Chapter 363: The Deranged High Priest
Wooden bonfires crackled in the caves, ragged crowds sat in the caves, some knelt in prayer before a mural, and healers applied ointment to the wounded.
"Hiss......"
The blade flipped through the wound, making the brave man tremble.
"Bear with me."
The man with an ordinary face reminded without raising his head.
He skillfully used a knife to peel off the rotten meat, took out a deflated iron box from his arms, and took out a piece of black paste ointment and smeared it on the wound of the strong man.
"Thank you."
The strong man said in a low voice with a pale face and sweating profusely.
The man got up and left without saying a word, there were a lot of wounded tonight, and he was still busy.
"Our fellow travelers have created a chance for us to escape with their lives, and we should remember their names! Remember today's shame! But all this was caused by the defection of a coward! ”
The woman in the gray robe exclaimed with anger on her face.
"Bring him up!"
From the depths of the cavern, two cultists pressed out a man with a withered, deranged face, his hands and feet bound in heavy chains, his shoulder blades pierced by two iron thorns, and half of his body was stained red with blood.
"Cudo! Why did you betray us! ”
Adele said angrily.
"Hey, hey......" The traitor named Cudo smirked, drooling from the corners of his mouth, "Believe in the Blood God...... Gain eternal life...... We'll never be able to escape here...... That bad goat just wants to devour our souls......"
"Talking nonsense, how dare you slander the great god lord." Adele's tone wasn't as angry as it seemed. "It turns out that you have already betrayed our faith, no wonder you can do such a thing!"
"Kill him! Blood Sacrifice Thirteen Companions! ”
"Cudo, you're a brute!"
“……”
The cultists in the cave shouted excitedly.
Adele's face was cold, and she took a sharp blade handed over by others, "You have betrayed the faith of the gods, and you are guilty of no punishment." False news was spread again, and the thirteen companions who harmed us lost their lives in vain!
Only a blood sacrifice can atone for your sins! ”
Sting!
She stabbed the knife two inches below Cudo's throat into his chest, then slashed down with all the force on her face. Blood splattered and stained her entire face, and the flickering light of the fire reflected her like a devil.
Whew!!
Plasma is like a column.
"Ahh
Cudo let out a painful howl of blood from his mouth, and his eyes bulged out as if they were about to bulge out of their sockets.
The surrounding believers, men, women, and children, all looked fanatical when they saw this scene, and some resentful people gritted their teeth and wanted to eat his flesh and blood raw. The praying man's voice grew louder, as if trying to drown out his screams.
"Those who turn their backs will be punished!"
Adele reached into his chest and pulled out a beating heart, and she strode over to the mural, crushing it to pieces, spilling the flesh on top of the black goat's head carved on the wall.
"The blasphemers have been destroyed! Great Lord, please give us the strength again to help us drive out evil! ”
Adele said reverently.
Airplanes!
The goat pattern really responded, and the eyes lit up with deep demonic fire, and then, I saw Adele's body tremble violently, and the momentum emanating from her body began to climb higher and higher.
Call......!
A strong wind blows through the cave.
Adele's breath quickly subsided, and she knelt down in front of the mural in surprise and responded: "Thank you for the gift of the Divine Lord!" Seeing her, the other congregants all knelt on the ground and prayed earnestly for the goat's head on the mural.
After the storm of the Blood Sacrifice.
The atmosphere inside the cave became flat and even a little silent again.
The boundless night makes people see no hope and can only struggle to survive, and the mental state of the vast majority of believers has become insane in blind faith.
"In the next few days, we have to organize people to go back to the hidden village, the thunder beast riots, the healing church can detect it, and we will definitely send people to investigate, we can't let go of any opportunity to leave......"
Adele got together with a few core church members to discuss.
The doctor in the team approached her, and after a slight pause, he whispered to Adele, "We have run out of medicines, and the wounds of several injured people are already infected, so it is recommended to isolate them as soon as possible." ”
"Moore, thank you for your hard work."
Adele sighed softly with a deep look in her eyes.
"How long will it take for days like this to end...... Doesn't the great God hear our prayers......? ”
A man with white sideburns said in a sad tone.
Adele glanced at him, "Pay attention to the words, the god is watching us all the time!" We are where we are today because of our incompetence, and those despicable Healing Church priests are the culprits! ”
"Isn't it just that I haven't fought ...... land grabs"
Cheng Shen muttered in his heart.
