Xingtie, started with a guitar, and made a living by singing

Having avoided another extremely vicious trap that was heading three ways down, March Seven wiped the non-existent sweat from his face and said with some fear.

"The prayerless in this cave are truly evil. These things are arranged with the sole intention of killing or maiming the enemy."

"They naturally wouldn't hesitate to reduce the enemy's numbers before the battle. For these prayerless beings, their true purpose is to drag all living beings into the abyss of cruelty and bring forth the Chaos Gods they believe in."

Zariyus, who was following behind the others, also explained.

"Therefore, Master March, if you really face them, please do not hold back. These guys are more like demons in human form than humans. Even real demons may not be as full of desire for destruction as these."

"I-I know!"

After taking a look at March Seventh, whose mentality was changing, the Pu Ren scout didn't know what to say.

People like this who have great strength but lack the corresponding mentality of a strong person are often the easiest to die. However, judging from the words and attitude of the young priest who saved him, the other party is a high-level fighter of the Earth Mother Cult.

This contrast really made him feel uneasy, so he could only secretly make up his mind to avoid being with her as much as possible once the war broke out.

In comparison, her other companions were different. Needless to say, the guy with the gun had an extremely sharp temperament since entering the cave, which was more impressive than almost any gun user he had ever seen.

He is undoubtedly a real strong man, who has both strength and the corresponding mentality.

As for that female mage in a mage robe with an indifferent expression... although I don't know why she uses an iron bat as a weapon, judging by the ease with which she wields it, even a simple physical swing would probably cause considerable damage.

Apart from muttering in his heart, wondering if it was a barbarian who had changed his profession, he had no choice but to accept this choice.

As for the person in this group who was the most unpredictable to him, it was undoubtedly Wendy, who was called the captain.

This guy is no different from the bard stationed in the tavern in terms of both actions and personality. However, if his level was really just this, he would not even dare to set foot in the cave. But this guy is different.

That kind of casual attitude, as if they are here to play, without any psychological burden. Such a guy who lacks tension is either a fool, or a strong person who is conceited about his power and thinks that he can solve any difficulty.

Whether it was the former or the latter, the attitude of the other members of the team towards him could also be seen -

Thinking of this, the Puren scout subconsciously moved closer to him.

When he saw me approaching, he just smiled slightly. It seemed like he was looking at an audience member who came to support him, not as an adventurous companion.

What a strange team, yet one that feels like they have a tacit understanding...

As the Puren scouts were muttering this in their hearts, Mimiya, who was walking in front, suddenly raised her right arm, clenched her fist, and signaled everyone to stop.

"what happened?"

Zariyus asked first.

"There's a fork in the road ahead, but something's not right."

Mimiya looked at the entrances leading in two directions with a serious expression.

"Judging from the wear and tear on the ground, it's hard to tell which is new and which is old. It's likely that the enemy deliberately laid this kind of passage to confuse us."

You cannot walk around randomly in the cave, and it is even more taboo to split up the team without authorization. However, if you walk on one road to the end, it will be troublesome if the retreat is blocked.

The Pu people scouts did not pay close attention to which way they came out when they were escaping. In such a dim cave, shadows can easily cause visual dislocation.

Although the Pu people are one of the few races with night vision, it was not easy for him to escape alive given his poor mental state at the time. Asking him to recall the whole process would undoubtedly deepen the pollution of his mind.

More importantly, each of these processed traces represents a meaning.

"—The summoned Chaos minion possesses remarkable intelligence."

Most of the big-eyed monsters are intelligent, but not particularly intelligent. Most of them serve as gatekeepers.

But the other party has now specially smoothed the road surface, so it is hard to say whether there are traps set on both sides.

"Then what should we do now?"

In response to this, March 7 asked directly.

"Either choose one of these two, or choose a more violent method—"

Mimiya frowned and had some thoughts in her mind.

"for example?"

"We don't know where the Big Eyed Monster's lair is and where the prayerless ones gather, but they all have one thing in common: they hate Orthodox Christians."

At this point in the conversation, everyone subconsciously looked at March Seven and Fina. As "recognized" believers in the Earth Mother, they were inherently incompatible with heretics and were also in the category of people that the heretics extremely rejected.

"If you can pray to the gods and ask them to give you some revelation, this problem will be solved."

