What the hell is this?

The strange sticky black substance turned into a hideous snake head, revealing a piece of sharp teeth when it opened its mouth, and the pitch-black neck stretched out more than ten meters at once as if it were wriggling, and directly opened its mouth to bite the Suzi fish in mid-air. At this time, the fat woman below actually maintained the ability to move, most of her head was crooked, and she could still hold the black book in her hand, and emitted a crimson flame in the strange chanting sound.

- "Psionic Protection Field!" ”

Su Ziyu chose to resist the fireball head-on, and at the same time swung his sword and slashed at the black snake that was transformed by human pus.

A strange sticky sensation came.

It's not the feeling of chopping flesh and blood, the Meteorite Long Sword is actually stuck in it, and when I want to pull it out, I feel a huge pulling force, this is a substance that Su Ziyu can't understand, it seems to have a unique activity and thought, and it can keep changing its shape, and even some black viscous substances spread little by little like blood vessels, it seems that it wants to climb down the sword body to Su Ziyu's body.

Cracking sound!

A faint golden arc jumped on the Meteorite Longsword, and in an instant, the snake head made of black substance let out a miserable scream, and the black viscous liquid that made up his body suddenly evaporated, and the spreading black veins were instantly retracted.

This doesn't eat much physical damage!

Su Ziyu felt that its body was a bit like black asphalt, and the sword cut had no texture at all, and the damage caused was quite limited.

In contrast, psionic lightning can directly evaporate the black matter that makes up its body, and after evaporation, he can even hear a faint wailing and screaming in his ears, which is the perception brought by spirituality, and the human pus contains countless evil thoughts and desires, and may even devour the souls of many evil spirits.

Smack.

The figure of Suziyu fell from the sky.

The strange black snake that had been transformed by the man's pus shrank back again, hovering over the fat woman's head, and reverted into a hybrid form of a rat and a snake.

This thing is much more difficult to deal with than the tentacles of the aberration.

Su Ziyu carefully pulled away a little distance, and then carefully observed the fat woman in front of her, there was still human flesh and blood under her crooked head, and those black substances spread out automatically like abscesses, but now a slight red light has appeared in the enemy's pupils, and even looks a little crazy, it is the kind of expression mixed with greed and killing, she roared in a low voice, and a fire actually appeared on the surface of her body, and she pounced directly towards Su Ziyu, as if she wanted to capture him.

How could Su Ziyu let her hold it, just that pile of fat and fat was already unacceptable, and she would definitely have no appetite to eat today if she was hugged like this.

The host of human pus should be this obese woman.

It is a little difficult to completely clean up the pus of the person, but it should be much easier to solve this fat woman, Su Ziyu avoided it one by one, and at the same time instantly stabbed the opponent in the abdomen with a sword, the fat on the enemy's body is too much, and it is not easy to judge the location of the kidneys.

Clang.

The black human pus began to surge again, actually wrapping the enemy's fat body, defusing part of the attack, and at the same time, a pale claw-like limb extended from the lower abdomen of the black snake, directly grabbing Su Ziyu's head.

A crackling flash of lightning emerged.

With two screams sounding, Su Ziyu moved and cut horizontally, and after evaporating some of the human pus, he instantly swung his sword and slashed at the enemy's head.

Poof.

A surge of blood gushed out.

As a head flew up, the man's pus also quickly shrank, turning into a puddle of black water and spilling on the ground, which had vaporized and dissipated in the blink of an eye.

All that remained was a fat, headless corpse.

"Gain 3 Source Power."

The fat woman had been killed by Su Ziyu, but the remaining human pus didn't know where it went, and it seemed to have dissipated in this world.

- "The Sacred Book of the Dark (Strange Things): A sacred book that contains some dark secrets, and after reading, you can cast a dark magic force. ”

Su Ziyu beckoned, and the black book fell into his palm.

He flipped through it casually, and suddenly there was a warning from the spirit, this is a book containing evil powers, and there is nothing peculiar in itself, that is, the cover is a bit like human skin, and the things recorded on it are also very weird, it is actually a storybook, roughly describing a strange existence called 'Eldritch', he is called the Devourer, a monster that likes to eat people.

