Chapter 353: Heart Guard

Lu Yao looked at the three-flowered cat in the pixel world.

It can be deformed.

The cat form is easy to hide and move quickly, and is a daily mode, while the catwoman form uses more weapons and tools, and belongs to the combat stance.

However, from Lu Yao's point of view, even if the cat has a dagger in his mouth and hides in a tree with a bow and arrow in his hand to aim at Xueyi, it doesn't look like he has a fierce sense of oppression.

Lu Yao looked at Sanhuamao's personal panel.

……

[Jump Attack]: Jump into the battlefield from a long distance, inflicting damage on all enemies near the landing, and the effect is related to the ability to damage.

……

The cat grass reminded Lu Yao of the [Zebra Lynx] created by Isabel, the same stealth and quick strike. Bloodhill's War Cat seems to have entered another evolutionary path, and the shapeshifter has made it more capable of doing more.

He stays on the catgrass.

The three-flowered cat popped its claws a few times, grinning and ready to ambush Bloody from behind, but it held back.

"What am I doing? Killing it will not destroy the sea of blood, which will always appear. ”

"Hold back, resist the impulse."

Inner thoughts come out of its head.

When Xueyi is free, he will walk out of the blood lake and chat with the cat grass in the trees on the shore.

"Maybe you don't believe it, in the past, wherever I moved, there was an accident in the blood pool and blood lake, either thunder and thunder, or a storm and earthquake...... Several times I was desperate, thinking that I was being targeted by nature, and no matter how frequent natural disasters were, they couldn't point to me alone, right? Am I offending anyone......"

"Do you think there is a god in this world?"

"War cats don't believe in gods. ”

"Yes, it seems that your people have believed in themselves since ancient times, and there is no tradition of worshipping the gods."

Xueyi also said: "In the memory of the Blood Ancestor, there is actually a vague memory about God. The Will of Blood is the source of the entire world's sea of blood, but the Will of Blood can only be felt, not observed. ”

The three-flowered cat interrupted it: "What do you want to say?" ”

"What I want to say is that during this period of time, you can resist not doing anything to me, which is indeed very sincere. So, I'll tell you a secret that I discovered. ”

"There is a god in this world." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Maocao yawned: "You came to me to talk about this?" ”

"I'm serious."

"There are gods in this world, at least there are gods now." I felt a different power in the midst of the natural calamity, a vast will of the same level as the Will of Blood, omnipresent and enveloping the entire world. ”

"This is a very significant discovery. The appearance of God will completely change the original appearance of the world, just like the will of blood, as long as you follow the impulse of this will, you can get power and revelation! I call it the Will of the Scourge. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

A sweaty soybean expression appeared on the cat's head: "The will of natural disasters, the revelation given is to make you homeless, and finally defect to me?" ”

"That's it! This is the guidance given by the will of natural calamity. ”

Xueyi is very serious: "The Will of Natural Disaster showed me how the blood power perished, and let me travel through many blood pools and see many blood ancestors' experiences. Since then, I have learned that disasters are always in the shadows, and I can't wait until they strike to find a solution. ”

Lu Yao nodded slightly.

Children can be taught.

It's not in vain that I'll give you strength, you kid, you can be considered enlightened.

"A safe environment can be a murderous and dangerous place, or it can be the most stable rear."

"This reminds me of the relationship between the Blood Clan and the War Cat Clan. It is generally believed that the war cats will always try to exterminate the blood clan, but there has been no war for many years, which also means that there is stability in the confrontation. It is also a manifestation of the will of natural disasters. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

A cloud of thought came out of the cat grass: "This guy looks stupid, it turns out that he is just deliberately disguised." Fortunately, I couldn't help but do it, otherwise I might have suffered a big loss. ”

Sanhua Cat said: "There were dragons in this world, and that was in the earliest period of the war cat clan's life, and the blood clan had not yet been born at that time. The whole world is surrounded by a sea of blood. ”

"The sea of blood used to be so big!?" An exclamation mark on the head of the blood righteousness.

