Chapter 152: The Tainted Shrine
"This started 1 hour ago, you just left Huang Haowen's house on the front foot..."
Inexplicably, after one person beat up Huang Haowen's bodyguard team, it was really much easier to communicate.
Huang Haowen reluctantly walked down from the upstairs again and accepted the questioning.
For the position he said... Inexplicably, he didn't care very much, he directly followed Riben Guizi and they could get there.
But... Huang Haowen's cautious appearance and overly abnormal fear attracted inexplicable attention.
"You like... Afraid that someone will trouble you? You're an ordinary architect who hires so many transcendents as guards? Also, speaking of the City Lord's Mansion... Looks like you haven't told me a lot of things you're hiding."
"Answer my question! Otherwise... Die!"
Huang Haowen: (‧̣̥̇꒪່⍢꒪່)
The bones were not hard, and he was frightened at once, and told everything he knew on the spot.
The guards also happened to be happy and idle, and they were beaten twice a day, who could stand the intensity of this work!
Thanks to Wu Xiu, the skin is rough and the meat is thick.
So, he learned Huang Haowen's true secret...
A week ago.
Huang Haowen was called by the people of the City Lord's Mansion to repair the backyard buildings and landscape areas.
This is a simple job, the city lord's mansion is not stingy, and it can make a small profit, the key is... The work assigned by the city lord, he may not be able to make a familiar face if he does it well, and he will be able to make a living in the future on the one-third of an acre of land in Colossus City.
During the repair, one of the sewer pipes was dug and leaked, and he thought that he would quickly repair it himself secretly and treat it as if nothing happened.
Outcome... When he dug deeper, he not only dug up the fiber optic cable, but also found the secret room under the city lord's mansion, and... Blood! Lots and lots of blood!
I could vaguely hear a low roar from below, and I didn't know what kind of monster it was.
I freaked him out at the time.
Hurry up and finish the work.
He thought that there must be a group of monsters under the City Lord's Mansion, and he didn't know what they did, but it was definitely not a good thing, otherwise they wouldn't be hiding in the underground secret room.
So he pretended that nothing happened, but in fact he was afraid of it, and invited so many guards to protect himself, afraid that if someone wanted to kill him, he would have some protective force.
But apparently as the foreman of the contractor, he did not have a clear concept of the power of the transcendental, and this group of guards he found the most powerful had been overturned by two groups of people.
Oh no, this time it was a man with a bunch of strange creatures and they were beaten up in a group.
Inexplicable: "Then you... Did you tell the guy who was looking for you where you dug into the secret room?"
"Yes! The fiber optic cable they're looking for is over there anyway, so I'm not lying to them..."
Inexplicable: "It's broken! You're going to have something!"
The information here has already proved that there is a big problem with the City Lord's Mansion.
But the fiber optic cable interface is what they have to get their hands on.
"Instead of reminding them... It's better to let them be bait, I'll go find reinforcements and take them in one fell swoop."
"Anyway, I'm also a player in my 40s, so I won't die too fast, right?"
"Although this place is not too far from the Red City, it will definitely delay things with the strength of my Cerberus's feet, so I will call the lord directly, hoping that the lord will not be sleeping at this time..."
Inexplicably, I contacted the lord directly, although the call took a little longer, and the lord was indeed sleeping, but I finally heard his message.
After inexplicably explaining the situation here, Cheng Whistle immediately sent Zero over.
It just so happened that he wanted to stretch his muscles and bones recently, so he came out with him.
Yesterday, he absorbed 350,000 spars, raised himself from level 30 to level 35, that is, the level of the middle level of the third order, filled up the [Storm Scatter] with the skill points he had accumulated for a long time, and by the way, made a [Storm Scatter] bullet to replenish the ammunition depot of the fishing robot.
Originally, he could have risen to level 39 in one go, but now he is trying to complete the soldier's enchanted bullet
order, this spar is temporarily saved for new players.
When the soldier's spar was settled, he directly went up to level 40 in one go, that is, the fourth order!
Anyway, for him, level 35 and level 39 are not much different in combat power.
It's just to get up to 35 and learn the [Storm Scattering] of the [Inquisitor].
He is different from the player's clone, his level 40 is the fourth order!
Then... It's the real qualitative change!
Inexplicably, while waiting for the lord's support, he rode away on a cerberus on the surface, but still left a crow near Huang Haowen's house to observe if he still had any other secrets.
