After going into the sea, I met Miss Witch

Rotating and twisting, Ryan felt like a small fish being sucked into a whirlpool in the sea, unable to move and forced to follow the current.

After an unknown amount of time, he felt his body relax, and the darkness in front of him receded like a tide.

At the first moment, he looked at the girl who was held tightly in his arms.

Seeing that she was not thrown away during the "spin", Ryan was relieved.

Looking around, Ryan found himself in a strange space.

The stone pillars on the left and right sides are each several meters thick and nearly a hundred meters high, and are filled with complex and magnificent relief carvings.

Looking along the direction where the stone pillars extend, what comes into view is a magnificent and majestic huge temple.

It is like a fortress inhabited by giants. Its specifications and dimensions reach an astonishing level of over a hundred meters.

The top of the temple was not a traditional building roof, but a prostrate stone giant wolf. He lowered his head, and his eyes seemed to span a long time, falling on Ryan and Freni in his arms.

"Well……"

Just as Ryan was observing the situation around him, a soft voice sounded.

Hearing the voice, Ryan lowered his head in surprise and met Miss Witch's slowly opening light blue eyes.

"Lady Freni, you are finally awake."

"Have I... slept for a long time?" The girl who had just woken up still had a hazy look in her eyes, like the clear mist after the rain.

But soon, the fog dissipated, and the girl's eyes regained their clarity.

Without enough time to sort out the large amount of knowledge that appeared in her mind, Phryne felt a strange warmth coming from her thighs and armpits.

"It's not that long, right?"

Ryan replied, and at this time he also realized that the postures of both parties were inappropriate, and quickly carefully placed the girl on the ground.

Miss Witch's body is very light. With Ryan's strength, holding her is like holding a soft ball of flowers, and you can't feel any weight.

Even with the barrier of the dress, Ryan could clearly feel the feeling of his fingers sinking in through the dress.

After landing, Freni did not speak, but stretched out her hand to straighten the somewhat messy fluffy witch hat on her head. The wide brim covered the girl's fair and jade-like face, making it impossible to see the expression on her face: " Mr. Lane, where are we?"

"The Blood Moon Temple, an ancient relic passed down from the era of gods." Ryan replied: "Lady Freni, you are not injured, are you?"

"I'm fine." Freni rubbed her brows. The influx of a lot of knowledge made her mentally tired: "The blood witch pulled me into a special place earlier and told me something. By the way, Ryan Sir, she said she would give you a 'test', are you okay?"

Although Ryan seemed to show no signs of injury, Phryne could not help but feel worried.

"I just fought a few monsters, the Black Knight, and the 12th Seat Black Knight, which consumed some physical strength and spirituality." Ryan waved his hand indifferently.

"Seat Black Knight?" Freni blinked. Surprise first appeared in her light blue eyes, and then there was deep worry. She couldn't help but reach out and hold Ryan's wrist, and the dark blue magic entered his body. After checking it again and confirming that there was indeed no injury, I felt completely relieved.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

"The strength of the twelfth-level black knight is absolutely top-notch among the second-level elites. It is difficult for ordinary second-level witches to be his opponents..."

Phryne said softly.

"The twelfth black knight has been eliminated by me." Ryan interjected, facing the girl's astonished eyes, he smiled and said: "Thanks to the [first-order spiritual enhancement crystal] you gave me. After taking it, My spirituality has improved tremendously.”

"..."

Phryne was silent for a moment.

She wanted to say that the upper limit of spirituality raised by ten [First-Level Spirituality Enhancement Crystals] was only 33% of that of a first-level extreme professional. There was no way a first-level official professional could defeat a second-level elite professional. And he is also the twelfth black knight at the second level limit.

Looking at Mr. Lane’s time since he took office, it has only been so long...

Her thoughts turned around, but in the end, Freni remained the same as before. She didn't ask anything, but said in a soft voice: "...No matter what, just be fine."

"What happened outside while I was asleep?"

Ryan organized some conversation and told Freni that he was asked to "star" on stage by the Blood Witch, as well as the story of "The Brave Man and the First Witch".

