In the later stages of the battle, the players were already crushing the opponent.
In this kind of group battle, the mutant population seems to be overwhelming, but in fact they are just paper tigers.
They have no group damage skills, only summons and their own bodies.
Although they are very strong in close combat, and their combat power is roughly the same as that of a level 10 player, but... players are not stupid, they can just kill them with ranged shots.
The total number of long-range skills of various professions should not be too many, not to mention that everyone has a rifle.
It is no exaggeration to say that even if hundreds of ordinary soldiers from Colossus City stood here and fired at the same time, it would be difficult for the opponent to break through, not to mention this kind of skilled and intelligent player.
Half an hour later, the players gathered together and wiped out all the mutants!
Only one controlled second-level evolved chaos priest remained.
It was disheartened and had completely lost the desire to fight.
Looking at the player who snatched the parchment and was showing off to it in a despicable manner, it felt as if ants were crawling on its body. It wished it could summon a third-level Hades monster and send all these people to Lord Hades to be refined into puppets.
Cheng Shaofeng jumped off the Green Goblin skateboard and looked at the large number of corpses in front of him, clicking his tongue.
"Tsk tsk~ They hid when I looked for them, and now they come here to die. It's really hard to understand."
"By the way, you are the leader among them? Introduce yourself."
Cheng Shaofeng pointed at the tied up chaotic priest.
The Chaos Priest snorted coldly: "The Lord has remembered your appearance. When the Lord comes, it will be the day of your death. Everyone will die!"
Cheng Shaofeng: "Not cooperating?"
Chaos Priest: "A man can be killed but not humiliated! I won't tell you anything!"
"What if I gave you a chance to live?"
The Chaos Priest said seriously, "What do you want to know?"
Lin Tang: “6!”
Xigou: "The monsters in this game... how come they are all so sincere, it's amazing."
Riben Guizi came over and said with a smile: "I was chatting with the shop owner when I was free, and he told me that those who can survive in the wasteland... are those who follow their hearts. The mortality rate of reckless people... is too high."
Hiroshima Atom: "You know what, this game setting is pretty realistic."
Cheng Shaofeng: "Tell me who the Lord you mentioned is? Why do you believe in him? What benefits can he bring to you? Also, tell me why you want to invade our base. Well, these are the questions I can think of for now. I will ask you later if I think of them."
The Chaos Priest was very cautious. He said with a look of disbelief: "If I tell you... you will let me go?"
Cheng Shaofeng: "Tell me, I will give you a chance to survive. It's up to you whether you can seize it. I will never play tricks on you in front of so many of my men."
The Chaos Priest nodded.
"Well, this is not a secret in the first place... Moreover, if you have seen the greatness of the Lord, you will also follow me in believing in the power of the Lord and become his most loyal servant. This world will eventually belong to the Lord, and only by becoming his servant can you survive."
"The Lord is... the Dark Lord who controls the power of chaos."
"Our power is obtained from the Lord through the altar. It only took me two years to go from an ordinary person to a second-level evolver. I also learned the Lord's skills and summoned the Lord's pet. If you join us, I will let you replace me and become the Lord's spokesperson!"
Then, the Chaos Priest boasted about the power of the 'Netherworld', which was so terrifying, but... he could not descend into this world for the time being, and could only provide some help to his believers through the altar.
At the same time, they will be taught to learn their own skills in dreams.
"Wait a minute! In a dream, I learned a skill? This feels... familiar."
"Yes, Lord Dreger also imparts his knowledge to his followers through dreams."
Behind him, Ling You, who had not appeared before, walked out.
In fact, she had known that a fight had broken out outside, but she was not a subordinate of the Scourge Base and had no obligation to work for the Scourge Base. These Chaos Priests could easily beat her to death, so it was naturally impossible for her to come out.
Cheng Shaofeng remembered that the Crusader who had been forcibly transformed into a undead by him had said the same thing. At that time, he was taught the blood of Dreger in his dream.
It is the most useful auxiliary skill in the mysterious profession, with group recovery + various high-quality buff bonuses, which is very powerful.
Cheng Shaofeng nodded: "I see... It seems that your master, the Dark Lord, is about the same level as Dregg."
"Ah~ I'm so scared! Can you please ask your master to let me go? I'm afraid he will vent his anger on you and kill me. What should I do?"
