Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 124 Cooperation and Betrayal

Aiwass' eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of white veil. When he saw the world clearly again, the surrounding environment suddenly became dim, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

But he could clearly feel that he had been bound by someone.

It is not a means of suppressing prisoners with torture tools such as handcuffs and shackles, but a tough rope thicker than an adult's arm, which starts from the shoulders and wraps around the ankles.They directly tied people into rice dumplings.

Aiwass felt that his body was filled with powerful power, this body was far stronger than his own.But corresponding to this strength, he is very hungry at the moment and has a feeling of weakness.

He needs food.

But Aiwass tried, but found that he couldn't break the rope with brute force—it seemed to have some kind of special elasticity, so that the force when it expanded outward was removed.

At this moment, a low, hoarse, magnetic and charming voice sounded in Aiwass' mind.

He quickly stopped trying, and concentrated on listening to the dungeon introduction that would only appear once:

"You wake up with a headache, only to find that you have forgotten your name. But it doesn't matter. Your few remaining memories, you still remember why you came here.

"This is already the second day you have been imprisoned here. The nine of you are not familiar with each other. They all fell into a trap in search of the Holy Lance, and were caught by the giant Pancord couple for winter food. The only thing they have in common is that you are all strong fighters.

"The giant couple will divide the nine of you into three storage rooms. After an hour, they will go to one of the storage rooms and choose one person as their ingredient.

"The selection of ingredients is completely random. But if the giants find that someone has died, they will cook and preserve all the dead humans.

"In the giant's collection showcase is sealed a powerful holy spear, which is the trophy they got after killing an apostle who dedicated his way; The pot regenerates and grows bigger. So even if humans are small to them, one human can eat for a day.

"Although you are all strong, it is impossible to fight against giants. The giant couple is protected by the Supreme Heaven, and they cannot be harmed by any means other than the Holy Lance.

"But giants are afraid of the cold, so unless disturbed, giants just stay on their beds. But if they hear noises, giants go to investigate.

"That's all you know. You don't know if you'll get out, but you at least want to survive today."

The next moment, Aiwass saw the mission of this ceremony:

[Necessary task——]

【Live (Points: None)】

[Additional task——]

[Unnecessary killing: kill other people (points: 300 per person)]

[Escape from the crisis: leave the storage room where you are (points: 500)]

[Keep hidden: not to be discovered by giants until the end (points: 500)]

[I am a saint! : Possess the holy gun (points: 50 per minute)]

[I can also be a saint: kill the person holding the holy gun and win the holy gun (points: 500)]

[Food machine: let the giant finally choose to cook the people you killed (points: 1000)]

[The nature of the transcendent: take the initiative to attack the giant and cause effective damage (points: 1000)]

[Successful Escape: Find the key and escape from the Temple of Pancord (Points: 2000)]

[Supreme Heaven no longer exists: Use the holy gun to smash the magic cauldron without being discovered (points: 1000)]

[The courage to defeat the strong with the weak: kill a giant with the holy gun (points: 3000)]

Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly, lost in thought.

Obviously, this is a mission specially issued for Transcendent Dao.

It is completely different from Aiwass' previous mission style when he was promoted.

...Of course, it is also possible that this mission was given by the Snake Father, so it is different from the one released by the Lord of Scales and Feathers during the promotion ceremony last time.

Necessary tasks must be completed, and if they are not completed, they will be eliminated.And the necessary tasks for everyone are the same, so it simply has no points.

And in the remaining missions... the killing intent is very heavy.

Others are not clear, but the three tasks of [Escape from Crisis], [Stay Concealed], and [Successfully Escape] should be common to everyone.The text style of the task name is obviously different from other tasks.

From this point of view, this ceremony is actually possible for cooperation.Because no matter how many people flee, only one key is needed to open the door.

In other words...without counting special victories, it is possible for the three of them to find the key and escape together.

Nine people are divided into three storage rooms.Exactly three people in a storage room are natural allies.If there is one less person, the efficiency will be lower than other teams.

