Whispering Poems

Chapter 666 Sword Slaying Demons
"Yes, the spell is indeed this. Do you know this ring too?"

Sister Devlin nodded. The wind on the autumn night on the cliff was blowing the hem of the nun's robes of the blind nuns. In the wind, they kept exactly the same posture, and the way their blindfolds reflected the light in the moonlight was indeed a bit weird.

"This relic is not well-known. I heard about it from Granny Cassandra before. Even the spell was told to me by my mother-in-law. It is said that it is the knowledge of her teacher. This sage-level relic, It was originally controlled by the local blood-sucking clan of Midhill Castle. According to Granny Cassandra's teacher, this relic first appeared in the Fifth Epoch. The great blood-sucking person bestowed it on a human male. The relic was returned to the vampires after the mortal died in the Sikar Mountain area."

"That's right. Died in the Sikar Mountain area."

Xia De nodded somewhat disappointedly. The ring of the sage-level relic should be given by the saint to the gray-haired old man in armor at the end of the reception of the gods.And now, after an epoch, Xia De heard about that ring again.The ring had morphed from a powerful divine item to a relic, and the old man was long gone.

"The blood-sucking ring can change the race, and it is different from the metamorphosis ring. This seems to be activated by other people chanting a spell. If it is given to Mia, it is equivalent to making Mia change from a cat to a blood-sucking species. In this way , maybe you can use the [Fish Training Ring], and then use the [Metamorphosis Ring] to speak. What am I thinking, the user of the [Vampire Ring] will be infected with blood thirst, I can't let that cat be infected Such a troublesome disease."

The nuns of the [Spiritual Religion] had to rush to the top of the mountain, so after confirming that Xia De was okay, they said goodbye to him.Xia De watched the nuns leave the cliff and enter the dense forest again, while he turned around to the edge of the cliff and looked down.

Even without fear of heights, looking at the dense forest under the cliff at night from this angle still made him feel a little dizzy.And the silver sword of the demon hunter is in the secret cave under the cliff.Ordinary methods cannot see the cave entrance at all, only the person who holds the scroll of parchment can see it.

"Finally found"

It was very late, and Xia De was also thinking about the cat at home.Although Luvia, who was watching the stars on the third floor, would help Xia De feed the cat, Xia De was still a little worried.

"Move faster, I want to go back as soon as possible."

He glanced up at the moon in the sky, then took some strings from his pocket.After covering the white cloth, he reduced it into a thick hemp rope, tied it to the tree closest to the cliff, and tied the other end around his waist.After pulling it a few times to make sure it was very firm, it slowly slid down from the edge of the cliff.

"That's why I said that it is really troublesome to find things in the mountains."

Fortunately, he found the right place this time. Not long after, Xia De, who was holding the roll of parchment in his hand, saw twisted and undulating traces on the cliff.Stick the parchment there, and the dark cave entrance immediately appears.

Xia De swung into the cave, using Felianna's Witch Light to melt a handle-like depression on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave, untied the rope and tied it to the "stone handle", so that he could climb up later.

"Silver Moon."

Raising the fingertips, the moonlight bloomed, illuminating the dark cave.This is not like a nest dug by an animal, but rather like a natural rock crevice that has been widened to become what it is now.

The cave is very deep, all the way down, and there is no wind, and there seems to be no other exit.Because the location of the trap and how to remove it were recorded on the parchment, Shad was not in danger either.On the contrary, he confirmed that all the traps had no trace of being triggered, and the ritual used for warning was only damaged by time, not by human beings.

"This is good news. The sword is still here. It seems that I am lucky."

The more you go inward, the narrower the passage becomes. The deep cave is like an ant's nest, and there is no end in sight.

When it was almost nine o'clock, the voice in the ear suddenly reminded that there was a whispering element in front of him, that is, the trace of the [relic], which meant that Xia De was getting closer and closer to the end.

"How did the High Ring Warlock back then, the ancestor of the ophthalmologist Mr. Jacob Alfred, find this cliff cave?"

Thinking in his heart, he continued to walk forward while supporting the uneven stone wall beside him.The ground here is not smooth, and it is quite strenuous to walk.

"Also, why does it feel like it's getting hotter and hotter?"

This is definitely not the illusion of a closed space caused by going too deep into the cave, nor is it the natural heating up in the perennial unventilated cave.I didn't feel it when I first entered here, but after the whispering element appeared, the feeling of heating up immediately became very obvious.

"Could it be that the power of that sword is related to flames? The sword related to fire. Can you feel anything?"

[There is indeed an abnormal heating phenomenon, but it is not the influence of the whispering element. 】

"No? Could it be that this channel leads directly to the underground magma lake?"

Xia De thought in surprise, and as he continued to move forward, even the rocks in the cave became hot, which made the sound of his breathing more and more obvious:

"What's going on, this is definitely not normal."

