Chapter 929: The Circle in the Cage

The man looked skinny and had long limbs. He stood up straight and turned around.

And the moment he turned around, he suddenly appeared in front of the four people, and his pale face with a weird smile seemed to be close to them.

With a bang, the man suddenly disappeared, and was hit away by Yuan Qiyuan's stick.

Yuan Qiyuan pointed his stick forward and said, "You two, this guy is weird. We are responsible for restraining him, and you do your work."

Qin Qingque quickly lit several burning sticks and threw them in several directions. One of them landed accurately at the position where the man flew out, illuminating his twisted figure lying on the ground.

The blow just now was so powerful that it directly broke the man's ribs and spine. The whole person seemed to be bent over. Logically, his internal organs should have been smashed as well. However, what was strange was that a creaking sound was heard from his body, and the broken parts twisted back together. Not only that, the reshaped bones also supported his whole body again.

Finally he looked up, smiled and said, "It hurts a little."

Qin Qingque noticed that in the light and shadow of the burning stick, the shadow under the man's feet did not look like a person, but a twisted, expanding, and constantly shaking strange shadow.

She didn't know what this was, but she knew clearly that she shouldn't think of this man as a human being. He was most likely something from the opposite side.

Lan Shengu was standing in the back. At this moment, he saw patterns appearing and flashing on the man's cheeks and body. At that moment, they seemed to be connected with the secret pattern on the ground. He could not help but realize something and immediately said loudly:
"You two, this person's body should just be a container. He is carrying the power of some evil being. This person is invincible, and his power will only grow stronger. You two should first find a way to control them, and we will find a way to destroy his connection with the ritual!"

Yuan Qiyuan and Qin Qingque looked at each other and nodded. From their actions just now, they could tell that this person actually didn't know any fighting skills. It didn't matter even if they couldn't kill him in one blow. They just had to try to control him first.

The man looked towards him because of Lan Shengu's voice just now, and then his figure flashed and he quickly rushed towards him. Qin Qingque poked the spear horizontally at this time, and the figure who had just rushed up was pierced by her. The tip of the spear passed through his throat and came out from the back of his neck.

But the man showed a nonchalant smile on his face, reached out and grabbed the spear, as if trying to push himself out.

At this time, Yuan Qiyuan took a step forward, turned his body, swung the stick in his hand twice, and pulled it out with a whoosh, hitting the man right on the body. With a dull thud, he once again knocked him far away.

Director Lei and Lan Shengu quickly came to the other side. They were not affected by the battle in front of them at the moment. They left professional matters to professionals and they just needed to do their job well.

Lan Shen Gu looked at it for a while and said with certainty: "Double-covered mountain!"

Director Lei said: "Listen to the sound of the chimes."

Both of them nodded. Lan Shengu was talking about the drawing method for this ceremony.

These esoteric patterns are not only complicated, but the key nodes of the field power are actually constantly moving. What is even more difficult is that a new layer of pattern is covered on top, which results in two constantly moving nodes, and forms a whole with clever means. This is the "double-covered mountain grid" in the old religion.

What Director Lei was talking about was a way to break the spell, which is usually judged by sound and appearance color. Because once the node is enriched with field power, its color will be different from the surrounding ritual patterns, and an experienced person can see it at a glance.

However, due to lighting problems, they are unable to use this method, but they can use some special tools to find it through sound.

Lan Shengu seemed very confident about this. He said, "I'll do it," and immediately took out a small piece of metal from his pocket.

He held one end of the rope in one hand and let it hang naturally in the air. Then he tapped its surface lightly with his knuckles. The metal sheet suddenly vibrated and made a buzzing sound that instantly spread far away in the tunnel.

Both of them listened carefully, and as the sound was transmitted, the pattern of the secret instrument also appeared in their minds. Even the sound of fighting in front of them did not seem to disturb them.

After a while, they looked at the same place almost at the same time and stared at each other.

If both people come to the same conclusion, then it is almost certain that the current field node is there.

At this moment, the man had retreated deep into the tunnel under the continuous attacks of Yuan and Qin. The two men took advantage of this opportunity and quickly came to that position.

They need to act as soon as possible because the power of the field may move and they will have to look for it again.

Chief Lei said, "I'll handle the lower level."

Lan Shengu nodded and said, "I'll be in charge of the upper level."

The double mountain grid causes the nodes to be divided into two layers, upper and lower. Although they are now condensed into one place, they appear misaligned on the outside, so both need to be destroyed together to achieve the real effect.

