What the hell is this
The weird and sticky black substance turned into a ferocious snake head. When it opened its mouth, it revealed a set of sharp teeth. The dark neck suddenly extended for more than ten meters as if it was squirming, and it opened its mouth and bit into the air. Perilla fish in. At this time, the fat woman below actually still maintained the ability to move. Most of her head was tilted, but she could still hold the black book in her hand, and let out a ball of crimson in the weird chanting sound. flame.
— "Psychic protective force field!"
Su Ziyu chose to resist the fireball head-on, and at the same time swung his sword to slash at the black snake transformed from human pus.
A strange sticky feeling came.
It's not like the feeling of chopping flesh and blood. The meteorite sword actually got stuck inside. When I tried to pull it out, I felt a huge pulling force. This is a substance that Suziyu can't understand. It seems to have a unique The activity and thoughts of the sword can actually keep changing its shape, and even some black viscous substances spread bit by bit like blood vessels, apparently trying to crawl along the sword body to Su Ziyu's body.
Crackling!
A trace of light golden arcs jumped on the meteorite sword. In an instant, the snake head turned into black material let out a scream. Part of the black viscous liquid that made up his body suddenly evaporated, and the spreading black veins also instantly Received it back.
This damn thing doesn't take much physical damage!
Su Ziyu felt that its body was a bit like black asphalt. The sword had no texture at all when it was struck, and the damage caused was quite limited.
In contrast, psychic lightning can directly evaporate the black matter that makes up its body. After evaporation, he can even hear faint wailing and screaming in his ears. This is the perception brought by spirituality, human pus. It contains countless evil thoughts and desires, and may even swallow the souls of many evil spirits.
Snap.
Su Ziyu's figure fell from the sky.
The strange black snake transformed from human pus shrank back again, hovering over the head of the obese woman, and transformed into a hybrid form of a mouse and a snake again.
This thing is much more difficult to deal with than the tentacles of the aberrations.
Su Ziyu carefully distanced himself a little, and then carefully observed the obese woman in front of him. There was still human flesh and blood under her tilted head, and the black substances spread automatically like abscesses, but now the enemy's A faint red light appeared in her pupils, and she even looked a little crazy, with an expression that was a mixture of greed and killing. She roared, and a piece of fire appeared on the surface of her body, and she rushed towards Su Ziyu. He came over and seemed to want to capture him.
How could Su Ziyu be hugged by her? Just the pile of fat and meat was already unacceptable. Being hugged like this would definitely make him lose his appetite for food today.
The host of human pus should be this obese woman.
It is slightly difficult to completely clean out the human pus, but it should be much easier to deal with this obese woman. Su Ziyu jumped to avoid it, and at the same time stabbed the opponent's abdomen with his sword. The enemy had too much fat, which was not good. Determine the location of the kidneys.
clang.
The black human pus began to surge again, and actually wrapped around the enemy's fat body, neutralizing part of the attack. At the same time, a pale claw-like limb extended from the lower abdomen of the black snake, and directly grabbed Su. The head of the fish.
A crackling electric light appeared.
Accompanied by two screams, Su Ziyu moved and cut across, and after evaporating part of the human pus, he instantly slashed the enemy's head with his sword.
Pfft.
A stream of blood spurted out.
As a head flew up, the human pus also shrank quickly, turning into a pool of black water and falling on the ground. It vaporized and dissipated in the blink of an eye.
All that was left was an extremely fat, headless corpse.
"Get 3 points of source power."
The fat woman had been killed by Su Ziyu, but the remaining human pus went to unknown places and seemed to have disappeared into the world.
— "The Holy Book of the Deep (wonderful object): a holy book that records some secrets of the deep. After reading it, you can cast dark magic."
As soon as Su Ziyu waved his hand, the black book fell into his palm.
He flipped through it casually, and immediately felt a spiritual warning. This was a book containing evil power. There was nothing strange about it, except that the cover looked a bit like human skin, and the things recorded on it were also very strange. Weird, it is actually a storybook, which roughly describes a strange existence called 'Eldridge', who is called the Devourer, a monster who likes to eat people.
The more Su Ziyu looked at it, the more he frowned.