"Yes, that's what you call the Will of Blood. Listen to me. ”

"According to word of mouth, the war cat said that the ruler of this ancient world was a dragon, and he had no good intentions for the world. The sea of blood was created by it, and the tides of daylight were also the disasters it left behind, and it destroyed many living creatures in the world several times. ”

"The war cats hid in the desert underground, hid in the snowy mountains, and starved to survive that period of annihilation. The originally powerful lifeforms, whether they were giant birds flying in the air or overlords on the ground, all disappeared. ”

"If this is God, then what is there to honor and worship?"

Sanhua Cat said proudly: "We are small, but not as long as we have strength, we can make the war cat kneel. We fight for freedom and survival, and we not only want to live, but we also have to stand up and see the world. ”

Xueyi suddenly said, "I don't mean to be offended, but is it possible that the dragon deliberately kept you, and even cleaned up other natural enemies for you?" ”

This question chokes on the cat.

Lu Yao also felt that this might be a new idea.

Ying Long only saw the Blood Mound as a place of exile to seal and digest the heart of the [Blood God], and judging from his attitude towards the gods in the past, the life and death of other beings were simply insignificant.

Lu Yao opened the World Encyclopedia of Blood Hill.

He swept down the lines at a glance and found the description under the entry for [War Cat].

γ€Œβ€¦β€¦ After the death of the Apostle Totoro, the corpse turned into a cat...... Evolved into a war cat."

My Neighbor Totoro?

There is only one word for the record about My Neighbor Totoro.

"Heart Guard."

Lu Yao searched for clues and pieced together the before and after processes.

Ying Long sent Totoro to monitor the heart of the Blood God in real time, the apostle who died when Ying Long fell, and it is also the source of the War Cat Clan.

The era of Totoro is too far away, and the ethnic memory of the war cat clan is constantly fading and changing, and there is no developed civilization, and it is even more difficult to restore the long history.

Judging from this information, the speculation of blood righteousness is generally correct.

It is no accident that the war cat clan can survive, the ancestor has made great contributions to the dragon king, and his survival is guaranteed.

Lu Yao cut back to the screen and continued to watch.

At this time, where the three-flowered cat and the blood ancestor were, a large band of light appeared in the sky. The light was like a strange field of geometric pieces of glass, covering the entire blood lake.

Under the glare of light, the lake of blood, which had been carrying ice floe, was pulled up by an invisible force and turned into ice cubes and ice picks pointing into the air.

Blood-colored ice picks spread into the air, and even on a pixel screen, they were quite spectacular.

Nearby life, which could not run, was swept into icicles, or paused and suspended in the air, as if frozen.

The surviving Blood Servants and Blood Beasts were quick to jump into the Blood Lake and escape ashore. Cat heads also popped up among the surrounding trees and stones, and they looked at the light above their heads cautiously, and their heads showed frightened expressions.

Cat Grass pointed into the air: "...... If there is a god in this world, why kill life with the tides of daylight? Is it useful for you to pray to God? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Maybe it would work? How do you know if you don't try it. ”

A dialog box appeared above Blood Yi's head: "Mighty Lord of the Calamity, I have seen and believed in your divine power, so I will never stop following your guidance." ”

It prays: "O little earth looker, I sincerely pray that the tide of the day may soon dissipate here, so that everyone can live in peace......"

Lu Yao snapped his fingers.

The gods hear your plea.

Arrangement.

He moved his fingers, selected the [Daylight Tide] status entry in this area, and deleted it directly.

In an instant, the ribbon of death light that lingered in the sky disappeared without a trace, and the ice picks and ice water that had been sucked into the sky smashed to the ground, splashing fragments all over the ground.

It's just that the frozen lives in the air fell to the ground from a high altitude one by one, and there were many casualties.

Lu Yao scratched his head, it should be handled more securely.

Seeing this scene, Xueyi hurriedly prostrated on the ground: "You...... You...... I really heard my prayers......"

"Thank you for your grace, all-powerful Lord of the Scourges! The blood of your followers will spread your prestige and make all people mourn your great will! ”

Blood Ancestor slapped his belly excitedly.

