Chapter 522 The battle, the shining tri-octahedron!
Xia Ren looked around, mostly sitting quietly in his seat, not seeing any abnormalities.
Some people who had just arrived and had no seat simply stood in the aisle in the middle of their seats, silent, as if they were waiting for something.
I can't tell who is the apostle at all.
But Niu Changshou will not be aimless, so some guys with ulterior motives must have been involved among these people.
"The painting has been obtained, so why don't we leave early..."
Before Niu Chang's birthday was finished, the boy carefully carried out the next item on the booth in front.
It was a box with a strangely asymmetric shape, with ancient and obscure patterns engraved on it, which seemed to be a simple drawing of some kind of cult sacrifice.
In the center of the box, there is a strange crystal filled with dust. It is a polyhedral with red stripes on the surface and a large number of irregular planes. The crystal does not have any contact with the box. It should be lifted by something, and it looks like it is suspended in the box.
Looking at the crystal, Xia Ren suddenly felt familiar.
It was in Dallas, and the despair and fear that he felt when he showed the tip of the iceberg of the entire universe before him.
Niu Changshou widened his eyes and clenched his fists, as if extremely shocked.
He suddenly understood why so many people participated in the auction today, and there were even a large number of apostles.
Lily suddenly opened her eyes, grabbed Qin Yun's sleeves with both hands, and her big eyes looked at the booth below incredible.
The host coughed twice and introduced word by word:
"What is to be auctioned below is the legendary artifact: the shining folk remedy, Trioctahedral..."
The atmosphere in the venue changed quietly when the auction item was on display.
It is like the physical evil thoughts and malice that are emitted, flowing in the air, like a cold poisonous snake crawling through every person's body.
A nervous and crazy aura spread out, and under the black robe, countless people were preparing to act.
"Xia Ren!"
Niu Changshou suddenly stood up and said, "Run!"
However, it was too late.
The harsh sound of flute suddenly played the melody of the abyss, and endless evil thoughts instantly poured into people's minds.
The moment a person with insufficient strength hears the sound of the flute, his reason is destroyed and he falls into eternal madness.
"Woo!!!"
The lights flashed, and the limbs under the black robe were bloated and swollen. In the blink of an eye, they twisted into a terrifying monster, making crazy howls.
Those guests who lucky enough to resist the sound of the flute could not escape the bad luck. Their souls were still fighting the terrifying nightmare and had no time to take into account the reality. Their body was crushed into meat sauce by their companions who turned into demons next to them.
But in just one second, the order in the venue was certainly gone. A large number of twisted terrifying monsters vented their madness and destroyed everything around them that could be destroyed. Screams and fierce howls mixed together, seats and flesh flying, blood and foul-smelling spilled around.
The monsters either ran aimlessly or pounded the ground and walls desperately, and the entire venue was trembling, like a hellish scene.
For some reason, the sound of the flute deliberately bypassed Xia Ren and the others, preventing the few from being eroded by evil thoughts.
Niu Changshou turned his head and saw a thin figure crouching there in the corner of the venue, continuously playing the bone flute in his hand.
"That's the Ocarina of Curse!"
At the end of the evil flute engraved with some unknown bones, a familiar diamond-shaped metal piece hung.
No wonder!
No wonder so many apostles gathered here, no wonder the sound of the flutes bypassed everyone.
The initiator of today's chaos was the Silver Twilight Secret Cult, who regarded Xia Ren as his companion!
Then, their purpose...
Niu Changshou's vision was bypassing the venue and damaging monsters. When he saw the shining folk remedy, the 308-hours were still placed safely on the booth, and no one went to compete for it at the first time.
The host and the boy are gone, probably because they retreated behind the scenes at the beginning of the chaos, or have become members of the monster.
He knew that the auction was under the control of the Wizards' Union, and they gathered so many apostles, what exactly was going to deal with it?
When Niu Changshou and Xia Ren briefly explained the situation, a monster had noticed them. It was squirming quickly, and its limbs covered with yellow pus hit it.
"Lily, protect them!"
Xia Ren asked Lily to ensure the safety of Qin Yun and Lu Yi, then took out a crowbar and cut off the smashed limbs. The monster suddenly started to wail in pain.
He took advantage of the victory and chased the monster, and the crowbar penetrated hard into the monster's body. The opponent's body quickly shriveled and soon disappeared.
Although the monsters in the venue are huge and terrifying, they are not actually strong.
They are just tools to cause chaos, and the show has not yet begun.
The guests participating in the auction were not all weak. Some wizards had already reacted and began to clear away the enemies around them.
The magic light exploded in the venue, and a dazzling lightning flashed out of nowhere and slashed on the monster. The latter's body instantly collapsed, and the electric current visible to the naked eye spread along the ground and ceiling to the entire venue. All the monsters' movements had a brief stagnation.
Xia Ren himself was also affected by the electric current and felt his whole body numb for a moment, but it did not cause any substantial damage.
