Chapter 2846 The sacrifice of the archers
The moment Li Bai fell into the water, he turned his whole body over, looked upward, and looked at the situation on the water with his head wide open. After all, Li Bai himself knew very well that in the water, his movements would be much slower than on the ground. If these arrow branches could still be shot into the artificial lake, then he would need to dodge in advance.
What surprised Li Bai was that the burning sharp arrows turned into repeated black smoke when they touched the artificial lake, just like the strong corrosive agent of the artificial lake. The countless arrow branches did not sank into the lake at all, let alone threaten Li Bai's life safety.
At the same time, what Li Bai knew was that the archers above were probably not real humans, but those who were left in this ghost place by the Fire Lord, and some things with artificial intelligence, or puppets, were more suitable to describe them.
After seeing Li Bai jump into the artificial lake, under the leadership of the original archer, all the archers stood on the edge of the artificial lake, surrounded the entire artificial lake, waiting for Li Bai to appear again, and then shot him into a sieve with another volley.
Li Bai naturally considered these things, so when Li Bai fell into the artificial lake and confirmed that he was not at all dangerous, Li Bai began to think about countermeasures. At this moment, because the sharp arrows burning with flames were constantly corroded by the lake water, bursts of black smoke appeared on the surface of the artificial lake, blocking Li Bai and the archers' eyes.
However, Li Bai could also see that at the back of the artificial lake, there were also archers eyeing him. So Li Bai also roughly understood the position of the group of puppet archers. While the black smoke had not yet dissipated, Li Bai began to swim in the lake and approached the lakeside.
All the puppet archers stood on the edge of the artificial lake. After walking two steps forward, they would fall into the artificial lake. However, these puppet archers seemed to be very afraid of this artificial lake and did not dare to take another step forward.
Just as many puppet archers were holding longbows and nervously observing the situation of the artificial lake, a sudden movement suddenly sounded somewhere in the artificial lake. The lake surface of the artificial lake exploded, and Li Bai rushed into the shore like a flying fish. The Tianyu Sword appeared in Li Bai's hand and slashed at a puppet archer who had not reacted.
Li Bai's sword contained a lot of silver stars. Therefore, under Li Bai's sneak attack, the puppet archer did not support him, but fell straight to the ground. At the same time, Li Bai killed a puppet archer next to him, killing two birds with one stone.
After the sneak attacks of the two archers, the other archers finally reacted and raised their longbows to shoot towards Li Bai.
Li Bai just blocked the corpses of the two puppet archers, one left and one right, and listened to the arrows falling on the two corpses, making a "puff" sound. Then, Li Bai jumped into the artificial lake again, and the corpses of the puppet archers fell into the artificial lake with Li Bai.
Next, something that surprised Li Bai was once again. When the corpse of the puppet archer came into contact with the lake, it was like the arrow branches just now, and a chemical reaction occurred on them.
The entire puppet archer's corpse continued to rise and explode again. With this, the dissipation of these two corpses, like milk tea, the two corpses slowly dissolved in the water, dyeing the originally clear artificial lake black. At the same time, more black smoke rose on the lake.
At this time, Li Bai finally realized that this artificial lake seemed to be a treasure, and could actually cause such harm to these puppet archers. But what Li Bai didn't know was that the real reason was that those puppet archers were attacked by fire poison for many years, so they could no longer touch any trace of water.
Of course, Li Bai didn't care what had happened to these two puppet archers at this time, and he became quite excited now because he had already discovered that he could quickly solve these puppet archers.
Just as Li Bai was about to continue his actions, the corpse of the puppet archer had been completely diluted by the lake water. At this point, two small round beads appeared, radiating red light, as if they were very resistant to the surrounding lake water.
However, the relationship between the lake water and the red bead is more like two companions who love each other, because at this time, none of them can do anything to anyone.
"What is this?" Li Bai thought strangely, but he still swam towards the place where the beads are. After all, in this flame cave, Li Bai didn't think there was anything that could be thrown away.
The red bead has some temperature, but Li Bai didn't know whether it was because of the lake water, the heart-clear pendant, or the bead itself. The temperature of the bead was not very high, but when he held it in his hand, he would feel very warm.
