Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 551 - 422: Chen Xiran on the Cross (Part 2)
Clearly, their power was at most ninth level in perception, so how could they launch such a powerful attack?
Stick with the old method, mental attack.
However, this time, Lu Lin didn’t use the Spiritual Hammer but switched to the mental crossbow.
Having been targeted just now, now it was Lu Lin’s turn to strike back and shoot with the crossbow.
"Swish, swish, swish."
The sound of arrows slicing through space rang out.
Arrows from the crossbow drained the spiritual strength of one monster after another.
Thud.
Thud.
The monsters fell to the ground one after another.
At this time, Lu Lin remained cautiously vigilant while collecting all the monsters’ corpses into his Storage Ring.
These things were of unknown origin; taking them back for research was certainly a good idea.
No more arrows were fired.
After waiting for about ten or so seconds, Lu Lin finally relaxed.
It was then that he could take a good look at the layout of the hall.
The fallen Armored Warriors were scattered on the ground with arrows, the monsters had disappeared, and various neatly arranged wooden double-door cabinets or drawer cabinets with complex, undecipherable engravings on them.
Additionally, there were huge flowerpots half as tall as a person with plants long withered inside.
In the very center of the hall, there was a pure gold coffin.
Despite countless arrows shot earlier, not a single one was near the coffin.
Similarly, all the monsters that passed by the coffin chose to go around it.
This coffin must be strange.
The coffin was wide and heavy, about 2.5 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and about 70 centimeters high.
Even in the dim light of the hall, Lu Lin could see it was undoubtedly made of pure gold.
Could this be the owner of the entire pyramid?
Wasn’t it said that the pyramids of the Magnesium Continent were for worshiping gods, not as burial sites for tribal chiefs?
Why was there a coffin of a noble person here?
Lu Lin, being bold with his vast skills, walked up to the coffin and saw a section of text unknown to him but understandable in meaning.
"I, High Priest Kla Kmiel of the Ma She tribe, hereby dedicate my soul and body to eternally guard my God."
"May the divine path be everlasting."
Lu Lin read the text on the coffin aloud, then realized the identity of the coffin’s owner and the purpose of its presence here.
Indeed, this pyramid was no tomb but a temple.
A temple where one offers oneself as a sacrifice.
Lu Lin had little interest in this coffin, but he decided to take it first anyway.
He’d look up when the Ma She tribe existed after he got out.
Not only the coffin, but also everything that could be taken from this hall, Lu Lin collected into his Storage Ring.
Yes, a specially designed large space ring for "souvenirs," now just filled to one fortieth, with plenty of space left.
Next, it was time for Lu Lin to make a choice.
Besides the door he had just pushed open, there were two more doors in the hall.
One was a golden door similar to the one through which he had entered.
The other was an ancient wooden door.
The Guiding Star Skill appeared with two arrows for the first time, pointing to both exits.
Lu Lin was slightly surprised in his heart but still made his choice.
The ancient wooden door.
He speculated that such a grand Sacrificial Temple might have more than just Kla Kmiel as a priest eager to offer himself as a tribute to the gods.
For now, Lu Lin’s main objective was to find Chen Xiran, with no time to play exploration games here.
Glancing back at the now-empty hall where Kla Kmiel had been, Lu Lin pushed open the wooden door.
Behind the door lay a new world.
Underfoot was a straight suspended staircase.
The staircase led upward to a platform about 100-square-meters in size at its end.
The platform was also suspended in the air.
Flames flickered on the platform, and there was a massive black wooden cross.
A woman was nakedly bound upon the cross.
"Chen Xiran."
Lu Lin immediately saw that the woman bound on the cross was his team member, Chen Xiran.
At the moment, Chen Xiran’s eyes were tightly shut, and her body was trembling slightly.
She seemed to be experiencing a horrific nightmare.
Her eyelids and body trembled, yet she showed no sign of waking.
Next to Chen Xiran.
Lu Lin saw four people in white Crescent Moon Robe priest costumes busy with something on the platform.
Soon after, a priest looked up at Chen Xiran on the cross and took out a pen, sketching something on her body.
The figure on the platform seemed either unaware of Lu Lin’s presence or simply indifferent to him.
In this vast space, besides the suspended staircase under Lu Lin, there were at least twenty crisscrossing suspended staircases.
Lu Lin couldn’t help but feel slightly thankful that his choice was indeed correct.
If he had chosen to push the Golden Door, he might have entered other priests’ halls, wasting time even if not encountering much danger.
Lu Lin ascended the stairs.
Yet, as soon as he took the first step, the scene before him changed again.
On a lush green meadow, a spotted deer was grazing.
A breeze came from nowhere, and the view was quite pleasant.
However...
These were all illusions.
Lu Lin showed a slight, cold smile, then unleashed his spiritual strength to completely shatter the illusion before him.
The meadow vanished, transforming into a black, filthy land.
The spotted deer no longer appeared beautiful, its skin ulcerated with horrifying holes through which Lu Lin could see the rotting, stinking internal organs.
The deer seemed to be irate at Lu Lin’s action, angrily pounding its hooves on the ground, charging toward Lu Lin.
Its towering, sharp antlers aimed at Lu Lin.
As it approached, the decayed deer’s figure grew larger.
When it reached Lu Lin, one of its hooves was significantly larger than Lu Lin.
The deer targeted Lu Lin, furiously stamping its hoof downwards.
Like a mountain falling.
Lu Lin remained unfazed.
His spiritual strength erupted at this moment, transforming Lu Lin into a giant as high as the sky.
This scene would have certainly been regarded as a divine manifestation in ancient times.
The enormous decaying deer that seemed so huge was now like a tiny ant before Lu Lin’s spiritual form. This time, it was Lu Lin’s turn to step down.
"Boom."
A loud explosion.
The deer vanished from sight.
Lu Lin’s view shifted and he was back on the suspended staircase.
"Intruder, advancing..."
A calm female voice echoed, yet it sounded like a spoon scraping glass, sharp and grating to Lu Lin’s ears.
Lu Lin did not know if it was a sound a human could make, and instinctively used spiritual force to shield his ears.
He continued forward, and after taking another step, his vision blurred again.
This time it was the same scene as before.
On a serene, peaceful meadow, a beautiful spotted deer was grazing on grass.
The breeze blew softly, evoking comfort.
However...
Again, it was an illusion.
Lu Lin let out a cold snort, releasing his spiritual strength to effortlessly slay the deer and break the illusion.
