This time I chose Paladin.

Chapter 110 Let this mind
Later, during the casual chat between Chen Yan and Mei Yan, Nie Weiyang learned something.

Today, the river is divided into nine sections, each guarded by a fully formed aquatic BOSS. They generally do not actively attack the surrounding humans, but as long as they exist, some "minor situations" will occur in the river from time to time, and regular offerings must be made to them in order to maintain stability.

There are also some people with extraordinary talents who can sign a contract with the River God and exercise his power to calm the waves and send boats across the river.

Of course, in Chen Yan's mouth, that wasn't some BOSS, but...

"The water god of the great river - Tianli." Chen Yan looked solemn.

"What kind of god is yours? Dukong Wanxiang is the real god." Mei Yan sneered.

"Your gods are foreign, but we are local gods. We are different." Chen Yan shook his finger. "These leader-level guardians may seem unintelligent, but they actually act purely and in accordance with the laws of nature. Lord Tianli controls the river's veins, yet he doesn't attack us. He even protected us during the ascending blood moon, and all he asked for was to throw a few people in as blood food. If he's not a god, then what is he?"

Mei Yan thought about it and was actually convinced by him.

She nodded in agreement: "That's right."

Chen Yan smiled happily, Mei Yan also smiled, and the spirits stopped howling.

Nie Weiyang above their heads: "..."

When he returns, he must tell everyone to add materialistic thinking and anti-cult ideas to the post-apocalyptic education system... He must.

Aren't those demons from the outside world, or the carp bosses that live in the river? The former devours human souls, the latter eats humans. If you don't give it food, it will bring the river waves ashore to find food.

Worship God?

Twenty years after the end of the world, Nie Weiyang knew very well that in the new world, there were no gods worth worshipping!
The only person humans should worship is humans themselves!

……

Forget it, it’s hard to explain to these superstitious people.

Nie Weiyang waited silently, waiting for He Li to appear.

The only time he had seen He Li in his previous life was when he met with the city's top brass. Back then, He Li was dressed in rough clothing, his features hidden. He wore a water dragon Nuo mask, horns sprouting from his head, his limbs transformed into water dragons, and a long dragon tail trailing behind him. According to Nie Weiyang and others' observations at the time, this man seemed to have merged with something, becoming so unlike a human.

Nie Weiyang had seen people whose alien bloodline was so high that their bodies were deformed.

However, when dragons and snakes transform, even if they have tails, scales grow from the waist down, and the legs become tails. Because the human torso and head are the most important parts, they will transform later.

Nie Weiyang narrowed his eyes. He wanted to see what He Li was like now, to see what was going on...

Since he could seize the power of the boss, He Li could naturally merge with the boss. Although the river god of this water vein is now a carp, the four words "carp leaping over the dragon gate" are probably heard by every Chinese person.

At this moment, the two people's conversation is still going on.

"Habaek rarely attacks, which makes him a lot like 'Second Administrator,'" Mei Yan muttered. "But as long as Habaek exists, the river will be disturbed... What about Second Administrator?"

Chen Yan grinned: "Who knows, I've never met the second administrator.

"Come to think of it, you guys who have returned to the sect are everywhere. Has anyone seen the second administrator?"

"I don't know. I don't care about these things." Mei Yan said.

She was still daydreaming for a moment: "According to the records, Administrator No. 2 is really strong... If we can reach a cooperation..."

Chen Yan, having already enjoyed the perks of 'cooperating' with the BOSS, also began to daydream: "I just wonder where the second administrator is." Mei Yan nodded in agreement: "Yeah..."

...above your heads.

Nie Weiyang had an expressionless face. He stretched out his hand, picked up a fallen leaf from mid-air, and threw it aside.

Given their personalities, if fallen leaves landed on their heads, they would probably look up. If that happened, Nie Weiyang would have no choice but to kill them in advance.

Killing cannot solve everything. Choosing who to kill, how to kill, and when and where to kill are more important things.

Soon, someone came.

Birds flew across the sky at dusk, and wild animals were returning to their nests. But there was a noise in the woods, as if a group of people were approaching. Then a rough, strong hand reached out, parted a branch, and a man and his group emerged.

He was a tall, muscular man, about 1.8 meters tall, his bronzed upper body bare. His hands and forearms were painted with strange crimson patterns. He wore a coat tied around his waist and a necklace around his neck. The necklace was clearly a piece of equipment, with beads of various colors strung together, and four teeth adorning the front and back. The bottom tooth had been hollowed out, forming a translucent bottle filled with some kind of liquid that emitted a faint, shimmering light.

As night falls, the sounds in the forest gradually fade away.

The man stretched out a hand toward Mei Yan's spirit and smiled confidently and heroically.

"Hello, Returning Envoy, I'm He Li," he said. "The last time you came, I was busy... By the way, where are they?"

The "they" He Li was referring to were naturally the other people who returned to the sect and went to City C3510.

Mei Yan was silent for a moment: "When are we going to cross the river?"

She didn't want to answer the question at all, her voice became low, and it was obvious that her mood suddenly became very bad.

He Li also realized that something was wrong. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. He obviously didn't feel sorry and was even a little happy.

This person was assertive, self-confident, and lacked empathy. He was accustomed to absorbing the negative emotions of others as food for his own consumption. Nie Weiyang had always known this, but upon seeing such a poor yet pretentious person, he couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, no one here has discovered him, but he has a premonition: as long as he is near the river near He Li, he will definitely be discovered. And this feeling comes from...

Nie Weiyang's gaze swept down and landed on He Li's necklace.

The fangs of the necklace dangled, shimmering softly.

'He Bo'.

A flash of enlightenment came into Nie Weiyang's mind.

'Exercising He Bo's authority' is achieved through equipment and props - this necklace is probably a rare item, and it is a rare item like the 'Mind Prism Fragment', which only he can use to meet his needs.

He wore the necklace openly, even stripping off his shirt to showcase it and his own strength. This was a form of boasting, a form of attraction, a form of selection. He was flaunting his strength and reliance, attracting those who could accept his style, and selecting those who were willing to build a good relationship with him but would not have any thoughts about the necklace... He Li's confidence did not come from this, but it did give him the capital for it.

but……

Nie Weiyang's eyes swept around He Li. There were about 20 to 30 people in the circle, including men, women, young and old. At least five of them were looking at the necklace from time to time.

He Li seemed to be aware of this matter, but he pretended to be unaware and led his men towards the river.

——In this settlement, the hearts of the people are probably in turmoil, just like the yellow waves.