Eldridge was originally a priest who was corrupted by something called the fire of sin and eventually turned into a man-eating demon.
Such existences, in a normal world, should be eliminated directly.
But here He finally became a king!
- "Salary King!"
The story recorded in the entire Netherworld Sacred Scripture is incomplete, as if a part is missing.
There is only one reason why Eldridge can be crowned king, and that is because he performed a ritual called 'Passing Fire', and then he received the title of 'Saint of the Underworld' and became a special person enshrined by the church. exist.
"Can this kind of monster also be called a saint?"
Su Ziyu closed the profound scripture in front of him, feeling that the world he entered this time might be very troublesome.
While reading this book, he had a vague sense of spirituality, and he seemed to vaguely see a terrifying existence like a pool of black sludge. If he activated his spiritual vision at this time, he might see more, but he already had From many past experiences, I know that now is not the time to turn on spiritual vision randomly.
The fat woman had lied to him.
What she serves is not the Mother of Rebirth, but this monster named Eldridge, a demon who likes to eat people very much.
Why
Let the humans of this world be willing to serve such a terrifying monster? And also called Him King? Worshiped as a saint
Su Ziyu turned around and entered the library in front of him.
He directly skipped the other books and began to search for information related to the 'King of Xin', while flipping through those things that might record something related to the 'Fire Passing' ritual.
Time passed little by little.
Su Ziyu stayed here for most of the day without knowing it. After browsing through the well-preserved books in the entire library, he roughly knew some things about this world.
The records inside are incomplete.
The first thing that can be determined is that there are gods in this world, and the god king is a guy named Gwen.
But Su Ziyu doesn't need to worry too much, because this guy has been burned.
If it's burned, it won't be corrupted, right
Gwen is the god of the First Fire Age. It is said that the world was originally dark, and in the chaos there were only immortal ancient trees and giant dragons. I don't know when the first flame was born, and all the differences came from this.
Life and death, light and darkness, time and space...
The species originally born from the dark sludge were attracted by the flames, automatically gathered next to the flames, and obtained the initial king soul. They are the original god Gwen, the original dead tomb king Nite, the witch of Chaos Izaris, and A forgotten dwarf.
In the Age of First Fire, the three kings who had obtained the supreme power of First Fire began to join forces to deal with the Immortal Ancient Dragon. They obtained the immortal secret of the Immortal Ancient Dragon from the excluded scaleless white dragon Hiss, and launched a war against the Immortal Ancient Dragon. , Tomb King Nite released the miasma of death, bringing the first death to the world and corroding the dragon scales of the immortal ancient dragon. The witch of Izaris released the flames of chaos and burned the ancient trees where the immortal ancient dragon lived. Gwen will be the strongest He distributed the bright and thunderous soul of the Sun King to his subordinates, allowing his subordinates to obtain the power of thunder and lightning, and served as the backbone of the destruction of the immortal ancient dragon.
So these oldest rulers were wiped out.
The era of fire also begins!
For a long period of time, the world was full of vitality, and brilliant civilizations developed.
Gwen is the origin of the gods in this world.
However, he is a little different from the gods Su Ziyu knows. The gods in this world live together with humans. They are a bit like the Nordic gods. They rule all things in the world.
Time passed like this for a long time.
I don't know when, the power of the flame began to weaken.
Some undead people gradually appeared in this world, and began to spread rapidly. In order to continue the age of fire, the Sun King Gwen distributed the power of the king's soul to his subordinates, and then put his body as firewood into the Inception In the fire, it is used to strengthen the power of the initial fire and continue the glory of this era.
The term 'Salary King' was born at that time.
In the thousands of years since then, in order to continue the power of the First Fire and prevent the world from being swallowed up by darkness, generations of kings have been thrown into the First Fire as firewood and burned, and this world has continued until now.
The information in the library is incomplete.
Much information about the First Fire Era has been lost, little information about the gods remains, and the records of fire-transmitting rituals are incomplete.
Su Ziyu is only sure of one thing.
If you are chosen as the 'Salary King', no matter what kind of things you have done or how evil you are, you will gain a very high status and be worshiped by people, even if it is only superficially.
but.
