Rebirth in America

Mexico, pyramids in the jungle.

The local indigenous people have returned to their respective gathering places, leaving only traces of their sacrifices in front of the pyramid. There were burnt fires, gnawed bones and some discarded sacrificial items.

This is a sacred place for local tribes. Normally, no one is allowed to come in. Only at special times, such as annual sacrifices, would the tribe's high priest and leader lead the tribe's people and sacrificial objects.

The sacrificial objects are sometimes animals such as cattle, sheep, pigs and deer, and sometimes they are captured enemies, or even girls from the tribe. Blood sacrifice is a common thing in such backward areas. People often disappear here. It is very likely that they were captured by the tribe and became victims of sacrifices.

Jonathan and Angelina carefully bypassed the tribe's secret sentry and arrived at the foot of the pyramid without alerting anyone.

The building in front of us is said to be a pyramid, but in fact it is very different from the Egyptian pyramid in the minds of ordinary people, at least in appearance.

The appearance of the Egyptian pyramid is a triangular cone, and there are no steps to climb up. The pyramid in Mexico has a series of steps that allow you to go directly from the bottom to the top of the pyramid. It was built by the Mayans and is estimated to be at least nearly a thousand years old.

Because it is located in a hot, humid and rain-rich forest, the pyramid has been greatly eroded. The surface is covered with green moss, and the carved patterns on it can be vaguely seen.

"Um?"

Jonathan, who had been walking in front, suddenly stopped and listened for a while. Angelina also looked around cautiously, but found nothing except the chirping of birds and insects.

Jonathan resumed his action, walking forward without saying a word.

"What's wrong?" Angelina couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing," Jonathan's words just made Angelina relax, and he immediately said: "I seemed to have felt a wave of malice sweep through me just now!"

"You mean the count..."

"Maybe, as for the only part of the count's body left in the world. We must not take it lightly."

"If we get this thing, what do you think we will do with it? You know the vampires in the guild don't want us to destroy it."

"But they don't dare to release the count, do they?"

"That's true!" Angelina nodded. She knew those vampires who were greedy for life and fear of death very well: "These guys will only hide in dark corners and don't dare to stand out at all."

"If you can't kill it, you can also keep it sealed. Just like Solomon did. Exile it for thousands of years."

Jonathan and the others walked to the top of the pyramid while talking. At the top there is only a large stone block half as tall as a man, which is square. There is only room for one person to lie down. This is the sacrificial platform. This sacrificial platform will only be used during blood sacrifices. The person used for sacrifice will cut the throat and bleed here, take out the internal organs, and offer sacrifices to the gods.

Tens of millions of sacrifices were killed here.

Victims used for sacrifices are usually given intoxicating herbs and have no reaction at all to what is happening to them. Experienced priests can even remove the entrails of their victims. It can still keep him alive for a while, and then slowly drain out the last drop of blood.

Standing next to the sacrificial altar, Jonathan and Angelina could even feel the gusts of cold wind. Even the fierce sun could not dispel the coldness.

"There's no way to hide anything here!"

Angelina looked at the empty altar, then looked around, but didn't find anything special.

Jonathan didn't answer her words. Instead, he placed his hands on the stone platform and looked carefully at its edge. It was a small groove. There are some plant roots growing on it. Follow these roots to find the thin line-like groove that extends to the bottom of the stone platform.

"What did you find?"

"Yes. There is something wrong with this stone platform. Let's look for it. Maybe there is some mechanism."

As Jonathan said, he felt around on the altar, but couldn't find the mechanism he imagined. Angelina standing aside became a little impatient.

"Get out of the way!" Angelina said.

"Um?"

Jonathan looked up, his expression changed drastically, and he immediately moved away from the stone platform. There was only a "bang" sound, and the entire stone platform was kicked away by Angelina, rolling down the steps of the pyramid.

"You... please don't be so violent!" Jonathan shook his head, feeling that he was in trouble now. Everyone must have heard such a loud noise.

Angelina stuck out her tongue and said sheepishly: "I didn't expect this stone platform to fly away with a kick. Let's not talk about it for now, look!"

Under the original location of the stone platform, a dark cave entrance was exposed, and it was unknown where it led. A stream of smoke that was imperceptible to the naked eye came out from the hole, as if the hole had not been opened for a long time.

The size of the hole is just smaller than the stone platform, and it just sticks on the stone platform to prevent it from falling down. Judging from the edge of the cave entrance, it seems that the position of the stone platform has been moved frequently for a period of time, leaving traces of sliding on it.

Only then did they realize that Angelina was able to kick the stone platform away because it was designed to be mobile. It's just that Angelina's foot strength is really too strong, otherwise the stone platform would not fly out so easily.

"Go down?" Angelina glanced at Jonathan and asked.

"Wait a minute, let me see how deep it is inside first and see if there is any problem with the air." Jonathan first took out a jumping rope, threw it down, and tied a stone to one end of the rope. If the stone reaches the ground, he can feel it.

At the same time, he also carefully sniffed the gas flowing out of the hole, and felt that it was not poisonous. At most, it was just a little less oxygen. For people with super strong physiques, it should not be a big problem. Even if they went down to hold their breath, they It can also last for a long time.

After the rope was lowered for more than ten meters, it reached the ground. The height was not very high. They tied one end of the rope tightly outside, then grabbed the rope with one hand and jumped down to the bottom of the cave.

When I went down, I was hit by the Yin Qi in the cave. His body was almost frozen, and goosebumps kept popping up. When their feet touched the ground, they stepped on something that looked like dead bones. When they looked down and saw that the corpses were long dead, they realized that the cave was a mass cave.