A huge question mark popped up above the cat's head: "This can't be...... The tide of daylight is irresistible, and the indestructible rule of death ......"

"Is there really a Lord of the Scourge?"

"He's watching here?!"

The catgrass body turned into a cat shape and quickly burrowed into a hole in the ground.

Lu Yao looked down at the ground and could only see a pair of wide-open eyes in the dark crypt.

……

After the tide of daylight was shattered by an invisible force, Blood Yi was even more convinced of the Lord of the Scourge.

It said to its younger brothers in the lake of blood: "The strength of our blood clan comes from the will of blood, but we have never said that we can only believe in the will of blood. ”

"The Great Lord of the Scourge has arrived at the Blood Hills, which means that the supreme monarch of this ancient world will be settled here."

"We seek the will of blood because it is connected by blood, which is the source of the blood race's past, and tells us where it came from. But we also need to fear and respect the Lord of the Calamities, because He represents the present and the future. ”

Xueyi emphasized: "Brothers, what is the biggest gain we have gained over the years? ”

It looked around at a circle of blood servants.

"Here you go." The Blood Servant pointed to one by name.

A mess erupted from the top of the Blood Servant's head, and then it cautiously said, "Didn't we get nothing......

"Shut up! Idiot! ”

Xueyi cursed, and pointed to another blood servant: "You come and speak." ”

The second blood servant said, "It is not easy to live. ”

"That's right."

Xueyi agreed: "Everyone realizes that it is very difficult to find a blood pool or blood lake with a suitable climate, where there is no harsh environment around, and there will be no land grabbing or war cat attacks. ”

"The agreement between me and Catgrass was possible because of the daylight tides. It has jurisdictions, it can't run, it's often hit by the tides, and I need a blood lake. ”

"The will of the Lord of the Scourge has come, and for whatever reason, He is above the tides of daylight, have you all seen it before? The irresistible light of death, after I prayed to the Lord of the Calamities, was obliterated by an even more terrifying force. ”

The seal-shaped Blood Ancestor spread its short fin-like claws: "As long as you believe in the Lord of the Scourge and pray sincerely, you may be protected by Him, what reason is there to refuse?" ”

The blood servants whispered to each other, also feeling that there was no loss.

Lu Yao ate dried sweet potatoes with Coke.

The more he looked at the blood, the more pleasing it became.

This guy has a strong ability to resist blows, and he has been repeatedly tested by his own miracles, but he is still trying to find a turf and a way out, and his mentality has not exploded. made Lu Yao's evaluation of it a lot higher.

So later, when the blood prayed, Lu Yao didn't mind coming with a divine power to satisfy its little vanity.

Faith in a simulator is not something ethereal. This is a special power, a vital energy source for God players, and most of it can only be generated from sapient beings.

The Bloodrighteous Gang offered their faith to themselves because they wanted a better life, and this simple and simple thinking was very reasonable.

They are under the Bloodline Order, and they pray daily for the name of the Lord of the Calamity.

Lu Yao saw that it was almost over, and sent Isabel out.

The Apostle descended from the sky on a wand, causing shock and curiosity throughout the lake of blood.

"My name is Isabel, and I'm here by oracle."

She floated on the ice and looked at the lake: "Where is the blood?" ”

Xueyi immediately came out of the water and raised his claws: "Here, here!" ”

"Oracle...... Is it Lord of the Scourge? ”

"Yes, the Lord of Natural Disasters in your mouth is the great God Yao."

A smiling expression appeared on Isabel's head: "When Lord Yaoshen noticed this world, he thought you were good. ”

It glided all the way across the ice, then jerked to its feet before the apostle.

"Bloodline reports to you."

A toothy grinning expression appeared above Blood Ancestor's head.

"Long story short."