The Chaos Priest smiled. "Be afraid! It's right to be afraid! Only those who have seen the master's power know what fear is... As for Dregg, hehe~ he is just a defeated opponent of the master."
"You're talking nonsense! Lord Dregg has never failed!" Ling You was also anxious.
Seeing that the two dogs were about to fight for their master, Cheng Shaofeng quickly stopped them.
"Come on, take me to see the altar that connects to your master. If it is really as you said... maybe we will have a better future. Who doesn't want to be stronger?"
Cheng Shaofeng led a large number of players to follow the Chaos Priests to find their altars.
On the way.
Cheng Shaofeng asked again about faith.
But the Chaos Priest could not speak of any other useful knowledge. He was just a low-level figure and had no understanding of the various systems of this world. He only knew that its Lord Mingsha was the best in the world.
As for Ling You... her description of faith was also very poor, just inexplicably fanatical.
The players didn't care, thinking it was a game setting or something.
But... Cheng Shaofeng became secretly alert.
According to his understanding, belief has a reason... It is impossible for someone to unconditionally believe in a nihilistic person. First of all, one must recognize his values and be able to gain peace, tranquility, comfort, benefits... etc. from belief.
But Ling You's belief... seems to have no basis.
This chaotic priest couldn't remember when he started to believe in Hades, but he just kept repeating the same old stuff like Lord Hades would eventually take over the world.
Cheng Shaofeng tried to guide it to find the source, but it was simply impossible.
This means... their beliefs are most likely not proactive.
But... forced.
'Is it a very strong hypnosis?'
'Or some strange skill?'
'Or... are there no such people as believers at all, and it's just a side effect of learning a certain skill? Are they hallucinating? That's not right... He also got this scroll for summoning a third-level creature from it.'
Cheng Shaofeng had many guesses in his mind, but none of them could be verified for the time being.
But he began to be extra wary of these unknown existences.
The crowd followed the chaotic sacrifice to the cave where the altar was hidden.
The fox demon rushed to the front and said, "Wait a minute, Lord! Let me try to see if there is any mechanism inside. Even if I die, I can't hurt a hair of yours!"
Cheng Shaofeng: "Well, soldier, you are really... very thoughtful."
Wei Long: "... Awesome, this is strategic flattery... Everyone take notes and learn from it in the future."
Everyone in the special forces team nodded frantically and had already regarded the fox demon as a key subject of study.
Among them, Tang Ying, the always cold and icy expert in special architecture, looked solemn.
"We can only see his superficial actions, but his actions come from the heart... Licking can be reflected in all aspects. It is difficult for ordinary people to do it. No matter how much they record, they can only learn some superficial things."
The fox demon used his physical body to walk around inside, but didn't find any hidden mutants or any mechanisms.
Finally, walk to the front of the altar.
At this moment, the watch suddenly vibrated!
Ding~
Found the 'Shrine Ruins'! Those who offer the designated sacrifices will receive the blessing of the zodiac sign!
The offerings for this shrine are: Chaos Energy
After the sacrifice, you can gain piety points.
Demon Fox: “!
!”
"Oh shit! There's a shrine! Lord, please come in, I have made a major discovery!
!”
Everyone entered the cave together from outside and saw the altar. Although its appearance was slightly different from the one in the four mountains, the familiar smell and some patterns and materials showed that the two were products of the same era.
Cheng Shaofeng turned to look at the Chaos Priest: "This... is what you said, the altar that can connect to the Lord?"
"Yes! This is the channel through which we communicate with the Lord."
That's strange.
As far as Cheng Shaofeng was concerned, he didn't know that the shrine ruins had this function.
Of course, it is also possible that he has too little experience.
'Perhaps each shrine ruin has a different function...'
"Come, call your Lord now. I will try to communicate with him and see if he can convince me to believe in him."
Cheng Shaofeng is now a shadow guard here, so he is not afraid at all!
At worst, you can just self-destruct and summon another one at home.
Anyway, you can summon it once a day, so just treat it as a resurrection coin.
The Chaos Priest nodded, found two Chaos Crystals from the cave, and presided over the summoning ceremony.
The players all showed interested looks.
Lin Tang: "Plot! Push the plot to me quickly! I can't wait to see the true face of this world!"
Washing Machine: "Each shrine is different... Then the setting of this game is getting more and more complicated. I don't know if the planner can grasp the balance."
