Chapter 557 Black Coffin
After placing this rune stone, the team continued to move forward to the next location to place the next rune stone.
The atmosphere in the team was dull and boring. The hierarchy of the Church of Thorns was strict. The warrior-level leader who led the team would only give orders when necessary and assign tasks to be done.
The enhanced elite holy warriors and elite fanatics under his command had no doubts about the leader's orders and carried them out silently.
Of course, the official holy warriors would bully the fanatics, and the fanatics would bully the weaker believers. Bai Pu, as the bottom of the "contempt chain", naturally did the most work, but he could get very little information.
Finally, after placing the three rune stones, the team's mission was over.
The team returned and gathered with the other three teams beside a relatively empty underground lake.
The open space by the lake.
The Thorn believers bowed their heads one by one, showing their respect and obedience.
"The great God's favored one, the Bound One has come. You cannot talk about him or look at him directly, lest you blaspheme." The leader warned.
Bai Pu knelt in a crowd of black robes and glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.
A group of people slowly appeared.
Walking in the front were two leaders of the Holy War Corps. One was tall and thin, with two scimitars on his back, looking very tough. The other had a cold temperament, wrapped in a black robe, exuding a deadly atmosphere that kept strangers away.
After the double-knife man and the deadly man, there was a guy carrying a black coffin on his back, the "Bound One".
It's better to say that the Bound One was tied to the black coffin than to say that he was carrying a coffin.
Because the coffin was too wide, the Bound One had to raise his arms horizontally, and the black chain that tied the coffin also firmly fixed his wrists.
This posture was undoubtedly very hard. Bai Pu estimated that this should be related to the suffering chosen by the bound person. To endure the suffering of being bound, maybe it is a kind of practice for the bound person?
This guy may be more powerful than the two-faced man...
It's a pity that Bai Pu couldn't look at him directly. After a quick glance, he lowered his head and played the quail.
Otherwise, he could use the skill [Strong Enemy Sense] attached to the helmet to see how powerful this lord is.
Bai Pu always had a faint sense of crisis in his heart.
This sense of crisis did not come from the bound person, but from the black coffin he was carrying!
Bai Pu's spiritual perception was quite sharp. This was the spirit warning him to stay away from those terrible threats that exceeded his own level.
"I have approached the deepest secret of this high-level spiritual world..."
Bai Pu lowered his eyes and listened to the bound person's public lecture, giving orders to the leaders and several enhanced warriors around him.
"The great Lord of Suffering is watching us."
"This operation to recover the 'Spirit of Creation' is of great significance! Once successful, my God will completely occupy this continent and turn the world of original sin into his own kingdom of God on earth. Everyone will be bathed in the glory of my God!"
"You are the lucky ones who have experienced the life and death test of the God-given cenote. You have done a lot of preparations these days and deserve praise. However, the next work is the key. You must be very alert and take it seriously!"
Hearing this, Bai Pu suddenly understood.
Why did the Church of Thorns, with its power all over the continent, only send out these small followers?
Except for the two leaders of the Holy War Corps, the others are only warriors, equivalent to priests, and there is not even a bishop.
It seems that the people of the Church of Thorns sneaked in from a God-given cenote, and that God-given cenote should have a more terrible life and death test, which may be a test of probability of death regardless of strength, so in the end only these four teams came here.
Bai Pu had seen this kind of test before. In the ruins of the Red Sand Kingdom in the world of Doumo, there is a door of courage that tests the courage to face life and death, with a 50% random mortality rate...
Bai Pu forced his way in through the underground dark river, detecting the weak points of the earth veins, and forcibly broke in, which was equivalent to a bug, so he did not experience a similar test. Of course, it is also possible that the test has been passed, and Bai Pu has passed it without knowing it.
At this time, the speech of the bound person was approaching the end:
"I know that something happened in the southwest jungle recently, and some people are worried that the Blasphemer Organization will revive."
"You don't have to think too much! Once my god completely controls the world of original sin, there will inevitably be a religious cleansing. Converts will have the opportunity to atone for their sins, and those who resist will only die!"
"Now, according to your respective positions, wait for the appearance of the Spirit of Creation... Be patient enough!"
Everyone agreed and walked in different directions of the underground lake in batches.
Bai Pu also followed his team and moved forward silently.
"Wait..."
Suddenly, the bound person paused and raised his hand to stop everyone.
He tilted his head, as if listening to something, his cold eyes swept across the four teams present, and finally stopped in front of Bai Pu's team.
"Master Bound, do you have any instructions?" the captain asked respectfully.
"A small matter."
The Bound's eyes were fixed on Bai Pu, "I didn't expect that such a secret matter would have a rat sneak in. If it weren't for the Virgin Mary's advice, I'm afraid I would have made the same mistake as the Gilded One."
Swish!
A group of figures, keeping a certain distance, surrounded Bai Pu.
Bai Pu stood up and took off his hood.
"I didn't expect you to be able to see through my mental shield."
Bai Pu took off his disguised black robe and straightened his waist. As he breathed, a powerful aura quietly filled the air.
"Hmph, everything you hide can't escape the insight of Our Lady."
The Bound One stared at Bai Pu for a few seconds, "You are the new leader of the Blasphemy from the southwest jungle, right Steel Heart? I'm surprised that you can actually find this place and have the audacity to try to destroy me. But I am also very happy that you came to the door so stupidly, it is a great opportunity to eliminate the remnants of the blasphemers!"
Mentioning Our Lady of Thorns twice, Bai Pu finally confirmed his guess.
His heart felt cold, and he pointed to the black coffin behind the bound person: "The person lying in that coffin must be the Virgin of Thorns..."
"Don't worry, there is no need for Our Lady to take action." The bound person raised his arm, and a wrapped bandage slowly fell off, dancing spiritually like a spiritual snake.
The leader of the Holy War Army, "The Man with Two Knives," sneered and said: "Lord Bound One, you need to take charge of the overall situation. Leave this blasphemer to me, the 'Blade Dancer' Izra!"
The Bound One grunted: "Don't underestimate him. Mr. Rosen, please work with Izra to kill this blasphemer! Both my god and the Lord of Death that you believe in will be happy. "
