Some were tied to tree stumps, and some had chains on their bodies. Their clothes were in tatters and their bodies were stained with blood. Some were livid, with no trace of blood visible, and from time to time they made oozing sounds.
Look at the piles of dead people next to them, exuding waves of evil and ugliness, which is very permeable!
And the man who was on the altar just now has woken up now, hiding in the corner and curling up, seeing everything in front of him. His eyes were full of fear.
Seeing this, Shuo Ling couldn't help but be curious!
Why are these people like his test subjects? What on earth is this wizard going to do
Just as they were thinking, they heard voices nearby. The two quickly looked behind them and found a fork in the road next to them.
Didn't you walk a few steps along this fork in the road? Then he saw a secret room, and looking through the crack in the door, he saw the wizard just now!
At this time, he was giving orders, and all he heard was, "How many people died today?"
"Four." Only one person replied.
"Four? Huh! These people's physical fitness is too poor. Remember to tell these villagers to find some strong people the next time they arrest people. If you can't find them, choose from them." Zhan You's face showed a slight smile. angry.
The man hurriedly replied, "The younger one took note and will give the order later."
"Go and feed this to the person who came in just now, remember to be careful." Zhan You handed a small jar to the person.
The man took the small jar Zhan You gave him and walked towards them.
The two quickly retreated and continued to observe behind him.
I saw this man walking up to the man just now, handing the jar to the man, "Eat this."
"What... what is this? I... don't want to eat, I don't want..." The man was obviously frightened and curled up hard.
I saw this man saying angrily, "Don't want to eat? It's not up to you here. Come on, be good and eat it quickly. After taking it, you will be strong and healthy. You will live forever."
"I don't believe it,... I... don't believe it, go away, go away!" The man waved his hands desperately to prevent this person from getting close.
"Don't believe it? You can't believe it!" As he said this, the man pinched the man's chin with his hand and poured the contents of the jar into the man's mouth.
Shuo Ling saw clearly that an insect as big as a child's hand had penetrated into this man's body!
Seeing that the worm had entered the man's body, the man quickly locked him up with chains.
After a while, the man was seen twisting his body, with veins popping out on his body, his face turned black, and his eyes were filled with blood, as if blood was about to drip out. He looked extremely painful.
At this time, the man roared, and the thick iron chain on his wrist was broken by him!
Without the restraints of the iron chain, this person started to smash at the people around him, as if he had lost his mind.
When the man saw this, he quickly ran back to the secret room.
Shouted, "Wizard, Wizard, no... not good!"
"What's wrong?" Zhan You looked impatient.
The man gasped and replied, "Outside, after the man outside took what the wizard gave him, he actually broke the iron chain and started smashing around!"
"Are you telling the truth?" After hearing this, the wizard ran up to the man and shook his shoulders with both hands, with a smile on his face.
After seeing the man nod, the wizard quickly walked out of the secret room. Run to the dungeon.
Seeing this man who was going crazy, he said excitedly, "Success, success, finally success!"
The crazy man saw Zhan You and walked toward him. Zhan You calmly took out a silver needle from his sleeve. When the man approached him, he inserted the silver needle accurately until the man was crazy. In one's temple.
Looking at this person at this time, he felt like his skin was deflated, and his whole body was limp and he collapsed on the ground!
Zhan You turned around and told the man just now, "Go, take care of this man, and don't make any mistakes, otherwise, our two lives cannot bear it!"
Hearing this, Shuo Ling and Mo Li quietly retreated, deciding not to alert the enemy and wait until everything was arranged before confronting him head-on.
The two left the temple village.
Shuo Ling couldn't help but think that it seemed that this Zhan You was not the one who controlled the whole incident. After hearing what Zhan You just said, it seemed that the person behind the scenes should not be underestimated!
Back at the inn, it was already broad daylight.
After the two of them filled their stomachs, Shuo Ling ordered Mo Li, "Next, go to Wu Gu City to inform King Gu, and tell King Gu what you saw last night."
As he said this, he gave Mo Li the card that Gu King had given him yesterday.
Li Qiye set off immediately.
Hearing from Mo Li that the army sent by the emperor had arrived in Paradise City, he decided to go and hand over the troops first and give instructions on the next thing. Shuo Ling decided to cooperate with King Gu to take down the temple village in one fell swoop
When he arrived at He Mansion, He Zhang called General Li who came this time.
Although General Li is a bit irritable, he is decisive, loves his soldiers like a son, has rich battlefield experience, and is very popular among his subordinates.
With Chu Shi Youtian's suspicious temperament, he must have felt that the matter had something to do with it outside the Great Wall, and he was afraid of any accidents in the process, so he asked General Li to lead his troops.
"General Li must have heard about what happened here. What do you think of it?" Shuo Ling asked.
I saw General Li saying disdainfully, "From what I see, we can just send troops and flatten this temple village!"
