Now that his head was gone, Xiao He easily removed the cross necklace.

But by this time, the Resurrection Cross had completely lost its luster.

It's like an ordinary piece of glass; you wouldn't even sell it for five yuan at a street stall.

The scene of dismemberment was still beneath his feet, but Xiao He had already adapted, his consciousness immersed in the system's interpretation.

The Resurrection Cross

[Available by elementalists regardless of attribute.]

[Consumes a portion of an elementalist's lifespan to resurrect creatures that died within the last hundred years. Note: At least some remains are required.]

"To expend lifespan to resurrect?" Xiao He looked at the emaciated old man's corpse; this was probably the price.

The resurrection cultist at the city gate was merely controlling the resurrected monsters; he did not consume his own lifespan, which is why he appeared no different from a normal person.

"Could it be that all the resurrected monsters in this area were created by this person?"

Xiao He's eyes darted around, and his gaze fell on the lifeless boy.

He suddenly wanted to verify his guess.

"What are you doing?!" The shield warrior blocked his way.

Without explanation, Xiao He silently turned off his talent skill, which meant he could now heal normally.

Even if it fails, the boy will only be adding insult to injury; it's not a big problem.

The "minor recovery technique" has been applied.

Hori was confused, but he did remember seeing screenshots of Xiao He before. Seeing him trying out the skill, he also took a few curious glances.

Xiao He squatted down beside the young pastor named "Jiang Cheng," his wand tracing over the boy's various wounds.

The wounds healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The shield warrior standing nearby was stunned by what he saw. Xiao He had just killed someone, yet he could save someone in the blink of an eye? Could he also be a cultist of resurrection?

Looking at Xiao He's attire, it is extremely similar to that of the deceased elder of the Resurrection Cult. Both are wearing black cloaks with huge hats that cover their faces, making it impossible to see their appearances and giving them an extremely mysterious air.

But no matter who he is or what his status is, he did indeed save people.

Meanwhile, the demons that had been controlled by the old man had long since broken free. Some fled into the depths of the forest immediately, while others, still full of murderous intent, continued to attack the group.

Just as elementalists gain benefits from killing monsters, monsters can also grow stronger by killing elementalists.

To ensure that Xiao He's treatment would not be disturbed, the shield warrior stepped forward without hesitation, even though he was injured.

Horley, who was already feeling unsatisfied, had nothing better to do, so he joined forces with him, one on each side.

The continuous flow of elemental power into the elemental vortex in Xiao He's lower abdomen was, for the five of them, equivalent to "experience points".

Xiao He focused his mind on sensing the life element, which had already been released by the resurrection cross and could be controlled without any hindrance.

However, the boy's injuries were too severe, and the minor recovery technique was merely a drop in the ocean.

If Xiao He wanted to save him, he should at least bring him back to half his life; otherwise, if too much time passed, the only option would be for the Resurrection Cult to "resurrect" him.

Time ticked by, and the 29th minor healing spell landed on his fatal wound.

Finally feeling the boy's heartbeat, Xiao He felt a sense of relief.

His prediction was correct; no matter how powerful the Resurrection Cult is, it is impossible for them to control all the elements in the world.

They can only control a certain range.

Like last night's "Lord of Ice," his domain was limited to Dragon City and its outskirts; he could not rule any area beyond that.

That's why they need countless Resurrection cult followers to serve as "tools" for the Resurrection Church.

Judging from the appearance of this deceased old man, he was completely bewitched and was being used without realizing it. He didn't understand what he was doing until his death.

If this were in modern times, the Resurrection Cult would definitely be considered a cult.

Xiao He looked grave. What exactly did they want to do?

The summoned monsters are puppets, and these ordinary followers are also puppets.

Is it just to throw the world into chaos?

So who ultimately benefits? Xiao He certainly didn't think this was the system giving them a back door.

"cough……"

The boy remained motionless, staring at the azure sky and the girl beside him who had forgotten to conceal her face because she was lost in thought.

"you……"

Xiao He's thoughts were interrupted by his voice.

"You're also... a priest...?"
