Chapter 2395 Sacrifice and Fossils
Her hands touched the falling boulder again, and the burning sensation was still there. The water film did not provide much help. But Miss Sandel still resisted and did not withdraw her hands. Instead, she pushed upwards with all her might. Even if she could not stop the stone door from falling, she thought it would be good to slow down the speed of its descent.
But she couldn't even do this. The sealing method of the ancient earth witch was not something a mermaid could contend with.
The second attempt wasted some time, and the stone door had already dropped to half its height. When she finally gave up trying and knelt on the ground to look inside, she saw that the four people behind the door were getting closer, but Miss Sandel could see that they would never catch up.
"give up."
The worried and nervous expression on her pretty face became more and more intense. A voice in her heart said to her, but the experiences she had with Grandma Siamnode, Miss Knight and the mysterious Miss Meister immediately came to her mind.
She thought about how Granny Sienorde rescued her, about Miss Knight who had been silently doing all kinds of chores, and about how everyone, including the mysterious Mr. Hamilton, was trying to sacrifice themselves in exchange for the "Heart of Oasis" to be found.
At this time, the complete compass was already in the bag behind her. Even if she didn't care about what was behind the door, it would not affect her getting the treasure.
"Leave here now, nothing will happen."
A new idea popped up in her mind, but she looked back at the lonely desert outside the "mouth" illuminated by the moon. Although she knew that leaving now would not cause any loss to her, the heat surging in her chest prevented her from doing so.
"I'm such a fool."
She quickly turned around, grabbed the package, took out the blood-red [Philosopher's Stone] from it, then picked up the petrified sword that Miss Knight had just thrown to her, and quickly knelt on one knee at the door.
He held the Philosopher's Stone in his right hand and lifted the stone door with his shoulders, while he grabbed the long sword with his left hand and held it in front of him.

The stone gate's irresistible downward force directly broke her hand bones and shoulders, and the Philosopher's Stone was mixed into the blurred flesh and blood on her shoulder.
puff!
The blue-haired girl who was spitting blood took one last look at the surprised people inside the door. Although she herself didn't know why she made such a choice, and even the fear and terror in her heart were already welling up, she still reluctantly recited the spell that Miss Knight had said when she described the story to them:
"The power of the earth protects all things!"
Inherited divine power or possessed a corresponding stone statue - in compliance with the law;
High-level alchemical materials for shaping life - in line with;
Belief in ancient gods - in accordance with;
Standing on the ground - it doesn't fit. But because of the special nature of this insect body - it fits.

