Chapter 197 Local Gang: Those monks from other places are so damn evil!
The inn in the desert has been turned upside down, but the Demon Cult didn't pay much attention to it, leaving only a few people to guard it. It must have been just a casual thing they did while passing by.
Their current focus should be on those remote areas.
However, the inn was too conspicuous, so they didn't pay much attention to it.
Gu Fangchen, with his experience in understanding the Demon Cult's actions better than the Demon Cult itself, successfully avoided the Demon Cult's search and took the National Master to the ruins.
This relic in the game is a copy called [Blood God Altar].
Although it looks like a relatively high-level relic and does contain many resources, in fact, these resources are traps prepared for sacrifice.
In other words, this entire ruins is a deliberately placed bait to trap those practitioners who discover this place.
Once you get hold of certain items, you will be marked by the evil spirits inside and then devoured and sacrificed to the "Blood God".
The so-called "Blood God" was a great evil spirit from the underworld that was believed in by a sect called "Blood God Cult" in Qingman.
Most of the Qingman people's beliefs are primitive worship of limbs and flesh.
The most orthodox is the belief in "gods" and "heroes" of the four major tribes of Qingman. Using the remains of these two to cast spells can make their spiritual will descend or possess, greatly increasing strength, or achieving all kinds of incredible miracles.
In addition, there are many other branches, and the things they worship are much more bizarre.
This "Blood God Cult" is one of the most evil sects among them, and it worships the great evil spirit under the Nine Netherworlds!
By sacrificing blood and food, they opened the Nine Nether Rift, established a stable connection with it, and sought refuge.
Therefore, they set up numerous altars to offer blood and food.
But later, due to the defeat of Qingman, Mohai became the territory of Wei, and these altars were buried in yellow sand and turned into so-called ruins.
However, the essential function remains the same, which is to seduce people and then sacrifice them.
But if it were in the past, who knows how many "Blood God" followers would be lurking and ambushing in the dark of this altar.
But now, there are no living people in these ruins.
They were all dead, and had been affected by Jiuyou's power for a long time, turning into a bunch of evil living dead.
The concept of sacrifice did not exist in their minds. They simply hunted living people out of hunger. The altar also lost its original main function.
Of course, at this moment, the practitioners in Mohai did not have such a deep understanding of this relic. They thought it was just the remains of another sect that was destroyed in the previous dynasty.
At this moment, although the people of the Spirit Snake Cave said that they would buy up the entire relic, they would not actually do so.
But in name only, they all have to be called the Spirit Snake Cave.
Practitioners rarely have a complete monopoly on the exploration of ruins. For example, if the [Dao Sword Palace] is born, Jiange will also entrust other sects to carry out the development.
After all, exploring ruins is risky, and relying entirely on one's own trial and error is too costly. In the early stages, one will still find some independent cultivators and let them sacrifice their lives first.
As for whether they can survive and keep what they have obtained, that depends on their own abilities.
Anyway, everyone knows what is going on in each other's minds.
It's all a matter of mutual consent.
The casual cultivator that Gu Fangchen pretended to be was called Cheng Tai. He had reached the peak of the sixth rank in cultivation. Because he knew some formations, he was somewhat famous in the Mohai area. He often worked as a thug for various sects and did dirty work. He was considered a professional mercenary among the cultivators.
And this time, he also received an invitation from the Spirit Snake Cave.
This is because Gu Fangchen observed the candidate for a period of time before deciding on him.
Although he knew the time when the ruins would be opened, it was impossible for him to know the identity of every person involved in the operation, so he could only rely on his own judgment.
However, he was very clear about the results of this exploration of the ruins.
Because no one who entered the ruins this time survived.
Total destruction.
…
"Everyone, I believe you all know the requirements. Everyone who enters the ruins this time needs to sign a soul contract."
A purple-robed elder from the Spirit Snake Cave, with a hissing, blood-veined venomous snake hanging from his shoulder, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the many wandering cultivators below, and said calmly:
"If you are dissatisfied with the requirements, you can withdraw now."
He stretched out his hand and waved it, and pages of paper flew and fell into everyone's hands.
Gu Fangchen pinched his finger and glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Anything obtained that is of the best quality or above will belong to the Spirit Snake Cave, and anything below the best quality will be shared with the Spirit Snake Cave 70% and 30% of the total.
There are seven people in the Spirit Snake Cave and three independent cultivators!
This local gang is so rude and so evil!
