Chapter 20 Marduk

Cheng Mo didn't speak for a while.

This woman, Zou Qingqing, seems too shrewd and calculating from the very beginning. She has a gorgeous appearance, but it makes people think of a beautiful but poisonous poppy. You have to be on guard all the time if she suddenly stabs you in the back.Cheng Mo and Zou Qingqing have no relationship, but even though there have been many moments like this before, seeing such a woman who was plump and charming one second, and turned into a dead body with blood loss in the next second, he still feels complicated Emotions flashed by.

A hand patted him on the shoulder from behind, and Qin Chuhe walked to his side——except for critical moments, Qin Chuhe always kept a respectful distance from him.

"Let's go, it's getting dark." Qin Chuhe was still so tepid, and Zou Qingqing's departure didn't have much impact on him. In fact, Cheng Mo had never seen him be at a loss.As if he knew what Cheng Mo was thinking, his expression relaxed a little, and he said, "Not everyone dies like Qianqian, so most people can return to the original world. Death in the game is not It’s nothing, it’s just a failed dungeon challenge. You’ve only come to this game, so the more you see it, the better.”

"Although Er Anne will not come out to act again after dark, there is no guarantee that there will be no other things. Let's find a place to rest first and confirm the arrangements for tonight." Qin Chuhe patted Cheng Mo to signal him Keep up and walk in the direction of the central holy road where they were before, "I took a look before I met Eranne. The doors of the houses here are basically destroyed, and it is difficult to guarantee safety at night."

"So where are we going? Marduk's temple?" Xu Qing joked.

Unexpectedly, Qin Chuhe looked serious and did not seem to be joking, so he nodded in affirmation and said, "Go to the temple."

"Ah?" Xu Qing was stunned, and after realizing it, he grabbed Qin Chuhe and gritted his teeth, "The main hall is so eye-catching, we all know there must be something inside, but can you guarantee whether it is good or bad? It's so dark now , and the situation is unclear, what should I do if I rashly break into the main hall and trigger other organs?"

"I can't give you the guarantee of 'absolute safety there'." Qin Chuhe looked at him indifferently, "But I promised before, if you don't die, I can guarantee that the team will lose at most one member before clearing the customs. Of course, if you want I have no problem doing it alone."

"You don't need this kind of promise." As if his self-esteem had been greatly offended, Xu Qing looked at him for a while with a very bad expression. It seemed that he had gone through a fierce battle between heaven and man in his heart, and finally swallowed this breath, swallowing his breath followed at the end of the line.

Compared with ordinary houses in the urban area, the temple of Essagira is extremely grand and solemn.The entire temple occupies a square area, and in the center is a seven-story tower, which is the main body of the temple.Each floor of the tower is paved with glazed tiles of a fixed color, and on the top floor where the golden statue of Marduk is enshrined, the glazed tiles change from monochromatic to multi-colored, highlighting the uniqueness of this floor.

As Qin Chuhe said, they went up to the sixth floor of the temple safely, and the journey was calm, except for the rumble of the Euphrates River rushing away outside the temple.At this moment, the sky is completely dark, there is not a single star in the night sky as thick as ink, and a round of blue-white sickle moon sprinkles thin light, and all the scenery outside is not very clear under the cover of night.

Fortunately, the ever-burning lamps in the temple were still burning unattended, saving them the trouble of finding lighting equipment.Not knowing what event the Marduk Golden Statue would trigger, the group decided to rest on the sixth floor tonight to be on the safe side, and then went to the top floor to check after dawn the next day.

The god Marduk is the patron saint of Babylon and has a high status in the Babylonian dynasty.This floor is the place closest to the golden statue of Marduk, that is to say, the "place closest to the god" in the law. It is regarded as a place of worship by the people here, and a huge altar was built in the middle of the main hall.Thanks to this altar, they found some food and water in it.

"Fortunately, they use food to sacrifice to the gods. If they put a dead person, they will be disgusted to death." Xu Qing frowned and chewed the dry baked pancakes. Unexpectedly, he didn't complain that the food was hard to swallow. He looked at Qin Chuhe , "What's the plan for tomorrow?"

"Although Zou Qingqing was caught today, Er'anne will come out to patrol the city again tomorrow and catch the rest of us. Its setting is to 'slaughter the city', and we need to ensure that there is no living thing in the city." Qin Chuhe Analyzing, "To be on the safe side, I think we have to find a way to solve it completely."

"But there is a problem—that half-man, half-fish form looks bulky, but we also saw it just now. It runs very fast. If it is caught, it will basically be sucked like Zou Qingqing. Die with dried blood." Qin Chuhe pondered for a moment, "We don't have any weapons at hand, so head-to-head is not safe, why not..."

He suddenly raised his head and glanced at the top of his head.

Cheng Mo understood what he meant and asked, "Marduk is alive too?"

"Yes." Qin Chuhe said softly, "Rianne's setting is to 'destroy', while Marduk's duty is to 'protect'. In this case, theoretically, the two of them will fight each other."

"If Marduk is really alive, why didn't he appear when the city was massacred in Er'anne?" Liu Xiao raised doubts.

