Chapter 322: Devil (Part 2)

The road leading to the depths of the tomb is not easy, and the road is buried with sharp stones as sharp as knives. Baku can't use Yuanli, and can only move forward like ordinary people. This is the rule left by the ancestors. If you can't do it, you are not qualified to take out the blood of the devil.

Gritting his teeth, Baku walked forward step by step with bloody footprints. The excruciating pain from his feet made his eyes bloodshot. This pain awakened his memory, and everything seemed to return to that night two years ago.

That night was also stained red with blood. When his wife and son died in front of his eyes, Baku was in more pain than now. That kind of spiritual pain is completely beyond. At that time, the seed of revenge was quietly planted, and after two years of cultivation, it finally germinated and blossomed. Baku swore that he would return this pain a hundredfold to the people of Sur City.

Outside the cave, a leader said worriedly: "Maybe we shouldn't let Baku in."

King Kong shook his head and said: "It's useless, I can see Baku's eyes very clearly. Even if we don't allow him, he will try his best to get in. Moreover, this is not a bad thing. Baku is willing to become a devil, As long as he destroys the city of Sur, we don't have to worry about those outsiders anymore."

"Is that really the case? I'm only worried that it will lead to a bigger disaster."

King Kong's heart sank, but he didn't say anything. He looked into the cave and remained silent.

Baku does not know how long, maybe a day? Perhaps a century? After the pain becomes numb, time loses its meaning. He just walked forward mechanically, leaving a series of bloodstains behind him. He felt that his body became very heavy because too much blood flowed from his feet. If a normal person would have passed out, Baku still clenched his teeth and continued walking with the support of the fire of vengeance.

Finally, he reached the end. At the end is a hall, an underground hall supported by natural stone pillars. Around the hall, flames continued to erupt from the corners, and the air here was filled with the smell of sulfur. Baku vaguely remembered that there seemed to be many craters in the Aspen Mountains thousands of years ago. It's just that the volcano has entered a dormant period and the mountain is covered by trees, so people forget this fact.

Baku smiled. He could feel slight vibrations from time to time under the ground. Maybe the ancestral cemetery of the Baimeng people was built on the crater. A circle of skulls was placed under the stone pillars in the hall, while the surrounding walls were filled with countless corpses. These bones are all embedded in the wall, and it is not known how they were put up at that time.

The bones in this cemetery are all warriors who sacrificed to seal the demons during their lifetime. Now, the heroic spirits of these warriors guard the underground hall, guarding the preserved demon blood.

In the center of the underground hall was a circular stone platform, on which a dusty iron box was enshrined quietly on the platform. Baku walked over and opened the box forcefully.

Inside the box are three transparent, strip-shaped objects. Inside them, the dark red blood slowly rolled as if it had its own will. If Alan was here, he would be very surprised, because the thing that kept the devil's blood turned out to be a test tube!

Baku picked up one of the test tubes. When the test tube was picked up, there seemed to be a corner of some kind of logo in the bottom of the box below. Baku thought for a moment, picked up another one, and the sign became more obvious. If you look carefully, it is not difficult to see that it seems to be a rose flower pattern.

A golden rose.

Of course, Baku doesn't care about that. He pulled out the cork of the test tube, and then poured it into his mouth. The devil's blood in the test tube was almost like a beast escaped from distress, turning into a blast of red electricity and shooting it into Baku's mouth. Baku drank two bottles of devil's blood in a row, and then looked at the test tube, which was surprisingly clean. It was so clean that not even a drop of blood was left.

When Baku was doubting whether the devil's blood was effective, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, and he couldn't help crying out. Then the temperature of the whole body rose sharply, and the muscles under the skin wriggled violently like thousands of insects. Baku felt his body was about to split open, and screamed in pain.

The cry passed through the cave and faintly reached King Kong's ears.

The leader of the Baimeng couldn't help but frowned.

"The devil actually refers to the blood of the devil."

Towards dusk, Caesar awoke after a long nap, much better than in the morning. Allen had already changed out of his dress and put on loose and comfortable casual clothes. According to the legend of the Baimon people, when their ancestors migrated to the Aspen Mountains from other places, they disturbed a demon in the mountains. In the end, the Baimon warriors subdued the demon, but Ji Kun, the bravest leader at that time, was bitten by the demon.

Soon after, Jikun's soul was tainted and he transformed into a demon. And his strength is more terrifying than the demon that bit him. After an earth-shattering battle, all the strong Baimeng people were killed or injured, only two of the more than ten leaders remained, and more than a thousand warriors died in battle, and Jikun was finally killed.

