"Is the trial fake? Is sacrifice real? What was the survival trial before, this place is so evil, wouldn't it be better to kill us all and sacrifice us directly? Gao Hongzhen felt a chill down his spine.

"Perhaps, it's a kind of screening."

Without waiting for Zhou Xu to speak, the lark muttered: "If death is really regarded as the supreme existence by the civilization here, then not just casual people can become sacrifices. ”

Zhou Xu nodded in agreement, "Yes, take the ancient Great Xia as an example, during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, there has always been a sacrifice of human sacrifice, when there is a drought, it will burn wood and burn people to sacrifice to the sky, and when it is flooded, it will also throw people into the river." The choice of sacrifices is also particular, such as sacrificing Hebo, it must be a woman, and even a virgin. ”

Gao Hongzhen had an unlucky expression. "After ten days of hard work and hard work, you congratulate me on becoming a qualified sacrifice?"

Zhou Xu and Skylark ignored his complaints, and the two of them communicated.

"If it is really a sacrifice, then from the first night on the mountain, the sacrifice has already begun. This kind of sacrifice obviously has its own rules, so many sacrifices, and the people who are preferentially selected are those with high cultivation, which shows that the standard for the selection of sacrifices is cultivation? The lark guessed.

Zhou Xu muttered: "I think the more accurate standard should be the strength of the life energy in the body. ”

"Think about it, what is the opposition to death? Life, of course. ”

"In the survival trial, the people who are screened may be those with stronger vitality. And people with high cultivation are actually more and stronger in their bodies, and perhaps for the god of death, the more powerful the life energy, the more delicious it is. Zhou Xu talked eloquently.

"Can you not use the word delicious? I don't want to be eaten by some shitty god of death! Gao Hongzhen complained.

"You have a point." The lark thought for a moment, "If it is really the strength of the life energy to judge the sacrifice, then I have been hiding my life energy fluctuations, can I escape?" ”

Zhou Xu smiled: "This is exactly what I want to say, your destiny may be able to hide the 'procedure' of this sacrifice." ”

"You call it a program?"

"Isn't it a program? Judging from the ruins on the top of the mountain, no matter what civilization or race existed here, it has all died out. We have been in the tree cave for so many days, and it is true that we have never seen any alien race, and the sacrifice here is more likely to be self-stimulated, as long as we enter the tree hole, the process of sacrifice will be stimulated, isn't this the same as a computer program? ”

Zhou Xu's explanation is very logical, both Skylark and Gao Hongzhen are convinced, so many things can be seen just by studying these stone carvings, and Xueba is Xueba.

"It's a wonderful analysis, but it's more appropriate to describe it as a 'formation' than the word 'program'."

Behind a stone wall, voices of appreciation were heard.

Skylark and Gao Hongzhen were both startled, but Zhou Xu's face was not much surprised, his [knowledge] had already sensed the arrival of the fourth person.

The other party's aura is very familiar, and he has followed them before.

"Come out." Zhou Xu said calmly.

Behind the stone wall, Thirteen, dressed in gray, slowly walked out!

When Skylark and Gao Hongzhen saw him, they felt like they were facing a great enemy for a while.

This guy is still the most suspicious murderer at the moment!

A bunch of people are trying to find him!

"Don't be so nervous, haven't you already analyzed that this is an altar? Do you still suspect that I am a murderer? I'm innocent. Thirteen's tone was very aggrieved, but the expression on his face was very stiff, as if watching the sound of TV and the picture were out of sync, there was a sense of weirdness.

"You still have a lot of suspicions, and if you can't explain those doubts, you could still be the murderer." Zhou Xu said calmly.

"In this way, I can explain all my doubts, how about you and me cooperate?" Thirteen said.

"Working with you? You're being shouted and beaten now, cooperate with you, if you don't make it, we'll be killed by other people! Gao Hongzhen shook his head.

Zhou Xu did not explicitly refuse, and pondered: "What's the use of cooperating with you?" Will you help us get out of this hole safely? ”

Thirteen sighed. "To be honest, the situation in this tree hole is very different from what I originally thought, and there is nothing I can do to get out. But your analysis just now makes a lot of sense, your strength is not enough, plus me, maybe we can find a way out together. ”

"There are many people who can cooperate, why choose you?" The lark responded indifferently.

"Hmm, I'm the only one left with the C-rank peak life master, right? In terms of strength, I am the strongest among all the life masters, and in terms of experience, I believe that there is no one more than me. Thirteen said confidently.

"Funny, how old are you to be so confident that you have the most experience?" Gao Hongzhen scoffed.

Thirteen didn't care about the ridicule of the two, just looked at Zhou Xu. "What do you think? Is it possible to cooperate? ”

Zhou Xu was thoughtful, although he guessed what was going on with this tree hole, he had no clue how to leave, and there was nothing wrong with having one more person and more strength.

Although he is afraid of the people of the Shadow Saint, he must have some real skills to be selected by the Shadow Saint.

