This Weird Three Kingdoms game is too cruel.

Chapter 109 The City Lord and the Scarlet Mother

The ancient city of Shansang.

"Zhou Zhuangshi!"

"You are finally back!"

"We thought you had an accident!"

As soon as Zhou Ji entered the city, he was recognized by several military officers. The Woniushan area was only so big, and the population at its peak was only over a hundred thousand people. As the most famous local hero, even in Shansang City, there were many fame.

Zhou Ji felt that the town was lifeless, the streets were covered with dead vines and weeds, and all kinds of debris seemed to have not been cleaned up for months.

Every soldier looked very tired, and the civilians in the city were even more skinny, their eyes were almost dull and numb, and a depressive and even weird atmosphere permeated the city.

I always feel that something is not quite right.

For a while, I couldn't tell what went wrong.

"Big Brother Zhou!"

At this time, a young man dressed as a general came over. He looked to be in his thirties, but his actual age must be younger. He was wearing a badly worn armor with a ring-sword hanging from his waist. Eyes flushed.

Feng Yi.

One of the guards of Shansang City.

He has a lifelong friendship with Zhou Ji.

"That's great, I knew my brother was very skilled in martial arts, how could he easily die at the hands of aliens outside the city, it's just your left arm..."

"I tried to assassinate the leader of the dragon lizards, but it was a pity that I was inferior to others and failed. Now I am very lucky to be able to save a life." Zhou Ji briefly mentioned his own experience, "How is the situation in the city during this time?"

Feng Yi sighed and said, "Because of the harassing by foreign races every three days, the soldiers in the city are already very tired, and the food and grass in the city are almost exhausted, and the city lord is preparing to hold a large-scale scarlet ceremony..."

"What did you say? Scarlet Festival?"

The city lord, Wang Zhi, has been obsessed with demons and sorcery for the past ten years. Among them, there are many special methods or creations created by formations. They need to consume the blood of humans and animals every month, and even sacrifice living people to maintain them.

Although most of these methods are very cruel, most of the people who were sacrificed in the past were also criminals who committed crimes. Even if the punishment was too severe, it was still acceptable.

Why do you want to hold a festival at this time?It's not time for sacrifice yet!
Feng Yi explained with an ugly face: "In order to gain enough strength to compete with the alien race, the city lord selected a hundred children from the whole city to sacrifice to the Scarlet Mother."

Zhou Ji was furious: "Is Wang Zhi crazy?!"

No wonder I felt something was wrong since I came back.

He finally realized that it was the children who had disappeared.

Feng Yi hurriedly said: "Brother, be careful!"

Zhou Ji was furious: "Speak carefully? He has been intensifying all these years in order to practice evil methods, and now he doesn't even let his children go. How is this behavior different from that of a beast?"

Feng Yi sighed: "Although the actions of the city lord are too extreme, the whole city is facing an extremely difficult situation. If the situation cannot be broken, I am afraid that everyone will starve to death..."

"If you have to pay for your life with children, why should a man be willing to die!"

Zhou Ji turned around directly: "I want to see Wang Zhi!"

Feng Yi dissuaded him: "Brother Zhou, don't do stupid things. The city lord's temperament has become more and more weird in the past two years. Not only will it be impossible for you to persuade him, but you may even irritate him."

"So what? If I turn a blind eye to this, I will be ashamed of my foster father's teachings!"

Zhou Ji entered the city early this time because he wanted to make an effort. If he could persuade the city lord in a peaceful way without resorting to violence or bloodshed, and eventually surrender the city to Hang Yu without bloodshed, this would undoubtedly be the most ideal result.

in other words.

Regardless of whether such a thing happened or not.

Zhou Ji will find a way to meet Wang Zhi to test his attitude,

In order to practice evil skills and secret techniques, Wang Zhi always lives in seclusion on weekdays, and he doesn't know what state he is in now!
Of course.

Before meeting Wang Zhi.

Zhou Ji didn't forget the players either.

He told Feng Yi everything about Lord Hang Yu, and asked him to make arrangements to bring in the twelve Scourge soldiers as soon as possible. If he fails to negotiate or even fails to come back, the twelve Scourge soldiers can Become an internal agent and help Lord Hang Yu seize the city by force.

After making detailed arrangements.

Zhou Ji went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord's mansion was transformed from the former county government. It covers an area of ​​more than 100 feet long from north to south, and [-] feet wide from east to west. There are more than [-] houses, all of which are covered with tile roofs. fence.

At this moment, the entire City Lord's Mansion was shrouded in a layer of red mist, and it was impossible to see the situation inside clearly from the outside. After Zhou Ji thought about it, he didn't choose to report, and directly climbed over the wall and entered.

