Lingwu: I am the only immortal

Chapter 196
Another rainy day, another cave.

Wei Keqing, who was in a good mood, said with a smile that there are no more than ten large caves in the entire Waterfly Swamp, and the blood worship temple may be hidden in one of them. Now two have been found. According to the overall efficiency and the distance to find The temple is not far away.

Wei Keqing was wrong. In fact, the caves discovered this time can be regarded as the second and third.

Because this cave system has two cave entrances that are about five kilometers apart in a straight line.

The content of the cave is also rich enough, including stone bridges, stone platforms, underground rivers, small waterfalls, and small lakes. Nature seems to have created a whole set of environment underground, and then added a tight cover to fully demonstrate its uncanny ability.

Although the natural scenery is unique, it looks smoky when there are snake people.

The snake people's living habits are disgusting to Zhou Yi, they live in the mud nest dug by themselves.This mud nest is just a stinking puddle, surrounded by all kinds of domestic garbage, bones, clothes scraps, ironware, stones, etc., which they don't eat.

And it seems like they excrete directly in the mud nest?Anyway, Zhou Yi had never seen an independent snake-man poop.

The most awesome thing is that the snake man's mud nest reminds Zhou Yi of the subdivided houses that existed in the previous life and even on the Green Star. The mud nest with a diameter of two meters and a depth of only three meters can actually house six or seven snake men. Zhou Yi Novice: "The big vat of pickles is the efficiency of utilization."

It usually looks like a quagmire, and vibrations on the ground will stir up the snakemen inside, making them unable to appear all at once. However, since it is slimy enough, three of them can be squeezed out at once, and the second wave will come out after leaving the nest...

Regarding this, Zhou Yi always viewed it through a lens of curiosity.

Overall, the swamp snakemen are better than the ones on the Red Cloud Terrace.

More casters can shoot water balls.This water balloon looks like a joke, but its actual power is still okay. Its explosive impact is not as good as that of explosives, but the concussive force transmitted by water fluctuations is stronger than the air concussive force of the explosion shock wave.

Zhou Yi believes that this is a matter of density. The denser the material, the more rigid the conduction of force. In short, it will vibrate the internal organs.There is little point in wearing armor. If an ordinary person is hit by a shot, even if his internal organs are not ruptured, he will have to wait for a long time.

And there are toxins in this water.Snakemen have quite a variety of poison types. Which poison they are poisoned has a certain random effect. Depending on their face, each one has its own sour taste.

Generally speaking, even a well-trained soldier or an experienced hunter is quite dangerous against a snake man.In particular, they live in groups. Seeing one is basically equivalent to seeing a group, which is several times more than a group of magic dogs, at least a dozen or twenty.

In addition, there are more warriors among the Swamp Snakemen. Let’s call them that, they are the muscular ones among the Snakemen, who dare to fight and fight hard, and stand in front to attract firepower.

Zhou Yi and Wei Keqing also saw a snake leader in this cave.

The group of snakemen who can occupy such a large cave basically have high-end military force.

This snake leader is not only much bigger than ordinary snake people, but also more ferocious and domineering in appearance, and is a truly extraordinary existence.

Zhou Yi didn't know if it was the blood of the Lan people in his body that was at work. In short, the leader of the snake people was able to cast the formation seal.

It is a complex structure of a magic circle drawn with extraordinary power without the help of array equipment.

The template of this magic circle is fixed and will not be adjusted according to the environment. It is like rubbing and stamping, showing traces on the ground.

In game terms, this is a floor skill that forces players to move, leaving them unable to stand and output more efficiently.

You still have to move. Many floor skills superimpose damage. They will lose health by jumping like a buff, or even lose health as a percentage of the total health. Even if the God of War comes, he can't hold it.

The leader of the snake people could also use the environmental characteristics to flick his tail to create tidal fluctuations. The highly corrosive waves were more than ten meters wide and three to four meters high, and they just pushed over.

Wei Keqing seemed to have suffered a lot from this kind of method. When he saw it, he screamed and ran away early.

Zhou Yi is not afraid of this kind of range attack.If the power is not enough, he can control the energy to form an icebreaker effect and split this wave.

He actually wanted to deceive and control the snake leader.

They are omnivorous, have strong reproductive abilities, and grow rapidly. Moreover, they are a lonely race and do not have a good relationship with other creatures. Perhaps this is related to their synthetic origin.

