When passing the half-fallen gargoyle statue, Jock deliberately turned on his spiritual vision.

No abnormalities were found.

‘Hmm, it seems I’m overthinking it?’ The experience of reading novels and playing games in his previous life, as well as his own cautious character, made him subconsciously choose to do this.

‘Well, you are a bat demon, not a gargoyle, although you look similar.’ After complaining to himself, Jock followed the team through the tall ‘archway’.

On the way to the ruins, Jock deliberately lowered his sense of presence. As the sequence increased, this was an additional small special effect of the "playing dead" ability.

For Jock, being noticed means not being free, and he doesn't like it.

Under Rishi's solemn warning, the adventure hunters became quiet along the way.

No one wants to risk their lives.

The road became wider and wider, overgrown with weeds everywhere, and stone pillars with ornately carved patterns appeared from time to time on the roadside. On their tops, there were statues similar to the gargoyles of the previous 'archway'.

It's just that the shape is much smaller.

Jock silently minimized his presence, blended in with the crowd, and kept his spirits high.

As the group of people continued to go deeper, the outline of the building complex began to appear in front of everyone's eyes.

They are all spire buildings made of dark gray stone. Most of the buildings are not very high. Judging from the outside, there can be at most two floors inside.

These houses exude a rich Gothic style, with statues and murals decorated with gargoyles, imps, bats and other shadowy creatures everywhere on the walls and eaves.

Each house was about the same size and had similar exterior architectural decorations. Jock soon discovered that there was a common mark on all these buildings.

Bloody sunflower!

'It's so eye-catching, it was hard for Rishi not to notice it at first.'

Zooming in further, Jock saw a tall building.

It has the same spire shape, but it is more than ten times larger than the surrounding houses!

On the front of the triangular roof facing everyone, the red sunflower mark is particularly eye-catching. Directly above the roof, a huge gargoyle statue sits on it in a crouching posture.

This statue looks more realistic than the previous one, and it is holding something in its hand.

Jock looked more intently and found that it seemed to be a bell.

'Church?' Jock thought in his mind, 'But how can any church be guarded by shadow creatures? Is this a characteristic of the Luna Cult?'

He couldn't help but picture the appearance of Lobia Church in his mind. The fear caused by looking at the Holy Emblem at that time still lingered in Jock's memory.

"The bloody sunflower should not be the holy emblem of this church." After Lobia's experience, Jock had already learned a lesson.

He reminded the members of the team to pay attention to the huge bloody sunflower. Seeing that they had stared at it for a long time without any abnormality, he finally began to observe it with peace of mind.

‘Maybe it’s not a church there, well, it seems to be a castle.’ At this time, Jock was not very close to that tall building, and if he wanted to get there, he would have to pass through many low buildings first.

Before I knew it, the sky had turned dark.

A bright moon, I don’t know when, seemed to be hanging in the center of the ink-like sky, so dazzling that people unconsciously felt a sense of worship.

'What kind of deity is the Moon God? Why do I feel like this place... is similar to a cult gathering place... or a devil's lair...'

'Hmm...it could also be a vampire's castle...after all, there are gargoyles appearing...'

Jock had never come across any information about the Moon God before. According to what Rishi and others told him, the Moon God must have huge power in this era.

But unfortunately, among the eight righteous churches today, there is no so-called ‘Moon God Sect’.

'Is it because this sect has disappeared in the course of history? Or is it simply because I have limited knowledge?'

'It seems that I still need to study harder.'

The brains of Tianqiong people possess many secrets that ordinary people cannot access, but Qiao Ke is fully prepared and the time to return to the family is still very short.

In addition, he was constantly in trouble and did not have much time to study.

Jock looked up at the bright moon, with all kinds of strange thoughts in his mind.

suddenly!

He felt palpitations!

An inexplicable fear instantly enveloped Jock's body and mind.

‘Holy shit! The moon in the sky... blinked?!’ At just that moment, he seemed to see the moon closing like an eyeball.

"The moon is so bright, we don't need to use lighting equipment." Jock said to the adventure hunter beside him with a smile, looking very relaxed.

"Well, the moon is really beautiful. Praise the Moon God." Under the influence of Jock, several hunters began to stare at the moon, their faces full of admiration.

Everything looks perfectly normal.

‘Is it because I’m dazzled? Or is it a visual deviation caused by too much mental exertion?’ Since coming in, Jock’s mental perception and spiritual vision have been continuously turned on.

The moon no longer appeared in the terrifying scene before, but that uneasy feeling still couldn't dissipate in Jock's heart.

He quietly observed the others. No one seemed to feel the same way as he did. The atmosphere in the crowd was almost full of expectation.

'Uh...' Jock suddenly thought of a possibility, 'It can't be because I have such an open mind about the moon god...'

"The gods must not be blasphemed!" Luona's words immediately lingered in Jock's ears.

Qiao Ke immediately made a prayer gesture with his hands silently, and began to say silently in his heart: "Don't be surprised if Lord Moon God is strange, don't be strange if you are strange, it's because I'm ignorant, it's because I'm ignorant, your Lord... Oh, no, you Lord

Don't remember the faults of villains...I was wrong...I was wrong...'

Not to mention, after he sincerely apologized, the previous feeling slowly disappeared.

As if breaking out in a cold sweat, Jock felt a little more relaxed.

This gave him a new understanding of the gods.

"This is too scary..." Jock put away all his random speculations about the moon god and behaved like a good baby in his heart.

"Wait a minute." Lixi, who was leading the way, suddenly signaled everyone to stop, "There is a trap ahead."

Rixi had said early on that the last adventure team she followed was destroyed because of a trap. When she heard what she said now, everyone was very alert.

Everyone looked towards the position indicated by Rixi, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

The place she pointed to was actually the road not far ahead, but no matter how everyone looked at it, it was exactly the same as the road everyone was walking on now.

Nothing unusual at all.

At this time, Jock maximized his mental perception and spiritual vision, and at the same time reduced his sense of existence to the minimum. His pair of lingering faint green eyes stared at the location pointed by Rich.

Also found nothing.

Rishi will definitely not deceive everyone at this time.

Then there is only one possibility left...

The level of camouflage in the trap was so high that Jock couldn't notice anything strange about it.

"If you don't go out, how will you know that there are people outside the world, there is a sky outside the world, and the ancestors will not deceive me." At this time, Qiao Ke deeply felt the vastness of the world. The real world of strong people is outside the city.

Since he couldn't break the disguise, he chose to wait and see.

"Shane, give me the things." The bright moonlight illuminated the place as bright as day. Shane took out a bag from the bag on his waist and handed it to Rich.

There was a soft "sloshing" sound in the bag, and it sounded like there was some liquid in it.

Rixi was holding the bag with one hand and holding the bottom of the bag with the other. She weighed the bag and then threw it forcefully to the location indicated before.

Snap——

The bag fell to the ground and its contents spilled out.

Red, bloody smell, those liquids are undoubtedly blood.

Along with the blood, there was also a soft hemispherical object wrapped in scarlet.

Jock is familiar with that stuff.

That's the brain!

Rixi signaled everyone to be silent, and everyone's attention was focused on the direction of the bag.

Xixisuosuo... Xixisuosuo...

The ground, which originally looked like everything was normal, began to undergo strange changes shortly after the blood and brains began to flow out.

The ground...is cracked?!

The ground, which was intact just now, is now beginning to have dense cracks...

No! Wrong!

That's not a crack!

Something has risen!

Soon, many white threads appeared in the space around the ground, and a huge spider was located in the center of the threads.

Jock's eyes lit up when he saw this scene. He had seen this spider in the information he had read before.

This is a hemp spider!