Huge noises continued to sound, the surrounding walls had broken, and a large number of monsters were still continuing to destroy.
Xia Ren held a crowbar and killed the monsters around him. Niu Changshou and Lili and the others were about to leave the venue, but found that the gate had disappeared and the entire venue had become an enclosed space with no entrances and exits for access.
"We can't run away."
Niu Changshou frowned and was a little worried.
What exactly does that kid Nolan want to do? Why didn’t he tell himself in advance last night?
"Since you can't run away, then fight!"
Xia Ren shook the remaining physical tissue on the crowbar, his eyes full of fighting spirit.
After the death battle with the priest in Dallas City, he is now completely unafraid of fighting.
Moreover, the Wizards Alliance will not sit idly by. With his strength and Lily, even if he doesn't use tentacles, it should be no problem to protect himself.
Xia Ren looked around, and in the corner, the curse flute was still playing. The wizards had gathered at the booth to guard the folk remedy, and not be fought over by the apostles hiding in the dark.
Driven by the apostle, the monsters began to attack the wizard's side. One of the wizards stood up and chanted something. Then his body quickly expanded, tearing his clothes and turned into a red giant four or five meters high. With one palm, he slapped all the monsters huddled in front of him to death.
"What is that?"
Xia Ren originally thought that the wizard also turned into a monster, but now it seems that it is not at all.
Niu Changshou subconsciously replied: "That is a master of flesh and blood, a kind of magic that can arbitrarily change the body shape of a wizard or other person, and it is completely different from distortion."
After saying that, he realized that Xia Ren was staring at him, and the meaning was very obvious. How did you know so much?
It would be fine if you just know Arkham, but Niu Changshou himself said that magic is a very complex thing, and it is also obtained from the interpreted ancient manuscripts, which also represents the secret of magic. Except for wizards, it is difficult for others to know through channels.
Even senior investigator Yi Zhiyu only knew some magic specific to alien races, such as the Coucho people's spiritual body razor and the Veri Seal, which had long been recorded in the archives.
He is a plague scholar from the foundation. Normally, he has nothing to do with magic and should not know about this.
Niu Changshou paused and said, "I will tell you when this matter is over."
"good."
Xia Ren nodded.
On the other side, with the giant blocking in front, almost no monsters could break through. Both sides were waiting, and seemed unwilling to show their strength easily.
Just as the scene was in a brief stalemate, an apostle in black robe stood up, opened his mouth and spit out a ball of poisonous gas visible to the naked eye.
The poisonous gas emits an unimaginable stench, and the overall gray-green one is moving very fast. Wherever it passes, the monsters are melted, the wooden chairs turn into black charcoal, the floor is corroded into a terrifying deep groove, and the concrete becomes like lava, toxic steam rises.
"It turned out to be the breath of corpse rot."
Niu Changshou looked solemn.
He looked at Xia Ren's puzzled gaze and explained: "This is also a kind of magic, but the Wizards Alliance has not yet fully interpreted it, so he didn't expect that they would master it first."
"The Secret Cult can also be magic?"
Xia Ren was quite surprised.
Niu Changshou reminded: "Don't forget that the Silver Twilight Secretariat Order also has a name called Silver Twilight Alchemist Association!"
The red giant retreated repeatedly, trying to dodge the poisonous cloud, but his arms were still stained. But in an instant, the huge arm melted into dry bones, and the giant's body quickly shrank, turning back to the original appearance of the wizard, making a shrill scream.
The sound of the spell echoed, and the barrier emitting a glimmer of light stood in front of the wizards, blocking the poisonous clouds.
A figure wizard walked out from behind, untied his black robes, revealing his black mourning clothes.
Xia Ren recognized the other person at a glance.
Nolan looked at them calmly and shook his head, "Sure enough, once he was involved in faith, even the smartest person would become dull."
The sound of the flute stopped abruptly, and the thin figure in the corner of the venue made a sinister laugh: "Yellow-haired boy, although I don't know what you have to rely on, the fifteen apostles are enough to turn Arkham into ruins. Even if your great magician Sinny Grant comes over, he will have to end up waiting to kill!"
No wonder they were not in a hurry to grab the folk remedy of the 38thahedral, it turned out that it was derived from their confidence in strength.
Fifteen apostles... can indeed support this confidence.
"Oh? Is it?"
Nolan hit his palms together, making a crisp echo.
The ground, walls, and even ceiling of the venue instantly appeared densely packed with bright silver runes.
The thin figure didn't care and sneered: "Even if it's a powerful formation, do you want to stop us?"
Nolan seemed helpless and said, "That's why I said you're not good at using your brain."
His hands formed seals, and his eyes suddenly became as sharp as a blade:
"The scarlet ceremony begins!"
The bright silver runes suddenly turned into blood-red, revealing their true fangs.
Chapter completed!
