I became a member of the ancient gods

Chapter 187 The God Who Is in Trouble

"The outsider hasn't been found yet?" The high priest blew out a smoke ring.

"He disappeared after escaping up the mountain. We searched with all the hunters all night but couldn't find him. We also lost two hounds." The priest shook his head.

This town is located in a remote location, far away from all shelter areas. It is on the edge of the mine, and the nearby roads are also ruined. Basically, no wilderness travelers from outside will pass by casually.

Gangs and warlords who took a fancy to this place came before, and they were all killed and then fed to the gods.

Out of superstition, people in ancient times did similar things when encountering disasters. They threw people into flooded rivers or into mountains infested by wild beasts, and sacrificed them to the so-called river gods and mountain gods.

But their gods are not illusory, but real. They have overwhelming terrifying power and can eat people.In the past, some people said that Shangshen was the same as the monsters outside, but now no one dares to say so. Residents who dare to disrespect Shangshen will be imprisoned by the church.

The god does not care about anything in the town. He will only deal with foreign enemies and eat the sacrifices that are offered regularly. If the sacrifices are not offered, the god will get angry and enter the town to hunt for prey. By then, it will not be solved by just one death. Something happened.

To some extent, having outsiders come is a good thing for the town. It is definitely better to use outsiders as sacrifices than to sacrifice locals, but no outsiders have come for a long time.

But not long ago, a stranger appeared near the town, sneaking around.

Later, a resident caught him. He seemed to be a lost homeless man. He begged the resident for mercy, saying that he was just too hungry and wanted to steal something in the fields outside the town.

Instead, the resident warmly entertained him, welcomed him home, let him stay for the night, and said that the town welcomed outsiders.

This was of course a complete lie. The purpose of the residents was to subdue the homeless man and then dedicate him to the church.

According to the church's regulations, the family that proactively provides sacrifices to the church will receive generous material rewards and some privileges in the town.

However, the homeless man was very vigilant, and he knocked down the local residents who wanted to sneak attack while they were sleeping that night, and then ran away on the spot.

The resident simply called everyone nearby. Knowing that outsiders came to the town, there was a commotion in the town.Many people got up at night to search for the outsider. After all, whoever caught him would be the first to succeed.

But after the man escaped into the mine, they never found any trace of him again.

"To be able to escape from so many people without finding any trace, you don't look like an ordinary person." The high priest took a deep breath and blew out a string of smoke. "Someone is investigating the town."

"Is someone targeting this place again?" The priest's voice didn't sound nervous.

"I can't tell." The priest put out the cigarette he was about to smoke and didn't seem to care.

Even if an enemy appears, it doesn't matter. God will eliminate all foreign enemies, whether they are humans or monsters. If they are humans, it will allow God to be more stable for a while.

"Grand Priest!" The voice of the conversation brought the priest back to his senses. He was surprised to find that a resident turned back to the church and waved in this direction.

"The ceremony is still going on, don't go near the church!" the high priest scolded.

"High priest, I saw a stranger!" The resident stopped and shouted to the priest while panting.

"What did you say!?" The priest was startled, exchanged glances with the priest next to him, and immediately moved closer.

"Where did you see the outsider who escaped the night before yesterday?" the priest asked, staring at the man.

"On the north side of the town, I just cut the grass there...and then I saw someone smiling at me on the other side of the field from a distance. It wasn't the one last time, but this time it was a woman. She...she..." the resident adjusted his breathing. Said, "She..."

"What's wrong with her? Speak quickly!" a priest urged.

"She...she...she..." The resident got stuck on this syllable and kept repeating it, like a broken repeater.

Even the priests and priests looked puzzled. At this time, the resident raised his face and looked directly into the eyes of the high priest, his eyes flashing with a strange red light.

Everyone was shocked, and then the priests and residents lost consciousness and fell down without warning. Only the high priest still stood there blankly, his eyes shining red.

With a clicking sound, the church door was opened again.

A face appeared on the red mud-like body of the God, and he let out a muddy roar:

"I told you not to disturb the sacrifices when they are being used."

"You seem to be in very bad condition, the apostle of the priesthood. You failed to seize the throne of God, the abyss as the source shrank, you abandoned the mission given by the will of the Supreme Being, and you still have to manage a group of humans to ensure a stable supply. How miserable. "There was a mocking smile on the priest's face, and the words in his mouth could be called treasonous in his capacity.

"You..." God was more shocked than angry.

The other party knew his situation right as soon as he came in, and it was impossible for the group of humans he ruled to know his secret.

The priest grinned and his eyes glowed red. The monster looked directly into those eyes and felt a strong sense of discomfort.

The god who ruled the town suddenly felt a crisis. He realized that the person in front of him was not the human being who had always been his spokesperson and was obedient to him, but a blasphemer of the same level as him!
The air began to crackle with static electricity, the metal utensils placed in the church trembled slightly under the influence of magnetism, and the god began to prepare an attack.

"If you take action in this state, you have a [-]% chance of winning. Save your strength, I'm not your enemy, I'm here to give you a warning." The "priest" with red eyes pointed at the monster and said, "Someone wants to Kill you. The blasphemer who took away the priesthood and brought you to this point will find you soon. The people she sent have already arrived in this town, and soon you will be in trouble."

The monster suddenly froze in place.

"You can ask the humans under your command if any outsiders have been here recently. Anyway, the news should have spread a long time ago. Knowing that there are priest-like apostles who escaped in the past, what do you think she will do?"

"Who are you?" the monster asked suspiciously.

"The Deathstroke Order that invited you before, that blasphemer is our enemy, why not let us help you plan an escape route." The controlled priest smiled at the monster.