"The general's words are wrong! This will not solve the fundamental problem. Not only will it not appease the people, it will also make people more worried." Shuo Ling frowned slightly when he heard what General Li said.
After hearing what Shuo Ling said, General Li smiled and scratched his head, "I am a rough man, I only know how to fight with soldiers. Shuohou has been at the frontier for many days, and I must have found some clues. If you have anything to do, Shuohou, just tell me , I just obey orders."
"Since General Li said so, we will take action tonight." Shuo Ling said.
General Li asked Shuoling again, "What do I need to do then?"
"At that time, General Li will only be responsible for surrounding the village first and holding his troops still while we go to detect the situation. Once the order is given, you will enter the village immediately." Shuo Ling said to General Li.
"Okay, I'm going to give orders to my men right now." General Li stood up and walked away.
In Wu Gu City, when Mo Li saw Gu King, he told him everything he saw last night.
After hearing this, King Gu frowned tightly together. It seemed that the matter was more serious than he thought. His junior brother actually read the forbidden book and raised the nightmare Gu! Now it seems that he has succeeded. If he is allowed to raise Nightmare Gu in large quantities, the consequences will be disastrous!
Thinking of this, King Gu did not dare to think about it anymore and immediately said to Mo Li, "You wait here for a while, I will prepare and go down the mountain with you."
When we arrived at Paradise City, the sky was getting dark.
Mo Li took the Gu King and his family's Lord Hou.
With everything ready, the three of them entered the temple village first.
Seeing that the time was almost up, General Li also led a large army towards the Temple Village, hiding around, just waiting for the order!
As soon as they entered the village, they met the two people from yesterday again on the road. They were beating gongs to summon the villagers. King Gu signaled Shuo Ling to capture them and question them thoroughly.
Shuo Ling understood, and just as soon as his body flashed, he swept the two people over.
Seeing the three of them, I was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "My hero, have mercy on me, my hero, have mercy on me!"
Li Qiye made a gesture of wiping his neck towards them, signaling them to be silent.
When the two saw this, they quickly shut up.
Then he asked, "If you want to survive, tell me, who is behind this?"
"Hero, we are just villagers here. We are also forced to do these things. We don't know where this wizard comes from, so how can we know the mastermind behind it?" The two of them spoke with tears in their voices.
Seeing this, Hou Shi said, "They don't look like they are panicking. It's getting late now, so don't waste time on these two people."
"King Gu is right, the sacrifices are probably about to begin." Shuo Ling also felt that he should not waste time on the two of them.
Hearing Shuo Ling calling the man next to him, King Gu, the two of them quickly knelt and walked to King Gu, kowtowed and said, "I beg King Gu to save the lives of all our villagers. We don't want to be coerced by this wizard anymore!" "
King Gu bent down and helped the two of them up, "Don't worry, you guys can tell me slowly and listen to me."
"This matter started about half a year ago. The domestic animals in the village died for no reason, which made everyone panic. One day, a wizard came to the village and said that the village was very violent. Everyone believed it, so they asked him to save them. So the wizard took out some jars from his arms and gave them to the villagers, saying that drinking the water in the jars would prevent the evil spirit from entering the body," one of the men said.
Hearing this, Li Li couldn't help but ask, "Then you all drank it?"
"Most people drank it and were controlled by it. Later we learned that everyone was bewitched. If we didn't drink it, the wizard threatened our family's lives and refused to tell anyone. We had to follow him every day. He will arrest people and come back. If he cannot catch them, he will select strong men from among us and send them to the heaven for sacrifice." As the man spoke, he couldn't help but shed tears. It seemed that he was deeply hurt!
The man wiped away his tears and continued, "In the end, all these people disappeared on the altar, and I don't know where they went? Everyone is afraid that it will be their turn next."
The three of them nodded after hearing this. It seemed that these villagers were also very pitiful.
So King Gu said to these two people, "You go back first, don't make this wizard suspicious, and we will go there later."
After the two left, King Gu said to Shuo Ling and Mo Li, "After a while, I will rush to the altar, snatch away the people on the altar, and attract their attention. You enter the secret room quickly. Remember! You must first Kill the man you saw yesterday."
"Why do you want to kill that person?" Mo Li had a question on his face.
Hou Shi ordered again, "There is no time to explain now. Remember to stab the man's heart. Otherwise, when Zhan You reacts, none of us combined will be his opponent."
After the explanation, the three of them also walked towards the altar.
At this time, Zhan You was dancing with his cane under the altar. Hou Shi flew straight to the middle of the altar, knocked the unconscious man on the altar, dragged him up and ran away.
Seeing this, Zhan You directed the villagers to surround Hou Shi who broke in, and then he walked up to Hou Shi.
Shuo Ling and Li Li on the side saw the opportunity and took advantage of it, quickly opened the mechanism, entered the cave, and walked straight like a dungeon.
