Chapter 111 Chaos Vendor
Option one 35.3%, option two 64.7%.

……

【Option [-]】

[Do not extinguish the underground brazier, all of them are needed]

……

Points are what counts.

"I'm not a resident of this world. I'm not even a person."

Gods, demons, what use are they to me?
"Only the points are real."

Zheng Zhuo looked at the fifth brazier in the basement with satisfaction.The fire in the brazier went out after burning for a while, but Zheng Zhuo knew that it was just that the temperature was not enough.

"one by one."

Zheng Zhuo went back to the surface of the temple along the wall of the basement.He first entered the brazier under the leftmost idol.

【Points: 9】

【Points: 10】

【…】

The flame melted into Zheng Zhuo's body little by little.

Points continue to rise.The brightness of the flame in the brazier decreased accordingly.

Zheng Zhuo swallowed the flames under the statue little by little.At last, when he passed under the first statue, there was not even a single spark there.

[Points: 108].

Not counting the previously ingested part, Zheng Zhuo ate a full 100 points in a brazier.

"The heat that the flame can provide is still very high. It is higher than the corpse of an animal..."

Zheng Zhuo thought, and entered the second brazier.

"However, judging from the points, this fire may not have divine power, special power... or something like that."

He was somewhat looking forward to it, so he felt a little lost.

"Too greedy. Anyway, points, points."

Zheng Zhuo began to eat the flames in the second brazier.

……

Gollum, gollum.

One fire is eating another fire.This strange sight continued to happen in the temple.

Gollum, gollum.

Zheng Zhuo tore open the flame in the brazier and swallowed it.After eating one pot, he went into another pot.

The sacrificial braziers were extinguished one by one.The interior of the temple became darker a little bit.

Finally, the last remaining light in the room trickled down from the last brazier.

Zheng Zhuo entered the underground of the temple with the 408 points he obtained.

……

He lit the suspicious altar again.

"If it's suspicious, then it's suspicious."

The fire is so warm and so delicious.

Zheng Zhuo climbed into the brazier and curled up inside.

【Points: 409】

【Points: 410】

【…】

warm feeling.This time, Zheng Zhuo was too lazy to take the initiative to eat.

Arrived at the last pot.Enjoying slowly is the best choice.

In the warm flame, Zheng Zhuo unconsciously lost consciousness.

……

Does it mean that even if a person becomes a fire, the brain needs to rest?

Zheng Zhuo couldn't give an answer.He did, however, feel drowsy from time to time and briefly lost consciousness.

But this time, he was woken up by the noise of a battlefield.

"—"

"------"

When Zheng Zhuo regained consciousness from the haze, he found himself flying in the sky.

Below, countless people were shouting.Men ran from the city with shining spears in their hands.They drove away the alien beast and the hideous figure who rode on it.

Zheng Zhuo had an impression of the four people at the head.It is the four statues of gods molded in the temple.

"Is it a mythical scene?"

This looks very much like the picture enshrined in the temple: the four gods led the people to defeat the strange man, and drove the strange man to a far away place.

When Zheng Zhuo was thinking this way, the scene in front of him changed.

The strange man riding on the ghost-faced horse suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Zheng Zhuo in the air.

"Hee hee hee."

He laughed ghastly.

Followed by.

There was a change in the pursuit.

"Ah...ah..."

The four human beings headed by them suddenly fell to the ground!They fell to their knees in pain, convulsed and foaming at the mouth.

Soon.

Accompanied by screams, the appearance of the human body and spirit changed.

They no longer possess a human-like appearance.They became green-faced and fangs, with hideous faces, deformed horns on their heads, and twisted limbs in strange directions.

The monster that was once a god stood up from the ground and roared towards the sky.

the next moment.

Zheng Zhuo returned to the temple.The interior of the eaves of the temple glowed with a dark green light, and runes were displayed line by line.On the ground, the same dark green light flows along the dents.

Zheng Zhuo couldn't read these runes, but he was surrounded by these lights, and he vaguely felt a kind of oppressive force penetrating deep into his heart.

Zheng Zhuo looked towards the front of the temple.

The four stone statues that were originally human bodies have turned into the terrifying alien shapes on the battlefield just now.

In the brazier below them, the orange-red flames had also turned a dull green.

"……Hee hee hee……"

A thin voice echoed through the temple.

"...Here comes again...Here comes again...People who want my book..."

"Another...hehehe..."

The laughter was exactly the same as that of the strange man that Zheng Zhuo had just heard on the battlefield.

"come on……"

"The more... the better..."

"Take me...out together..."

What do you mean?
Zheng Zhuo caught the words and phrases that caught his attention.

"Go out together"?
Zheng Zhuo suddenly thought of those spots of light that said "take me away" that he met in [Ocean World].

Is this ugly weirdo one of their [participants] who entered this world before?

"Are you also a participant who entered the [subconscious mind] before!?"

Zheng Zhuo shouted.

"……Hee hee hee……"

But he received no answer.

"Hey! Can you hear me!"

"Go...to the tower...to the tower...my everything is there..."

"Cross the city, cross the river... climb the tower..."

"On the shelf...books with black covers"

"There's...everything in there..."

Talk to yourself.

No matter what Zheng Zhuo said, the other party did not respond at all.

However, Zheng Zhuo confirmed at least one thing.

[Joker] Probably heard this before going to the tower.

"Amorphous existence..."

The voice continued.

"You chose my altar..."

"I will give you..."

"A part of me..."

"..."

The sound gradually diminished and went away.The dark green flame also went out as the sound diminished.

It was getting darker and darker.In the end, Zheng Zhuo couldn't even see the light from his own body.

……

"……what!"

Zheng Zhuo woke up suddenly.He looked forward.

Stone basins and walls of mud.

I'm still in the basement.

"Did you just dream...?"

Do flames dream too?Zheng Zhuo climbed out of the completely burned out brazier and returned to the surface.

The four towering stone statues still looked like the human beings they had seen for the first time, and they hadn't turned into green faces and fangs.

"really?"

He opens the interface.

However, the interface reminded him: that was not a dream.

……

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Race: Shadow Fire (Kumquat)]

[Ability: identification, evolution]

[Evolved: Ignition, Venom, Dexterity, Territorial Awareness]

【Points: 500】

[Optional evolution: fear/greed/pollution/chaos]

……

"Wow."

The points are reached, which is pretty good.

Still, the name of the direction in which it can evolve sounds disturbing.

It must be the effect of that dream.

"Don't worry about it. At least it will be strong."

Zheng Zhuo said to himself.

Living as a flame these days, Zheng Zhuo understood one thing.

To survive in this dangerous world, becoming more dangerous is the right way.
