Reincarnated Bamboo Rat Starts Extreme Survival

Chapter 338 The Thorn Army arrives in the Snow Monster Valley

"A strange new sun has appeared in the sky. Will this affect our mission?"

A group of burly men wearing linen cloaks stopped their silent march after Bell took off and continued to shine.

They are the most mysterious and low-key Thorn Army in the church. They are a group of ascetic monks who firmly follow God's creed and are willing to punish themselves.

The reason why it is called the Thorn Army is because the first test of becoming a Thorn Army is to complete a missionary journey with a mortal body with no spiritual practice, binding thorns all over the body.

Being able to embark on the path of preaching means that the preliminary members of the Thorn Army have a certain degree of resonance with the only God.

The road to preaching is an inhuman torture that lasts for nearly three months. It leaves a pure mortal in a state where his whole body is stabbed by thorns and cannot heal. He walks nearly [-] kilometers without being able to eat or drink.

Even if the physical fitness of ordinary people in the world of Digoa is much better than what Bell knows, under such torture that far exceeds the endurance limit of ordinary humans, the only outcome is to be tortured to death.

Their only hope for survival lies in the resonance between these devout believers and the only God.

As the missionary journey progresses, the Reserves of the Thorn Army will get closer to death, and the pull of the Sunken Sea on their souls will become stronger and stronger. If they were ordinary newly deceased people, their souls would have long been out of control, and they would be trapped by the Sunken Sea. The sea sucked most of it away.

Only an absolutely tenacious faith can keep their souls alive for a long time and force them to stay in their bodies in a complete state while resisting the attraction of the sinking sea.

They must remain in a state where they will die suddenly at any time until the power of the only god rises from the space between life and death. Only after establishing contact with these thorn armies can their state stabilize and stabilize at the moment before they are about to die suddenly.

The power of the One God will not heal the Thorn Army immediately, which will break the connection that was finally established. The One God needs two months to establish a permanent connection, which is why the missionary road lasts so long. .

However, before the Thorns Army system was established, the church leaders at that time were still able to communicate with the gods to a certain extent. Unlike today, where there are so many parallel imports, they clearly knew how the Thorns Army was born, and they had experimented with various techniques. A way to force people into a near-death state and survive as long as possible. Even the church leaders at that time found a better way to cultivate the Thorn Army than the missionary path.

But it is a pity that because the secular influence must be taken into consideration, the church finally gave up other plans and chose the path of preaching as the way to cultivate the Thorn Army.

Because compared to placing the Thorns Army reservists in a special execution chamber, allowing these Thorns Army reservists to be ridden by thorns to walk outside can play a role in spreading faith and increasing the piety of believers.

Be it humans or other intelligent beings, even mice with very low intelligence, intelligent beings will be deeply touched by the suffering and death of their own kind.

Life pursues comfort, and life hates pain. This is known to all intelligent beings.

But at this time, there is a unique individual who steps out from a large number of mediocre people, uses self-punishment methods that are unbearable to look at, and completes a road that ordinary people can never walk. The idol effect is amazing.

This is just like those super strong people who hold Guinness World Records or Olympic medals, who can naturally have a large number of fans.

For most of the strong people who pursue continuous breakthroughs in individual strength, these ordinary fans are irrelevant. After all, no matter what angle you look at, ordinary fans are absolutely not in the same class as them, and basically will not give any They bring substantial help.

But here in the church, their main role is to spread the belief in the only God, and try to keep believers' belief in the only God pure. The idol effect that a missionary journey can bring at this moment is extremely important.

At the same time, there are some members in the church who do not pursue the purity of their faith. Their main job is to raise funds for the church. After all, to maintain the normal operation of the largest organization in the world, the funds involved are not a simple matter, even if it is just the smallest amount. Basic reconciliation issues are enough to drive a large group of people crazy.

In the eyes of these church members who focus on making money, those who have completed the missionary journey are walking cash cows.