If the swamp area needs a cannon fodder race to resist the erosion of hell creatures and protoss aberrations, then Zhou Yi chooses the snake people.

This is the lesser of three evils. The water behind the other two is too deep.

The depth of water means that the upper limit of destructive potential is high. If a world-destroying evil thing pops up, he and all the creatures in this world will lose.

In addition, it is not that he has not considered the ancient Luo barbarians.

Although he had no in-depth contact with them, he still instinctively felt that these branches of humanity, which had long bound their groups to a tribal state, were barbaric enough, but not necessarily simple.

Poor, violent, and evil, Zhou Yi had seen such people before, and felt that the ancient Luo people were like this too.

Of course, snake people are also bad. The intimidating totems they create exceed the bottom line of human tolerance.

But creatures labeled as 'savage' are basically like this.

In its eyes, people have no privileges, and they will not be treated differently just because they are human beings.

So, if wild animals can peel off their skin, why can’t humans?
Their understanding of intimidation is blood and cruelty, setting an example that scares others of their kind. Therefore, from a rational perspective, the evil of snake people is an uncivilized primitive evil.

Zhou Yi also said to Wei Keqing at that time: "With the wandering way of the snake people, it is quite difficult for the snakes to come out with such a totem pole."

In this rotten world, the snake man's evil is simple.

Human beings are all like this, expecting other races to respect and fear them like masters, and to be strong enough to beat each other's parents even if they don't answer, so that when they see people, they will think of the fear of being dominated, This may be possible.

But now, as panicked as a lost dog and as weak as a sheep, you run into the wilderness to compete with wild beasts on your ability to survive in the wild. If you don't bully who will bully you?
Civilization and morality are just concepts born in human groups, and other creatures do not respect them.What other creatures respect is instinct, which is the law of competition formed in the natural environment of the jungle and the survival of the fittest.

To put it bluntly, the human beings in this area are now in a state of decline, and other races dare to poop and urinate on top of them.

After some attempts, Zhou Yi ended in failure.

Snake people have souls, but are too primitive.

To put it nicely, the heart of a child is not so round and round. There are almost no loopholes in such a mind to exploit, so there is no way to control it.

The more lustful and insufficient the person is, the easier it is to control them.But it's not without problems, and you need to battle wits with it from time to time.

All in all, confusion control is also a profound knowledge, just like the adult world, nothing is easy.

Zhou Yi finally killed him with one sword.

This time I didn’t use Qi Jin.

The strength of Qi cannot cut this snake-man leader, and he is protected by extraordinary power.

But Zhou Yi's basic sword skills are at the pinnacle of proficiency. This level is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Either talent + diligence, or like Zhou Yi, cheating!
Therefore, the style of Zhou Yi's sword surprised Wei Keqing again.

She couldn't describe the feeling, but she remembered that very pretentious saying: If God can bleed, then God can also be killed.

Once the leader died, there were only a few shrimps, shrimps, crabs and crabs left in the cave.The process of eradicating them is not worth mentioning.

It is worth mentioning that Zhou Yi also discovered an ancient god's shrine here.

The sacrifice needed this time is not the evil crystal, but the frozen heart.

Zhou Yiyi thought about it, the extraordinary power of the leader of the snake man was partial to the water attribute, and he didn't know if his heart met the requirements.Give it a try!

The result was a first-time success.

This made him couldn't help but wonder if the leader of the snake people came to live here with his people. Did he feel the call secretly?

Anyway, Wei Keqing couldn't see the shrine, as if the shrine was in a dimensional world.

Wei Keqing also asked him why he was facing the wall. What was on this wet rock wall?

When he picked up the essence of the power of the Five Elements that was fed back after the shrine was activated, Wei Keqing said that his three views were subverted. He originally cherished abnormal treasures and could actually obtain them in this way. He couldn't help but ask why there was such a thing in the rock. , the power has not spread out for a long time.

Zhou Yi could only say: "Even for extraordinary people, not all phenomena can be given a decent explanation."

Wei Keqing's rift teleportation is really a very convenient ability.

Like this time, the snakemen killed in the cave, as well as the artifacts of the human victims collected, can be sent back to Honor Hold through the rift.

After the snake corpse is processed, it can be stored in the cellar.

