Chapter 187: Forbidden Land (1000+)

Liliyat walked into the tree hollow, her inspiration instantly feeling as if it had been pricked by a needle.

The passage was short, its surface smooth yet wrinkled, like the intestine of a giant animal.

After walking for a few minutes, a faint light suddenly appeared ahead.

"Stay by my side, do not act on your own."

Aaron gave this instruction, walking in front.

For some reason, Liliyat suddenly felt much more at ease.

'I clearly joined the Invisible Cult before you did...'

'It was worth moving my own Lingmu here to merge; I really did trick you.'

'Man-Bone' Sipeite followed closely behind Qikatiluo Malisi, his eyes filled with unconcealable shock and worship: "I feel as if I have sensed... the power of my Lord..."

The two of them crossed that ray of light together.

"He is actually so favored by the Year-God?"

"My lord..."

"How truly impolite... wearing a mask while speaking to me, 'Blood Witch' Lieanna... let me see what you look like."

In the Investigation Bureau team, Yagebu looked grim and lowered his voice: "This place... seems to have been sealed by a very high-level power, completely isolated from the outside... we cannot leave through the original passage, I fear... even the gaze of the Year-God cannot penetrate this place, this is impossible! That Count could not have achieved this."

Lieanna looked dazed, letting her own hair turn into countless snake mouths, tearing her flesh away piece by piece.

"The gentleman over there... why not join us?"

Among the Witch Sisterhood, a woman wearing heavy smoky makeup, a gothic dress, and hundreds of small braids looked toward the tall Ghoul among the Lotus Eaters, whose face was exposed only from the jaw down.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I prefer to act freely."

"No, fratricide, patricide, incestuous love, as well as cruelty and bloodthirst... that legendary Count was depraved to begin with!"

Aaron glanced in the direction of the Investigation Bureau and found that the people there were watching coldly, refusing very indifferently.

But now, only the trump cards that still contained power could be used.

Others that required Prayer and response... were basically useless!

The Investigation Bureau possessed many trump cards, some of which could even obtain responses from Hidden Existence and bring down powerful forces.

Immediately, the surrounding space brightened, and they arrived at a huge plaza.

Liliyat muttered to herself, suddenly looking back, her pores tightening: "Where is the passage? Where is the tree hollow?"

And not far away, she saw someone appear out of thin air, who seemed to be the Extraordinary who had been following her!

"It looks like this Lingmu can only be entered, not exited!"

"Qikatiluo Malisi... this is the place your Lotus Eaters excavated, you should know the most information."

"That is correct, the people before have already tried, this place cannot contact the outside world... even... someone tried to pray to the Year-God and hold a Ritual, but did not receive a response."

"That is correct!"

Clark said solemnly from the side, while taking out a magnifying glass and a small brush, coming before a broken stone pillar in the plaza, as if he had seen some treasure: "Looking at the patterns, it should be an architectural style from the late Fabri Dynasty over seven hundred years ago... but the rich historical aura on this is at least over a thousand years old! This... this... I cannot understand it at all... this place might truly be the burial site of that legendary Count!"

Fiona was silent for a moment and gave a reasonable explanation.

Aaron said gravely: "It might be some kind of trap... I sense a kind of isolation."

Lieanna's voice turned cold, the hair on her head grew instantly, wriggling like snakes, and grabbed toward Aaron like tentacles!

Drip! Drip!

Drops of blood fell onto the ground and were quickly absorbed by the plaza.

"I... I am so hungry!"

In the blink of an eye, this powerful Extraordinary of the Witch Sisterhood turned into a withered skeleton, and even that Moon Witch could not save her in time!

The aura of death suddenly appeared in the heart of every Extraordinary.

Qikatiluo's eyes were stained with a trace of Scarlet: "Go!"

These Extraordinaries would soon discover the abnormality here, and by then, perhaps the Lotus Eaters would become the primary target.

Aaron watched this scene and silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.

'Sure enough, once the Sotos bloodline enters here, other Extraordinaries are like dogs seeing a bone...'

"Is this... the Lingmu of the Sotos ancestor?"

"Heh, Moon Witch... I already told the Investigation Bureau the information... this was originally the Lingmu of Auclair Sotos, but it seems there are still some things in the lowest layer, our people dug up a taboo... you saw the outcome, for the sake of having known each other, I will tell you one last piece of information, this place was originally divided into three layers, the top layer has the largest area, the second layer contains vengeful spirits, and the third layer may contain a passage to even lower layers..."

Just then, the hair spreading in mid-air suddenly curled back, and sharp mouthparts grew at the ends, biting into Lieanna.

Among the Witch Sisterhood, a tall witch with long black hair and a cold, beautiful appearance caught a glimpse of Aaron's purple pupils, walked over with light steps, and issued an invitation: "Although our Witch Sisterhood is not a major force, there is no problem with protecting you."

The Sotos bloodline might be very important in this Lingmu, so it would be good to have it in hand as soon as possible!

Behind her, that passage had vanished completely.

The Moon Witch in the gothic dress did not speak, but took a Crystal Ball from her bosom, looked at the light spots inside that were as bright as stars, and shook her head: "Divination is ineffective, I cannot find the correct path..."

"This is possible, you forgot his other identity—the first God's Favored in history, that Green Devil might have prayed for the power of the Year-God to protect this place when building it... Only the Year-God can oppose the Year-God!"

With a certain confidence, the Extraordinaries of the Lotus Eaters followed closely behind Qikatiluo, disappearing into the dark red mist.

Qikatiluo greedily took a breath of air: "There is the aura of my Lord here... hehe... but thinking about it carefully, it is also very normal... back then, that Green Devil was an Extraordinary of 'Red'... he might have had a depraved side that was not displayed, he might have been worshipping my Lord!"

Around the plaza, dark red mist was rolling everywhere, making it impossible to see the path; in the plaza, there were the Extraordinaries who had entered before, they were either carrying Horse Lanterns, holding torches, or using Talismans to illuminate this area of the plaza.

She muttered in her heart, but her body followed honestly.

Qikatiluo's voice carried irrepressible malice: "If you die here, I will enjoy tasting you."

"This place is our domain! Hunt to your heart's content... My Lord needs more Offerings, more flesh and blood!"

Kasuluo whispered: "Then this place... may be more dangerous than we imagined, and... those few items are probably useless."

Unease surfaced in Liliyat's heart: "Stupid rapier, doesn't even know how to hide its pupil color like I do..."

Watching the Lotus Eater team begin to move, the Extraordinaries in the plaza stirred with commotion.

"This place... has a taboo!"

Clark spoke with a heavy expression: "One cannot use Extraordinary Ability rashly... otherwise it will invite terrible consequences!"
