Chapter 44: The Holy Pearl
When Zhang Linchen was thinking, he saw a big man walking by not far from the city, his eyes narrowed slightly, he glanced around, and after making sure that there was no danger, he crossed the city wall.
He walked slowly, came up behind the big man, turned his fingers into claws, grabbed his throat, and dragged him to a hidden corner.
"Answer my question, or you will die immediately, understand?" Zhang Linchen said with sharp eyes.
"He-he-he-"
The big man nodded with a frightened face, his eyes slightly red, and he looked rather weird.
Zhang Linchen relaxed his fingers slightly, allowing him to speak enough but not making too many sounds, otherwise Zhang Linchen could immediately break his neck and turn it into a corpse.
"Why did the city become like this?" asked Zhang Linchen.
The big man seemed to be very afraid of death, and replied in a stuck voice: "Not long ago, the two village owners took the lead in slaughtering most of the people in the city, and there were many battles, so this is why this is the case. ”
The two village owners in his mouth should be the two masters of Tianfeng Village, Zhang Linchen didn't expect this to be the case, is there something wrong with these people they killed? Or has something else happened?
"Who are those men at the gates?"
"Naturally, it is the owner of the wall, it is said that a group of teenagers came to attack the walled city, and the two owners of the village led people to meet the battle. ”
"Why did you village owners slaughter so many people?"
Dahan was silent, as if there was something unspeakable.
Zhang Linchen's fingers exerted force, and the hand holding his throat tightened, and the big man immediately opened his eyes wide, and reluctantly said, "I said...... I said......"
Loosening a little, Dahan took a breath and said, "Killing people is to collect essence blood and improve strength, the weak people in the city are basically dead, only the owner of the village and us are left." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Linchen frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Can essence blood still improve strength?
"This is all thanks to Lord Xueyin, he has a holy pearl in his hand, as long as there is enough essence and blood, he can send down holy light, and after we accept the bath, our strength will increase greatly. There was a hint of reverence in the big man's red eyes, but his expression was a little crazy.
Zhang Linchen felt a familiar aura from him, and after thinking about it carefully, it was similar to the previous leader's body, and the breath of the blood bead was also very similar, and the three should originate from one place.
It seems that in order to improve their strength, these people have caused countless killings, and they have fallen into a situation from which they cannot extricate themselves.
He took out the blood bead, shook it in front of the big man, and said, "Do you recognize this thing?"
"How can you have a holy pearl?" The big man's face was full of shock, and he randomly noticed that something was wrong, and said, "No, the holy pearl is much bigger than yours." ”
Zhang Linchen let him take another look, the blood-colored beads were bright and restrained, and there was an inexplicable gas flowing in them, and said, "Don't be mistaken!"
Dahan thought for a moment, and immediately said: "There was a team before, and the captain seemed to have this thing, and they were ordered to go out to collect essence blood......"
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "How can this thing be in your hands......?
A trace of coldness flashed in Zhang Linchen's eyes, and he didn't answer, he asked again: "What is the use of this bead except for gathering essence blood?"
Dahan shook his head and said, "I haven't touched it, I think it's similar to the Holy Pearl, after all, the two look very similar." ”
After that, Zhang Linchen asked some more things, and a general situation was presented in his mind.
About a month ago, Tianfeng Village suddenly had a Blood Hidden Lord, and the two village masters were very sought after and regarded as guests, above many subordinates except for the two village masters. At first, some people were dissatisfied and provoked, but soon that person disappeared from everyone's field of vision and never appeared again. Some people think that this was done by the Blood Hidden Lord, and some people think that it was for other reasons, in short, in addition to this incident, another major event happened after that, which completely made everyone happy and surrendered.
Lord Blood Yin claimed to be a disciple of the Holy King Zhenren and wanted to travel the world, but because he was attacked on the way, he had to stay here temporarily to recuperate from his injuries. He took out a red bead the size of half a palm, and called it the "holy pearl". He said that in order to repay the two village masters and your care, as long as everyone collects some fresh blood of strange beasts, and then through the transformation of the holy bead, and then feeds back to everyone, you can greatly increase your strength.
At the beginning, everyone really went to collect the blood of a lot of strange beasts, and even the essence blood, and handed it over to the Blood Yin Lord to transform, bathing in the "holy light", and after coming back, the strength increased a lot. So everyone went to hunt one after another, so that more and more people's strength was improved, but at the same time, strange beasts became more and more rare. The strong can't be beaten, and the weak ones have already been taken first, and finally someone put their minds on human blood.
Sure enough, human blood can also be used, the news spread, everyone seemed crazy, and there were frequent bloody cases in the village, many people disappeared inexplicably, appeared in the morning, and disappeared in the afternoon. The two owners of the village did not stop them, but joined in, and even sent people out to collect essence blood, and in the end, it was out of control, and it became like this.
This Blood Hidden Lord is indeed very mysterious, and the means are so wonderful, a single holy bead can greatly increase people's strength. However, from the time Zhang Linchen came into contact with the things related to him, the rather strange aura he felt was definitely not that simple, and it was no wonder that the group of teenagers called the Blood Hidden Lord "Demon Dao", it was really demonic.
