Chapter 50 Sacrifice (please recommend and vote for the monthly ticket)
Ten minutes ago, in the sky of the abandoned city.
The Soul-Snatching Demon Cloud stretched out a pale hand like a giant, as if it wanted to touch the buildings in the Abyss City, but just as it stretched out, it was bounced away by the starlight barrier. A
large number of cracks like broken porcelain appeared on the arm in an instant, and soon shattered with a snap. The fragments turned into dozens of mini versions of the Soul-Snatching Demon Cloud, which were full of cracks, and followed it around.
Although there were no eyes, Lu Yu could feel that it was looking greedily at the creatures on the ground.
Is it going to attack?
Lu Yu couldn't help holding his breath, his mind tense.
However, the next moment, the Soul-Snatching Demon Cloud did not continue to attack, but turned around, hid its body, and returned to the abandoned city area.
"It seems that it is also afraid of the power of the alliance..."
Lu Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.
If a fight really broke out, he couldn't shout "Stop fighting, stop fighting", after all, this thing can really kill people.
Fortunately, the foundation of Dayuan City is much stronger than he imagined. The Soul-Snatching Demon Cloud not only failed to threaten Dayuan City, but was directly injured by the backlash. It was not evenly matched, but was one level lower.
No wonder it has been able to stand on the border for many years.
Lu Yu was pleasantly surprised by this. After all, he was a legitimate member of the alliance, and could be considered the future successor of the alliance. Although he might not get the job, at least he could still turn to someone for help when he was in trouble.
"Shushu is almost suffocated to death!"
Hamster squeezed his furry head out of Lu Yu's hand with difficulty, looked outside through the gap, his small eyes revealing happiness: "Huh... it's finally over, this big guy has been coming out more and more frequently recently, and I don't know what he goes to the outskirts of the city to peek at every day. Does he want to go in and play like Shushu?"
Lu Yu was shocked when he heard it: "Wait, are you saying that this is not the first time it has been close to the city?"
"Yeah, this guy came with that group of guys in black, and they come out to wander around every few days, and each time they get closer to the city. It's too scary. But after those guys finish the ceremony, the things left behind are quite delicious, and it also gives me the ability to control shadows." Shushu said after wiping his saliva.
This answer made Lu Yu stunned. A light bulb suddenly lit up his head and he caught a clue. He hurriedly asked, "When did you become a supernatural being?"
"According to your human time, it seems to be two and a half months ago..."
Shushu gave the answer without hesitation. After all, it was stressful to just eat and wait for death every day, so he remembered the time very clearly.
While speaking, it subconsciously twisted its body to make it more convenient for Lu Yu to touch it, but it suddenly froze in the process.
What's going on! ?
When did I become the shape of this perverted cultivator!
Did this human use some kind of illusion to confuse my consciousness? Or was it the... depravity
that I saw on TV when I was at the home of the first little girl owner ? Shushu's eyes were dim and he turned on the autistic mode. But Lu Yu didn't pay attention to it. He narrowed his eyes and found an important clue that he had overlooked: "In the information about Shushu given by the Eye of Truth, it was said that it was transformed after stealing the blood of the followers after the evil god's sacrificial ceremony." Because in the information released by the alliance to the outside world, the abandoned city was abandoned because the evil god's followers were killed and the battlefield was corrupted by rust. In addition, the abandoned city has been quiet for decades, so he didn't think there was a seal in it at first. Lu Yu thought that Shushu had stolen the blood of the followers in other places and fled to the abandoned city where monsters live. But in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find the problem... Although rust is troublesome, would the cost of getting rid of it be more expensive than rebuilding a new city? Impossible! In this world where pets are integrated into all walks of life, it is entirely possible to let some rust-eating pets do the cleaning. But the Alliance did not do so, which shows that there is some kind of unstable factor in the abandoned city area, which is likely to cause greater losses, but they did not move away, but built a new city next door. It is said to be a buffer zone, but it is more like watching something, such as the evil god's follower who did not die decades ago, but was sealed in it. The new city is closer, so the situation can be observed at any time. If the opponent breaks the seal, the Hundred Beasts Tower can be used to suppress it in the first time. Then everything can be explained. According to the time that the silhouette mouse told him, many clues were organized into a complete timeline in his mind: two and a half months ago, the mysterious man came with the Soul-Snatching Demon Cloud, found the location where the evil god's followers were sealed, and performed a sacrifice, but failed to successfully unlock the seal in the end. The abandoned city area was allowed to be occupied by monsters without worrying about the seal being broken. It is probably because the core of the seal is in the Abyss City, and the most likely one is the Starry Beast Tower that is like a guardian god. Therefore, they can only hide in the abandoned city area to find opportunities to destroy the Starry Beast Tower. But because a powerful monster like the Soul-Snatching Demon Cloud needs to eat a large amount of souls every once in a while, it will often go out hunting. The corpses whose souls were eaten by it will naturally be shared by the rest of the monsters, and their great spirituality will promote their evolution. For example, a certain individual among the Mad Hyenas can curb their crazy evolution. After the Mad Hyenas gain wisdom, they discover the existence of the Soul-Snatching Demon Cloud. Because of fear, they run to occupy the edge of the abandoned city where the number of monsters is scarce, in order to avoid being hunted. Unfortunately, the Soul-Snatching Demon Cloud does not hunt by instinct, but is controlled by someone behind it. Therefore, its feeding path will get closer and closer to the edge of the Abyss City, testing the power of the Hundred Beasts Tower. Every time it comes, the Mad Hyenas, who have sharp intuition and enhanced perception by their tentacles, will feel the danger. Being crazy doesn't mean mindlessly committing suicide. Fear may also cause them to regain their sanity. Faced with the suppression of higher-level monsters, those with low IQs will naturally instinctively flee in the opposite direction and impact the rune iron net that separates the border.
