What's wrong with being a salted fish?

Lin Zhuo was not surprised by the sudden presence of someone beside his pillow when he woke up. He knew that Love would always have a reason to sneak back, but Love had never tried, otherwise he would know that he actually had no reason to come back. Lock the door.

Today they were going to split into two teams. Lin Zhuo went to the dungeon alone, while the other three went to the dark priest's home.

......

Lover, Xun and Misselin put on disguises and arrived at the door of the priest's house.

Surprisingly, the place where he lives is just an ordinary cabin. The house was built in the forest on the edge of Skadi. Lover closed his eyes and used magic to sense the surrounding area. He found that except here, the rest of the place was quiet, and there seemed to be no other residents.

Do you dark priests like to live in remote, uninhabited places?

Love signaled the two of them to stand behind him, and then he stepped forward and pushed the door open. The door seemed to be enchanted and difficult to open. Lover didn't use any magic power. He kicked the door hard and used brute force to force the door open, startling the birds living in the forest.

Lover didn't want to make such a big noise, but his light magic couldn't remove the dark magic attached to the door, so he had no choice but to physically open the door.

The house is not big, and everything is clearly visible. The strange thing is that every part of the house is very clean and strange, as if no one has lived there.

Seeing this, Lover used the truth spell on the man and confirmed that this was indeed his home, but he did not live on the upper floor but moved underground.

Just when Love was about to ask about the entrance to the underground, the man's body began to melt in the container. He pressed his hands on the wall of the container, as if he wanted to escape, but the melting speed was very fast, and his parts were stuck like mud. Together, the man quickly turned into a puddle of liquid and became unresponsive.

His strange appearance shocked the three of them, and Love couldn't believe it. He just tried to release him but failed, as if he was blocked. And he was convinced that a man could not escape from his container, so was he really dead now? Could it be the hand of a dark god? Is he spying on his subordinates?

At the same time, the handsome white-haired man sitting on Basil's throne rested his face on his hands and leaned lazily on the back of the chair. The person under his feet seemed to be Basil's crown prince. The prince did not dare to speak and could only remain silent. Playing the role of footstool for fear of upsetting the man. In front of the man was a transparent water mirror, through which he was observing the movements of the three Lovers.

He nodded Lover and looked at his old friend. Why did he still like to wear women's clothes now? What a unique hobby.

He turned the mirror and looked at the two men with different figures in the mirror. He pressed the bridge of his nose with his hand in confusion and rubbed his eyes: Why is his old friend still accompanied by two men? His new disciple? Is there something special about these two people?

Lover's nose felt a little itchy, and he felt like someone was talking about him. Suddenly he raised his eyes and looked somewhere, and everything appeared in his hand. He pointed there seemingly casually, but it seemed to have infinite power. The white-haired man who suddenly met Love's eyes was stunned for a moment, and then the water mirror suddenly shattered in front of him, and then a ferocious smile appeared on his beautiful face: Look, his temper is still so bad. You have such strength even before you have recovered. I really look forward to meeting you!

"What's wrong?" Xun looked at Lover suddenly looking serious and taking action somewhere.

"It's nothing, some people just like to peep." Lover took off his disguise. The sight just now seemed to know his identity, and there was no need to pretend anymore.

Xun looked at his big belly and regretted it very much. If he had known that he would not play such a role, it was not beautiful and it was difficult to move. He really couldn't understand what he was thinking at that time. She looked at Misselin's outfit next to her. She was so jeweled that she looked like a young master from a wealthy family.

"Otherwise, how about hiding Misselin first?" No, can’t we put Xiaolin in?”

Xun's words gave Love a new idea, which he had never thought of before. He rummaged around in his storage bag and finally took out a necklace. The necklace is a simple silver chain with a six-pointed star hanging on it.

"You take it with you." Love threw it to Xun, "Then take Misselin's hand and recite her name silently, and she will be sent to the space in the hexagram, but you have to protect it. Once the six-pointed star is broken, Miserin will not be able to come out."

Xun hung it around his neck and hid it under his collar to show that he understood.

Following Love's teachings, she successfully sent Misselin into a relatively safe space, which also made her relieved. Personal protection was the most reassuring.

Xun touched the position of the six-pointed star and asked Love: "Can Misselin see outside? Otherwise, will it be boring?"

Lover nodded and said yes, and Miserin could talk to Xun Yiyi, and then he reminded Xun to remember to deliver food to Miserin and don't starve her.

Xun's expression changed again and again, and finally he couldn't help but swore a dragon curse. I'm not an idiot! Why does Lover's words sound so like a prison visit! And tell him to shut up quickly.

Xun also took off his disguise and felt much more relaxed. In this way, even if the dirty thing finds him, he won't be able to find Misselin. Although I have to continue to pretend during the banquet.