The more Su Ziyu looked at it, the more frowning he became.

Aldredge began as a priesthood who was corrupted by something called the fire of sinful karma and eventually became a man-eating demon.

Such an existence, in the normal world, should be directly eliminated by people.

But here he ended up being king!

- "Salary King! ”

The story recorded in the entire secluded canon is incomplete, as if a part is missing.

There is only one reason why Eldredge can be crowned king, and that is because he performed a ritual called 'Passing Fire', and then he received the title of 'Phantom Sage', becoming a special being enshrined by the Church.

"Can this monster also be called a sage?"

Su Ziyu closed the secluded holy book in front of him, feeling that the world he entered this time would probably be very troublesome.

When reading this book, his spirit had a faint sense, vaguely seemed to see a puddle of black silt-like terrifying existence, if he activated the spiritual vision at this time, he might see more, but he already had a lot of past experience, and knew that now was not the time to turn on the spiritual vision at will.

The fat woman lied to him.

She didn't serve the Mother of Rebirth, but the monster called Eldredge, a demon who was very fond of cannibalism.

Why, exactly?

Let the humans of this world be willing to serve such a terrible monster? And call Him King? Enshrined as a saint?

Su Ziyu turned around and entered the library in front of him.

He skipped over the other books and began to search for information related to the 'Salary King', while flipping through the items that might have recorded a connection to the 'Fire Transmission' ritual.

Little by little, time passed.

Su Ziyu stayed here for most of the day unconsciously, and after flipping through the well-preserved books in the entire library, he roughly knew something about this world.

The records inside are incomplete.

The first thing that can be determined is that there are gods in this world, and the god-king is a guy named Gwen.

But don't worry too much about Suziyu, because this guy has already been burned.

If you burn it, you won't be corrupted, right?

Gwen is a god of the First Fire Age, and it is said that this world was originally a darkness, and in the chaos there were only immortal ancient trees and dragons, and I don't know when the first flame was born, and all the differences were born.

Life and death, light and darkness, time and space......

Originally born from the dark sludge, the species were attracted by the flames and automatically converged to the flames, and received the original King Souls: Gwen, the first god, Nit, the first Tomb King of the Dead, the witch of Chaos Izaris, and a forgotten dwarf.

In the Age of First Fire, the three kings who had obtained the supreme power of the First Fire began to join forces to deal with the Immortal Elder Dragon, they obtained the immortal secret of the Immortal Ancient Dragon from the excluded Scaleless White Dragon Hiss, and launched a war against the Immortal Ancient Dragon, the Tomb King Nite released the miasma of death, which brought the world's initial death and corrupted the dragon scales of the Immortal Elder Dragon, the witch of Izaris released the flames of chaos and burned the ancient tree where the Immortal Ancient Dragon lived, and Gwen distributed the strongest Light Thunder Sun King soul to his subordinates, Let his subordinates gain the power of thunder and lightning, and serve as the backbone of the destruction of the immortal ancient dragon.

And so the oldest rulers were wiped out.

The age of fire has begun!

For a long time, the world was full of life and developed a brilliant civilization.

Gwen is the origin of this world's gods.

However, he is a little different from the gods that Su Ziyu knows, the gods of this world live with humans, a bit like the gods of Northern Europe, they rule over everything in the world.

A long, long time has passed like this.

I don't know when, the power of the flames began to weaken.

In order to continue the era of fire, the Sun King - Gwen distributed the power of the king's soul to his subordinates, and then put his body into the initial fire as firewood, which was used to strengthen the power of the initial fire and continue the glory of this era.

That's when the term 'salary king' was born.

For thousands of years after that, in order to continue the power of the first fire and prevent the world from being swallowed by darkness, generations of kings were burned into the first fire as firewood, and this world has continued to this day.

The materials in the library are incomplete.

Much of the information about the First Fire Era has been lost, little information about the gods remains, and the records of the fire-spreading rituals are incomplete.

Suzi fish is only one thing certain.

If you are chosen as the 'salary king', no matter what kind of things you have done or how evil you are, you will gain a very high status and be worshiped by people, even if it is only on the surface.

