Chapter 18: The Ritual of Blood

"By the way, if we kill too badly at that time, will the people from the Academy of Sciences jump out and attack us?"

Sylan asked Christopher suddenly, his tone full of jealousy for the Imperial Academy of Sciences.

"No, they'll just watch," Christopher snorted and replied with a smile, "like a church idol, looking down on the world with arrogant cold eyes." Otherwise, why have we arrested so many people in the past two years, but the Governor's Mansion of this planet still turns a blind eye? The reason behind this should be the instruction of the Academy of Sciences. Their target is likely to be our Lord, and until our Lord really comes, we will be absolutely safe as long as we hide in the shadows. ”

“…… Reasonable. ”

Xi Lan glanced at the "sacrifices" lying at the ceremony site, densely piled up into a hill, and nodded thoughtfully.

"However, we are holding the ceremony in advance this time, so we do not rule out the possibility of other changes, and once we see signs of a counterattack by the army of the Governor's Palace, we can find an opportunity to retreat."

Hearing his stepfather's entrustment, Shiran was thinking about another question:

"You say, should I find a few transport ships to evacuate civilians? As long as we can take out one or two, more people will die than we can kill in a whole day. ”

"Don't make a fuss, don't forget that there are indicators of tolerance in the Empire and the Academy of Sciences. If you want to die for our Lord, please tell me in advance, and I will be ready to retreat now. ”

Christopher's answer made Shelan laugh uncontrollably:

"Don't worry, old dog, I'm so young, I don't want to die in a place where this kind of bird doesn't, hahahaha......"

The laughter of Shelan echoed through the ceremonial site, the bottom of a mine in the middle of the wilderness, abandoned for years.

Except for the Governor's Palace's monitoring system switchboard, which can scan the entire planet, only the three members of the Academy of Sciences on the satellite have been observing the movements here, and no one else can detect the evil brewing here.

……

Three days later.

At 4 a.m., on the eastern edge of the city of Knoll.

Yang Wuji stood beside a man-made river with clear water, surrounded by a leveled clearing, and the nearest dwelling was hundreds of meters away.

There was silence all around, only the rustling sound of the cold wind coming to his ears from time to time.

Looking up at the dark night sky, her sister Yang Lingling had been sent out of outer space at this time.

"Here we go."

Yang Wuji muttered to himself, and a message suddenly sounded in Zhi's brain, it was the information promised by Investigator Jerry.

"The name of this ritual is the Ritual of Blood, and the purpose is to summon a high-dimensional otherworldly entity called the 'Lord of Flesh'.

Combined with the analysis of the data of 36 similar summoning rituals performed by the Evoking Cult, there is an 83% probability that this ritual can only summon 3 low-level otherworldly entities such as Spirit Suckers, Flesh Eaters, and Bone Killers, and a 17% probability that it can summon high-level otherworldly entities, the dependents of the Lord of Flesh.

The names of the above rituals and otherworldly entities are derived from the Cult of the Evokers. Specific data on the Otherworldly Entity and how it spreads are detailed in the Annex. ”

Yang Wuji clicked on the attachment and found that it was a data analysis of various types of otherworldly entities, and the content was very detailed, but there were also some places that were blocked.

Judging from the data displayed in the data alone, these otherworldly monsters are very weak, not to mention Yang Wuji, even ordinary people who have undergone basic training can barely kill them with civilian firearms.

If this ordinary person has also purchased body enhancements, or has some simple modifications in the body, he can pick up a weapon and rush into the monster group to kill indiscriminately.

However, during the ceremony, these otherworldly monsters will be blessed with mysterious powers, and their physical fitness will be strengthened in all aspects, and their strength and speed will be doubled.

And the most troublesome thing is the strengthening of their defense and resistance by the ritual, and the effect is simply outrageous.

Under the intensification of the ritual, ordinary civilian energy weapons, and even basic military energy weapons, will directly fail when hitting these monsters.

Only high-level energy weapons or special super weapons can have a certain effect on these monsters. However, compared to the energy consumed and the lethal effect achieved by these weapons, the cost performance is extremely poor.

After testing, the best combat effect against otherworldly entities is kinetic weapons and cold weapons that fire physical ammunition, that is, the most direct physical attacks!

However, even a high-level modified member of the Security Bureau's Special Mobile Unit, with sufficient ammo and melee weapons, may not be able to kill a low-level Otherworldly entity with a single on-on-one kill.

Not to mention the high-level otherworldly entities, the dependents of the Lord of Flesh and Blood.

According to existing records, the Lord's family is a tall anthropomorphic creature with a head full of eyeballs, a large mouth running across the head, wings on its back, hairless and bright red skin, and can fly at high speeds, somewhat like the devil in some religious legends.

With ritual bonuses, the dependents of the Lord of Flesh are not only immune to most conventional weapons, but can also avoid physical attacks by adjusting their body form, making them invincible against low-level armed forces.

Moreover, their strength and speed are far beyond those of low-level otherworldly entities, and they can basically reach the level of non-commissioned officer-level military monomer mechas, that is, the maximum speed is three times the speed of sound, and the maximum force is more than 500 tons.

In addition, they also have the ability to heal at a super high speed and control all organic flesh and blood within a 500-meter radius of their body in the air, combined with the super defense power granted by the ritual, they can barely resist the attack of the first-level investigators of the Imperial Academy of Sciences for a long time.

