Chapter 558 76 Escape from the Temple (2)

Mergwen told Loki in detail about their experiences after they parted. Read

After parting in front of the square, two Styx priests led the way, and Heath followed with 20 guards.

Along the way, all the scholars were immersed in an extremely excited mood. The Styx priests did not even check the pass in their hands before allowing them to enter the temple.

This was completely different from the pyramid in the Langte Oasis where the "Scorpion King" was buried.

Among all the people, only Hooker Raul, who had been silent all the way, showed a trace of vigilance.

Unlike the scholars who lived in the tower and studied the ancient scrolls of their predecessors day and night, Hooker Raul wandered all year round. In the past ten years, he has walked through all the cities around the Mediterranean, and then headed east, the farthest reaching India near the East-West Continental Bridge.

He personally observed all the cities along the way with his own eyes, trying to find evidence that "Alexander the Great" existed.

Compared with other scholars, his "social experience" is obviously richer.

The Styx priest agreed to their request, which was too smooth.

If this "Heath Brancher" is really as he said, a brothel owner who entered the Black Desert to prepare for the "ghost marriage ceremony", he and his employer may be familiar with each other.

But he is a stranger to this group of Styx priests.

For the sake of the employer, one or two scholars can mix into the team as attendants, but such a large group of people follow behind

When did the temple of the free people become such an easy-to-enter "tourist attraction"?

Based on Hu Kelu's many years of investigation experience, the ancestral halls and temples of foreign races cannot be easily entered unless a large amount of gold and silver is paid.

But now, they obviously can't turn back.

He secretly winked at Huo Sanye, who had the highest combat power around him, and Huo Sanye understood. Shortly after entering the temple, he wanted to leave because "a package was left in the Hashma Gang".

However, at this moment, the attack of the temple priests came without any reason.

Thick black smoke rose up, paralyzing the scholars in an instant. When they woke up again, they saw a ground full of blood.

Fire Master San died.

All the guards brought by Heath Brancher had been slaughtered.

The Styx priest, the Roman merchant and the East Land girl were all missing.

And they were also sealed with a curse and imprisoned in a cage.

"If I remember correctly, we came in through this door."

"But you need a key to open the door, and the key..."

Mergwen said halfway, Loki raised his axe and wedge it into the black iron door. The iron door was cut into a smooth crack like tofu.

After a few more axe cuts, a crack that people could pass through appeared in front of them.

Most of the scholars had not undergone any actual combat training, and it was completely unrealistic to want to turn them into reliable combat forces in a short period of time. All Loki could do was to keep everyone in a loose marching formation.

He and Hooker Raul, the most powerful fighter, led the way in the front. Hans Wales, the only English nobleman who had received sword training among the bachelors, walked at the end of the team with a broadsword in his hand.

After passing through the iron gate, several people appeared on a suspended straight stone bridge. There was a blazing fire under the stone bridge. In the thick smoke, several huge dark figures stepped on the flames and moved slowly like smoke.

"After entering the temple, we found that the space here was completely inconsistent with the laws of nature. It gave me the intuitive feeling that every time I passed a door, I would come to a new realm."

"Rather than saying that this is a temple, it is better to say that it is a different world connected by a large number of space portals! Every time you push open a door, you will enter a new mustard space."

"For example, the flame shadow under this stone bridge does not look like any landscape on this planet."

Loki looked down and saw a huge creature that walked slowly like smoke, and a strange plant that looked like a solidified fire stream.

As a human for two lifetimes, his brain has been explored by many science fiction films and TV shows, and he has an incomparable tolerance for all the extraordinary phenomena he sees.

In Nefertiti's consciousness, he saw the memories of the female pharaoh.

On the huge golden staircase stood dozens of foreign gods of different sizes and shapes, who obeyed the rule of the pharaoh like ordinary citizens.

In this case, it seems not surprising that the ancient Egyptians' construction technology has developed to a level that ordinary people cannot understand.

In his more than 20 years of life, Loki was able to find the "Water City Portal" forged by the Bloody Creator and the "Asgard Portal" forged by the Aesir in the remote Scandinavian Peninsula.

The history of ancient Egypt lasted for more than 5,000 years.

In such a long period of time, it was not a problem for the pharaoh to collect dozens or hundreds of portals. It is not an unimaginable feat to hide these portals in the temple as a channel for communication with the other world.

But even so, it is still difficult to avoid the decline of the dynasty.

This long stone bridge looks scary, but the huge creature that moves slowly like smoke under the stone bridge is not aggressive.

The few people passed the stone bridge safely.

At the end of the stone bridge, there is not an iron gate, but a stone gate with a simple shape.

Loki pulled out his axe and was about to smash the stone gate, but suddenly he felt a pricking sensation behind him.

Looking back, he saw the mist creatures that were originally wandering under the stone bridge floating in the air, opening several pairs of huge dark red eyes and looking at them.

He slowly put down the axe in his hand.

The prison cell where the scholars were imprisoned was connected to the room with the stone bridge. Any intelligent race would know the principle of "arranging guards outside the cell".

The group of strange outer gods under the stone bridge, as fluffy as smoke, were the guards of the prison.

Loki was sure that as long as he swung the axe to smash the stone door, this group of mist monsters that came from nowhere would immediately attack everyone.

The Viking warriors wielding axes were good at dealing with flesh and blood, but to kill such enemies with invisible and intangible smoke, they needed the Crusaders of the "Holy Bishop" Justice Path, or the Fire Warlocks of the "Possessed Path" of the Zoroastrianism.

The blood axe that cut the flesh and blood of mortals could cause very limited damage to them.

(If we start a battle right here, he has no way of defeating these smoke monsters.)

(But on the other hand, it is almost the same as committing suicide to continue to waste time here. Is there no guard on the door on the other side of the cage?)

(Definitely not!)

"Brothers, we must fight to the death!"

"After I smash the door, you will rush out with me!"

"Don't hesitate"

"Don't think"

"Don't look back!"

"Run as fast as possible. If a companion falls to the ground, don't try to rescue him. The most important thing is to save your own life!"

"Remember?"

The maesters looked at each other, but finally nodded secretly. There was no time for Loki to delay. He raised his axe and chopped hard at the stone door.

The crisp sound of rock breaking rang out, and several people stepped on the gravel and rushed into the next secret room.