The sound was no longer the sound of Miss Sandel's bones being crushed, but the petrification marks spreading from the place where the stone door touched her body to the whole body, blocking the falling door, and making the stone door make a sound as if it could not bear the weight.
With her feet as the center, the golden miracle element that soared into the sky at this moment almost ignited the entire giant worm.
The earth responded to the mermaid's sacrifice, and miracles that were otherwise impossible were awakened because of her sacrifice.
Xia De even felt a strong sense of weightlessness at this moment. The golden light made him unable to open his eyes. He felt like he was walking in the void at this moment.
[Stranger, you have sensed a "miracle".]
[Stranger, you have some understanding of "sacrifice", "earth" and "hero". ]
And when the dazzling sun-like light disappeared, Mia was attracted by the light and stuck her head out. When she looked forward again, she saw that the fallen stone door was stuck in the two-thirds position and no longer moved. Under the stone door, there was a stone statue of a mermaid kneeling on one knee, holding a stone sword in her left hand and looking forward with wide eyes. Her expression was completely frozen in relief and liberation.
"The miracle she accomplished was to maintain the seal's effect while the door was open. It seems that the power of this magic is not enough to completely destroy the worm's body. Of course, it may also be that her soul is not strong enough."
While Shade, Granny Sienod, and Miss Knight were speechless with astonishment, Miss Meister spoke softly. But Shade felt that the saint was more like explaining the situation to the three of them than expressing her own opinions.
The stone gate stopped falling, which meant that everyone was no longer in a hurry to move forward. Everything seemed to be over. When the four people supported each other and came to the stone gate, they only needed to bend down to pass under the stone gate.
But no one did so, and Miss Sandel's face was facing the inside of the "worm". If she left here, she would never be seen again.
No one spoke. Everything seemed to be over, but no one was happy in the depressing atmosphere.
"I was the one who told Miss Shandel the information about the divine art."
Miss Knight said while holding the helmet, while Shad knelt on one knee in front of the statue and touched her left arm with his right hand.
The petrified sword of the ancient knight that she held in her hand was carefully taken out by Shade. After inheriting the "Power of the Earth: Blessing All Things" and becoming the material for this spellcasting ritual, the sword was almost on the verge of breaking and could no longer bear any tasks.
"I can feel that her soul is still inside her body, just like the ancient knight we met last time."
Shade said softly, standing up with a serious look on his face. This time they were really saved by Miss Sandel, and until now, Shade didn't even know where she came from.
Granny Sienorde seemed to know what Xia De was thinking, and her face, which was even older than before, was filled with sorrow:
"In fact, I know her story. I rescued her from the sea of sand. She told me her story before you all arrived at the temple. Leah Shandel is indeed her real name, but she did not come here to find a birthday present for her father. She came here to find a birthday present for her mother."
She choked up a little:
"It's not that simple. She was born into a large mermaid community. The old king of the community has grown old, and the one who brings the most precious treasure on this birthday will become the next generation's king.
Apart from her witch identity, she has no advantage over her sisters. But if she fails to become king, her sisters who are also witches will kill her directly. After all, she is one of the few witches in the royal family. "
Granny Siamod didn't say anything more, but both Shad and Miss Knight knew what she meant.
Miss Sandel seems to be always optimistic and warm to everyone, but behind this appearance, she also has her own story and troubles.
"Let's go out first. With the miracle she summoned, we can come back in at any time."
Miss Meister said, and Shade nodded, and then everyone bent down one by one and crawled out from under the stone door.
The moonlight illuminated the endless sea of sand. The sand, which emitted a faint golden glow during the "daytime", now glowed with a layer of silver light.
The giant insect had indeed moved. The evidence was not only the huge ravine extending into the distance behind it, but also the fact that less than twenty steps in front of the giant human head was the Temple of the Sun that everyone was familiar with.
After turning around, he returned to the same place again. Shade was even stunned for a moment. He took out some gold ornaments and antiques and threw them on the ground, creating a new camp between the insect's huge head and the temple.
No one suggested returning to the temple for the time being, and the group of four sat down by the campfire again.
Everyone was silent for a while, and then Granny Sienod picked up the bag containing the compass fragments. After she simply assembled the complete compass, she stood up and walked into the Sun Temple behind everyone with the compass.
Soon, a huge breath of life surged out of the temple. Green light emerged from the windows and doors. When the light faded, Granny Siamnod came out holding a green heart-shaped crystal that Xiade had never seen before, but knew what it was at a glance. After placing it by the fire, she sat down again.
The fact that [Heart of Oasis] was actually in the "Temple of the Sun" where everyone was did not surprise anyone, as if everyone felt that it was natural.
And Shad, Miss Knight and Granny Siamnode were not happy about finding the "Heart of the Oasis". None of them wanted to check what the "Heart of the Oasis" was that had sacrificed countless people and almost buried them in the desert.
Everyone was staring at the flames in front of them in silence. Suddenly, amid the crackling sounds, Shade asked Miss Meister:
"Do you have any other way to get Miss Shandel back?"
He could only send the petrified soul away, and there was no way to reverse this special state. Moreover, this was a tribute to the "Earth", and only the gods could solve this problem.
Although there is still divinity in his body, according to the rules of the time key, Shade cannot ignite divinity in the past. The time ripples caused by mortals can still be smoothed out by time, but once the power of the gods appears at a time point that should not appear, the trouble caused cannot be solved by Shade not being able to use the time key for a few months.
The only way now was to ask the God of Mist for help. If Miss Shandel really died, he would give up. But her soul was still there, so the matter was not over yet.
The face of the God of Mist looked even more beautiful in the flickering firelight:
"Of course there is a way."
The other three looked at her at once:
"any solution?"
"Didn't you discover that in addition to the abnormal light, abnormal space and time characteristics, this desert also brings some illusions that seem real to outsiders."
The light brown skin looks even more lustrous under the light of the night:
"Whether these illusions are real or not is like lights in the fog. No one can tell unless they get closer."
Xia De's pupils contracted:
"You mean, using the power of illusion to make the false become true?"

Two updates in the evening.
