Chapter 295
After the other party responded like this, even Zhou Qi fell silent.
He said this purely for show, and what he mainly wanted to express was what he said before - the Shangshen Sect and Yanlong Fort were not enemies.
As for asking them to join the Shangshen Sect now, that was totally unthought of.
Unexpectedly, the other party responded so readily?
Qin Jianping's teammates also looked at him with a look of astonishment, "Captain, you...did you say something wrong just now?"
Qin Jianping has a lot of grievances that he can't express.
When he faced the man in the black mask, the fear in his heart was something he had never felt before, so much so that...
There's no way to refuse his request!
He thought of something and looked at another team member next to him who was injured like him, and saw that he looked relieved.
Obviously, he almost responded just now!
An awkward atmosphere spread across the scene, and at this moment, a clear and gentle young voice rang out.
"It's getting late and you are injured. Why don't you stay here tonight and leave tomorrow?" said the man with the silver mask.
Although he had just given them first aid using light healing techniques, the injuries from the backlash were difficult to heal quickly, and they still needed time to recuperate.
"We can't get in at all!" said a female team member angrily.
"As long as you let go of your ill will towards the Shangshen Cult, you will be able to enter."
The silver-masked man whispered, "The purpose of the Merchant God Cult is to uphold the will of the God of Commerce, ensuring that all poor and weak people have access to water, food, and shelter, and that barren lands prosper."
"We established the Flame Dragon Home here to take in all the weaklings abandoned by Flame Dragon Castle, so that they can have a place to stay. We never intended to start a war with Flame Dragon Castle."
Upon hearing this, Qin Jianping and the others looked at each other in surprise.
They received a mission that said a new evil cult was causing trouble near Yanlong Fort, and in order to extinguish their flames, they were sent to kill the cult leader.
If this religion is really what the man in the silver mask said, then it doesn't sound... evil?
but……
"Why should we trust you?"
"As long as you can put aside your prejudices, enter the Shangshen Sect, and truly understand the Shangshen Sect's philosophy and purpose, you will know that everything I say is absolutely true."
A look of hesitation appeared on Qin Jianping's face.
He was indeed very curious about the power of the Shangshen Cult, whether it was the power that instantly repelled them here, or the method of healing the backlash -
Yes, he still remembered how he turned into a giant scorpion due to backlash.
Backlash is uncontrollable. In the early stages of the backlash, there is still a possibility of turning back into human form. But when they reach this level, it becomes increasingly difficult to turn back into human form and regain sanity.
Fortress has been researching ways to control the backlash, but with little success.
But today, he met someone who mastered this method...
If he agreed just now because of the fear in his heart, then now, Qin Jianping has a reason to do so.
After some thought, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, we'll stay tonight, and please don't break your promise."
"Don't worry, you can leave anytime you want, no one will stop you."
Tang Yu'an sent a message on the store channel of Store No. 21 to inform Lao Mo and Gan Lin.
"You wait here, someone will come to pick you up."
After he finished speaking, Tang Yu'an took Zhou Qi's hand, and the shadow umbrella immediately floated over, covering their heads and hiding their figures.
"They left?"
Qin Jianping's team members looked at the companion who could teleport, "Lin Song, did you see clearly how they left?"
Lin Song shook his head blankly.
Seeing this, his teammates had no choice but to give up and asked, "Captain, do you really want to stay tonight?"
Qin Jianping explained his ideas to them.
"I see." The others breathed a sigh of relief. "We thought you were a traitor."
Qin Jianping rolled his eyes.
Then he stood up with the help of his teammates and prepared to go in, but he heard the teammates say that they couldn't get in.
Because he encountered a backlash after being teleported here, Qin Jianping was not aware of this detail.
He thought for a moment and said, "Didn't those two masked men say that if you put aside your ill intentions, you can go in."
Then, he took a few tentative steps forward—he was not sent out, nor was he forced to walk back in his mind.
The team members looked at each other and then tried to move forward.
This time, Lin Song succeeded.
Seeing this, Tang Yu'an and Zhou Qi stopped observing and turned to fly towards the RV that was heading towards them.
"Brother Xiaoqi, are you really okay?"
As soon as they entered the RV and made sure that no one could see them, Tang Yu'an reached out to lift Zhou Qi's mask.
Under the mask, Zhou Qi's skin had a metallic luster.
Tang Yu'an was stunned and quickly reached out to touch his cheek.
It's hard and has a metallic coolness.
"Brother Xiaoqi?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Zhou Qi pulled his hand down.
His palms were just as hard, but his fingers were flexible, and he looked like a robot.
"This situation has occurred because I haven't fully absorbed the power of the gold spirit insect yet. I just need to wait for a while."
Tang Yu'an quickly pulled him into the RV and came to the cabin in the other dimension through the teleportation array.
"Are you going to the Giant Woods to train?"
"It's okay, I'll be fine in the yard."
Zhou Qi reached out and patted the top of Tang Yu'an's head, "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Then he sat down on the spot and began to refine the golden spirit insect trapped in his palm.
In his other palm, there was a fire-type spirit insect trapped, whose strength was slightly weaker than that of the gold-type spirit insect.
However, Zhou Qi had already swallowed a fire spirit insect, and fire overcomes metal, so he completely suppressed the gold spirit insect.
Seeing Zhou Qi close his eyes, Tang Yu'an did not disturb him.