The two of them split up to find a way into the underground space. But they turned the whole house upside down and couldn't find any mechanism.

Suddenly, Misselin told Xun in the space that there was an ugly black sculpture on the bookshelf. Xun just thought it was too ugly and didn't touch it, so she asked Xun to try it now.

Misselin said this, even if Xun hated that ugly thing, she would go up and touch it, but I have to say, it is really ugly.

I don't know what kind of strange species Diao De is. It doesn't look like a human or an animal. It's a pitch-black mass with all kinds of weird limbs. Xun feels psychologically uncomfortable just by looking at it.

She encouraged herself in her heart, just touch it once! If possible, she really doesn't want to touch it, she hates this thing from the bottom of her heart!

Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Misselin suggested that she let Love give it a try. Xun nodded madly in agreement and conveyed Misselin's words to Love.

Lover first tried it with all things, and after confirming that there was no strange magic on it, he took hold of the head of this strange thing and tried it on both sides, but found that there was no way to rotate it.

Misselin frowned. Did she guess wrong?

Love thought for a moment and tentatively pulled the thing out, but he didn't expect it to succeed.

As the thing was pulled up, a huge formation engraved with strange runes lit up from the ground, trapping the two people in the formation.

Lover carefully identified the runes on the formation and judged that it was probably a teleportation formation, but he didn't know where it would send them.

The dazzling light made the two of them close their eyes. When the light disappeared, the cabin returned to calm, and the scattered items on the floor returned to their original places. Everything was the same as when they came, as if no one had visited here.

When the two opened their eyes again, the sight in front of them froze them both.

This place seems to be really underground, airtight and without natural light. It is made of thick bricks on all sides, as if it is a secret room with no way out. Only a few scattered luminous stones were embedded in the walls to provide light.

But the first thing it illuminates is the densely packed skinned corpses. They are men and women, hanging on the beams with blood, like wind chimes hanging under the window, as if the wind blows, they will follow. Swinging from side to side.

And it seems that there are different levels of newness and oldness. Some people's feet are still dripping with blood, while some people have already dried up, and the liquid has dried up on their bodies. It is unknown how long they have been here.

The final destination of this blood is to collect into a huge pool. There is a small platform in the middle of the pool. Both are carved with complex patterns. Placed on the platform is a token given to believers by the Dark God, a piece similar to a crow. The feather thing was properly placed on it, held up by red satin. I didn't know for a while whether it was the blood red in the pool or the red satin.

Now the two of them knew why Lin Zhuo said that he had a foul smell on his body. He stayed here every day and it was difficult not to get the smell.

"Grass, what is this?!" Xun was just a carefree little dragon before this. She had never heard of or seen such a scene. Her stomach was churning, as if it was about to surge at any time. In her throat, she was extremely glad that she had placed Miserin in advance. She did not want Miserin to feel the smell of this place. "I finally understand. It turns out that this guy is interested in your body." Xun was talking about the priest who had come forward for Love.

Thank you, this kind of thing really makes people not happy at all!

"Let Love see if there is also a formation on the ground." Misselin couldn't bear to look directly at this scene, and turned her head away in the space, but she still noticed the lines on the ground, please ask Xun.

"Xiao Lin said there is something on the ground, please identify it." Looking at these corpses next to each other, Xun's scalp went numb. How crazy must one be to do such a thing?

No need to be reminded, Lover had already seen another formation painted on the ground. After roughly describing the appearance of the formation in his mind, he frowned: "Dedicate your pure soul to my lord, and long for my lord to get rid of the shackles." Supreme power..."

"What are you talking about?" Xun didn't hear clearly what he was saying. He only heard something about my Lord, and thought that Love was praying to the God of Light at this juncture.

"This is part of the Dark Sacrifice Formation. A person's soul is sacrificed to the Dark God to help him become stronger." Lover knelt down and touched its lines with his hand.

"Then if we destroy this formation, will it harm the Dark God?"

Lover shook his head after listening to Xun's words: "This formation has been set up for many years. These people are not the first batch of people to be sacrificed, but the last batch. Now that the formation has taken shape, there is no way to destroy it with external force. "

"You mean, there are far more victims than these people?" Xun looked at the slightly exaggerated number of people in front of him, and it was hard to imagine that this was only a small part of them.

"Yes, and there is more than one formation. The current Dark God is far more powerful than we thought." It seems that this god has been planning to come in person for a long time, and it is not easy to endure it until now.

"Isn't that Zhuo very dangerous?" You must know that Lin Zhuo is now alone under the eyes of the Dark God.

Lover was silent and his expression was ugly. He also knew that Lin Zhuo was in danger, and since the formation could not destroy them, he should leave here and meet with Lin Zhuo before discussing, but he couldn't get out, and he couldn't find a way out. I don’t know how the dark priest got out.