Isabel told it, "You are allowed to build a temple of Yao God here, and if you don't have the ability, you can build a statue of the god." If you chant the name of the god Yao, you will see the image of the god that spans many worlds. ”

"Rest assured, Temple! A magnificent temple will surely be built next to the Blood Lake! ”

Xueyi patted his chest and said, "Xueyi is loyal to the Lord of the Natural Calamity!" ”

"That's it, I'll go first. Later, some Yao believers will come over, don't worry. ”

"Then you go slowly."

The seal bowed.

Isabel flew into the air and disappeared.

"Brothers, come out for me, starting today, we will spend all our time building the temple."

Xueyi turned his head and crossed his claws on his hips: "The messenger of the will of the Lord of the Scourge has responded to us, as the place where the oracle has descended, we must seize the opportunity to build the temple, this is both our mission and our glory!" I'm going to do it with you! ”

Under the leadership of the Blood Ancestor, the blood servants and hundreds of blood beasts throughout the Blood Lake began to dig up stones under the ice and snow, bite off and knock down the trees, and then use wood, stones, and ice to restore and build the temples and idols that exist in the brain.

……

The whole process, the cat grass is secretly observed from a distance.

It has always kept its distance from the Blood Lake, and is very cautious about Lu Yao's miracle of curbing daylight, and when Isabel appeared, it hid even far away, for fear of being discovered.

And while the temple was being built, Catgrass finally got into action.

It switched into a cat form and galloped all the way, across the mountains and snow, all the way to the depths of the vast desert.

Many caves have been dug out here, all guarded by war cats.

Catgrass runs all the way to a certain hole, gets his identity confirmed, and gets in.

Lu Yao locked the perspective on the top of the three-flowered cat's head, and as she shuttled all the way, she finally arrived at an underground cave that extended in all directions.

In the center is a burly white cat man. It wears a black patch on its left eye and is standing in front of a map that looks like a sand table on the ground, its tail wagging as if thinking about a strategic plan.

"Marshal Sha!"

Catgrass returns to its human form and stands.

"Oh? It's Captain Catgrass, how did you leave your jurisdiction? ”

Marshal Sha turned around: "You need to give me an explanation. ”

It asked, "What happened?" Is the Blood Lake overflowing, or is the Blood Ancestor launching a massive attack on the garrison brigade? ”

Mao Cao said: "In the area of the Cat's Paw Forest in my jurisdiction, there is a suspicious will of a god on the blood lake, and that force has defeated the tide of daylight. ”

"Defeated?" Marshal Sha asked rhetorically.

"Absolutely."

Catgrass stated: "Every time a daylight tide appears, it will be accompanied by the ebb and flow of the tide. I asked the squadron leader of the nearby station that the blood lake and blood pool in their jurisdiction had the same high tide, but only the tide in my station dissipated as soon as it appeared. ”

It tells the whole story.

In the end, Maocao said: "This Lord of the Scourge, who is suspected to be a god, is the master of the daylight tide, or has something to do with the Will of Blood...... The mere existence of such a powerful force will pose an unpredictable threat to the war cat clan. ”

"Marshal, I think it is necessary to determine whether the other side is friend or foe, and prepare as soon as possible."

Lu Yao was a little surprised.

The war cat clan is really tough, even if they know that the gods are watching, they don't look like they will give in.

Marshal White Cat paced slowly and silently, "You want me to send someone to you to spy on the Lord of the Scourge and His messenger, right?" ”

"Yes. Be sure to send your best men, the Lord of the Scourge has unimaginably terrifying power. ”

A sighing expression appeared on Marshal Sha's head: "Maocao, you are a keen old cat and an excellent captain, but you have too little consideration for the current situation of the war cat clan. ”

"Tell me about the current situation of our three legions."

Mao Cao immediately said: "Three major corps, each corps has a marshal, five captains, thirty squadron leaders, and each squadron has three old cats......

"Wrong."

Marshal White Cat interrupted it: "The Third Legion, plus me, has a total of 93 old cats, 803 recruits, 947 auxiliaries, plus some logistical wounded in internal affairs, the Third Legion has a total of 2017 people. There are less than 1,000 soldiers who can participate in the battle, and it is very difficult to ensure the jurisdiction alone. ”

"How can it be so little...... However, the Cat Hill Conference only said last year that the Three Legions had 3,000 men. Catgrass was stunned.

