All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

After returning from the Melkion Underground Temple and resting in the town for a night, Wang Zhifan led Huang Neng and the students again and headed to the small lake east of the town, the place where he killed Dagon's follower Rod.

After a day without coming, this remote place is still the same as before, with only a small thatched house standing alone by the lake, and a few traces left on the lake beach where Wang Zhifan killed Rhodes.

"Professor, what are we doing here?"

Alice, a rich female student holding a white staff, was the first to ask Wang Zhifan questions after arriving at the lake. She was puzzled as to why Wang Zhifan brought them to this ordinary place.

Wang Zhifan did not answer her immediately. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed to the calm lake next to him, activating his own ice source power.

Everyone then saw the lake water quickly freeze and become a solid piece, and then the thick ice separated in the direction of Wang Zhifan's finger, revealing the lake bottom that was tens of meters deep.

In the middle of the lake, covered with ice crystals, there was a cone-shaped stone the size of a dining table. It was very eye-catching because around the stone were several cut human corpses neatly arranged in a guarding and kneeling posture. It turned out to be something like a bloody altar.

The faces of several students changed when they saw this cruel scene, but no one lost their composure. After all, they had seen quite a few corpses yesterday.

"My students, our next task is to arrange this simple altar. The ancient god Dagon is worshipped here. We need to transform it so that the will of the ancient god Dagon can descend here..."

Wang Zhifan then began to give a detailed explanation. As he spoke, various objects appeared by the lake, including various regular stone slabs and stone pillars. Some frozen cultists from the underground temple yesterday were all transferred by him as materials for the next use.

Originally, he had no intention of using this place after discovering it the day before yesterday. On the one hand, the layout here was too simple, and it was difficult to use it to summon the ancient gods. On the other hand, the intelligence he obtained showed that Dagon was cruel and dark, and was not a suitable person to contact.

But after yesterday's failure and the warning that the ancient god was about to revive, he was a little impatient and had to find a way to complete the copy as soon as possible, even if doing so would involve greater risks.

So in the following time, all six people were busy. Wang Zhifan, as the chief designer and chief constructor, led four students and Huang Neng to transform the small altar at the bottom of the lake according to the detailed information obtained from the mind of Dagon's follower Rod, intending to turn it into a place that could receive Dagon's will as quickly as possible.

This is certainly not an easy task. Generally speaking, it cannot be completed without hundreds of people working for several months.

But Wang Zhifan is not an ordinary person. He possesses powerful power of time and space, especially the power of space, which is very useful in construction. In addition, he has prepared various materials in advance, so the main part of the new altar was quickly built in just over an hour.

After the main body of the altar is built, it still needs to be processed in the details. For example, his four students are now busy writing ancient odes on the stone pillars at the four corners of the altar, which is quite relevant to their studies.

Each of them used a wooden stick dipped in a fishy-smelling red liquid to write. Wang Zhifan was told that the dye was animal blood, but in fact it was fresh blood taken from the cultists through space means.

"As expected, students work the hardest. Each of them has an excellent piece of equipment, which is enough to motivate them to work diligently and without complaint."

At this moment, looking at the new altar that was ten meters square at the bottom of the lake, the students who were busy on the pillars around the altar, and a long-haired young man named Huang Neng who was standing outside doing nothing, Wang Zhifan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If he had not chosen the identity of an archaeologist and had not gained some interpersonal resources through this identity, that is, these four students, he and Huang Neng alone would probably not be able to build the altar in front of them.

The reason is a bit subtle. They have acquired basic local language skills through the extraordinary game, but they are limited to reading and speaking. They can't write at all, let alone ancient Chinese, which is not within the basic language skills. The four students with corresponding majors helped them a lot and allowed them to pass this annoying link.

The best example is that Huang Neng can only watch the NPC students work. He also wants to perform well in front of Wang Zhifan who has gifted him with top-notch excellent weapons, but he can't write hymns to ancient gods at all, so he can only do simple tasks such as moving and placing things.

