Marshal Li and Buddha were the last to arrive at the ancestor worship site.
When they arrived, others were already waiting there.
"Everyone is finally here." An Buli glanced at Marshal Li and muttered.
They have been waiting here for a long time.
God knows what the stupid rules of this ancestor worship are, anyone who can stay sane and survive in the thick fog can participate in this ancestor worship, and the worship can only begin after everyone is gathered.
In other words, if not all the people are there, they have to wait here, or send someone to kill the slow or intrusive guy.
Obviously, Marshal Li and the evil statue in his hand cannot be killed so easily, so we can only wait.
Little did they know that when Marshal Li saw so many people waiting here, he was just as shocked as they were.
Who is that middle-aged man in a Taoist robe? Why is Xing Yuyu here too
And his subordinate's brother is here too? It seems he is not on his side.
Most of them were strangers he didn't even know, and they looked difficult to deal with.
Marshal Li was able to rise from an ordinary person to the position of a warlord, so his vision was naturally incomparable to that of ordinary people. He saw that none of the people on the field were simple. Faced with such a strange situation, he, who had seen a lot on the battlefield, couldn't help but feel a little scared and guilty, but they didn't react much. He even saw a look in the eyes of one of the young boys that looked like a gambler who had been gambling for many years.
In this chaotic world where all kinds of people exist, these people are definitely rare to see.
It seems that the Xing family's treasures are truly unique in the world, otherwise they would not attract so many people.
The Xing family master's expression was not so good.
Although it was true that he wanted to attract more people to serve as sacrifices at the beginning, what he wanted to attract were those who had ambitions but no abilities, and definitely not those who had both ambition and abilities.
However, it is easier to invite a god than to send him away. The master of the Xing family weighed the fighting power of his brothers and felt relieved immediately.
As soon as all the survivors of the thick fog gathered together, this originally ordinary back mountain underwent amazing changes in an instant.
At first, Ning Buwen thought that they were standing on just a small hill, but in the blink of an eye, the hill under their feet turned into flat land, and the sparse trees turned into exquisite beams and pillars with dragon patterns carved on them.
As far as the eye can see, it has changed from a back mountain that can be seen everywhere to an underground palace that requires huge manpower and material resources. This palace is full of characteristics of the times and is definitely not a modern style. The back mountain of the Xing family is definitely not so big. Even if he is rich for several generations, he may not be able to build such a huge palace. This is not just a matter of financial resources.
"What a nostalgic view." The evil god statue in Marshal Li's hand floated down directly, "I didn't expect to come to this place again in this way."
"Yeah, you must miss it a lot." Xing Fangfang laughed at the side, "You once tried so hard to escape from here, and now you try so hard to get here again."
"It seems that you know a lot." The evil statue replied calmly.
"My offering is not that delicious." Xing Fangfang answered his question in a disguised way.
"Miss, I don't quite understand what you are saying." Ning Bu Wen knew that one of their tasks was to find out the truth about the Xing family. However, it seemed that some people knew the truth but would not tell him. Instead, they were playing tricks on him. This was not a good thing for him to complete his mission.
In that case, why not just ask openly
"Is there anything you don't understand?" Xing Fangfang seemed to be a good teacher. She was always more patient than others when answering Ning Buyen's questions.
"I was ignorant before and carefully broke into your yard. I saw you talking to the statue in the middle of the night, and I thought you were his believer, but now it seems that is not the case at all. On the contrary, Marshal Li already has wealth and honor in the world but still believes in such an evil god. This is really difficult for me to understand." Ning Bu Wen said modestly, like a student who is not ashamed to ask questions.
"God? You overestimate him. He is just a guy who is barely surviving and needs the faith of others to gather his soul. When he was a human, he was quite courageous and could be called a hero. Although his life was short, it was also spectacular. But he turned into a ghost and his mind is not as clear as before. But if you think about it carefully, he is also a great benefactor of our Xing family. If he hadn't used the dragon ball to help our Xing family change their fate, I might still be staying in a brothel now." Xing Fangfang said this very harshly, "It's really pitiful that a hero turns into a bear after his twilight years."
This short sentence contained a huge amount of information, and Ning Buwen was able to deduce the general process of the whole incident almost instantly.
