This time I chose Paladin

Current number of [Glass Blood]: 3-

The river looks back at you. -】

Nie Weiyang picked up the fang at the bottom of the necklace. This well-polished little thing looked like a bottle and a light bulb. He unscrewed it, and inside it was a pool of clear water emitting colorful light.

He Bo doesn't leave the water, but as the Lord of Water, his Trial Realm must be in the water. It's perfectly normal for this necklace to be able to send anyone underwater.

One drop of colored glaze blood is added every month. Even if each drop is used by different people, it will only be used by 1 people in ten years. In this hot land of Zhongzhou, it is not even a drizzle.

【[Glass Blood]-

The blood of the heart can see the light of day.

Drinking it will increase your stats and improve your river survivability. You will not be attacked by aquatic creatures in the river, and you will not be attacked by Hebo when not in combat.

Valid times: 3

Can be used to open the Hebo Trial Secret Realm]

The strange thing is that this water called Liuli Blood is indeed a kind of "blood" in Nie Weiyang's perception.

He casually opened the water vein map, raised his head and drank the colorless and odorless glowing blood in one gulp. He was surprised to find that he had 9 more attribute points. One drop of this stuff was 3 attribute points, which was quite amazing.

Nie Weiyang assigned these attributes casually, opened the map and looked for a while, and found a narrow river mouth in the downstream direction. There was obviously a waterfall there, and before it, there was only a relatively calm river bend.

He nodded with satisfaction, but did not rush to cross the river. Instead, he clapped his hands to release the lucky lottery and adjusted it on its operating panel.

The blue light in front of the lucky sign flashed for a moment, and the sharp spikes emitted a cold light.

[[Transformation: All terrain destroyed 70%]-

Who's gonna block my way?

Continuous energy input and acceleration can destroy materials with Mohs hardness of 7 or below.

-

Driver safety is not guaranteed. -】

He laughed and twisted the accelerator. The lucky draw roared and turned into a stream of blue light, moving forward along the river. In front of the car, the blue light turned into a sharp horn, shattering all the obstacles in the way. The fragments flew and pierced Nie Weiyang's shield!

He headed towards the only calm river bay, drawing a sharp straight line along the way, without considering any obstacles in the terrain!

——Come on, Baiyuesheng, let’s chat!

……

Bai Yuesheng's body was emitting a glass-colored glow, her eyes were closed, and she moved with the flow of the water.

This yellow-brown sand was nothing to look at. Sometimes she could sense something swimming past her. Was it a fish? A snake? She didn't know, and she didn't want to know. It was just that after the sound of the waves, there seemed to be some kind of movement, and occasionally...

Bai Yuesheng doesn’t think about it.

Now she was safe in the water, so she didn't think too much about it. It was a long journey, the glazed light protecting her, and when she reached a relatively quiet current, she opened her eyes.

The woman climbed out of the water and came to a river beach.

Her head and body were covered in water and mud, and the warmth flowing from her eyes was unclear whether it was water or tears. But even in such a mess, her beauty was still astonishing. Fair skin, delicate face, beautiful figure, pitiful eyes...

"Fifty percent..." the woman gritted her teeth.

She completed 50% of the task!

Bai Yuesheng crawled out of the mud, opened the map with a gloomy face, and prepared to find a direction to leave.

But a sound was approaching, it sounded like a thunder, a rumbling thunder, coming from far away and getting closer!

"Varied……"

'boom! ! ! '

In the darkness, a beam of blue light crashed through a boulder on the mountain, sending fragments flying into the sky and startling birds. Bai Yuesheng looked up, stunned as a knight in silver armor, draped in light, descended from the sky!

‘Boom! ! ! ’

The motorcycle landed and drifted to a stop, scattering dirt and rocks like flowers. The woman was hit by the shotgun-like rocks and fell back to the ground. She clutched her hair tightly and roared in hatred: "Nie Weiyang...!"

"I think you're right here." Nie Weiyang smiled as he straddled the car. "To be honest, there were so many distractions along the way that I almost didn't find you."

Weird.

