Chapter 140 Visitors from the Abyss
Late at night,
In Hammer Dame's blacksmith shop, several apprentices were lying casually in the haystack, snoring loudly after a day of hard work.
Only Zhang Yang is an exception.
At this moment, he was studying the piece of jade he had obtained before. This was the only thing he could study at this stage because the soul power he had snatched back before had been almost consumed.
Carefully covering it with the soul force field, Zhang Yang immediately heard a cry, a woman's cry.
After a slight hesitation, Zhang Yang continued to probe his soul power. As a result, his expression changed drastically the next second. It was not that he encountered any danger, nor that there was any terrible mechanism hidden in the jade, but that he sensed hundreds or thousands, no, at least tens of thousands of independent souls.
To describe it in figurative language, Zhang Yang felt as if he had come to a huge prison with no entrance or exit. There were tens of thousands of people imprisoned inside, including men, women, young and old, all kinds of people. They were crammed in there like sardines, wailing, crying, grieving and despairing.
It was like being in hell.
This situation made Zhang Yang shudder, because he suddenly thought of the two paper figures chasing the caravan. Were they hunting souls? And they were all such complete souls. This method was very evil.
"My lord, these seem to be living souls."
Zhao Xianyu, who had not appeared in public for a long time, suddenly spoke.
"What is a living soul?"
"There are actually many explanations for this, but the most accurate one is that the souls of people who died unexpectedly before their lifespans were full are living souls. Living souls can be used in many ways, such as being refined into evil spirits, or used to refine magic weapons, or - I don't know, this is all I can tell from divination, but there is no doubt that those two paper figures are not good people."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Don't try to beat around the bush and ask me for divinity or fanaticism. This world is very evil, so I can't let you grow up. If you leave any traces, it will be easy for someone to catch you and hunt you all the way to the fantasy world we are in. So just be patient."
"I understand your caution, but we seem to have accepted a believer, the Broken-legged Robin. If he falls into the hands of the enemy, wouldn't our tracks be exposed?"
Zhao Xianyu asked curiously. He had been completely convinced these days and didn't dare to make trouble anymore.
"Don't worry about this. I have my own ideas on this matter."
Zhang Yang said calmly, how could he ignore such an obvious flaw?
"From today on, I need you to keep weakening yourself until you lose your position as the mountain god. I noticed that the broken-legged Robin has been trying to contact us, and even offered a blood sacrifice to ask for a response. This guy is very cunning and vicious, and his intelligence surprised me."
"Listen, Zhao Xianyu, even though we say we want to support this broken-legged Robin as much as possible, it doesn't mean we have to have any contact with him."
"This world feels to me like a piece of fat meat that is being targeted by countless evil wolves. Of course, we are also some kind of evil wolves, but I don't want our world to become like this. That would be too tragic."
"I understand, sir. I will make the throne fall within three days."
It was rare for Zhao Xianyu to be serious, and only then did Zhang Yang nod his head in satisfaction. He spoke to this guy so earnestly because what he was going to do next was too important.
Although he could command Zhao Xianyu through the Mountain God Order, Zhao Xianyu was the Mountain God after all. If he had any temper, such as failing to resist the bribe from Broken-Leg Robin and accepting the sacrifice, he would be doomed.
"ah!"
Just when Zhang Yang and Zhao Xianyu finished their conversation, a shrill scream suddenly sounded outside, followed by silence.
Immediately afterwards, a very familiar and cold breath penetrated through the walls, doors and windows, as if it were nothing.
"not good!"
Zhang Yang reacted quickly. With a wave of his hand, the suppressed furnace at the entrance of the blacksmith shop suddenly burst into flames. The intense high temperature instantly filled the entire blacksmith shop, keeping the terrible low temperature of the fog out.
About ten seconds later, the low-temperature gray mist retreated silently as it had come, as if nothing had happened.
But Zhang Yang's face looked very ugly. After hesitating for a while, he suddenly chased after him and looked out through the gaps in the doors and windows. He saw a gray fog cloud as vast as the Milky Way passing through the center of Storm City.
In the gray mist, one could vaguely see a throne that reached the sky, with hundreds of thousands of evil spirits crawling beneath it, and thousands of ghost queens dancing around the throne.
But this is all an illusion, as it is rapidly fading until it disappears completely.
At this time, heart-wrenching cries and shouts finally rang out throughout Storm City, and the entire city fell into chaos in a very short time.
Countless torches were lit, and countless people were running and asking for help, because in the past ten seconds, anyone who was shrouded in the gray fog and cloud illusion would be frozen to death instantly unless they were strong enough or had something to keep warm nearby.
"What happened? Don't these pigs sleep at night?"
Carl, the senior blacksmith apprentice, was woken up. He muttered something, then turned over and continued to sleep soundly.
He had no idea that he had just brushed shoulders with death.
Zhang Yang looked back and sighed. Although this was the first time he had seen such a situation, it did not affect his understanding of what was happening.
"Abyss Ghost Clan? I didn't expect that even they would get involved in this world."
"For some unknown reason, all the gods in this world have been defeated or fallen. This means that this world no longer has the ability to defend or fight back, and ordinary people don't even know what happened."
"No wonder it's so easy to find followers of gods in this world. It's because they are powerless. Everyone is like lambs to be slaughtered! So, if there is a glimmer of hope, we must grab it with all our strength."
"However, the Abyss Ghost Clan and the sect represented by the paper man should not be in the same group. The details here are very frightening. Maybe I should stay away from this world that is about to be destroyed as soon as possible."
Zhang Yang thought so. He was very clear about his own strength and he didn't want to do anything that would put all his eggs in one basket.
The next day, just as Zhang Yang had expected, the entire Storm City fell into great grief and panic. The death of at least more than five thousand people turned the city into an ominous city.
Many people fled in panic, but soon, more people fled back to Storm City in despair.
Because the disaster that night was not limited to Storm City, many villages and towns were hit by a mysterious cold fog, and almost all people died overnight.
It was at this time that Zhang Yang's Mountain God Order received several messages.
"Broken-legged Robin was officially promoted to a fanatic follower of the mountain god Zhao Xianyu. Because of the special nature of Broken-legged Robin, Zhao Xianyu was promoted to a level 6 mountain god."
"The fanatic Broken Leg Robin sacrificed two god positions to the mountain god Zhao Xianyu, and Zhao Xianyu was promoted to a level 10 mountain god."
"The fanatic Broken Leg Robin was upgraded to the Earth Priest of the Mountain God Zhao Xianyu. He preached the power of the Mountain God Zhao Xianyu in Storm City and said that the savior was the Mountain God Zhao Xianyu. Therefore, the Mountain God Zhao Xianyu was upgraded to a Level 26 Mountain God."
"Mountain God Zhao Xianyu has 52 new fanatics!"
"Mountain God Zhao Xianyu has 243 new fanatics!"
"Mountain God Zhao Xianyu has 568 new fanatics!"
“…”
———
“Fuck!”
Zhang Yang was stunned! Is there such a god-like operation?
