A Guide to Becoming a God Starting from a Monastery

Thomas looked around at the corpses scattered all over the ground.

Some kind of sacrifice? A large number of humans, a few animals, and a remnant of the Old Ones sacrificed to this totem pole?

Thomas squinted his eyes and thought for a while, but he could only write this matter down and study it later when he got back.

Walk all the way out of the cave.

However, this was only the edge of the area where the red light was concentrated, and it was still far from the center. This discovery was truly a pleasant surprise.

He continued forward and not far away he saw another cave.

The same place as before.

There was another cave, but not as deep as the previous one.

Thomas walked in a short distance before he came to a larger stone chamber.

This place is almost as big as half a football field. The top is extremely empty, and countless inverted stalactites stand there, like sharp swords pointing straight down.

In the center of the stone chamber is a huge pit, and the bottom is covered with dense white bones.

There's no need for torches here, as the decaying bones release phosphorescence, a faint blue light that illuminates the entire environment.

The skeletons of tiny humans and bizarre animals lay piled here, layer upon layer, no one knew how deep they lay. Regardless of their race in life, they were all piled here in a jumbled mess. Ribs stretched through eye sockets, leg and arm bones overlapped and rested on hipbones... It was a sickening, pale jungle, emitting an ominous smell of death.

In the center of the pit, where the bones are piled up particularly high, is another totem pole.

Thomas closed his naked eye and used his magical vision to carefully observe his surroundings, and saw several spots.

In the jungle of bones, a white wolf skin was found - the flesh and bones were gone, but the tattered fur remained.

There is no magic in this.

There is also a half-human, half-fish corpse.

This one was both fresher and more disgusting. The monster's entire body was covered in warty protrusions resembling those of a sea cucumber. Its upper body was vaguely human, its lower body a scaleless fishtail. Perhaps due to the natural decay of the corpse, fermentation gases had burst its rotting skin, rupturing its soft, fat belly. Connective tissue, viscera, and a mass of slime-covered fish eggs flowed unchecked, half still inside, half exposed, emitting a pungent odor of ammonia, nitrogen, and sulfide.

The magical light on its body was concentrated on the pool of fish eggs.

Thomas had no intention of taking this target away. He just picked up the translucent fish eggs and looked at them.

It looked like disgusting jelly with tiny black embryos stuck inside, and they were obviously dead.

However, the magical light emitted by these fish eggs is real, which means that these things are connected to the magic network in some way, can create magical items, and automatically draw energy from the magic network.

No matter how disgusted he felt, Thomas still took out a leather bag and put these things away. There weren't many of them, only about ten or so.

Then suddenly, a dark shadow flashed behind him.

A black shadow flew across the sky at an extremely fast speed and hit Thomas' back.

Thomas' expression remained unchanged as he stepped aside.

A heavy blow landed among the bones, and bone fragments flew everywhere.

Thomas suddenly swung the sword in his hand, and in a flash, he had already cut the black shadow.

Chapter 270: Exclusive Exploration 3

But unexpectedly, the opponent's body was tougher than expected.

The long sword could not cut through the opponent and was pulled back by the opponent.

Thomas turned around and saw the evil tree man.

This monster just walked in slowly from behind, but surprisingly did not make any sound, and chose to attack from behind.

Of course, for Thomas, who practices the secret art of Steel Soul, a sneak attack is impossible.

As long as he still has a little bit of attention on the mental field, he will not be attacked by surprise.

Unless he was shocked by some scene.

But the feeling from my hands...

This shit is much harder than ordinary branches!

Thomas turned around and carefully looked at the evil tree man who came in behind him.

It looks like an ordinary tree, but has a human-like shape. It has two legs and two arms, but its shoulders are very narrow, and its arms are like branches growing out at an angle, of varying lengths.

You can just barely see a pair of eyes on the head, but they are hidden under the bark and require a close look to distinguish.

In addition, there are some vines hanging from the head.

If you put your legs together and stand in the forest, you really can't tell them apart.

In addition to its arms, it also had long vines hanging from its head. Just now, it used these vines to attack Thomas from a distance.

"Interesting... So you know how to sneak attack," Thomas said. "It seems you have a certain intelligence."

The evil tree man ignored it and seeing that his sneak attack failed, he immediately stepped into the skeleton forest.

Its body density was clearly far greater than that of ordinary flesh and blood. Thomas could walk on the bone forest, but this monster simply sank into it.

So he walked very slowly, and it was obvious that he was not satisfied with this kind of combat environment.

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Thomas tried to ask. He tried several languages ​​he knew, but it seemed that the other party either didn't understand or didn't want to pay attention.

"If you understand, we can try to talk."

The evil tree man took a final step forward, and now his longer arm could reach Thomas.

A fierce slap came over.

Thomas remembered it clearly. It was a similar blow that easily broke a human's neck before.

The evil tree man spread out his five fingers and pressed towards Thomas like a wall with tremendous force.