The style of this ceremony is obviously different from the previous Aiwass full moon ceremony... If the previous one was mainly about the plot, then this time it is mainly about a game.The plot was even blurred, Aiwass didn't even know the name of the body he was using, and he didn't need to play it at all.

The only thing Aiwass knows now is that this place is called "Pancord Temple".

And what they have to do is to be careful not to make a sound, and to find a way to leave while keeping quiet...

……wrong.

Aiwass suddenly realized - this time it was not a full moon ceremony, but a competing new moon ceremony.

If everyone fled, it means that no one fled.The amount of points itself is meaningless, and the ranking determines the promotion.

This ceremony can only promote three people, but it comes with two special victory conditions.Therefore, the only person who can definitely be promoted is the person who ranks first in terms of points... Both the second and third places may be squeezed out.

Unless the person who completed the two victory conditions happens to be first and second in points.In this case, it can be postponed to No.3.

Therefore, it is not safe to obtain points together in a group of three.

No one knows the content of other people's missions, and there is no one who publishes and updates the standings in real time.Even if the three of them always act together, the points must be high and low.

It turned out to be the case.

- No wonder the first mission is called "Unnecessary Killing".

There is no need to kill other people in this ceremony... It is not the kind of script where life and death must be fought like in the Colosseum, and even requires a certain degree of cooperation.But because they don't know the current points and all tasks of the temporary teammate, they will kill each other because of suspicion.

Because of the existence of those two special victory conditions, a team of three is inherently unstable, and one or two places may be squeezed out at any time.

Because of this, the more sincere and efficient the cooperation between each other, the more it is necessary to kill each other at the end-because they complete more tasks together, the teammate's points may be higher.

It's a ritual about cooperation and betrayal.

—Help me, Shadow Fiend.

Aiwass called out from the bottom of his heart.

Thick shadows oozed silently from his body, easily corroding the rope.He broke the rope with a struggle, turned over and sat up.He had very little clothing on him, except for a piece of clean, unbuttoned linen.

From the perspective of the positioning of the ingredients, it is not so much a robe as it is a diaper...

There was still no light source around, and Aiwass couldn't see anything.

But at this moment, a light blue light suddenly lit up in the darkness.That light caught Aiwass' attention.

He quickly saw that it should be a dense phoenix tattoo on someone's body.

The next moment, flames gushed out from the tattoo, burning the rope on his body, but not the linen cloth on his body.And with the light of the human-shaped torch, Aiwass also guessed who that person was.

This should be the monk who was silent and silent all the time.

Although the body he was using now had hair and clothes, but that silent temperament made Aiwass recognize his identity.

The monk looked at Aiwass who broke free from the rope without a sound, and nodded slightly.

Then he slowly raised his right hand, and the flames rising from his body flowed down his body surface like liquid and gathered in his palm.In this way, he became a lamp, illuminating the storage room without a source of light.

Aiwass' eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, and he took the opportunity to look around.

I feel so small—the huge bronze door is about 30 meters high. From this perspective, the giant should be at least 20 meters tall.

— About half the height of an Ultraman.

This is too big, right?Then this is really invincible for the soldiers...

To giants, a human wrapped in linen is about the size of a pancake.Rather, how big can this magic cauldron be to make a person, so that a pair of giants of this size can eat it for a day?

Seeing that the other two had broken free, another person in the room quickly called out: "I am Hong, help me!"

Aiwass turned around, only to find that what Ms. Hong was using at this moment was not a female body - but a male young soldier with muscles all over his body just like them.

Hong was also being bundled into rice dumplings at the moment, but she didn't seem in a hurry.But unlike Aiwass and the monk, she didn't have the ability to break free from the rope...or she wanted to keep her magic power and was unwilling to use her extraordinary ability to escape.

Aiwass is more inclined to the latter.

Want to hide your strength at the beginning?

——Then you might as well just die here.

"Okay, Ms. Red."

Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly, walked over slowly and said in his own voice, not Shadow Demon's, "I'm Aleister..."

But just before Aiwass approached, the monk suddenly blocked him with his other hand.

"Don't save him."

The monk said briefly, "Kill him."

His voice was full of killing intent.
