Evil spirits.
It should be a ghost-type creature.
Ghost-type creatures are usually immune to physical damage because they have no physical form.
However, the magic damage you take will also be doubled.
Su Bai would definitely not be interested in a profession with such obvious flaws, especially since the conditions for changing professions are very demanding.
He glanced at the corpses around him.
I immediately understood.
These five bodies are likely victims who sacrificed themselves during a conversion ritual.
Below this ritual book was a diary.
Su Bai picked it up and examined it. The owner was unknown, but judging from the contents, it should have been left by the person who did all of this.
“My health is deteriorating, but as the village chief, I have to keep going. Li Wang might be able to take over my job, but he's too emotional in his approach to things and needs some training... The Blackwater Tribe's merchants will be arriving tomorrow.”
...
Su Bai opened the first page of the diary and saw this message. A name mentioned in it stirred something in his heart.
Blackwater Tribe.
That was one of the three major clans on Dragonfall Island.
But he didn't know the specifics. When he first arrived at Fallen Dragon Island, the three major clans had already become history.
Only those involved probably know what happened in the first place.
He continued reading.
"Priest Marin said there's a temple in the south where wishes can be granted. It's strange, I've lived here for so many years and never heard of such a place..."
...
"I went to that temple, but I can't remember what happened. I only remember making a wish, and when I came back, I had a strange statue in my hand..."
...
"This statue is so strange, it's really unsettling. Lorna even said she saw it moving at night... I have to throw it away!"
...
By this point in the diary, something was clearly amiss.
Scroll down further.
The person who recorded this information seemed very excited, as the writing was crooked and slanted, as if it had been written after some intense emotional fluctuation.
"The statue spoke... It told me a way to prolong my life, and only then did I realize what I had wished for in the temple..."
...
"This method is too evil. I can't possibly do what it says. It's an evil god!"
...
"That stupid boy from the Li family actually drowned... Alas, he was born dull-witted, I knew it would lead to tragedy sooner or later... Wait, the mind of a dullard, no! What am I thinking! I actually believed in the bewitching of that evil god!"
...
"Damn it, someone saw me digging up the body! I can't let this get out!"
...
"It must be that brat from the Wang family! He used to be unafraid of me, but now he runs away when he sees me. That brat has always done all sorts of evil deeds; he's a born scoundrel!"
...
Seeing this, it's not hard to see that the diary's author's thoughts have been manipulated.
From the very beginning, there was a rejection of statues.
They soon succumbed to the temptation to consider the feasibility of the transformation ritual.
Later on, he began to actively seek out 'sacrifices'.
How bad can a little kid be?
His assessment of "committing numerous evils" was clearly based on subjective intent.
Let's continue reading.
really.
The following content is all about the records of the transformation ritual.
It was pretty much the same as the information he had already deduced.
Su Bai flipped through it.
I lost interest in watching any further.
"Cults are harmful."
He sighed softly.
The owner of this diary eventually killed even his own daughter, turning her into a sacrifice, all because of the bewitching power of that statue.
It is clear that cult beliefs can be extremely harmful.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg in the world of immortality.
Gods and demons exist here.
Such incidents of being misled and causing tragedy are all too common.
It's hard to break off the relationship.
Su Bai only sighed slightly and didn't take it to heart.
What he cared about was a key point mentioned in the diary.
Temple.
The village is located to the south.
Isn't that the direction of the Twilight Temple that I'm about to go to?
He only knew that the Twilight Temple was a key prerequisite for opening a large secret realm, but he didn't know any of its inner workings.
The descriptions in this diary add a touch of eeriness to it.
"No matter what, I still have to go."
Su Bai shook his head.
That large secret realm is one of the three great opportunities of Fallen Dragon Island.
If he can succeed, he will gain access to a wealth of resources, which will give him a significant advantage in the early stages of his territory's development.
He cannot give up.
Putting down the diary, Su Bai continued to look at the other two items.
One of them was the treasure he had been longing for.
Village Construction Order
【Props】
[Level: Rare]
[Note: This token allows you to build an additional territory. It is consumed upon use.]
...
The value of this thing goes without saying.
Owning an additional territory means being able to recruit more people and occupy more land and resources.
In the early stages of the game.
Before the lords were able to declare war on one side.
Having more territory is a tremendous advantage.
If this token were put up for auction, whales like Six Glory and Azure Dragon would probably go crazy fighting over it.
But Su Bai definitely won't sell it.
Of course, having another territory also means he has to invest twice as many construction resources, but he has just earned some money and can afford it for now.
