Chapter 90: Ancient Temple in the Mountain
After deciding to climb forward, Xia Yu first fixed one end of the rope to himself, and then fixed the other end to Laura.
This is a simple rock climbing insurance method, which is equivalent to sharing the risk. If one of the two people falls accidentally, the rope on their body can be used to prevent the fall, and the other person can pull the other person up.
Of course, this method also has risks. If something unexpected happens, both of them will die at the same time and go to see the King of Hell together.
However, neither Xia Yu nor Laura would fail here. Xia Yu is naturally strong, and Laura has amazing arm strength. Coupled with the increase in magic power, she is not afraid of this steep cliff at all.
After everything was ready, the two of them took their climbing picks, grabbed the steep cliffs, and started climbing with their bare hands.
Rock climbing is both a technical and physical job. Not only do you have to pay attention to the cracks on the cliff, but you also have to ensure your physical strength at all times. If you let your hands go by mistake, you will fall helplessly.
However, both of them seemed very relaxed, and their speed did not slow down even though they had already climbed halfway.
The Solari members around them had already been sniped and killed by them, so they were not afraid of being discovered.
After a long time, a hand grabbed the bulge on the top of the cliff, and then the owner of the hand exerted force, and a figure rolled and climbed up.
"Although I cheated, this is the first time I've ever rock climbed in my two lives." After climbing up the cliff, Xia Yu lay on the ground, looking at the sky and muttering to himself.
His heart almost jumped out of his chest when he was climbing just now. Even though he knew that nothing would happen to him, it felt like he was standing on a transparent glass bridge looking down into the canyon. He knew that nothing would happen, but he still couldn't stop being afraid.
After lying down for a few seconds, Xia Yu turned over and sat up, grabbed the rope and helped Laura climb up.
Laura, who had climbed up, collapsed to the ground gasping for breath. Although she had learned rock climbing, this was her first time climbing without any protection.
Seeing this, Xia Yu simply lay down as well. The two of them just looked at the sky quietly, feeling their hearts beating non-stop due to nervousness.
"Just now I felt like my heart was going to jump out, but I didn't expect I could actually do it." Laura suddenly said.
Hearing this, Xia Yu also smiled and said, "Me too, is this considered an unforgettable memory between us?"
"I feel like everything that has happened since I came to this island is enough to be engraved in my mind." Laura said faintly, "But it's not bad to have you in my memories. I will remember it in my heart."
"We are an old married couple, and it's really embarrassing to still say such embarrassing words." Xia Yu twisted his body artificially, moving back and forth like a maggot.
"...We're not married yet." Laura said helplessly.
"Why? You don't want to?"
"No, I'm easy to marry, but it's a bit early to get married now. I have to wait at least a few years."
"Why should we get married sooner? How about we go back and get married after this is over?"
Xia Yu set up the flag without caring. Laura thought about it carefully and refused: "Forget it, I don't want to get married so early."
Hearing this answer, Xia Yu uttered a low voice, while Laura smiled helplessly and explained: "Sorry, I want to clear the name of my deceased father first. He died unjustly, and this matter has always been like a thorn in my heart."
"After we have resolved Dad's issue, we will get married then."
"Well, I'll wait for you."
After a brief exchange, the surroundings became quiet again.
However, Xia Yu was already thinking about whether he could use necromancy to resurrect Laura's parents, but after thinking about it, he was disappointed to find that it was not true.
There is indeed a spell to resurrect the dead in necromancy, but that is not resurrection. It only forces the body to be resurrected, and cannot be considered a true resurrection.
What's more, the resurrected undead will be controlled by the caster, which is even worse. How can a son-in-law resurrect and control his own father-in-law? That's too hellish.
But Xia Yu believes that sooner or later, they will be able to figure out the spell of resurrection. Even if not, as the number of people in the chat group increases, there will definitely be a Xia Yu who can resurrect others joining the group.
By then, we will resurrect Laura's parents, but now, let's not tell Laura yet. We will give her a surprise when the time comes, but I don't know whether it will be more of a surprise or a joy.
