Chapter 188
Died silently.
When he was alive, he was one of the controllers of the temple and killed countless of his own bloodline, but he...
The ancestor of the Zhou family is dead!
Died silently.
When he was alive, he was one of the controllers of the temple and killed countless of his own bloodline, but when he died, he died quietly, and no one except the murderer even knew about it.
Oh, no, it’s not that there were no others, at least Cheng Hui saw it.
After the death of Old Ancestor Zhou, the field where he was located withered faster. This time, without Old Ancestor Zhou to absorb the vitality of these plants, the energy generated by the withering plants all condensed together to form a green core.
Priest Chen stared at the green core hanging in the air with shining eyes, and excitedly reached out his hand—
Bang!
With a crisp sound, a thick vine suddenly emerged from the ground and pulled out the core in one go.
"It's you!"
Priest Chen was shocked and angry, as if he had not expected that someone would come to pick peaches at this time!
He had spent decades planning and finally got this core. How could he give it up so easily? He immediately made a move to snatch it.
But several vines emerged from the ground and stretched towards the core. However, due to the interference with each other, no one could succeed. They could only try to send the core farther away to prevent others from taking advantage.
Priest Chen was almost stunned. The vines that emerged from the ground belonged to different ancestors. He thought they had fallen asleep, but he didn't expect that they had been watching from the side.
"What a sinister old thing!" Priest Chen was filled with hatred. He originally thought that everything was in his plan, but he didn't expect that those people had been keeping it a secret because they had this idea in mind.
Cheng Hui almost laughed out loud when he was watching. This kind of mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole is behind is really interesting.
He was secretly thinking in his heart that it would be even more fun if he suddenly jumped out and snatched the core at this moment.
Just as he was thinking this, a figure suddenly appeared next to the core that was taken away, snatched the core and ran away.
This scene stunned everyone. Even Cheng Hui couldn't help but smack his lips in amazement. No way... is his mouth blessed?
Wait... He suddenly remembered that it wasn't just Priest Chen and him who entered this space, there was also the little priest. He was so busy watching the fun that he almost forgot about him.
It was a coincidence that the young priest was able to grab the core. It was basically a blind cat catching a dead mouse. Several ancestors and Priest Chen were fighting each other, which made it possible for him, the fisherman, to do something useful.
After grabbing the core, the young priest turned around and ran away. Priest Chen was stunned. It took him a while to come to his senses and he immediately chased after him.
Compared to Priest Chen who was still able to catch up, these ancestors were more miserable. The land they possessed had no ability to move at all, and they usually relied on vines to carry out various activities. Now that the people had run far away, they had no way to chase them.
Cheng Hui didn't want to stay here and listen to the old ancestors cursing, but before he left, he heard that the old ancestors were planning to come in person to snatch the core.
Cheng Hui secretly paid attention. He guessed that the core should be very important and perhaps represented some kind of "eternal life". However, he never expected that those ancestors would even come here in order to fight for this core.
Wait, aren't those ancestors already in immortality? Why would they still want that kind of core?
Cheng Hui questioned the function of the core. Perhaps the function of that thing was more than just immortality?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he quietly followed Priest Chen.
Whenever this happened, he was very grateful to his past self for leaving him such a powerful spiritual consciousness. You know, spiritual consciousness is really useful, especially when your spiritual consciousness is much stronger than the opponent's, and the opponent can't even detect your existence.
The two people in front were chasing each other and fleeing. Priest Sun was obviously not strong enough, and the distance between him and Priest Chen was getting closer and closer.
Priest Chen is worthy of being the most outstanding high priest in the past hundred years. He is much better than other high priests in utilizing spiritual power. Perhaps it is precisely because of his excellence that he has come up with further ideas.
In short, the distance between the two people in front is getting closer and closer. If nothing unexpected happens, Priest Sun will be caught up soon.
But Cheng Hui noticed that although Priest Sun was fleeing, he was not fleeing blindly. It was not obvious at first, but later, he was clearly running towards the flower bud.
Cheng Hui didn't know whether Priest Chen noticed this, but the first thing he thought of was that 'God'.
Could it be that God was rescued by this priest Sun?
The next scene was really beyond Cheng Hui's expectations. He originally thought that Priest Sun had a complete plan when he followed him into the underground temple, but he didn't expect that the only thing he did was to commit suicide near the flower bud.
Cheng Hui was completely stunned.
Most people would hesitate to commit suicide, but this Priest Sun seemed to have been prepared. After arriving at his destination, he threw the green core to the ground and then cut his jugular artery with a knife.
The spurting blood instantly dyed a large area of land red. Priest Sun was about to die, but he had a smile on his face. He was muttering something in a language that Cheng Hui could not understand, but he knew that Priest Chen should be able to understand it because his face showed an expression of extreme fear.
There was a loud bang, and in the bloody area of Priest Sun, something under the ground was shaking continuously.