It can also be used for cleaning and repairing utensils.

During this period of time, the corpse puppets have demolished more than a dozen farming villages on the Hongyun Terrace, thus accumulating a batch of materials, but some types of materials are still temporarily non-renewable.

Such as cloth, and such as iron materials.

The Panshi Army has set up a flagpole, but it still has a long way to go if it wants to develop.

Cave is a place for evil and evil, but this cave was not shady in Zhouyi.

He has recently fallen into poverty again.

Although two thousand zombie puppets basically work in an underground environment, the cost is still high.

He has already built the Taiyin Altar on the main top floor of the Glory Castle in order to obtain the power of the Taiyin and even the Emperor's Serum, but it is still a drop in the bucket.

It would be best to build dozens more similar altars...

It’s not easy to be the boss.

When workers wake up every day, they wonder where to find food and what to eat today.

The boss wakes up every day wondering how much money he lost today.

Of course there is also a time to make money.

The problem is that the money you make is often real estate, equipment, raw materials, and products. If you quit, these can be treated with less discounts, and the benefits will be higher, otherwise you will have to pay warehouse rental fees.

But if you don't add new equipment, you won't be competitive. If you don't buy raw materials in bulk, the price won't be cheap. If you don't accumulate some products, there will be a sales trend, and you won't rush to make them now.

The same is true for Zhou Yi. His Youyang Army is useless if it doesn't work well in any aspect.

With bare hands, do you really need to fight with your face?

But how much would it cost to get weapons and equipment?

Although the corpse puppet does not need to sleep, it actually needs maintenance. It is a one-time use and it is not cost-effective to calculate the general ledger.

Especially now that there is competition from the protoss and corpses are in short supply, many of his corpse puppets require quite a lot of investment in prerequisites, which is equivalent to recruiting high-paying workers.Making less money means losing money. After all, there are still costs of time, losses and so on.

When a boss pays money, it is usually in cash.Salary payment, rent, water and electricity, and operation all require money, and you cannot rely on products.

Therefore, a big shopkeeper with assets worth hundreds of millions may not be able to simply take out tens of millions of cash and keep it there. It sounds like a thing, but it is sold like a pawn. If you give three yuan for a ten yuan thing, it is inappropriate to pawn it.

Zhouyi now has another problem of unsustainable capital chain.

You have to find money and be careful with your budget at the same time.

Knowing that if the cave is not dealt with, it will be occupied by a new messy gang within a few days, so he still has no choice but to give up.

"Before looking for the Blood Worship Cult's hidden temple, I plan to clear the official roads in the Waterfly Swamp area first. This is part of my search and rescue plan."

Wei Keqing nodded: "It's understandable. If the official road is clear, it will be easier for survivors traveling from the north to the south to pass through this swamp. If there is a choice, who would be willing to stay in such a gloomy area with nothing but rain and fog? ?
However, I have a mission, and I must go all out to search for the hidden temple.I'm afraid I have to be separated from you for a while. "

"Well, I will prepare some small gifts for you to facilitate your practice."...

The two of them settled in a village that evening.

This is one of the few human villages in the swamp area.

Zhouyi admitted that the people who built the village spent a lot of thought on selecting the site. The terrain was relatively high, half surrounded by a dike and a naturally formed steep stone wall more than four meters high, forming a platform with a general foundation, and a large rock. It can be used as a barrier and an observation tower can be built on it.

People who live here only need to pull up two not-so-long walls between the rocks and the steep stone walls, and then install two doors to have two exits, the southeast and the northeast.

However, no matter how good the terrain is, it is also afraid of being robbed.

Now this is a small paradise for aberrations, and there is even a leader monster.

It is said that a person with talent for cultivation is only one in a thousand, but a person with enough talent to succeed in cultivation is rare.

From this point of view, the leader monster among the aberrations is like a cultivator without one in a thousand miles.

The bloodline talent is so strong that it is unreasonable and can almost be understood as the upper limit benchmark.

It also takes excellent opportunities and luck to create a leader-level aberration.

Such an existence is difficult to create by just spending money. Zhou Yi couldn't bear to let it go, so he fought against Sanbaihe.

At the end of the defeat, the leader monster found that his younger brother was gone, the evil crystal was gone, his family had been wiped out by Zhou Yi, and his way out was almost dead.

