There was a crisp sound of stone breaking, mixed with the successive impacts, but it was so clear and audible, so breathtaking.

"what!"

A burst of tearing pain no less than when he returned to the space suddenly emerged from his body, and he discovered in horror that the restraint of the temple domain on him disappeared in this instant.

This is a clear feeling, like being in a vacuum. At this moment, he can only feel endless emptiness and relaxation.However, this is tantamount to poison to the illusion at this time.

"Not good, Revenant!"

Quickly exerting his mental power, the mental power that Kong Huan erupted in this moment of desperation was actually close to the usual level, and it also instantly enveloped the dead souls beside him.

And just before the last flying dinosaur that was still alive was about to hit the altar, it was held back by three priests, and then priest No. 4 swooped down with his fist raised, smashing the last flying enemy in the air .

Blood filled the ground and air of the temple, and a hidden crack appeared on the altar uncontrollably.

In the end, the flying dinosaurs gave up all their defenses and slammed into the altar like crazy. Only four of them hit the altar accurately. road cracks.

It succeeded, but it also died.

"No!"

Amid the emptiness and the terrified expressions of the priests, the groups of consciousness floating in the temple changed from large to small in an instant at a speed beyond the illusory imagination, and finally disappeared into the air.

"Impossible. This speed cannot be compared with the previously measured dissipation speed. Why?"

Landing on the ground in doubt, Chu Jie also felt a cordial and powerful call at this moment, but she has always stuck to the belief she had just formed.

And it was this ray of belief that solidified her consciousness like a core, making her almost stand still under such a powerful attraction.

When Chu Jie recalled the spiritual power protection that Kong Huan said, she quickly transformed herself. It looked much less, but more "spiritual power" wrapped around her body.

As a result, that summoning disappeared without a trace, and could no longer have any effect on her.

But the illusion at this time is full of crisis.

Because in order to envelop the souls of the dead beside him and the souls of the two priests who fell not far away, Kong Huan had much less mental power to protect himself.

"come back."

The whisper in the ear is gentle but with a little blame, making Kong Huan fall into boundless self-blame and depression.

The huge suction force continuously weakened Kong Huan's fragile consciousness, but he himself hadn't woken up yet.

On the other hand, when the altar was shattered, the most intuitive feeling of the Lingxue line of defense was that ordinary quack apes suddenly couldn't see the souls of their comrades, but they didn't pay much attention because they didn't know what it was thing.

But the flying wing quack apes are different.

"No, hurry up and protect the souls of the dead!"

After eliminating the danger in the air, the two priests are cooperating with their teammates to clean up the remaining dinosaurs on the ground.

A priest noticed something strange beside him, he quickly rushed to a dead soul, concentrated all his mental power on it according to the method of practice, and called another priest at the same time.

But the souls of the dead disappeared too quickly, and there were only two priests who had learned the protection of the souls of the dead. The other flying-wing quack apes had only a half-knowledge of the expansion of spiritual power and did nothing.

Swinging the knife and chopping off the head of the last dinosaur, the spirit talisman looked at the two motionless priests suspiciously.In the entire battlefield, there were only two groups of dead souls beside them, and the others had dissipated.

And from the sudden disappearance of those clumps of dead souls floating in the air, he seemed to be aware of what happened.

————————Clean the dividing line in the battlefield———————

"Oneiroi, the statistics of our casualties in this battle have been calculated."

Lingxue looked at Kong Huan, the actual leader of the Gashan tribe, and at Chu Jie floating behind Kong Huan, flipping through the animal skin book in her hand.With a soft sigh, she recalled the statistical data, and her body trembled a little. The loss in this battle was too great.

"Oh."

Sitting on the shattered altar, Kong Huan was only about one meter high, staring blankly at the starry night sky, and did not respond to Lingxue's report.

"Oneiroi!" Lingxue, who was agitated for ignoring the illusion, was also a little annoyed, and her tone became serious.

"enough!"

Unexpectedly, Kong Huan's reaction was even more serious. A roar frightened all the members in the ruins of the temple, including Chu Jie whose consciousness concentration had reached the Youshen level, several Xiangyi quack apes, and more than 20 dead souls.