Adele looked at the people who didn't speak and didn't know what to think about in their hearts, and suddenly looked at Cheng Shen, "Moore, you come with me." ”
"Yes."
Cheng Shen lowered his head and knew in his heart what she was going to do.
Everything about this identity has been clearly known by Moore himself in the reincarnation desperate realm.
But be cautious.
Although Cheng Shen didn't think that there were creatures in this world that could resist the torture of reincarnation.
But it is impossible to be too cautious about these fanatical believers.
He understood the information that Moore had and some of the things he was going to do every day, transforming his appearance through the deification of metal, the hidden aura of invisible touch, and the emotional perception to adjust his mind.
Don't say that people who are not familiar with it can't see it.
Even Moore's biological parents may not be able to perceive the changes he is having.
Follow Adele into the depths of the cave.
This cave is the main stronghold of the Goat Sect in the Black Fog Region, and the interior is connected to a natural cave, which is intricate, and even the people of the Goat Sect do not know where the deepest part leads, and it is extremely suitable for hiding.
Adele took Cheng Shen to an internal cave, she waved her hand to remove the energy barrier blocking the entrance of the cave, and a vicious aura suddenly poured out of it.
"Adele......
In the cave lay a black, rotting figure like flesh, no longer recognizable in human form, and could only be identified as a human from the undeformed old head.
"High Priestess, are you feeling better today?"
Adele asked respectfully.
"It's better...... The consciousness of the Lord is merging with me...... You see my body is transforming into the supreme form......"
The High Priest's voice was muddy, like a high fever, and he replied in a delirious voice.
Cheng Shen glanced at his rotten body, and the thoughts in his heart were unknown to outsiders.
"High Priest, if you can't hold on, give up, the church is facing a crisis and we need your ......"
Adele continued.
But before she could speak, she was interrupted by the old man.
"Give up? …… The Lord has answered me, and I will be given the power ...... immortality! You told me to give up...... Are you jealous that I can communicate with the Divine Lord?! ”
The old man's eyeballs bulged out, and he looked at Adele with resentment.
The goddess stood in place, silent.
Crash......
The old man's head kept moving on the muddy body, and his eyes were sometimes crazy, sometimes confused, sometimes sober. "I know what you're talking about...... When I'm done with the fusion, everything will be resolved......"
"Moore will check on you again today."
Adele said.
"Good ......" One eye of the High Priest stared at her, and one eye turned to Cheng Shen.
Without saying a word, Adele turned to leave the cave.
"Come here...... Brat...... Do you see what needs to be checked in my wonderful body form......? ”
The high priest looked at Cheng Shen in a strange tone.
Cheng Shen released his perception and noticed that Adele's figure had gone far away, and the hidden light intertwined at the entrance of the cave, forming a complex formation.
Cheng Shen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"I don't think you're sick."
He spoke.
"Sick?" The head of the high priest slid like a ball in the black mud.
"I'm a professional doctor, you have to trust my judgment." Cheng Shen took out a pair of gloves from his arms and put them on his hands.
"You say I'm sick?"
The high priest didn't seem to react for a while, how could Cheng Shen talk to him like this.
"You just need to be quiet and I will arrange the best treatment plan for you."
Cheng Shen walked towards him without fear.
Creak......
The floor of the cavern was covered with foul-smelling, sticky substance, and it was impossible to distinguish whether it was excrement or food that merged with the flowing black mud.
For the latter.
Cheng Shen can be said to have seen an old friend.
This strange black substance he had encountered a lot while cleaning the temple of the Sacrifice God was the one formed by the mixture of abyssal pollution and dark distortion energy.
A normal lifeform will be eroded into a twisted monster if it is contaminated.
But the faceless angel is an experimental subject created by Storm Castle, and Storm Castle is a cooperative relationship with the Temple of Sacrifice, so naturally he will not be afraid of the pollution of this substance, and Cheng Shen wears gloves purely because of psychological cleanliness.
"Hey, hey, hey......"
The high priest's eyes were rolling in their own ways, which was a bit funny, but it was even more terrifying in a scene like this.
"...... you dare to come near me?"
He watched in surprise as Cheng Shen approached step by step.
Hearing this, Cheng Shen paused, but not because of the question he mentioned, "You should still have a structure like a backbone, right?" ”
“?”