"The hero and the first witch..."

Freni's eyes were dazed for a moment, and only a witch could best understand the situation of the "first witch" back then.

After coming back to her senses, Freni also told Ryan the key points of her conversation with the blood witch Serena.

Of course, she concealed the key point - the witch's curse and pollution.

"Blood Witch, is she going to die?!"

Surprise appeared on Ryan's face. Was the Blood Witch's overwhelming terrifying strength still just in the weak state before her death? It's hard to imagine how strong she would have been in her prime.

Is this the existence of the fourth-order limit...

After the surprise, Ryan's face also showed a look of surprise. He understood the reason behind the series of things the Blood Witch did, and also understood the reason why she was still fearless in the face of the warning from the "circus leader" - human beings He was about to die, so how could he be afraid of a mere threat?

Shaking his head, Ryan said in a deep voice: "Lord Freni, let's go to the stone hall in front first."

"From the current situation, the Blood Witch threw us into the 'Blood Moon Temple', and it is highly likely that she has no intention of harming us." At this point, he laughed at himself:

"After all, with her strength, if she really wants to harm us, she won't go to such great lengths."

Freni nodded.

Then, the two walked side by side to the stone hall not far away.

While walking, Ryan continued to observe this place.

This is a fairly wide space. Judging from the scale of the stone hall seen at the bottom of Mingjin Volcano before, it is unlikely to accommodate such an area. In other words, this is deeper underground? Or is the stone hall under the volcano just a medium, and this is an independent spiritual space?

Ryan guessed in his mind.

Soon, the two came to the gate of the stone hall.

As they got closer, they could feel the grandeur of the stone palace. Standing in front of the stone door that was several dozen meters high and slightly opened, Ryan and Freni were like ants that had strayed into the land of giants.

Ryan took the lead and stood in front of the gap in the stone door, ready to explore the way first.

Compared with Freni, he had a much thicker "blood bar" with the skill [Heart of Gluttony].

Although he had not seen Freni take action after being promoted to the second level, from her performance at the first level, it could be judged that Miss Witch was obviously a "mage" with "high attack and low defense".

Looking at the back of Ryan who had taken a step ahead, Freni paused slightly, but did not say anything to stop him.

After knowing that Ryan had a record of defeating the twelfth black knight, she knew that Ryan was now a powerful swordsman who could stand on his own.

Between the two of them, it was indeed the most appropriate choice for Ryan to explore the way.

In the dome of the Blood Moon Temple, there is a huge light stone embedded in the wall, emitting light, making the entire temple as bright as day.

Ryan walked in.

He walked very carefully. After all, no one knew whether there would be traps in the Blood Moon Temple.

But until he walked to the center of the temple, in front of a blood pool that was as crystal clear as a ruby, he did not encounter any traps.

Obviously, this relic with such harsh conditions for opening did not intend to set up any traps to "trap" the entrants.

Furen followed Ryan's footsteps and looked at the blood pool. She whispered: "Is this the 'holy blood'? It feels almost the same as ordinary water except for the color, and there is no spirituality from it."

Ryan did not reply immediately, but looked at the introduction in gray font in front of him.

[Holy blood: a divine thing, a pure thing stripped from the origin by [the King of Blood], after a thousand years, the effect has been weakened a lot. By soaking the body in it and performing the "holy blood baptism", one can slowly increase the upper limit of one's additional spirituality (this increase can break through the rank limit and does not affect the difficulty of the original spirituality increase). The specific amount of increase is related to the body's tolerance and rank. Due to the long storage time, the holy blood can only take effect on second-level professionals at most.

Please note that the divine things can only take effect once for anyone, even if they are divine things of other gods, they can no longer play a similar role. 】

"Holy blood... [King of Blood]... Is this the taboo of a god in the era of gods thousands of years ago?"

Ryan's heart was shocked.

Not only because the holy blood came from the legacy of a god, but more importantly, how could the effect of this thing be so similar to the effect of the [First-level Spiritual Enhancement Crystal] given to him by Freni!