Fire crystals were arranged around him - they were exchanged from Shanfeng, they were extremely large, one could replace hundreds of the previous ones.
Then he returned to the cabin and came to the Thousand Layer Forest through the teleportation array. Although less than a day had passed in this plane, three or four days had passed here.
As soon as Tang Yu'an walked out of the house, he saw two giants guarding outside, with worried looks on their faces.
"Shanfeng, Sasa, I'm back!"
"Little cutie, where have you been? I thought you left!" Sasa said.
"We went back home and had some things to take care of." Tang Yu'an said vaguely, "Do you want some chocolate?"
"Chocolate? What's that?"
“A delicious food!”
After upgrading to lv28, you can unlock chocolates that not only have different sizes but also different levels of sweetness.
After Sasa expressed her desire to try it, he chose a sweeter white chocolate for her.
This sweet treat immediately captured the heart of the giantess!
So Tang Yu'an happily exchanged for another super-large crystal and was allowed to continue collecting leaves from the Thousand Layer Forest.
Although my parents haven't come to a conclusion yet, these leaves are very good materials and it would be a waste not to pick them up.
Moreover, the wind spiritual energy in the Thousand Layer Forest is very rich.
Tang Yu'an's practice here is more effective than in the giant forest.
So, he and Zhou Qi stayed in the other dimension for another two months, until the store No. 21 became popular enough, and they returned to the RV again.
On this side of the plane, less than six days had passed.
Tang Yu'an judged that Lao Mo and Gan Lin's mission was completed, and then began a series of upgrades.
He also took out the magical furniture needed for the branch upgrade directly from the warehouse and placed it in the Yanlong Home, raising the level to lv3 in one go.
Next, activate the two all-weather functions of the Guardian Barrier and then activate the overnight function, adding all the believers in the Flame Dragon Home to the list...
When the protective barrier opened, everyone felt it.
Lao Mo and Gan Lin, who were sitting in the square distributing supplies and collecting fire stones, and Qin Jianping and others who were watching nearby, all looked up at the sky at the same time.
A coolness that has never been felt since birth brushes across everyone's body.
Although it is the dormant period of the fire dragon, the temperature in the Yanlong Castle area is much higher than other places, and has always been maintained at around 40℃.
And now…
Tang Yu'an turned on the computer and took a look.
After the protective barrier was opened, the ambient temperature reached 30℃, a direct drop of 10℃!
Although 30℃ is not considered low, it is much lower than the outside temperature. It is also considered cool for people who have lived in this area for a long time.
"It seems that high temperature is also a destructive natural disaster." Tang Yu'an nodded with satisfaction.
"With the protective barrier in place, we can continue with the rest of the work!"
He and Zhou Qi flew towards the altar where Lao Mo and others were. The altar had become noisy, and everyone was discussing the reason for the sudden drop in temperature.
Lao Mo naturally knew that this should be the function of the protective barrier, and he couldn't help but marvel at it.
At the same time, he was also thinking about how to make everyone think of the miracle...
But soon, he stopped thinking, because——
In full view of the crowd, two cloaked men wearing masks, one silver and one black, appeared out of thin air above the altar again.
"Congratulations, you have passed the test of the God of Business."
A gentle, clear, young man's voice echoed in everyone's ears. "The protective barrier has been opened. From now on, you must abide by the rules of the church, steadfastly fulfill the teachings, and build your new home here."
"Thank you for the gift of God! We will definitely abide by the rules and fulfill the teachings of the religion and build the Flame Dragon homeland into a prosperous and strong one!"
Lao Mo raised his arms and shouted, then knelt down to the two messengers of God.
Seeing this, the believers hurriedly followed suit.
Only Qin Jianping and others had complicated expressions.
To be honest, this scene looked like a cult sacrificial site. However, the longer they stayed here, the more they realized that this Shangshen Cult was completely different from what they had imagined!
Every believer living here, except children and pregnant women, must obtain food and water through labor.
The priests and saints who they considered evil also personally distributed supplies to every believer every day.
Judging from the believers' familiar behavior, it was obvious that this was not done for show.
I just don't know what the Shangshen Cult is doing with all those Fire Stones, and where the Fire Stones obtained through trade have gone...
And now, they have witnessed a new power - the protective barrier!
When they were shocked and confused, Yin Guang raised his hand again, asked everyone to stop shouting, and said to Lao Mo: "Lead the way, it's time to fulfill my promise to you."
The priest, who was usually expressionless in the eyes of others, became visibly agitated.
“Okay, okay!”
Lao Mo stood up and said respectfully, "Silver Light Divine Envoy, Black Moon Divine Envoy, please come this way."
Because Lao Mo and the two messengers did not stop them, the believers and Qin Jianping and others followed them curiously, wanting to see what they were up to.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at a hillside.
At the foot of the hillside is a lake that has dried up for at least ten years, leaving behind a huge pit. The creatures in the pit have basically died out and are covered by yellow sand.
"Silver Light Divine Envoy, this is it!"
The cloaked man wearing a silver mask nodded slightly, and then flew into the air under the gaze of everyone.
Then he raised his hand and waved gently towards the dried-up lake.
Suddenly, an extremely huge water ball appeared out of thin air at his feet, and fell into the lake with a loud bang, directly filling half of the huge deep pit!
On the hillside, jaws dropped.