Regarding otherworldly entities, there is another place that is very fucked, that is, after the otherworldly entity dies, it will immediately release the state of ritual blessing, and the corpse will quickly disappear within three days, decomposing into worthless exhaust gas.

And those otherworldly entities that do not die during the ritual will also be greatly weakened shortly after the ritual ends, and eventually burp to death.

From this point of view, the best way to deal with these otherworldly entities is to wait for the ritual to end, so that they will fend for themselves.

But the duration of the entire Blood Ritual was 10 days!

Thousands of invulnerable, powerful, and swift monsters, 10 days is enough time to kill a planet.

"In these materials, the content of the principle of ritual enhancement monsters has all been blocked, it seems to be confidential information, and it is estimated that it is also related to my mission this time."

Yang Wuji closed the information page, took out his favorite Hundred Changing Star Sword, and looked at the wilderness in the distance outside Noor City.

"According to the investigator, the monsters will be divided into two groups, attacking from outside the city and inside the city at the same time, and the number of people outside the city is the largest, I will block here for a while, try to kill as many as possible, and buy time for the people in this vicinity to evacuate."

Just as he was thinking about it, the emergency evacuation alarm of the Governor's Palace suddenly sounded in Zhi's mind, and the sound of explosions and fires began to be heard in the distance in the city center.

"It's coming!"

Yang Wuji's divine thoughts spread out, and about five kilometers outside the city, a large number of pitch-black figures gradually appeared in his divine sense.

It's all sucking spirits! The number in Yang Wuji's divine consciousness alone is as many as thousands!

They landed on all fours, and they ran wildly in surprise, as fast as bare-wheeled bicycles!

"Brontosaurus!"

Yang Wuji raised his star sword and released his skills into the distance, and giant lightning bolts appeared out of thin air, forming a dragon-shaped thunderbolt with a radius of several meters, sweeping towards many sucking spirits.

The Brontosaurus' light lit up the pre-dawn night sky like a giant flashbang.

In the dwellings behind him, there were already people driving flying cars to escape, and at this time, seeing the monster army that was revealed by the thunder light, he was even more frightened and accelerated wildly.

"Zila!"

The Brontosaurus crossed the first monster line without hindrance, and the result only made the sucking spirit monsters in the front row stiffen a little, and did not cause much damage.

However, although the front-line monster troops only froze in place, they who were originally running at high speed immediately fell to the ground, and then tripped over the same kind that were still sprinting frantically behind them, and for a while, many sucking spirits fell to the ground one after another.

"Is that okay?"

Yang Wuji's eyes lit up, and several thunder dragons swung out.

This thunder dragon skill is a large-scale killing skill that he detached from the game equipment, although when he first dismantled it, the cultivation system instilled the principle of the thunder dragon into him, but Yang Wuji didn't study it carefully, he only knew that he could throw it at the enemy.

At this time, the skill was thrown wildly, and the sky was full of thunder, and it looked quite powerful.

With a burst of melon rolling gourds, the front line of the entire monster army crashed into a ball, and there were many sucking spirits who were trampled by the same kind behind them, letting out screams, and the overall sprint speed of the monster group immediately slowed down.

Without waiting for Yang Wuji to be proud, in his divine sense, the troops behind the monster also followed, and a new kind of monster appeared at the same time.

"It's ...... Flesh Eater? ”

In Yang Wuji's divine sense, the flesh-devouring monsters like huge meat balls were pushed by the sucking spirits with their heads, and they rolled towards the city frantically, which immediately made him feel funny.

"Why does it look like a bunch of husks are racing?"

Soon he couldn't laugh, though, because he noticed that these flesh eaters looked round and bulky, but once they rolled, they became faster and faster, and when they encountered obstacles, they could bounce into the air and accelerate again after landing.

"It turned out to be really bullet!"

Watching countless flesh-eating monsters cross the front line like pinballs and fly towards the city, Yang Wuji had the information he had seen before in his mind:

"Flesh eaters have a special body structure that can store and convert the forces experienced on the surface of the body in various directions and release them from other parts of the body, so they can ignore terrain obstacles and accelerate continuously during movement."

Thinking of this, he locked his mind on a flesh eater, concentrated on it, and found that the flesh eater's smooth, round skin was actually covered with flesh-colored tiny tentacles, which belonged to the kind of people with dense phobia who committed suicide on the spot.

"So disgusting? Depend on! Anyway, let's try a few first. ”

Yang Wuji saw that his scalp was numb, he quickly put away his thoughts, no longer studied it, and added a flying technique to his body, flying towards countless flesh-devouring monsters.

"Whew!"

The sword light flashed, and several pinball-like flesh eaters were cut in half by Yang Wuji in mid-air, spilling a bunch of green blood, making him feel a wonderful pleasure of playing with fruit ninjas.

At the same time, a system prompt swiped the screen in his brain interface:

"Repair is +67."

"Repair +63."

"Repair is +54."

……

"That's right!"

Seeing this information, Yang Wuji suddenly patted his head excitedly: "Killing monsters from another world can be cultivated!" I almost forgot about this stubble! ”

After saying that, he plunged into the ground with a fierce son, unfolded the Hundred Star Sword to its longest size, and slaughtered countless sucking spirits and flesh eaters, like a fierce tiger rushing into a flock of sheep.