The best quality in the game is only purple.
Even in the early stages of development, a normal player with a sixth-grade cultivation level would have at least half of their equipment be purple, and this is just the average level of training!
A high-level player like Gu Fangchen would have already been wearing rare (gold) equipment.
And these independent cultivators in Mo Hai really don't have any human rights at all!
Cheng Tai was considered to be doing quite well, but he only had a piece of fine (blue) soft armor and a top-quality sword.
The next time you go to a dungeon, you will have to sign a similar blood-and-sweat contract. Not only will you have to hand over most of the things you get to the sect, but you may not get anything at all.
Because the contract only states that it must be handed over, and that both parties cannot attack each other while inside the ruins. It doesn't mention that they can't snatch it away afterwards...
However, the casual cultivators around seemed to be indifferent to it, and it was obvious that they were used to it.
And at this moment, Gu Fangchen felt several sinister gazes falling on him, very vigilant and full of malice.
It seems that Cheng Tai is indeed famous, and these people are now on guard against him.
Gu Fangchen narrowed his eyes. There was no extra tampering with the soul contract. It must be that the Spirit Snake Cave knew how dangerous the [Blood God Altar] was, and treated these casual cultivators as cannon fodder, and was too lazy to waste time on dead people.
However, although Gu Fangchen is not interested in the things here, he will definitely not give them up.
He pulled out an unrefined soul from the "Soul Bottle" and transferred the contract to the soul using the death-substitution technique.
A red light suddenly flashed on the page in front of him, symbolizing the establishment of the contract.
Some independent cultivators who found it difficult to accept these conditions waved their sleeves and left.
The purple-robed elder took a quick look, narrowed his eyes, and quietly made a gesture to the disciple next to him, obviously not intending to leave anyone alive.
Then, he turned around and joined forces with several other elders to break the formation of the ruins.
"Boom..."
The gate of the ruins opened to both sides, and a gloomy and decayed smell hit us in the face.
The purple-robed elder made a gesture of invitation:
"Please show your talents!"
Gu Fangchen waited until most of the others had left before he flew into the ruins. After flying through the gate of the ruins, he stopped right where he was.
The purple-robed elder was startled and frowned:
"Cheng Tai, if you want to regret it now, it's too late!"
Gu Fangchen said with a smile:
"Of course I'm not regretting it, but there's something I need to do."
After saying that, he cut his palm directly, cast a spell with blood, chanted the difficult Qingman language, and as a "priest", directly activated the real Blood God Altar that had been silent for a long time.
"boom!"
A thick beam of blood light enveloped the entire ruins and shot up into the sky.
In an instant, blood-red lines appeared on the door and it quickly closed.
Gu Fangchen smiled brightly, waved outside, and disappeared through the crack in the door.
Purple-robed elder: “…???”
He looked at the scene in shock, and didn't react for at least three seconds. Then he immediately rushed up and knocked on the door of the ruins. However, this time the formation on it was not the formation used by later people to seal the altar, but the formation of the altar itself.
After attacking for a long time without any results, they could only stare blankly in silence.
After a while, he realized that the blood-red light rising into the sky had already attracted the attention of all the monks in the desert sea. The purple-robed elder's face twisted and he cursed out a string of obscenities...
…
Gu Fangchen turned around, and Xu Fu looked at him thoughtfully beside him and said coldly:
"You really didn't come to these ruins just to help me break the Soul Locking Formation."
“Pah.”
Gu Fangchen snapped his fingers:
"Of course."
"What do you want to do with this Qingman Ruins?"
"Master Imperial Master, why don't you take a guess~"
Gu Fangchen looked at the dark ruins passage in front of him and walked down the stone stairs with a smile.
The remains of the "Blood God Cult" are almost spread throughout the entire desert sea.
All the altars are connected to each other and can form a huge sacrificial formation, but the "Blood God Cult" of that year perished before it could successfully launch it.
And now, only Gu Fangchen knows how to restart it.
The most central starting node is this relic!
Although Gu Fangchen had a smile on his face, his eyes were as cold as stars.
Perhaps it was because of his current status as a "priest," or perhaps it was due to something else...
The evil spirits lurking in the darkness around them trembled subconsciously, shrank into the corner, and knelt down when he passed by.
If Gu Yuye had already obtained the new military formation from the [Military Immortal's Tomb], he would definitely summon the Xuanhuang Army and march all of them into the Desert Sea...
