Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Bai Tianming blinked his eyes,...
Bai Tianming blinked and looked at Sada, hesitant to speak: "What about you?"
Sada smiled and said, "Although I think this place is nice, I am a demon after all. The most suitable place for me is hell. I should stay there. I won't stay here for long, so don't worry."
He paused, lowering his eyes. With an inexplicable pity, he said, "This place is so nice. I can't bear to start a fight and destroy anything. Besides, you're here."
Bai Tianming was silent for a while, then nodded: "I understand."
Before he finished speaking, a faint magic circle suddenly appeared beside Sada and flashed.
Bai Tianming was a little surprised: "Does the devil from hell want to summon you?"
Sada touched the mark left by the magic circle with his finger and said thoughtfully, "It's not from hell, it looks like it came from the human world."
He suddenly laughed, as if someone had suddenly discovered that the young master of a noble family had been possessed by a demon. He said in a low voice, "Someone wants to summon me."
Bai Tianming became interested after hearing what he said. He tried to expand his perception outwards to see the specific situation. Unexpectedly, he saw Apos again.
Apos and his companions were standing on a small path. There was a small house beside the path. Inside the house was a huge magic circle, on which stood a man in black covered in blood.
The magic circle drawn by these men in black who were still bleeding was the one that summoned Sada just now, but they were too weak and failed to summon him successfully.
They were making urgent revisions with their heads down.
The man at the window, his face flushed with anxiety, said, "It's blocked outside! They must be here to find us! Still not better? If it doesn't, we'll all be arrested! If all else fails, let's go to Hell! Is there a teleportation array?"
The person who was lowering his head to modify the magic circle shouted angrily, "Hurry, hurry, hurry! What are you rushing for? If you want the teleportation array, draw it yourself! How can we have time to play with you? This place is not even finished yet!"
The other person, who was lying on the ground modifying the magic circle, pounded his fist and shouted, "No one's here yet and you're already arguing! What's the rush? They might not be coming for us! Finish the magic circle first! We almost succeeded just now! It's all because of you guys bickering that it's affecting the effectiveness of the magic circle!"
Everyone stopped talking and just worked hard to revise the work.
"You said," Apos, standing on the path, looked at the plainly dressed residents around him, "someone is plotting to use a formation to destroy the village. What evidence do you have?"
The resident was so anxious that he walked around and said, “A while ago, I saw a few people secretly buying some things that they would never use. I felt strange and asked them where they lived.
They just waved their hands and told me that if I wanted to know about their business I should join them, I reluctantly agreed and they told me that they lived in a small hut on the road outside the village.
I asked them what they were doing living there, and they said that they had heard stories in the scriptures and were very curious whether they were true, so they wanted to try it out for themselves.
If they succeed, they will destroy the world; if they fail, they will declare that everything in the scriptures is false and extort a large sum of money from the temple.
The villager stopped here, rummaged through his clothes, and took out the receipts for the things that the people bought that day and did not take away. The items were clearly listed on them.
Apos took the receipt and looked at it. "Most of it is indeed what is needed for the magic circle, and a small part is daily necessities, but these things I bought are not enough to set up a complete magic circle."
"Maybe they bought it from somewhere else, or found it from their own warehouse. It's possible!" said the villager, blinking his eyes and stamping his feet.
"That's true, but without the most crucial thing, the magic circle cannot be set up, and they can't achieve anything." Apos looked calm and shook his head.
"Then what exactly are they lacking?" the villagers asked, looking at Apos.
"The most important thing about a magic circle is its core. Without it, they can't activate the formation. Even if they manage to succeed, it won't be enough time for a successful summoning, and it will simply stop." Apos said thoughtfully, "How could a group of people who didn't even take the receipt remember the core of the magic circle? They're more like bait."
"What do you mean?" the priest asked from the side.
"Let's split up and look for any unusual objects in the village. Maybe there is a bigger conspiracy behind it." Apos thought for a moment, made a decision, and said seriously.
The priest believed him and nodded before leading the residents away. "They'll take care of things, so why are you still here? If you can't trust them, then there's no one else you can trust. Come with me and tell the others to look for it together. Maybe we'll find something!"
As the villagers walked, they asked, "What if we can't find it?"
The priest laughed and said, "Maybe they found it first! Then we don't have to worry! Being safe is always a good thing."