"What is the strength of Lord Blood Yin?" Zhang Linchen stared.
"Of course, it is unfathomable, and the owner of the village said that he is not his enemy. There was a rare solemnity in Dahan's eyes.
"How does it feel to be bathed in the 'Holy Light'?"
A hint of intoxication flashed in Dahan's eyes, his eyes were empty, and he recalled: "The whole body is full of warmth, like a feather gently scraping, and the body becomes very light, and it keeps floating up, as if it is ...... Such as...... The legendary fairy-like feeling. ”
"There must be something wrong with this light, as well as the so-called holy pearl. Zhang Linchen said secretly.
"Can this Blood Hidden Lord be here now? Can you introduce me, I have a lot of essence blood that I want to give him. Zhang Linchen shook the blood beads in his hand, and at the same time slowly let go of the hand stuck in the big man's throat, and said, "I want to have stronger strength, and I can share it with you when the time comes." ”
Hearing the last sentence, Dahan's eyes lit up, and then a trace of greed flashed, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile, not caring about the fact that he had just been held hostage, rubbing his hands and saying: "Lord Blood Yin is not here for the time being, but I can lead you to stay for the time being, presumably Lord Blood Yin will come back soon." ”
"Not here?" Zhang Linchen looked pity, sighed and said, "I really want to pay homage to Lord Xueyin's holy pearl as soon as possible and accept the baptism of holy light." ”
Dahan said with a smile: "It is said that it is a holy weapon handed down by the Holy King Zhenren, and Lord Blood Yin has always carried it with him." ”
The two walked and talked, walking through the broken streets, and when passing through the central area of the city, a rather shocking scene appeared in Zhang Linchen's eyes.
This is a large pile of corpses, about two feet high, drenched in blood, corpses and bones, scattered viscera, countless heads, many of them are dead without blinking, with a pair of godless eyes, some expressionless, some in pain, and some even have their facial features distorted together.
"This is?" Zhang Linchen was slightly stunned.
This kind of picture is very shocking, with visual impact, the air is filled with the smell of blood, if it is an ordinary person, they may vomit on the spot, or even be overly frightened and seriously ill. He is different, after all, he has experienced blood and corpses, although it was a long time ago, but now looking back, he still remembers it vividly.
The big man on the side was stunned when he saw Zhang Linchen, thinking that this young man was scared stupid, the corners of his mouth hooked up a cruel smile, and a silver light flashed in his hand, it was a sharp dagger, flashing a little cold light, and the sharpness was abnormal.
Swish!
The dagger instantly slashed towards Zhang Linchen's neck, turning into a silver light, shining dazzlingly, and the speed was extremely fast.
Who knows, Zhang Linchen's eyes flashed, his body was slightly sideways, and his white hand quickly stretched out, grabbed the dagger, and grabbed it hard.
A crisp voice sounded, and the dagger was directly divided into two sections, and the blade on it had also been curled, and a powerful treasure weapon was scrapped.
The big man's eyes widened, his face was incredulous, this person could actually pinch his weapon with his bare hands, how powerful his physical body should be, it was comparable to gold and iron.
He hurriedly tried to flee, but this man was unable to fight, but he had only taken a few steps when a bloody hole suddenly appeared in his head, and he opened his mouth wide, and then fell to the ground, becoming one of the many corpses.
"Killing has taken people out of their minds. Zhang Linchen sighed.
Of course, this is not only because of killing too many people, being anxious to improve his strength, and falling into some kind of obsession, but also because of the Dao method of the Blood Hidden Demon Dao, although I don't know why it can greatly increase people's strength, but there must be some flaws in it, or something unknown.
Zhang Linchen walked through the streets and alleys and other hidden places towards the depths of the walled city, except for the blood and stumps along the way, it was a mess, and all kinds of stench were mixed. It seemed like it had been abandoned for a long time, but he knew that all this had changed in just seven or eight days.
All the way deeper, he came to a large hall, carved beams and painted buildings, several thick stone pillars stood there, and seeing that there was no one around, he immediately sneaked in.
The main hall was empty, full of blood, Zhang Linchen's footsteps were slow, and he came to the back of the hall in three or two steps, where he could feel that there was life, and there was more than one.
"Don't worry, the boss will quickly solve the group of boys outside, and then we will go down the mountain, we can kill one by one, and when Lord Xueyin returns, we will all increase our strength ...... sacrifice our blood, hahahaha" A rough voice sounded, and the laughter was a little crazy, as if he had drunk too much.
"I can't wait, I might as well slip through the back door now, I know there's a loophole in the formation. Another voice rang out, more shrill and shrill.
As soon as the two of them came out, one was killed by Zhang Linchen, and the other was held by the throat, and his face was full of fear.
"Where's the storage room?" Zhang Linchen said coldly, lifting half of his foot off the ground, and the strength in his hand increased a little.
"In ...... There!" the man blushed and trembled his hands, pointing in one direction.
The two of them came to a place watered with metal, and there was a small formation at the gate, which would not only issue a warning but also a powerful attack if someone trespassed.
