Volume 1 Eternal Life in Fire Chapter 44 The Plains of Dead Ashes
Even in such a harsh environment, time flies, and the Rebellion has taken full control of the Tarun region, except for the captives who have been controlled, there is no longer a free blood servant in this land, and Apocalypse and Vivi, as well as the newly joined trio of Kazan, have packed their bags and are ready to go to the Dead Ash Plains south of Bellows Mountain to become the advance party to liberate the Dead Ash Plains.
Kazan set up his carriage and drove slowly along the main road south of Taren, and the route they chose was to go around the foot of the bellows, because according to Kazan's intelligence, that direction was the weakest point in the Dead Plains.
"Apocalypse, you come to see this. Vivi held a copy of Gustavo's collection and sat in the carriage calling for the apocalypse.
Apocalypse took the book and glanced at the cover, which read "Exploration of the Formation Principle of Crystallized Seeds".
As we all know, crystallized seeds are formed in the process of prismatic explosions, and the survivors who have been baptized by crystalline energy will have a part of the nature of the crystal embryos, which leads them to absorb crystal energy in the air, and the author suspects that this is the operating mechanism of crystallized seed power. Vivi sums up the core content of the whole book.
"What year was this book written?" Apocalypse is not focused on that.
"Nine hundred and twenty-two years. ”
"It's too old, I remember before the World Destroying War, the latest research was that crystals could enter the bloodstream of humans, eventually changing the nature of the heart, and the direct result was that their heart became like a giant prismatic piece. ”
"Wow, that sounds scary, I don't want to have a heart like that. Vivi pursed her lips.
Kazan, who was sitting in front of the car, interjected: "Hehe, how many people don't have a chance to become crystallized seeds, almost all the leaders of resistance organizations everywhere are crystallized seeds, and crystallization equals strength." ”
"That's not as powerful as our apocalypse. Vivi disagreed, "By the way, Kazan, do you know how the blood-giving ritual is done, if the Apocalypse can also give blood to the rebels, then doesn't that mean we can also raise an army of blood servants." ”
Apocalypse also came to be interested when he heard this, indeed, at present, the human race is fighting against the blood servants, mainly relying on firearms to fight positional warfare, once the opponent's stronger single combat force intervenes, the situation will become one-sided, which is also the reason why the resistance organization has been defeated, relatively, if there is a stronger crystallized species in any region, the situation there will become much better. Therefore, if the Apocalypse can successfully give blood to the rebels, then the combat power of the human race will be significantly improved.
Kazan rubbed his knees and said helplessly: "Gustavo just needs my alchemy, and he didn't give me too much permission, and the blood giving ceremony is definitely not allowed to be watched by a human, so I don't know how to do it." Shhhhh ”
Apocalypse didn't move, and asked, "Do you need to find a way to get through?" What if you kill the Blood Servant and attract the attention of the embers?"
"Hey, don't worry, the management system of the Blood Servants is very loose, and it is not even as good as the Resistance Organization, in a place like the Dead Ash Plain, where the Resistance Organization is still active, it is not surprising that a Blood Servant is dead, and their direct superiors will not only not report it, but will deliberately conceal it. ”
"Why?" asked Vivi curiously.
"That's a long story, first of all, you have to understand the system of blood servants, the lord is directly given blood by the dragon, their strength is the closest to the dragon, and they have the ability to directly control the elements; So you understand, don't you?" explained Kazan at length.
"I understand what? You still haven't said why they're hiding it?"
"Hey...... Why are you so stupid, I mean, the low-level blood servants are just consumables for the higher-ups, and if they die, they just need to make another batch, but if there are rebels in the area managed by a centurion, and they also cause losses, then he will be punished. Therefore, even if we kill a few blood servants, the centurion here will only choose to suppress this matter, if there is no follow-up, forget it, if the rebels are found, we must solve it without alarming the above, it's as simple as that, Your Excellency Apocalypse must have understood a long time ago. ”
The old man of the apocalypse blushed, and did not directly say that he did not expect this aspect at first, in order to hide his embarrassment, he jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the lonely and humble sentry, just as he had just woken up.
The Bloodservants of the Dead Ash Plains were already clearly different from the Tarun region in appearance, their faces were even paler, and even if they were not alienated, two fleshy protrusions were faintly visible on their heads, which were the rudiments of horns.
When the low-ranking blood servants in the sentry saw Apocalypse coming, their eyes suddenly changed color and turned into golden vertical pupils, and they immediately saw Apocalypse's face clearly.
"Humans, ...... from Talen," muttered the lead one.
"Kill it directly, how can a normal person come to the Dead Plain from Talen, he must be rebellious. The other didn't even bother to interrogate.
"No, ask him, I remember the captain seems to have said that the prismatic convoy in the Tarun area has been overdue for a long time, is something happening?"
His idea was right, if the prism in the Taren region was to be given to the Lord of Flames, it would have to pass through the Dead Ash Plains from the north, and now that the Liaoyuan had controlled Talen, there would naturally be no prism to send there.
Apocalypse wore a black cloak and walked towards the sentry step by step, and several blood servants inside came out to stop him.
"Hey, human, where did you come from, where are you going?"
Apocalypse didn't answer, but asked, "Where is the nearest village?"
"Now it's Lao Tzu asking you, I don't know if you're alive or dead. The lead Blood Servant pulled out his pistol and pressed it against Apocalypse's jaw.
"It doesn't matter, I wasn't expecting your answer. Apocalypse replied expressionlessly, and before the other party could react, he directly stretched out his right hand and pinched his neck, and then his figure flickered, and punched each of the blood servants, each fist landed on their abdomen, bringing a burst of flames through their bodies, and now killing some low-level blood servants is as easy as mowing grass for Apocalypse.
Kazan turned out of the back of the mountain road with the carriage, and Vivi also got out of the carriage to join the apocalypse.
"Huh, all of these sentry posts are equipped with sniper rifles?" Vivi was surprised.
Apocalypse also noticed this, adding, "That's right, I just noticed that the first part of their alienation is the eyes, and I speculate that they have a special preference for long-range shooting, Kazan, do you know what's going on?"
The lewd young man patted his head and suddenly said: "Yes, yes, yes, I suddenly remembered that Gustavo once said that Ember is a powerful sniper, and he said that even he himself could not stop the guy's shot." ”