After all, given the character of the Earth Mother, I believe that She will not let go of such heresy, and the success rate of revelation will definitely not be low.

Enlightenment.

This is an action in which believers offer prayers to gods and ask for instructions. It is mostly used in such difficult binary choices, with gods making difficult decisions for them, and the upper and lower limits are very high.

However, before this, Fina's prayers were rarely heard by the gods because her rank was too low. Although she was considered a rare talent, that was all, and she was not much better than priests of the same age.

But the good thing is that there is a Miss March 7th at the "bishop" level here.

At the level of bishop, the role of revelation has been greatly enhanced, and he often serves as a mouthpiece for receiving oracles, and the success rate of prayers is quite high.

"Oh! That's a good idea indeed. Let me pray with Lady March and see how it goes!"

Of course, Fina had no objection. She looked at the embarrassed Sanyueqi with sparkling eyes, then walked up to her and held up her hand.

"Master March, let's get started!"

"Ah... uh, I don't need that. Fina will definitely be able to do it..."

"...Ugh, do you dislike me? Because my level is too low and it will affect the progress of your prayers?"

Fina, a girl with such a delicate mind, immediately misunderstood and looked at March 7 with tears in her eyes. She couldn't sit idly by and could only hurriedly explain.

"That's not what I meant. I just think things like this should be left to professionals... Never mind. I'll just make a cameo appearance today. How about we read together?"

"no problem!"

Fina was already used to March Seven's poor cover-up, and soon she began to recite devoutly.

"Merciful Earth Mother, please use your power of the earth to guide us who have lost our way forward—revelation!"

As the glow of revelation descended, the originally bare ground quickly changed. Some traces as if they had been crushed by tentacles quickly emerged and continued to spread deeper along their tracks.

There is no doubt that the revelation was successful.

Such a result was naturally encouraging, and even the Pu people scouts who originally thought that March 7 was unreliable were somewhat amazed.

After all, in this world where gods really exist, anyone who can make miracles happen will be respected, no matter who they are.

Following the guidance of revelation, everyone soon found the location of the nest, and the scenery below made everyone present look froze.

It was a hell for the living.

The rocky ground was covered in a layer of blood fat, and was covered with fishy-smelling mucous balls, and many tiny tentacle larvae were feeding freely on the seedbed.

The corpses of those whose flesh and blood had been sucked away, leaving only dry and wrinkled skin, were everywhere. There were not only humans, but also individuals of other races, and even quite a few monsters.

The shadow of the summoning circle can still be barely seen in the center, but the owner of the nest is not here. It is unknown whether he has gone out to hunt or is hiding somewhere to secretly spy on the intruders.

“… Ugh!”

Fina covered her mouth and retched uncontrollably.

She had been completely affected by this scene of spiritual pollution. The pungent stench in the air and the miserable deaths of her fellow tribesmen all irritated her fragile nerves.

San Yueqi had a similar reaction. Although he didn't retch, his face was pale. Xing unconsciously clenched his fists and frowned.

Since arriving on this planet, she has felt more than once that the antimatter legions she had fought in the past looked much more handsome than these monsters, even though the damage and destruction caused by the former far exceeded the bloodshed committed in the thousands of years of history of this planet.

But such an intuitive visual experience does make people feel disgusted and even trigger some kind of anxious and violent emotions.

After realizing this, she immediately warned: "Everyone, be careful of the venue!"

Before she finished her words, Dan Heng, who had been silent beside her, had already reacted. He rushed to the scene and pierced the suction tentacles hanging from the ceiling.

This sudden change also brought the other adventurers, who were originally shocked by the scene, back to their senses. Mimiya immediately drew her bow and took aim, while Zariyus took out a calming sachet from his waist and handed it to March Seven and Fina, asking them to use it to temporarily deceive their senses.

The moment her senses returned to normal, Fina subconsciously released the miracle of holy light.

This miracle emits a light almost like a flash bomb from the caster's staff, but it can be controlled to be non-glaring and only illuminate dark environments.

As the holy light lit up, the giant eye that was originally perched on the ceiling also revealed a triumphant and evil look. Although it had no vocal organs on the outside, it emitted unclear and confusing mumbling sounds from inside its body.

This made Mimiya aim at it immediately, while the Pu people scout on the side lowered his head and shouted a warning in a hurry.

"Wait! Don't look it in the eye!"