The smoke on the lake continued to cover, so in the next half hour, Li Bai treated the smoke as his protective color and kept rushing out of the smoke, and dragged the puppet archers standing by the lake into the water, without even killing them first.
After only half an hour, the entire artificial lake turned into a black smoke, and the entire artificial lake surface was dyed black. However, what surprised Li Bai was that the water at the bottom of the lake was as clear as ever.
Five minutes passed, Li Bai stopped continuing to "sneak attack" and instead rested at the bottom of the lake, because in the past five minutes, he had wiped out 80% of the puppet archers, which cost Li Bai a lot of spiritual energy. At this time, Li Bai also collected about a hundred red beads, but Li Bai didn't know their use.
Li Bai recalled briefly that the number of archers who had just besieged him was about 100 to 120, which means that at this time, only archers were still on top were left in their early twenties. At this time, these archers had already left the artificial lake far away, and seemed to be afraid of Li Bai.
"I will retreat when the enemy advances, and I will advance when the enemy retreats. Since that's the case, no one of you will ever want to live." Li Bai thought badly. Li Bai felt no guilt at all for these puppets.
After a few minutes of rest, Li Bai swam to the lake again, secretly poked his head out of the lake, and then looked towards the direction of the buildings.
At this time, Li Bai finally saw clearly that there were twenty-five archers left. At this time, he and the others did not face the direction of the artificial lake, but stood together, as if they were driving. Soon, there was a change. The twenty-five puppet archers began to move and lined up into a 50% square array.
Li Bai could see clearly that the puppet archer standing in the center of the square formation was the one Li Bai met at the beginning. At this time, not only him, but all the puppet archers had a serious expression. Just when Li Bai didn't understand what they were doing, these puppets jointly built the gate guards and shouted in unison.
"For the Lord of Fire!"
After saying this, except for the archer in the center, everyone was heading towards the center, and together with the archer in the center, raised their arms high towards the sky. When the next second came, twenty-five red beads appeared in the air, and then slowly rotated with the bead in the center as the center.
If Li Bai didn't know what he was about to have at this time, wouldn't he have experienced so many of his experiences in vain?
The current situation of these puppet archers is clearly preparing for a ritual similar to a sacrifice. If you guess correctly, the other twenty-four puppet archers must have wanted to transfer all their energy to the archer in the center.
Li Bai was not sure how powerful the archer in the center would be if the sacrifice was completed, but it is certain that at that time, his situation would be even more dangerous. Therefore, at this time, no matter what he gave birth, Li Bai had to stop their ritual.
However, just as Li Bai returned to the ground, the sacrifice ceremony seemed to have changed even more. The twenty-four lessons of the outer red beads were spinning faster and faster, and a red whirlwind formed in the air, blew heat waves around.
The heat wave hit Li Bai, which actually made Li Bai, who had a heart-clear pendant, feel a strong burning sensation, making Li Bai's face look very unpretentious.
Li Bai did not rush over, but stood firm in place under such a heat wave. Then, the Tianyun Sword appeared in Li Bai's hands again. The spiritual energy that had just recovered was not much of it and started to move again, gathering on the tip of the Tianyun Sword.
"Break it for me!" The silver star power gathered on the tip of the Tianyu Sword, and with Li Bai's slash, he slashed hard towards the square formation where the puppet archers were. As long as a puppet archer could lose his position, Li Bai believed that their sacrifice would also end.
However, what happened next was finally beyond Li Bai's expectations. The little cold light condensed by the power of the silver stars was blown away from the path that Li Bai had planned under such a heat wave, and was blown aside, destroying an innocent pillar.
This situation made Li Bai confused. He had never seen his attack be blown away. But before Li Bai could understand what happened, at the sacrifice site, all the twenty-four puppet archers rose up from the ground and entered the spiral nest like moths to the flames.
The phenomenon that immediately appeared was that the bodies of the twenty-four archers gradually dissipated, and the archer in the center slowly grew larger. At the same time, the spiral nest suddenly burst out, and a stronger and hot wave of air pounced on Li Bai, causing Li Bai to lose his position and was blown back into the artificial lake.
"I'll go, what's going on?" Li Bai struggled in the artificial lake for a few times and finally returned to normal. However, he felt extremely helpless about the life of these puppet archers.