"Don't call me Dream God anymore, Chu Jie is right, I am not a god at all!"

Stretching out his hand to caress the broken marks on the altar, the illusory consciousness was in a trance for a while, shaking weakly like a candle in the wind, and no one knew whether it would be extinguished in the next moment.

"Meng... Boss, I..." Chu Jie looked at the emptiness on the altar with some worry, wondering if what she said was wrong, maybe I said it too seriously before, but didn't Dream God didn't mind it before.

Waving his hand stopped Chu Jie's words, Kong Huan sat quietly for a while, then took a deep breath, then shook his head and said, "Don't care about your business, Chu Jie."

"If it weren't for your words, I might still be trapped in fantasy, complacently enjoying the so-called status of God."

"Oneiroi, what about the report?" Seeing that Kong Huan's spirit seemed to have recovered a bit, Lingxue asked tentatively.

"It's nothing, let's continue." Smiling at Lingxue, Kong Huan straightened up, looked around the so-called temple, and shook his head mockingly, "It seems that I have been too comfortable recently, and I can't sleep like this."

From the surface, it is not obvious that there is anything decadent about Kong Huan, but Lingxue felt a little heartbroken by Kong Huan's disillusioned expression a few minutes ago. After silently wishing in her heart that there would be nothing wrong with Kong Huan, she opened the skin in her hand again. Book.

The data in a few sentences spread to the ears of all the members present like piercing thunder, even if it described how beautiful its voice was.

"The reason for this beast tide attack is unknown, and the number of enemies is still being counted. In the end, there were four battlefields in total: the entrance of the cave in the south, the gentle slope in the northwest, the pottery kilns in the north, and the central temple."

Mobilizing the reserve water in the water bag to moisten her dry throat, Lingxue continued reading with a silent sigh.

"So far, according to statistics, the pottery kiln group in the north has suffered the least casualties. The quack ape died three times and suffered twelve minor injuries. All minor injuries have been treated by priests, so it's not a big problem... "

The words "until now" caused a sense of powerlessness in the calm-faced Kong Huan, because some of them died of serious injuries after returning to the tribe because they could not be treated.

However, the so-called blessing and misfortune are dependent on each other, and it is precisely because they died later that these companions who died after returning to the tribe can now be protected by the priests with their spiritual power, and fortunately escaped the crisis of the rapid dissipation of the dead souls after the altar was broken. But as far as the whole tribe is concerned, there are only four such examples.

As for the battle of the pottery kiln group in the north, there were still gains and losses.

The reason for saying "get" is that the pottery kiln group in the north is the weakest in strength, but because of the weakest strength, except for the leader Chu Yi, he cannot stop the air units without air combat capabilities.

Therefore, only because of the side facing the enemy on the ground, with the cooperation of the "pseudo-moat" function of the pottery kiln group, and Chu Yi's quick-witted Tyrannosaurus Rex blocking the way, the ground defense victory was obtained with the smallest casualties.

However, ape birth is a tragedy ╮(╯▽╰)╭

It was these unimpeded flying dinosaurs who first smashed the top of the mountain and then destroyed the altars of the temple, which directly caused the loss of a large area of ​​dead souls. After research and discussion, it was these altars that these dinosaurs targeted.

Therefore, the "loss" seems to exceed the "gain", because the dinosaurs' goal was achieved and they won.And the enemy's victory is our defeat.

So it can be said that it was the "loss" of the air defense line of the Taoyao group in the north that led to the failure of the entire ultimate goal.

But Kong Huan can't blame Chu Yi, because no one knows that these dinosaurs are targeting altars, so at the beginning, all tribe members, from Kong Huan down to young children, took protecting the lives of members, especially the lives of young and young members, as the top priority , The inconsistency of the attack and defense targets directly led to the differences in the arrangements of the enemy and the enemy.

Moreover, Chu Yi's air strength is really not on the table. Could it be that Chu Yi is in the air and blocks all flying dinosaurs?joke.