"That's what it should be, it's actually another matter."

Marshal White Cat said slowly: "You are on the front line, you should know that just to contain and encircle the dangerous Blood Ancestor, as well as the unexpected threat brought by the tide of daylight, the loss rate of the legionnaires has always been very high. ”

"Seas of blood cannot be completely destroyed, they are like the companion of the tides of daylight. However, we will have to purge some of the Blood Ancestors on a regular basis to ensure regional stability and prevent them from attacking the civilians of the War Cat Clan. ”

"The soldiers who have been disabled and sacrificed due to their injuries have made civilians less and less eager to join the army. Honor sustains our sense of responsibility and will to fight, but for civilians they are far from death and danger......"

It said, "Do you know what was the most questioned by the Legion at the Cat Hill meeting? ”

Mao Cao replied: "It seems that the counselors have been proposing to reduce the number of troops, saying that the blood clan is no longer a threat, and there is no need to maintain such a large line of defense." ”

"Not bad. So what do you think? ”

"Of course not!"

Sanhua Cat said: "The reason why those blood ancestors are honest is because of the deterrence of the legion. If the jurisdiction is removed, the Blood Clan will fight for territory and fight for fire, and they will definitely attack the War Cat civilians, who need the power of the Blood element. ”

Marshal White Cat said coldly: "Well said, do you think the counselors don't know anything about it?" ”

"This ......"

Maocao was silent for a while, and an exclamation charm lit up above her head: "Could it be that the soldiers are deliberately reduced...... Let the Bloods attack civilians? Then, after a large number of civilian casualties, it can be used to obtain more troops and legion supplies...... This strategy is terrible. ”

Marshal Sha did not express his position, but said: "The clan is very unstable now. No matter what the other war cats think, the Third Legion will always fight for the life and dignity of every war cat in accordance with tradition. ”

"The Third Legion has only cleared up the war cats in the Second Legion that colluded with the Blood Ancestor, and only by standing still can it play a deterrent role. So, I can't give you any support for the time being. ”

……

All the way back to the jurisdiction, Maocao was startled by the scene in front of him.

It shouted: "All the 2nd squadron assemble!" Get ready for war! ”

All the recruits and auxiliaries immediately drilled out and formed a battle formation around the squadron leader.

They all looked nervously ahead.

Next to the Scarlet Lake, there is a palace made of wood and stone, with an ice-block faΓ§ade and dome that glistens in the sun.

Outside the palace, the blood leader was confronting a group of blood clans.

The attacking Blood Ancestor said: "Blood Yi, I want the territory here." Get acquainted with each other and go by yourself. ”

"Impossible, if you want to hit you, I'll come!"

The Blood Righteous side was outnumbered, but it did not back down, and shrank its defense with the temple as the center.

Cat Grass also turned into a human form and stepped forward: "Blood Ice, who allowed you to appear in my jurisdiction?" ”

"Yo? Isn't this the Squadron Leader of the Cat Grass? ”

Blood Ice raised its paw in motion, and a question mark appeared on its head: "What?" Do you want to protect your blood? Did I hear me right? This is an internal affair of the Blood Clan, and the War Cat Legion wants to interfere? ”

"This is not the place for you to come."

The cat grass warned the other party: "Go back to your Niujiao Mountain, don't go wild here." ”

"It turned out that I found foreign help."

Xuebing just looked at Xueyi: "I'm going to settle the blood lake here today, and no one can protect you!" What kind of stone house outside, demolish it for me! ”

More and more blood servants and blood beasts appeared behind it, and a large mass of thousands of men and horses surrounded almost the entire blood lake.

Mao Cao took dozens of war cats with him, and he didn't dare to act rashly for a while.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.

At this moment, two figures slowly walked out from behind the temple.

On the left is a tall ice troll that uses a pine tree as a flat pole and picks up a bulging bag.