"So, so many corpses!" Angelina covered her mouth and nose. Whispered something.

Although these corpses have been decaying for many years. There is no corpse smell, but there is still an old and rotten smell in this cave. Even if you cover it with your hands. There was no way to block the smell. Angelina's approach only made her feel better.

Jonathan didn't cover his nose, but he didn't speak either. Instead, he picked up his flashlight and looked around the cave. The cave was occupied by the roots of some kind of plant, growing not only on the walls of the cave but also on the corpses. Finger-sized plant roots hung down from the top of the cave, blocking their path.

"Bang! Bang!" Jonathan took out a machete. Cut a passage out of those roots. But just when he was chopping vigorously, he suddenly noticed something was wrong, and a rusty sharp knife stabbed out from behind the roots.

The machete blocked the attacker's sharp knife. Before Jonathan could issue a warning, Angelina behind her already screamed in surprise.

"Be careful! Some of those corpses have mutated!"

"It must have been affected by the count's power. Some of the corpses turned into zombies!"

Angelina shouted. While drawing a gun and shooting. She raised her hand and shot, opening her bow left and right, scattering two corpses trying to get up from the ground.

It's strange to say that these corpses should not be afraid of bullets, but Angelina can kill one with every shot. The body she hit. He could no longer get up, as if he had lost some mysterious power.

The light in front of me wavered, and it turned out that the flashlight fell to the ground. Even under this light, it was enough for experts like them to see clearly the entire cave.

Jonathan held a machete in one hand and drew out the long whip from his waist with the other hand. With a "crack" sound, he danced in a large circle around himself. All zombies that were close to him were beaten to pieces by the powerful force of the whip, and could no longer form a complete body.

If Alex were here and saw this kind of whipping technique, he would have to be shocked, because a casual whip from Jonathan is enough to crack gold and crack rocks, which is comparable to the full force blow of a dark power master.

The two of them are worthy of being legends in the archaeological world. They showed no fear even when faced with such a mountain of corpses and seas of blood, and they beat the zombies into pieces that would make ordinary people's legs weak just by looking at them. In a short time, dozens of revived corpses were disposed of.

But there are at least thousands or even tens of thousands of corpses in this cave. Even if only 1% of the corpses are mutated, the number is still astonishing.

"This is not the way to go!"

"I'd better rush over and find the thing, you cover me!"

Jonathan spoke quickly, and before Angelina could answer, he flew out the machete in his hand, spinning it in the air, cutting off the roots in front, revealing a passage.

At the same time, he moved his feet, kicked up the flashlight on the ground, reached out to grab it, and rushed forward. Not only that, his whip danced in a ball around his body, almost invulnerable to water, and any zombies that came within two meters of him were whipped away by the whip.

His whip is not an ordinary whip, but is made of a mixture of beef tendon, gold thread, silver thread and unknown animal leather. When the whip is drawn, special runes can be formed on the object being struck. In addition, he also specially found a living Buddha monk to bless his magic power. Even if he faced extremely powerful vampires and werewolves, he could severely damage them with one whip.

Angelina's two guns, like his whip, are made of special materials and secret techniques, and have a natural restraint effect on this negative creature.

Jonathan was very fast, and he had reached the end of the cave in just a blink of an eye. The zombies behind him were scattered all over the ground. However, there are so many corpses here that as soon as one falls down, another will get up.

In front of him, there was also a stone platform, which was exactly the same as the sacrificial platform at the top of the pyramid. On top of it, there was a black clay pot, about the size of a football.

Countless plant roots entangled it, and these roots were still growing along the groove. If you think about it carefully, it turns out that after the sacrifice, the blood would flow down the groove and eventually reach the place where the pottery pot is. place.

As for those corpses, they were probably the remains that were thrown down from the cave entrance by Ran after the sacrifice.

The pottery pot is engraved with strange patterns, the most conspicuous of which is a luminous pyramid with the top separated from the bottom. There is also an eye pattern on the pyramid.

"That's it!" Jonathan was delighted and quickly picked up the pot. With one tug, all the entangled roots were torn off. Just as he was about to run back, he suddenly found that the plant roots suddenly came to life, tightly entangled in his hands, feet and body like poisonous snakes.

"Careful! These plants are alive!"

Jonathan only had time to shout, and then he was entangled by the roots like a rice dumpling, unable to move at all. Not only that, these roots seemed to want to penetrate into his clothes, pierce his skin, and suck out his blood.

At this time, he already understood that there must be some kind of power behind these roots, and they woke it up because of their arrival. UU reading www. uukanshu． net

The sudden abnormality caught Jonathan off guard. These roots don't look very big, only about the size of a finger, but they are extremely tough, like cowhide bands. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't exert any strength. The flashlight in his hand had already fallen to the ground, and the body stuck on the ground was shining directly on the top of the cave.

It was all covered with plant roots. They were like awakened poisonous snakes, squirming slowly and constantly coming towards Jonathan.

More and more roots tied him and the pot tightly together. Jonathan could feel that the pot itself was emitting some kind of cold energy. At the same time, he seemed to smell a strong smell of blood, and for a moment everything seemed to be soaked in a sea of ​​blood.

"Oops! This clay pot can no longer suppress the contents inside!" Jonathan immediately knew something was wrong and thought quickly: "It wants to suck my blood through its roots, then break the pot and come out, and then give my body to occupy!"

Those roots have grown into even smaller, spike-like filaments, piercing through the exposed skin of his arms, and a large amount of blood is constantly being sucked away. Not only that, the root filaments are still like living things, It squirmed and stretched along his blood vessels toward his heart.
