Chapter 246 Zhuma Temple, Being with God, Coercing Cooperation
The destination for the next Holy Spring Day in Oasis Town happens to be located at a fork in the road on Oasis Avenue.

Walking from the south, you can enter the Zhuma Temple, which is also the place where the Lord of the Holy Spring, who is worshipped by the Holy Spring Sect, sleeps forever.

Therefore, every year, many large and small settlements under the church pass by here and go specifically to pay homage to and worship the temple where the Lord is.

Especially the original sect that follows the "Holy Spring Sutra", like the bishop Zhang Hui of Oasis Town, after circling the planet every wasteland year, when they arrive here, they will definitely visit the Zhuma Temple.

As the resting place of the Lord of the Holy Spring, there are naturally guards stationed here.

They were called the Knights Templar.

They are the earliest and most systematic armed guard force in the church.

Unlike the Knights Templar founded by the Immortal Saint, the Knights Templar only obey a servant saint in the temple and the oracle of the Lord.

Like other third-level bishops, he refused to obey the orders of even the third-level late-stage saints.

And most importantly, the Temple Knights cannot leave the Zhuma Temple without permission. At the same time, after passing the temple test, the Temple Knights can stay in the temple forever and guard the Lord of the Holy Spring forever.

In other words, the lives in the temple have been surrounded and illuminated by the Lord for a long time. After absorbing a large amount of divine power radiation, they have become God's followers.

Within the temple and its coverage area, one can almost achieve immortality, share the honor and disgrace with the Lord of the Holy Spring, and become a part of this temple.

This is the same principle as in the Fallen Wolf Valley, where Lang Ao has been guarding the entrance to the ruins and protecting the Wolf King's Tomb.

The latter also relies on absorbing the third-level body of the Wolf King and emitting a steady stream of radiation energy to survive for thousands of years.

Although the lifespan of some evolved wild beasts, especially the second-order clan leader-level giant beasts, possesses an immortal second-order body, as long as there are always similar species around to form a large clan to pass on its bloodline genes...

Lifespan can last for thousands of years, which is far longer than the thousand years of human life.

But there are very few people like Lang Ao who can live for thousands of years.

If it had not relied on guarding the Wolf King's Tomb and absorbing the remaining power of Wolf King Ao's corpse, it would have died at the end of its life thousands of years ago.

And this is just the additional gain that can be obtained from the corpse of a third-stage late-stage king beast.

Like the Lord of the Holy Spring who sleeps in the Zhuma Temple, as an omnipotent god above the third level, the divine power he releases can almost bring about immortality.

There are many second-level priests and temple knights in the temple today who have lived for thousands of years. The oldest second-level monk is estimated to be close to seven thousand years old.

This is actually a great honor.

Only a very small number of powerful and extremely devout believers can be recognized by the Lord and enjoy such treatment.

Many high priests of the late second stage, or great knights of the Templar, would come to the temple to try their luck when their lives came to an end.

They devote themselves to studying for several years or even decades, just to obtain God's blessing, to become a servant or knight in the temple, and to be with God forever.

This time, Bishop Zhang Hui of Oasis Town originally planned to go south to the Zhuma Temple area at the fork in the road after the Holy Spring.

With the help of the Knights Templar, we can resolve the hidden dangers posed by the Li family and other rebels, and then pass the oasis to Father Suan, or return it to the diocese.

I stayed in the temple to see if I could contribute my last bit of strength to the Lord.

It's a pity that after many twists and turns, the situation has developed into what it is now. He can only use his remaining life to replace the biggest threat, the head of the Li family.

Then he passed on his mantle to Father Suan.

At this moment, several powerful auras came from the small south-facing entrance to the Zhuma Temple.

Those are the Knights Templar stationed at the edge of the area covered by the Lord's divine power.

This is also the limit of their activities.

Once you leave the Lord's blessing and inspiration, you will be burned by the curse of the scorching sun and lose a large number of holy spring cells.

The maximum coverage of the divine power is from the resting place of the Lord of the Holy Spring to the Zhuma Temple, which is enough to cover an area within a radius of one kilometer.

That is, a circle with a radius of one hundred kilometers.

Nearly 31,400 square kilometers, equivalent to one-third the size of a province or state.

However, this is the state of the Lord of the Holy Spring when he is sleeping.

Equivalent to the minimum coverage during the dormant period.

The influence of a truly perfect god can spread thousands of miles away.

But even if it is just a dormant period, the influence range of the Zhuma Temple is not comparable to that of any third-level king.

The radiation emission impact limit of an ordinary third-stage early king is only a few hundred meters. The third-stage middle-stage king is better, about one kilometer.

