Chapter 1176: Blood Volume Reduced by One
It seemed that it was mentioned that this place was a temple used for sacrifices, but along the way, Li Chengxi didn't seem to see anything related to God. At least you should have a statue of a god, right?

If doctrine is actually unnecessary for the true God, then the statue is not unnecessary, and even a holy emblem must be had.

This is equivalent to God's business card. You have to let believers know who they are worshipping, and it cannot be changed at will, otherwise they will immediately lose all their current faith foundations.

After all, Li Chengxi is a god, and he is more sensitive to this aspect.

With this doubt in mind, he took the lead and crawled through the crack in the wall.

It was surprisingly bright behind the crack. It was pitch black when I shone a flashlight inside from the entrance, but once I entered it was like entering a bright room, without any feeling of dimness.

The terrain is just as Charlie said, it looks like a natural cave, but the shape is indeed a bit strange.

Several stalactites extending from the top of the cave may have finally connected with the stalagmites on the ground after a long time. They look like several shining pillars sticking out in front of your eyes, crisscrossing and vertically.

Looking forward, there is a very large and complex deep pit. On one side, you can see a path for people to pass through. It does indeed form a spiral downward trend, leading to a deeper underground.

The light came from flames wrapped in rusty metal cages. It was hard to tell whether they were torches, braziers, or some special lamps. They might be lighting fixtures from the Roman era, and they looked quite different from all the lighting fixtures used today.

This time the flame was real flame, not the orange or bluish-white light before. If you get closer, you can even feel the strong heat wave. I just don’t know what this thing is burning. At least I don’t see any fuel such as oil.

"When our investigation team first came in, there were no lights here."

When Charlie saw this scene, he immediately reminded everyone that something was wrong.

As the situation was completely unknown, no one dared to act rashly, and everyone turned around to search for threats that might be in the shadow of the flames.

Li Chengxi did not move forward immediately, not because he was afraid, but because he heard the sound.

"It sounds like something is crawling over there."

Unlike the crawling sound of insects, this sound sounds like sand falling gently on the ground, very slight, but also very special.

As soon as Li Chengxi finished speaking, he heard a scream from behind.

"On the upper left, it's...!"

Everyone turned to look, and saw nothing but stones and shadows. However, the person who issued the reminder was stiffening and turning gray at a speed visible to the naked eye. All sounds were blocked in his lungs, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a stone statue.

His horrified expression froze at the moment he opened his mouth to warn loudly, as if it was the work of an artist with a bad taste, but no matter how good an artist is, it is impossible to do it so lifelike.

"It's a petrification attack! Move him out, be careful not to damage him, and everyone else take cover!"

Petrification is the last thing adventurers want to encounter.

Other abnormal states can be solved with potions or folk methods, but petrification is something that cannot be solved unless there is a special spell as long as the target is hit.

Wizards and priests who can cast spells to break spells are a scarce resource among adventurers. If one person is hit, his companions can carry him and run away, but if the whole team is hit, there is really no way out.

Fortunately, there aren't many monsters that can use petrification attacks, and considering the style of this building, there's only one possible monster.

A hissing sound, like many snakes spitting out their tongues, appeared above the head at this moment. The sound made people's scalps tingle, and made people want to see what it was.

As a result, when a few people looked up, they were also turned into stone statues.

"It must be Medusa!"

Gan Xiaoyan quickly lowered her head and covered her eyes with her hands.

Li Chengxi didn't know much about mythology, but he knew about Medusa and looked up, but he might have looked up too late, and could only see a snake's tail crawling through the shadows on the top of the cave. Any abnormal state is extremely difficult to affect the gods, and the divine shield can greatly exempt the probability of abnormal states taking effect. Even if it does take effect, it can be made invalid by divine resistance, so Li Chengxi is fearless.

But the others were obviously not like that, so they quickly found cover nearby, squatted down, and lowered their heads.

"Come behind me."

Asking Gan Xiaoyan to get behind him, Gan Xiaoyan was not polite and hugged Li Chengxi's waist from behind, buried her head on his back, and said:
"Be careful, anyone who looks into Medusa's eyes will be petrified."

Yes, people can be petrified, but it doesn’t say that God can also be petrified.

To be honest, Li Chengxi is still a little curious about what Medusa looks like. According to mythology, Medusa is extremely beautiful. Even according to the two-dimensional setting, Medusa is extremely beautiful.

It's just snake hair, barely acceptable.

Just as Li Chengxi thought of this, he heard the hissing sound of many snakes again. Following the sound, he saw a twisted shadow poking its head out from behind one of the stalactite columns.

It was barely recognizable as a woman, and the facial features were also barely recognizable. The snake's hair was twisting on its head, making a strange hissing sound, and when Li Chengxi looked over, it stared at him with its amber eyes.

"Damn it, this isn't the snake-haired beauty I imagined!"

Forget about being a beautiful girl, this thing doesn't even look like a human when you look at its face, especially the shape of its face, which looks more like a snake than a human.

He raised his hand and slapped him. A shrill scream sounded in the air, covering up Li Chengxi's exclamation of "Fuck!"

However, Medusa's real body was hiding behind a stalactite column, and the slap from a distance missed her. The latter immediately shrank back and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Li Chengxi felt really shocked, but Medusa felt even more shocked. Li Chengxi not only looked at it, he even scolded it, but Li Chengxi didn't have the slightest intention of turning into a stone statue.

"Brother Li, have you seen Medusa?"

"I saw it, but it's better not to see it, it's so ugly!"

"Won't you turn into a stone statue?"

"Just think of me as being resistant to petrification."

As he was speaking, Li Chengxi heard a slight sound of breaking wind, and an arrow almost as long as his arm shot out from the shadows.

The divine shield can block all attacks from mortals, and Li Chengxi originally wanted to ignore it.

But for some reason, Li Chengxi suddenly felt a sense of crisis at that moment, as if his instinct was reminding him that he could not resist the arrow head-on.

Opportunities are fleeting, and Li Chengxi has almost no combat experience, let alone skills, as he has not received any training.

Although he felt a sense of crisis, his body's reaction was very slow. By the time he wanted to dodge, the arrow had already shot towards him.

He reflexively raised his hand to cover his face. He could hear the sound of the arrow breaking and shattering on his arm, but the stinging pain made Li Chengxi frown slightly.

When he put his arm down, he saw a shallow cut on the back of Li Chengxi's hand, less than three centimeters long, with only a slight bleed.

This isn't right.

God should not shed blood.
