894 The plague war (guaranteed + additional 35/180)
Zhui Feng gave the four people a look. The five of them walked into the square and sat down cross-legged on the outermost area.
The middle-aged man beside him glanced at the five of them and was slightly stunned because he had never seen them before.
Zhui Feng also saw the doubt in the other’s eyes and took the initiative to explain,”We’re foreign merchants, and we just happened to reach the village at night. It just so happens that I have to offer sacrifices to the night serpent at night, so I came over.”
Zhui Feng’s expression was normal as he spoke with fervour, there was nothing strange about it.
The middle-aged man nodded and looked at their clothes. He was no longer suspicious and continued to make his own powder. The satisfied expression on his face was like he was on cloud nine.
This guy ignored Zhui Feng and Zhui Feng sat down to chat with him.
“Brother, do you still have this thing? We encountered a wild beast on our way through the desert and lost our equipment. This is all we have left.” Zhui Feng pointed at the middle-aged man’s pipe and shook the glass can with tobacco leaves.
Without waiting for the middle-aged man to speak, Zhui Feng added,”We can use items to exchange for it!”
As he spoke, he took out an exquisite purple crystal pendant.
Looking at the pendant, the middle-aged man’s eyes lit up. It was obvious that this was no ordinary item. It just so happened that he had been fond of widow Wang for a long time. Perhaps he could use this pendant to take their relationship to the next level?
it’s just a few pieces of media. Just wait! The middle-aged man was afraid that Zhui Feng would go back on his words, so he quickly got up, patted his pants, and ran back to get it.
this time, they learned a new name,’catalyst’.
After a while, the middle-aged man came back with five sticks of catalyst, but he didn’t give them directly. Instead, he pulled them aside and asked, ” “Are you sure you want to change? you won’t regret it, right?”
Zhui Feng directly threw the purple crystal pendant to the middle-aged man, which scared him. He quickly caught it with his hand for fear of breaking it.
The middle-aged man didn’t hesitate. He handed the catalyst to the five of them, then quickly returned to his seat and began the final ceremony.
With the catalyst in place, the few of them looked around. They sat down cross-legged and did the same. They poured dark green smoke powder into the head of the pipe and hesitated about whether to light it up and take a puff.
If this thing had any side effects, the five of them would die Here.
After some thought, everyone looked at soda pork ball.
Soda pork meatball’s heart skipped a beat and his back went numb. He muttered, ” “Why me?”
Tian Xinling showed no mercy. it’s because you are the weakest among us. Even if there’s a problem, we can still carry you and leave. We won’t lose too much combat power.
Soda pork ball looked at his guild leader again and realized that lost mo Wen’s eyes were even more determined than Tianxin Ling’s. He was already urging him. Knowing that there was no way to resolve this, soda pork ball sighed and poured the powder into the pipe. Then, he lit the cigarette and looked like a righteous man with a determined face.
Soda pork ball took a deep breath, then exhaled the smoke like the villagers.
The mist floated in the air and seemed to have a gravitational pull. It mixed with the other mist and gradually gathered in the snake’s mouth, being absorbed.
However, soda pork ball’s body trembled as if he had just discovered something incredible.
when the four people beside him saw soda pork ball’s expression, they immediately went up to him and asked curiously in low voices, ” “Did you find something?”
Soda pork meatball suppressed his excitement and signaled them to calm down with his eyes.
After another round of swallowing and spitting, soda pork ball’s eyes became brighter and brighter. He was full of energy, as if he had drunk more than ten cans of Red Bull.
From the four people’s point of view, soda pork ball’s behavior could be described in two words-he was addicted!
hualala!
Just as everyone in the square was reveling in the dust-filled atmosphere, a dark green aura suddenly surged from the body of a person in the square. Immediately, this energy rushed several meters high and connected with the snake’s mouth with a sharp turn. The eyes of the stone statue suddenly flickered with a green light, making it look even more demonic.
Seeing this strange scene, the village chief immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the statue of the serpent God. Countless villagers also followed suit and kowtowed to the statue.
“Thank you for the night snake’s blessing. Our village finally has a night snake’s kin! We won’t have to be afraid of being threatened by the other villages anymore!”
thank you, Lord night snake!
