Chapter 760: Swamp of Doom

Chapter 760

"That's a shame."

The crystal dragon shook his head unwillingly, and handed Zhao Mu a magic map of the main plane.

Zhao Mu took the map and turned to leave, teleporting directly to the front line through the Pantheon.

He needs to make his way through the battlefield and then secretly infiltrate the rear of the church.

This is a very dangerous action, and if it is discovered, it will fall into the siege of a large number of demigods.

However, this is not a problem for Zhao Mu at all, he just left the Cataclysm Raven on the battlefield to secretly absorb the power of death and calamity, and he has used the Night Stealth Technique to quietly sneak into the rear of the church's battle line through the shadows of the void.

Zhao Mu had thought about whether to go directly from the shadow plane.

In the end, he underestimated the bad impact caused by the Night Blade back then, and the gods were very taboo about the shadow plane, and they were very afraid of the appearance of a shadow life like the Night Blade again, so they joined forces to refine a high-level artifact for the shadow plane.

Shadow Puppet, a high-level artifact-level alchemy puppet.

According to conservative estimates, the combat effectiveness is at the third level of the godhead, which can be said to be the biggest threat to the city-states of all nations.

Purely from the perspective of combat power, it is enough to sweep the main plane of the city-states of all nations, but in fact, this cannot be done, because the core of the shadow war puppet is a mythical level shadow life, of course, it is far inferior to the night blade and does not give birth to wisdom, and is captured by the gods as the soul core of the alchemy war puppet.

Due to the peculiarities of shadow life, it is impossible to leave the shadow plane.

Even in the shadow plane, it is itself in a state of long-term self-sealing, and it is very difficult to use it once.

Because the shadow plane is too dangerous, it is possible to randomly give birth to mythical shadow life at any time, even if this kind of life may only exist for a short time before disappearing, the gods still will not let the shadow war puppet activate at will to avoid encountering a fatal crisis.

The real role of the shadow war puppet, Zhao Mu guessed that it was likely to be to guard against the night blade.

Although the gods plotted the Night Blade through the Book of Lies, none of the gods saw the Night Blade die with their own eyes.

The existence of that level, who dares to say that it is really dead?

Now that the shadow puppet is sleeping in the shadow plane corresponding to the temple of the god of chaos, Zhao Mu doesn't want to try to see if he will be discovered if he casts the night stealth technique near the shadow puppet, if he is discovered, he will not want to enter the shadow plane easily.

The Lake Empire, one of the most chaotic empires on the main plane, Zhao Mu decided to use this as his first stop.

The swamp of doom, where the imperial capital of the Lake Empire is located.

Zhao Mu appeared at the edge of the swamp, changed into assassin's clothes and put on a mask, and walked towards Dragon Crocodile Town.

In all four directions of the swamp, there are four small towns that can go to the imperial capital.

Before he got closer, he could already see dead bodies hanging from the rudimentary wooden fence walls of Dragon Crocodile Town.

The sky was full of swamp crows, swamp vultures pecked at hanged carrion on the city walls, and a few dirty guards sat at the gates of the city, drinking muddy wine and playing with gambling equipment called the Abyss card.

The caravans entering and exiting the city gate consciously threw piles of magic stones in the rattan baskets of the city gate.

It's hard to imagine that this would be a transit point to an imperial capital.

However, in fact, it is true that the Lake Empire is the empire of the evil gods, and although the main plane has the absolute upper hand in the temples of the gods, the evil gods occupy more than sixty percent of the land in the main plane. It's just that the cultists of the evil gods occupy dangerous places like the Swamp of Doom.

Although the environment is harsh and poor, the resources here are better than the rich forests and plains.

The belief zone of the gods, but all believers who commit crimes will be banished to the territory of the evil gods, and then from time to time the church will organize an expedition against the evil, and the believers of the evil gods will often slaughter the city in the faith area of the gods.

The two sides have been at war for countless years, and now they are forming an alliance because of a common threat.

It is precisely because the church no longer levies that the gates are so loosely guarded.

It stands to reason that wars are raging, and the front line is losing and retreating without spoils, and the caravans are supposed to transport the goods of the swamp of doom to the front line, but these merchants who have rushed from the front line are all carrying full loads of goods.

Zhao Mu followed behind the caravan and paid the entrance fee to enter the dirty Dragon Crocodile Town.

There are very few houses in the town, but there are many hotels and shops.

On the other side of the town bordering the swamp, caravans that had finished repairing the town went to the edge of the swamp to rent dragon crocodiles, giant beasts in the swamp, and unloaded the goods on the wagons and put them on the back of dragon crocodiles.

Zhao Mu has long known what these commodities are.

The answer is man, or a believer in the gods.

In the belief area where the gods were destroyed by the city-states of all nations, the devout believers have long since ascended to heaven, and the rest are abandoned believers, but if these believers choose to change their faith, the demigod believers of the evil gods will arrest these believers who have betrayed their faith and send them to the areas occupied by the evil gods.

In a sense, they were abandoned by their own gods and sold them to evil gods.

was sold by the gods they believed in, although this is also to blame for their ungodly beliefs, and even more to blame the gods for treating believers as lambs and giving them away at will, but in the final analysis, it is because they are not strong enough to passively bear the control of others.

Zhao Mu looked at the men, women, and children who collapsed in despair one by one in the cages, what was the difference between the humans in the Dawn Continent and them.

If it can't be changed, the fate of the human beings in the Dawning Continent will be worse than these people sooner or later.

"What does the god of doom want to do?"

Zhao Mu was puzzled.

The belief in evil gods mainly comes from two parts, usually negative beliefs such as fear and despair and their respective priesthoods.

Just like the god of doom, he can absorb the negative emotions such as fear and despair of all intelligent beings, and can also control bad luck, as long as all intelligent beings in the main plane have natural bad luck caused by bad luck, they can naturally give birth to faith and be absorbed by the god of doom.

These trafficked believers can indeed generate a lot of negative emotions such as fear.

But does the god of doom lack this faith?

He has no lack, is it not faith, is it sacrifice?

Evil gods like to sacrifice, but the sacrifice that the god of doom likes is to sacrifice the strong, or to directly sacrifice the gods.

Zhao Mu found a caravan and paid some magic stones to hitchhike.

Sitting on the huge back of the dragon crocodile, Zhao Mu listened to the conversation of the businessman.

Although the gods are losing and retreating in the main plane, they are all destroyed in the subordinate faith areas, not in the most core belief areas of the main plane, these core belief areas are shrouded in the power of the gods, and the future is also the core of the gods on the earth.

Because of this, it is not easy for even the strengthened Void Eye to see through it.

Now that there is the threat of the Thousand-Eyed Demon Queen, it is inconvenient for Zhao Mu to use the Eye of the Abyss at will.

Anyway, no matter what is in it, just look at it with your own eyes, the God of Doom was originally his target in the top few, and he was an evil god who was isolated and helpless, not to mention, he could also plunder the power of the God of Doom to evolve his Calamity Demon Pupil.