"Let's explain some of your doubts clearly, and then let's talk about cooperation." Zhou Xu thought for a moment and said.

"Yes. Ask. Thirteen sat on the ground, indicating that he would not make a sudden move.

"First, why did the people of America say that you once sneaked up near their camp?" Zhou Xu also sat down, and under his leadership, both Skylark and Gao Hongzhen relaxed their vigilance slightly.

"You know, I'm alone, and I wanted to team up with you but you rejected it, so I wanted to say find someone else to try. America's team is very strong, I have considered them, maybe this is the case, they misunderstood, right? Thirteen sighed.

Zhou Xu looked at him expressionlessly, "Second, someone has seen you pick herbs, but your supply pack is different from everyone else's, it's not so drumming, what's going on?" ”

Thirteen smiled stiffly, and simply took off the supply bag on his back and threw it in front of Zhou Xu.

"Because this kit is just a front, I don't really need it to hold things."

Zhou Xu picked up the supply bag, opened it for inspection, and found that there were very few things inside, and he was surprised. "And how do you store supplies? Don't tell me to go into the hollow of the tree, you didn't even bring food and water. ”

Thirteen hands stretched forward, and the shadow of his hand appeared on the stone slab on the ground.

Seeing that the shadow suddenly expanded, like a dark cave, Thirteen reached in and took out a few bottles of mineral water from it!

"The lifeline of the space system?"

The three people present were shocked, they didn't expect this to happen!

This kind of life is extremely rare!

"Any other questions?" Thirteen closes the shadow space.

Zhou Xu collected his thoughts, and then asked: "When everyone was chasing you, you suddenly disappeared, is it also related to this shadow space?" ”

"Yes, it's all the effect of my life." Thirteen blinked.

"Well, there's one last question, why are the other C-level peak life masters gone, but you're fine, nothing at all." Zhou Xu asked.

"Well, that's something I don't understand. The reason why I want to cooperate with you is also because I am worried that it will be my turn to disappear next, you are so smart, you should tell me what is going on? Thirteen said helplessly.

"That's your answer?" Zhou Xu's expression seemed to be smiling.

"It's true, I really want to cooperate with you." Thirteen said.

Zhou Xu didn't say much and got up.

"Let's go."

He said to Gao Hongzhen and Skylark, looking uninterested in talking any further, the two nodded and turned around to leave together.

"Hey, can you cooperate? Give me a letter? ”

"Hey, boy, don't do that."

Thirteen shouted a few times in the back, and when he saw that Zhou Xu didn't look back, he could only sigh. "Boy, you're more difficult than Lu Yiye."

Zhou Xu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his pupils shrank slightly.

Lu Yiye?

He had only heard this title from one person!

Zhou Xu turned around with an expression of disbelief. "You're the Shadow Saint?"

"What?" Gao Hongzhen and Skylark were stunned, and their faces changed slightly.

"Are you interested in working together now?" Thirteen motioned for Zhou Xu and the three of them to sit down again.

"What the hell is going on?" Zhou Xu felt a headache, he guessed that this thirteen was tired, but he never expected that he was actually a shadow saint!

No, he is the words of the Shadow Saint, and who was talking to him outside the tree hole before?

Why is the Shadow Saint's cultivation so powerful, how can he enter the tree cave?

How did it become a C-level peak cultivation?

"To be exact, the thirteen in front of you is still thirteen, his age is not more than 20, and his cultivation is only at the peak of the C rank."

"He's one of my shadow puppets, and I'm controlling his movements from outside the hollow."

The Shadow Saint explained that he didn't explain much about the ability of his life, but just let the three of them know the current state of this body.

"And what about the real Thirteen? Is he willing to be controlled by you, no, by you? Gao Hongzhen couldn't help but ask, and he was a little scared of the Shadow Saint, after all, this was a big man who was rumored to be on an equal footing with the Martial Saint, and his reputation didn't seem to be very good.

"Well, Thirteen is mindless, you can understand him as a vegetative person." The Shadow Saint replied blandly, but these words made the hearts of the three of them feel cold.

Vegetable?

A puppet controlled by the Shadow Saint?

This method is really terrifying, and I don't know how Thirteen lost his mind, no wonder after the Shadow Saint came to Binhai City to help solve the S-class disaster, the rumors about him in the market were not very good.

"Shadow Saint, since you know the situation inside the tree hole, can't you unite with the people outside and break through from the outside to rescue us?" Zhou Xu temporarily suppressed the discomfort caused by Thirteen and asked.

"If you can break through from the outside, why did you let you go into the tree hole to try it out at the beginning?"

The Shadow Saint shook his head, "A strange space like a tree hole often has its own rules of operation, and it is difficult for external forces to break it. Even if it is forced to break it by gathering strong enough force, it will also cause the space of the tree hole to collapse, and none of the people inside will survive, and the people outside will not get anything. ”