There is a large courtyard that has been expanded in the center of the City Lord's Mansion.

I saw an egg-sized crystal floating above the central altar.

This object is the divine stone of luck bred in Shansang County. It can not only form a barrier near Shansang County to prevent the erosion of the nightmare of the abyss, but also have the effect of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

The whole altar exudes a strange atmosphere.

Although Zhou Ji couldn't see it with the naked eye, he could feel a secret and dark formation covering the entire courtyard with the altar as the center, and there were hundreds of things like large vats placed within this range.

Zhou Ji approached and looked at it with tears in his eyes.

There are young children in the tank.

Although most of them still seemed to be breathing, they had already fallen into a coma and were dying. Some kind of power was constantly absorbing the vitality and soul from the children's bodies, and they would definitely die within a day or two at most.

Zhou Ji turned his head decisively and drew out his saber. The high-pitched roar of the tiger exploded, and a flaming tiger-shaped saber energy bombarded the altar in front of him. The powerful force instantly destroyed a corner of the altar.

The altar was damaged.

Earthquakes.

The array was terminated.

This naturally raises concerns.

At that time, nearly twenty burly and masked guards arrived after hearing the sound.

These city lord's mansion guards are all confidantes trained by the city lord by unknown means. Although they are all dumb and can't speak, they are quite powerful, and they are loyal to the city lord.

Facing the encirclement, instead of being afraid, Zhou Ji raised his knife and shouted loudly: "Old Wang Zhi, get out!"

"How dare you!"

A man in red walked out from among the soldiers. This guy is at least 70 years old this year, but he looks younger than Zhou Ji, but his temperament gives people a cold and cold feeling. He is the former Shansang county captain and the current city lord. Wang Zhi.

"Zhou Jiyou dares to ruin my event!"

"Wang Zhi, you used to be a loyal hero, why did you degenerate to this point and do such nasty things!"

Wang Zhi said indifferently: "Pifu, what do you know? Only by summoning the power of the Scarlet Mother can the city be protected. Compared with the extinction of all bloodlines, paying this price is nothing."

Zhou Ji angrily scolded: "Don't deceive yourself and others. It's not so much to lead the people to live, but to satisfy your own selfish desires and ambitions. You are not worthy of sitting in this position at all."

However, Wang Zhi suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter was unusually piercing and crazy.

Zhou Ji asked, "What are you laughing at?"

"Of course I'm laughing at you for being stupid. What are you worthy of pointing fingers at in front of me? But what you said is absolutely right, I'm always only for myself!"

Wang Zhi's expression became more and more frantic: "Everyone in this city is just a pig and sheep raised in captivity. The only purpose of these people's existence is to please the Scarlet Mother, even you are no exception!"

There is no cure!

This guy has gone completely crazy!
Zhou Ji's face darkened. He had already realized that Wang Zhi's mind had been completely corrupted. At this moment, he had turned into an unscrupulous and mercenary monster!

Negotiations are meaningless under such circumstances.

It is impossible for Wang Zhi to hand over the city obediently, but if he can take this opportunity to kill him, the lord can take the opportunity to enter this area and become the new leader of this place.

"Old thief die!"

Zhou Ji chose to strike first, directly condensing the flame breath on the blade, and greeted Wang Zhi with a fierce tiger move, but at this moment four or five soldiers rushed up to block the blow with their bodies,
More than a dozen other soldiers also quickly waved their weapons to kill.

Zhou Ji didn't care too much at the moment, he used the tiger saber technique to stand with these soldiers. Although these soldiers were not weak, they were not too strong to deal with.

After a fierce fight.

Although Zhou Ji was wounded in more than ten places, he managed to cut down nearly twenty of his own soldiers.

What puzzled Zhou Ji was that Wang Zhi was watching the play from the beginning to the end, and he just watched with his own eyes, all twenty of his loyal bodyguards died under Zhou Ji's hands, which must be said to be very strange.

Wang Zhi smiled coldly, "You have become weaker!"

Zhou Ji said in a deep voice, "Killing you is enough!"

"Hehe, you don't know anything about the power of foreign gods, so let's let you experience it today!"

A dark red bone appeared in Wang Zhi's hand at some point. At first glance, this bone seemed nothing special, like a fragment of a creature's skull. But if you look carefully, you will find a trace of strong oppression from this mysterious bone. feel.

between speeches.

Wang Zhi raised the skull to cast some kind of magic.

The corpses of the twenty bodyguards at the scene changed, and their flesh and blood shrank and disappeared at an extremely fast speed. Large groups of scarlet aura evaporated from them, and finally quickly gathered in front of Wang Zhi to become four blood-colored giants.