At the late Heavenly King level, it can reach about ten kilometers, enough to cover more than three hundred square kilometers, equivalent to an ultra-small national territory, and can easily radiate to millions of people.

Multi-story buildings can even accommodate tens of millions of people.

For example, the large underground shelter built at the end of the Old Earth period.

The Taishan refuge complex led by Zong Shiyue, consisting of three large refuges connected in series, housed 15 million survivors who became Zong Shiyue's subjects.

Today, the Zhuma Temple is considered the largest settlement in the Holy Spring Sect.

And he is the only one who can pass through the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone without being affected.

This also means that Zhuma Temple is a fixed settlement that does not require migration.

But the conditions for staying are extremely harsh.

Not everyone can be recognized by the Lord and enter the temple to hibernate, avoiding direct invasion of the Fiery Sun Curse in the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone.

At this moment, when the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone is about to arrive, it is also the busiest and most tense period in the Zhuma Temple.

During this period, there were many remaining people who wanted to enter and seek refuge, and at the same time, there were also eliminated people in the temple who needed to be expelled.

If these people are allowed to stay, it will not only dilute the strength of the divine power, but may also attract stronger evil spirits to attack the temple.

Therefore, these redundant people need to be handed over to the temple's guards and the temple knights to expel them from the coverage area.

This is also the reason why many powerful forces are guarding the entrance to the South Avenue.

This aura is so powerful that its evolutionary strength is almost at the late second stage, or even the level of a great knight at the twenty-ninth level.

With the Lord's glorious light shining, divine power is amplified...

The Grand Knight of the Temple is powerful enough to unleash strength comparable to that of an early-stage third-order king.

Because of the Lord's blessing, they can continuously activate the power of the Holy Spring, which is equivalent to the effect of infinite charging, and can burst out with all their strength tirelessly.

At this moment, so many Temple Knights gathered at the entrance to the south fork in the road. In addition to the extra people who needed to be expelled every wasteland year...

The reason they were gathered together was that not far from the fork in the road, at the end of the mountain range on the northern plateau, behind a high slope, the Temple Knights sensed several second-level auras. Among them were late-stage second-level beings, and even twenty-nineth-level evolved life forms that were on par with them.

Moreover, the aura of these powerful beings at the upper limit of the second level is even stronger than theirs, which means that the other party is already qualified to impact the third stage of evolution.

Belongs to the top powerhouse in the second level.

And such existence would actually be in the restricted area of ​​​​the Fiery Sun. When it is about to arrive, they are gathering at the outermost edge of the Zhuma Temple. There is no doubt that we need to remain highly vigilant.

But what was happening behind the high slope at the end of the mountain range at this moment was not what the Knights Temple had thought, that was, it was not aimed at the Zhuma Temple.

The reason why this group of people released their aura was because the two sides almost had a shooting and a fight broke out.

One of the groups is the remnants of the Savior Army led by Bai Ye, the top second-rate force among the Wanderers.

Back then, when they were in the Taishan ruins, they relied on Lin Feng's firearms ability and used long-range firepower to suppress the offensive of the mutants. They successfully moved out several precision machine tools and bullet-making machines from the eighth floor of the underground shelter, and after saying goodbye to Lin Feng, they rushed all the way here.

And while the Oasis Town has not yet reached the fork in the road, they take a rest as a whole, and at the same time consume the source material and evolution agent in the team's inventory to quickly improve the team's overall strength in order to cope with the upcoming looting battle.

What is more important is to put the machine tools and manufacturing machines in hand into operation as soon as possible and speed up the production of weapons and equipment.

Arm the team with guns and ammunition.

Only in this way can they have the strength to fight against Oasis Town, accomplish the feat of taking advantage of the situation, and plunder most of the wildebeest breeding industry in Farm Village.

This completes the last piece of the puzzle needed for Bai Ye to advance to the third level and become the king.

Everything was going very smoothly.

A dozen or so level 19 evolvers in the team, who were in the late first stage, successfully gave birth to three second-stage beings after taking the remaining second-stage potions.

At the same time, Ma Li, the team's second-in-command, who originally had only the strength of the early second stage, was promoted to level 24 after taking the evolution agent, becoming a mid-second stage evolver.

This instantly greatly increased the strength of the Salvation Army.

It has a level 29 leader, a mid-level second-in-command, and three level 20 captains.

In addition, the logistical support personnel who were originally only in the middle stage of the first level were also rewarded and promoted to the late stage of the first level, expanding the strength of the combat team.

Lisa was naturally among them, and she successfully advanced to the late first stage. Although her evolution speed was not as fast as Lin Feng and his subordinates, it was already as fast as other ordinary evolvers or wanderers.