Bai Yuesheng has already let Nie Weiyang see his true form, so there is no point in running away.

He could sense the fluctuations of her mental power from two miles away. It was right for the enemy to flee. Fleeing meant reducing combat intent and maintaining a state of tension for a long time, which would reduce the enemy's threat. And when it came to chasing and killing, Nie Weiyang was an expert.

But he didn't deal with the other party in one confrontation because he still had something to ask.

"What's the current situation with the Return Sect?" Nie Weiyang asked bluntly, "Tell me about the current status of the Zhongzhou Bone Sacrifice Court."

"Bone Sacrifice Court?" Bai Yuesheng was confused. "What is that?"

Nie Weiyang was stunned: "...You don't know?"

“…” Bai Yuesheng was silent.

Should I know?

"Okay, then another question." Nie Weiyang said slowly, "How many times have the people from the Returned Sect crossed the river from you these days? How many people were there each time?"

"Every time...a team with about the same number of people. As for the number of times..." Bai Yuesheng carefully raised her eyes and looked at Nie Weiyang, as if she was hesitating about something - the next moment, she jumped from the ground and was about to jump into the river again!

"Holy Blade!"

A flash of light passed by. The white light of the Holy Blade dissipated in the distant sky. The body, broken in two, fell to the ground, flesh and internal organs scattered everywhere. The woman's eyes widened, and the excruciating pain made her tremble as she clutched the soil at her hands, her eyes fixed on the figure.

Nie Weiyang calmly got out of the car and came to her side. He put one hand on her forehead and narrowed his eyes.

I was originally thinking of asking for some information that wasn't in my short-term memory...

But okay.

Cultists don't feel pain.

For these cultists, we should just search their memories!

In fact, the essence of these two chapters is to strengthen + introduce the important functions of Lucky Lottery. I thought it was a speed bump. [Hey

It also points out that different people have different advancement tasks, and the tasks change with their personalities and behaviors. Lao Nie's task is to make people execute his orders without understanding them. This setting is closely related to the subsequent plot.

If the enemy encounters an opponent like Lao Nie, it would be strange if they didn't run away, but chasing him is his forte, and he will definitely catch up (this is also to prove his pursuit ability with facts, rather than letting this setting exist only in the setting...)

You can rest assured that when the real bodies of most enemies appear in his sight, you can almost start betting on how many chapters they can survive.

Chapter 118 Xunshan

The sun rises and the moon sets. Six days after setting out, another early morning, Nie Weiyang arrived near a mountain range while watching the rising sun.

It was a strange mountain, like a suddenly arched crater, with a higher peak rising from within. This mountain was clearly a relatively recent formation, devoid of vegetation, and exposed to the sun by geological faults. Occasionally, a breeze blew away unstable rubble. And within the central peak, nestled within it lay the Zhongzhou Bone Sacrifice Hall.

This is Xunshan, the stronghold of the Return Sect.

Each bone shrine is embedded in a mountain, but on Earth, there is no such mountain.

After all, although Nie Weiyang had never been here before the end of the world, such a peculiar mountain would definitely become a check-in hotspot in the era of developed Internet. If there were such a mountain all over the world, it would become the ultimate evidence of the lizard man conspiracy theory.

The terrain of the New World is roughly similar to Earth's, but there are still many differences. As for this mountain in front of me, such a new fault...

"Change the terrain?" Nie Weiyang thought thoughtfully.

In his previous life, he didn't know about the existence of the Terrain Editor and only thought it was a technology of the Sky Crossing Demon. But now he thought, could it be that part of the Terrain Editor's authority was in the hands of the Sky Crossing Demon?

...No, that shouldn't be the reason.

After all, if they could control the terrain editor, there would be no need for them to tangle with the visitors from Earth. This was probably indeed the technology of the Skywalker, but since those things had a long history with Homo sapiens, it was unknown how much of the terrain in the entire New World was the work of the Skywalker.

At the edge of the mountains, large and small boulders are scattered in the forest.

