Chapter 70: The Day of the Gods
The indigo cold light flashed, and the long axe in the black-robed man's hand slashed fiercely at the puddle of "silt".
At this moment, a writhing white thing suddenly came out of the mud.
It was a centipede-shaped monster made of a large number of miserable white arms, and the overall shape was extremely terrifying!
"Boom!" The monster slammed into the black-robed man's shield, and the black-robed man struggled and flew backwards with his body.
At this moment, the manhole cover behind the black-robed man suddenly flew up with a "bang", and a half-meter-thick wriggling "pipe" came out of the sewer, and the tip of the fleshy cavity directly wrapped the head of the black-robed man.
Chu Cheng's pupils contracted slightly, and the strange creature attacking the black-robed man at this moment was exactly - the face-eating insect!
The battle ended quickly, the black mud monster squirmed and faded away, and the inorganic body of the face-eating insect also retracted into the sewer.
In its place, only a faceless corpse remained.
That night, the same killings continued to play out in the dark streets until dawn came.
Chu Cheng saw that the crystal dome above the zenith was bright again, and the indigo light re-illuminated every corner of the city, making the darkness unrevisible.
All the monsters and black-robed people disappeared into the streets.
"Ah~ I slept so well." Dai'er on the bed woke up faintly and stretched hard, only then did she see Chu Cheng standing by the window.
"Sister wakes up so early?" Daile was sleepy-eyed and had a cute face.
Chu Cheng nodded, of course he didn't get up early, but he didn't sleep again after waking up in the middle of the night.
This night, the fighting in the outside world has never stopped, Chu Cheng listened to the sound of the fight like this, and thought for a long time.
First of all, Chu Cheng could conclude that the city he was in at the moment, which was covered by a crystal dome, must be located in the canyon world. However, the record of the canyon world in the 'Personality Storage Device' did not mention that there was such a city, so Chu Cheng couldn't determine where the canyon world was.
Secondly, the group of face-eating insects in the "hall" must have some kind of plan to force him into the light cluster that joins the canyon world. It must have been for the same reason that the people of the Eagle Regiment had to enter the canyon world.
As for why Dai'er was tampered with, and where the rest of the Eagle Regiment came from, Chu Cheng didn't know for the time being.
Finally, the Crystal Dome seems to exist to ward off the "darkness" outside, and even at night, a large number of monsters will appear on the streets of the town, including face-eating insects.
Chu Cheng couldn't help but guess the source of the "dark" power...... Or could the source of those monsters be the "Lord of the Face-Eating Worm - the God of Abundance"?
If so, then who built this city that sheltered the townspeople?
Chu Cheng shook his head, only feeling that there were too many puzzles deposited in his heart.
Chu Cheng took out the compass, and was stunned to find that the needle of the compass was actually out of order.
No matter what concept Chu Cheng meditated, the pointer would point to the dome above his head when he rotated.
"By the way, sister, you shouldn't remember. Today is Mushen Day. You are the awakened person of the 'Hero Template', and it stands to reason that you must participate. Dale was dressed, she was a little loose at the moment, and her petite body was wrapped tightly.
"Mu Shen Ri?" Chu Cheng frowned, he had never heard of this word.
Seeing that Chu Cheng was puzzled, Dai'er immediately explained to Chu Cheng the meaning of Mu Shenri.
"The city of Demacia, the city of Crystal, is a city of God, a refuge given by God to His people." Dale had a small face and a very serious expression, "On the monthly Day of Meditation, the gods will bless his people, and those who are chosen by the gods can become the awakened ones of the 'hero template'. Sister, you are the one chosen by God. ”
"Chosen by God?" Chu Cheng frowned slightly, he couldn't tell if Dai'er said these words based on her tampered memories or if they really happened.
At this moment, from the middle of the city houses, suddenly there was a loud sound of horns.
The sound of the horn was long and long, as if it was calling for something.
"It's the rallying horn, the ritual of the day of the god is about to begin, let's hurry over." Hearing the sound of the horn, Xiao Lori suddenly had a thrill all over her body, grabbed Chu Cheng and hurriedly ran outside the house.
His right hand was held tightly by Xiao Lori, Chu Cheng had no choice but to follow him, he also wanted to see the so-called Mu Shen Ri ritual.
"Is it a god who gives 'character templates'?" Chu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and his intuition told him that the so-called Mu Shen Day ...... There is likely to be a problem!
Chu Cheng followed Dai'er to the square in the center of the town, where many people had gathered at this moment.
"Are these people the natives of the canyon world?" Chu Cheng searched the crowd for familiar faces, hoping to find the members of the Eagle Regiment, but he found nothing.
"Yo, here?" At this moment, a rough and loud voice sounded from behind.
Chu Cheng turned around suddenly, but saw that the person who came was a middle-aged man with long hair, this person was full of scum, and a long sword was horizontal at his waist, giving people a very prodigal feeling as a whole.
"Don't be upset, Fiona. I've told you many times that the true meaning of kendo is happiness! Seeing Chu Cheng frowning, the corners of the visitor's mouth suddenly hooked up with an uninhibited arc, not like a mockery, but like an encouragement.
"Happy?" Chu Cheng frowned, Fiona was the name of his character template, and it was also his identity here.
"That's right, the secret of kendo is happiness! As long as I'm happy, even the wind ...... Can't catch up with my sword! The man said with a serious face, he casually waved the long sword with the scabbard attached to his waist as he spoke, Chu Cheng only felt a flash in front of him in an instant, but when he looked at it intently, the long sword on the man's waist was as usual.
Chu Cheng was very sure that the man had just drawn his sword, but he couldn't see it clearly.
At least, if Chu Cheng didn't open the zone, he couldn't see the trajectory of the man's sword.
"Happiness is like the wind, always with me." The middle-aged man said lines of shame and quickly walked away.
"Sister, that person just now, is also the awakened person of the 'Hero Template'. He's probably the highest-ranking stencil in town right now. Dai'er puffed up behind Chu Cheng, obviously quite dissatisfied with the middle-aged man's performance just now.
At this moment, from above the indigo crystal dome, a golden light suddenly poured out, and at the same time, a loud voice also resounded throughout the square.