This wasn't an attack that could be blocked with just a long sword.

In other words, it is useless to block it, as you will be knocked flying by this force and thrown far away, or at least be seriously injured.

"It really doesn't work..." Thomas sighed lightly, then immediately pressed the air in his chest into his sword.

A bright light emerged from the long sword.

Just like a diamond, you can see the colorful splendor if you look closely.

Nightmare Sword: King Kong.

This is a trick in the Steel Soul Secret Art that converts mental power into lethality.

Moreover, when performing this move, all mental power is concentrated on the target, and through mental induction, it is possible to detect those almost undetectable gaps and find the opponent's weaknesses.

With my palms open, I felt like a mountain was pressing down on me.

Thomas suddenly drew his sword, concentrating all his strength on this strike.

The huge hand that was like a wall brushed past Thomas harmlessly.

A huge finger flew into the air and landed among the bones.

"The speed and strength are good... but it's a pity that the flaw is too big!" Thomas smiled, then jumped up and took the initiative to attack, rushing straight towards the evil tree man.

The evil tree man swept across with his other shorter arm.

With a bang, Thomas slashed the evil tree man's wrist with his sword.

Nightmare Sword: King Kong's lethality is indeed enough. With the help of his mental strength, the long sword actually cut off the wrist of the evil tree man with one blow.

It wasn't completely cut off, only the last few scraps of bark were still connected.

The severed hand only scraped harmlessly against Thomas's body, causing him to stumble.

The first blow cuts off the fingers, the second blow cuts off the wrist.

For a human, this was a truly devastating blow, and Thomas suspected the man would be temporarily incapacitated by the pain.

This time, the other party should...

Suddenly he let out a light exclamation, looked at the evil tree man as if nothing had happened, turned around and ran out of the cave.

He didn't even cover the wound, letting the severed hand hang loose.

Of course, there was no blood or anything resembling blood on the wound, whether it was the finger or the wrist.

The smile on his face quickly disappeared, and he stepped forward and quickly chased after the other person.

Steel Soul Secret Technique: Shrinking the Earth!

The evil tree man had already left the cave and was running quickly through the forest.

Although the evil tree man is fast, it is still inferior to the shrinking earth.

Thomas caught up from behind and cut off the opponent's leg with a sword.

The evil tree man was completely unaware, and every time Thomas caught up with him, he could chop him, but he was always left behind.

This guy's body is stronger than ordinary trees, and has a strong toughness that makes it difficult to cut.

If it was an ordinary slash, even if Thomas held the sword with both hands, it would only leave a tiny, shallow sword mark.

It must be the Nightmare Sword: King Kong to cause effective damage.

But even the Nightmare Sword: King Kong can only cut off thinner parts such as wrists and fingers, and cannot cut off the opponent's legs or feet.

Unless the opponent stands still...you can attack repeatedly to widen the gap and eventually cut off their legs and feet.

It's similar to chopping down a tree with an axe.

Thomas hit the opponent seven or eight times in a row, but it still had no effect, and he couldn't even slow down the opponent.

But he didn't dare to chase him anymore, because the evil tree man was not the real boss here.

You can't just run into the enemy's lair without any preparation.

Thomas stopped and watched the evil tree man disappear into the forest.

Go back and deal with the totem pole, then slowly explore forward.

It was still very early today and Thomas was very patient.

On the other side of the forest, Robin led everyone forward following the footprints left by the evil tree man.

When the evil tree man is standing there, he can completely disguise himself as a tree, but if he runs, the footprints he leaves behind are very obvious.

It was not difficult for everyone to reach this unique area.

In the early spring forest, the snow has not melted in other places, and there are only dead grass and withered vines. Only here can green grass, shrubs and vines be seen everywhere. You can tell at a glance that this place is haunted.

In all likelihood, this is the monster's lair.

"Everyone, be careful. Search in groups of three! Keep your whistles close to your mouths. If there's any danger, blow them immediately!"

Robin raised his hand cautiously and began to direct everyone to disperse and search for the person.

"There is an altar here!" Someone suddenly brought the news.

Chapter 271 Destruction 1

There is an altar above the clearing in the forest.

There is only an altar, no statue or emblem.

The snow on the altar had melted away, and a thick layer of luster could be seen on the dark stone platform.

Those who are familiar with it understand that this is the blood of countless sacrifices, condensed layer by layer.

Even though time has passed and sacrificial activities have long been discontinued... the bloodstain still cannot be erased and has penetrated deep into the stone.

However, after searching for a while, the group found nothing.

There was nothing around the altar.

Robin's eyes were alert as he slowly walked around the altar a few times.

I walked around the stone platform and carefully observed the textures and patterns on it.

Unfortunately, this altar is primitive and simple, without any reliefs on it. Just looking at this altar, it is impossible to tell which god it is dedicated to.

He tried hard to recall the relevant knowledge in his memory, but he really couldn't remember it.

He stared again, his expression suddenly startled as he noticed the details.
