At this time, the strong wind blowing in the canyon was much stronger than when he and Laura came to the monastery last time.

The change in wind force, to a certain extent, represents Himiko's mood.

From this point of view, Himiko's mood at this time is very bad.

The reason why Himiko is in a bad mood, on the one hand, must be because Samantha, the successor, was not sent to him by Matthias; on the other hand, it is very likely because of the invasion of outsiders!

Among them, not only because of Laura, but also because of him as a counterfeit.

Himiko, who is monitoring the entire island, may already know that Lu Qi is a fake.But there was no way to remind the Storm Warrior. He could only sulk all his life and blow strong winds, trying to blow away Lu Qi, a man with evil plans.

Of course, this is just Lu Qi's little guess...

However, what Lu Qi never expected was that when he and Vice Admiral Storm walked to the middle of the wooden bridge, this guess became a reality!

Whoohoo!

In an instant, the strong wind danced wildly, and the almost substantial wind power climbed again!

Lu Qi, who could rely on the weight of the armor on his body and the balance of his body, kept moving forward, but under the sudden violent wind, his legs were like heavy lead, and every step was very difficult.

Even the wooden slats laid on the deck of the wooden bridge were lifted up one after another and blown away!

Immediately afterwards, the entire wooden bridge shook violently, and several thick cracks suddenly appeared on the bridge deck, as if it would be torn apart and shattered by the strong wind in the next second.

At this moment, Lu Qi instantly understood that Himiko's purpose was to kill him!

Without any hesitation, before the wooden bridge collapsed, he immediately exerted all his strength and rushed forward desperately!

At this moment, with the sound of "rumbling", the entire wooden bridge was directly disconnected from the middle!

At this critical moment, Lu Qi, who was running, stepped on his legs suddenly, jumped with all his strength, and jumped over to the half bridge opposite!

"what!!!"

With a low growl, Lu Qi drew a parabola in the air, barely grasping the edge of the fractured surface with both hands, and hung in the air.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant General Storm, who reacted a little slower, fell into the deep valley together with the collapsed half of the wooden bridge...

Seeing the deputy general of the storm disappear into the hazy valley bottom, Lu Qicai withdrew his gaze from looking down, and using his hands hard, he climbed up.

After adjusting his shortness of breath a little, Lu Qi raised his head, looked at the buildings built in the mountains far ahead, and said to himself:

"You are so ruthless, in order to kill me, even your own men will not let go..."

Chapter 3 The Coronation Chamber

Compared with Lu Qi, the situation that Laura encountered on the other side was even more thrilling.

Chased by a large number of storm warriors, Laura relied on her survival instinct all the way to find the most suitable path and headed deep into the monastery.

Even if you encounter a few storm warriors blocking the way, under Laura's precise bow skills, they quickly turned into corpses dripping with black blood.

"It's been so long, how could they still be alive..."

Laura muttered to herself while recovering the arrows stuck on the enemy.

Laura, who was one step ahead, did not take the normal road, but walked wherever there was a road or a rock wall that could be climbed.

The advantage of doing this is that the pursuers behind will also

After all, not every storm warrior is like Laura, who has all climbing skills full...

In terms of progress, she is also much faster than Lu Qi.

Lu Qi had just arrived at the middle courtyard area, but she had already arrived in front of a shrine in the canyon.

And the coronation chamber is right here!

Braving the strong wind, the cautious Laura held the bow and arrow tightly in both hands, and slowly walked into the shrine from the main entrance.

What caught my eye was a disgusting scene:

In the empty hall of the shrine, there was nothing but human skeletons in tattered military uniforms hanging upside down from the ceiling!

On the wooden pillars, there were still several human skeletons tied without clothing to cover them, only half of them remained.

Judging from these open-mouthed skulls, one can roughly guess how much pain they endured when they died, so that they screamed desperately until the last second of their lives...

Under the light of the candles on the wall, these skeletons were covered with a layer of dim yellow, making them look extraordinarily pervasive.

However, Laura, who was already somewhat immune to the weirdness and horror on the island, was completely unconvinced.

She approached these human skeletons very boldly, carefully observed each other's clothes, and couldn't help frowning:

"These should be neon soldiers who came to the island during World War II..."

On the body of one of the neon soldiers, Laura also found a yellowed photo.

After nearly 70 years, the photo has been blurred, and it can only be discerned that the protagonist in the photo is a woman in a kimono.

And in the lower right corner of the back of the photo, Laura found a string of fuzzy days:

"Sanada-kun... may you... all return to Sachiko"

Judging from the title, this photo carries a woman's best wishes for her beloved.

It's a pity that this woman named "Sachiko" did not wait for "Sanada-kun" to return, but waited for the news of his death.

Thinking of this, she took a deep look at the photo, and Laura put the photo back to its original position with great care.

After calming down, Laura cheered up and turned to look ahead at a door carved with the sun and women.

Using an ice pick to pry open the door, she came to a stone room with an open space.

With a glance, Laura's pretty face turned cold.