It seems that this person is the Feng Shui master who helped the Xing family change their fate in the legend.
The statue of the evil god slowly grew larger in the air, and in less than a cup of tea it had the general outline of an adult man.
The dark brown wood surface gradually peeled off, revealing the appearance of a young man.
This youthful appearance had not existed for even a minute before he aged rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, he was already gray-haired and looked very old.
The changes finally stopped.
"When I was a human, I thought death was not a bad thing. I could do whatever I wanted. My power alone could accelerate the demise of a dynasty and change the fate of countless people. Isn't such a death enough to make people proud? But after I died, I realized that being alive was the greatest blessing in the world. Since I helped change the destiny of others, I no longer have my own life. Every time you, the Xing family, consume a point of your own life, I will suffer a little more. Since God can't let me reincarnate and forget my past, then I can only be an old ghost that lingers. I will bear the fruits of the cause I planted back then."
If death were the end of everything, then perhaps things wouldn't be the way they are today.
When you die, you realize that this is the beginning of all the pain, and this pain will become greater and greater with time, and you will never be free from it. Then it seems that there is only one thing left to do.
"This is the palace where the dragon vein of the Qing Dynasty was located. It has long been submerged in wars and earthquakes. What we see now is just the memory of the dragon ball." The nameless old Taoist's eyes shone with desire. "If I find it, I can reshape my body, live my life as a human again, and enter reincarnation again."
"You are dreaming." The old man of the Xing family refused to give in. "The dragon ball has blessed our Xing family for three generations. It will continue to bless us for thousands of years."
"Haha, if you are like your greedy ancestor, you will be the same." The nameless Taoist priest ignored him and said, "You Xing family has committed many evil deeds. How can the dragon ball protect you?"
Seeing that this place was about to become a scene of quarrel between the Xing family and this old Taoist priest, Ning Buwen and others were able to infer the truth about the Xing family from these conversations.
When Ning Buwen simply repeated his speculation, they heard that familiar yet unfamiliar voice again.
The scene seemed to be stuck at this moment.
Xing Fangfang and the others all seemed to have pressed the pause button, maintaining the same state as before.
This originally extremely real world seemed absurd at this moment.
Whenever they suspect that the copy in the game might be a real world, Pandora will use its actions to tell you that it is just a game. Even if it is not a game, this world is in its control. It can pause it when it wants to, and start it when it wants to.
"Congratulations to the player for finding the truth about the Xing family and completing the mission. The player can choose to leave and receive the settlement reward. The exit channel will last for three days, please choose the time yourself."
As soon as the notice was made, five Pandora's boxes as tall as a person appeared on the ground.
"We have completed the mission and can leave now." Ning Buwen stretched lazily. "They only reminded us that we have completed a mission, but did not remind us that we have found the Feng Shui treasure cave. This proves that the Feng Shui treasure cave is now in a more hidden place and is more dangerous. With our combat effectiveness, I think it is better for us to leave early."
Why go to the gambling table if you know you will lose
In fact, even for this mission, we have encountered many difficulties along the way, and it would not be a wise move to continue.
"Great, we can finally leave." Cao Qiu was so moved that he almost cried. In this scene where bosses were everywhere, they had to rely on their aura to survive in the cracks. If a real fight broke out, they would definitely be the ones who suffered.
"Captain, we can go now. Why don't you move?" Cao Qiu looked at Liang Fei and saw that he didn't want to leave. He immediately advised, "Captain, don't be stupid. What's coming next is definitely not something we can participate in at our current level."
"You go first." Liang Fei seemed to have made some important decision, "I'll stay. If I can find that Feng Shui treasure cave, your evaluation level will also rise. After all, we are a small team."
"This is not like your behavior." Ning Buwen frowned slightly, "We completed this mission well, and there were no casualties. The evaluation will be at least A. I don't think it's cost-effective to continue taking risks. Tell us your reasons. If you can't convince us, we will do it even if we have to knock you out and drag you away."
Wen Duoduo and Cao Qiuan ignored everyone and showed expressions of approval.
Knowing that they cared about him, Liang Fei also smiled.
"Well, you will know it one day." Liang Fei considered his words and asked, "We all know that the game copies in Pandora are from D to S. The higher the level, the higher the difficulty, but the more rewards. But in fact, above S, there are seven SS copies."