The next step is naturally a dead end.Although as a leader in burning corpses, this guy is not only fierce, but can also form a flame force field around his body, and his burning ability is first-rate, but these are very energy-consuming, and without energy, it is just a large piece of smoldering charcoal.

Zhou Yi used the overgrown thorns and vines to trap him into a mummy, blocking his ability to interact with the external environment, and then began to use Yin evil to corrode his body.

This is a slow job, stuffed into the shadows and slowly trained.

The originally dilapidated village was completely shattered after this battle. There were dregs and burning fires everywhere, and there was nothing left to pick up.

Wei Keqing said with bright eyes: "Zhou Yi, you can't even teach me the method you just used to eradicate the evil crystal?
Evil crystal pollution has always been one of the most serious problems, and we are always helpless about it.

Many areas and many passages have become desperate places and natural chasms because of the clusters of evil crystals.

If I could handle the evil crystal as effectively as you, it would be a huge help. "Wei Keqing had visited the survivors at Maogongdu before and stayed there for one night, so he already knew Zhou Yi's real name.

"I'm sorry, this is related to my path of cultivation. It is a concrete manifestation of my exclusive ability with the help of a magic weapon. Not to mention being used by ordinary people, even others in my sect cannot do it."

"Oh, I knew it would not be that easy." Wei Keqing looked sad.

"The great enemy of the Lan Kingdom, and even the great enemy of the survivors, is obviously the Star Spirit and the puppet system it controls. Why is it that it is clinging to the True God Sect?" Zhou Yi took the opportunity to change the subject and asked what had been going on for many days. doubt.

Wei Keqing shook his head: "I don't know much about some things. It is said to be related to a huge hidden danger. It is a mistake made by Qin Tianjian in the past. It is more dangerous than the Star Spirit."

Zhou Yi nodded and said in his heart: "Sure enough, there is something hateful about the poor people. They risk their lives to conduct secret research. There is a precedent for it. The star spirit can take advantage of it. In addition to knocking on the door with heavy profits, it also sees through the desires of the top officials of the Lan Kingdom." Slavery, dare to try anything related to taboos."

After a night's rest, the two went their separate ways early the next morning.

Zhou Yi gave Wei Keqing a delicate metal flask. This flask with a magic circle etched on it can slowly collect the extraordinary power around it. Whether it is the energy overflowing from the magic weapon, the energy of the evil crystal, or the energy of the rift creatures, it can Can be absorbed.

Then it is transformed into the power of blood evil.

Seed Spirit Induces Evil, Wei Keqing cultivates Blood Evil, which is closely related to the main supernatural power used by the True God Sect, but it is purer and has no special arrangement in the underworld.

Therefore, the liquid blood evil in this small flagon is equivalent to a medicine to assist in practicing kung fu.Fill the jug with water or wine to dilute and take a sip when needed.

It can be regarded as a very practical magic weapon, which meets Wei Keqing's lowest-level cultivation needs.

Otherwise, even though she deals with extraordinary beings all day long, the Shaoyin environment in this world and the harsh criticism of practitioners will still choke her and make it difficult for her to practice.

When Zhou Yi left, he left a road sign at the village site.

He had been wandering around the Waterfly Swamp for so many days, and this was the only place he saw a small elevated platform like this.It's like an island in the water.

Although the evil crystal has turned this small platform and the surrounding area into wasteland, it still has the value of establishing a foothold.

It just so happens that we don't even have to clear out the strong walls. In the future, we will cut down the dead trees and other things around us, which will be more conducive to defense.

Zhou Yi's idea in this regard is actually a hunter's cabin.

Travelers, trekkers, and even lost people are lucky to find a hunting hut in the wilderness.

On Earth, there is even an exclusive culture and unwritten rules for access and contribution.

The hunter's cabin in Zhouyi is extraordinary, that is, the Taiyin Sanctuary.

For exiles and refugees, it is of great significance to be given such a mouthful of milk at a critical moment.

In the waterfly swamp area, his arrangement is mainly this, through soft power, to help the predestined people he is willing to help.

Hard power is naturally to create cannon fodder like the Snake Man, but unfortunately this plan failed.Snake people are difficult to control because of their simple minds.

This corresponds to the saying: Those who are wise and foolish will succeed without confusion, while those who are mediocre are easily troubled.