The huge flower bud kept shaking, as if it sensed something terrifying.
The green core melted under the water of blood, and the flowing liquid seeped into the ground.
Priest Chen panicked and tried to appease the flower bud, as if he wanted to use it to suppress what was happening underground.
Unfortunately, the effect was not great, and at this time, several ancestors also arrived.
When Cheng Hui saw those ancestors, he almost vomited. He finally understood why those people felt like they had lost half their lives every time they saw the ancestors.
Those old ancestors hardly looked human anymore. There were many bloated lumps of flesh on their bodies. It wasn't the kind of fat flesh, but it felt like some parts of their bodies were deformed.
Plants were growing on those deformed pieces of flesh, exactly the same kind that Cheng Hui had seen in the fields. Their limbs had also degenerated, and many vines were entangled in the place of their legs, and they could only move quickly with the help of these vines.
Cheng Hui turned his face away silently. He felt that if he saw this scene in a story with a Cthulhu background, his SAN value would probably drop completely. Although this world did not have a similar background, seeing this scene still made people feel physically uncomfortable.
He always thought that he was knowledgeable and experienced. After all, the ghosts in the underworld all had unique appearances. He didn't expect to see a scene in an illusion that was enough to break his defense.
Cheng Hui took a deep breath and then stood up silently.
He had to stand up. Before, he could rely on his powerful spiritual sense to peek silently, but as soon as these inhuman ancestors appeared, he knew that he could no longer hide it.
When both sides are equally strong, it is difficult to conceal one's identity.
It is hard to say how powerful these deformed ancestors are, but their spiritual awareness is comparable to his own, so he cannot continue to hide.
“It’s you!”
Seeing Cheng Hui suddenly appear, Priest Chen's face changed again.
Seeing him staring at Cheng Hui fiercely, he suddenly smiled bitterly: "I thought you were the most loyal to me, but I didn't expect that you were the one who hid the deepest!"
Cheng Hui couldn't respond and could only smile awkwardly. His original body was truly loyal, but he was not. Moreover, he actually had no intention of achieving eternal life. But if he said this at this time, not only Priest Chen, but even he himself would not believe it.
"Since everyone is here, I won't waste any more time. He's about to come out, and his core has been stolen. You all know what the consequences will be once he gets out. It's up to you whether you want to cause trouble for me or join forces against me."
Priest Chen is not stupid. Several ancestors have even shown their true forms, obviously determined to get the core, but the core has been snatched away by the god. Given what they have done in the past thousands of years, it is easy to imagine what will happen to that person once he escapes, and the ancestors will definitely suffer.
Therefore, the most important thing is to work together to suppress this person, otherwise no one will end up well.
Cheng Hui had no intention of joining in. These people thought they still had a fighting chance, but he knew that the god had finally escaped. Why would he join a battle he was bound to lose? Besides... compared to that god, he felt that these scum deserved to die sooner rather than later.
Cheng Hui took a step back, indicating his attitude of non-participation. Priest Chen's expression suddenly changed, becoming sinister and vicious. He seemed to have thought of something. The only one among these people who might not have lost money to the god was Priest Liu. If he showed an attitude of non-participation, perhaps the god would really let him go.
How can this be? Why should we all die, but you might just get away with it?
Priest Chen was filled with resentment. Since Priest Liu wanted to stay out of it, why not everyone get rid of him first?
He winked at the elders, suggesting that before fighting against foreign enemies, they must first stabilize the country, and it would be best for everyone to work together to get rid of the one who might rebel.
After all, they don't want to have a dangerous creature standing behind them that can stab them at any time while they are fighting with God.
If Cheng Hui knew what he was thinking, he would definitely advise him not to be so delusional. That god was a vengeful person. Not only had Priest Liu eaten a lot of his flesh and blood, but even the ordinary residents could not escape and all died in this mutation.
But he didn't know what Priest Chen was thinking, so he was a little puzzled when he saw Priest Chen slowly coming towards him.
Shouldn't we quickly deal with the resurrected god at a time like this? What did you mean when you came towards me? Did you intend to attack me?
Cheng Hui's doubts did not affect Priest Chen and the others. In order to resolve this possible variable in advance, everyone attacked him at the same time.
Cheng Hui screamed inwardly, "Fuck it! You guys are fighting yourselves, what does this have to do with me? I've already shown my non-participation attitude, why are you attacking me?"
Unfortunately, the other party didn't care about his thoughts and only wanted to eliminate the hidden dangers.
The pieces of flesh on the bodies of those deformed ancestors that made people lose their SAN points were not grown in vain. Not to mention the vines for sale, those strange plants produced some fruits in a very short time. When the fruits exploded, a large amount of purple smoke was released. Cheng Hui's pupils narrowed when he saw it, and he covered his mouth and nose reflexively.
Unfortunately, he was still a little slow and inhaled a wisp of purple mist.