"Seven?" Ning Bu Wen felt that this number was a bit strange.
"Yes, seven. These seven copies cannot be entered in the ordinary way. You can only enter through the derivative copies of these seven copies, find fragments in the derivative copies, and piece together the admission tickets to enter these seven copies." Liang Fei nodded and said, "Only by passing these seven copies can the earth's sun, air, soil, magnetic field, etc., return to the level before the end of the world, and we don't have to live an illusory life in the man-made safety barrier."
These secrets will be told to them after they enter the legion, but since Ning Buwen and the others have just entered the legion not long ago, they have not had time to tell them these things.
"You see, when we usually clear these game dungeons, the prop cards we get are mostly for attack or defense, and there are very few prop cards for survival and life. However, in the legion base where we live after the end of the world, there are artificial suns, air, and water sources to ensure our survival. From which levels did we get these props?"
It does sound a bit strange when you put it that way.
There is nothing left on Earth now, but being able to sustain such a large number of people seems to be far beyond the level that ordinary prop cards can achieve.
Moreover, within three years, the construction of the apocalypse seemed too complete.
"Each legion will have a barrier. As long as we are within the barrier, we can survive. These barriers, without exception, all come from the rewards of the derivative copies in the double S copies." Liang Fei talked about these things with a firm look in his eyes, "and these rewards cost countless lives and all the technological power we developed. Do you know that at the beginning, there were a hundred or even more affiliated legions."
One hundred
"The speed of time in the real world and the game world is different." Liang Fei smiled bitterly, "Before Pandora appeared, the population of our world had reached 20 billion, and we had successfully completed the infrastructure construction on other planets and were ready to move in at any time. But now our current population is less than 5 billion. Three short years in the real world may be 300 years in the game world. It is difficult to guess how long Pandora has been on Earth. Its power is so great that it may have appeared here for tens of thousands of years, but we only remember it for three short years."
This was once a theory proposed by scientists.
After all, Pandora's power can really do it.
However, the official view is that this theory is meaningless except for amplifying people’s panic, and that we should not stop resisting just because the enemy is strong.
Even if they were played around by Pandora, they would never be willing to be a pawn.
"Pandora has the power to change people's memories, so we have no idea how many legions have appeared and how many three years we have experienced. But one thing is certain, as long as we pass these seven levels, we will be free. All the disappeared people and legions have no trace, but sometimes the legion will find former predecessors in certain game copies. Some have spent hundreds or thousands of years in the game world. When they see us, they will tell us the news, or leave records in various ways. The people in the legion found these records through the game levels and restored part of the truth, but it has never been announced. Only those who are selected into the upper legion will be told after they have gone through the test and are able to bear this huge responsibility."
"All members of the Legion who know about this must do everything in their power to obtain the rewards and fragments of the derivative book. This is the top priority."
"Do you mean that this may also be a derivative version?" Ning Bu Wen understood what he said.
"If there is a possibility, we should give it a try." Liang Fei nodded, "We cannot tell which ones are derivatives and which ones are not. Derivatives have a very obvious feature, but they will have some props that can almost change the power of the world. The dragon ball here is also included. Maybe it is one of the fragments of the double S copy ticket, so I must give it a try."
"It's so dangerous, there's no way you can get it by yourself." Although Cao Qiu felt a little dizzy, she knew that the more serious the matter was, the greater the danger would be.
"We have to try even if we can't get it." Liang Fei said seriously, "Pandora's props are time-limited. We don't know when the safety barrier we live in now will expire, so we must find as many fragments of the ticket as possible before it expires and return to our real home. It may be a derivative game copy, and we may not encounter it once in ten times. Once we find a possible place, we must never retreat."
"Fuck, after hearing what you said, I guess I won't be able to sleep for a month. I'm scared to death." Cao Qiu touched his heart, feeling that it would stop beating at any time because of the huge pressure. "They are going to save the world, how can you not include me?"
"Since it is the top priority, I will stay too." Wen Duoduo also expressed his attitude, "I don't want to die in obscurity and without knowing it."
"Trouble." An Buli scratched his hair. "If I had known that joining the Legion would be such a rip-off, I would rather have stayed in jail. Forget it, I'll stay too. If I can get the fragment, I will definitely be pardoned."
