Chapter 420

During the process of flying upward, Xia De did not forget to find a mask from a pile of small toys in his pocket and put it on his face. But because the speed of rushing was too fast, he almost lost the mask into the sea by mistake.

"Oh!"

That tattoo finally jumped out of the water surface; raindrops hit Xia De's face, and in the surging waves, Xia De also jumped up. While spitting out the water in his mouth, he held the fishing rod tightly with both hands.

Looking around, that huge decaying corpse appeared directly in front of his eyes. The upper body was naked, and only the position of the half-waist was exposed to the water surface. The smell of rot and blood rushed into his nasal cavity; seeing the corpse at that moment, the fear almost made Xia De let go of the fishing rod in his hand.

And the building complex of the Old God's seabed temple surrounding the mermaid seen in the distance, and on the giant waves, was finally able to be seen clearly.

The stone building complex was towering and strange; the spiral buildings violating normal rules revealed the eeriness of the deep-sea civilization. The broken ancient runes on the buildings shone with dim light under the yellowish sky, and large groups of skeletons were distributed on the edges of those broken buildings, and under the yellowish sky, they radiated light similar to phosphorescence, strange and chilling.

The more he looked at the building complex, the more he could hear the rhythmic, rhythmic, and even somewhat wild ethereal chanting. That sound was completely unaffected by the sound of rain and waves, like a girl's soft chanting, and somewhat like a sacred song in a wild temple.

Simple, grotesque, fearful, primitive, and spiral; these were a few words that naturally emerged in Xia De's head after seeing the temple building complex.

And in the building complex surrounding the giant corpse, in the heart position in front of the corpse, in the doors and windows of the seabed temple that seemed to be carved directly from the rock hill, Xia De actually saw firelight.

He saw dark golden fire; just seeing the flickering brilliance, he could feel the scorching heat.

"This is..."

He widened his eyes in the rain; this familiar feeling seemed to be calling him. The desire enhanced by the flesh and blood of 【Desire】 was urging Xia De to touch it, to obtain it.

"Sure enough, it is..."

The temple building complex floating on the sea waves and moving along with the mermaid giant corpse was not an illusion, nor a projection, but the power of this huge corpse constituted a terrifying spatial influence, causing a spatial anomaly zone around the corpse, bringing the fish-man ancient temple that had long coexisted with the corpse out of the Old God's fish-man city on the seabed.

The church's high-tier warlocks were fighting with the few fish-man ring-warlocks of the Ringed Shushi around the temple; the latter had prepared for the ritual for many years, and besides the cult's own ring-warlocks, there were even human ring-warlocks helping them. But even if the fish-men could get a boost in power around the temple, they were still suppressed by the church.

Following the forward waves, fish-men continuously poked their heads out from the seawater, but were quickly killed by the ring-warlocks on the warships. Perhaps they had prepared for the Sea Return ritual for many years, but very coincidentally chose the days after the Tobesk god descent. The True God Sect would not make mistakes again no matter what; now the ring-warlocks of the entire material world were paying attention to the results of Lengshuigang.

And the professors of the academy, at this time, were riding a golden sea ship, literally golden, following behind the mermaid. Various strange spiritual lights were flickering, producing effects on this huge floating corpse.

It was not that the professors wanted to defeat this corpse that had no self-consciousness at all, but that they were trying to appease the corpse, let it return to peace, and not carry the waves to attack Lengshuigang.

The professors' efforts were quite effective, otherwise Xia De would not have to meet it himself; he could just wait on the shore.

The power of the temple and the mermaid corpse greatly interfered with the perception ability of the ring-warlocks, and plus everyone was fighting, so when Xia De flew over, no one actually noticed him in the sky.

It was just that when Xia De looked up at the face of that huge mermaid corpse, that pale face with closed eyes actually showed an eerie expression. Before Xia De could react, the mermaid's eyes actually opened; what Xia De saw in those eyes was a blood-red spiral.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out; he hurriedly closed his eyes.

He was dragged and flew into the temple in front of the corpse's heart, falling heavily on the slimy and damp ground, rolling several times before stopping. Looking up again, the picture in front of him actually had some double images; there were eerie fish-man statues everywhere inside the stone building. Terrible blasphemous runes and terrifying prayers copied from nameless classics were engraved on every flat stone surface.

Besides Xia De, seven or eight people were fighting at the entrance of the temple. Among them were fish-man ring-warlocks of the Ringed Shushi, and ring-warlocks of the True God Sect. The former gathered together, relying on the Evil God's divine arts, barely fighting with those two ring-warlocks whose eleven-tier fate rings emerged behind them. The scarlet light was inverted on them like a cover, but every time they were attacked by the church's ring-warlocks, the scarlet light would become dimmer, and the fish-men would become weaker, it was just that their faces still had a crazy look.

They were looking forward to being able to hold on until the giant waves submerged Lengshuigang; by then everything would be irreversible.

"What are you going to do?"

That eleven-tier warlock with a sun god holy emblem hanging on his chest couldn't help but ask Xia De who fell into the temple; Xia De didn't speak; he tightened the fishing line in his hand, felt the direction the tattoo wanted to go, carefully bypassed the fighting group, chose the second entrance on the right among the eight entrances of the temple's forecourt, and then ran toward the deeper part of the temple along the passage covered with seabed silt.

Neither side of the battle blocked him.

There seemed to be more people in the temple than outside; while running forward quickly, the sound of explosions, angry curses, and rustling running sounds came from all around.

The ceiling and the floor seemed to be vibrating, and the sound of giant waves came from all directions. And the end of the passage was a small hall for prayer, with bones piled up in the silt, using human heads as candle bases. Xia De did not pay attention, still holding the fishing rod, and moved forward under the guidance of the tattoo.

The further forward, the more terrifying the scenery he could see. On the stone walls on both sides of the passage, scenes of ancient mermaid sacrifices were depicted, and the corpse remnants under his feet were also getting more and more, and the shapes were getting more and more terrifying. Besides some fish remnants, even fresh human corpses appeared in the silt.

Xia De felt his heart beating violently; this was not fear, but expectation, expectation of the thing waiting for him in front.

"However, this passage is very similar to the one I saw in 【The Truth of a History (Fifth Era Witch War)】."

It was just very similar; this meant that the two might have been built in the same era.