Rao is high priest's thinking was very crazy, and he didn't understand what he meant for a while.
"It's okay, I'll find it myself."
Cheng Shen said expressionlessly.
"Fresh...... Delicious...... That ingratitude Adele hasn't brought me food in a long time. ”
The High Priest salivated.
Whoosh!
The black mud flowing on the ground suddenly splashed and rushed towards Cheng Shen.
But half a meter in front of him, there seemed to be an invisible barrier blocking all the polluting materials.
Cheng Shen's pace quickened and he came to the high priest in an instant, and pulled its head up.
Crash!
Attached to the underside of its head was a yellowish, dark blotchy that had been encroached upon by the contaminants that had eroded into his bone marrow.
"How do you ......"
The High Priest's eyes were stunned.
"You are indeed very sick and need to have your leg amputated." Cheng Shen said, as he spoke, he stepped on the high priest's skeleton, slammed it hard, and dragged its head out with a long spine!
"You dare to destroy my supreme body......!"
The High Priest said angrily.
"Supreme? I think you're burned. Cheng Shen didn't believe its nonsense.
Through Adele's previous behavior, he had already deduced what this so-called goat church was. Perhaps, they were once protected by a god, but that was only the case.
"Adele...... Stop him ......! ”
The High Priest shouted.
"Huh?"
Cheng Shen turned around.
But he saw that a tall figure was standing at the entrance of the cave, there was no expression on his white and smooth face, a pair of black eyes looked at him quietly, and the formation he laid down at the entrance of the cave was not touched at all.
Cheng Shen's heart sank.
He miscalculated.
The ability to be invincible has been frustrated here.
He looked at Adele and tied the high priest's spine and head behind his back, regardless of the other party's constant yelling.
"Let me go, or I'll expose the truth about your pretending to be a god and deceiving other believers."
Cheng Shen said.
"Huh." Adele's crystal eyes flashed with murderous intent, "Do you think you have what it takes to get out of here?" ”
Cheng Shen's complexion remained unchanged.
"The wounded I treated just now will all die within an hour."
He calmly threw his second hole card.
Adele's eyes narrowed slightly, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly enveloped Cheng Shen's whole body, "I will grab you, tear off your skin inch by inch, and tear your bones apart one by one, so that you can't beg for death!" ”
"If only I would be scared."
Sting!
The wide metal wings tore through the shirt behind Cheng Shen, and his face began to melt, flowing into silver liquid metal, re-outlining another unfamiliar face.
Adele's expression immediately became gloomy, "You monsters who are not human or ghost!" Do you really think I have nothing to do with you after killing my people with impunity?! ”
“…… I think we can talk. ”
Cheng Shen gathered his wings and calmed down. The reserved hole cards were exhausted and the other party did not retreat, but the killing intent became more and more intense, which suddenly made him understand that continuing to take a tough attitude and threats could not make Adele succumb.
Instead of going down, it's better to listen to her opinion first.
This is not cowardice.
It is to know how to bend and stretch and endure.
"The life of the High Priest is still in your hands, what do we have to talk about?"
Adele's face was gloomy.
Cheng Shen understood as soon as he heard it.
"I will hand him over to the Healing Church so that he will never see the sun again in his life."
He promised.
“…… Unravel the poison in my people! ”
Adele said again.
Cheng Shen stretched out his hands, "Fake, I don't have poison on me." ”
"Then what do we have to talk about!"
Adele's murderous heart suddenly froze.
"Of course, food, medicine, or bringing your people back to reality. I thought you wanted to talk to me about this. ”
Cheng Shen said naturally.
From the moment Adele didn't make a move on him, he had figured it all out.
He disguised himself as Moore and was actually exposed to Adele's gaze all the time, so what she indulged in must have a purpose.
At the very beginning.
Cheng Shen only thought that she wanted to dispose of the high priest with her own hands.
She probably had something to do with the high priest's muddled words.
The god who sheltered the Goat Sect had disappeared, including the so-called miracles that Adele had faked herself. But the high priest claimed that he could sense the will of the gods and was merging with them.
I want to know.
His relationship with Adele is not very harmonious.
Adele was afraid of the gods and didn't dare to do it, so she found him, but if it was just like this, it would be enough for her to achieve her goal without Cheng Shen out of the present.
She took the initiative to show up, apparently with other plans.
