Hei Tao carried Bai Liu on his back, jumping along the branches with fewer corpses. His movements were very large, and Bai Liu was swaying on him. In order to stabilize Bai Liu, Hei Tao first pulled Bai Liu's calf, then moved up to pull her thigh, and then...

Halfway through, Bai Liu calmly put down his legs, changing from riding on Hei Tao to sticking to Hei Tao's back, and put his hand that was about to move up to his buttocks on the side of Hei Tao: "I can hold you steady, there's no need to break up to hold me steady."

Spade let out an ungrateful "oh" and his posture of pulling back the whip suddenly became cold. He swung the shiny black bone whip with great force, and the twisting whip in the air was like a venomous snake exerting force in the air, and it swung fiercely on the corpse that jumped over from the branch, almost breaking the opponent in half with one whip.

Bai Liu looked at the corpse monster falling from the air with a dent in the middle of its body and asked: "Are you deliberately holding back your strength and not breaking it in half?"

"Yeah." Spade responded.

Without even turning his head, he whipped back with almost the same force, which only caused a dent in the middle of the corpse, making it difficult to move, but did not damage the overall structure of the corpse.

Hei Tao took the time to reply to Bai Liu: "These things cannot be killed. If they are broken into pieces, their number will increase, which is not a good thing."

Bai Liu suddenly became interested and asked him, "You were so reckless when playing games before, just killing monsters without caring about the quantity or quality of the monsters. Why do you treat these monsters carefully in this game?"

"Because these monsters are not coming for me." Heitao turned his head and glanced at Bai Liu calmly, "They are coming for you."

Hei Tao didn't finish his words, but Bai Liu already understood what he meant.

White Willow is quiet.

As soon as Hei Tao finished speaking, a dirty and exposed belly flew over from behind Bai Liu, and was ruthlessly whipped away by Hei Tao.

Even with the combo that sent such a rotten, open belly flying, Spade's control of strength was enough to prevent any organs from falling out, ensuring that the number of these monsters did not increase.

Bai Liu was silent for a moment, then changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "Aren't you going to ask me why Nishen and the others were tied up? This happened to your teammates, and considering their strength, this is a strange thing."

"Oh." Heitao nodded as if he had just remembered something, and continued to speak halfheartedly, "They were kidnapped, but what does this have to do with me?"

Bai Liu: “…”

Bai Liu said slowly: "You are teammates in the league. For various reasons, you should show appropriate concern for the safety of your teammates at this time."

Spade understood quickly, and he immediately said, "I will take care of them now."

He pulled out a golden bell from his waist, half the size of his palm. Seeing Bai Liu looking at it inquiringly, Heitao explained, "This is a reward item from an ancient game dungeon. It's called the Twin Bells. When one vibrates, the other will also vibrate."

"We have cleared three dungeons and found six bells in total. All of them are tied to vibrations. If one bell vibrates, the other five bells will also vibrate. In some ancient or modern dungeons where modern instruments cannot be used for communication, the God of Rebellion requires us to use this bell to communicate."

Heitao said: "Ni Shen has also specially formulated a set of codes for the vibration frequency of this bell. Different vibrations represent different meanings."

Bai Liurao commented with interest: "This is a good communication tool."

Without saying anything, Heitao took out a bell from the system panel and handed it to Bai Liu: "I have two. I'll give you one."

Bai Liu glanced at the bell with a half-smile, but didn't answer it: "You guys use it to communicate with each other in the team, and you're just going to give it to me so easily?"

Heitao looked at Bai Liu and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "You also gave me your team communication props, why can't I give it to you?"

Bai Liu was silent for a moment - he actually sold it to Hei Tao for 10,000 points.

Hei Tao threw the bell directly backwards into Bai Liu's arms, then he held the whip in one hand and the bell in the other and started shaking it quickly.

The sound of bells ringing came from Bai Liu's arms and in the distance at the same time, startling many corpses in the forest, and they all moved towards the place where the bells were ringing.

The spades were shaking violently and vigorously. Bai Liu watched for a while but could not figure out any pattern. The pattern of the spades' shaking did not match any code Bai Liu knew. He had to ask, "Are you using the bell code of Nishen to tell them something?"

Spade said, "I don't remember the bell code set by the God of Rebellion."

Bai Liu paused for a moment, his eyes shifted to the bell that Heitao was still shaking rapidly: "So what are you doing...?"

Spade answered very frankly: "Didn't you ask me to care about them? I just care about them."

Bai Liu: “…”

His gaze moved down to the bell, and then looked from afar at the Killer Sequence members who were tied to the wooden stakes and screaming because the abnormal sound of the bell attracted a large number of corpses to approach.

Bai Liu silently withdrew his gaze and looked at Hei Tao who had finally stopped ringing the bell.

Hei Tao turned around and looked at him: "Do you still need me to pay attention to them?"

Bai Liu: “No need.”

He finally understood why Nishen was willing to give him 5 million points so that he could help educate Spade.

Across the lake.

Bai Yi looked at the corpses that kept approaching him, and screamed like a chicken being held by four butchers and about to be slaughtered: "Fuck! Who is ringing the bell?!"

Bai Jiamu interrupted Bai Yi's screams in despair: "Can you stop? The sound of you and the bells are almost giving me a concussion!"

"Only one of us, me or Lingdang, can stop!" Bai Yi kicked the corpses that were crawling up from below and yelled at the top of his voice, "Nishen, Warmaster, who among us is shaking Lingdang? Make him stop now!"

Nishen, who was tied to the wooden stake, sighed deeply, "It's like this, Bai Yi. The hands of the four of us are tied very tightly. Logically, we don't have the ability to ring the bell, so the person who rang the bell should not be here."

