Chapter 683: The Secret of Eternal Life VIII

First of all, smashing transparent skulls is difficult and the benefits are unknown. It is better to find out more accurate and credible information from the Earth Mother God Cult to confirm whether St. Kosong is dead and whether the law of eternal life exists. This can be helpful for future research, and immortality may not be in turn, at least prolonging lifespan, which can be regarded as a tangible benefit.

And as the head of a faction, he understands how difficult it is to get a 'respectable' evaluation and win the respect of other strong people, there is no such person in the entire crocodile leader, and his mother-in-law is barely half of it. After all, it is not easy to hide those dirty things from the strong people of the same level around them. Then the judgment of such a virtuous person should be treated with caution no matter what.

In fact, we also claim to have an afterlife. But only a very small number of virtuous archbishops or holy ascetics are qualified to 'fall into the arms of Mother Earth Goddess'. The specific process is the secret death ritual mentioned earlier. And my enlightenment teacher was like that ten years ago. If the leader of this mission can return alive, he has already scheduled this ceremony.

But they all seem to believe it and take pride in it. To this day, I vividly remember the excitement and excitement of the Enlightenment Teacher ten years ago after confirming the qualifications for the ceremony. ”

Jiao Ming thought about it and probably figured out where the other party's doubts were. After making a glance with the Duke of Crocodile and exchanging a little in the local dialect of the Crocodile, he turned back to Simon and said, "What you have doubts about, the wise man you trust and revere is convinced. So you think they know more secret information?"

Simonck's silence seemed to be somewhat acquiescing.

Jiao Ming didn't wait any longer, and continued: "To tell you the truth, we also know very little about the ins and outs of the whole thing. But one thing is certain, the forces holding you back are very strong, and the chances of you completing the task are less than one percent. Even if you succeed, there is a more than 90% chance that no one will survive. That's why we're willing to let you go. ”

Hearing the assertion of mortality, ordinary people will choke back, but those who already have a premonition and awareness will only respond indifferently. Like Simon at this time.

"Given your determination, we intend to make a deal with you. ”

"Listen up. Simonck's eyes lit up.

"Your chief saint is suspected of being Saint Kozon, and we want to know more about him and can help you somewhat. But you obviously can't call the shots. In this case, you can match the bridge and let us talk to the leader of your operation. Of course, given the situation, it's inevitable that you will have doubts. But the way of dialogue is negotiable, and there are always ways to satisfy both sides. ”

Simon gets straight to the point. "What kind of help? A combat power above the Nine Rings?"

"Of course not. I'll just reveal some more to you. According to your leader, your actions were detected by the adversaries of Mother Earth. It's unfortunate that we are probably the minions of this pair, just trainee miscellaneous fish, and we have received orders and come recklessly with limited intelligence, otherwise we will be like everyone else, pulling a large number of people, not the two of us. ”

Simon looked at the two again: Slippery had no auxiliary equipment. I couldn't help but nod slowly, which was considered to be an endorsement of this statement.

"So, when everyone fights and finds that you outlaws have no choice, they will naturally seek some degree of unity, and we can collude. ”

Of course, Jiao Ming also understands that there are many insurmountable obstacles in this cooperation model, such as trust, timing, contact and so on. Speaking of which, seeing the other party's disapproving appearance, he was not annoyed, after all, the situation was that the other party was more anxious, but the conversation changed. "Again, as long as there is a desire for cooperation, there are always more ways than suffering, and everything can be discussed. You can just run errands and convey it, and whether your team leader agrees or not is another matter. And we'll share the information we get with you and let you know why you're dying. ”

"If I can find a team, I'm happy to do it. ”

Jiao Ming nodded. "Of course, this is also a problem, and it is obviously impossible to find a team with you, you are afraid that we will lead thieves, and we are also afraid that you will turn your face. So now you just have to give a good word, and we will still act secretly and wait for the opportunity. ”

"Good!" Simonk agreed, and the conditions were quite lenient for the captives.

Weng and his son-in-law looked at each other, confirmed that there was nothing else to talk about, and then worked together to heal Simonck's serious waist injury to the point of improper misconduct, and by the way, made a vague space marker. Then it is to retract the task terminal and move the position again, and the crocodile duke on the road maintains the middle position to prevent the rollover from being coerced. The path leads down the Ground Rift Canyon, returns to the previous position, and gets in touch with Master Emily again.

