"Something strange?" When Xu Dingjia heard this, he became interested and asked quickly, "What kind of strange thing is it?"
Ren Zhifei was dissatisfied with being interrupted, glanced at Xu Dingjia, and continued: "Just a week ago, some strange things began to grow around the camp. Those things seemed to be plant vines, with sharp spikes. , and most of us can’t see these vines exist.”
"Can't you see it?" Jiang Cheng was confused. "Since you can't see it, how do you know these vines exist?"
Ren Zhifei explained: "After strangers reach a certain age, they will give birth to personalities with special abilities, and their abilities are different. For example, my second personality, Black Cat, is good at reasoning, and Pang Cheng is good at fighting. Ability, priest Fei Yi is far superior to ordinary people in terms of mental strength. Those who discovered the existence of these vines were strangers with special observation abilities. However, these people are a minority after all. When the vines did not form a large scale at first, there were no people in the camp. I cared too much. It wasn’t until something happened later that everyone realized how scary this vine was.”
"Could these vines hurt people?" Jiang Cheng recalled that when he first entered Binlin Mountain, he was attacked by Guixu believers. At that time, they seemed to have used a vine attack magic.
"It's not just as simple as hurting people." Ren Zhifei said solemnly, "Because most people can't see it, many people working outside the camp accidentally touched the spikes on those vines. At first, I felt, It was just like being bitten by a mosquito. But after returning, in just one night, terrible changes occurred in their bodies."
Recalling that scene, Ren Zhifei couldn't help but shudder, and after calming down the fear in his heart, he continued: "Those who have touched the vines have mutated and twisted bodies, and are very irritable and aggressive. Even if it is him in front of him, They would not hesitate to attack each other's relatives until they were killed! In just one morning, several people died in the camp one after another, and more than ten people were seriously injured. At this time, the senior management of the camp realized the seriousness of the problem , and finally took action. Although these infected people have a strong desire to attack, fortunately their strength is still within the range of normal people, and they have no rationality and intelligence. Even so, the camp guard still spent a lot of effort to lock these people away. After finding out what happened, we learned that the vines outside the camp were still growing and tended to surround the camp."
"From this point of view, these vines must be controlled by the Guixu believers from behind!" Xu Dingjia asserted, then showed a puzzled expression and asked: "How big is your camp? Maybe I can judge from the scale of this evil magic. Infer the approximate number of returning believers."
Ren Zhifei thought for a while and said: "Although our place is called a camp, it is just a name passed down from ancient times. In fact, the entire camp is almost as big as a small town, and there are hundreds of strangers living in it."
"So big!" Xu Dingjia was stunned. "If this is the case, the number of Guixu believers cannot be less than a hundred, and all of them must be intermediate believers or even stronger!"
"There are actually so many Guixu believers hiding here!" Jiang Cheng was surprised when he heard this. "This is really scary! I heard that most of the Guixu believers are hiding among foreigners. Don't you realize this? ?"
Ren Zhifei shook his head and said: "The magnetic field here is quite chaotic. If you deliberately hide it, even you cultivators will not be able to tell who are the true Guixu believers, and of course there is nothing we can do."
Jiang Cheng thought of something and said, "What about the Holy Grail? If the pure energy in the Holy Grail is used, wouldn't it be possible to restore the Guixu believers to normal?"
Xu Dingjia said from the side: "You think the Holy Grail is tap water, and you can use it by turning on the faucet?"
"He is right. The energy in the Holy Grail is limited, and it is impossible to test everyone with this method." Ren Zhifei said, "Only the camp's senior leaders have been baptized by the Holy Grail to prevent the returned believers from destroying the camp from within. But the camp Among other people, they can only rely on other methods to protect themselves from being deceived by Guixu believers. Guixu believers have a very strong ability to bewitch, and in the past struggles, they often converted strangers in large groups. In order to deal with this, The camp has established more than ten sentry posts around it, each with a team of dozens to several people. On the one hand, it expands the surveillance range of the camp, and on the other hand, it is also to monitor each other. The captains of the sentry posts have all received Holy Grail baptisms can be trusted, and they are also tasked with monitoring their subordinates. It can be said that the entire camp, including the sentry post, has always been in a state of mutual surveillance and distrust. It is precisely because of this that the Guixu believers failed to If you greatly expand your power, you can only remain dormant among the crowd."
"But judging from the current situation, the number of Guixu believers is no less than a hundred, which shows that this method is not completely effective." Xu Dingjia spoke without hesitation, thinking directly in his mind.
Ren Zhifei sighed and said: "Indeed, although we tried our best to guard against the Guixu believers, we were unable to completely eradicate them. In the end, they developed. There was also a rebellion at one of the outposts. The sentry team was bewitched and assassinated their captain!"
"In other words, all the sentry members have become Guixu believers?" Jiang Cheng's scalp went numb when he heard it, and he said: "Even the captain was assassinated. Wouldn't such behavior attract the attention of other sentry posts?"
"The sentry posts are originally monitoring each other. If it were normal, they would definitely join forces to clear out the transformed sentry posts. But when the same thing happened recently, everything became not so easy again." Ren Zhifei said.
"Is it because of those vines?" Jiang Cheng said thoughtfully, "The purpose of those vines is to distract the camp and prepare for the next rebellion!"
"How to do it?" Xu Dingjia asked with a frown, his expression a bit incomprehensible.
Ren Zhifei couldn't understand Xu Dingjia's expression, but he still replied: "Didn't I say before that the detectors found that vines were surrounding the camp? The camp's senior management realized that if these vines were not cleared away, the entire camp might be invaded by these vines. So, the clan leader mobilized the entire camp to try to eradicate the vines as quickly as possible."
"However, although this idea is correct, it is very difficult to implement." Ren Zhifei said, "Only detectors can see the vines, but there are less than ten such people, and everyone else must be careful. Moreover, these vines cannot be detected Physical elimination requires the use of mental attacks to destroy. Therefore, although the entire operation is tense, the progress is extremely slow."
"Everyone was so exhausted that what happened next was completely unprepared for us."