Their business methods are extremely clever. As long as they rely on the reputation of a Thorn Army, they can make those believers willing to pay, let alone let this member of the Thorn Army take a serious trip here.

The Thorn Army itself is the most secretive force of the established church, but the Thorn Army reserves are not. For those church members who focus on making money, if they operate properly and a Thorn Army reserve starts preaching in their own jurisdiction, then they Just make crazy money.

Although this method of making money is extremely bad in the eyes of most church members, and church members who specialize in making money will most likely be looked down upon within the church, a huge church always needs a group of such people. The senior officials of the Thorn Army also recognized it.

"After the prayer, the saint asked us not to worry about this matter and just concentrate on performing our tasks."

Among the thorn army that stopped advancing, a strong old man at the head ended his kneeling to pray.

There are various forms of magic communication in this world. The simplest one is similar to a gramophone. There are also more advanced and complex magic communication that can transmit sounds and images in real time.

But the Thorn Army obviously did not follow this path. Their internal communication took the form of prayer. Through their extremely pious beliefs, they followed the connection left by the only god on them and directly entered the only god on the back of the Sunken Sea. Communicate with other beings who are also connected to the One God.

In a sense, the church has already possessed the most advanced technology in the world of Digoya today - the 'Internet of Faith'.

The only god is the 'Internet' platform that spreads across the entire world. All soul holders are individual users outside the Internet. The Sea of ​​Sinking is a natural firewall.

Whether it is the Thorn Army or the Holy Sisters who are recognized by the only God and have established contact with him, they are advanced users who have paid the Internet fee and can use the Internet.

The unique Internet is not only capable of real-time communication, but also can be used to exchange knowledge.

This kind of exchange of knowledge is not about using the Only God Internet as an e-reader, but in a real sense to communicate with the knowledge carriers that have been left in the Only God Internet in the past.

For example, thousands of years ago, a certain Thorn Army member in the church was a hammer master, and his ability to throw a hammer with one hand was unparalleled.

Then after his death, his soul will be retained by the One God. When the new generation of Thorn Army thousands of years later will enter the Internet of the One God to search for chain hammer techniques, the chain hammer master will naturally contact this person. As a junior, I had technical exchanges with him and taught him everything he had.

In the so many years since the establishment of human hegemony, God knows how many souls of geniuses the One God has retained. Anyway, the Thorns Army entered the adaptive teaching mode many years ago, and newly became the reserve of the Thorns Army on the Internet of the One God. During the journey, you will encounter the guidance of dozens or hundreds of famous teachers whose techniques are closest to your own.

It is precisely because of the existence of the Internet, the One God, placed on the back of the Sunken Sea, that the Thorns Army will always remain strong. In the perception of the outside world, the members of the Thorns Army are basically masters of techniques. There are techniques in a Thorns Army team. Grandmasters are not unusual either.The power of master-level techniques. During Bell's adventure, among the legendary players he fought against, there was no one who was a master of techniques.

From this point of view, it is no less difficult to achieve the Grandmaster level by relying on the power of techniques than it is for an adventurer to advance to the Legend level.

In contrast, even though the individual levels of the Thorn Army are generally not very high, their actual combat power far exceeds those of the same level. Some high-level Thorn Army can even fight against parallel legends by relying solely on their skills.

"Continue to march."

The reason why the Thorn Army, which usually rarely appears in the southwest region, now appears in the most remote areas of the southwest region is also very simple.

They want to wipe out Bell, the base of heretical beliefs.

"I have already felt that the origin of that heretical belief is in the valley ahead."

After praying, the leader of the Thorn Army pointed to the valley in the distance. Their Thorn Army has the power to mobilize the power of faith to a certain extent. Even if most of the Thorn Army are not legendary, they rely on their connection with the only god to mobilize specific powers. The power of faith is not difficult. The Thorn Army calls this method 'divine magic'.

