Chapter 176: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf (4k)

Water has quality but no shape, it nourishes all things, and all things return to quality and formlessness.

The "seeds" of all things have a moist nature, and water is the source of the moist nature, and it is also the initial "nourishment".

If soil is the one who gives birth, then water is the one who deserves to be the nurturer.

In the plot of the water catastrophe, everything related to water must be 10,000 vigilant, which is also the thing that Rutgers and his companions emphasize the most.

And after watching Andy Pat drink the soup without hesitation, he couldn't help but recall that when he ran a group in his previous life, there would always be one or two fearless people who took the lead in wading through the water, and he couldn't help but feel sincere admiration in his heart.

"Is it really that delicious?" Rogersmo asked curiously, rubbing his chin and taking a closer look at Andy Patter's changes.

"There's something wrong with this soup? But my sense didn't send any warning. Andy Pat asked as he looked at the soup in the spoon and frowned.

No matter how stupid he was, after seeing everyone's reactions, he also realized that something was wrong.

"I don't know anything else, but have you noticed that you know there's something wrong with it, but you still continue to sip?" Poltus grabbed Andy Patter's wrist and used great force to prevent him from continuing to stuff the soup into his mouth.

Andy Pat's eyes widened slowly, and he subconsciously let go of the soup spoon and let it fall into the bowl, splashing a burst of white soup.

Outside the hall door, the light and shadow gradually blurred, and the small raindrops quietly fell on the stone steps, making a faint and continuous rustling sound, and the hall was extremely silent.

"I feel like my mind is getting clearer than usual, but I have a subconscious desire to continue drinking soup, and this craving is still growing......"

Andy Pat's throat rolled, he also knew the severity, and after thinking about it, he detailed his feelings at the moment.

"Would you like to take another bite of the fish?" Anyway, the soup has been drunk. Alina and Rogers looked at each other, chuckling kindly and making a suggestion.

Pertus frowned and glanced at Alina, then pulled out a diamond-shaped transparent bottle from the pocket of his trench coat, the bottle was filled with dark purple potion, he crushed the top, and forcefully poured it directly into Andy Pat's mouth.

Andy Pat then felt nausea gradually attack, his throat twitched, the taste of acid welled up in his mouth, and he subconsciously turned around and bent over, and began to vomit spasmodically.

Streams of water poured out of his mouth and nose, and some small, curly transparent tentacles were wriggling vaguely on the ground.

"There's some kind of consciousness looking for containers." Poltus waved his magic and wrapped a tentacle in front of his eyes to examine it carefully:

"Minor calamities require only a medium, and only great calamities require containers to receive flesh.

"And the outbreak of the great plague requires several sacrifices of silver or more, and the chief of the village said earlier that many of the strangers have already suffered, and there must be guards hired by merchants.

"So the ritual has already begun, and now the catastrophe requires only a vessel that suits its heart, so that the bowl of soup will be served with such eagerness, and it makes sense."

Peltus crushed the tentacles with thunder in his hand, and then he stretched out his finger on the wooden table in front of him to carve a map of the village with thunder and lightning.

With the scorched black marks left by the stabbing sound, his eyes became more and more solemn, until he drew the location of the stone house where everyone was, and then he continued to say in a deep voice: "This village is already alive, and we are currently in the stomach of the village. ”

When he finished speaking, a sudden gust of wind blew outside the house, carrying water vapor and raindrops into the house.

Rogus stared at Poltus silently, and after seeing that he didn't make any moves, he sighed and quickly pulled his staff from the magic book and placed it horizontally towards the wooden door.

Bang –

With a strong concussion, the door that was about to close completely was jammed by the pitch-black cane, making it impossible to close completely.

"It's really activated...... Poltus looked back at the door, and then moved his gaze to Rogers, "So you've seen it for a long time, but you haven't told it." ”

Rogers raised his hands and gently slammed them together, echoing a rhythmic sound.

He also stood up when he applauded, with a heartfelt admiration on his face: "You have just entered the village, and you have already noticed such a situation.