At that time, the remaining two heads were Maya and the Communist Party. Not long after, Maya also found herself tainted by Jikun. In order not to turn herself into a demon, the female headman chose to commit suicide. But she wants to save her blood before she dies, which is now the blood of the devil.

Zha Gong kept the devil's blood in the cemetery of the Baimeng people. In order to prevent the tribe from accidentally using the devil's blood, he made a lie. It is claimed that the demon that polluted Jikun did not die. As for the truth, only a few people know it and it has been passed down from generation to generation.

"Baku also learned about the devil's blood from me. After I recover from my injury, I must return to the Aspen Mountains to prevent him from using the devil's blood." Caesar sighed.

Allen frowned: "Since the devil's blood can contaminate you and turn you into a devil, why did Maya keep it?"

"About this issue, King Kong and I speculate privately that it may be to leave a chance for the Baimeng people to fight back." Caesar said: "Because when Sagong died that year, he once said so. Once the Baimeng people have a catastrophe , as long as someone voluntarily turns into a demon, he can go to the ancestral cemetery to take out the blood of the devil. Of course, this person needs to be approved by all the leaders of the same period before he can enter the cemetery."

"So that's what happened."

At this time, Father Miro brought the dinner. Allen got up and said, "Eat something, I won't bother you anymore."

He turned to leave.

Caesar stopped him: "Alan, if... If Baku chooses to transform into a demon, I would like to ask you. Probably only with your strength, I have a chance to kill him."

"I understand."

Allen pushed the door out, and Lucy leaned against the wall in the corridor outside. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Do you really believe that there are demons in this world, those beings in religious legends?"

"No, judging from Caesar's description, the so-called demon is more like some kind of genetic mutant, or a virus carrier. Like the headman Ji Kun, his symptoms are not like being infected by the so-called demon. Is it a virus? It’s just that the Baimeng people can’t explain this phenomenon, so they named it the devil, and because of the long history, after generations of ancestors, there are things like devils.”

"In that case, I seem to have seen gene mutations caused by viral infection." Lucy frowned.

Allen half-jokingly said: "Don't tell me, this is some kind of biological weapon from your Idahua star again?"

"Since the Erza can reach Pluto, God knows if the same spaceship has visited this planet in the past. It's really hard to say."

Allen felt a headache after hearing this.

On the third day of Edward's wedding, the sky looked strangely gloomy today. The sky in the direction of the Aspen Mountains can be described as a cloud of lead, as if the entire sky is about to collapse. As a result, the people of Sur today feel oppressed for no reason, as if the air pressure in the entire city has risen a little because of it.

Allen frowned at the strange weather. Compared with ordinary people, people like them who can drive the source force are more sensitive to changes in nature. Allen has been feeling a little irritable since the morning, as if something big is about to happen, but he has a lot of thoughts and can't figure out what went wrong.

As with people, so with animals. The ferocious hounds of the city defense team were lying in the kennel today in a state of desperation and refused to come out, which puzzled soldier Hader very much. Harder is responsible for raising these dogs and training them on weekdays. For him, even with his eyes closed, he can call out the name of every hound in the kennel.

"Zola, Kit... What's the matter with you? Are you sick?" Hade tried his best to bring out the two hounds that were usually his best friends from the kennel. The other hounds were not willing to leave the dog at all. Let go of one step, it seems that there is a disaster outside that is about to come.

The hound named Zola has a small horn missing in the left ear, which is very recognizable. It crouched under Harder's military boots and let out a few low growls weakly. Even when Hader took out his favorite barbecue/sausage, Zola just sniffed it twice, then shrugged his head and didn't like to move.

A strange atmosphere was permeating the barracks of the city defense team.

Today has been extremely long, but no matter how long it is, time will move forward meticulously. After the sun went down, one of the hounds barked first, and then all the dogs joined in the barking. Not only that, but the barking sound spread to the city, and people found that the cats and dogs became extremely manic. Rats scrambled up from the sewer, scurrying around like blind flies. Even the most docile horses kept crashing against the fence of the stables, and the whole city of Sur was filled with the sounds of various animals.

An unexplainable palpitation filled everyone's heart. People voluntarily stay at home and close doors and windows. In the temple of Sabis, candles were burning brightly, and an elderly priest was reciting hymns to the statue of the God of War. Suddenly, from a very far away place outside the temple, there was a faint but extremely shrill hiss.

The old priest suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

(Tomorrow is Qingming, I will go back to the countryside to worship my ancestors, please take a day off for everyone~)