While getting basic supplies, it also gives Simon a makeover. After that, you may meet someone, and if the characteristics of the Earth Mother God Cult are too obvious, it is not easy to fool.

Simonk was very surprised that Jiao Ming was able to use qi magic here, but after trying it himself, he found that this was a weak area of spatial anchorage, so he also used coincidence to convince himself.

"You also have qi abilities?"

"It's only six rings, and how many rings are scrapped here. ”

Jiao Ming continued to ask in a casual tone: "In Greystone City, seeing that you have a good relationship with the underground alien race, you didn't ask about the situation of this core holy land?"

"The task is huge, and the information that should be gathered will naturally not be left behind. But he was still defeated by a coincidence, and was bumped into by the top of the Ifusen theocracy. "Simmond has apparently done a brief review of the whole thing.

"I know about this, do you want to hear it?"

"I don't have much information to exchange other than doctrine. ”

"It's okay in daily life, before you said that the Mother Earth God Sect solved the problem of food and clothing, I didn't believe it. Jiao Ming was still thinking about this.

In this way, Simon Ke also opened the conversation and chatted with Jiao Ming. The former is based on the teachings of the teachings of the Enlightenment Teachers, and the latter is based on cultural habits, and has a basic concern for the common people, and then some barriers are removed, and the more they talk, the more speculative they become.

In some basic concepts, Jiao Ming even has the illusion of meeting fellow villagers. And this is the feeling that I didn't have when I talked about the core concept with the crocodile duke and even the ice lotus.

After the verification of the side knocks, Jiao Ming also had a general understanding of the livelihood situation in the Mother Earth God Cult. First of all, although the solution of food and clothing is not what it seems, it does achieve the goal in a literal sense.

The Earth Mother God Cult actually communicated with the underground alien race many years ago, and reversed certain results from the 'Fungus Ball', relying on the mass production of mushrooms. When food is in short supply, it is distributed free of charge to the general population. Due to the limitations of medical care, there was no population explosion, so the relief system has not collapsed.

On the other hand, during the coldest part of winter, all churches gather nearby containers in semi-underground cellars for prayer, central heating and a small amount of communion. After all, in the winter season, there is nothing to do, and the people are happy to do so.

Although this kind of 'subsistence allowance' measure does not fundamentally solve the problem of people's livelihood, it is much better than the indifference of the United Kingdom and the deliberate crushing of the Ifusen theocracy.

Finally, Jiao Ming talked about Master Marr again, and Simunk rolled his eyes and thought for a while, saying that he had some impressions of this person, but he was not in the same diocese and did not know much, only that he was exiled in his early years for inappropriate remarks.

"Speaking of which, your religion's punishment for those who doubt the faith is unexpectedly light. ”

According to the teachings of the Chief Saints, it translates to the effect. Words are only the outpouring of the heart's thoughts, and the thoughts are the reflection of the real problems. Therefore, it is meaningless to just not let you talk, but not to solve the problem. ”

Jiao Ming pursed his lips, feeling more and more that this 'Chief Saint' was not simple. At the same time, according to his own view of history, he also felt more and more that there was a problem. In an agrarian feudal society with low productivity, it is impossible to build a paradise on earth, and there must be problems in some links, or there are additional support forces.

After thinking for a moment, he was about to continue chatting along the breakthrough, but the crocodile duke made a silent gesture and tilted his head to show that there was someone in front of him.

After a few breaths, Jiao Ming adjusted his breathing and heartbeat, and the other two were even more proficient. The entire area fell silent, except for the faint howling of the wind coming from nowhere.

After about three minutes, Jiao Ming finally faintly heard footsteps. First the occasional sound of rubble tumbling, then the footsteps of a man, then three people, a little inference will tell. The first one to be spotted was made the footsteps more noticeable because of the heavy load. And this heavy object, optimistically estimated, should be the wounded.

And then, a new question arises, what is the identity of this group of people? Without the sound of a tail flicking, it must not be an underground alien. If it is Simonck's accomplice, even if they have a good conversation just now, they should turn their faces. What if it's a small group of dwarves or the Ifsen theocracy?