Human skulls and bones can be seen everywhere. On the floor, the remaining maroon blood stains seem to tell of the vivid lives that once existed.

Apparently, this stone room is one of the slaughterhouses where the Storm Warriors slaughtered the humans on the island...

In the center of the stone chamber, an iron chain was hung, connecting the ceiling with a circular fence on the floor.

When she came to the iron door leading to the next stone room, and pushed the iron door that didn't move at all, Laura found helplessly that she might have to find another way.

After looking at the structure of the entire interior, Laura quickly had a plan.

She first came to the platform on the second floor on the right, turned, and opened the circular fence on the floor.Then, come to the opposite platform, turn another device, and pull up an iron cylindrical cage from the ground.

Finally, she jumped onto the cage again, tied a piece of rope, and then used the reaction force to swing the iron cage towards the stone wall above the iron gate!

Accompanied by a loud bang, the cage smashed open the pile of rubble, revealing a hole through which one person could pass.

pat!

With her legs firmly on the ground, Laura climbed over the entrance of the cave and came to a resplendent stone room.

The whole stone room looks very grand and has a lot of space.

In a circular hall, there are many standing female statues around it, representing the sun queens of the Yamatai Kingdom.

In the center is a giant female Buddha statue sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform with hands clasped together.

Looking at all these things in front of her, Laura couldn't help frowning, and said to herself:

"This should be the coronation chamber...but what about Himiko's body?"

When Laura entered the temple, she happened to miss part of the conversation between Lu Qi and Lieutenant Storm.

Therefore, she didn't know that the Storm Warrior had transferred Himiko's body to the pagoda deep in the temple.

Looking around, Laura, who couldn't find Himiko, was quickly attracted by the portrait on the ground.

The golden floor is composed of carvings and paintings.

The content of the picture seems to be consistent with the murals that Laura saw in Himiko's tomb.

"The Sun Queen's fire sacrifice ceremony to choose her successor..."

"The queen's chosen priestess enters the monastery..."

"She accepted your power and became the new queen..."

While talking to herself, what Matthias said in the cave suddenly flashed in Laura's mind:

"As long as we hold the coronation ceremony and infuse Himiko's soul into her body, the great Sun Queen will be reborn, and we can also gain the long-awaited freedom!"

In addition, she also remembered the contents of General Storm's suicide note:

"The Queen who was, was, and is now left half-immortal, her soul trapped in a corrupt body."

The fragments of the truth are slowly pieced together...

In an instant, Laura finally understood what kind of evil ceremony the so-called coronation ceremony was.

"container..."

"This is not the inheritance of power, but the inheritance of soul! All the queens...they are all..."

"you!"

As soon as the words fell, Laura's eyes fixed on the female Buddha statue in the center.

Looking at the Buddha statue with benevolent eyebrows and kind eyes, Laura's eyes froze, and they immediately turned into strong firmness:

"Himiko, whether it's for other people or for Samantha, I won't let you hurt them, never!"

At this moment, a burst of electrical noise suddenly came from the intercom at Laura's waist.

In the next second, Lu Qi's voice suddenly sounded:

"Laura, can you hear me?"

Hearing this, Laura's eyes lit up, and then she picked up the walkie-talkie and quickly responded:

"Lu Qi?! Are you okay?"

"I'm fine. How about you? Are you hurt?"

"No, I have come to the Coronation Chamber, but there is no Himiko's body here..."

"It's like this, the Storm Warrior has moved it to another place, in the deepest pagoda of the temple..."

"There is our goal!"

Chapter 3 Melee warriors plus long-range archers, isn't this invincible?

"Laura!"

With a familiar shout coming from behind, Laura turned her head and saw Lu Qi, who was dressed as a warrior, jumping down from the hole she came from.

"Lu Qi!"

Laura and Lu Qi, who acted separately, finally meet in the coronation chamber.

The arrival of Lu Qi gave Laura someone to confide in.

After telling Lu Qi the truth about the coronation ceremony, Laura then looked at Lu Qi with searching eyes, wanting to know what the latter was thinking.

Although he already knew it, Lu Qi still had a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice:

"If this is the case, then we must destroy this evil ancient soul even more, and make her disappear completely!"

After a pause, he turned his head to look at the passage beside the Buddha statue, and then said:

"The pagoda should be right ahead, we have to act quickly, before the Storm Warrior catches up to us..."

"it is good!"

As soon as the words fell, the two walked into the cave passage leading to the next area together.

Inside the passage, candlelight flickered, and red candles were lit in the recesses of the walls on both sides, lighting up the direction for the two of them to move forward.

Along the way, the two came to a gate.

On both sides of the door, there are also two ghostly statues with hideous faces, holding knives and long spears, which seem to warn visitors not to trespass in this area.

Standing

"Are you ready?"

Hearing this, Laura raised her bow and set her arrows, and after posing as ready to fight, she nodded to Lu Qi.

Looking at Laura with a serious face, Lu Qi pulled out the Taidao from his waist, inserted it between the cracks in the door, and pried it out!