But isn't it undignified for friends to be so tempted by each other? Besides, I don't have the ability to accurately predict the future, and most of what I have in my mind is just speculation. ”

"I took the liberty of it, please forgive me." Poltus also pressed his top hat and got up, and after apologizing with a light smile, he continued: "Let's go find the old village chief and see if there is any hope that the other party will be rescued." ”

"Okay." Rogers bowed his head.

Led by Poltus, when the group walked out under the cane stuck in the door, Alice and Alina deliberately fell last.

As Alice quickly opened the hidden barrier, Alina filled a bowl of soup and wrapped it in ice crystals, and then walked out of the hall after Rufia as if nothing had happened.

"Are we going to split up? Now that the ritual is already underway, it would be best for us to gather information and resolve it as soon as possible. ”

Rogers held the magic book in his hand, and with the other hand, he pulled down the cane stuck in the door, and in the process he proposed.

A crackling sound followed to signal the door slamming shut, and Pertus glanced back at the door, swept past the few people who walked out of the hall, and then said to Rogers, "If you don't mind teaming up with me, I'll take it." ”

At this moment, several dull screams were heard in the distance, cutting through the rainy night and diffusing in the shocking wind and rain.

Pertus wanted to go immediately, but he found that Rogers was just smiling and had no intention of moving.

After a few moments of entanglement, he still gritted his teeth slightly, a golden glow appeared around his body, and he raised his feet to the ground, and suddenly jumped into the distance.

"The breath of depravity, maybe it's the cultists who are persecuting the innocent, and some rituals are being held, don't we go with it?"

Andy Pat looked in the direction where Pertus had left, and asked suspiciously, how many people were around him, but when he turned his head, he realized that Rogus and the others were already moving in the opposite direction.

The fine raindrops were all removed by their magic power, leaving a clear afterimage.

Without thinking much about it, Andy Pat also quickly chased after several people, leaving the prince behind.

"Aren't they related? With the strength of the Great Prince, it should be swept away soon, right? ”

As she ran, Alice raised a noise barrier for the four of them and whispered to Rogers beside her.

"Why worry about the safety of cultists? The people of the village have long been alienated, and all we have to do now is to seize the time and forcibly force the calamity to come. ”

Rogers tilted his head and asked, a little strange why Alice suddenly became worried about this.

The order he had given to the Bottomless Pit Cultists was to take the initiative to provoke a fight with the Hiders of the Discord Abyss when he sensed a strong closing sound coming from the door of the Great Stone House, causing some obvious noises by the way.

"I'm afraid they'll die too soon...... Alice added, after a slight pause.

"Then we'll have to go faster." Rogers noticed Andy Pat, who was following quickly, and took the initiative to poke the noise barrier away.

Seeing this, Alina also looked back at Andy Pat, shouted and asked, "Is there anything unusual after that?" ”

When Andy Pat opened his mouth to reply, Rogers took the ice crystals wrapped in the soup that he had just received from Alina, and he immediately stood still, and used the [Devouring Bonus] to burst out at an extremely fast speed, shattering the ice crystals in a second, and spilling some of the soup into Andy Patter's mouth.

By the time time had reflowed, Rogers had returned to his original position.

Andy Pat was only about to reply, when a violent storm hit, blurring his eyes and adding a familiar umami to his mouth.

He hurriedly put his fingers down his throat and retched as hard as he tried to spit out the soup, but to no avail.

"Damn! There is something wrong with this village! The rain seems to be mixed with that soup! ”

Andy Patter's face turned pale, and his strong longing began to rise again, and there seemed to be an inexplicable summoning from the seaside in the distance, as if there were countless delicious things over there.

"The eldest prince's unscrupulous exposure of his strength, coupled with his previous undisguised performance, is likely to have caused the catastrophe to have a sense of crisis, and he is about to start desperately trying to find a way to come into the world."

Rogers stopped, led a few people to quickly surround Andy Pat, and explained with a concerned face.