The villager blinked, wanting to say something but stopping himself. He felt that he hadn't considered the situation at all, and that those things didn't exist. He was a little confused by him, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
Before they had gone far, the whole village suddenly shook violently. A huge magic circle rose into the air, trapping the entire village inside and shaking it violently.
Everyone in the village was rolling around like dice in a lid, not knowing where they were. They could hardly stop and didn't even have time to vomit. They were so dizzy.
Apos reacted the fastest, stabbing his sword into the ground in the blink of an eye. When he felt the ground shaking even more, he immediately used the rock-solid spell.
He managed to stand firmly on his feet, but the people around him who were slower to react rolled around on the ground before they could do anything. It was already difficult for him to maintain his balance, and it was even more difficult for him to reach out and save others.
He could only frown and shout loudly on the spot: "Come closer to me! Hold on to me! Steady yourself first!"
The priests around him chanted spells with difficulty while approaching him, and hurriedly grabbed him. Then, because of the shaking, their bodies sometimes flew in the air and sometimes fell to the ground. They were completely dazed and their faces turned green.
Noah grabbed his arm and asked him with great difficulty, "Are you sure about the situation?"
Apos frowned and said, "Someone must have used the village as their boundary and set up a magic circle as large as or even larger than the village. After attracting our attention, they immediately activated the magic circle and trapped us here."
A gust of wind blew over, and he paused, his voice hoarse, "The intention is not to destroy the village, but it will definitely not be good. I don't know if they ran into us by accident, or if they had expected us to appear here and prepared something for us. You'd better be careful."
After the strong wind, Noah wiped his face and felt his hands trembling. His legs seemed to be floating in the air as if they did not exist. He could not tell up from down, left from right.
He placed both hands on Apos's arms, his head spinning, his mind blurring out, and blood pouring out of his eyes. He asked loudly, "Is there any way?"
The others had begun to loosen their grip and were finding it difficult to hold on. The weaker they were, the more severe the bleeding. Even priests like them had lost so much blood, so it was easy to imagine how much more blood the residents who were weaker than them would have lost.
It can be seen that the person who set up this formation definitely did not have good intentions.
Apos frowned tightly and replied, "I don't know."
"Then what kind of formation is this?" Noah asked angrily.
"It feels like what's said in the scriptures," Apos's eyes began to bleed, so much so that in Noah's eyes he looked like a cuckoo spitting blood. He spoke in a voice that might not have sounded unpleasant to him, but was definitely hoarse to others. "A formation that can destroy an entire space. We who are trapped in it will definitely not survive."
Noah spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling his teeth loosen. He asked loudly, "Is there no way to stop or reverse the formation? There should be something in the holy book!"
Apos closed his eyes as more blood flowed from them. He gave a wry smile, accepting his approaching death with equanimity. He only regretted that he hadn't yet completed his mission. He replied calmly, "Once the formation begins, it cannot be stopped, much less reversed. Unless a force greater than the caster forcibly breaks the formation, everything will continue."
"It seems we are doomed." Noah let go of his hand, his face pale, and muttered to himself.
Before he could finish his words, a strong wind blew and Noah somersaulted several times in the wind. The ground shook again, and a huge crack appeared, swallowing him in. Without any sound, the crack closed again. The ground shook again, trees broke, and many people lay motionless on the ground, as if they were already dead.
The small wooden house not far away collapsed with a loud bang. No one inside was alive or dead. Only blood slowly flowed out from the cracks. When it came into contact with the strong wind and cracked ground outside, it seemed to come alive, slowly stood up, roared like a strong wind, and walked towards the people around who were still able to move. Under the influence of the formation, these monsters formed of blood will kill the living people around them.
Seeing this, Apos frowned, cast a spell on himself to make it as easy as walking on flat ground, and walked over with his sword in hand. There was no one else around him.
The blood monster was about to pick up the broken wooden board nearby and smash the person who was still breathing on the ground to death.
While staring at the monster, Apos prayed in his heart: Master of Knowledge, Almighty God, your humble believer prays here, I pray that everything will end!
I pray that the formation fails, I pray that everyone survives, I pray that the monsters disappear, I pray that the houses and trees return to their original state, and I pray that the guilty receive the punishment they deserve!