"There is no opportunity to wake up." Xu Qing said suddenly, and he scratched his hair a little irritably, "Those idiots and ordinary people regard him as a star in the sky, but they don't know that this god can actually wake up. The one above What conditions should Marduk need to wake up, but what conditions?"

"I'll find out tomorrow." Qin Chuhe still looked calm, found a place close to Cheng Mo, and lay down on his side with his clothes on. "Nothing will happen tonight, let's rest first."

Cheng Mo woke up in a scorching heat.

The night temperature here did not drop at all. Even though he was sleeping in the temple, the ubiquitous hot air still made it difficult for him to breathe.Cheng Mo tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep the night before, and was awakened several times by the burning pain in his throat in the second half of the night, which made him a little dazed for a few seconds when he woke up in the morning.

The rest of the people are still awake, only a thin shadow standing by the corner window, looking out.Because of the backlight, Cheng Mo could only see his thin silhouette.

At this moment, time is suspended, the surroundings are silent, and the hand of God erases the redundant background.That familiar feeling reappeared, as if to pull Cheng Mo back to a past that didn't exist.

Qin Chuhe suddenly turned around: "Cheng Mo?"

Cheng Mo was terrified, and frantically suppressed the tears that even he felt were inexplicable.I don't know how to explain it, so I can only pull out a smile hastily, and said vaguely: "Huh? Ah... It's okay, you woke up so early."

Qin Chuhe looked at him probingly for a few seconds, as if he was judging whether he was really as good as he said. Fortunately, Qin Chuhe seemed to have remembered a more urgent matter.

"Did you notice anything wrong today?" He asked Cheng Mo.

After his reminder, Cheng Mo noticed the strange feeling that had been lingering since the moment he woke up, as if something was different from yesterday.

Xu Qing and Liu Xiao were still sleeping soundly, and the surrounding was very quiet, only their shallow breathing could be heard.

Cheng Mo suddenly realized something.

Quiet...today is too quiet.When they came here yesterday, the sound of the rumbling water outside was thunderous. He still remembered that Xu Qing complained about it for a long time, saying that the sound of the water affected his sleep.But today, there was dead silence outside, since he woke up until now, he had not heard the slightest sound of water.

Qin Chuhe stepped aside a bit: "Come and have a look."

Cheng Mo walked up to him and looked out the window.The next second, he froze.

The Euphrates dried up.

The river, which was still choppy yesterday, has all disappeared today, leaving behind a dry and cracked black riverbed, and the deep cracks seem to be embedded in the ground.What is even more frightening is that the high hanging sun seems to be a little closer to the ground, changing from yesterday's warm yellow to today's deep orange, like a piece of red hot soldering iron.The temperature outside rose sharply, and the turbulent heat distorted all the scenery outside the window, and there was a faint burnt smell in the air that floated in.

"The progress of the dungeon is speeding up." Qin Chuhe woke up Xu Qing and Liu Xiao, "The temperature outside is too high, and you will be dehydrated immediately when you go out. We need to solve Er Anne here."

"E'annei should be in the urban area at this time. Liu Xiao went to the corner window to see its exact location. Although it has no effect on land during the day, it can't go back to the water today. Once the sky is completely dark , Er'anne will trigger the 'Rage' mode, and all of us will die." Qin Chuhe said, "Cheng Mo and Xu Qing will go to the upper floor with me to wake up Marduk, and now only he can relieve Er'anne's threat. "

It was rare for Xu Qing to raise any objections to Qin Chuhe's decision. The three of them ran up to the top floor quickly, and the huge golden statue of Marduk was enshrined in the center of the main hall. city ​​soil.

Qin Chuhe ran towards the golden statue without a single pause, picked up a copper-handled scimitar on the base of the golden statue, cut his own palm without hesitation, and threw the blood on Marduk's face with his backhand.

"Your city is dead, do you still want to be a tortoise?" Qin Chuhe looked at the golden statue coldly.

I don't know if it was Cheng Mo's illusion, but he felt that Marduk seemed to move.

There was a sudden sound of rolling thunder from the sky, and at the same time, the golden light was shining brightly, pieces of the golden statue's shell fell off, and a huge shadow came out of its shell in the dazzling light.

The golden scepter he held was studded with countless jewels, and the intricate tattoos covered his bare arms and neck. A huge boa constrictor with a bowl-thick mouth was clinging to his neck, and an unpredictable light shone in his dark green eyes.

Marduk looked down at Qin Chuhe, looking at the tiny human being who had awakened him.The big snake poked its head out from between his neck, and spat maliciously at Qin Chuhe.

"Eanne is coming this way from the holy path! What are you doing...ah!" Liu Xiao anxiously poked her head out from the spiral staircase, and was startled by the awakened Marduk and the big snake.

"Understood." Qin Chuhe nodded towards Liu Xiao.

He brushed off the blood on his hands indifferently, and without looking at Marduk, he just said coldly:

"Do what you have to do."

While the others were stunned, the big snake withdrew its head, but Marduk paused, and actually raised the scepter that symbolized the status of the main god towards the sky.

As if responding to the scepter, a faint dragon chant came from the sky.