And what answered him was Mimiya's confident answer that she had prepared in advance.

"Who says you can't shoot your prey without visual inspection?"

She closed her eyes, endured the negative impact of the whispering, and quickly shot the arrow enchanted with thunder repellent.

It was as if a tiny arc of electricity flashed in the air, directly avoiding the tentacles that were blocking the big-eyed monster, turning in the air, and then hitting the center of its eyeball.

“—Ji Ga?!”

The big-eyed monster let out a painful wail.

The pupils that were originally bleeding due to looking at the holy light quickly turned gray and crystallized, and fell straight down from the sky.

On the other side, San Yue Qi, who covered his eyes and dared not look, could only listen and ask, "Wait, is this solved?"

"Although there were sounds of being attacked, the Chaos followers shouldn't be so easy to deal with..."

Zarius also held out his hands to shield his face, avoiding looking directly at the Chaos followers, and spoke in a cautious tone.

"Something's wrong. Dan Heng's condition hasn't been lifted yet!"

Xing, who first noticed something was wrong, reacted quickly by observing Dan Heng's performance.

In order to protect everyone from being attacked, Dan Heng probably had a direct look at the big-eyed monster at that moment. At this moment, he was covering his head with his hands, his mind was a little confused, and he couldn't hear the sounds around him clearly. Various mumblings kept ringing in his head.

Not only that, other people also began to be affected, feeling dizzy and dazed. Even though they had not looked directly at the monster, they still suffered from mental pollution.

At the same time, the sound of flesh and blood squirming was heard around everyone.

"So humans are just stupid creatures. They react immediately, but still sacrifice themselves for other burdens!"

A strange and annoying sound echoed in the cave, and it was impossible to tell where its source came from.

The Pu people scouts were terrified at this moment, having never expected such a situation to occur.

"What the hell is going on? We didn't even look directly at the monster, so why are we still contaminated?!"

"What gives you the illusion that you aren't looking directly at me?"

The corpse of the big-eyed monster that attacked quickly turned into blood and flowed under everyone's feet.

Countless tentacle larvae crawled up from the bottom of the cliff. They combined with each other and soon formed the shape of eyes. At this moment, it continued to mock.

"Ever since you gave up your curiosity and peered into the abyss, the abyss has been watching you!"

Chapter 127: Archery of the Gods

The giant-eyed monster has suddenly become stronger recently. Although the reason is unknown, it is most likely caused by the disaster that streaked across the sky.

Not only did its intelligence level increase rapidly, but it also delved deeper into its abilities and developed more uses for them, quickly becoming a "city-destroying" monster with strength comparable to that of a demon general.

It was originally not possible for it to pass this sacrificial ceremony to increase its strength dramatically, but relying on its own unique characteristics, it first split and weakened itself, and then replenished its flesh and blood to strengthen itself.

This method of using two extremes of front and back combat power allowed it to successfully transfer to the positive plane by exploiting a loophole in the summoning circle.

Those guys who summoned it and tried to enslave it became its first dessert after passing through the summoning circle. These guys and the tributes they offered were indeed good, allowing it to quickly restore its strength to about 50% of its full state. While devouring, it also felt the presence of other little mice.

As a "visual" monster, it is also extremely sensitive to the sight of other creatures.

In order to kill the escaped little mouse, it used its mental power to emit evil thoughts, causing those mentally retarded goblins to unconsciously gather around it. After killing them, they could become its next meal. However, these scum, who were worse than ditch frogs, all died one by one.

Obviously, someone else happened to encounter them and easily dealt with them all. Although the giant eye monster was many times higher in monster rank, it was now in a weak period after being summoned.

If we attack them head-on, it is hard to say whether we can catch them all in one fell swoop since the information has been leaked in advance.

After all, although it was perceived that those adventurers did not have anyone with particularly high mental power, they did have two disgusting believers of the Mother Goddess.

If it is hit by their attack miracle, it will suffer considerable damage.

In this situation, it is undoubtedly best to rely on traps and other tricks to reduce the number of people before the battle. It quickly controlled the other prayerless ones after gaining useful knowledge from those devouring creatures, and began to make arrangements while those adventurers were resting.

In the end, these arrangements successfully led the food step by step into the carefully set trap.

The giant-eyed monster floated up into the air, its eyes full of mockery and ridicule.

"So, which one should I start with?"