At this moment, Lingxue's report continues...

"At the gentle slope defense line in the northwest, which ranks second in casualties, seven quack apes died and 31 were slightly injured. Among them, a young quack ape was attacked and killed by a flying dinosaur while rescuing the wounded. As for the flying wing quack ape, three apes lost their strength, All others suffered minor injuries, and none died."

Speaking of this, Ling Xueben's heavy heart recovered a little bit, at least the defense line he led was not bad, and there were no too many casualties.

Thinking of this, she involuntarily aimed at the talisman sitting against the wall of the temple.

This time it was able to fight like this, thanks to the spirit talisman, it was precisely because he quickly killed four four-winged pterosaurs, so that the Xiangyi quack apes could quickly eliminate the threat in the air, and then cooperate with the ground units to clean up the land creatures.

With the strength of the flying-wing quack ape, with the cooperation of the quack apes on the ground, coupled with its own high maneuverability, it is almost as powerful as spawning monsters to clean up these land animals.

Of course, certain powerful land units are the primary targets of the Xiangyi Quackapes. In order to eliminate a black hand-level flash scale horned dragon, the Xiangyi Quackapes don't care about besieging them together. Xiangyi Quackape's strength was divided into pieces.

"Lingxue! Lingxue, continue."

"Ah, I'm sorry." Lingxue looked at her companions around apologetically. Lingxue shook her tail in embarrassment, and once again focused her gaze on the leather book in her hand. The beautiful voice of the fourth-level voice flowed in the temple again. , but no one appreciates it.

"The defense line at the mouth of the southern karst cave suffered the most casualties. Because of the flat terrain and unobstructed stone roads, the defense there is very difficult. So far, the number of deaths in this line of defense has reached [-], and the rest are all minor injuries (that is, Said that those who were seriously injured have all died), and the number of deaths of Xiangyi Quackape..."

Lingxue glanced at Chu Jie who was floating behind Kong Huan, who seemed to be a little out of control at the moment, paused and continued: "It's one, the rest are all in a coma except for the two priests and Chu Qin, and the two priests were slightly injured. "

"Finally... it's about the temple."

All the quack apes were visibly shocked, because they were still sitting or fighting inside the temple at this time, and because after this battle, all except the priest and a few important members were resting exhaustedly, so, Haven't had time to clear the battlefield around the temple yet.

That is to say, all the participants are experiencing the tragedy of the temple battlefield personally at this moment, which is incomparable to the other three simple animal battle battlefields.

"The battlefield of the temple is basically full of flying dinosaurs. The results of the statistics: Quack ape died five times, including an old ape and four young apes, and five young children and a young ape (who fell into a coma on the spot and died one after another. Fortunately, he was not hit in the attack) survived, but the death toll of the flying wing quack ape reached 'three', in addition, the aura priest and another priest were in a coma, and the rest were all slightly injured."

Now it can be said that the battlefield of the temple is the core battlefield, and the achievements of the five young quack apes are indelible, because they blocked the flying dinosaurs at the gate of the temple and bought time for Lingyun to arrive.

Afterwards, all those who joined the battle on the battlefield of the temple were Xiangyi Quackapes, and even Chu Jie, who had a God-level consciousness of Yayou.With such high-end combat power, they can fight even against epic creatures, but it is a pity that they are too tired. The exhaustion caused by successive battles has greatly reduced their combat power, and the unknown target of the enemy's attack is even more difficult. main reason for failure.

Looking at the last paragraph of statistics, Lingxue's eyes still couldn't help but shed tears. Many of these figures were her friends, companions, and all of them were her subordinates in name, but now, most of them even lost their souls. None remained, including two members of his own squad.

Thinking of this, Lingxue looked painfully at the broken altar under Kong Huan's feet. It wasn't until just now that she and many Xiangyi Quackapes learned from Kong Huan that the function of this altar was to protect the dead.

Oneiroi, why didn't you tell us earlier?That way you can arrange more guards.

Shaking her head, Lingxue read out the last paragraph mechanically.

