Chapter 19: The Cannibal Church
"Thank you. Liu Wansu took the kettle handed over by Luo Xiu and drank the water in a big gulp.
"What the hell is going on with the White Bone Forest you just mentioned? After Lu Jiaying wiped a stone, she sat down and asked.
"You still don't know about this, so why are you here?" asked Liu Wansu as he bit into the flatbread and drank water.
"We're here for the Cannibal Church. Luo Xiu said straight to the point.
"Cannibal church. I see, only a powerful summoner like you can control this matter. Anyway, senior, how old are you, although you look about the same age as us, you must have used some kind of rejuvenation drugs or something. Liu Wansu asked after respectfully bowing to Luo.
"I'm 18 years old. Luo Xiu said.
"I see, the seniors do... Wait, how old are you?" Liu Wansu almost choked on a mouthful of water.
"18Ah, and I'm really not a summoner, you can call me a sealer, or call me by my name. Luo Xiu hurriedly dodged away, so that he was not sprayed by Liu Wansu with a mouthful of water.
Liu Wansu looked at Lu Jiaying and Chen Lianna eagerly, as if he was eager for them to tell him that this person was lying to him, but Lu Jiaying and Chen Lianna both nodded.
"No, at the age of 18, you can summon such a terrifying guardian spirit, genius?" Liu Wansu looked like he was in a hurry.
"There are always people who like to use the word genius to negate my efforts, forget it, let's get down to business, do you know where the cannibal church is?" Luo Xiu shook his head with a wry smile.
"You know, the cannibal church is a nail in our hearts, and we have always wanted to get rid of this nail, but to no avail. After Liu Wansu ate and drank enough, he began to speak.
"This forest is called the Forest of Bones because all corners of the forest are covered with human bones, and these bones are all warriors sent by the kingdom. Liu Wansu frowned and glanced at the forest and said.
"No one knows how many monsters there are in the forest, once some people hid under the trees, but were swallowed up by the trees, and then spit out a pile of white bones, some people washed their hands by the river, but were dragged down the river by the two hands stretched out in the water, some people fell into the swamp, struggled to escape, and finally turned into a pile of white bones. ”
"I didn't ask you about the forest, I only cared about where the cannibal church was. Luo Xiu interrupted him, and then emphasized.
"The Cannibal Chapel, said to be in the deepest part of the forest, was once reached by an elite force of 100 men, but in the end only two escaped, one of whom was too frightened to speak, and the other, though still sane, lost an arm. Liu Wansu cleared his throat and continued to preach.
"The hero with the severed arm who survived told everyone that at the end of the forest there was a church, and it was like a building that had been abandoned for many years, full of debris and debris, and it was night, so they pushed open the door and went in, and they were eaten by the house, and the remaining two escaped. Liu Wansu didn't say anything when he said this, as if he was hanging their appetite.
"How was it eaten, what kind of monster is there, you can explain it clearly. Lu Jiaying saw that he was hanging his appetite, so he hurriedly asked.
"I'm done, I'm just eaten by the house. Liu Wansu said.
"What are you kidding, how the house eats people. Lu Jiaying said with a shocked face.
"I think Liu Wansu means that the house itself is a man-eating monster?" said Chen Lianna after a while.
"That's right, it's still this girl who is smart, and she can understand it at all. Liu Wansu snapped his fingers and stretched out his thumb and said.
"The house itself is a man-eating monster. Luo Xiu touched his chin and thought deeply.
"Then why not burn down the house or the forest?" Luo Xiu seemed to have an obsession with burning things.
"Alas, it is impossible to burn the forest successfully, and the monsters of the forest will come to put out the fire. Since that day, the kingdom has sent many troops into it one after another, but after that, before they even reached the church, they were wiped out by the forest, and the monsters in the forest seemed to suddenly increase, as if to protect the church. Liu Wansu sighed and said.
After that, no one dared to go to this forest, and the emperor had to give up, but he posted a bounty order, and whoever could solve the cannibal church would be named a general. Liu Wansu said.
"I see, so you're here for this?" Lu Jiaying looked at Liu Wansu and said.
"Of course not, I care about the people, and naturally I want to avenge the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country and remove this shadow for the people. Liu Wansu said righteously.
"Well, we all know that. Lu Jiaying nodded, but she didn't even believe half of his words.
"How about it, Luo Xiu, are you going? That's a general, enjoying endless glory and wealth. Lu Jiaying then looked at Luo Xiu and smiled evilly.
"I've already said it, I, Luo Xiu, came to the Cannibal Church just to seal the monsters in the depths of the world, even if there is no reward, I will resolutely move forward!" Luo Xiu stood up and said loudly.
"Okay, sure enough, there is heroic spirit, good brother, I will go with you, and if this church is terminated at that time, I will reluctantly take the position of general for you. Liu Wansu stood up and patted Luo Xiu's shoulder and made a cheering motion.
"No need, I see you're tired enough today, so let's rest here, I'll just go alone. Luo Xiu hurriedly waved his hand.
"Pull it down, you two, by the way, you said before why you should go to church at night. Lu Jiaying stood up and knocked one of them on the head.
"Yes, you have to go at night, because during the day, the forest is almost devoid of monsters, but you can't find the church at the end, it's like running on long legs, and it only appears at night. Liu Wansu explained.
"It's such an exaggeration? It's really a cannibalistic house, and it will go by itself. Lu Jiaying said with her mouth wide open.
"It's a real possibility. Liu Wansu said earnestly.
"So, don't go girls, just leave this kind of thing to us men, right, Luo Xiu. Liu Wansu said while holding Luo Xiu's shoulder.
"Who said we weren't going, we'd leave tonight. Lu Jiaying also stood up and said.
"Oh, when the time comes, we won't be able to take care of you when the monster eats you. Liu Wansu said in a terrible tone.
"You'd better mind yourself, you've almost killed yourself by a bunch of monsters today, huh. Lu Jiaying sneered.
"Hmph, you guys, you know what, you don't know how horrible that monster is. Liu Wansu's face turned red and white for a while, and he hurriedly explained.
"Are you here alone today?" asked Chen Lianna suddenly.
"Of course not, by the way, my fellows, you were eaten by those bloodthirsty treants, can you imagine? The treants will grab you, put their hands inside you, and suck the blood out of you. Liu Wansu is like grasping a life-saving straw to save his face.
"You can feel their minions reaching into your body and spreading to every part of your body, even if you cut off their hands, the branches in your body will not die immediately, you will slowly feel your blood being sucked dry, and you will slowly feel the passage of life. ”
"It's so scary, it's like you've experienced it yourself. Lu Jiaying said disdainfully.
"Of course I didn't, but my companion did, and I watched him lying in my arms, his eyes wide and trembling and twitching, telling me about his feelings and pain. Liu Wansu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and he recalled what happened to his companion.
"At first he could barely say a little, but later, no matter how much I called him, called him, hit him, he didn't react at all, and finally his body began to grow some branches, and came out of his eyes, nose, and ears, and I left him and fled. After Liu Wansu finished speaking, Lu Jiaying and Chen Lianna were silent, they could understand Liu Wansu's mood at this time, their friends were lying in their arms and dying little by little, and they couldn't do anything about the despair.
"Don't worry, tonight we will go and destroy the cannibal church, kill the monsters of this forest, and avenge your friends. Luo Xiu patted Liu Wansu on the shoulder, then looked at the forest and said.