If the selected 'King of Fire' is unwilling to fulfill his mission and does not go to the fire-passing sacrificial site to perform the fire-passing ceremony, then some undead people will come to find them and take their heads directly back to be used as firewood. ceremony. This kind of ceremony has been carried out many times in the past. Some Xinwang went there on their own initiative, while others were passively taken away.
Although the ritual of passing the fire is still going on, the world is still decaying and falling.
The power of the primordial fire gradually wanes.
It was like lingering for a while, and now this is what Su Ziyu sees now. There are no living people around, they are all wandering living corpses, and the rest have turned into various monster.
Su Ziyu now doubts whether there are any normal living people in this world.
When the bell rings.
The fire-passing ceremony began. When Su Ziyu just woke up, he heard a strange bell. There were no big bells around the church at all.
The power of the flames is getting weaker and weaker, and there are more and more undead souls.
This is what Su Ziyu has learned so far.
But there are still many things that he doesn't know very well, such as where ghost things like human pus come from and why he lost his humanity after entering this world.
There are no answers in this library.
The most recorded thing in it is something called "the deep", and there are also many horrifying horror stories. The members of the church are also very strange. They can actually rely on reading these stories that record the terrifying existence of the past. Gain the ability to cast spells.
Is this an idealistic belief
By immersing yourself in those terrifying things, do you gain some of their special powers
Completely incomprehensible.
Su Ziyu couldn't gain any spell-casting ability by reading the Holy Book of Netherworld. At most, he felt creepy and had a chill on his back. Maybe it was because he didn't believe in Netherworld at all.
Near this monastery is a wilderness.
The further distance was shrouded in gray mist. The entire monastery was not very big. Except for a large number of graves, no difficult monsters were found. Su Ziyu went back and killed the kneeling zombies. They were slow to react and pounced on them with ritual daggers, killing them all easily. There was no spiritual reaction on the altar. The most powerful person in the entire monastery was probably the monster dressed as a bishop and the old nun who brought him here.
"Looks like we need to explore the surroundings."
Su Ziyu stood on the top of the mountain and looked ahead. He could vaguely see more towering mountains in the distance. There were no human towns and villages at the foot of the monastery. Instead, there were tombstones scattered in the distance. They were very old. It is unknown how many people were buried.
If he counted a little, there were thousands of tombstones nearby.
There was a time when many people must have been buried nearby, because the tombstones looked like they were all buried at the same time.
Let’s look first to see if there are any normal living people!
If there are no normal living people in this world, then Su Ziyu will have to reposition its difficulty.
Bring a few books with you.
There were some gold and silver utensils in the monastery, but Su Ziyu didn't take them because he thought they were taking up space. Many of them were already rotten. After walking around, he didn't find anything special. He just picked up a piece of equipment that was about to dissipate. The priestly soul'.
It seems that souls in this plane can really be picked up on the roadside.
No other strange objects were found.
The weapons are relatively ordinary, and most of them are rusted and unusable. It seems that no outsiders have been here for a long time. In addition, Su Ziyu also discovered something, that is, there is basically no food in the entire monastery, and there is no food in the cellar. There are only abandoned bones and thick dust. There is a circle of land outside the monastery, but no crops are grown. Dozens of scattered tombstones.
"Don't they all need to eat?" Su Ziyu shook his head and refused to recall what the old woman was cooking in the pot.
It doesn't feel like a good thing.
It's getting dark.
Just when Su Ziyu was about to leave the monastery and go out to take a look, a figure carrying a big sword suddenly appeared in his sight. It was a man who looked slightly thinner and taller. He was estimated to have two Mido, but he didn't have much flesh on his body. He wore a tall pointed hat on his head and a metal armor under his gray cloak. After leaning slightly towards Su Ziyu to signal, he suddenly reached out and pulled out the big sword from behind, and slowly He said slowly: "The unknown king!"
“Greetings from Hawkwood of Farland!…”
Wisps of fire appeared on the big sword in his hand, accompanied by a heavy sense of oppression. The man approached step by step and said in a deep voice: "As a fireless ember, please allow me to take you away." 's head.