Xun also saw the impatience underneath Lover's calm surface. Now he wants to leave here more than anyone else, and he can't calm down to think. She understands his feelings and can only comfort him: "Calm down, since that guy can get out, It means there must be a way, let’s look for it!”

Lover also knew that he couldn't mess up now, but he couldn't control his heart. When he thought that Lin Zhuo might be in danger, he couldn't wait to appear next to Lin Zhuo immediately. But now, he could only force himself to calm down and look for clues to get out of here.

......

Lin Zhuo, who didn't know what happened to the three of them, had already avoided the guards of the Basil Palace, figured out the location of the dungeon, and sneaked towards it.

But strangely, Lin Zhuo found that the closer he got to the dungeon, the fewer guards there were. Logically speaking, creatures like dragons shouldn't be strictly guarded, right? How could you be so relieved?

Although he knew there was something strange, Lin Zhuo had to go down to explore. He couldn't gamble. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance of being one of his own people down there, he still had to go down and see with his own eyes.

Lin Zhuo used magic to reduce his presence and walked down the dungeon.

The dungeon was very damp and cold, which made Lin Zhuo very uncomfortable. He felt as if his clothes were sticking to his body. The wind from nowhere blew on his ears, making him tremble. He felt a bit like a déjà vu in a horror movie.

The dungeon is very long, with iron bars covered with magic on both sides to prevent prisoners from escaping. But there were actually not many people imprisoned in the dungeon now. Those people were sitting in the corner with disheveled hair and did not feel Lin Zhuo's presence.

Lin Zhuo walked towards the depths of the dungeon, getting closer, and finally heard some different sounds, which sounded like the movement of the chains being dragged.

Lin Zhuo stood in front of this cell. It was in the deepest part of the dungeon and the room was extremely large. Several thick chains pierced the wings and limbs of the purple dragon in front of him and nailed it to the ground. Lin Zhuo had just The sound he heard was caused by him moving his wings a few times.

It was indeed a dragon, Lin Zhuo thought, but it was extremely weird.

So many chains pierced his flesh, but he didn't react at all. He even just shook his wings lazily. Couldn't he feel the pain?

At this time, the purple dragon suddenly opened its eyes and looked directly at Lin Zhuo.

Lin Zhuo was shocked, as his magic seemed to have failed in front of him.

"Look, who is this? What do you want from me?" Zilong's voice was surprisingly lazy, and he even opened his mouth and yawned.

"Are you a dragon?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Zilong shook his wings, and the chain made a sound again.

"Don't you feel any pain?"

"Hmm? Of course it hurts."

Then he really couldn't see it at all.

"Did you know that Basil was going to hold an all-dragon banquet?" Lin Zhuo saw that he didn't seem to be worried at all.

"Of course." Zilong nodded.

"Then why don't you run?"

"Because I'm not a real dragon." Zilong tilted his head, looking like he didn't understand what Lin Zhuo was talking about.

"What do you mean?" His words were inconsistent. Lin Zhuo felt something was wrong and started to step back.

"When I hear something happened to a dragon, the only ones who come to check are real dragons. Are you right? My little friend." Zilong transformed into a white-haired man. He was wearing purple clothes with embroidered embroidery on them. Wearing white patterns, wearing high white boots that reach to the thighs, her white hair is tied back with a purple hairband, and there are a few strands on both sides of her cheeks that are not tied up. She looks like a casual but elegant person. Nobility without losing elegance.

run!

Lin Zhuo immediately started running away when the man spoke. He seemed to know why he was locked in the innermost room, to make it difficult for him to escape.

"It's so rude. You didn't even listen to what was said." The man casually moved his index finger, and Lin Zhuo was pinned to the spot, unable to move forward.

Hey!

Lin Zhuo cursed in his heart, this guy must be the God of Darkness. The pressure of the god on him made it difficult to breathe.

"I originally thought I could catch that little black dragon, but I didn't expect there was an unexpected harvest." The man pinched Lin Zhuo's face and smiled evilly: "But you have an annoying aura. When will the dragon clan also believe in the light?" That guy is God, where is your patron saint? Is he dead?"

I said I was pinching my face by you, do you believe it?

If he hadn't been unable to move, Lin Zhuo would have really wanted to spit Xingzi in his face.

What is your identity? Pinch yourself like this! Damn it, the gods are all old liars!

"Forget it." The man shook Lin Zhuo's face away, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, "Anyway, we have the ingredients for the Dragon Banquet. I wonder if those old guys from the Dragon Clan will know that I ate their own kind. It would be great if he came to the door angrily." The man hummed a tune and prepared to leave, not forgetting to take Lin Zhuo with him when he left.