The reason for this inference is not that Lu Yu is making it up, but when he came here before, he saw the rune iron nets. Although they had been attacked, most of them were in a mess, and each time the location was different, like the chaotic scratches left by the hyenas in a state of panic.
After being discovered by the owners of the Emerald Community, it still caused panic, and they jointly issued a mission - to eliminate the hyenas.
But even so, after completing the mission, even if most people witnessed the soul-stealing magic cloud, they would at most think that a terrifying monster had settled in the abandoned city.
Even the official was not clear about their specific purpose, and only thought that they wanted to attack the city and sacrifice humans like the rest of the evil god cult.
However, Lu Yu connected all these fragmented events together through the information prompted by the Eye of Truth.
It was discovered that the evil god cult this time was different from the previous small fights. They not only knew the existence of the seal, but also had collected some of the blood of the followers. At the same time, they used the soul-stealing magic cloud to test the operating mechanism of the tower, trying to destroy it and take the opportunity to release the sealed evil god followers.
Once successful, millions of people in the entire Abyss City may be sacrificed and become food for the evil god.
"Why do I feel so much like becoming the protagonist of an investigator in a detective novel, and just happened to fall into the plan of an evil organization..."
Lu Yu complained. I don't know why my luck has been so bad since I crossed over.
Are handsome people targeted?
If so, it's even worse, otherwise it doesn't match this face value!
And he also found another problem.
If these mysterious evil god followers came two and a half months ago, and if the time for preparing the ceremony and digging the blood of the family is counted, it is exactly the time when his parents were in trouble and he awakened the Eye of Truth. Is
this really just a coincidence?
It's a pity that the Eye of Truth is not an omniscient eye, and the information obtained is still limited, and it is impossible to explore the other party's origin and the next plan.
But even if he knew, he would not be like the protagonist of a detective novel, relying on his passion and rashly mixing in the layout between such big figures.
In reality, there is no protagonist halo, and it is easy to get yourself involved if you are not careful.
All he can do is...
call the police!
Use Mist to send an anonymous letter to the Alliance, write some intelligence to increase credibility, let them know that the seal is being pried, and they must do their best to deal with this evil god cult.
This is a plan to drive the tiger to swallow the wolf.
Even if they cannot be annihilated, they can be suppressed to the point where they shrink and cannot implement their plans, giving themselves more safe time to improve their strength.
"Still too weak, such a good opportunity is missed."
Lu Yu sighed. If he had the strength above Morning Star, he could completely extract the Soul-Snatching Demon Cloud and even the sealed evil god's followers as materials.
For capitalists, not making money is a loss.
Are they leaving?
After waiting for a while, he looked up at the sky and found that although the Soul-Snatching Demon Cloud had flown away, the offspring that differentiated after one of its pale arms was shattered did not return, but descended to the earth and began to attack monsters indiscriminately.
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
Because of the special soul interference magnetic field, it is a complete dimensionality reduction attack for ordinary monsters. After being shocked, it directly hugs the target's head with the tactile bracelet, squirming and sucking the soul.
As the monsters fell one after another, the cracks on their bodies began to gradually repair.
Lu Yu looked at these terrifying sub-bodies, not only was he not afraid, but a bold idea emerged in his mind...
A new day continues to ask for recommendation votes, monthly tickets, and likes. Just a little preparation, a new and exciting plot is about to start. Shushu's ability will be very terrifying in the future. You can guess it. If you have good suggestions, you can leave a message.
