's seal will be reactivated slower. ”
Although Miss Meister's tone meant speculation, Shade had already regarded this as fact:
"In other words, we can take away the compass, but after taking away the compass, we have to leave very quickly."
The other three people did not question this "speculation". Although Shade knew that this **** was fully capable of directly solving this trouble, he obviously would not take action again.
"I am the slowest. If necessary, you don't have to worry about my safety."
Miss Knight said immediately, and Miss Sandel opened her mouth, but did not say anything and did not need to care about her own safety.
Siam Nord’s mother-in-law shook her head:
"Without the protection of the five-person ceremony, none of us can get out. Now is not the time to sacrifice."
She did not mention that the "five-person" ceremony can be maintained by four people, and judging from the situation when she came in just now, at least close to the "exit", Shade, Miss Meister and Siam Grandma De can pass safely by herself.
"Don't rush and prepare to escape. Let me try to see if we can weaken the power of this thing."
Xia De frowned and said, coming to the light and trying to put his hand in.
After his hands touched the light produced by the three-wheeled golden ring, he thought that there would be power to bounce him away immediately, but in fact he just paused and his right hand entered it smoothly.
[Outlander, the number of "Witch Reverberations" you possess has reached the limit. The ancient earth witch's sealing ceremony has made you a witch with a seat in the parliament by default. 】
The "she" in his ear softly explained the information obtained from the power. Shade didn't care and continued to stretch his hand inwards.
The tiny worm that was originally just trembling suddenly jumped up and bit Shade's finger when Shade's hand was about to reach the core of the seal.
It's just that under the suppression of the seal, its movements are too slow. Shade dodged the insect very deftly and even touched it before retracting his hand.
Grandma Siam Nord, who also came to the seal, immediately saw that the entire surface of Shade's right index finger was covered with a layer of gravel. But before more transformations occurred, the "pollution" faded away on its own, allowing Shade's fingers to return to normal:
"My petrification resistance is very high."
He explained, and then informed his companions of the results of the investigation:
"It's very troublesome. The worms here are not entities at all. They are the concrete image of the concept of 'worm corpse power' under the sealing technique of the ancient witch. This thing is extremely polluting, and we don't have any Possibility to destroy it."
Of course others also knew that it was impossible. Except for Miss Meister, the other four people together were probably no match for the ancient earth witch. Even the ancient witches couldn't completely solve the problem, and neither could they.
"We can't hesitate here for too long. In this way, I will try to weaken it. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, we will take away the compass fragment and escape immediately. Whether we succeed in the end depends on fate. . Of course, if you have other ideas, you can propose them now.”