There is actually nothing wrong with his words, the catastrophe in the original plot is because of the imminent crisis of the saint, and there is a line of forcibly descending into the world in advance.

At that time, it was also a route that was created when a companion of the saint inadvertently drank the water source in the village.

"Where were you going?" Andy Pat looked up with an ugly look on his face and asked.

He found that from the beginning to the present, he seemed to have really become a burden, unhelpful to the task, and continued to need answers and help from others.

"If the village has been revitalized and the disaster is related to water, then the watchtower in the village is the most important thing, because the lookout has the symbol of the eye, and the eye is the part of the living life that contains the most water."

Rogers gave Andy Pat a quick explanation, then looked at Alice, Alina, and Rufia:

"I can't just leave Andy Pat alone, the three of you go to investigate the situation first, and I'll stay here to protect Andy Pat to prevent him from any other abnormalities."

The three girls bowed their heads in unison, did not say anything more, and quickly ran in the direction of the village watchtower according to the plan that had been set up for a long time.

Larger and larger droplets of water jumped down from the sky, forming a dense curtain of rain, making it difficult to see too many things, only the golden light that shone in the distance could be clearly revealed.

As the raindrops tumbled and fell, crashing against the rooftops and the ground, the sound was heavy, powerful, like a rhythmic drumbeat.

"Don't worry, it's okay, when the Holy Maiden starts to deal with the calamity medium that is likely to be hiding in the watchtower, things will definitely be fine."

Rogers held up a barrier for Andy Patter from the heavy rain, patted the other man on the back, and patiently soothed.

If there is no big mistake, there should be a rain summoner hidden in the watchtower, who has been studying the origin of "water" to improve his sorcery.

However, the long-term research and the fact that the other party has not been able to break through have caused the other party to gradually enter a state of mental disorder, and finally directly pinned his hopes on the disaster in order to improve.

It's just a pity that the catastrophe is something that he can't control at all, and the end is just that the catastrophe gave birth to his own instinctive spirituality, and the erosion of the wizard was launched step by step.

"Are things really going to be okay?" Andy Pater propped his hands on his knees, thinking back on his past actions, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty about Rogers, who cared for him at the moment.

"It's going to be fine." Rogers replied with great certainty.

As long as Alice approaches the rain caller who has been invaded by the cataclysm, then the calamity has no choice, and if she does not want to dissipate like this, she must quickly find a container that can carry its power.

And the excellent agent can only be the best choice for the catastrophe.

So things will definitely get better at that time, and gradually get on the right track as originally expected, at least for Rutgers, it is indeed good.

"Thank you." Andy Pat sincerely thanked Rutgers.

"That's what I'm supposed to do." Rogers replied with a smile as he watched as Andy Pat slowly got up and unconsciously walked towards the beach.

And he was also very kind to accompany the other party to move his own pace, and continued to cover the rain curtain for him.

Boom Boom –

A deafening explosion violently and forcefully tore through the rain curtain, staining the night a crimson and diffusing a burning smell.

It didn't take Rogus much to know that the source of the explosion was in the direction of the watchtower.

There was also a pool of water under his feet that didn't reach his ankles, and every time he stepped on the water, there was a faint clicking sound that rippled endlessly.

"I feel like my face is itching." Andy Patter unconsciously walked forward, reaching out and scratching his cheek continuously.

"Maybe it's because it's too wet." Rogers explained with a chuckle as he looked at the clear, gelatinous tentacles that kept popping up on Andy Patter's face.

The Scourge of the Tide had begun to rush into a hurry, and Andy Pat's transformation was visibly accelerated.

Although many of the agents in the later stages of the plot do not have the strength to influence the plot, Andy Pat is so weak, and the gods of the Creation Mountain are unwilling to cast their eyes at such a point, which still makes Rogus unconsciously have a lot of confusion.

"Lord Walker, if you continue to go further, you will enter the sea!"

After following the other party to the beach, Rogers suddenly grabbed Andy Patter's back collar and reminded him loudly.
