Chapter 282: Praise to the Holy Lord (Thanks to the book friend ww2333 for the reward)
Although Su Xing was seriously injured in the underground laboratory, he also destroyed the "mastermind" used by the eight people to store consciousness.
For a time, the entire natural person main settlement was leaderless.
So, with the three foundation-level magic weapons of the jasper pipa, the Qingguang sword and the mixed yuan rice umbrella, Si Su and the others easily killed them from the settlement.
Along the way, no one dared to stop it....
…
Six days later.
Queen Bee, Greenland Eastern Desert.
On the way, Yongsong said to the people as he walked, "After passing this great desert, continue eastward, and you should be able to reach the territory of the Holy Kingdom, where it is said that all people there can only and must believe in the Holy Lord, and anyone who does not believe in the Holy Lord will disappear from the world the next day."
"Good fellow."
Si Su learned Su Xing's usual tone, and said speechlessly: "We have just escaped from the territory of the hive clan and natural people, and we didn't expect to encounter another force with the same high-pressure rule, is there no real place for freedom on this queen bee?"
"No, you're thinking too much."
Yongsong corrected, "The 'Holy Lord' I just mentioned does not mean a tyrannical ruler, or even whether the 'Holy Lord' is a human being or some other monster, and no one in the entire Holy Kingdom knows.... Including what I just said, those who do not believe in the "Holy Lord" will evaporate from the world, and it is not that this person will be persecuted by the "Holy Lord", but literally, the whole person will disappear inexplicably."
Hearing this, Si Su and the others couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts: "Then why don't we go around the border directly when we pass through the Holy Country?"
"The Holy Kingdom is so big, how can it be bypassed? And compared to other chaotic places, the Holy Kingdom is already relatively safe."
Yongsong continued, "Besides, all of this is also said by other people in the settlement, and as for whether it is true or not, we will have to wait until the Holy Kingdom to know."
…
Next.
Outside the gates of the Holy City.
"Praise be to the Holy Lord!"
Looking at Su Xing and the others, who had traveled through the Great Desert for seven days and seven nights, the soldier guarding the city said with a strange expression, "You are from the Hive Clan? You look like you're a hive, but how did you get through that great desert?"
Whether it is a hive, a natural person, or a resident of the Holy Land, few of those who enter the Great Desert will make it out alive.
If you want to cross the desert, simply bringing enough food and water will not solve the problem.
Because there is a creature called "sandworm" in the desert, which is extremely dangerous.
Sand worms can be four to five meters in size and can bury their bodies in the sand, waiting for an opportunity to attack passing travelers or animals.
This is where the real danger of the Great Desert lies.
Of course.
This is not too dangerous for Su Xing and others, who have jasper pipa, blue light sword and mixed yuan rice umbrella for self-defense.
In addition, there is a lot of water and dry food in Su Xing's storage bag.
Almost effortlessly, the five of them crossed the desert to the territory of this holy country.
Of course.
These secret things cannot be easily taught to the soldiers defending the city.
Then Yongsong laughed and said, "Praise the Holy Lord! The five of us were lucky, and we came out of the desert without even encountering a sandworm along the way."
"I think so!"
The soldier showed an expression of "as I expected", and then quietly stretched out his right hand: "It seems that you have been able to come here from the desert alive, and you should be blessed by the Holy Lord."
Soldier Bee 018 on the shoulder.
Su Xing, who was carried all the way to the territory of this holy city, after seven days and seven nights of recuperation, his injuries had already healed.
When Yongsong communicated with the guard, although Su Xing didn't say a word, he had been silently observing the guard's every move:
- The guard stretched out his right hand, very clearly
Apparently asking Yongsong for benefits.
However, the beehives and natural persons were strictly forbidden to own private property, and currency was rarely used in the settlement, so it was natural that they could not understand the meaning of guarding.
In the cognition of Yongsong and others, the concept of "bribery" does not exist at all.
But Su Xing, who has been a human being in two lives and has experienced many things, can see the doorway at a glance.
So he put his hand on the storage bag, and quietly took out a few coins, and made a strange electronic synthesized sound: "A little meaning, please accept it."
"Hey! What are you doing?" The guard said righteously, "I am here to defend the city, and I am not here to accept bribes, it is my honor to do things for the Holy Lord!"
This....
Not really, right?
Seeing the guard's refusal on the spot, Su Xing couldn't help but feel an inexplicable sense of disobedience.
This guy obviously took the initiative to ask for a bribe, but why did he say such a thing to excuse himself before accepting the money?
Could it be that the people in this holy kingdom like to stand and stand?
And after seeing the strange behavior of this guard, Su Xing immediately recalled what Yongsong had said in the desert yesterday.
"All people in the Holy Kingdom can and must believe in the Holy Lord, and those who do not believe in the Holy Lord will disappear from the world the next day..."
Is that a possibility?
The guard's strange behavior, and the inexplicable words he said, had something to do with the existence of the "Holy Lord"?
Su Xing is also a person who will come to trouble.
Although he felt strange in his heart, he still followed the guard's words and said, "You can't say that, my lord, this little money is also to support the construction of the Holy City, everything is for the Holy Lord!"
"Praise be to the Holy Lord." Hearing Su Xing's answer, the guard showed a satisfied look on his face and accepted the money handed by Su Xing.
Maybe it was because of the benefits of Su Xing.
The guard didn't forget to remind, "Today happens to be the day of the 'sacrifice' of the residents of the Holy City, and you should be able to watch the sacrifice ceremony when you enter the city at this time."
Sacrifice??
After hearing these two words, Su Xing subconsciously looked at Yongsong.
The latter just shook his head, indicating that he was not aware of the situation.
But this is normal, after all, Yongsong is a natural person living in the green area, and it is impossible for him to know everything about the affairs of the Holy Kingdom.
After Su Xing and the other five entered the city, they saw countless residents of the Holy City on the road, hurrying towards the center of the city.
If Su Xing was not wrong, the residents of the city gathered in the same place, and they should all have gone to observe the "sacrifice ceremony".
It's just that there is one thing that Su Xing can't figure out.
The area of the holy city is not very large, and the residents of the city should know each other....
But on the way to the square in the center of the city, these people did not say anything, and even if the residents knew each other, they only exchanged glances with each other.
It's as if you need to pay extra taxes to talk in this city.
There is absolutely something quirky about this so-called holy kingdom....
"Praise be to the Holy Lord!"
Su Xing, who realized that something was wrong, glanced at 056, Bingbee 018 and the others, and said with a serious expression: "From now on, if it is not necessary, we all have to see as much as possible and talk less.... We will do what the people of this city do, and we better not do what the people of this city do not do, understand?"