Bai Yi understood instantly, and he choked with sobs, "Is it that our sixth bell was stolen? I said at the beginning that only five bells would be enough, and the extra one should be destroyed instead of kept. If the sixth bell fell into the hands of others, it would be a huge hidden danger, but Ni Shen insisted on keeping this one, saying that this bell has its own owner. See, now something went wrong..."

Bai Jiamu rolled his eyes and interrupted Bai Yi's mumbling: "Idiot, it's not the sixth bell, it's Spade that's ringing the bell."

Bai Yi instantly suppressed his miserable expression and sternly retorted, "That's impossible. I've never seen Hei Tao ring the bell since he got it. He doesn't know how to ring it."

"Just because it never happened doesn't mean it won't happen now." Bo Jiamu replied speechlessly, "This is not going to be easy. If Spade can't make it, please contact us..."

When Bai Jiamu said this, he also paused when he saw Bai Yi's subtle look: "Do you think this is possible?"

"I once saw Hei Tao stepping on the bell and whipping it with a whip, trying to break it," Bai Yi recalled. "I was shocked at the time and stepped forward to stop him and asked him why he did this."

Nishen was also very shocked: "This is an important prop that I worked hard to save during the game and used for communication within the team. Why did he do this!"

Bai Yi replied dimly, "Because he was very annoyed. It kept vibrating and he couldn't turn it off, so he just wanted to smash it."

Nishen's face was about to crack: "That's because he didn't reply to our messages at all! We were just exchanging game information fiercely!"

Bai Yi smacked his lips and said, "Actually, I understand why Heitao hates this bell. It's like when there are a lot of people chatting in a work group, and you can't leave the group, and you can't block messages from your boss, so your phone keeps vibrating."

"But Spade is alone and having a great time playing the game, he doesn't want to be disturbed..."

Nishen's eyes froze, like an old father who was hit hard by his rebellious son who bought him a toy he didn't like: "...So he wanted to smash the bell I gave him?"

Bai Yi stepped hard on the corpse below, looked at Ni Shen with sympathy, and decided to skip the topic: "So I don't think Spade is the one who is shaking. He probably didn't even bring out the bell in this game."

Nishen shook his head: "No, it must be Spade who is shaking."

Bai Yi asked suspiciously, "No way, where did we put the sixth bell? Is it possible that this person is the one who is shaking it?"

Nishen's eyes widened: "It must be Spades shaking..."

"The sixth bell was originally in the warehouse, but Spade told me last time that his bell was broken and he couldn't participate in the team discussion. So I opened the warehouse before this game and gave the sixth bell to Spade with great care. I told him that this was an item I had obtained with great difficulty, and asked him to take good care of it and not to break it again. I didn't expect that he broke it on his own initiative..."

Nishen looked very sad when he finished speaking.

Bai Yi: “…”

Bai Jiamu: “…”

...What's going on? This is a pitiful story of an honest father who worked hard to earn money to buy toys for his son, but the ungrateful son just threw the toys away because he didn't like them and even lied to his father that he was careless.

"But Nishen." Bai Jiamu turned his head and looked at Nishen beside him, "How do you know that when those indigenous zombies come to capture us, we should not attack them, but surrender and let them kidnap us, so that they will not merge and devour us again in a short time?"

Nishen calmly looked at the wooden sculpture of the evil god in front of him: "Because the old evil god statue is broken, a new evil god statue is needed to rotate. This rotation usually means that the powerful old evil god has a crack, and he needs to find the next generation of successors for himself, the new evil god."

"This kind of religious rotation requires a large-scale sacrifice and ritual to support it. When the conflict between the old and new gods is particularly intense, this rotation is usually accompanied by a huge war."

Nishen lowered his eyes to look at the charred corpses and continued:

"The birth ceremony of a new evil god requires sacrifices and witnesses. The sacrifices are those who oppose the evil god, and the witnesses are those who have experienced the history of the evil god."

Nishen said calmly: "There is no better sacrifice and witness than us, the new sect. They will not easily assimilate us. They need us to remain conscious to witness the rituals of the new gods. This is a respect for the new gods."

While they were talking, the fifth wooden pole next to them kept its head down, as if the unconscious Alex slowly opened his eyes.

He raised his head and looked straight at the wooden sculpture of the evil god in front of him, with an ambiguous smile full of anger and sadness on the corner of his mouth.

The wooden sculpture of the evil god standing in the center had obvious signs of repair. The head of the sculpture, which had been chopped with a scalpel and shot once, stood on the wooden body with a smile, overlooking the dancing corpses in front of him and the five sacrifices tied to the wooden stakes with scarred yet compassionate eyes.

In front of the wooden sculpture of the evil god, there stands a huge piece of wood. The wood is split in the middle, and from the cross-section, it can be seen that the material is the same as that used to carve the wooden sculpture of the evil god.

The corpses raised their hands shakily, holding axes and chisels to carve on this cross-section. The outline of a new wood sculpture can already be seen from this cross-section. As the corpses' carving work progresses, this wood sculpture born from the log becomes more and more lifelike and realistic.

The new evil god wooden sculpture gradually took on a human form.

Bai Yi looked at the eyes of the wood sculpture for a few more times. After playing so many games, he felt an indescribable chill for the first time. He gently lifted the Bai Jiamu next to him with his foot and whispered, "Hey, am I seeing things? The more I look at this wood sculpture, the more it looks like--"

Nishen took a deep breath and looked at the smiling wooden sculpture of the new evil god: "——Bai Liu, huh?"