Soon, the answer was revealed. After all, it is impossible to advance in the dark in this kind of canyon formed by the collapse, judging from the green reflected by the dim light of the magic lamp, this group of people is the small team of the Ifusen theocracy that does not have a good feeling. In the silence, it is impossible to deduce the state of mind from the tone, but there are two very heavy breathing sounds, either they are not water-based magic warriors, or they are injured.

"What do you say, your enemy?" asked the crocodile duke.

Simon squinted and took the lead a moment later, consciously taking on the role of striker. "Absolutely. ”

"Self-preservation, listen to my commands. The crocodile duke whispered again,

Jiao Ming had no choice but to nod. Three-on-four does have a chance, and although Simunk is an unstable factor, even if this cargo escapes, it will not lose anything. As for the defection, it is obviously impossible.

In this way, Jiao Ming also found a good position, and when the target walked into the area below, he cooperated with the killing. After a while, the target passed by without noticing, and Simonk flew straight down, followed by the crocodile duke, and Jiao Ming lay on his stomach and stood by.

Simon was affected by new injuries and old injuries, and his combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. Although he was the first to strike, he did not take the lead because of the sneak attack, and he was beaten into the rock wall by the cooperation of the two green-robed bishops. If it weren't for the crocodile duke, I'm afraid he would have to explain here.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, the crocodile duke also saw the strength of the other party clearly, and felt that this attack was a big bargain. First of all, there were only four people in the team, and the one who was carried was not a wounded, but the remains of an underground alien race, and its usefulness was self-evident.

Secondly, among these four people, only two of them cooperated to fight back against Simonk's water magic warriors, one with nine rings and one above the nine rings. The other two are earth and fire. Although it is impossible to tell whether it is the ninth ring or above the nine rings, if you are close to it in this environment, you are already a dead person.

In the end, the four of them were more or less injured, and there was no fierce fighting spirit in their expressions.

It's hard to lose this battle. Next, the crocodile duke exchanged injuries for injuries, dismantled the two water magic warriors who cooperated tacitly, and kicked the one of the nine rings to Simonck's side, obviously to let him deal with it.

And this side is one against three, and it is not left behind. Circling around the earth and fire systems, preventing them from forming an effective cooperation, he exchanged injuries for injuries again, smashed a gap in the condensate barrier, and smashed a handful of gravel into his hand for a long time.

If there is qi magic, under the protection of arrow protection magic, this trick of children fighting is a joke at all. But this time, it was obviously different, only two terrible screams were heard, not only the small blazing white fireballs that continued to fly out were dumb, but the condensation barrier was also significantly weakened, and the figure inside could almost be seen.

"Come down and fight. The crocodile duke shouted, and at the same time received a punch and a kick from the opponent's nine rings, fortunately, he could divert his attention in time to block the follow-up attack. And these two blows barely avoided the vital point, and the impact was not great. But he was also forced out of the way of two ranged attackers.

Jiao Ming, who had been paying attention to the battle situation, immediately let go of the rock wall and fell freely, considering the difference in the threat between the earth and fire systems, he had already chosen the latter as the target of attack. And with a bang, Jiao Ming took advantage of the falling speed to slam his feet on the condensate barrier.

I thought that this thing would shatter in response, but I didn't expect it to be just a small cracked area, but my feet hurt as if they were broken. Secretly scolded the turtle shell, but Jiao Ming had no choice but to condense all the magic power of the water system into his fists and start smashing. In his heart, he prayed that the fire system was seriously injured enough, and if he sent a fireball to himself, he would never be able to bear it.

"Watch your step. ”

The crocodile duke's voice came, and Jiao Ming was stunned for a moment to remind himself, only then did he notice that where his feet were stepping on, the condensation actually showed signs of softening, as if it was mud. If you are trapped in your feet and neck by this thing, and you have a shooting hole in the center, you will not be roasting a bird.

Such a bad idea crossed his mind, Jiao Ming only felt a chill under his crotch, and quickly jumped off the already hemispherical condensate barrier, and punched out again, but it was easy to hit a large crack.

'Different positions have different hardness!' Jiao Ming immediately realized that the other party's state was really bad enough, and his housekeeping skills only needed to be searched with deductions.