Lord night snake, long live you. I hope you can wish us well and let us marry into your family as soon as possible.
......
All kinds of voices rang out one after another, and the villagers unscrupulously told the statue of the god about their inner desire for power.
the night snake’s kin was supported by the entire village. he was the first kin of the village, and the people saw him as their hope and hero.
The ceremony was completely over. The villagers got up and left with their blessed.
Wind-chasing Wolf looked at the interface and checked the data of the Blessed.
name: unknown
[ race: Fei Li Si human ]
[ level: level 20+(elite) ]
[ HP: 1100/1700 ]
Energy: 2300/30
[ attributes: intelligence 75, energy 89, other unknown ]
[ skills: infection, poison bomb, other unknown ]
[ evaluation: night serpent kin, initial mastery of plague ability ]
—-
This person had suddenly risen from a commoner to an elite. Both his attributes and HP had greatly increased, and he had even obtained a skill.
Wind-chasing Wolf probably knew the effect of this so-called ceremony.
The five of them quickly found a dark corner and gathered together, urging soda pork ball to tell the truth.
Soda and pork ball wanted to keep him in suspense, but the other four people picked them up and stared at them like tigers. The words that were already in his throat were immediately swallowed down and he decided to confess.
“When I was smoking this leaf, a system notification appeared, telling me that I had activated my plague Warlock sub-class and asked me if I wanted to make it my second sub-class. you guys know that i don’t have a secondary class, so i just chose it. the warlock of plague sounds pretty cool, and the activation method seems quite simple.”
...
that’s all. Is there nothing else? ” Zhui Feng asked.
Soda pork ball suddenly thought of something. She patted her head and said, ” “there are! After I blew out the smoke ring, the system notified me that I lost 10 points of HP and energy. After that, the smoke merged and entered the snake’s mouth, and the system notified me that I had activated my secondary profession.”
Kill them, lose health, and blue?
The four of them were shocked by this. If everyone lost HP and MP and were absorbed by the stone statue, what would happen?
This so-called ritual was extremely terrifying.
“What do you guys think?” Zhui Feng asked.
the few of them looked at each other and could not come up with a good idea.
“Since soda pork ball has already activated the plague Warlock, which is the Blessed of the night snake, I think there’s a lot of room for us to stay here. At the very least, we can figure out a lot of things.”
Wind-chasing Wolf still had the same idea as last time. Starting from the village, he gradually understood the truth of the matter. From the excited shouts of the villagers, he could extract the information that a village without a blessed would be bullied by other villages. In other words, even though everyone had the same faith, they were still competing with each other.
and besides the night serpent, there seemed to be other religions.
As the Blessed of soda pork ball, they would definitely have a high status and say in the village. This would also be beneficial for them to obtain information.
...
Everyone thought about it and agreed with wind.
So, after the group uploaded the information, they went to the old woman’s house in the dark again.
Because of their friendly exchange before, the old woman didn’t suspect much. moreover, the water that the young man had given her before was sweet and clear. after drinking it, the old woman felt that her body was light and she felt much better. she had a better impression of these people.
I only gave them a few old clothes, but I didn’t expect them to give me such a good thing, Yingluo.
Therefore, when the five of them found the old lady again, the old lady treated them with great hospitality.
When she heard that they wanted to stay in the village, the old woman hesitated.
“aren’t you traveling merchants? why do you want to settle down in the village?”
Zhui Feng’s acting skills exploded as he looked at the old Madam with shame. He scratched his head and said, “Actually, we’re fleeing from a distant place. There were two villages fighting over there, but because we didn’t have any blessed, we couldn’t beat the other party and the entire village was enslaved. I’ve been working all the way here, bartering and calling myself a traveling merchant before I arrived here.”
The old woman understood and nodded. She then asked, ” “Then why did you suddenly decide to stay here?”
At this moment, soda and pork ball stood up. when I was performing the ritual just now, I accidentally awakened and became a blessed.
Upon hearing this, the old woman was shocked. “You ... You’ve also awakened as a blessed?”
As he said that, he actually wanted to get down from the bed and bow to soda pork ball.