"In the final statistics, so far in this battle, the number of quack apes has lost 34, including 28 adult apes, one old ape, five young apes, and three captain-level quack apes. The loss of the flying wing quack ape is four, and another Eight Monkeys are in a coma."

The newly established Gashan tribe only has more than 200 members in total, and nearly half of the adult apes were lost in this battle. Thinking of this, Lingxue couldn't help but lament.

"No, I am the leader, the leader who wants to lead everyone forward together!"

Shaking her dizzy head, and propped up her weak body, Lingxue looked at the same sighing Void on the altar.But it was not just the two apes. All the participants were either silent or sighed, mourning the death of these companions who lived together day and night.

A heavy breath gradually permeated.

"Oneiroi!" Qingyue's voice suddenly woke up all the apes.

Looking up at Lingxue, Kong Huan shook his head, and then looked at all the apes: "Everyone, don't call me Dream God anymore, I don't deserve it. Hmm...just call me 'Kong Huan'."

Although aware of Kong Huan's efforts all the time, the members with a heavy heart at this time obviously don't care about this change of name, so they didn't refute it.

So, they acquiesced to the empty proposal.

"It seems that what I have done is really not enough," Seeing the bland reactions of all the members, Kong Huan was speechless.

After Kong Huan finished speaking, Lingxue finally began to put forward her own ideas.

"Dream... Empty Fantasy, regarding the current situation, I hope Oneiroi will bring the dead souls back to your world."

"I'm afraid it won't work. Now that I don't have a body, I haven't found a way to bring back the dead soul without relying on my body. So..."

Now that he is no longer bound by the so-called all-knowing and omnipotent "God", he can easily confess his limitations to Lingxue and the others: "Sorry, I disappointed you."

The emptiness of saying this apology bitterly has already regarded them as equal existences at this moment, especially seeing Chu Jie jumping from the Yinhun level to the Youshen level in half a day, and his mental power has mutated to a ratio After the unknown existence with stronger spiritual power, he has already identified with the members of these species in terms of strength.

Shaking their heads, all the members looked at Kong Huan with emotion, and refused to accept his apology, "You have done a good job, Kong Huan, without you, we might still be like the animals that attacked us today, fighting for Food is exhausting and running around, I don’t know the taste of life, where are these comfortable...well, those comfortable houses.”

After finishing speaking, she shifted her gaze from the ruins of the temple to the tribe, and then retracted Lingxue with an embarrassed smile.

"Well, it's okay, the temple is broken and repaired."

"This is also what I want to say, Void. Since the souls of the dead cannot be retrieved for the time being, I suggest that the primary purpose now is to build an altar. Although we don't know why those animals attack the altar, the role of the altar to protect the souls of the dead is very important. I think as long as Arrange the guards, and this problem should not happen again."

The desires of intelligent creatures are endless. When they saw Chu Jie, who was similar to him before, suddenly raised to a level similar to Oneiroi, everyone began to hope that their death would no longer be the end.

Therefore, once the proposal for the construction of the altar was put forward, all members nodded in confirmation.

And more than 20 souls of the quack ape nodded eagerly, and at the same time turned their expectant eyes to Kong Huan and Chu Jie, who was the only one who didn't need the protection of other apes.

Now they are afraid to even act, for fear that they will accidentally break away from the protection of Void and the spiritual power of the priests, and they will be wiped out.

"Well, since everyone agrees, let's do it this way." Kong Huan was very pleased with Lingxue's initiative.After this battle, the ones that still exist (both alive and dead) have further developed. From this point of view, it is not a good thing.

"There are two sides to things, people really love and hate." Sighing like an old man, Kong Huan looked at everyone and added: "The construction of the altar can be completed in one day, but the role of protecting the dead requires sacrifices and peacetime prayers." It can only appear, and it is already dark, so at dawn tomorrow, everyone will collect the corpses of the warriors who died in the tribe, and then put them on the square, waiting for the arrangement after the sacrifice."

"Then collect the animal carcasses that can be used to make bacon, and temporarily store them in nursing homes and priests' huts if the warehouse is not enough. It happens that the Lingyu team is intact this time, so they are still in charge of roasting the bacon."

