Chapter 315: Twisted Amalgamation of Spirits
Everyone felt a chill. Ye Cang stopped and said quietly, “There is a clothed skeleton sitting on a chair in front. Be careful.”
In the pitch black hall, only Ye Cang could see clearly.
“There’s must be some significance…” SpyingBlade said faintly.
Everyone walked over to the stone stage while remaining vigilant. Now Ye Cang could see the parts previously obstructed by pillars. There were bones all over the place. Little Ye Tian glanced at the skeletons, and was able to distinguish from the bones special characteristics. “They’re all woman…”
“Could they have been doing some evil group ceremony, and something went wrong?” Zhang ZhengXiong said. OldWangFromNextDoor made a knowing smile. Wu Na and FrozenCloud looked at the two with disdain. How did they even imagine that? Especially that vulgar bowl-cut.
“The feeling of starting an orgy but being interrupted. Hah~ too pitiful.” Ye Cang said seriously, and stroked his chin in thought with a regretful expression.
“So that’s how it as. That’s really too pitiful…” Lin Le also stroked his chin, imitating him.
The two of them made Wu Na, FrozenCloud, SpyingBlade, and Fang Ci all freeze up, mainly because the two had no vulgar intentions. It was as if they were really trying to uncover some mystery. Besides Wu Na, who understood them better, FrozenCloud and SpyingBlade simply sighed.
When they examined the skeleton, they discovered that they weren’t undead, just normal skeletons, some of which were elven. Little Ye Tian discovered that there was an ancient book below the stage. She grabbed it and carefully looked through it. It described a sort of ceremony that used virgin females as offerings to obtain eternal life, but the last few pages were illegible. They weren’t able to figure out which god it was offered to. She reached out and rubbed some of the dust off of the stage and sure enough, there was a magic circle drawn on it. She frowned. This wasn’t a ceremony of the nature goddess. Although she also accepted sacrifices, but it wouldn’t be as cruel as in the writings. Most of her sacrifices were animals. There were many sacrificial ceremonies which used virgin girls. Many demons, evil gods and such like this sort of ceremony, because they could obtain pure magic power and evil energy, but… it was equivalent to making a deal with the devil, it would never turn out well.
“Any clues?” Ye Cang came over from examining the bones.
“It’s an evil sacrifice. The goal was eternal life, but it was only temporary. It would require a virgin sacrifice periodically. The god is still unknown, it wasn’t mentioned, but it wouldn’t be Mallows, she should be a kind-heart neutral aligned god…” Little Ye Tian explained the clues she found.
“Then what exactly happened during the orgy?” Lin Le asked.
Helloooo, we’ve already said it’s a sacrifice, not an orgy. Thinking of Lele’s temperament, they figured a child’s words carried no harm, so they ignored it.
“I also don’t know…” Little Ye Tian shook her head.
“The filth hidden under the light, it’s a common occurrence…” Fang Ci didn’t have much interest in what happened.
Zhang ZhengXiong turned and frowned, “Did everyone feel that? The chill is becoming even stronger.”
“Yeah, everyone be ready. I feel like something is about to come out.” Ye Cang said, taking out his heavy longbow, and preparing an arrow. His eagle eyes scoured the area. Everyone took out their weapons.
They heard the sound of womens mournful wails, howls of grief, and weeping. Then, a scream echoed throughout the room, making everyone’s hair stand on end. Wu Na leaned against Ye Cang, slightly shivering.
The sounds became more and more distinct. Everyone looked to the source of the voice. There seemed to be something hazy there, appearing out of thin are. Ye Cang could see it clearly. Although it was a spirit, it also wasn’t. The twisted female face showed suffering, despair, and was screaming, howling. He tried identifying it.
Twisted Amalgamation of Spirits (Boss – Nightmare – Ghost – Rare): Although there are many reason for spirits to twist and fuse together, but it is something rarely seen. It’s not as simple as having many people die together. Many times, it is due to a coincidental resonance. This one was due to an imperfect sacrificial ceremony that wasn’t completed, taking form over a long period of time. It’s spirit residue is an extremely rare ingredient.
“Careful, it’s a ghost. Twisted Amalgamation of Spirits…” Ye Cang freed one hand and tapped on the drum at his waist, triggering Boosting Beat. Then he drew his bow and shot a normal arrow + fire arrow. The normal arrow did practically no damage, but the fire arrows damage was pretty good, like against the rest of the spirits. But this was a problem, “Physical attack are practically useless…”
Zhang ZhengXiong raised his heavy axe and charged over. He chopped, grabbing the attention of the twisted spirit.
