Chapter 77: Underground Temple
"Púréa!"
The obscure spell echoed in the night sky.
The area in the square where rats are most densely populated.
A large amount of sticky black grease suddenly appeared on the ground.
The rats were stuck in the grease and would fall down after taking two steps, their bodies covered with grease.
The boy named Andy had red hair fluttering in the wind like a ball of fire.
Early stage of level 2, Fire Elemental Warlock.
Before Ingres came along, he was once considered the most likely candidate to marry into the Randolph family and marry Pamela.
Even Andy himself thinks so.
Now things have changed.
Pamela had no choice about her husband.
However, the elders of the family and she herself did not mind her keeping a few male lovers in addition to her official spouse.
Just like her aunts and uncles.
Having a harem surrounded by handsome men is quite a pleasure.
Andy needs to prove that he is at least worthy of being a backup.
This team mission is a good opportunity to perform hard.
After casting 2 rounds of "Fuel Spell" on the rats.
Andy stretched his hands forward, fingers fanning out.
The blazing magic power surged in his palm.
"Urúr!"
Spit out a spell that symbolizes "burning heat".
Andy's ten fingers all sprayed flames at the same time!
Ten slender pillars of fire, each five meters long, formed a conical fan-shaped shape and swept forward.
The grease all over the ground was ignited and instantly turned into a sea of fire.
Many giant rats were trapped in the sea of fire.
The flames jumped onto his body, igniting the grease and burning him mercilessly.
The dying giant rat transformed back into human form.
Rolling in the fire, wailing in despair.
…
"Carir!"
The third member of the investigation team, Duke, cast a first-level "Ice Creation" spell on a group of ratmen.
Beneath their feet, the flat ground created a smooth surface of ice.
The rat man was concentrating on shooting with his crossbow and didn't notice the changes on the ground.
Suddenly they found their feet slipping and fell onto the ice one after another.
Duke sneered, drew his sword, and started his atavism transformation!
Two months ago, he successfully broke through the bottleneck and was promoted to the first-level "White Dragon Warlock".
Awakened the "Ice Making Technique" and the 1st level "Atavism".
Pale dragon scales slowly attached to Duke's body.
His hands also turned into a pair of ferocious and sharp dragon claws.
Duke, half dragon, half man, strode onto the ice.
In his atavistic form, he can walk freely on the smooth ice, as if he had suction cups on the soles of his feet.
The rat man fell on the ice and just as he was trying to get up, he was strangled by the pale dragon claws.
Phew!
The sharp claws pierced the throat and blood gushed out.
Duke extended his long, forked tongue and licked the hot blood from his hand.
A pair of cold vertical pupils flashed with cruel and bloodthirsty light.
…
Angel stood with Allen.
Just like when we were on the boat.
"Alcar!"
A handsome young man with a sickly face, dressed in a black robe, chanted a spell softly.
Angel raised his hand and pointed at the rats.
Red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
Brilliant rainbow light burst , forming a cone-shaped wave surface that pushed forward.
Under the cover of the "Colorful Jet", the giant rats fell to the ground and became unconscious one after another.
A very small number of particularly strong people managed not to faint, but they were also shocked and temporarily blinded.
How strong is the mental power of the genius boy Angel?
On the way to the Magic Stone Island by boat, Alan, out of curiosity, used the Taotie system to deduce Angel's attributes.
The calculated result left him speechless.
Attributes: 8 physique, 16 agility, 28 spirit
For a newly promoted Level 1 Warlock, this mental attribute... isn't it a bit outrageous?
It's not just outrageous, it's way off the mark!!
Alan merged the blood of the poisonous demon, ate a lot of special ingredients, and took supplements like crazy, but now he only has 21 points of spiritual attributes.
21 points of mental attributes are actually very good for a level 1 warlock.
The question is who you are comparing yourself with.
This little monster, Angel, is really too amazing!
The higher the warlock's spiritual attribute, the stronger the lethality and control of the spell.
The first-level spell "Colorful Jet" is a typical control magic.
The group of giant rats on the opposite side have been hit by Angel's spell, so they can forget about relying on their own willpower to resist the mental control.
Wait for death!
While the rats were frightened by Angel's spell.
Alan pulled out a vial of acid.
Use it as a spell material to cast "Water Control" on the rats.
Rain mode!
The acid in the bottle evaporated quietly.