This scared the few of them and they quickly calmed the fanatical old lady down.
Although he had not gone to the big places to take a look, even the most basic of villages were so fanatical about the snake god, which showed the big environment of the whole of Fei Li.
The village had two blessed in a day, which was even happier than the new year.
The few of them persuaded the old woman and prepared to go to the village chief tomorrow morning to explain the situation. With two of their kin protecting the village, the village’s strength was no longer as simple as not being bullied.
two days after the first batch of players was released, the mechanical fortress received a large amount of information. link and the other leaders finally had a clear grasp and understanding of the situation with fei lisi.
It was true that Alyssa believed in the snake god.
But on this basis, they were divided into three factions.
They were the White Snake, the sunset snake, and the night snake.
The three sects attacked each other, thinking that they were the Orthodox followers and viewed the other two as evil.
The reason for this situation was that when the snake god first appeared, the first three people to become scroll holders happened to be blessed and awakened at these three different times. therefore, each of them firmly believed that they were the orthodox blessed favored by the gods, and based on this, they constructed their own theoretical basis.
Originally, Fei Lisi’s power system was very weak, and she was basically the strongest person in terms of physical strength.
However, one day, when the snake god appeared, the Blessed who received the gift received a powerful ability, which opened the path of faith for the entire planet.
if an ordinary person wanted to receive the snake spirit’s blessing, they had to use ” catalyst ” and ” leaf powder ” at different times to slightly increase their spiritual power. there was a chance that the snake spirit would sense their piety and receive the blessing.
As for the origin of this method, it was said that it was passed down when the snake spirit gave its first blessed a blessing.
And after becoming a blessed, it wasn’t just a terminal.
after becoming a blessed, one needed to be more pious and perform rituals more frequently in order to obtain power and increase their strength.
This was because the communication ritual required the sacrifice of one’s own blood essence. If one wanted to become stronger, one had to offer more.
As such, in the case of the Blessed, the original social system and regime began to collapse, and a new system appeared-the whole was divided into parts.
All the places were worshiping their kin to maintain the deterrence of their surrounding forces.
if a force did not have a blessed, it would quickly become a vassal of the surrounding forces. they would be extorted for resources regularly or become slaves.
the blessed would only be in charge of cultivation and sacrifice, and all kinds of good resources would be provided by the villagers and forces. Once a battle between regions or forces began, the Blessed would then appear and solve the problem with their own abilities. The methods of the Blessed were mostly plagues and curses, and once the war started, a large number of people would die.
The higher the level of the Blessed, the more power they would be able to mobilize, and they would have to rely on magic tools. The production of magic weapons was the same as raising venomous insects. Only by absorbing enough plague or dead people could their effects be improved. Therefore, behind a powerful magic tool, there were often thousands of dead people.
The higher-ups of the umbrella Foundation had a rough understanding of Alyssa’s situation after reading the summary and organized information.
” what do you guys think of tilith’s situation? ” Link asked, his eyes focused on grace and joisse.
grace fell into silence and did not answer link directly.
Joisse, who was at the side, spoke first.”This so-called snake god is definitely an evil religion!”
Joisse’s one sentence confirmed Tiris’s faith.
if I’m not wrong, this so-called ritual is just a sacrifice of one’s own flesh and blood to the gods. It’s an evil ritual of National nature.
Joisse’s sharp senses told him that this series of events was not to give the people of Allis power, but to better absorb the energy from their flesh and blood.
Even the conflicts between them were a kind of Gu-raising strategy. to be able to pass down such a complete sacrificial system, it could only be said that there was a lot of water behind tilith. There was definitely an unknown existence hiding in the dark, absorbing all the benefits.
After joisse finished, grace slowly raised her head and asked, ” “This magical artifact can affect my emotions. Is it related to the Qi of the dead spirit contained in it?”
Link was silent for a moment. if it’s just undead energy, “he said,” I have a way to do an experiment. However, if my undead energy is ineffective against you, then that should be the worst case scenario.”
Despite what link had said, he had a rough idea of Grace’s situation.