However, Huang Neng, feeling ashamed, soon found something suitable for him to do. He disappeared in a flash. At the same time, Wang Zhifan, who was not far from him, turned his head and looked at the woods in the distance. There were more than a dozen wild birds flying up into the sky from the forest, indicating that there were some unusual movements around.

"Someone actually came here? And he's an acquaintance. If he hadn't shown up, I would have forgotten about him."

Wang Zhifan's perception was so strong that he actually noticed a group of strangers approaching before Huang Neng, but he didn't care about someone coming to him and planned to let others come closer. However, Huang Neng had a different idea from him. As soon as he noticed it, he immediately went over to investigate.

At this time, around the altar at the bottom of the lake where four students were busy writing hymns to the ancient gods with blood, about thirty people were walking through the woods surrounding the lake.

The two leaders among them, who were originally riding horses, dismounted and tied their horses outside the woods, then led a team dressed in priest uniforms and guard uniforms through the woods towards the lake.

One of the leaders was the bearded priest whom Wang Zhifan had met in the Church of Our Lady. Behind him were several strong male believers holding scriptures or scepters.

The other leader was a middle-aged police officer. He had a cigarette dangling from his lips and a pistol in his hand, which was rare in this world. The police officers behind him were holding batons and muskets, looking ready for a big fight.

Huang Neng, who was in invisible state, passed through the woods silently. After observing the specific situation of the person who came, he was shocked. He hurried back to report to Wang Zhifan, but suddenly found that Wang Zhifan appeared in front and stopped thirty priests and police officers alone in the woods.

"Everyone, you suddenly came here, is there something urgent?"

Wang Zhifan was seen smiling in the woods, with a powerful aura emanating from his body, forcing the crowd to stop.

The bearded priest, one of the leaders, saw him and his eyes lit up. He turned and nodded to the middle-aged police officer who was smoking beside him. After being identified, the middle-aged police officer immediately raised his left hand and stretched out two fingers to put out the burning cigarette butt at the corner of his mouth and threw it to the ground. He said sternly to Wang Zhifan who was blocking the road in front:
"Are you the criminal who has killed a large number of civilians recently? Don't even think about resisting! Come back to the police station and confess all your crimes! The law will punish you accordingly! Mark, Henry, tie him up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, without giving Wang Zhifan any chance to explain, police officers holding batons and ropes rushed towards Wang Zhifan. At the same time, other police officers spread out to form a circle and pointed their guns at Wang Zhifan.

Wang Zhifan had to say that he was a little surprised at this moment. He did not expect that the social forces with little presence in this copy world would cause trouble for him. He obviously did not do anything out of line. He only targeted cultists and never harmed civilians.

But when he saw the familiar bearded priest next to the middle-aged police officer, he quickly understood something and had some guesses in his mind.

"Two days ago, it was this guy who recommended me to go to the lake to find Dagon's follower Rhodes, and I had already noticed that there was something wrong with his aura. Now that I have experience with Rhodes, I can see that this priest is most likely also a follower of Dagon, and at a higher level than Rhodes. I'm afraid he found out that I killed Rhodes, so he deliberately gathered social forces to find an opportunity to take revenge."

After figuring out the ins and outs of what was happening, Wang Zhifan activated the power of time, suppressing everyone present and instantly stopping the fast-moving bodies of the two police officers who were rushing towards him.

Wang Zhifan actually seldom uses the power of time stop, because it consumes a lot of energy and most of his opponents are not worthy of using such means. However, after his recent breakthrough in his martial arts realm, he can be a little more extravagant.

He then walked towards the priest while the surrounding area was in a state of time suspension, and activated the insight ability of the Thinker's Necklace on him.

As usual, the priest could not withstand the crushing of Wang Zhifan's ridiculously high spiritual attributes and was defeated in an instant, with all his thoughts exposed in Wang Zhifan's consciousness.

"Dagon's high-level followers... can live away from water for a long time and possess some of the power granted by Dagon... The goal is to gradually transform the Holy Mother Church into his own power, while cultivating more potential Dagon followers... Rhodes is one of his kind that he values ​​more, because Rhodes was once favored by Dagon, but suddenly disappeared the day before yesterday... After praying to Dagon for help to find out the truth, he seized the opportunity to retaliate against the culprit..."