…
After resting for a while, the two got up from the ground. There was an entrance leading to the mountain in front of the top of the cliff. Without hesitation, the two walked straight in.
There are towering cliffs all around, and the only way to move forward is to take that road.
Along the way there were statues of Himiko and various dilapidated walls. About an hour later, a cave appeared in front of them.
The inside of the cave was slightly damp, but there was no water accumulation. The two men turned left and right in the cave for half an hour before they found the exit.
Looking at the intact ruins at the exit, Laura exclaimed: "These ruins are even older than the ancient tomb age."
The Kofun period is a historical period in ancient Japan, also known as the Yamato period, so named because the rulers of the time built a large number of "kofun".
"Of course. The Kofun period was the successor to the Yayoi period and the precursor to the Asuka period. Himiko's time was during the Yayoi period, so it would naturally be earlier than the Kofun period."
While answering, Xia Yu looked around. When he didn't find anything valuable, he sighed with regret.
Then the two of them walked to the exit of the cave, which was the new entrance.
A huge statue of Himiko was carved on the wall at the entrance, and a broad pilgrimage road appeared before the two.
At the end of the pilgrimage route is a huge temple. At the door of the temple stand many Bodhisattva statues of various shapes. Of course, standing in the center is still the statue of Himiko herself.
"Himiko is so narcissistic. It seems like her statue can be seen everywhere." Looking at the huge statue at the door, Xia Yu pouted and complained.
"This is also a way to stabilize the rule. Rulers in the old days liked to do this." Laura explained casually, "Whether in the East or the West, there is a saying that the king's power is granted by God."
As they spoke, the two of them set out on their pilgrimage.
They had only taken a few steps when Xia Yu suddenly pulled Laura and hid behind a rock.
"Hush, look."
Xia Yu gestured to Laura to look at the end of the temple, where Solari members who came to patrol suddenly appeared. Laura looked at Xia Yu with some confusion. Such a small number of people were killed by a few shots, so why were they hiding?
But Xia Yu just shook his head and signaled to wait a little longer.
The group of Solari members who suddenly appeared were patrolling and chatting idly, but the next moment, they all panicked and let out extremely terrified screams .
A group of "ghosts" wearing ancient armor suddenly appeared. Holding huge maces and samurai swords, they attacked the group of living people without hesitation.
Although the Solari members had bows and guns for self-defense, facing the immortal "ghosts", they could only wait to be killed, stabbed to death or smashed to death.
In just a moment, the group of Solari members who appeared lost their lives, and the "ghosts" that appeared were dragging the bodies of these dead people and were about to leave.
After watching the whole process, Laura didn't even dare to breathe loudly, for fear of attracting attention, but the next moment, Xia Yu suddenly jumped up!
"Sun thief, your grandfather is here!"
Xia Yu shouted loudly, attracting the attention of all the storm warriors, but he did not turn around and run away. Instead, he rushed forward with a grim smile on his face, and green mist appeared from his hands at the same time, like evil energy.
Although this green mist is very similar to evil energy, they are actually two different things. The green mist is just a precursor to the use of necromancy.
In Soul Knight, the Necromancer's attack is green flames. Not only that, all of the Necromancer's skills are mainly green, which becomes a precursor to the use of necromancy in reality.
With green mist burning in his hands, Xia Yu leaped up and pounced on the storm warrior closest to him.
The Storm Warrior had just raised the knife in his hand when Xia Yu slapped him in the face, giving it a healthy and natural color of forgiveness.
The next moment, the Storm Warrior who was dyed with Xia Yu's color began to tremble all over, and the red light in his eyes flashed again and again, and finally turned into a bright green.
The storm warrior controlled by Xia Yu turned around and slashed at his companion, but the other storm warrior didn't seem to react.
Only after being hit did he step back several steps in a daze, with red light flashing in his eyes, as if he was wailing: Why have you become like this? We were companions fighting together before. Have you forgotten the bond we once had? Wake up, bastard!
But the next moment, Xia Yu also slapped him in the face with a big punch, and the color of health instantly filled his eyes.