Ning Buwen didn't say anything. To be more precise, he didn't know what to say because they were staring at him.
"I'll stay too."
"You go now."
Liang Fei and Ning Buwen said what they wanted to say at the same time.
Ning Buwen glared at him and asked, "What did you say?"
"What I just said to you is not alarmist, nor is it to make you stay and help me." Liang Fei shook his head. "If this is a derivative copy, I'm afraid all of us will die here. If this is not a derivative copy, then our deaths may be even more meaningless. So at least one person must go out first, get the reward, and report this copy to the Legion."
"Then let Cao Qiu go." Ning Buwen betrayed Cao Qiu without any hesitation, "It seems that there is no point for her to stay here."
"Hello."
"No matter what, you have great potential. You are the smartest among us. Maybe you can get a ticket to enter one of the seven copies in the future." Liang Fei said sincerely, "Let us take care of the things ahead."
"Captain, you don't have to act so fearless." Ning Buwen shrugged. "If I can't even handle a derivative version, it's impossible for me to participate in the terminal version you mentioned. Besides, if I stay here and watch over you, maybe one or two of us can survive. If I leave, you will definitely be wiped out."
Ning Buwen said this arrogantly and confidently.
"Pandora, let's put the box here first and continue exploring." Without waiting for Liang Fei to react, Ning Bu Wen was the first to answer.
As soon as he finished speaking, the pause button of this world was pressed and started again.
It was impossible for Liang Fei to object.
Xing Fangfang glanced at them and felt that these people had changed their mental state all of a sudden. Before, they seemed indifferent to the Dragon Ball, but now they were determined to get it. What happened just now
"Let's go." Ning Buwen said, "Why are you still dawdling here? Didn't you see that the Taoist priest and Xing Yuyu have walked several hundred meters away?"
Yes, when the nameless Taoist priest was battling with the Xing family father and daughter, Xing Yuyu and the others had already walked forward without any nonsense.
never mind.
Liang Fei secretly made up his mind that he would try his best to keep his team members alive, even if it meant sacrificing himself.
Although this is Dragon Ball’s memory, they seem to have no choice but to follow their memories.
Now that the Dragon Ball has not appeared, everything can remain stable. Once the shadow of the Dragon Ball is discovered, they will have to fight to the death.
The palace was incredibly huge, but I didn't find any danger along the way.
The calmer and smoother things were, the more nervous Ning Buwen became.
The calm before the storm
Ning Buwen was far from being as calm as he looked. In fact, he thought a lot after listening to Liang Fei's words.
Could it be that their apocalyptic world is not real, but a copy of a game? Cheng Yuxue is so crazy, and his ranking is so high, he must know these inside stories, and he knows more, could it be related to these inside stories
Only those with greater abilities are qualified to access more truth.
This world is beyond your imagination.
Ning Buwen had only taken a few steps when he heard Xing Yuyu's scream coming from the front.
They looked at each other and quickly ran towards the source of the sound.
Xing Yuyu's limbs were nailed to the wall, and all kinds of nails were densely pierced through her body, which was a very annoying sight.
However, these nails avoided her vital parts, so she did not die easily.
They weren't far away from each other, so what was going on
"Lu Qing attacked you?" Xing Fangfang asked with some confusion.
Xing Yuyu looked at her and smiled.
"She is not Xing Yuyu!" the nameless old Taoist suddenly said.
The next moment, Ning Bu Wen felt indescribable pain in his limbs, and in the blink of an eye, he was the one nailed to the wall!
He turned his head with difficulty and found that almost everyone on the field was nailed to the wall without exception.
Xing Yuyu and Lu Qing were also nailed on the other side, but they saw nothing when they walked over just now.
What blinded your eyes
"This is a royal palace, no one is allowed to approach." A vicissitudes of life voice came over.
Soon, several suspicious creatures dressed in Qing Dynasty official uniforms crawled out from the ground. Their bodies were almost covered with nails, exactly the same as theirs, except that they could move freely.
“This is a kind of evil human burial technique.” The nameless old Taoist laughed, “It turns out that after the real underground palace disappeared, those guardians followed the clues and came here, hahahaha.”
