【Temple of the Ancestors】

[1st Tier (increases with the rank of the province)]

[Level: 1]

[Characteristics: Other rituals can be learned by learning]

【Sacrificial Pit: 0/30 (Unusable)】

[Affiliation: Survivor Camp No. 404]

[Status: To be repaired]

……

The Temple of the Ancestors is not an immediate class recruiting point, the main building inside needs to be repaired, and it's more of a monster production workshop than a recruiting building.

Cheng Shen recruited.

The figure in the blood-colored robe suddenly condensed in the empty hall, the robe mopping the floor, the surface was depicted with silver lines, its face was shrouded in the shadow of the hood, and only a pair of miserable white palms were exposed.

Bloody Alchemist.

Cheng Shen glanced at its attributes and found that this kind of unit had no combat ability, and its talent in other aspects was basically zero.

It has only one secondary skill.

Alchemy rituals.

Level 1 alchemy rituals can only transform petrified ancestors.

When you level up, you can unlock the Transformation Ritual for the Petrified Lord and the Guardian Golem.

The latter two.

They represent elite units and boss units, respectively.

And this ritual of making a petrified monster is not the same as the technical information of the flesh and blood demon puppet.

There is no need to use a lot of flesh as raw materials.

There are still merits.

Especially.

Cheng Shen thought about it.

Didn't he just need an orthodox puppet alchemy? Isn't this just delivered to the door......

Cheng Shen immediately opened the page to view the restoration needs of the temple of the ancestors.

500 stones, 500 wood, 300 iron ingots, 300 copper ingots and 100 gold ingots.

Although there are many basic materials in demand, they are basically available in the territory.

In addition, a main material is required.

Grave soil.

This is the material that can only be collected in the environment where the undead live.

But it is a low-level material that is not valuable.

It's easy to buy.

Compared to the magic theory books needed to build the magic academy, it was much easier to buy, and Cheng Shen only had one theory book now, which was given by the pure white penguin when he tried to buy him, and it took a full twenty copies to build.

Cheng Shen immediately asked people to prepare.

Soon.

A large amount of construction materials were transported to the temple of the ancestors.

Click on the option to repair, and countless materials suddenly turned into light and threw themselves into the temple, and the damaged top was quickly repaired, and the temple became towering again, and small houses stood around it.

The dark red moss that covered most of the ruins receded like a tide.

Call!

The flame of civilization was rekindled at the top of the Temple of the Ancestors.

Cheng Shen stepped into a hut.

The interior space of these huts built around the temple is very narrow, not for people to live in, less than two meters high, so that Cheng Shen has to keep his head down when he enters, and there is only a narrow black pit in the house.

The pit was made of burial mound, and the inside was carved into a human shape, like a coffin-shaped mold.

In fact.

It also functions like a mold.

A bloody alchemist drifted into the hut with his hands open, and Cheng Shen put the materials representing the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire into the sacrificial pit, and then poured a jar of beast plasma into it.

"Whew!"

Listening to the whimpering sound coming from the bloody alchemist's body, his hands drew red rays of light, as if weaving a large net, enveloping all the materials in the pit, and an evil aura immediately rose in the sacrificial pit!

Cheng Shen knew that it was the dark energy in the tomb soil that was stimulated.

There was no recklessness.

I saw a body covered with pale stone skin slowly forming in the sacrificial pit.

"It turns out that traditional alchemy is like this......"

Cheng Shen hesitated slightly.

He could read part of the description of the Flesh Demon Golem information, and roughly understood that the production of the Flesh Demon Golem was a combination of mechanical parts and flesh and blood tissue, and the production process was not only bloody but also quite cumbersome.

But the refining of this petrified ancestor in front of him is so simple.

These are two very different technologies entirely.

How to combine?

He thought about it too simply.

Cheng Shen pondered for a while, passed a few copies of the prescription he had already preset in his mind, and finally returned his gaze to the petrified ancestors in front of him.

The cost of refining such cannon fodder units is low.

Only four materials with different properties are needed, and these materials can be substituted at will, but any material that contains the four basic elements will do.

Plus add one standard unit of blood.

The better the materials used.

The more petrified ancestors are produced, the stronger the attributes.