After obtaining the information he wanted extremely quickly, Wang Zhifan looked at the bearded priest who was in a state of time stop, and suddenly felt that his luck had exploded.

"I was a little worried that the Dagon altar I built might not be attractive enough and might fail when summoned, but you just happened to send yourself here. My plan must have succeeded now."

Without any hesitation, Wang Zhifan then used his own power to freeze the bearded priest who was stopped in time into an ice stick, and then transferred him to a temporarily built different space and sealed him up. He used similar methods to deal with other people around, including police officers, police officers and priests, freezing them into coma, and then transferred them to an uninhabited corner of a distant town, so that they could not disturb him for at least a few days.

The reason why Wang Zhifan did not kill these people was that he confirmed that they were all part of the normal society, and they came here to cause trouble for him because they were bewitched by someone. There was no need for him to kill innocent people.

But for Huang Neng, a witness who was nearby, what he saw was too weird. He was almost in a trance when he found that all the enemies had disappeared. Only Wang Zhifan was left, turning back towards the small lake.

"Brother Wang, where are those people? How come they are all gone in the blink of an eye?"

Feeling very puzzled and even vaguely terrified, Huang Neng couldn't help but ask Wang Zhifan questions and called him "Brother Wang".

You know, he is the player with a higher level in this dungeon, and theoretically he is the one who leads Wang Zhifan to play the dungeon.

But after a few days of experience, he has realized that Wang Zhifan's mysterious power is beyond his imagination. He cannot be regarded as a so-called low-level player at all. He is a truly rich and powerful player.

He could even give away an excellent-grade dagger with great attributes without blinking an eye, so Huang Neng was willing to be called Brother Wang.

"I have dealt with them all. Now I am going to continue preparing for the ancient god summoning ceremony. By the way, if the ancient god really descends, it may be very dangerous. Aren't you going to stay out of the spotlight?"

Wang Zhifan answered Huang Neng's question lightly and then asked Huang Neng a question, which could be regarded as a kind reminder.

Huang Neng immediately shook his head and replied in a firm tone:
"Brother Wang, if I wanted to hide, I would have run away long ago! The reason I stayed until now is that I was prepared to accompany you to the end! I, Huang Neng, am indeed afraid of death, but sometimes I have to sacrifice my life to accompany a gentleman!"

Huang Neng's words seemed irrational, but actually had a deeper meaning. He stayed deliberately, or was gambling.

He hoped to leave a better impression on Wang Zhifan, rather than running away when encountering difficulties and leaving the danger to his teammates. If he did that, he would definitely lose an unprecedentedly generous golden thigh.

Wang Zhifan couldn't help but feel a little amused when he felt this. He actually didn't care whether Huang Neng ran away or not. Anyway, he had already played a role by teaming up with him. As long as Huang Neng didn't cause any extra trouble in the copy, it didn't matter to him.

Therefore, Wang Zhifan then assigned Huang Neng a task so that he could stay away from the dangerous area safely.

"Brother Huang, it is not wise to not hide when you know there is danger. How about this, after the altar is set up, before we start to communicate with the ancient gods, you escort my four NPC students back to the town, and then I will officially start..."

This arrangement was not only made by Wang Zhifan considering the safety of others, but also to facilitate his final control. He was planning to make good use of the guy who had just been delivered to his door, and it would not be appropriate to have other people present in that situation.

So the subsequent events proceeded according to Wang Zhifan's plan. The four NPC students, who were unaware that some social people had just come to cause trouble, worked hard to complete the details of the altar needed to summon Dagon. After Wang Zhifan confirmed the completion by comparing the intelligence, he asked Huang Neng to lead the four students to leave first, and he would carry out the most critical and most dangerous ancient god summoning ceremony.

When he tried to summon the ancient god Melkion yesterday, he had students help him pray but failed. But this time, he dared to go alone, not only because he knew that Dagon would be more willing to respond to the summons, but also because he had a special bargaining chip in his hand, that is, a priest who is essentially a high-level follower of Dagon.