Could it be that the raw material of the [First-level Spiritual Enhancement Crystal] is...

It's terrifying to think about it carefully.

Was the foundation of the Augustus royal family so terrifying?

Ryan couldn't help but feel dry in the mouth.

It can only be said that Freni's thighs are becoming more and more "thick" and "white", and this "soft rice" is becoming more and more delicious...

Shaking his head, Ryan stopped thinking and looked at the witch lady beside him: "This should be the holy blood."

Freni squatted beside the blood pool and observed carefully. After more than ten seconds, she frowned slightly: "There is so much, it is probably not for direct drinking. Does it mean that it is necessary to soak it?"

"You can try." Although Ryan knew the use of [Holy Blood] through the panel, he couldn't say it directly.

"Then I'll go down and try it." Freni nodded slightly and looked at Ryan: "This time, you are not allowed to compete with me."

This refers to the fact that Ryan just took the lead in exploring the way.

"Okay."

Knowing that [Holy Blood] is harmless, Ryan nodded indifferently.

Seeing this, Freni showed a satisfied smile on her face, and then she turned around, looked at the blood pool in front of her, and began to take off her shoes. However, when she was halfway through taking off her shoes, she suddenly realized a very important problem.

Soaking in the blood pool is like "bathing" in front of Mr. Ryan!

Under the fluffy witch hat, the earlobes covered by the shadows are faintly red. Furenee pursed her lips tightly - the water in the blood pool is so thick that people can't see anything when they enter. In this case, it can't be considered a "bath", right?

Comforting herself like this, Furenee immediately relaxed a lot and continued to take off her shoes.

The clean and crystal clear little feet were exposed to the air, and the toes were as shiny as pearls and jade. Freni lightly touched the surface of the holy blood pool with her toes, and ripples spread out.

At the same time, as her toes touched the holy blood pool, Freni suddenly felt a trace of extremely pure spirituality flowing into her body. Although it was only a little bit, it still made her feel the rise of her spirituality.

"It really works by soaking!"

Freni's face was happy.

But soon, she noticed the abnormality of the holy blood pool.

As she touched it, as if some kind of "program" was started, a large number of bubbles began to appear on the surface of the holy blood pool, and extremely rich spirituality also rose from the blood pool continuously.

"Is the effect of the holy blood evaporating?"

Freni's face was stunned, but she quickly reacted. Without thinking too much, she jumped into the holy blood pool at once, wanting to absorb as much as possible before the effect of the holy blood evaporated.

Seeing this scene, Ryan hesitated.

The effect of [Holy Blood] is indeed not to be missed, but if Freni goes down, wouldn't it be...

Just when he was hesitant, Freni's voice came from the blood pool:

"Mr. Ryan, come down quickly, the effect of the Holy Blood is disappearing."

The girl's voice was full of pure anxiety, and it didn't sound unusual.

But her clenched hands, which were soaked in the Holy Blood Pool and invisible to outsiders, showed that the girl's mood was not as calm as it seemed.

After hearing Freni's words, Ryan took a deep breath and no longer hesitated.

The effect of [Holy Blood] is very strong, and the panel does not say that its effect will conflict with [First-level Spiritual Enhancement Crystal], which means that the two can be superimposed.

His spiritual foundation at the first level was already exaggerated. If he used [Holy Blood] to improve it and promoted to the second level based on it, he himself could not estimate to what extent his spirituality would be improved.

"Splash..."

The blood splashed slightly, forming water splashes. Ryan was completely immersed in the blood, with only his head above the water. Two meters in front of him was Freni, who also had only her head above the water.

Their eyes met, and both of them subconsciously turned their eyes away.

As the two entered, the Holy Blood Pool seemed to have found a "venting point", and the spirituality that was about to "evaporate and dissipate" drilled into the bodies of the two people, and even formed two blood whirlpools on the water surface.

The rich and pure spirituality was washing over the body every minute and every second. Ryan could feel that his spirituality was getting stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye.