The four materials he used for the first time were all high-grade materials, but the quality of his blood was poor.

The petrified ancestors made have the attributes of a level 15 ordinary unit.

Considered a qualified cannon fodder.

Beast's blood.

Easy to find.

This kind of low-level material can be purchased from survivors in large quantities by sending an order.

But quality blood is hard to come by.

The main reason is that it is difficult to preserve.

Blood deteriorates very quickly.

And the requirements of the refining and petrochemical ancestors can only be blood within three hours.

Cheng Shen thought about it, can you use your own?

The last thing he lacked was blood......

Let alone.

He has now been promoted to perfection as well.

It stands to reason that his blood itself is a high-grade material that is no less than a perfect material!

Immediately.

Cheng Shen re-selected materials for the refining of petrochemical ancestors.

He singled out one copy of each of the four elemental materials of three qualities: ordinary, fine, and rare.

It is made in different sacrificial pits.

The first ordinary refining, the result brought Cheng Shen a great surprise.

【Petrochemical Ancestors】

【Puppet】

[Grade: Excellent]

[Level: 15]

[HP: 9200]

[Mana: 3100]

[Attack: 343]

[Defense: 201]

[Magic Resistance: 196]

[Speed: 4]

[Talents: Petrified Skin, Alchemy Body]

[Skills: Pounce, Bite, Deterrence, Blood-devouring Power]

……

The quality bonus of blood directly promoted the petrochemical ancestors to become a sophisticated unit, and their attributes were improved in all aspects.

And in terms of skills.

This petrified ancestor actually inherited his profession of passive vampire!

And that's not what surprised him the most.

He then refined the fine and rare materials, harvesting a level 20 fine unit and a level 15 rare unit, respectively.

Not to mention their own talents and skill variations.

These two petrified ancestors actually obtained two completely different inheritance abilities.

An attack has burn attached.

An attack comes with chaos.

Although there is no complete reproduction of the power of the original skill.

But it can be clearly seen that their abilities come from his professional skills, Blood-Burning Poison and Septic Blood!

"Why is the effect random?"

Cheng Shen was not surprised that the petrochemical ancestors could inherit his professional ability.

Previously, he used Yusegra's blood to create magical equipment, which had the effect of attacking and devouring mana. That's when he learned that the proportion of properties in blood can easily affect the properties of other materials.

Of course, this effect is not necessarily good.

Therefore.

Magical mercury, which does not have the properties of the material in the choice of medium to depict the runes, is always higher than biological plasma.

The same is true for now.

Although these petrified ancestors inherited his abilities, they also caused the overall energy to be differentiated.

The base stats will be slightly lower than those of alchemy creatures of the same level.

However, inheriting the Blood ability is equivalent to giving them an additional skill.

It's definitely gotten stronger overall.

"And ......"

Cheng Shen's eyes moved slightly and looked at a petrified ancestor in front of him with a dark red body.

Maybe it's because it's made with its own blood.

Cheng Shen could feel that there was a special sense between this petrified ancestor and himself.

It seems that it only takes a thought to detonate it......

Rumble!

The petrified ancestor in front of him suddenly exploded into countless flying rubble, accompanied by a churning blood mist, quickly enveloping the surroundings.

Cheng Shen immediately made a move.

Keep the explosion within a certain range.

Then, his mind moved slightly, and the pervasive blood mist melted directly into his body.

- The first-level temple can only recruit thirty petrified ancestors.

Since rare units can be refined, other low-level petrified ancestors will of course have to be destroyed.

so as not to occupy a pit.

What Cheng Shen destroyed just now was a fine-level product.

He nodded quietly, although, the connection between him and the petrified ancestors refined by the Blood Sacrifice was not enough for him to directly control their actions.

But this ability to detonate remotely.

Not bad either.

Cheng Shen can release the poison of burning blood and the madness of septic blood through the blood mist he created, which can just cooperate with the self-explosion of the petrified ancestors, and once such means are used in group battles, they can basically determine the direction of a battle.

Moreover, the power of the explosion of these petrified ancestors is also terrifying.

With them, it is equivalent to, with a group of self-detonating infantry that can be "glorious" at any time.

This deterrent power alone is enough to terrify the enemy!

