The sky was overcast and drizzling, and the field of vision was gray all except for the two soaring goshawks in the sky. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's been raining for three days. In the south-central part of the continent, the winter rain is a harbinger of cooling, yesterday it was still very hot, and after a rain, it can become a refreshing cold. If you change to a plateau area, the temperature will drop sharply, and even if you wear it thickly, the cold will penetrate into the cracks of your bones, like a knife suddenly stuffed into your hot arms.

At this time, a strange team was on the land of the Yadong Plateau, braving the cold and drizzle, and walking westward. There were 16 people in the team, all dressed in hats, gray cloth sheets, straw sandals and barefoot, and each of them carried a one-meter square on their backs, looking at a very heavy wooden box. In such bad weather, even ordinary people can see that they are extraordinary by wearing only single clothes.

The average age of these men was in their forties, and the older ones were about fifty or sixty years old, all of them with rough and dark skin, healthy and ruddy faces, and eyes as bright as stars.

They seemed to have been on the road for a long time, and the white straw sandals had become black and yellow from the mud on the ground, and some of them still had thin ice ballast hanging on their hats.

At noon, they took a dry pancake from the wooden box, ate it slowly, and then continued on their way.

There was still no one to speak during the whole process, and everyone was indifferent, as if there was nothing in heaven and earth that could move them.

In this way, they walked forward without hurrying, silent, without squinting, and their steps were aligned, like one person, and finally walked down the Yadong Plateau three days later.

"What's next?" A tall, clumsy-looking old man asked.

"Back to Master, twenty miles ahead, it is the territory of the Rus Empire!" A middle-aged man bowed and replied.

"Oh, then let's keep walking, and beg for food when we get to Ross!" The old man nodded and said softly.

"Okay, master!" The middle-aged man saluted and turned around.

If anyone who is familiar with the temple is here, they will be surprised, because the way these people dress and behave, it is clear that they are a group of ascetic sacrifices.

Ascetic sacrifices are the sacrifices in the temple with "asceticism" as a means of practice, and are regarded as the most devout servants of the "gods", who are self-controlled, self-tempered, reject the temptation of material and physical bodies, endure harsh environments, wear clothes, eat and beg, lie on the grass bunks, and carry out a series of "asceticism", some ascetic sacrifices, and even in the cold winter, barefoot, begging for food, walking like flying on the terrain of the Yadong Plateau.

Of course, not everyone would agree with or choose this method of "asceticism", so the number of ascetic sacrifices has always been relatively small, accounting for only one-fifth of the total number of temple sacrifices.

Thanks to the perennial training of "asceticism", each ascetic sacrifice is a person with a strong will, who is not only proficient in doctrine and jurisprudence, but also highly accomplished in martial arts. And because he is not afraid of life and death, he is extremely brave in battle, and he is also the best candidate for the temple enforcer.

Within the Temple, there are only two institutions that use force on a regular basis, one is the Templar Army, which is famous on the continent, and the other is the Inquisition that specializes in rebellious heretics. Among them, the Templar Army was numerous, and generally only a small number of divisions were made up of ascetic sacrifices, while the 2,000 members of the Temple Inquisition were all made up of ascetic sacrifices.

This strange team is a member of the Western Temple Inquisition, and the leader of the team is the person in charge of the Inquisition, the four-star red robe Sacrifice Wugong Yang. This time, they took action against the "Jiang Du Incident", and sent a total of 2 teams, each led by a four-star red-robed priest.

The temple sacrifice includes two kinds of red robe sacrifice and white robe sacrifice, of which the red robe sacrifice is a high-level sacrifice, responsible for presiding over the branch halls of various places, or holding some high-level positions, and the white-robed sacrifice is an ordinary sacrifice, mainly serving the high-level sacrifice and handling some simple daily affairs.

The red-robed sacrifice, according to the level of strength, is divided by stars, the one-star sacrifice is equivalent to the strength of the sixth-level warrior, the two-star is equivalent to the seventh-level strength, the three-star is the eighth-level strength, and the four-star is the ninth-level strength, as for the five-star sacrifice, not only the strength reaches the ninth level, but also the highest position in the temple, such as the hall master and the great priest of the four temples.

Usually, the number of four-star sacrifices in each temple varies, generally staying at about 15, plus the hall master and the main sacrifice, that is to say, the number of four-star sacrifices in the entire temple is kept at about 60 to 80 people, plus 400,000 powerful temple troops, it is completely possible to easily destroy any country on the mainland.

The temple is a transcendent force that the whole of Moya is deeply feared.

For Wugong Yang, a beast person is naturally not in his eyes, but a beast person who has awakened congenitally and can kill a ninth-level warrior is not so simple to deal with. He is 65 years old this year, began penance at the age of 25, entered the inquisition at the age of 30, and has been 35 years since then, in 35 years, he has been wounded 127 times, and has arrested as many as 1,000 rebels, among them, the most serious injury is the arrest of a beast.

At that time, Wugong Yang was only a one-star sacrifice, but the other party was a fourth-level innate wolf person, he and three companions stopped the wolf person in a forest, intending to capture him back to the temple, after all, this kind of innate evolutionary person has great value for the study of the temple.

Of course, the wolf-incarnate man would not be captured, so the two sides started a big battle in the forest, and the wolf-incarnate man did not carry out beast-transformation at first, and was soon captured alive. Wugong Yang tied the hands of the wolf man with a rope and drove him back to the temple, who knew that not long after leaving, the wolf man suddenly transformed, tore the rope, and took advantage of the fact that several of them were not paying attention, and killed a companion directly.

Seeing this, Wugong Yang and the other two pulled out their weapons and rushed towards the wolf-turning man, and the two sides fought again, the wolf-turning man's strength was too poor, and it didn't take long for him to become scarred. But just when they were about to kill the wolf man directly, the other party actually underwent a second beast transformation, directly turned into a giant wolf, and soon bit the two companions into serious injuries, Wugong Yang's neck was also severely injured, and several people were in danger. However, at this moment, Wu Gong Yang was calm-headed, and directly lured the giant wolf to the trap they had made in advance, and used the trap mechanism to finally kill the giant wolf.

Since then, he has realized that in the face of the huge potential of the evolved people, the seemingly powerful strength of the temple is actually no advantage at all, and in his heart, he has listed the innate beast as the opponent who poses the greatest threat to the temple.

What a long-awaited meeting! Wu Gongyang, who is in good spirits, has a strong fighting spirit in his heart.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in the northern part of the Moya Continent, a huge fleet of fifty huge ships sailed away from the dock of Fort of Rest in the cold wind and snow, and sailed silently towards the war-torn Moya Continent...... (To be continued.) )