Nie Weiyang bent down and picked up a stone. It had a beautiful reddish-brown color, a gray-black surface with a metallic luster, and felt heavy to the touch.

"Iron ore..."

The Returning Sect is very good at choosing places.

In their previous life, everyone thought they'd struck it rich, having built the Zhongzhou Bone Temple on an iron ore mine, with three ancient cities nearby and a refuge in Xun Mountain. But in this life, no matter how Nie Weiyang looked at it, he felt they'd received the coordinates from the Sky-Transfering Demon in advance, and that the Zhongzhou Bone Temple wasn't theirs to build, but rather had already existed there.

Nie Weiyang hid sideways behind a tree, his eyes moved and looked towards the outer ring of Xunshan.

On the bare mountaintop, groups of black-robed men were descending on foot. Each group consisted of twelve or thirteen men, and the total number was hundreds. Their silver pendants gleamed in the morning light, illuminating the entire mountain like scales and armor. They spread out in a fixed formation until the mountain was covered in silver light, as if it were a mountain of sunlight.

This Huihui worship ritual, using symbolic patterns imitating the sun's rays, pays homage to the Sun Lord and the half of the Dukong Demon he represents. At sunset and moonrise, they worship first on one side of the mountain, then on the other side, to pay homage to the Moon Lord and the other half of the Dukong Demon he represents.

These people would do this on every Xunshan Mountain in the world. Although Nie Weiyang insisted that this could be considered their exercise...even if it was really morning exercise, it would be impolite to rush into someone else's morning exercise group.

This is definitely not because there are too many people on the opposite side...!

Previously, Nie Weiyang confirmed some information in Bai Yuesheng's memory.

For example, the envoys of the Return Sect crossed the river every five days, but the destinations they went to were not always the cities in Nie Weiyang's memory. Many of them were just preaching and spreading the "Voice of Sacrifice" everywhere.

And this behavior has existed since the beginning of the end of the world.

He Li and Bai Yuesheng came into contact with these people more than a month after the end of the world.

Before this, they were doing the same thing on the other side of the river.

Nie Weiyang stared at Xunshan, bathed in the morning light, at the believers who moved back and forth like a chain, their steps steady, each movement identical to the previous one. Birds of all sizes flew through the sky, carving beautiful arcs across the azure sky. That was one of the ways the Return Cult monitored movements on the ground, and it was also the reason he had dismounted from his vehicle and set out on foot.

The Return Sect had too many secrets, and they didn't allow ordinary people to build settlements around them. Those who dared to do so were eliminated. This area, more than ten kilometers in radius, was a desolate no-man's land, lacking even the towns and villages that should have existed. Countless people had died.

When Nie Weiyang walked in the woods, he would see one or two corpses from time to time. At first, he couldn't bear it and buried them hastily, but when such things happened more and more, he just walked past them, but remembered them deeply in his heart.

Nowadays, communication is inconvenient and these things cannot be known to outsiders. There are many such places, whether they are under the control of the return sect or in some more dangerous places - such as near some large prisons.

Except for prisons for economic criminals.

Modern society is often criticized for its morality and ideas not keeping up with technological development. However, when the industrial and agricultural industries on which modern civilization is based are reduced to zero, and technology, materials and enforceable rules cannot keep up with the thoughts and needs of modern people, everyone is floating in different kinds of pain, unable to extricate themselves.

Nie Weiyang sighed.

He turned his eyes away from the corpse, took out a notebook, and skillfully wrote a suicide note.

Entering Xun Mountain is not an easy task. The circular shape of the mountain is not only a terrain, it also represents the direct monitoring area of ​​the Bone Temple.

The flocks of birds flying over the Bone Temple are mostly vultures, crows and other birds of prey. They are the living cameras of the Bone Temple. Once they arouse the vigilance of the Sun Lord, these birds may expose Nie Weiyang's location at any time.

Mei Yan had already climbed the mountain, panicking, as if something was chasing her. Once she informed the Lord that Nie Weiyang was following them, he would undoubtedly begin closely monitoring his surroundings—he couldn't afford to let his guard down against an enemy who had punched him from a distance.