Immediately, Cheng Shen invested resources and directly refined all the thirty sacrificial pits of the first-level temple into rare-grade petrified ancestors.

In the blink of an eye.

He had thirty more combat units of the same level as Dameng.

"Tomorrow we can explore the second point of influence."

Cheng Shen glanced at the sky.

It's already dark.

It is too dangerous to move at night.

You might encounter something terrible in this forest.

……

The sky was pouring a light rain.

Foggy.

The cold raindrops seemed to burrow into the bones of the people with a chill feeling, and the iron-blooded soldiers who were hurrying through the forest were all wrapped tightly at the moment, and only the large group of dark red humanoid monsters that opened the way in front of them were not affected.

"It's autumn."

Cheng Shen raised his eyes and glanced at the sky.

After the negative resistance was high, he was no longer so sensitive to the change in temperature, but the arrival of this autumn rain made him realize something.

Winter is coming.

Inexplicable emotions swept away in the bottom of my heart.

Cheng Shen turned his head to look to the side, Arjieka who was following him was full of flames, and the raindrops were evaporated into mist before they could fall on her, but what caught his attention was that the mist was mixed with a trace of black gas.

"The world has been eroded too deeply by weirdness."

Cheng Shen's eyes condensed slightly.

Normal people, if they are exposed to this rain, I am afraid that it will not be long before they will be eroded by the strange aura and become a carrier of the transmission of cursed power.

"How the hell did the world become like this?"

Arjeka was also confused.

Hear the words.

Cheng Shen unconsciously recalled what Zhang Yao had mentioned to him in his mind.

He had seen the false kingdom of God in the mirror of twilight, and there was a door that opened a crack in the sky above that kingdom. All the strange substances, it seems, flowed out of that door.

"Door?"

Arjeka fell into deep thought.

It doesn't have to be a door, it could be something else, and the form of the door he mentioned is very abstract......

It's like a transcendent substance that I can't understand yet. ”

Cheng Shen explained.

"Your description is a lot like the Circle of Darkness...... The demons of the Dark Lands often use this method when they invade other planes. ”

Al Jaika Dao.

"You mean this world could have been invaded by other races?"

Cheng Shen's heart moved.

“……”

Arjeka shook her head in silence, and then said, "I can't be sure, but since you mentioned it, the door appeared in the kingdom of a god, and we may find an answer in that city." ”

"The source of the strange pollution comes from the gods, and the gods' responses to believers are mostly conveyed through her belief in the kingdom of God.

If the god of faith in the Old City is not dead.

Maybe.

We can get a glimpse of the truth in her divine realm. ”

Her words reminded Cheng Shen.

The mission description only mentions that the unbelievers stole the glory of the past, and they undoubtedly had a close encounter with the old god in the process.

Have they found the truth about the spooky pollution?

or

Is that what they're really for?!

Cheng Shen's mind suddenly turned irrepressibly.

"Then you won't have to go."

He said.

Arjeka tilted her head to "look" at him, but didn't speak.

"The danger in that city is not something that the two of us can deal with, and I am the only one who is cursed."

Cheng Shen said simply.

That city could trap even a group of terrifying transcendents, and Cheng Shen didn't think that Ardjeka could help him inside.

Of course.

If he hangs.

His realm will also be reduced to Borderlands without the protection of the system.

But until the borderlands are completely breached, the people of the territory will still be able to live.

If you're lucky, you might be able to turn it into a sanctuary......

"Your growth potential is limitless, and if one day you can transform into a complete body, maybe you can really solve the problems of this world."

Cheng Shen said.

"You don't look like you're going to give your last words in advance."

Arjeka said.

"Prevention is better than prevention."

Cheng Shen shrugged.

That's how he thinks about everything.

It may seem unfounded at times, but until he really faces the desperate situation of death, he may not let go of any survival.

"My lord, we're here!"

Da Meng from the front responded.

Cheng Shen stepped forward.

In the midst of the dense forest, a huge cave shaped like a skull bulged out of the ground.

Around the cave stand countless decaying warning signs.

The entrance to the cave has collapsed.

Large patches of dark red blood mixed with an indescribable aura seeped through the cracks in the stone.

This is the second point of influence that Cheng Shen wants to occupy.

Forsaken Mine.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
