"We've been working ourselves to the bone, and all you've got is sitting here eating and drinking?"

When Fatty Wang saw the old Taoist priest looking so relaxed, his expression immediately turned sour.

"Am I not even allowed to eat something, old Taoist priest?"

Zhang Tianshi said smugly, "I paid for all of these!"

Chen Chu did not join the condemnation, but instead asked with a somewhat solemn tone.

Do you know about blessing ceremonies?

"What blessing ceremony? Didn't I already perform one yesterday?"

Master Zhang thought for a moment, then said, "By the way, if you want to hold another one, you'll have to pay more."

"It's not that we're going to do it, but the mayor is going to hold a blessing ceremony tonight. He said that everyone in the town has to go. Now, quite a few residents have already gone."

As soon as Chen Chu finished speaking, Zhang Tianshi spat out the wine in his mouth.

"What did you say?"

When Chen Chu saw Zhang Tianshi's expression, he knew that Zhang Tianshi must know something.

Chen Chu then asked, "Why did the town mayor hold such a ceremony?"

"Well... I don't know either, just don't go then."

Zhang Tianshi seemed somewhat frightened and hurriedly packed his things, looking ready to leave.

"I've already prayed for you once. I have something to attend to at home, so I'll be going now!"

Zhang Tianshi stopped eating and wanted to leave.

But Chen Chu would never let him leave.

Fatty Wang blocked his way.

"Be honest, answer whatever Chen Chu asks you!"

Zhang Tianshi was somewhat reluctant, but he gritted his teeth and still said it.

"Then hurry up and ask. I'll leave as soon as I'm done, or it'll be too late."

"What do you know about the mayor's blessing ceremony?"

Chen Chu didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

Zhang Tianshi sat back down, but this time he didn't eat the roast chicken; instead, he took a sip of wine.

After a silence of more than ten seconds, he spoke again.

"You guys messed with that thing last night."

"Haven't you figured out his purpose yet? I've said it before, this guy is just here to eat, just like we drink and eat roast chicken. He'll go home after he's full."

"And yet you destroyed his spirit and rescued over a hundred people. What would you do if someone stole your roast chicken, especially when you were starving?"

Zhang Tianshi's vivid question left Chen Chu and Fatty Wang speechless.

Chen Chu said after careful consideration.

"You mean, tonight's blessing ceremony is about preparing food for that thing?"

“That’s right. As long as enough people go, he’ll be full, and nothing will happen. But all those who go are just food.”

Zhang Tianshi took another sip of wine.

"And he won't let you food escape before he prepares a big meal."

"That's why I said that while his spirit can't go out now, there's still a chance to escape. If we wait until dark, it might be too late..."

This seems to confirm Zhang Tianshi's words.

A thunderclap suddenly resounded in the sky!

The weather was originally scorching hot and cloudless.

Suddenly it became dark and gloomy.

The gentle breeze gradually grew stronger.

Dark clouds began to appear overhead!

However, by the time they finished speaking, the sky had turned into a gloomy, lifeless one.

It was dim, like a winter evening, cold and dark.

"Thump!"

The old Taoist priest suddenly dropped the wine pot in his hand.

He watched the changing sky and murmured to himself.

"It's over, we're really stuck here now!"

It was clearly midday.

Under the cover of dark clouds, it felt as if it were evening, the time when every household was having dinner.

The students from Jiangcheng University in the villa also looked up at the sky.

These students gathered together, scattered into small groups, discussing how to break through and become Awakened.

Suddenly, the unusual changes in the weather were noticed.

"How did it suddenly turn into a cloudy day?"

"That's right, everything was fine just now."

"What exactly happened?"

These students were initially discussing with great enthusiasm how to become awakened beings.

For most of them, it was simply a matter of taking a nap and waking up as an awakened being.

That's too easy.

Therefore, many people overlook the inherent dangers of dungeons.

This sudden scene made the students realize what was happening.

This is not a picnic, but a real life-or-death game!

Lu Xiuyu, Qi Dacheng and the others rushed over, and Hai Xin also came from the front yard.

"Why did the weather suddenly change?"

Everyone wore a slightly unpleasant expression.

Only after experiencing it themselves did they realize how dangerous this instance was.

Chen Chu looked at the group of people and spoke slowly.

"Tonight is the last night in the instance, and the crisis has arrived!"

"Now gather all the students together. The awakened ones will protect those who are not yet awakened."

Lu Xiuyu nodded, and didn't ask any more questions. It was obvious that Chen Chu knew more than they did.

All he needs to do now is keep Chen Chu focused and play his support role well.

Lu Xiuyu took Lü Guoguo with her to comfort the students and get them to gather together.

Hai Xin said.

"The town's residents are already heading to the mayor's house."

"The events of the past two days have left the town in a state of panic. No one is in the mood to work, so this morning, some went to the mayor on their own initiative, while others were persuaded to do so!"

No sooner had Hai Xin finished speaking than another huge change occurred!

A huge, dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky.

And clumps of black mist spirits flew out from the dark clouds.

They roared in an inaudible voice as they charged toward the town center directly below.

Not a single extra spirit came to them.

Chen Chu frowned and asked, "What kind of place is that?"

Everyone's gaze turned to the location where the spirits had landed.

Hai Xin blurted out, "That's the mayor's house!"

The mayor's house?

Upon hearing this, Chen Chu suddenly realized something.

Then came the feeling of tingling on my scalp!

"Oh no, we've overlooked something very important!"

Everyone turned their attention to Chen Chu.

"There's no time to explain! We need to get to the mayor right away, or it might be too late!"

Chen Chu immediately brought along the students who had already awakened.

All those who had not awakened remained in the Prince's Palace.

The spirits are currently gathered at the mayor's house, and the students, who are ordinary people, will not be affected for the time being.

"What exactly happened?"

On the way to the mayor's house, Fatty Wang asked a question out of curiosity.

Only then did Chen Chu have time to explain.