With Ma Li's efforts and hard work, the team's machine tools and manufacturing machines were successfully put into production, capable of producing twenty large-caliber rifles and thousands of bullets of different calibers per day.

In this way, after the team completes its evolution and transformation, the weapons in their hands are also updated, which can be regarded as a qualitative leap in combat effectiveness.

The Salvation Army at this moment has four second-level strongmen, more than forty late-stage first-level beings, and hundreds of first-level evolvers.

At the same time, they are equipped with a large number of thermal weapons, including heavy machine guns and other heavy weapons, which are enough to pose a fatal threat to the convoy.

If he encountered a pilgrim caravan heading to the holy city again, Bai Ye was confident that he could complete a thorough looting and take away all the spoils of the caravan.

Naturally, his confidence in robbing Oasis Town and seizing the wildebeest industry in Farm Village has increased greatly.

However, at this time of vitality and prosperity, the Salvation Army encountered an unexpected incident.

To put it more vividly, it should be called a crisis.

Because what Bai Ye and all the members of the Salvation Army didn't expect was...

A giant wasteland wolf, leading a pack of tens of thousands of wasteland wolves, appeared before our eyes.

And at 6:00 yesterday, just after dawn, they rushed straight towards them!

Then the dramatic scene happened.

The valley, originally chosen by the Salvation Army as an excellent ambush site, was now occupied by a swarm of steppe wolves that looked like a black and gray tide.

Countless evolved wasteland wolves, including hundreds of late-stage first-order leader-level wasteland wolves, led by four patriarch-level second-order giant wolves over ten meters in size, surrounded the Salvation Army in the heart of the valley.

In fact, if it was just an ordinary second-level giant wolf, Bai Ye, the leader of the Salvation Army, would not be afraid. After all, he is a twenty-nine-level evolver and has already mastered the power of the third level...

Even if you just throw a liquid hydrogen thermos bomb, you can blow the second-level evolved wild beast with ordinary defense into pieces.

But what Bai Ye didn't expect was that this time the wolf pack had gathered in the tens of thousands, and their leader was leading them...

It turned out that Lang Ao came in person.

You know, the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone is about to descend. Lang Ao left the Fallen Wolf Valley at this moment and did not enter the Wolf King Tomb to avoid the Fiery Sun Curse. He hibernated at the same time...

This means that it will have to travel at least 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers, and it will have to wait at least three years until it is completely out of the influence of the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone and has completely escaped the Taishan ruins before it can return to the Meteorite Wolf Valley.

The three years of separation and the need to eat during the raid will accelerate Lang Ao's aging.

Every time you leave, it is equivalent to entering the countdown of your own life.

Its lifespan originally far exceeded that of an ordinary second-tier desolate beast, not counting the time spent dormant in the underground shelter during the Old Earth era and the Wasteland Era...

Lang Ao has lived for at least five thousand years, long exceeding the maximum lifespan of a second-level wasteland wolf.

At this moment, every time Lang Ao leaves the Wolf King's Tomb and leads the wolf pack to plunder in the wilderness, it is an overdraft and loss of his own vitality.

So when Bai Ye, worried about the Savior Army's lack of strength, wanted to unite with the Steppe Wolf Clan to launch a surprise attack on the farm village in Oasis Town...

The other party rejected her directly.

It was only when Bai Ye used the promotion bottleneck of Lang Ao's descendants and Li Hao, the leader of the Li family in Nongzhuang Village, as bait that he persuaded the other party.

However, at that time, Lang Ao did not promise to participate in person, but instead asked his three second-level early giant wolf offspring to cooperate with the Savior Army.

At the same time, it was still at least a week away from reaching the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone.

Lang Ao can completely cooperate with the Savior Army to complete the looting of the farm village and then return to the Meteorite Wolf Valley.

At present, the Fiery Sun Forbidden Zone has long exceeded the scope of the Taishan ruins and is outside the Meteorite Wolf Valley.

Lang Ao's appearance here meant that he was going to use his remaining vitality to help his offspring complete their promotion to the middle stage of the second stage...

At this moment, the giant silver-grey wolf, which was 25 meters long and about 10 meters tall, raised its proud head, its blood-red pupils staring down at the human in white clothes in front of it:

"I've thought about what I agreed to cooperate with, and it will indeed be of great help to the wolf tribe."

"So right now, the Savior Army should fulfill their promise and cooperate with our wolf tribe to complete the purification of Oasis Town!"

"Clear all those weaklings who have no fighting power and are not worthy of living!"

Bai Ye frowned.

She never said she wanted to plunder the entire Oasis Town!