At the same time, a patter of acid rain fell from the night sky, all falling on the rats.
It was like taking a sulfuric acid bath.
In a blink of an eye, the rats were corroded into a bloody mess.
There was a hissing sound all over, and sour white smoke came out.
They collapsed in the acid and died one after another.
A dying giant rat finally shook off the shock and struggled to crawl out of the acid-filled area.
His body was covered in blood, and a scarlet trail was left behind him.
Angel slowly raised his right hand.
Five balls of purple light appeared from the pale and slender fingertips.
1st ring "Magic Missile" is about to be released.
Alan raised his hand to stop him.
"It's not worth wasting magic on a dying mouse."
Angel was slightly startled.
He has too much magic power and can't use it all, so he doesn't know what "waste" means.
Alan's next words successfully persuaded him to give up casting the spell.
"Keep it for now, I can use it."
"Okay." Angel nodded, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll go help other teammates deal with the cultists."
Watch as Angel turns and walks towards Duke.
Alan followed the system's prompts and walked up to the dying giant rat.
Take out two syringes and reagent bottles to collect saliva and plasma.
Didi——
"Contacted with 'Bubonic Plague' germs (Level 3 infectious disease)!"
"Contacted with 'Pneumonic Plague' bacteria (Level 3 infectious disease)!"
"Warning! Exposure to the 'Beastiality (Rat)' virus (Level 5 infectious disease)!"
Allen's virus resistance is level 4.
Completely immune to all forms of plague.
But...beastiality is actually a level 5 virus!
Even he didn't dare to take it lightly.
He put away the virus reagent bottle, activated the magic power in his palm, completely crushed the syringe contaminated with the beast virus, and threw it into the fire .
From now on, Alan can synthesize "plague" bacteria and "beastiality" virus through his own venom glands.
Especially the "beastiality" virus, which greatly increased his poison resistance bar.
Just a little bit more and the virus resistance can be upgraded to level 5.
At this time, he received a system prompt again.
"Detected the scent of special ingredients!"
Alan smiled.
Magic Stone Island is truly a Feng Shui treasure land!
…
The outcome of the battle in the square has been decided.
Seeing his men falling one after another, the cult leader could no longer hold back.
He shouted at the other cultists to hurry up and deliver the goods.
Grease your feet and run away!
He ran to the dock warehouse and opened the door to go in.
The warehouse was filled with crates and smelled musty.
Near the corner, there is a very hidden iron door.
The cult leader ran to the iron gate and took out the key.
Crunch——
The iron gate was open.
Inside the door is a staircase leading underground.
The cult leader left the door ajar and walked quickly down the stairs.
At the end of the stairs, there is a secret underground room.
The sacred vessel of the Beast Cult is enshrined in a secret room.
The sacred vessel is a statue placed in a niche.
The one-foot-tall statue seems to be made of some kind of bone.
Over time, it has taken on a yellowed ivory color.
He has a human body and a rat head, sitting cross-legged.
The shape looks a bit weird.
The cult leader carefully took out the statue from the niche.
Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me!
The cult leader looked back in shock.
I saw a tall and strong young man, with his shoulders crossed, blocking the door of the secret room.
"Little bastard! Get out of my way!"
The cult leader held the statue tightly in his left hand and brandished a dagger in his right hand.
He tried to scare away the teenager who was blocking the door and ran away.
Alan sneered and strode forward.
“I’ll kill you!!”
The cult leader's eyes were red and he stabbed Alan in the heart with a knife!
Hound pace!
Easily dodge the dagger.
Alan hit the cult leader in the chest with an "explosive palm", causing his sternum to collapse and send him flying backwards.
Bang!
Like a painting, flat on the wall, slowly sliding down.
He vomited blood and his pupils dilated.
Alan stepped forward and picked up the bone-carved idol.
He followed the system prompts and tracked all the way here.
I discovered this underground temple by accident.
This strange statue is a special food ingredient.
but……
It’s not just exotic ingredients.
Alan is not a beast worshiper.
I don't understand the religious significance of this statue.
However, when he touched the statue, he felt his heart beating faster for unknown reasons.
The blood in my body seemed to be boiling.
When the ogre bloodline first awakened, I had a similar feeling...
Could it be that... ?
Alan opened the system page to check the changes in his own blood.
As expected.
The very thin beastman blood in his body was subtly resonating with the statue worshipped by the Beast Cultivation.