And then... He found the person who went to kill Huang Haowen, the deputy captain of the guard of the City Lord's Mansion.
He made a decisive move, and the summons swarmed up, killing the third-order deputy captain and saving Huang Haowen.
The frightened Huang Haowen almost knelt for him.
Inexplicably, he asked if he should repay him, and then took away the 2,000 spars stored in Huang Haowen's house.
In the background of Huang Haowen shouting "This is even more uncomfortable than killing me", he inexplicably left the Huang family compound, joined the lord, and rushed to the city lord's mansion together, and rescued several members of the mentally handicapped team.
Inexplicably, he simply repeated his own operation.
Hiben Keiko thought about it for a moment... Scales fall from one's eyes!
"You're fucking using us as bait, aren't you?"
Inexplicable: "......"
"You just say that you haven't done it!"
"This..."
The mentally handicapped team thought about it... They didn't lose anything, and the result was acceptable.
At this time, Cheng Xianfeng stood on the Green Goblin skateboard, looking at the city lord who was being controlled in front of him and the large number of humanoid monsters below, his brows furrowed.
"I suddenly remembered something..."
"The deserter named Tuoba Liang who was rescued from prison by Agent Feng is still in our base, and he said that he was tricked into going to the front line, and the city lord used a secret technique to forcibly damage his lifespan in exchange for the ability of an evolutionary..."
"But as far as I know, the Colossus is still recruiting every year, and the people he sent to the front line are the ones he captured, and the soldiers he recruited... Where have you been?"
Cheng Xiaofeng didn't quite understand why Tuoba Liang was forcibly arrested to be a soldier before, there is obviously no problem with conscription, many people in the wasteland can't have enough to eat, and going to the frontline battlefield to be a soldier is also an option to survive.
The soldiers' base didn't give them too many military service tasks, so how could they not complete it?
Right now... Cheng Whistle probably understood.
Inexplicably, he also said fiercely: "What a ruthless city lord, you have taken all the soldiers recruited by the Colossus City to the basement for experiments and transformed them into monsters!"
Lori added, "Listen to this city lord say that he fused the genes of humans and zombies to produce these monsters... This city lord is somewhat of a pervert."
Potato Thunder: "Hehe~ I look at it... It's an undercover zombie agent."
Zero's voice came from the air.
"My lord, what to do with this monster?"
Cheng Whistle looked at the puddle of meat that was still squirming in the ice, and waved his hand disgustingly: "Kill, this kind of monster has no need to communicate."
And... The city lord is a fourth-order, and this time it was the player who first consumed its energy, and then Zero attacked with the strongest firepower to freeze it in one fell swoop.
If it is relieved, maybe there will be some moths.
Zero: "As you wish."
The fishing robot transforms in the air, its arms grouped together to form a giant hammer.
The two legs were put together and combined into a columnar accelerator, and blue flames erupted from under their feet, accelerating wildly with their bodies.
Rumble!
Zero's giant hammer smashed through the ice and crushed the fleshy city lord.
Bang!
Several of the lord's limbs were blasted into pieces of flesh by the extremely high impact and flew out.
The body in the center is slammed into the ground by the oversized fishing robot, becoming a puddle of meatloaf.
Inexplicably, he posed as a lonely master.
"Probably... This is the essential difference between me and you, who play games with my brain!"
"Everything is under control."
The 10 people below didn't have time to take care of him, so they rushed over and began to throw their skills.
"Closer! Don't be out of experience! Can't you give tens of thousands of dollars this time?"
Inexplicable: "......"
"Grass! Wait for me!"
He hurriedly jumped off the skateboard and followed the other players to output the "Meatloaf City Lord", but the others had been fighting for a long time, and he didn't touch it at all, and in the end, he couldn't share his experience... But it's ***!
Players frantically whip corpses, even the broken limbs scattered around.
But until they all collapsed the ground by 2 meters, they didn't receive any hints to increase their experience.
Riben Guizi stopped.
"Stop fighting, it's all flesh, physically... I shouldn't be able to survive, I guess something went wrong elsewhere."
"Isn't... This thing is kind of a human, so we don't have any experience in killing?"
"What human you've ever seen turn into a puddle of rotten flesh with tentacles? That's not!"
The players didn't have any experience, and Cheng was surprised.
"Zero, detect the surrounding energy fluctuations, is this city lord dead?"
Zero: "Yes! Testing..."
A moment later.
"After the inspection, the remains of the shrine were found underground, and there was just a fluctuation of opening the spatial teleportation."