Continue to move forward, and the narrower and narrower passage finally came to an end, a faint red light flickered ahead, and at the same time, a billowing heat wave rushed towards our face.The moonlight on the fingertips showed that there was a vast space outside the passage, and according to Shad's estimation, he should be in the belly of Mount Xikar now.

He walked out cautiously, trying his best to raise his right hand to illuminate his side.Outside the passage is a small stone platform, and outside the stone platform is a huge hollow in the middle of the mountain.In the quiet, empty, dark, deep, and extremely oppressive environment, the faint light of the flame wavered, which further exacerbated the weirdness of the environment at this moment.

The upper part of the big void is not too high, about three floors, while the lower part.
Xia De bent down to pick up a stone, then threw it to the bottom of the stone platform, and it took a long time to hear the sound of falling.

"In Mount Xikar, there really is everything."

On the opposite side of the hollow in the mountain belly, there is another stone platform that connects to another cave.Between the two stone platforms, there is a thick stone pillar that seems to extend from the bottom.The two platforms and the stone pillars in the middle happened to be in a straight line, and after Xia De got closer to the edge of the platform, he found the traces of the bridge pillars and the broken bridge.

In other words, a long time ago, there was a rope bridge of astonishing length, from this platform to the stone platform in the center of the large cavity, and then to the platform at the other end.But now, although the pillars of the bridge and a small part of the rope bridge drooping downward remain on the stone platform, the main body of the bridge has disappeared.

"What the hell happened here?"

Fortunately, Xia De didn't think about continuing to explore here. The sword he was looking for was on the stone platform where he was currently standing.More precisely, right in front of the damaged rope bridge.

The silver blade gleamed in the dark because of the moonlight from Xia De's fingertips.He could clearly see the inscriptions on the sword. Those ancient words came from an even older era, from the era when evil spirits and demons were rampant in the material world:
【My heart is clear, I cut the devil with my sword. 】

Seeing this sword finally, Xia De was not happy, but frowned.Because the sword was not stuck in the soil, but on a bonfire with sparks.

The campfire was almost extinguished, but a few scattered dark red sparks shot out, and the dim red light came from those sparks.The temperature of this bonfire is extremely high. As soon as he walked out of the narrow passage behind him, he felt a billowing heat wave rushing towards his face. The temperature increase he noticed after feeling the whispering element just now was due to the influence of this bonfire.

"What is this?"

As Xia De squinted his eyes and stared at the bonfire, sparks actually instantly ignited the long-extinguished ashes, and dark red flames sprang up. Amidst the loud noise, Xia De was forced to take several steps back by the heat wave.

The flame almost rushed to the top of the large hollow in the mountain belly, completely illuminating the stone platform.The flames splashed in all directions, and at the same time, the flames made Shade's huge shadow reflected on the cliff behind him.

The silver sword inserted into the bonfire buzzed and vibrated. The original black inscription on the silver sword glowed bright yellow from bottom to top, suppressing the rise of the flame.The bonfire was suppressed little by little until it became normal size.Amidst the crackling sound, Huo Miao licked the silver sword inserted obliquely, as if the two were wrestling.

Xia De stared at this scene dumbfounded, a small murmur sounded in this large hollow in the mountain belly at this moment, a voice was tempting Xia De, tempting him to pull out the sword immediately.

"Oh shit, it's not going to be"

He took out a ring from his pocket and put it on his right hand, with his right hand behind his back, and walked over step by step as if he was really bewitched.

The heat wave beat against his skin, and the blinding flames forced his eyes to squint.In the flames of the bonfire forcibly suppressed by the silver sword, there seemed to be a terrifying face made of flames looking at Shad, with thin and slender eyes, and a split mouth that could almost extend behind the ears.

It is whispering, it is whispering, it is watching the first mortal who stepped here after 800 years.

The light and shadow were intertwined on Xia De's body, and the shaking bonfire made his shadow sway continuously, and the fire light on the ground was quite layered. , Among the surging flames, a giant hand that was bigger than Shad's body, seemed to be made of broken obsidian, with magma-like luster shining in the gap, suddenly stretched out from the bonfire and grabbed Shad.

"Moonlight Great Sword!"

The right hand wearing the [Demon Hunting Seal] slammed the silver giant sword towards the attacking giant hand.The two-handed sword collided with the demon's giant hand, and at the cost of the great sword scattered light, Xia De stepped back a few steps to stabilize his body.And the huge arm was split into a cluster of flames, and was forced to return to the bonfire again.

The silver sword inserted obliquely on the bonfire completely suppressed the flames, and the crackling bonfire returned to the appearance of only a few sparks. Although it was still crackling, nothing could be seen from the flames just now.

"So it turns out that Dr. Alfred's ancestors didn't put the [Demon Hunting Seal] and this sword together in the house where their descendants lived, because of this reason."

Xia De clutched his right arm, stared at the bonfire, stepped back step by step, the fire illuminated his face:

"The High Ring Warlock 800 years ago actually used this sword to seal a demon here! Mr. Demon Scholar Sean Asmond is actually right!"