When the leader of the Thorn Army prayed just now, he not only communicated remotely with the Saint, but also used divine magic to investigate the surrounding area.

After entering the southwest region, their Thorn Army has not detected any obvious traces of heretical beliefs. On the one hand, this is because Bell's secular beliefs have scattered sources and low levels of belief. On the other hand, the magical effects they use are not powerful enough. Unable to observe microscopically.

Even if you are borrowing mythical power, you must also consider the circumstances of the power user. For a group of guys who have not yet reached the legendary level, their use of the power of faith is quite limited.

The Thorn Army has been wandering around the southwest for such a long time, and has only found detectable power of faith in the Winterthorn Mountains, the most remote part of the southwest.

This is the place where Bell's faith first came from, and it is also a place where Bell did not make any modifications to cover it up.

As a religious race that is better than humans, even though Bell didn't pay much attention to the snow monsters here, they still became Bell's devout and loyal believers, providing Bell with a steady stream of power of faith and constantly providing information about "giving birth to children". Bamboo Rat's rules.

Without the power of faith from the outside world, Bell, simply as the racial god of the Yeti clan, would probably be on the path of fertility worship, and eventually become a real 'bamboo rat'.

However, after establishing the Southwest Region and experiencing various events, Bell now has far more resources than before, and he no longer needs to be an ordinary snow monster race god.

But no matter what, as his first source of faith, it was the faith of the Yeti clan that made Bell aware of the existence of the power of faith. It was also in the Winterthorn Mountains that Bell used the power of faith for the first time.

Just like when those famous entrepreneurs recall their hard work experiences, they always emphasize their first pot of gold and tell about the hardships at the beginning of starting a business.

Bell still has feelings for the snow monsters in the Winterthorn Mountains. If he had not used the power of faith here to find the World Stone through the power of faith, Bell would not know what his development would have been like.

"The intelligent creatures in the valley are snow monsters. I am sure they are followers of the white bamboo rat and are ready to take action."

"Yes!" ×N
With an order, the Thorn Army quickly launched into action.

They are also veterans who have carried out two missions to deal with heretical beliefs. Their firm beliefs prevent them from having any sympathy for the massacre of intelligent life. Even if they have sympathy and compassion, they will not take action when the massacre is in progress. hesitate.

If they feel guilty, they will pray to God after the mission is over and they won't do anything else.

A team of about 80 Thorns Army, the next moment after deciding to take action, transformed into afterimages and quickly broke into the valley where the snowman lived.

As they approached the valley, they hurled a multitude of gleaming spears.

These spears were inserted around the valley according to specific trajectories. In an instant, several light curtains rose from the light spears, completely blocking the valley where the snow monsters lived.

Most of the snow monsters are trapped in the area blocked by the light spear. Only a small number of snow monsters who are hunting outside are not blocked.

There is no way, there are very few members of the snow monster family. This settlement was established by Bell, and most of the snow monsters have moved here. After this place is surrounded, it means that most of the snow monsters are blocked.

Especially the old, weak, women and children of the snow monster clan, they all live in the valley opened by Bell.

"Whoa whoa!"

The large-scale operation of the Thorn Army naturally attracted the attention of the Yeti clan, and the keenly aware Yeti warriors immediately issued a roaring warning.

But before the Yeti warriors could gather to attack the enemy, the Thorn Army had already rushed into the valley and attacked the Wendigo directly in front of them.

The thorn army clad in sackcloth waved his hand, and the chain hammer in his hand swung in a terrifying arc, hitting the first snow monster that roared a warning with astonishing force.

"Bang!!"

A loud bang came from the side of the snow monster, accompanied by the shattering of the thin soil and flying soil and grass roots. The members of the Thorn Army who completed the attack and the hit snow monster were both stunned.

The powerful and heavy blow of the members of the Thorn Army failed, and it failed in a rather outrageous way.

He watched helplessly as his hammer head passed through the snow monster's chest, as if passing through a phantom, without any feedback of force from touching the entity.