But.

If the chosen 'Salary King' is unwilling to fulfill his mission and does not go to the fire festival to perform the fire ceremony on his own, then some undead people will come to them and bring their heads back directly as firewood for the ceremony. This ritual has been performed many times in the past, with some payholders going there on their own initiative and others passively taking them away.

Although the ritual of spreading fire is still going on, the world is still decaying and degenerating.

The power of the Initial Fire gradually waned.

This is like a lingering breath, and now this is the situation that Su Ziyu sees now, there is not even a living person around, all of them are wandering living corpses, and the rest have become all kinds of monsters.

Su Ziyu is now a little suspicious that there are any normal living people in this world.

When the bell rings.

The ritual of passing the fire began, and when Su Ziyu first woke up, he heard a strange bell, and there were no big bells around this church.

The power of the flames is getting weaker and weaker, and the number of undead is increasing.

That's what Suziyu knows so far.

However, there are many things that he doesn't know very well, such as where the ghost thing like human pus comes from, and why he will lose his humanity after entering this world.

There are no answers in this library.

Instead, there is a kind of thing called 'gloomy' that is recorded in it, and there are many terrifying horror stories, and the members of the church are also very strange, they can actually gain the ability to cast spells by reading these stories that record the horror of the past.

Is this an idealistic faith?

Substituting yourself into those horrible things to gain some of their special powers?

Completely incomprehensible.

Su Ziyu can't get any spell-casting ability by reading the secluded holy scriptures, at most, he feels creepy, and he has a feeling of chill in his back, probably because he doesn't believe in any seclusion at all.

The vicinity of this monastery is a wilderness.

Further away was shrouded in a gray mist, and the entire monastery was not very large, and no difficult monsters were found, except for the fact that there were many graves. Su Ziyu went back the same way and killed the living corpses who were kneeling, they were slow to react, and pounced with ritual daggers, and they were easily killed. There was no spiritual reaction on the altar, and the most powerful thing in the entire monastery was probably the monster dressed as a bishop, and the old lady who brought him here.

"Looks like we'll have to explore around."

Su Ziyu stood on the top of the mountain and looked ahead, and could vaguely see that there were more towering mountains in the distance, and there were no human towns and villages at the foot of the monastery, but there were tombstones scattered in the distance, which were very old, and I don't know how many people were buried.

If he counted a little, there were thousands of tombstones in the vicinity.

There was a time when many people should have been buried in the vicinity, as the tombstones looked like they had been buried around the same time.

Let's find out if there are any normal living people!

If there are no more normal living people in this world, then Suziyu will have to reposition its difficulty.

Take a few books with you.

There are some gold and silver utensils in the monastery, but Su Ziyu didn't take it because he took up space, and many things have rotted, and he didn't find anything special when he turned around, that is, he picked up a 'priest's soul that was about to dissipate' along the way.

It seems that souls in this plane can really be picked up on the side of the road.

No other oddities were found.

The weapons are relatively ordinary, most of them have rusted and cannot be used, and it should be a long time since outsiders have been here. In addition, Su Ziyu also found that there was basically no food in the entire monastery, and there was no cellar inside, only abandoned bones and thick dust, and there was a circle of land outside the monastery, but no crops were planted, only dozens of scattered tombstones.

"Don't they all have to eat?" Su Ziyu shook her head, not remembering what the old lady was cooking in the pot.

It doesn't feel like a good thing.

It's getting dark.

Just when Su Ziyu was about to leave this monastery and go out to have a look, suddenly a figure carrying a big sword appeared in his sight, it was a slightly thin looking man, his physique was relatively tall, estimated to be more than two meters, but there was no flesh on his body, he was wearing a pointed high hat, and a metal armor under the gray cloak, after leaning over slightly towards Su Ziyu, he suddenly reached out and pulled out the big sword behind his back, and said slowly: "Unknown king!" ”

"Greetings from Hawkwood from Fran! ……”

Wisps of fire appeared on the great sword in his hand, accompanied by a heavy sense of oppression, and the man approached step by step, and said in a deep voice, "As a fireless ember, please allow me to take your head." ”
