Chapter 271: Kill
Not to mention the offensive capabilities, the grassland village has Ergu and the hyena troops, plus the cavalry led by Li Ce. This defensive force is enough to ensure the stability of the village.
This is also the main reason why Zhou Xu can be so relieved and stay in Huangshan Village for a long time to watch the construction of the new village.
A new day came. Zhou Xu slowly opened his eyes in the camp next to the new village and had already made a decision in his heart.
"Call Shi Lei and Zhou Chongshan over!"
The campsite that provided them with a temporary base was not very big. After receiving the call from Zhou Xu, Shi Lei and Zhou Chongshan rushed over at the fastest speed.
"Zhou Chongshan (Shi Lei), meet the leader!"
After signaling the two to excuse themselves, Zhou Xu went straight to the point.
"After breakfast, I plan to go to the Old God Altar. You two should bring five vine armor soldiers with me, just in case."
At that time, he triggered the system reminder on the altar of the old gods, asking him whether to inject the power of truth into the altar.
Zhou Xu didn't know what would happen if he injected the power of mantra, so he hurriedly refused. At the same time, all kinds of speculations emerged in his mind.
A long time had passed since then. It’s not that he had forgotten about the altar, but he was making preparations.
He planned to thoroughly study the mantras he had obtained first, and then tinker with the altar after improving his strength. However, he found that he had gained the ability of "granting", so the original plan was postponed again and again until now.
Zhou Xu's words at this moment made Shi Lei's eyes flash with a hint of thought.
"Chief, what do you want?"
"That old god altar seems to be able to be infused with the power of truth. I plan to see what happens."
“…”
Zhou Chongshan and Shi Lei didn't know what to say about their leader's curiosity.
Zhou Xu was still talking to himself...
"By then, another chosen one may be summoned. Be prepared."
“…”
Hearing this, Shi Lei, who was usually calm and composed, was the first to become restless.
"Chief, summoning another Chosen One may not be a good thing."
Shi Lei undoubtedly has a say on this topic, after all, he had summoned a chosen one in the past.
Later, he was defeated and surrendered to Zhou Xu, and met other chosen ones of God.
This made Shi Lei clearly realize that not every chosen one of God is reliable.
On the other hand, Zhou Chongshan, who successfully summoned their leader at the first sight, probably found it difficult to have such an experience.
In fact, Zhou Xu, as a time traveler, would think more about similar questions than he did.
Now that he has brought up this matter, it means that he has naturally made the decision.
Looking at Shi Lei's anxious expression, Zhou Xu first calmed him down a bit, and then spoke slowly...
"I mainly want to get a feel for the secrets of this old god's altar. If I can summon the Chosen One, I will have him serve me. If he doesn't want to, I will kill him."
Zhou Xu spoke the last two words in an extremely calm tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
In fact, at this point, although he would not take people's lives lightly, he would not hesitate when it came time to kill.
No matter if the other party is a native of this world or a time traveler like him.
Anyway, this wasn't the first person to die in his hands, and it's even less likely that he would be the last! "As long as we work together, even if they are the chosen ones, what can they do?"
Seeing their leader's decisive killing look, Shi Lei felt a little relieved.
At the same time, Shi Lei also agreed with what their leader said.
Without further hesitation, after breakfast, they soon arrived outside the old god's altar.
"The four of you continue to guard outside the cave entrance. Chongshan, Shilei, you and the rattan armor soldiers follow me in."
There were guards guarding the old god's altar. After making simple arrangements, Zhou Xu led everyone in directly out of caution this time.
"I don't know how much truth power will be consumed later. You must always stay alert and be mentally prepared to deal with some unexpected situations."
"yes!"
Hearing their leader's reminder, everyone led by Zhou Chongshan and Li Ce responded in unison.
The cave was not very deep and the space inside was not very large. After everyone poured in, the limited space suddenly became crowded.
Without Zhou Xu saying anything, Shi Lei directly arranged the positions for the five rattan armor soldiers and formed a battle formation.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu didn't say anything more and walked slowly up to the altar.
So, what do I need to do now?
Almost at the same time as this thought flashed through my mind, the system prompt rang...
[System prompt: Do you want to inject the power of mantra into the 'altar'? ]
【yes!】
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Xu, who was mentally prepared, said silently in his heart.
In an instant, he felt the power of mantra in his body surge up rapidly, and then transformed into two tangible energies and injected into the altar in front of him. Driven by the power of his mantra, the symbols engraved on the altar lit up one after another.
At that moment, Zhou Xu felt his mind go blank, and his consciousness sank into the deep sea with a plop.
Immediately afterwards, a ball of light floated towards him from the distance, and Zhou Xu subconsciously stretched out his hand towards the ball of light.
At this moment, a sound came from the light ball, a scream of terror...
[Ahhhhhhh!!! Save me, save me! I don’t want to die yet! Mommy!!]
The sound startled Zhou Xu, as if he had been electrocuted, and he immediately pulled his hand back.
"What's going on? It sounds like a teenage girl."
Just when Zhou Xu was a little confused about the situation, another ball of light floated over from the distance.
Zhou Xu hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to extend his hand again.
As expected, another voice came out from the ball of light.
[Who are you? What do you want to do? Do you believe me or not, I will call the police? ]
[I have called the police! I warn you, I have called the police!!]
At this moment, Zhou Xu, who had touched the second ball of light and withdrew his hand again, already had some thoughts in his mind.
"Could it be that each of these light balls represents a chosen one? Judging from the noises, they all seem to be in danger. This is most likely the last information they obtained before they died. In other words, those who can be summoned are all dead?"
However, just as Zhou Xu was muttering this, he felt his head starting to feel dizzy.
"It's the power of truth. Every second I stay here is continuously consuming my power of truth. My power is about to be drained by this altar. I have to make a choice quickly!"
Compared to the first little girl who was already panicking and crying for her mother, the second boy seemed a little more reliable.
Just as Zhou Xu was about to grab the second ball of light, another ball of light floated in front of his eyes.
Gritting his teeth, he stretched out his hand towards the ball of light. After sensing the 'pre-death message' from the ball of light, Zhou Xu's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he grabbed the ball of light! "It's you!"