"Shrine Ruins?"
Cheng Whistle and the players smashed through the basement, and in the third floor of the deeper basement, they found a shrine wrapped in a large amount of wriggling flesh, and a black heart with tentacles on the shrine was still pounding.
The ruins of the shrine also fluctuated with the beating of this heart.
Inexplicable: "This cutscene is so weird, it's like... It's like a shrine that is breathed with life from the heart."
Riben Guizi: "Don't say it, don't say it, the more you look at it, the more it looks like it!"
Potato Ray: "The city lord won't leave the shrine, will he? As far as I know... There may also be space inside the shrine, didn't a big fool jump into it before? In the end, he suffocated inside, and by the way, if any of you know this big fool, ask him."
glanced at him inexplicably: "You are the big fool, your whole family is a big fool!"
"Do you know how to dedicate yourself to scientific research?"
In an instant, he said inexplicably, "But... The inside of the shrine can be teleported to another dimension, and what I jumped into before was a spatial wormhole opened by an NPC named "Hades", and when I arrived in the underworld, I was suffocated."
Cheng Whistle was very uncomfortable looking at this beating black heart, and the rotten flesh wrapped around him also made him very disgusted.
[In view of the general environment,
"Clean up all this mess for me, and reveal the shrine as it is."
"Okay~"
The players were full of firepower, and the black heart was blown up with a pop, and a small black worm burst out of it, which was burned by the players.
After shaving off the top of the shrine, all kinds of strangely shaped fleshy tissues were restored to the appearance of a normal shrine.
Cheng Xianfeng found that the shrine seemed to have become brighter.
"Let's see if the shrine can get [Devotional Points]."
"I'm coming!"
Inexplicably, I touched it directly, and my mouth was still muttering: "I always bring an oxygen cylinder when I go out now, and I kind of let me go again!" The god of the dead is locked up and can't move... I'm going to right on his head this time!"
Crowd: "......."
Lori was verbose: "I can see... He hasn't put it down yet."
But the space black hole did not appear, and the prompt sound of the smart watch was long overdue.
【Discovery of the remains of a polluted shrine】
[The pollution has been cleaned up and the shrine reward has been obtained!] 】
Prompts are heard from many players' watches at about the same time.
In the next second, a brilliant starlight was launched from the shrine and submerged into the bodies of the 11 players on the scene.
[Ding~ Gain attribute points +3, skill points +3, extra piety points +1]
11 players gasped.
"Attribute Mission!"
"Cow Pi!"
"Is this all about us?"
"Wouldn't it be a direct crush of players of the same level?"
"Uh... That's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's a small advantage."
"Such a good task, the lord actually asked us to do it, he really... I'm crying to death!"
"I heard that the pinnacle team doesn't have time, or they will do this task, I don't know if I regret it now?"
The players prostituted 3 attribute points, 3 skill points, and 1 piety point for nothing, and they were all very happy.
Cheng Xiangfeng was a little puzzled.
"Huh? I'm not far away, and it's the people I commanded to clean the shrine, why didn't you give me a bonus? Is it because I didn't make a move?"
「***! No???
When Cheng Whistle was annoyed, the natural disaster base in his mind trembled, as if he had unraveled something.
But Cheng whistle had a splitting headache.
"Zero, carry me and go back to base! Quick!"
Cheng Whistle suddenly couldn't do it, and he was taken back to the base by Zero without saying hello.
Players think about it for a moment... Get it right away!
"The lord's bug is again! I guess I'm going back to sleep again..."
"But this side plot also came over to go through the motions, which is already very good, and the planning is estimated to take a lot of effort."
"Let's light up this shrine!"
After cleaning up the pollution, the shrine emitted a trace of vitality energy, and it was already possible to worship normally.
【Offering Request: A Piece of Vibrant Meat】
The players casually got some pieces of corpse flesh and threw them in, and after being absorbed by the shrine, the starlight flashed, and the soul went directly to the starry sky.
[Gain Piety Points: 1]
Once again, the players are at the place where the constellations are lit up.
None of these players have ever been to Canterlot, and they have only lit up the three shrines of the Four Mountains, the Red Maple Forest, and the Red City, and this is currently the fourth shrine.
But in this shrine, they have gained 2 [Piety Points], which can be completely lit up for constellations with less than 4 planets.
When you light up an entire constellation, you will get a higher bonus.
And...
Inexplicable: "Huh!? I've gained a constellation skill!"