On the right is a caveman in a stone mask, straddling a hemp cloth bag and carrying a quenching sword and a hundred-fold shield.

The Ice Troll said, "Excuse me, which one is Mr. Bloodrighteous here?" ”

"I am Xueyi, you are ......" Xueyi subconsciously replied.

"My name is Bing Fist, it is Shi Xiao, we are Yao residents from Shacheng."

"Yao...... What about Miss Isabel? Xueyi seemed to grasp the life-saving straw: "Is she there?" ”

"I don't know."

The troll said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Do you need to say it? You didn't see the group of blood clans on the other side...... "Blood Yi Yi was anxious to be angry: "With Miss Isabel here, they will definitely not dare to mess around, nor dare they dare to demolish the temple." ”

"Tear down the temple?"

Bing Fist put down the burden on his shoulders, hammered his fists lightly, and looked to the side: "You come, I come?" ”

"There you go."

Shi Xiao touched the mask with his hand: "I will first build a stone wall around the temple, so as not to harass the idlers and others, the temple needs to be clean." ”

"It's fine."

The Ice and Snow Troll walked to the front step by step and looked at the Blood Ancestor at the head: "Are you going to demolish the temple?" ”

Xuebing scolded: "If you don't want to die, get out, where is the stupid big man." ”

The answer to it was the troll Iron Fist.

The two sides entered the battle screen at once.

Lu Yao cut in and took a look.

A large number of blood beasts and blood servants had already lurked and rushed towards the ice fist, and the scene was extremely spectacular, like wild dogs besieging a giant bear.

However, as the champion of the 2nd Martial Arts Tournament, the level of the Ice Troll LV35 and the [Ice Fist] and [Ice Elemental] traits are extremely effective here.

Ice Fist Tiger enters the flock, and doesn't care about the mobs at all.

Its fist firmly locked the blood ice, and the opponent's body was constantly in a [frozen] state, and it couldn't get out of the battle at all. Blood Ancestor's health continues to decrease...... In the end, it was beaten into a field of blood.

The leader was beaten to death, and the minions immediately scattered and fled.

Bing Fist didn't chase the poor man, but just picked up his bags again and asked Xueyi: "Mr. Xueyi, can we build a house here?" ”

"Yes, of course."

Blood Yi said hurriedly.

Shi Xiaoze has already started to build walls with stones.

A question mark rose again on the head of the catgrass that had witnessed everything, and it couldn't help but go over and ask, "You are the Lord of the Scourges...... Emissary? ”

"Emissary? Are you saying the apostles are right? ”

Bing Fist bowed his head very politely and said, "We are ordinary Yao residents, so we can count as ...... Martial arts enthusiasts. Moved from Sand City to live, the apostle is a noble figure, and Miss Isabel is the apostle. ”

"You're civilians?"

"Hmm."

Mao Cao asked: "Then how strong are the apostles of your Yao clan?" ”

"Excuse me...... I haven't seen the apostles make a move, I don't know. ”

The Ice Troll recalled, "However, the real members of the battle, the legion led by Mr. Inister Haizhi, are on a mission to hunt gods in the Abyss, and the Apostles should be stronger than him." ”

"Hunting...... Gods? ”

Sanhua Cat's body trembled: "Then what are you doing here?" Want to wage war against this world? ”

"War? Don't make such jokes, we Yao are a peace-loving race. ”

The troll said, "Where there is a temple, the Yao clan will come and build it." ”

It looked around: "It's a beautiful place, and we're going to build a city worthy of it and make this world a better place...... By the way, who are? ”

Mao Cao said stiffly: "War cat family, Mao Cao, I don't believe in God!" War cats don't believe in God, God has never helped us, we only believe in ourselves! ”

"Oh, that's okay."

A smile appeared on the head of the ice troll: "It looks desolate here, there doesn't seem to be much food, and without the protection and help of the gods, you must have a hard time living on your own." It's amazing. ”

The cat grass suddenly became a little nervous.

It turned around and fled as fast as it could, taking advantage of its own gaffes.