Mo Ming: "I remember... the fangirl absorbed the radiation power and was forcibly transformed into the same kind by the plunderer, thus obtaining a hidden profession. Then is it possible for me... to be transformed into a new hidden profession by the chaotic energy?"
Looking at the energy surging above the altar, a bold idea suddenly came to his mind.
As the ceremony began, a black crack appeared on the altar, as if it was a passage connecting to another world.
The pink chaotic energy pulled the black crack open, slowly expanding into a round black hole.
After it was completely stabilized, the Chaos Priest breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's done!"
At this moment, a voice came from the black hole: "Who is calling me?"
The Chaos Priest suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Lord Mingsha! Please bring down your power and kill them!
! They slaughtered 1529 of your followers! "
Cheng Shaofeng's heart trembled, and he shouted: "No! Stop it!"
The person in charge of the chaotic sacrifice immediately covered its mouth and stopped it from talking nonsense.
At the same time, when no one was paying attention, Mo Ming was already standing next to the altar. He looked at the black hole and jumped in without hesitation.
His excited voice could be heard from inside: "Brothers! I'll go ahead and scout the way!"
These two things happened too quickly.
The crowd didn't know how to deal with Mo Ming, so they had to retreat quickly to avoid being hit by something that was beyond their current strength.
Xigou: "Retreat quickly! Be careful of the plot killing!"
A moment later...
The plot killing that everyone wanted did not come.
The black hole slowly closed, and a deep voice came from inside: "Foolish humans who killed my believers, you have become the enemy of the Hades world, and death will be your destination."
When the black hole was completely closed, a prompt came from the world news.
The player 'Inexplicable Green Invention' suffocated to death in the void.
Cheng Shaofeng: “…”
Players: “… ”
The good news: the other side didn’t put in enough effort to kill them.
Bad news: I sent one myself.
After the black hole closed, the altar returned to its previous appearance, and there was still a prompt on it to make a sacrifice to obtain the protection of the shrine.
Same as the one at Four Mountains.
The chaotic priest who shouted desperately had dull eyes, as if he couldn't believe that Lord Hades didn't kill them. This shook his long-held faith.
After confirming that there was no danger, Cheng Shaofeng asked the players to start trying to activate the altar.
"Use the mixed crystals stored here to open this shrine ruins."
There are prompts on the watch, so players can easily know how to sacrifice.
Xigou was the first to put the sacrifice up. His vision suddenly trembled, and his soul was pulled out of his body and came to the starry sky.
Constellations unfolded before his eyes... .
Watching the little dog close his eyes and wait for a while to make a choice, Cheng Shaofeng took the opportunity to do what he wanted to do before.
He kicked the Chaos Priest.
"I know you're feeling very frustrated right now, and I also know you just wanted revenge. Do you think I'll kill you? No... I'm a person who values credibility very much. I said I'd give you a chance to live, and I'll give you one."
The Chaos Priest suddenly came to life from the gloom: "Really?"
He failed to get revenge, and it would be too unfair if he died again.
He had heard that humans had a concept of 'thirty years', which seemed to be used to deal with the current situation.
Cheng Shaofeng took out a bunch of blank skill seals and placed them on him.
"Of course! I mean what I say. Come, take these and fight our warriors. If you win, you can go. If you lose... you can stay."
The Chaos Priest held up a few small seals and asked, "What is this?"
"According to our custom here, duelists must wear this to indicate victory or defeat. If all the seals on your body fall off, you lose."
"Okay! Beat him... I won't drop a single seal, come on!"
Cheng Shaofeng nodded at Riben Guizi who was holding a shield and said, "Come on, have a good fight with him!"
Riben Guizi looked at the task prompt on her watch and immediately understood.
"Don't worry, Lord. I will complete the task!"
Half an hour later...
After draining every skill out of the Chaos Priest, the players killed it together and happily gained a wave of experience.
Cheng Shaofeng looked at the chaotic priest who died with his eyes open: "Tsk~ These believers... are so easy to deceive. Who would believe this? Do you believe it?"
Riben Guizi: "I don't believe it!"
Lin Tang: “I don’t believe it either!”
Cheng Shaofeng looked at the four skill seals in his hands, was satisfied at first, then suddenly his eyes widened.
"It's actually... a Barbarian class skill???"
