The extraordinary journey begins with the Ouroboros Stele.

Chapter 111 Eight Sacrificial Sites (Twelfth Update)

Listening to Zhang Xuan's explanation, Lin Ye rubbed his fingers together.

"On the other hand?"

"On the other hand, I hope to get your help," Zhang Xuan said.

Lin Ye frowned slightly, glanced at Zhang Xuan, and then at Li Wei, who was still in a daze.

"Excuse my bluntness, but I'm afraid you are no match for the Nuo Snake Cult."

"Since you are the authorities, you should know how big the gap is between a divine servant and a magnitude earthquake."

"Even I can easily suppress you, let alone the divine servants. It probably won't take me more than a minute to kill you."

Even if you're wearing that kind of black armor.

Zhang Xuan did not refute, "I understand that, so there's no need to deal with the divine servants. Those kinds of enemies will be dealt with by people sent from above."

"We just don't have enough manpower, so we can only apply to send someone over after we confirm their whereabouts."

Lin Ye nodded upon hearing this, without rushing to answer whether he wanted to help the two.

"How did you find out about me?"

This is crucial; we must learn from this experience and avoid making the same mistake again.

"We were able to use the white crystal to search for any remaining demonic aura at the scene, and then we tracked down that aura and found you."

Lin Ye was somewhat disappointed. "Didn't you find any traces I left behind?"

Zhang Xuan was a little confused by Lin Ye's question. "That kind of thing is too professional. I don't understand it."

"But are you really not going to consider it? You could register your name with the Black and White Society."

"I won't bother you normally, and even if I do need to contact you, I'll share information, and it's up to you to decide whether or not to take action."

The Black and White Society has too few members; they are scattered across various provinces, not to mention the cities and districts within those provinces.

He and Li Wei were responsible for five or six nearby cities, and they were simply too busy to handle everything.

Therefore, the attitude towards wild demons like Lin Ye has always been to try to win them over as external personnel.

Besides, anyone who can eradicate a cult like the Nuo Snake Cult must be a good person!

The person in front of me is simply a bit more wicked, thick-skinned, and ruthless.

It has absolutely no flaws!

"What do you need me to do? What are the benefits?" Lin Ye asked.

Zhang Xuan nodded in approval. "Look! Look!"

Ask about responsibilities first, then ask about benefits; such a person is sure to be very responsible!

"We'll be investigating the Nuo Snake Cult soon, and we might need your help."

"Of course, if it involves divine servants, we will report it, so you don't need to take any risks."

"As for the benefits, firstly, as a Yin Demon, you will have a legitimate identity. Secondly, after this matter is over, I can give you a Tier 1 Yin Armor, the kind I wore before."

"Below the level of a Secret Warrior, even if one stands still and lets others hit them, the wearer will not be harmed in the slightest."

He paused, then looked at Lin Ye.

"You are an exceptionally strong one."

"Not only that, if you are willing to officially join the Black Society, you have a real chance to obtain the second-tier Yin Armor based on your strength."

""

"That level of Yin Armor, even if an ordinary person wore it, would give them power comparable to a divine servant."

Lin Ye paused for a few seconds after hearing this, then asked, "Are there any practical benefits?"

The Yin Armor the other party mentioned was certainly a valuable item, but it didn't hold much appeal for him.

Zhang Xuan lowered his gaze and pondered for a moment.

With a flick of his wrist, a black, rhomboid crystal the size of a fingernail appeared in his palm.

"This is a Tier 1 Yin Engraving Crystal, which is used to power the Tier 1 Yin Armor. If you eat it directly, it can enhance your physical fitness and improve your nerve reaction speed."

"If you're willing to become an unofficial member of the Black Society, this engraved crystal is yours."

He looked at Lin Ye, and he knew very well how attractive the Yin-engraved crystal was to Yin Demons.

Even he took a long time to restrain the urge to eat the engraved crystal.

Lin Ye took the engraved crystal from Zhang Xuan's hand, and for no reason, a feeling of appetite arose within him.

【Ingredient Name: Tier 1 Engraved Crystal】

[Food Category: Yin Energy Polymer]

[Ingredient Tier: Lord Tier]

Edible part: the whole body

[Effects of Consumption: Moderately increases strength, constitution, and intelligence attributes. Moderately improves nerve reaction ability.]

"Sure. But how do I get this?" he said.

Having a stable source would definitely be a good thing.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "You get three contribution points for each action you take. Three contribution points can be exchanged for a Tier 1 Yin Engraving Crystal."

Lin Ye raised an eyebrow and smiled as well.

"Then, could you share some information about the Nuo Snake God Cult?"

Zhang Xuan did not refuse, "Of course. The Nuo Snake Cult members who came to Coastal City this time are divided into eight teams."

"Each branch is responsible for a sacrificial site, used to summon eight Hundred Blood Crystals."

"6

"The so-called Hundred Blood Crystal is a ritual formed by sacrificing one hundred lives."

"Each of these eight sacrificial sites is overseen by a divine attendant, who are not connected to each other and are managed by a chief priest of the Nuo Snake God Cult."

"Once all eight sacrificial sites have been completed and eight Hundred Blood Crystals have been formed, the high priest will initiate the final sacrifice and summon the phantom of Winged Gula to descend."

Listening to Zhang Xuan's explanation, Lin Ye gradually understood.

From this perspective, the branch Xiaoyi belonged to, the branch Ge An belonged to, and the branch he destroyed each corresponded to different sacrificial sites.

"Do you have any photos of the sacrificial site? Or does the sacrificial site have any special features?" he asked.

Zhang Xuan thought for a moment, then took out a mobile phone and opened the photo album.

"The sacrificial sites do not have any obvious characteristics, but they are something that resembles a living thing."

"It emits a red light, can extend red threads to devour offerings, and can also be transferred."

Lin Ye took the phone and looked through the photos; they were almost identical to the eerie ground he had seen the night he met the divine servant.

While flipping through the photos, I would swipe past one and then suddenly swipe back.

Zhang Xuan sensed something was wrong and looked at the photo.

In the dimly lit room, a statue of the Nuo Snake Deity was enshrined on a square altar.

"Is there a problem? This is the altar of a stronghold we wiped out before."

Lin Ye raised his hand and pointed to the corner of the photo, on a bronze mask.

Where is this thing?

Zhang Xuan looked over and thought, "It seems to be one of the main offerings from that sacrificial site? It should have already been packed up and sent to headquarters."

He looked at Lin Ye, "You want it?"

Lin Ye nodded slightly. "Is that alright?"

Zhang Xuan shrugged. "Of course, no problem. It's just an antique."

"I won't say I'll use it to get you to help once, just make sure you don't shirk your duties when it's really needed."

"This thing should have already arrived at headquarters. It will probably take one or two weeks to send it back."

Lin Ye nodded. "Thank you for your help."

Fortunately, he had seen a photo of Xiaoyi's family heirloom, otherwise he would have missed it.

What puzzled him was how this mask ended up in the hands of the Nuo Snake God Cult.

Did they steal it from Bai Yue's family?

Or is this not actually a family heirloom of Xiaoyi's family, but just something that looks similar?

Without much thought, he handed the phone to Zhang Xuan.

"There's one more thing. Could you share some information about the Land of Flowing Shadows as well?"