"As for the corpses of the enemies that have turned into mud, they can't stay there. Find a place on the gentle slope, throw these useless corpses there, and then hand them over to scavengers to deal with."

"But about the sacrifice..."

Having said this, Kong Huan stopped.This made the group of members who kept nodding their heads in agreement immediately turn their doubtful eyes to Kong Huan, and then followed Kong Huan's gaze to Chu Jie behind Kong Huan.

"Me, this?" Chu Jie looked at Kong Huan in a panic, and Chu Jie, who is usually carefree, blushed a little under everyone's gaze: "Well, Oneiroi, although Priest Lingyun is unconscious, my priesthood is not good enough. Well, I can't preside over the sacrifice."

It’s more than bad, you didn’t listen carefully when you went to the sacrifice process, ╮(╯▽╰)╭

"Do you think I want you to preside over the sacrifice? Or are you enlightened to be a priest?"

The illusory and playful eyes made Chu Jie panic even more.

"There are still so many temple sacrifices... Hey! Don't you want me to sacrifice? Priests don't do it, trouble."

"Um, of course I didn't ask you to preside over the sacrificial ceremony," Kong Huan's answer made Chu Jie slightly relieved.She knew very well that although she was powerful (thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at her body, it was called the ghost body by Kong Huan, which was at the same level as Kong Huan), but she had never been able to bring up the sacrificial courses that had nothing to do with the improvement of strength. interested, incomprehensible.

If she were to preside over the sacrifice, it would be easier for her to challenge epic creatures. With her current strength, some epic creatures with weaker mental power might not really be Chu Jie's opponents.

But soon, Chu Jie panicked again under the illusory and cunning expression, and all the priests around sighed: "As expected, the bad habits of Priest Aura are all learned from Oneiroi."

"I didn't ask you to preside over the sacrifice. There are so many temple priests, even if you re-teach one, it won't be your turn, but..."

"I want you to be the target of tribal sacrifices."

"Ok?"

All members tilted their heads in confusion, the target?What the hell?

Hello!Cute girls can do this action, but you guys are too scary to do this action!

Discussing the expressions of the surrounding apes in his heart, Kong Huan could only lament that his words were too profound, and it seemed that the wisdom of the apes could not comprehend them for the time being.

No, we have to understand them.

"That, I mean, Chu Jie, from now on, you are the patron saint of the Gashan tribe, a god! Do you know? You are the object of worship, just like they used to sacrifice to the Dream God. Now, they sacrifice It’s you, the patron saint of Mount Ga, Chu Jie, God Chu Jie.”

"But now that everyone is tired, let's go to rest first, and of course the priests too. As for these dead souls, just leave them to me and Chu Jie for protection. Chu Jie and I will also pay attention to the situation around Gaga Mountain, so you Take it easy."

Ignoring the group of apes who finally understood what Kong Huan meant, were shocked, and then looked forward to further explanation in amazement, Kong Huan sat directly on the broken altar in the ruins of the temple and issued the order to expel the guests.

The heavy rain for several days in a row, and the animal swarm after that, made the living apes not get a good night's sleep.

Seeing that Kong Huan closed his eyes and ignored all the questions, the apes could only look at the old god Kong Huan and the panicked Chu Jie with complicated eyes, and left the temple one after another to return to their respective houses.

"Dream... Void," Lingxue with a hesitant expression stopped at the door, looked back at Void with closed eyes, sitting quietly on the altar as if asleep.

Lingxue opened her mouth to say a word, then turned around and returned to her leader's house.

This time, two quack apes in her leading team also died, which made the already sparse hut even more empty and deserted under the light of the fireplace, and made Lingxue feel a little bit of regret for making the house so wide. .

Inside the ruins of the temple, Kong Huan was immersed in still thinking, his slightly opened eyes looked at the direction Lingxue left, his expression relaxed, the corners of his mouth finally turned up, and a satisfied smile suddenly appeared on his face, making Chu Jie's eyes lit up.

"You've worked hard too, Lingxue, and everyone."