Director Lei took out a special secret instrument, which looked like a broken and blunt knife. He squatted down and pointed one end of the broken blade at a pattern on the ground.

Lan Shengu took out a small hammer and chisel, and put the chisel on a certain pattern on the wall. At the same time, he raised the small hammer and aimed it at the end of the chisel. The two of them took a breath and exerted force almost at the same time! With a bang, the two of them were only aiming at a small part, but at this moment, something seemed to explode in the air, and a strong airflow appeared in the tunnel, pushing the two of them back a few steps.

At the other end of the tunnel, the man had just been beaten and stabbed continuously, but no matter how badly he was injured, even if his body was smashed, he could still stand up intact the next moment.

This made Yuan and Qin feel surprised and helpless. Fortunately, although they could not kill this man, they could still control him. After all, this man had no fighting skills. His speed seemed fast, but it was not exaggerated in the eyes of the two third-limit fighters.

If we ignore that strange state, that person can only be regarded as a sandbag, but the two men always have a lingering sense of uneasiness in their hearts, always feeling that if they continue to fight like this, some unpredictable changes will occur.

At the moment when the connection node of the ritual was destroyed, the man who had stood up from the ground again suddenly paused, and then seemed to have lost his supporting strength, and he knelt down on his knees with his head lowered.

Yuan and Qin finally breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could be happy, they suddenly heard the man laughing.

"Why are you doing unnecessary things? This game is not fun anymore..."

As he spoke, a dim yellow light suddenly flashed on his body. At the same time, they heard a dull and violent gasping sound coming from the tunnel, as if something was about to come out.

Yuan and Qin didn't know what this was, they just felt unwell all over, so they quickly took a few steps back.

Yuan Qiyuan held the long stick horizontally in front of him and asked in surprise, "What's going on?"

Director Lei took a look and said solemnly: "You two, the situation is a bit bad. The thing is already in his body."

Yuan Qiyuan said: "Thing? What is that? Didn't you two say that the ritual connection was broken?"

Lan Shengu calmly explained: "Although the ritual connection has been destroyed, it only prevents the influence of the ritual from expanding further. He just can't absorb more flesh and blood and resentment, but what he wanted to do before has been done."

Yuan Qiyuan didn't understand what he was saying, so he pointed his long stick forward and said, "I don't understand this, but can we just beat this guy up?"

Lan Shengu shook his head and said, "It's not that simple."

"What do you mean?" Yuan Qiyuan had a headache. "I say, can't you two finish your words at once?"

Director Lei said calmly and quickly: "This is not easy to handle, but fortunately the situation is not out of control. You two, let's go out now and report this matter first."

When Yuan and Qin heard this, they ran to the two men without saying a word. They still grabbed one arm each, exerted their strength, and led them out.

At this moment, the shadow under the man suddenly expanded outward, and the shadow quickly rushed across the tunnel floor and walls, sweeping over them.

Director Lei and Lan Shen Gu only felt a heaviness in their bodies, and the secret patterns on their bodies quickly faded away at this moment. As for Yuan and Qin, at this moment they seemed to have a great urge in their hearts and wanted to go back and compete with each other.

But at this moment, some force seemed to be mobilized in the bodies of the two men, which made them clear their minds. They dared not stop and quickened their pace to run outside.

In less than two minutes, they rushed outside in one breath, and the team members guarding here were still there. Director Lei immediately said: "I need to contact Director Chen immediately."

The team members immediately took him to an armored vehicle loaded with field creatures.

Director Lei saw that in just a short while, a large area of open space had been cleared nearby, and the yellow-green mist had become much thinner. He clicked on the lower world pass and waited for a while. The other end picked up the call and he said, "Director Chen? I'm Lei Guangcheng."

After Chen Chuan received the contact signal, he immediately asked, "Director Lei, what's the situation now?"

Director Lei said in a deep voice: "Not good. The following ceremony should be used to worship an evil god. However, based on my observation, this evil god is probably still a sacrifice."

He paused for a moment before saying, "This is a double ritual. The first ritual is responsible for collecting blood, flesh, and resentment, which will be used to feed an evil god. Once the evil god is strong enough, the second ritual will be activated immediately, attracting something to devour the evil god.

We just disrupted the original accumulation process of the ritual. The power of the evil god is currently limited and we can still control it, but this may also lead to the existence that intends to capture the evil god."

Chen Chuan then said slowly: "Director Lei, it doesn't matter. I'm not afraid of Him coming out, but I'm afraid of Him not coming out."