Each giant is about four meters tall, made of flesh and blood that is as sticky as wax, and exudes a disgusting stench!
They look extremely ferocious, with thick limbs and muscular bodies. They have a figure like a fitness trainer, but there are five irregular heads on their necks, and each head has a different expression on its face.

Zhou Ji had never seen such a weird method.

From this point of view, the soldiers around Wang Zhi are not living people at all, they should also be puppets created by sorcery, it is difficult to kill them with ordinary means, so Wang Zhi doesn't care.

Don't wait to think.

The four blood giants took the lead in attacking.

It looks clumsy, but it's actually surprisingly fast.

They can manipulate the arms to simulate weapons with terrifying killing capabilities, such as sledgehammers, large axes, sharp blades, etc.!

Even facing the siege with Zhou Ji's skill is very embarrassing. After narrowly dodging more than a dozen attacks, he finally caught an opening and slashed at a giant with his knife.

The blade easily passed through the body.

It's like cutting on a ball of water.

The Giants were not affected one bit.

A backhand hammer blasted him to the wall.

Zhou Ji vomited blood directly, only felt that his ribs were cracked, his internal organs were damaged, and some kind of filthy and evil energy was eroding his body. Fortunately, he was wearing the green quality armor sent by the Scourge Army, otherwise he would have been unable to stand up with just this blow. Woke up.

"My attack is useless..."

Zhou Ji looked at the giant he had chopped down just now.

I saw that the huge incision on his body had basically healed.

This shows that these blood giants do not take physical damage and can only attack with energy or spells.

Zhou Ji was already exhausted at the moment, plus he was injured, if he continued to entangle, he would definitely lose. As the saying goes, when shooting a man, shoot a horse first, and capture a thief first, he captured the king first. direction to kill.

Wang Zhi had already made preparations.

A blood-red shield was condensed.

Zhou Ji slashed twice in a row, but failed to cause damage to the shield.

At this moment, the four blood giants moved again, and each blood giant released dozens of tentacles from both hands, and quickly attacked from all directions. Zhou Ji barely cut off a few tentacles, and was bound and restrained immediately.

"That's it!"

Wang Zhi stepped forward and put his hand on the immobile Zhou Ji, only to see a gust of fresh blood quickly spread all over his body, and finally turned into a substance like blood wax, completely sealing Zhou Ji's body.

"Hehehe, although he is an overreaching idiot, he is still a high-quality sacrifice!"

This battle is over.

Zhou Ji was completely defeated!

…………

Luoshui base camp.

"Zhou Ji is still too reckless!"

"Luckily among misfortunes, Wang Zhi didn't kill him right away, maybe there will be someone to save him later."

After watching the whole process, Hang Yu fell into thinking. If he was only skeptical before, he is now sure.

Although Wang Zhi was not transformed into a terrifying monster by the will of the abyss like Pei Yuanshao and Ma Yuanyi, he has also been affected by the forces from the abyss, and what affected him should be the skull he got from nowhere.

The abyss is a very complex, huge and indescribable concept.

Although the vast majority of pollution sources are directly formed by the supreme will of the abyss, there are also many special pollution sources that come from some abyss evil gods or even more indescribable taboos.

These existences are usually the ultimate existences hatched from the nightmares of the abyss planes. They already possess the source of divinity and a very high personality, so they can not only escape from the dreams of the planes they were born in, but also be able to understand the dreams of other planes. make an impact.

The scarlet mother mentioned by Wang Zhi should be a certain evil god of the abyss.

Of course, with an ant like Wang Zhi, it is impossible to directly come into contact with the existence of the evil god level. His knowledge does not come directly from the scarlet mother, but from the skull in his hand.

If Hang Yu guessed correctly.

This piece of skull should be the wreckage left by a powerful family member or descendant of the Scarlet Mother. This piece of wreckage fell from the outside world into the Abyss Three Kingdoms plane in the early days of the abyss, and was finally obtained by Wang Zhi due to a coincidence. Wang Zhi exerted influence.

special pollutants like this.

In fact, it is not very rare in the abyss.

Wang Zhi obtained a lot of knowledge and even power from the skull, and also obtained the method of offering sacrifices to and communicating with the Scarlet Mother, but this kind of influence and gift is full of malice!

According to Hang Yu's understanding of the abyss.

Although this skull is just the wreckage of some evil god's relatives or descendants, it still has powerful abilities. It erodes Wang Zhi step by step, most likely because it wants to cultivate Wang Zhi into his resurrected body.

　Recently, I went on a long trip and went home the day after tomorrow, so the update is a little unstable in the past two days. I will try my best to maintain a normal update of about [-] words per day, but no matter how busy I am, there will be [-] words that I will never stop updating.
