Chengzhong was divided into six factions, which was obvious; the six colors represented six different gangs.
But the question is, what are those three?
A seventh force?
As Su Qing was mentally complaining, she saw a group of people surrounding her.
They had green strips of cloth tied around their shoulders and their faces painted with oil paint.
"Where did you come from?"
They first glanced at the three men's shoulders, but found no colored strips of cloth.
The expression on his face gradually turned terrifying.
“There are three outsiders here. Capture them and offer them as sacrifices to the gods.”
A person shouted, and all eyes on the entire street turned to look at him, creating a bizarre and terrifying scene.
Su Qing and the vampire exchanged glances, both having heard him speak of the divine being.
Are there gods here? Could they be the embodiment of divine will?
Both of them had their own guesses, but they didn't have time to communicate.
Some people are cursed; you must not touch them, or you will suffer the consequences.
Su Qing reached out and grabbed the little rose, then spread its wings and took to the air.
Vampires even transformed into bats and flew away much earlier.
The two of them looked down at the surging crowd below from mid-air and couldn't help but grin.
That's terrifying!
The vampire muttered something, then suddenly stretched out his claws and tore apart a large section of buildings in the city below with a single strike.
Countless people were affected, resulting in significant deaths and injuries.
The vampire examined them closely and shook his head: "The people here can no longer be considered human. Their souls are permeated with curses, their humanity has vanished, and they have become tools of the curse, or rather, tools of divine will."
As they were talking, the vampire's expression suddenly changed.
The destroyed buildings below are rapidly being restored, and the bodies of the dead are being pulled underground by vines that sprout from the soil.
The injured person's injuries are improving, but they are also becoming older.
It seems that their life force is being used to heal their wounds.
At the same time, a terrifying cursed power suddenly erupted and surged upwards.
The target is vampires.
"Holy crap, help!"
The vampire's eyes widened, it let out a scream, and flapped its wings as it flew toward Su Qing.
Su Qing's eyes widened, and without saying a word, she kicked out.
The vampire was kicked away, narrowly avoiding the surging curse power.
Su Qing took the opportunity to create some distance and hugged the little rose in her arms tightly.
After tumbling a few times in mid-air, the vampire, now transformed into a small bat, regained its footing, looking utterly dejected.
"This is terrifying, let's get out of here right now!"
Where to?
Su Qing countered with a question.
The little bat was held down and stood there stunned for a long time.
In the end, Su Qing made the decision: "Let's go to the capital. That should be the core of this forbidden area, and the others will probably go there too!"
The vampire didn't seem to mind and nodded.
Little Rose had absolutely no say.
Su Qing was about to leave when she saw the city below, where the surging crowds had returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
What a terrible place!
After muttering something to themselves, the three of them quickened their pace and left.
After traveling for several days, passing through cities and villages.
Each village has similar idols, and each city is divided into six types of people.
Su Qing gradually began to understand some things as well.
In this cursed land, six forces are at play.
These six forces are very likely six divine wills.
Although this idea is terrifying, Su Qing is very likely to be the one.
The forbidden area is governed by a divine will, so it is impossible for it to worship six different gods. The most likely explanation is that it possesses six different divine wills.
If this speculation is true, then the level of danger here is off the charts.
Moreover, Su Qing felt that if his guess was correct, then the outcome of the contest between the six divine wills might be decided soon.
Because of those villages!
The villages Su Qing saw along the way all featured women dressed in black cloth, draped in thorny vines, their faces devoutly worshipping the same god.
In terms of population, these villages combined constitute a truly staggering and terrifying number.
Add to that the people in the city who worship this god, and the advantage is too obvious.
"Something is wrong here!"
Suddenly, Xiao Qiangwei behind Su Qing spoke, her voice trembling with fear.
Su Qing turned her head in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"I've only been here for a few days, but I feel like I've aged several years in an instant."
Su Qing and the vampire were both stunned and carefully observed Little Rose.
I did notice that the other person looked a bit more mature than before.
But the change wasn't significant; it was only about a year or two older.
Staying here for too long can actually deplete your life force?
Su Qing was a little surprised, but why didn't she feel anything?
He then looked at the vampire and found that the other also had a blank expression.
However, he quickly realized what was happening.
One of them is a dragon, and the other is a vampire; both are species with long lifespans.
Losing one or two years of lifespan is equivalent to living only one or two days less than a human.
It's hard to detect.
If it weren't for Xiao Qiangwei's keen observation, she wouldn't have even realized that she had aged a year or two.
Su Qing did a quick calculation and estimated that they would be staying here for about ten days.
By the time she leaves, Little Rose will probably be three to five years older.
No big problem. At worst, we can go to the elves and ask for a few leaves from the Tree of Life to easily replenish our supplies.
Su Qing didn't take it too seriously and continued on her way with the vampire.
Meanwhile, several other groups were also heading towards the capital.