3.0 The version was about the resurrection of the God of plagues.
The cursing sect was stirring up trouble everywhere, and the God of plagues, who had gradually regained his consciousness, was also influencing the living beings in the universe through spiritual influence. Absorb the energy from the flesh and blood to recover.
The current Fei Lisi was a good example.
Everyone crazily worshipped the snake god, but in fact, the snake god was just an illusion and confusion. The absorbed energy eventually benefited the God of plagues, as nourishment for his recovery.
Previously, in order to survive, grace had used darkness alchemy to exchange for her life force. The price she paid was to become a servant of the God of plagues.
Although grace had free will, the plague energy in her body couldn’t help but develop an affinity with the magic tool, affecting Grace’s mind. It wanted to make her go crazy, lose her mind, and completely become the plague’s puppet.
There were currently two ways to eliminate this influence.
The first was to use alchemy to strip away the God of plagues ‘energy from Grace’s body. However, the result of doing so would be that grace would very likely give up her life.
The other was to seal the God of plagues again or kill him completely. As a result, the plague energy lost its original owner’s control and completely turned into individual energy, which was Grace’s own power.
But no matter which one it was, it was difficult for the umbrella Foundation to achieve.
Fortunately, Grace’s situation was similar to the general trend of version 3.0.
As long as link gathered the materials left behind in the clues of the five sages, he could completely seal the God of plagues, or even kill him.
The others also expressed their opinions, but they were more or less the same as joisse.
this evil faith that spread throughout the whole of tillis was devouring the free will of the people of tillis, turning them into slaves of the plague, killing each other, and offering their own flesh and blood to the god of plague, becoming nutrients for the god of plague’s recovery.
They were both victims and accomplices.
after listening to everyone’s summary, link slowly stood up and said, ” “This evil religion can be spread throughout the whole of Tilith. It was impossible for there to be no mastermind behind this. Since we’ve encountered this incident, we have to investigate it clearly.
i’ve seen the future in my dreams. The plague covered the sky and affected many planets and civilizations. From this, it could be seen that this was by no means an accident or exception. perhaps we will face a catastrophe in the near future, and now is the best time for us to intervene. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles.”
The leaders of the umbrella Foundation had never doubted Link’s ability to predict the future.
Countless facts had proven that link could indeed see the future and even change it. Now that the Guild leader had said this, it seemed like this plague would really affect many people in the future. Even if it was to protect themselves, they had to investigate clearly, or at least take precautions.
“right, who contributed the most to this intelligence report?” Link asked again.
Looking at the summary, penny said, ” “The ones who contributed the most are wind and soda pork ball. they had formed a small team of five and provided a lot of information. Among them, soda pork ball even became a blessed, a servant of the God of plagues, and obtained first-hand information about the plague warlocks.”
I didn’t expect them to be able to do this much. The wind-chaser, Piao Rou, was in the limelight last time and even became the spiritual leader of the planet. It seems like soda pork ball is going to be in the limelight this time. link chuckled with a meaningful expression.
The other leaders couldn’t help but ask, ” “The head of state already has a second plan?”
Link nodded. since our people have already infiltrated the enemy’s base, ” he said, ” why don’t we let them go further? ” The higher one’s position was and the stronger one was, the closer one would be to the truth. Instead of aimlessly searching the area like a carpet, or having the entire population descend like dumplings, it would be too easy to alert the enemy. Since the other party had the ability to drive all of Tilith into madness, they must have taken precautions. It’s better to let these blessed mutants break into the enemy’s inner circle, get close to the core, and understand the truth.”
Octopus Paul, who had just joined, was dumbfounded and could not help but ask. “President, if these Inhumans become their kin, wouldn’t that mean they’re their servants? How can they work for us?”
The Roth Financial Group that Paul belonged to was a representative of the chaos Faction. If a member’s moral standard was low, apart from the most basic moral bottom line, the rest was basically zero. Therefore, one thing that the organization had to be wary of was the betrayal of their subordinates. therefore, paul didn’t understand why the president was so confident in the inhumans.
Link chuckled but did not answer Paul’s question. Paul, it seems that you don’t know enough about the umbrella Foundation, ” he said meaningfully. but it doesn’t matter. You still have a lot of time to get to know them before we arrive at Stellaris.
